System partition full after rooting Nexus 6 Marshmallow 6.0.1

[03_27_2015]

After rooting device (not my first time, but my first time with my nexus 6 which was a virgin) I tried installing a custom font. I downloaded it and tried installing "X" font and said my system storage was full. I tried clearing some stuff but failed. I thought it was an error so i downloaded a new app and failed too.

I verified if my phone was rooted and it is. Later I decided that I wasn't in need of a custom font so I left it at peace, but I remembered about Xposed framework and want it to install it just for the modules , but failed terribly after showing me a message that said "not enough storage space." Broke my heart. I unrooted and OEM locked my phone and re-rooted to no avail. Still the same ol' problem.

When in the root process, I remember while booting into custom recovery temporarily I saw this new message (I had never seen before) that said Something about the system partition to set it to read only for future OTA's processes and I left it untouched.

Also I checked on Titanium back up and other apps.
Cache: 256mb-------------- 13.4mb used, 242mb free---Good
System: 2GB ---------------------2GB used, about 300KB free---Bad
Data (userdata) 26.5Gb----2.5GB used, 24.1GB free---Good
Ram---- who cares. Its ok.

I need Help please I want to have space to install Xposed, all these fonts and stuff. How can I free space or somehow to let my phone now there's more space or idk something. A fix I've never seen this issue before.

There are two options.

1. Use TWRP to resize the system partition
2. Uninstall (delete) some system apks (that you are sure you won't need) from /system/app or /system/priv-app

Funny, i have the exact same problem and did the exact same thing as you mentioned. Even funnier, my purpose of rooting was to be able to install custom fonts, i used ifont. But same issue as yours.

I am not sure what the solution maybe, as mentioned uninstall some system apps, but how ? just browse to the folder and delete ?
I have used titanium backup to uninstall few apps that i may not need, google newstand, google music etc, but still the root partition is out of free space.

Any help is appreciated.

You'll have to root/TWRP of course.

The easiest method is to just uninstall a bunch of the Google apps (via an app like titanium backup) and just reinstall then via the Play Store. This moves them from /system to the userdata area. You can free up 700+ MB that way. There's no reason to resize anything.

I deleted the foreign language keyboards from /system/app. Be sure to keep the LatinIME one though, that's needed for English.
