Can I repartition my N9 internal storage
 
Actually , I can't install more apps on my N9 because of the "small" 4Gb partition for installed apps . I know there ara a way to increse this partition by editing the eMMC image . I did it with my old N900 and it worked but never try it with my N9 . Did anyone try it with their N9 ?

I changed 4096 by 8192 in hope of having 8Gb partition for installed apps . But after reflash the device , nothing change , I always have 4Gb for this partition :

4GB is enough for me, but I'd like to reformat the data partition as ext4 instead of vfat.

Yep , you don't know how cheap it is to buy an app in Nokia Store in my country . It's just about 24 cent , 50 cent or 75 cent for an application .

I found the information about the rootfs partition ( installed apps partition) on the firmware image :

I editted it and tried to flash it with the editted eMMC image but got this error :

I think it's a bit complicated and dangerous for my device so I stop researching about this :)

Is there no parted / resize command available on N9?
