Increasing internal memory of XOLO Q800 (MT6589) (internal memory re partitioning)

Xolo q800 Internal memory re-partition, Extending App memory

I believe you have faced low internal memory problem while installing apps as i do. And some of you have tried partition SD card and used link2SD as i do, This link2SD is not my choice, because i'm using Class-4 SD card, Ya i know its too slow, But OK for me.

I searched a lot for this specific process finally found a way and sharing for you guys...

Believe me its good try, and got good success too. It is just expanding Internal Storage location with Phone storage. As we all known Xolo q800 having 4GB ROM (1 GB apps, 2GB phone storage-video,photos,etc, and another 1gb for ROM i guess I DONT KNOW ;) ) So what we are doing now is, changing internal storage space to 1.6GB and phone storage to 1.4GB.  Enough Stories for now straight get you to the main part
