Need Help upgrading to 64gb and 4gb RAM - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 5 has always full Storage and it p****s me off. I searched for Storage Upgrade posibilities and found a thread from a dude upgrading his storage to 64gb. So i decided to try that too with an spare nexus 5. I also found a post about nexus 5x users upgrading their ram to 4gb. So I researched and found out that the Nexus 5 uses the "H9CKNNNBPTMRLR-NTM" RAM-Chip.
It says that it has 216-ball fbga socket and i searched for similar chips with 216-ball socket with more capacity. Since the snapdragon 800 is a 32-bit chip it'll "only" support 4gb ram (I suggest). I found the "H9CKNNNBPTATDR" and need to know if it has the same pinout as the "H9CKNNNBPTMRLR-NTM".
I cant find enough information about the chips and contacting the Manufacturer doesn't work for me (cant register somehow). Maybe one of you is a dev in a company, which can get into contact with the chip manufacturer. Or you are just better st finding datasheets than me
Hope you can help me

[Q] Does the Samsung Taylor have an AMOLED screen? Specs?

I've been reading on the internet that the Samsung Taylor was going to have an AMOLED screen but no one every gave specifics on RAM or the type of LCD. Anyone have some detailed specs? 256MB RAM or 512MB? I looked around the net and couldn't find a reliable answer.
Thanks guys.
No, it doesn't (regular LCD). And memory is 256 Mb because it's not retail device. Also no EMMC/internal flash, micro SD only (cards class 6 works perfect but still significant slower than regular EMMC on Focus for example).
I just bought one right before I saw your post. Thanks sensboston. We should collaborate on a wikipedia page for the device. I couldn't find anything short of rumors about the "new Samsung windows phone" and just a bunch of junk media from before WP7 came out. I take it you own one? Also didn't the venue pro have 256 MB RAM?
Sams Taylor is very old phone (one of the first WP7 models), built just for developers only. Also, MS/Samsung drop support for these handsets (so mine is get stock on 7003 - no chance to upgrade to Mango). I don't think it needs a wiki page.
I have no idea about Venue Pro memory size.
So there is no way to update our Taylors to 7004? Even if I was able to find a Taylor with update 7004 on it and dump the ROM, etc?

Any experience with Chinese octacore phones?

I'm hunting for a six-inch phablet at an affordable price, and I came across the THL T200/T200C (I think the only difference between them is the internal storage). It's an octacore with 2 gigs of RAM running Android 4.2 on a MTK6592W chip. DX have it for $270 shipped, approximately the equivalent of 200 euro, when the cheapest branded phablet I can find that's actually worth buying is the Huawei Mate, and that costs sixty euro more and has significantly lower-specced hardware.
I'm aware of the risks of buying off-brand phones, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try to reduce them however possible, so I'm looking for anyone with experience with the T200whatever or in general other octacore phones (which all seem off-brand so far; I can't see any branded ones on sale).
Are octacore processors actually faster? By which I mean, do the OS and apps know what to do with the additional four cores, or is it one of those features added just to increase a number?
If you have one or have used such a phone, can you share your general opinion?
Well, the thing with chinese Androids...
I'd say go for it, just root it and make a full backup as soon as you get it. The reason is because a lot of chinese phones/tablets have a nasty habit of falling into a bootloop for no reason. I've had it happen for several times. This way if you get into a bootloop you can boot into recovery, and restore your recovery. I recommend this for all Androids anyway, but especially for Chinese stuff.
I'd also recommend getting a SanDisk class 10 (or better, like UHS-1) micro SD card and following some generic android guides to swap the internal memory with your SanDisk SD card. So you can buy San Disk's 64GB UHS-1 Micro SD card for 60 bucks from BestBuy (Or even better, their 128GB UHS-1 Micro sd card from Amazon for 119 dollars, and yeah that's SanDisk selling it not a third-party.) This way you have ridiculous internal storage for a ridiculous price (in a different sense of the word "ridiculous").
I don't have any experience with octacore phones/tablets, but as far as I understand the architecture is like this.
2.4ghz dual core = 2.4ghz x 2
so I imagine it would be the same with eight cores.
2.4ghz octacore = 2.4ghz x 8
whether or not Android knows what to do with all that power is beyond me.
Please us the stickies at the top of the forum for this type of discussion

Does anyone know where to buy an ASUS FonePad 8 16GB ROM & 2GB RAM?

I'm a contract IT worker and I carry a lot of things around, so combining my tablet and phone into one would be great. I currently use another 8" Tab and an LG G2 (along with my laptop, and other cables and external adapters for hard drives, etc) but I'd obviously like to consolidate both to the FonePad 8. However, I'm having a very hard time trying to locate the variation that has 2GB of RAM and was wondering if someone knew of a store that sold them either in the U.S. or directly out of Taiwan. I see a lot of 8GB ROM 1GB RAM versions on ebay, but that's it. My wife has the Lenovo S8-50 2GB RAM with similar specs to the Fonepad 8 and it runs fantastically with the BayTrail Atom. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] Is there a prefered good chainese tablet ?

Hi, first .Please forgive my poor english. I will do my best to explain my problem.
In my long searches on the net for a good decent price chinese tablet to use on my laptop side, I noticed that there is always something missing : If the ram is enough than it can not adress more than 16GB or 32GB, if it can, than there is no GPS, if there is, than the camera is crap and if it has more than three of the above it can cost a fortune. and I can go on for ever.
I am looking for good tablet that can act as a laptop Substitute\fill in, that has : 2GB ram preferably more on the 3GB or 4GB direction, can adress at least 64GB or 128GB memory card, and\or an external hard drive, 9.7 -10.5 inch screen size, all the usual input out ports : USB 3, hdmi, ext, BT ,wifi, 3g, if there can be dual boot OK, quad or octa core cpu, can be software upgradable (yes, this is an issue with some devices).
didnt find anything that came even close. and I am willing to spend around $480
Perhaps I daemand to much, and there is no device that can do most of what I want ?
I would very much appreciate any answer that can direct my in the right direction.
Thank you.

Nexus 5 128GB eMMC chip replacement

I was curious if it were possible to replace the stock eMMC in my 32GB Nexus 5 with a 128GB chip. I have seen that it is possible to replace the chip (like 16GB to 64GB) and am wondering the possibility of finding a compatible 128GB chip. doing searching around, I am finding a few sites that offer chips for Galaxy devices, though I'm unsure if something like that would fit! Any input appreciated
I'm 99% sure its NOT possible. Even stock Sandisk 16/32 and supposedly successfull 64GB transplant have different pinout/cmds etc.
It's not really because of the size - Some phones like iPhone you can switch 16 and 64GB eMMC. But the chips need to have same pinout and same eMMC version... and typically newer 128/256 only use the newest version of e.MMC - usually 5.1
