Can you explain me which values you prompted to do this partition? i would have 8GB for app too! (i have a 32 gb mi2s as you) :)

I tried this but it's not easily possible for different reasons.
However if you use the CM gapps you may not need to resize the partition.(I didn't try it but they are 80MB only)

I confirm that with the CM gapps you don't need to extend it.
Tried with cm11, aosp and mokee roms.

you may have messed up your partition table. If you dunno how to manually fix it you can restore everything in dload mode with the tweezer-battery-shortcut

I know but you can manually enter dload mode with the shortcut described in this thread.
When your phone is in dload mode miflash recreates the partition table

woww,,, amazing. :D
Thank you Master Micha. You've saved my life.
My M2S have risen from the grave now. : D
 
After this I can not write anything in filemanager, what did I do wrong?

Logs in CWM say this:

I: Checking for extendedcommand...
I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I: Can't partition non-vfat: ext4
I: Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I: Can't format unknown volume: /emmc

Anyone knows what I did wrong or how I could fix it? I feel terrible because I don't want my phone to break... It costed me alot of money. :(

Thanks in advance for anyone thats reading it or has an idea how to fix it.

for some reason one partition wasn't formatted correctly.
can you post the output of this command please?(within CWM via adb)
"parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 print"

And btw it's nearly impossible to brick this phone.

I had to make a new account as I got locked out of my old one... I am not receiving the messages.

It looks alright as far as I can see?

EDIT: Fixed, followed all steps again and installed MIUI again, dunno what I did but its working. Thanks M1cha for suggesting! :D

Greetings, @alt_mimang.

Could someone help me on the parted command. It like it doesn't do something instead of giving me the partition table. Screenshot here. What did I do wrong?


Edit: When I try "adb shell parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 print"
this give me "Error: Error opening /dev/block/mmcblk0: Permission denied".
I looked (in system/bin) parted file's ownership (root:root) and permissions (777). Don't know what to do more than that..

Edit: PLEASE FORGET all that I wrote! I tried again and for now, it works. And what I meant before is that I couldn't see that I wrote the first time after tipping "parted" because of many lags, bugs, virus, trojans, ads, spiders, dust and others stranges inhabitants in/on my pc :D

Some kind advice, reinstall your pc. Then make use of a virusscanner and be careful with whatever you do.
Or maybe stop visiting those weird porn sites :p

shouldn't browsers be secure enough that websites can't do anything bad? ;)
anyway it's always a good idea to stop visiting weird sites :D

Even if they were secure enough, people would still be stupid enough to get infected :p

after changing the partitions, i have no write access to sdcard ;-(
it seems a permission problem, but i'm unable to find the bug. sdcard is mounted, i can read everything, but no write access.

update1: i also can delete files, but don't create
factory reset didn't solve the problem.

update2: recreate alle partitions from 23-27 + reboot recovery + fresh install last CM11 from micha via sideload
if i try to create a file on sdcard with filemanager i got the message "Dieser Vorgang benötigt höhere Berechtigung"
a simple "mkdir" via terminal gives only "permission denied"

someone have a idea?

Curiously I'm able to do almost anything since I've partitionned my phone with the help of this thread but only symlinks aren't created on /storage/sdcard0. And when created through /storage_int, they don't appear in both. Could this be also related to what you got?
