The original Xiaomi Mi Pad 1, released in 2014, featured a storage layout that allocated a very small amount of space (typically around 1.2GB to 2GB) for the /system and /data partitions. As modern Android versions and apps grew in size, this original partitioning became a "bottleneck," preventing users from installing newer custom ROMs like LineageOS or modern Google Apps (GApps) [1, 2].

The Mi Pad 1 features a dual-system layout (System1 and System2) alongside a tiny dedicated data partition. This setup was designed for MIUI's seamless update system but is highly inefficient today.
