Any mod to resize system partitions on the Xiaomi Mi8?

[skan]

I'm looking for a mod or script to resize system, data, cache... partitions on the Xiaomi Mi8.
The default system size is too small (2.9GB) and gets full easily, causing problems on Google services and other apps.

By default nothing goes to system partition?

What do you mean?

The user doesn't use directly the system, data, cache... partitions but android does it automatically when you install apps and use them.

Nothing goes to /system when you install, use or upgrade apps.

The more apps I install the less free space I have on those partitions.

/cache and /data are used, but not /system.

In my phone I also see how /system grows.
Anyway, any mod or easy way to resize the /cache and /data partitions?

I don't have a Mi 8, but look in TWRP in "Advanced" if there might be a choice to modify partitions.

I remember I saw that in some TWRP, possibly unofficial, for some of my devices, but have never tried it.

OK, I've found that TWRP 3.2.3 does have the option to resize partition, though I haven't dared to do it yet.

I don't understand why anyone would need to mess with that

Because no matter how much ROM has your phone the partitions used by the system have a fixed size and it can be too small.
If you google it you will find it's a common problem.

That depends on what apps you use

NO, apps do not tamper with the system partition! This is a given fact, unless you prove otherwise.

Why you seeing system partition used space grow? Nothing from user or app can touch system partition. Except root and move user app to system partition. Dont worry about that
