1. Flashed with 1.60C.96
2.Soft Reset
3. Install Buzz's RAMDISK32MB
4. Install Post Install Fixes
5. Soft Reset
6.Copy a file to "RamDisk" folder

8. File is there.
Now my memory configs are as follows:

2. Storage : 14.60 MB
3.RamDisk :31.96 MB
Now, i would like to ask u all the following:
1. Shouldnt My STORAGE memory be around 30MB?
2. Is there anything else i should be doing that i missed out?
3. If i do hard reset, how can i prevent the data in RAMDISK from dissapearing.???
Thanx a million in advance all!
a big thanks to BUZZ and TofClock and XDA2Jojo for making it all possible!
Following the guide (http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=6594&catid=26)
shouldn´t you have this additional link (http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&catid=26&id=6657#6657) at the end of his post, in order o achieve more persistent memory?
Hope this helps, best regards

Hi all,
Almost everytime I check the forum I see a lot of rom upgrade & BIG Storage questions. Apparently not everyone is familiar with the wiki and search options on the board. That's a shame cause almost all the questions are answered in the already existing threads. So why a new thread about the same topic?
1. I'm chauvinistic and want my name on the board ;-)
2. To aggregate a part of my knowledge in one place for easy access.
3. To promote the wiki
- So if you tried to upgrade your rom and got an error 120: follow this description http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
- If you failed in upgrading your rom somehow & now you're stuck in the bootloader: just make sure usb connections are allowed in Active Sync, connect your magician with usb to your PC and run the rom upgrade program again.
Sometimes it helps at this stage to downgrade ActiveSync to version 3.8 (see the post from benenglish).
- If you need to go to bootloader for any reason (including incorrect rom upgrade) press 'camera, power and soft-reset' all at the same time for some seconds, till your screen fades and reads: Serial V1.0x. When you connect it to usb it should read ' usb V1.0x
- If you want to change the language from your magician (not including from or to Greek, cause those roms and devices are protected), just use http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade again.
- If you want to flash your magician with a charmer or any other rom, please don't you will loose your device when you kill your bootloader and that's very likely to happen while flashing a not suitable rom.
- Want a WWE BIG Storage rom the easy way? Follow http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade and download ftp://xda:[email protected]_NK.nbf/BIG_Storage_nk_for_rom_1.13WWE.zip This NK.nbf is patched for BIG Storage, you only need to put it in the directory with the extracted shipped-rom.
- Want a BIG Storage rom in any language the easy way? Download a shipped-rom from the ftp or any telco and follow http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
- Want to get BIG Storage via a SD Card flash, read it here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianSDflash
- Don't know what BIG Storage is? It is your ext-rom (with the operator customization cabs) exchanged for a larger internal Storage folder. So remember to backup those cabs before upgrading.
- When you want to revert from BIG Storage to the original Storage and ext-rom combination, make sure you put > 8MB data in your Storage folder before flashing it back with a normal rom. Otherwise you'll loose your Storage folder completely :-(. Seems that this might be a solution & doesn't work for everyone. Try it if reverting with empty \Storage folder isn't successful.
Any questions left, I guess so. Now don't be scared and put them on the board, nobody is going to eat you (at least not straight away) and someone will answer.
But remember that when this topic is still visible in the first page of this board I will probably stop answering new threads about BIG Storage and rom upgrading questions, I've done that for 5 months now and I'm starting to loose my interest.
Regards, M
Ps If you're really stuck in a rom upgrade & can't get it working, last resort is to pinpoint me to a location where I can download your rom-dump or the shipped-rom & I can prepare it for you. All it takes is a cup of coffee on my, for now, virtual world trip. Got Italy, Cyprus, Argentina, Asia, UK, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Turkey & US allready. So if you're living in any other country, especially Indonisia, Australia or New Zealand, be my guest.
Great job OLTP..
Your the man :lol:
- If you failed in upgrading your rom somehow & now you're stuck in the bootloader: just make sure usb connections are allowed in Active Sync, connect your Magician with usb to your PC and run the rom upgrade program again.

AND USE ACTIVESYNC 3.8
My upgrade was stuck at this stage - removed Activesync 4.0 - Installed 3.8 and ran the firmware update again - its now "Upgrade Radio Stack - Please wait" with the progress bar going along on the screen.
Hope this helps
I've heard/read more complaints about Act.Sync 4.0. Though 4.0 is working flawless on my side, every contribution that works is valuable information. I updated the first post with it.
Thanks
Big storage
I did a big storage for my Mini by using a copy of my rom, changing the bytes as told in the guide to upgrading with a HEX Editor. I have installed programs to new storage gained but my main memory is showing very little memory. I have no programmes installed in main memory. What should I do now ?
How much memory have you got free. I got now, on my fully loaded device, 9.6MB storage & 22.5MB program memory occupied.
Did you happen to load all the cabs you copied from your ext-rom again? Those cabs install in RAM.
Cheers, M
stotage lost
pls help... i lost my storage when i flash my mini in my stock shipped rom i followed instruction of olps to soted data at least 8mb of files but it didnt works still lost my storage...
how can i back it again..is there any hope?..
thanks
First thing to do is to load the BIG Storage rom again. This should give you back the \Storage folder.
Now did you use the same rom version for BIG Storage as your original rom version? Some do claim it needs to be at least the same country version.
So pls try to revert to the same version only without BS & you can always try with an empty \Storage folder.
Seems that some tricks work out different on several devices.
Good luck, M

Can I upgrade my Mda compact 2 also with a sd-card like the compact ?
When I make a hardreset with the card in the slot, i cannot chosse to install from sd-card.
That's something I don't know. Try one of the board's for WM5 devices like the Wizard. Maybe you can find your info there.
Success, M
[edit] could you append it here too pls, if you find it?
Hi OLTP,
Right now I have 8.04mb free in storage memory (big hack). In MAIN memory around 3.10 mb in program memory (in use 23.47 mb). Storage (main) - in use 28.29 mb and free 2.55 mb. This keeps going less and less so from time to time as I use and close programs. So I keep doing a soft reset. I get critical memory short error. What do I do.
Should I flash with my saved original ROM (the one I had before doing the hack) and then immediately flash the saved Big Rom ? Please let me know. You are the Guru.
@ Galahad: What kind of software did you install after the update? & how's the memory pressure right after a hard-reset (don't forget to make a proper backup first)?
Do you use cabinstl to install cabs to another location then 'default' (which is RAM)? & tell Act.Sync to install to Storage or Storage Card, otherwise your RAM will be used up very soon.
My advice no need to reflash right now, a hard-reset should be sufficient to see what is causing your prob.
M
After the hack I had installed couple of commercial software, all into storage memory thru active sync which prompts you where you want to install. I choose storage memory (26.92). I keep doing this for all the commercial software I need to install. When I finished doing this I had 6 mb free. so far so good. Then I started installing cabs files from Ext Rom copy on harddisk, with cabinst. These were smart dial cab, O2 connect and a few other (which I thought necessary) cab files. These too I installed into storage memory. If my memory serves me right, I started experiencing a sudden slide down in memory after this. Before this I had around 25 mb memory free. Then suddenly the slide down in memory. In fact Resco today plug in shows me the dramatic slidedown as if the memory is getting sucked down a black hole.
I will do a hard reset as suggested by you and then load my software into storage memory. This time I will not install cab files from Ext Rom. Is that OK ?
Your O2 software is def. causing your probs. If you need some apps from it, try WinCECabManager. With it you can see which files are stored where on your device. After cab installation you can move them to eg. \Storage\Windows & change all links & reg keys referring to those files. Or change tea cab-file of course. It can take some time, but ves a huge amount of RAM.
M
Thanks ! I will try your suggestion. Have never used WINceCab Manager. Hope it is not too technical.
Not for me, it's a bit like explorer. But then again I'm not standard.
Some good news !
Like I said, I had around 24 mb free memory after the big storage hack (after installing all applications, whether in storage memory or storage card).
The good news is that all my FREE MEMORY has come back. Don't know really how it happened. I was using my blue tooth device which I switched thru the icon on the screen bottom right.
In error I touched the icon to rotate screen orientation. When I finally got my orientation correctly, I also got all my lost memory.
IMAGINE THAT !
Thanks for all your quick responses and great help you gave me. I will surely emulate you helping ways.

Dear OLTP, I am not able to find the patched nk.nbf on the ftp. Kindly check it is not there.
When I use nbfdec.exe for decoding the NK.nbf it gives me crc error and the decoding fails. whereas with the same set of NK.nbf,ms.nbf and radio.nbf I have success fully upgraded my magician to WWE1.13 with radio1.13 Kindly help
Guys, becouse I finished working with our project and our phone, I forgot to upload here my last version (kernel, initrd, Debian linux, my latest Android, tools, tutorials...), here I will upload "all in one" including all my latest versions/changes. Whats new:
- new kernel with disabled perflock (automatic owerclock, but there is new aplication for owerclocking you not need to install cpu master)
- new tools added to build like mkfs.yaffs2, e2fsck, bootdebian...
- working mtd driver (from dmesg you will see 4 new partitions as a example)
- Debian linux
- kernel and initrd booting from ram and not from sd card... etc etc
- previous battery driver with small fix (android is very fast now and stable!)
- adsp changes (audio was wrong while playing video ... module is propertly detected but hd video not working, something with memory need to be fixed)
Becouse packed archive is about 3gb I will create torrent (someone must seed it in order for it to be available to others...I will stop seed when I see some guys have 100% downloaded... If I see no seeds I will stop seeding my file and you will have unfinished archive!!! So seed it after full download or upload it to site like megauload and post here download links!)
This is my last post here I want to say you good luck with finishing our project! Here I will post all tools I used and will create an big tutorial how to run Debian, how to erase your mtd partitions, how to erase your sd card, how to run our version, how to run Debian, how to connect to Debian, how to compile directly on phone (yes it is slow but working! No need linux machine, no need cross compilers...etc)...etc. When I pack all I will post download links!
Tutorials will be in attachment!

howdy mate...! but can i ask you why...?
what does it mean that android boot from ram and not from sd card??
and how come it weights so much?

when you boot from ram it mean you have real chance to unmount sd card fat32 partition - when zimage/initrd is in fat32 you could not umount sd card (but you need to edit initrd -> partition your sd card: 3 x ext2 1 x fat32 -> it mean: separate fat32 partition from system/data/cache ext2 - with that partition layout you will fix many problems including known problem with file transfer to sd card...!)
About nand boot - it is like ram boot! I contacted Cotulla he helped me about something. He say we not need to touch spl! Hspl is not created becouse is hard job so he say we can do all nand stufs with sspl!!! Only we neeed to create ram image with android bootloader and upload it to nand with sspl!!! See post in mtd_utils thread where I posted link to an small bootloader, it will be compatible! After uploading ram image (android image with bootloader) you need to pass comand line to kernel, example how I done it with startup.txt:
Code:
mtdparts=msm_nand:[email protected](boot),[email protected](root),[email protected](system),[email protected](userdata)
and you need to change offsets in that bootloader, I think it is not hard, but only hard is locating offsets... I think Cotulla will help you but you need to ask him and donate him!
I will create tutoriall how to dump whole nand (it will bee needed for finding all offsets inside - needed for porting android nand image and small bootloader)...
so, where can we download this from?
really hurts to hear that you are leaving this project...
sounds good, thanks for the explanation
Here is torrent I will seed 3 days from 7:00 to 23:00
Can you, pleace upload, your torrent on some open tracker??? Demonoid.me is saying "Public registrations are closed"!!! How do you think we can download it?
Welcome again, Munjeni
Thanks very much.. I will look at it..
------------------------------------
Puxus, it must download automatically or try BitSpirit, it's my Favorite Torrent Client!
I don`t know, maybe the problem is in my proxy... I try install BitSprint, but it does`nt metter, I can not get the torrent file... After clicing on munjeni`s link, i have a massage:
"Non-registered visitors are limited to just a few torrent downloads per week.
To download the torrent you must register."
Anyway if its possible, upload it somewhere else, if not - just ignore me. Thanks, have a good day!
Okay, Puxus my problem is it legally to attach this torrent file?
here is it, and if illegally I will delete my attach torrent. and I'm sorry if illegally.
And try BitSpirit, to begin.
@puxus I added 50 trackers inside my torrent I think it is allready indexed by other... iPlasm uploaded my torrent here!
But sorry guys I must turn off my computer, I will continue torrent seeding in the morning
Anyway，thank you for your work. Good luck for you,but if you come back someday, thousands of HDmini users who have known you will be here and say welcome to you!

I built from source a CWM Recovery, version 6.0.4.4 adapted by me to build in cm-10.1 environment, for ZTE V967S phone. I have to say Thank you to C3C076 for his help. He was kind to help me to figure out how to tweak building source for recovery, to obtain a compatible recovery. So, you should thank him, or even better to donate to him if you can. Now I improved the MTK compatibility, I fixed restore old recovery issue.
The CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery can be downloaded from downloads section. If you care enough, and you like what I did, after download just hit the Thanks button. If you use it or port it and ask other to hit Thanks for you, do the same here to show respect for my work.It is fully functional: it works for flash zip, to wipe, mount (both internal and external sdcard), backup, restore, format to factory from phone settings menu, apply updates from stock ROM, etc.If you share my compiled recovery on other sites or forums, please give proper credits for it!

1. SPFlashTool backup ROM
A SPFlashTool prepared backup from last stock version 1.0.0 - 27.08.2013 for NonChina Market, if you need to unbrick your phone, or if you want to revert to stock. This version has English as default, and also include Chinese and Russian. It has root and custom CWM, otherwise is untouched. You have to flash this one with SPFlashTools. The scatter file is included.
3. A version prepared from last LewaOS v5 - only English - LewaMax v2.
Rooted, optimized, gapps included. The ROM will not change your recovery.
INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
Many people have problems with force closed processes because they don't flash a new ROM properly.
- In recovery, mount USB Mass storage and delete from sdcard these folders:
.android_secure
Android
LOSTDIR
- then back in recovery do a wipe all data/factory reset in CWM or Pre-Flash wipe in COT
- in CWM in advanced menu wipe Dalvik cache / in COT in storage management menu wipe Dalvik cache
- Now flash the ROM zip.
ATTENTION:
For extending data partition please refer to this source. It's better than my previous modd and I think it's safer. Thank you meteos.But, I recommend you to use top 2.5 Gb data partition size, and let remaining 237 Mb for sdcard failure situations.
Here you will find MTKDroidTools of rua1's.

I removed from that the preloader, since is a high risk to damage your phone using that. But if someone need it I will send him private. You have to flash this one with SPFlashTools. The scatter file is included.
2. An optimized ROM, prepared from 1.0.5 stock version, ZTE V967S ROM Max Flavour v-2. Slimed, odexed (about 60Mb apps on data usage), zipaligned, busybox, debloated, multilingual (sort of), and some other things. I replaced the Launcher with SOLOLauncher because is lighter (only 5-6 Mb instead of 20) and have more features. I've tested it and it works flawless. You should flash it with CWM Recovery.
3. Will come a version prepared from last LewaOS v5 for MIUI fans.

Hi Carliv, thank you very much for your rom. I am trying it and I am quite happy with that. I am only experiencing some problem with GPS: in some cases I was not able to switch on or switch off the GPS. Another thing that looks a little bit strange is that in YGPS -> Information the "chip version" is "UNKNOWN". With the sock ROM I am sure that the information about the chip version was displayed (MTK_GPS_.....). Have you the same issue?
Ciao.

No, I haven't any problem with GPS, and if you check GPS in YGPS with GPS switched ON it will show you chip version.
I don' understand where you can't swith on/off GPS: in quickpanel toggles, in settings locations... You don't say that. So, please, be more specific.
When I need GPS, I turn it ON, and it connects in about 3 sec. if I'm outside, or maybe 10 if I'm inside near a window.
Thanks for appreciations.
I'll try to help you if you give me more informations.
--------------------------later edit------------------
One other thing, I noticed that if you use scheduled power off/on, you have to manualy restart the phone after self turning on, because the WIFI and GPS doesn't work properly... I don't know why, and I think this is a bug in 1.0.5 version.
hello ,
thanks for your support in our phone ZTE V967S
i have bought the phone from minideal.net with 1.0.3 MULTILANGUAGE, rooted and google play store version and chinese CWM, but i want to install 1.0.5 version
and ENGLISH cwm. does your 1.0.5 version support full GREEK language?
how to install CWM Recovery 6.0.3.5??
you gave us the scatter file, the usb drivers for ZTE and the recover.img.
but HOW to use them? give us full details
As i can understand with SLIM version you do not have Google Play Store installed.
right?
i want to install SLIM version to have battery improvement but i am a little afraid if sth goes wrong (someone says that the GPS is not
working perfectly and maybe some important things are missing) what is your opinion for SLIM version in general? will i have a problem if i install SLIM
compared with FULL?
also i want the 5GB userdata partition.. how to manage that?
maybe i need first flash 2.5GB ZTE V967S P188F07 Max_v2
and then flash again Extend2_5GBUserData.zip
RIGHT?
can i do it directly ??

You're welcome!
Now, let's see:
1. No ROM is full multilanguage, except the case that all apps have multilanguage support. Otherwise, my version is as much multilanguage as minideal version from what I've seen - I ported translations from a Lenovo P770 because is very much similar. You will have Greek just like in minideal version.
We can try togheter to make a better translation if other users want that; I can post here archives with xml files that have to be translated, you make translations, post here back and I could integrate them in a ROM. That way we can translate even SystemUI, which now isn't.
2. To install CWM the easy way is with SPFlashTools - all you need is the scatter and recovery.img. Of course, you have to install proper drivers before - you can find them in first post. How to use SPFlashTools I can't reproduce here because there are several guides on forum, here is one of them. Just one thing: if you find hard to enter the phone in bootloader, just remove the battery and connect the phone to computer without battery - it will enter in bootloader automate.
3. I don't have gapps in my phone SLIM ROM, but version posted to download has, because many of you use them - I don't. The GPS is working perfect for me, the only bug I found untill now, and don't think is related to my work, but to original release, is that if you use Scheduled power on & off, after phone starts from sleep you have to reboot manualy, otherwise Wifi and GPS won't work correctly. I hope they'll solve that in a next release like they did with camera flash. But, overall slim or full version shares the same drivers, modules and libraries, and only difference is in installed apps. The full version has stock launcher and weather, and live wallpapers, etc. The slim version don't have those things.
4. You can't use a 5GB userdata partition because the entire phone memory is 4GB. You can expand userdata to max. 2.7GB, but I provided a solution for 2.5, because in case o SDCard failure on mount/unmount or other event, the phone will use those 270 MB from internal storage to function properly until you fix sdcard, without losing data. There are some solutions to expand data partition on sdcard, but I didn't tried them and I can't say you how that works. My ROM with 2.5 GB support will repartition userdata for you during install, and when the phone boots up you will see internal storage 2.5 GB instead of 1GB.
Ok, That covers all your concerns. Thank you for appreciations.
1. for Greek Language i think i am ok... as i can understand you import multilanguage support from Lenovo P770. how minideal managed to have Multilanguage support for 1.0.3 ?
did they import from another phone too?
2. another solution to install English CWM recovery is with Mobileuncle MTK Tools. do you agree? but thanks for your help for SPFlashTools.
ZTE USB Driver.zip ,MT6589 drivers.zip, MT6589 USB VCOM drivers.7z. which of the 3 drivers to install in order my PC to recognize my
phone? how to enter CWM? what do i need to press?
3. i want to have your SLIM version but with Google Play Store installed. how can i do this?
Are we sure that the problem with WIFI and GPS not working correctly after phone starts from sleep (Scheduled power on & off) is a problem

You're welcome!
Now, let's see:
1. No ROM is full multilanguage, except the case that all apps have multilanguage support. Otherwise, my version is as much multilanguage as minideal version from what I've seen - I ported translations from a Lenovo P770 because is very much similar. You will have Greek just like in minideal version.
We can try togheter to make a better translation if other users want that; I can post here archives with xml files that have to be translated, you make translations, post here back and I could integrate them in a ROM. That way we can translate even SystemUI, which now isn't.
2. To install CWM the easy way is with SPFlashTools - all you need is the scatter and recovery.img. Of course, you have to install proper drivers before - you can find them in first post. How to use SPFlashTools I can't reproduce here because there are several guides on forum, here is one of them. Just one thing: if you find hard to enter the phone in bootloader, just remove the battery and connect the phone to computer without battery - it will enter in bootloader automate.
3. I don't have gapps in my phone SLIM ROM, but version posted to download has, because many of you use them - I don't. The GPS is working perfect for me, the only bug I found untill now, and don't think is related to my work, but to original release, is that if you use Scheduled power on & off, after phone starts from sleep you have to reboot manualy, otherwise Wifi and GPS won't work correctly. I hope they'll solve that in a next release like they did with camera flash. But, overall slim or full version shares the same drivers, modules and libraries, and only difference is in installed apps. The full version has stock launcher and weather, and live wallpapers, etc. The slim version don't have those things.
4. You can't use a 5GB userdata partition because the entire phone memory is 4GB. You can expand userdata to max. 2.7GB, but I provided a solution for 2.5, because in case o SDCard failure on mount/unmount or other event, the phone will use those 270 MB from internal storage to function properly until you fix sdcard, without losing data. There are some solutions to expand data partition on sdcard, but I didn't tried them and I can't say you how that works. My ROM with 2.5 GB support will repartition userdata for you during install, and when the phone boots up you will see internal storage 2.5 GB instead of 1GB.
Ok, That covers all your concerns. Thank you for appreciations.

i can not understand what is LewaOS v5 ??? what are the differences with your modded rom?
gvekiaris said:
1. for Greek Language i think i am ok... as i can understand you import multilanguage support from Lenovo P770. how minideal managed to have Multilanguage support for 1.0.3 ?
did they import from another phone too?
2. another solution to install English CWM recovery is with Mobileuncle MTK Tools. do you agree? but thanks for your help for SPFlashTools.
ZTE USB Driver.zip ,MT6589 drivers.zip, MT6589 USB VCOM drivers.7z. which of the 3 drivers to install in order my PC to recognize my
phone? how to enter CWM? what do i need to press?
3. i want to have your SLIM version but with Google Play Store installed. how can i do this?
Are we sure that the problem with WIFI and GPS not working correctly after phone starts from sleep (Scheduled power on & off) is a problem
of ORIGINAL version? maybe it is sth eith your rom.... can someone confirm that?

I don't know how minideal got their translation, maybe they did it, it's not that hard, there are 4 files to translate to every language, and other 2 if you want SystemUI too, but you have to know a lot of foreign languages. That's the reason I said we can make a better translation, but everyone have to translate from English to his language.
Yes, you can install recovery with MobileUncle but you have to be rooted and to have MobileUncle installed. The way I presented works even for untouched stock ROM. Don't matter which order you install drivers. Install them all one by one, and connect phone in normal boot and wait for windows to install previous drivers for the new device, then connect phone in bootloader and wait again for windows to install necesary drivers.
The slim version posted here is with gapps included, you don't have to do anything for that - I thought I made myself clear. The version without gapps I kept it for me, I didn't share it. Most people want gapps and there was no reason to upload a version without them. No, I don't think that refresh for GPS and wifi has anything to do with my intervention, it's related to the way the phone enter to sleep and wake up, because is not completely shut down. My guess is that on wake up, not all modules are started properly, and that's the reason a phone restart solve the problem: when Android starts all modules are loaded correctly.
The purpose of Extend2_5GBUserData.zip is, as I said in that post, that people who don't want to install any of my ROM with 2.5GB support, to achieve an extended partition while they keep their ROM: minideal, stock original, or others not shared by me.
I know about that thing with extend to sdcard, but I didn't tried yet, and from what I've seen compiling recovery, for this phone you need to unpack, repack recovery.img and boot.img too, to modify fstab, not only that from etc folder. So, it's a little bit more complicated. Some people made some scripts for that for this kind of phones but for different cpu. I can't help you with this matter, because I'm not interested in it. For me 2.5GB of internal memory is more than enough.
LewaOS v5 is a different framework, more like MIUI, but with different launcher type. I did a debloated version, because LewaOS is mainly for China, and they have a lot of chinese apps. The people that download it they know what is. I used to like it, but now, the ZTE ROM, optimized please me more.
thanks for your help. I am really appreciate this. so if I want to extend my internal storage to 2,5 GB directly to minideal modded rom version I need to flash Extend2_5GBUserData.zip via CWM. right? there is no need to install first your modded version.
how to connect my phone in bootlader mode???
so you propose me to install lite version. I will give a try when my phone come to my hands!!!
one more question maybe not suitable for this thread but I wll ask you. do you know to propose me good screen protectors and slim caces for ZTE V967s? I heard that V987 quad uses the same protectors and caces with V967s. is it true?

Ok.
I don't use any screen protector. The screen is Gorilla Glass and you can't scratch it even if you want. Actually I can't find that info now, I've read that ZTE support answer that to a user. On official description is an IPS screen. But seems to be very hard. I've tested it with door key, really :good:
And the case... Mine came with some sillicone cheep case, I don't like it. I don't know if the case from v987 fits, because I know that v987 is 0.7mm thinner.
so you have this phone and you bought it from minideal.net. right?
you make me happy. but I am not sure for Gorilla Glass. the specifications does not mention that. and Greek guys say that is normal glass not Gorilla. are you sure for that? if you use your nails it will not scratch the screen.
also you have not answered me for Extend2_5GBUserData.zip
can I flash it directly to minideal modded version or is it necessary to flash your rom first?
about a slim case fitted exactly to our phone do you have sth in your mind to buy ?
also how do you find the photo and video quality of the camera?
thanks for all. you are great

Ok, I modified that to official infos, IPS screen. I've read that in an email support answer from ZTE, but I can't find now the source.
About Extended 2.5 GB I already told you two times, you can use it with any ROM, or to be specific: you can flash it on your minideal ROM.
...
The same steps for those who want only to increase userdata partition, without installing any of my ROM. But you have to download Extend2_5GBUserData.zip from attachments....

Damn, I thought my English wasn't that bad... Hm... I wonder, there are out there other people who don't understand me too?
I don't know any case because I don't use one, but I read somewhere, I don't remember where, about a leather case for it. I don't know more.
The camera is average, but I didn't expect much from it, I have a DSLR camera for photos.
Cheers.
sorry my friend. just wanted to be sure !!!! sorry if you repeat some things twice for me.
in what way do u extend the data size up to 2,5 gb ? is it dangerous for the phone or does it has any effect to the performance and speed of the phone?
about the screen I have read in the official specifications that it is IPS and not Gorilla glass.
but first as you said somewhere read that it is Gorilla. and secondly you tried with your nails and key to scratch the screen without damages. if the screnn was just IPS this would never happened. what to say?????
I am a little sad with the picture quality!!! never mind.
thanks

Well, the method for repartitioning is presented here by meteos. You just need to modify in hex editor some values for Extended Boot Records EBR1 and EBR2. It's not dangerous if you don't make mistakes and enter some values that extend userdata more than 2.7 GB, and that wipe some portion of primary partition. In that case you will have a bricked phone and you can repair it, only by reflashing entire ROM in SPFlashTool.
EBR is for logical partition (userdata, phone storage or internal sdcard) and MBR for primary partition (Boot, Recovery, System..).
My archives are safe, and I've tested both myself without any problem. I'm using now a slim ROM with 2.5GB userdata (internal memory).
You're welcome.
thanks for your help.
you are always helpfull.
if you have any news for new scripts which swap the internal memory with our external SD card memory just inform us..
did you try to play heavy games? does the phone play them smoothly?
if you increase the storage to 2,5 gb what do you choose in storage option : auto , sd or internal storage?
a greek friend of me tried your SLIM rom. he said it is very LIGHT and FAST. But he has problem to select GREEK keyboard. he selects greek keyboard but the choice can not be saved. please try to fix this!!!

Ok, sorry for late answer. I was busy to update recovery to 6.0.3.6 version.
Now, I don't have time to play games, I never installed one in my phone, so.. I don't know how they work in it.
The increased storage is for memory (if you install heavy apps which needs a lot of memory, they use that as virtual memory). I select always sdcard in storage options as default.
I don't know why your friend has trouble to set greek keyboard. I selected it, test it, reboot phone - still there. To select: Settings - Language & Input - KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS - Android keyboard settings - select only languages you use and deselect others - go back - Default - select Greek - exit - done.
I know it's light and fast, I wanted to be.

Please Create your FULL backup of your current ROM before FLASHING...
First download this bluetooth.zip file >> https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528067266
then extract in your internal storage of phone. it create "Bluetooth" named folder
First you need to wipe dalvik, cache, boot,system from twrp. (not internal storage)
then flash ported rom
then dont reboot
mount your /system folder
then go to twrp's-advance-filemanager
locate file named CP_bluetooth in /system/app folder
remove that CP_bluetooth
now copy that "Bluetooth" named folder which you have extracted in your internal storage
and paste in /system/app folder
now you can reboot
after reboot you see HTC logo, then HTC ONE logo after some time.

thats why i turned to port rom. i searched on xda about same spec, however i only found htc a9...
Point is to learn and use your own work from what you have learned.. Not to use others instead of learning.. I just gave you the easiest kitchen out there,you built the do called port in a kitchen... If do not understand something while learning... ask... very simple...I gave you the ORIGINAL files and everything needed to make your own "port"...
