This is repartition mod for you who wants a bigger internal storage on your PICOpad GGD3. Since not all users following this blog, i think it’s better to explain first why do we need this mod. Okay, let’s begin with the question : Why do we need to re partitioning the internal storage into a bigger one ? The answer is pretty simple, so we can install much more applications into internal storage area without having to use app2sd feature, in case just to extend the internal storage space while we need more room for a bunch of apps. By making 2Gb size for the internal storage then you have a plenty of space to accomodate many more apps without having to use “move to sd” feature when you’re running out of space storage for apks.
The hack mods is pretty self explanatory, it will replace the extended MBR (EBR) which contains the partition scheme on the device with the new size for internal storage (usrdata partition) and adjusting the phone storage (fat partition) size so it will not affecting other partition. The other important system wide partition will stay intact so it won’t risk any overlapping partition scheme.

How to use :

- Backup the content of the phone storage into your computer!! We will format this partition, so it is irreversible.
- Backup all your applications, documents or any other files you may find important to you, because we will factory resetting the device later. … and yeah, your all high score game will lost.
- Reboot into CWM or TWRP recovery
- Backup your system using nandroid backup !!

- Go back to Home screen, and do Factory Reset !!! (Do NOT forget to factory reset or you’ll get into bootloop)
- Reboot the system
The first boot will take a little longer since the OS needs to populate again the new data partition after we formatted them. When I say a little longer, it doesn’t mean a couple of hours or years it’s only a minute or two, maybe less. After boot completed, go to Settings page, and select Storage, and you will see your internal storage will resize to 2.11Gb, To make it clear here is the capture before and after repartition mod :
Sometimes, during my tries here, i found the internal storage won’t change on the first try. If you still cannot see the 2Gb internal storage but your usb phone storage already decrease its size, no worry … somehow the system still see the old partition, just go back to CWM or TWRP recovery and wipe data / FactoryReset again, the second time you boot completely, they will appear as 2Gb size.
done.
Enjoy extra large space on your PICOpad GGD3 !!
