Guest ricardopvz Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone! When i first made a partition layout (this one), it came to be a little difficult (i have almost no experience in hex editing),so i decided to make a windows program so anyone could make their one partition layout. Screenshots: This program creates the "partition_zte.mbn" and "appsboot.mbn". GEN1 Follow the guide here and use the files you created. Warning: I don't have a gen1 blade, so I couldn't test this, but it should work. GEN2 Put the files you created in "files" folder in this zip and follow the guide here Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?ma18idbscsmojqn md5: fb74aa28795192226717225eeedc80ac If you have any problems or suggestions, just tell me :) Edited April 18, 2011 by ricardopvz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimJam707 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Looks good. When you press Create Files, what files does it create? A TPT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ricardopvz Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Looks good. When you press Create Files, what files does it create? A TPT? Just partition_zte.mbn and appsboot.mbn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fonix232 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Just a suggestion, make it general! So, read (and modify) files from a subfolder, that will make it easier to use (for Gen1 users too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone!

Screenshot: This program creates the "partition_zte.mbn" and "appsboot.mbn", put them in "files" folder in this zip and follow the instructions starting in step 3 here Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?ajocgnl65mul7w8 md5: f4bc545d738698ea699b3b336c5fa43d If you have any problems or suggestions, just tell me :) Just wondering... when you load the app initially, the default memory layout adds up to 440mb with 0mb of unallocated space. However, if you adjust the Cache slider up by 1mb and then back down by 1mb again it then says there is 1mb of unallocated space available. this would mean that there is actually a total of 441mb available. So does this mean that in any further adjustments, the user should leave 1mb of space unallocated? Or is something reporting wrong? Obviously, if there is not enough space to contain the layout, the update could potentially fail so I just wanted to be clear. Thank you in advance for your advice Ricardo Edited April 17, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance for your advice Ricardo Thanks for your finding, it is a bug in the program, that happens with any slider. Fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lister Of Smeg Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi ricardopvz, Neat little App, not personally tried this myself yet as I am still on Gen1... and I have two family members who are also on Gen1. We dont believe in migrating yet to Gen2 until it becomes more mainstream and that support for Gen1 completely drys up... at the moment, there appears to be more happening for Gen1 devices. Therefor, as someone else also suggested, whats the chances in making this work for both Gen1 and Gen2 users...?? Many thanks, great tool... :) Lister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ricardopvz Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 What is OEM partition? It's a new partition added in gen2 blades, but it isn't used for nothing (at least in the current roms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 softbank stock rom uses oem partition for camera photos if no sd card present I used this today and reflashed my phone without a hitch... I set the data partition to 268mb, however Titanium backup is saying I now have 280mb total in data. Is there any way I can check that I got the layout I wanted? Is there an app or something that will report how the memory is divided up? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an app or something that will report how the memory is divided up? Thanks in advance. Go to the terminal and type "cat /proc/mtd" (without quotes) take the first 4 numbers or letters, convert them from hex to decimal, divide by 16 and you have the total space in a partition.

Guest Schwinni Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 ricardopvz, are you willing to share the sources for your program? I could then write it in Java in order to use it on any OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
