Repartitioning your Pixel/Pixel XL
A dedicated post about the partition thing for Pixel & Pixel XL. Over here there will be the way on how to do it and down below you will find scripts to expand your system partition and revert back the process.
Repartition
If you want to install Android 13 or later versions, you are required to go through this step in order to continue with the installation.
This will be irrelevant for most people but if you care what was being modified, here's the changes:
vendor: 300MiB → 428MiB (+0.125*2GiB)
system: 2GiB → 3.55GiB (+1.55*2GiB)
userspace: 24.83GiB → 21.48GiB // 114.21GiB → 110.86GiB (-3.35GiB)
There is also a revised version of the script for both, the difference is that I have added a little bit more contexts and checks. Meanwhile the original script for 32GB model has some minor flaws (8 KiB wasted), which inspired me to create a revised version. Anyway any of the scripts will work, the option is up to you here.
1. Download: 32GB (Revised) | 128GB (Revised)
2. (Optional) Rename the file to
repartition.zip
3. LineageOS Recovery: Apply Update > From ADB // TWRP: Advanced > ADB Sideload4.
adb sideload /path/to/repartition.zip (/path/to/ is the directory of the file, or type "adb sideload " then drag the file into the terminal)5. LineageOS Recovery: Click "Continue" on the "Signature verification failed" screen.
6. If it's successful, you will see "Done!" printed on the screen.

Original partition
You did the repartition process but wanted to get it back to its original state. You are in luck.
1. The safest option, obviously, is to get the factory images from Google (Pixel, Pixel XL).
2. For those who doesn't want to download the full 1GB+ image and go through the long boring flashing process, step is the same as written above (32GB, 128GB).
