Guest wbaw Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) The new cache relocation script should work in all the zte 2.2 based custom roms here. It loads /cache as a ramdrive now, so it also speeds up app install & saves a little more room on /data. I found a standard post boot init script to edit that is the same on all the zte froyo roms. I've not tested it on decrossed, but it should work, i can't see any reason it wouldn't, i had a look & the same script that i updated is in decrossed too, i've tested it on flb-froyo r8a-slim, japanese jellyfish 9 & modaco froyo r12. I've not tested CM7, so I'm not sure if that CM script actually works. I tried a slightly modified version of the script from CM7 (just changed the directory name) on flb-froyo & it did nothing at all, it's all in an IF statement & I'm not sure the condition was met, maybe the cache partition isn't small enough to trigger it. I'll test CM7 later tonight. Edited February 17, 2011 by wbaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbaw Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Another little piece of the puzzle ... If you download AFV - Android File Verifier free from the market, it'll check nandroid.md5 files that I've included in the /image folders for my repartitioning tpt install. So we can verify the file integrity properly before doing a tpt flash now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eAlex79 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 People has anybody tried linux kernel commandline parameter softpartitioning with the blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbaw Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 no, i've not heard of that, eAlex, we're hex editing the tpt install files. dougal, there is one more missing piece in the jigsaw, my updater script doesn't work in clockwork3 ... so if you're installing any other rom you'll need to do it with the included clockwork2, until somebody fixes it.

Guest Celtic67 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Did anyone make a tool to edit the partition table in those files? I'm just hex editing them just now to create my own partition layout, but think it should be fairly easy, if I can find time to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom G got halfway there & had an app that would read the partition table, but i think he gave up on it. An android app to do it would be good. Especially if you could take it a bit further & do almost the full process. It should verify the tpt files, nandroid backup, hexedit the partition layout (automatically picking the right size for system), flash recovery image to boot & reboot.

Guest wbaw Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I plan to integrate the partition editing function into my app (see thread on the build.prop editor). Fantastic. It'd be a lot better having an app for that than hex editing binaries manually. The recovery program part complicates it a bit, because none of the current ones will work with every update zip. Hopefully seb will update amon-ra so that it can install CM7 (as well as every other rom). It's not too much of a problem if your app can do a nandroid backup & put it in a directory where the recovery program will find it. I know exactly how I'd want it to work, I just haven't written any android apps yet. So let me know if you want me to test it out & offer some suggestions to improve it (unless you get it perfect first time of course).

Guest BurgerZ Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Hi everybody. I have a chinese version of Blade (Belarussian operator Velcom). It has only 256Mb of RAM (gen2). How can I change the partition layout without bricking my phone? The first attempt was unsuccessfull (brick), then I debricked my blade. And now I'm confused how to change awefull layout (220 system, 162.5 data & 37.5 cache).... # cat /proc/iomem 02500000-025fffff : ram_console 02600000-0fffffff : System RAM 02632000-02ce2fff : Kernel text 02d0e000-02e2bc2f : Kernel data 9c004300-9c0043ff : smc91x.0 a0000000-a001ffff : kgsl_reg_memory a0000000-a001ffff : kgsl a0200000-a0200fff : msm_serial_hs.0 a0400000-a0400fff : msm_sdcc.1 a0500000-a0500fff : msm_sdcc.2 a0800000-a08003ff : msm_hsusb a0800000-a08003ff : msm_otg a0a00000-a0a007ff : msm_nand_phys a9900000-a9900fff : msm_i2c.0 a9900000-a9900fff : msm_i2c a9c00000-a9c00fff : msm_serial.2 aa200000-aa2effff : mdp aa600000-aa600fff : pmdh # Edited October 4, 2011 by BurgerZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
