Note(Important):Android 4.3-4.4+ Roms and Gapps packages are getting larger. Developers recommend increasing the size of the Android System partition to 500MB-600MB. The ACMEInstaller3 only gives us 400MB so I recommend using the WebOS Preware app Tailor to change the partition size to 500MB or 600MB.
Note(Important)If you encounter any problems or errors after using this app you can fix it with the WebOS doctor.

-You may now unplug the USB cable.
4)On the tablet while booted into WebOS navigate to downloads and launch Preware.
-Search for the Tailor app, install it and launch the app
5)First unmount the USB (media partition), then check your file system.
6)Now you will be shown a number that is the the total space in MB for your media partition. Subtract the amount of space you will need for the System Partition for this number. Enter the new reduced number for the media partition and press enter. This may take a few mins.
7)Now Select the system partition and check the file system. Once complete you will be able to enter a new size for that partition and the process will be complete.
Note(Important): be patient and make sure you have a good charge when changing the partition sizes. It could take a longtime to complete. Do not turn off the Touchpad while this is happening and Do not let the Touchpad run out of batteries.
You can also increase the system partition buy using a Flashable zip or doing a fresh install with the new ACMEInstaller5:
