It depends on what your needs are. If you're willing to wipe out your
device
and modify the ROM image, it can be done. Adam Dingle did just that a
couple of
years ago. However, if you're looking for something that can adjust the
size on
the fly while at the same time preserving your storage heap, it can't be
done.
