Guest oozi Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 That's impossible, as the Blade would only be able to access 64 MiB of RAM (remember, all sizes in the datasheet are in bits, not bytes). The Racer's MCP has 2 Gib (256 MiB). As far as RAM is concerned, I don't believe there's anything we can do. As for flash, perhaps we could gain access to the whole 4 Gib (512 MiB), but that might not be such a good idea (think spare sectors). well played my friend, i missed that part of the BITS! i was calculating using Bytes now its for sure that we cant expand the memory any further.
Guest Amphoras Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 We use all memory... # df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 82.8M 44.0K 82.8M 0% /dev tmpfs 82.8M 0 82.8M 0% /mnt/asec tmpfs 82.8M 0 82.8M 0% /mnt/obb /dev/block/mtdblock5 220.0M 140.5M 79.5M 64% /system /dev/block/mtdblock6 162.5M 91.5M 71.0M 56% /data /dev/block/mtdblock4 37.5M 1.2M 36.3M 3% /cache 220+162,5+37,5+82,8 = 502,8M + boot+ recovery = 512M... There is a lot of space unused in the system partition, same on the cache partition. Has anyone tried using a TPT to repartition the internal memory to get more space for apps? Are there any TPT's for the Racer around?

Guest SoftStoner Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Btw, what about the use free space in the system for swap? I'm not really fond of this idea, since it would increase (irreplaceable!) flash wear. Creating a swap file on a memory card is one thing, but doing it on the internal flash? I don't think so... :unsure:

I think I'll replace the phone before they wear out flash. In addition, the swap is not always used.
Guest wicky feat Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Unlock 512 MB ROM possible? Here is a spec that shows 512 MB ROM. http://mtsredenergy.com/livewire-techspecs.html Can we do it somehow using TPT method?
Guest deadlink Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 we have 512M ROM, read this topic
Guest wicky feat Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 we have 512M ROM, read this topic Yeah. just read :) What if we use blade method for our racer?(i know that they mentioned " not for other mobiles") Will phone be hard bricked?
Guest deadlink Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 We use ALL ROM memory now. For what you would like to use blade method???

It should be possible to repartition the internal memory in the same way you can for the Blade, Skate, Blade 2. To do so you need to get a Racer TPT and edit some of the files.
Guest equiliym Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 My partition size is different than yours. Can i increase /system partition by deducting /data as i need more system apps on /system. why not just make an sd-ext with lets say 256mb ext3?
