Hello friends,
I have a question, is it possible to install more RAM in android phone?
My question is about Snapdragon 865 5G (SM8250) and phone with 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM - so the question is, will that work to install 12 GB LPDDR5 from another SM8250 phone?
I am not asking if it is technically possible, I can reball this components, but should I even try?
Moreover, I am going to install 512 GB Nand to this phone, but how can I flash it after swap? It will be clean memory, is it possible to flash this with new ROM?
Thank you
Please, anyone could help?
IMO you can't just swap over the NAND chips only.
The chips need to be reprogrammed using special software then the phone would need to be restored which would result in data loss.
You could get it working by swapping a number of chips from one board to another, but this is really only feasible for people that are very experienced in board-level repair / microsoldering.

Hi, People,
I am playing with a Zenithink ZT-180 which comes with a 2G NAND and 256M RAM.
Apart from the ROM usage, there is still approximate 1.2G NAND storage available, however, it CAN NOT be used for apps nor as a SD Card, what a waste!!!
I found some threads about apps2ext which sounds like the right approach to take, unfortunately, I can't find any APK or any how-to.
Anyone here can help? Christian Buchner, our HERO ?
Thanks a billion.
Other than apps2sd, nobody wondering how to actually make NAND into use?
Am I asking the irrelevant question? or it's simply useless?
I think its the Phone!
Nobody is interested sry!
If u have S-Off u can resize the partitions to use the 1.2Gb (?) space for apps and data!
A few days ago I got a "new" windows mobile phone in, and I decided that I would cook a rom for it myself to get all the functionality I wanted, but after testing a few of my own and other roms I've got some questions about the different memories of my phone.
- It's a Sony Ericsson Xperia x1i, but I think my questions would also apply to other windows mobile phones.
- I'm cooking and running other peoples windows mobile 6.5.3 roms
- The phone has 512MB of flash and 256MB of RAM built in.
- I'm using Twinge Kitchen 1.10 for cooking the rom and importing cab's of the apps I want to use
I've tried roms of vastly different sizes, but the storage memory always remains the same. My question is, how is the flash memory on a windows mobile device used? I'm assuming the bootloader, radio and some other things might have their own partition, and then a partition for the rom, and one partition is for storage memory. Am I correct?
If I flash my phone to a small rom will the space I save on that be wasted? Is there a way to make the free space available as storage memory?
I've tried putting all the apps I wanted to install into the rom, and that worked fine, but on first boot they installed themselves into the storage memory, so I would have been just as well off by installing them after flashing the rom. Is there a way to add apps to a rom, and have them integrated in it in such a way that they don't require further installing after flashing, just running the apps from the rom like all the regular stuff is. (this is probably done by people who know how to cook roms, but I can't find an explanation on how to do it anywhere)
I would rather cook a minimalistic rom and use the freed up space as storage memory, and then install my apps manually, that way I could uninstall them whenever I wanted. Or would having those apps intergrated into the rom save me more space because they would be compressed?
Either way I would like to know if there was a way to increase the storage space, and make the rom space smaller. I guess I would need a partition manager for windows mobile/CE that can resize without data loss, and resize the rom and storage partition with the phone running, or perhaps on the PC, with the phone connected with the USB cable and running in bootloader mode.
I have another question about RAM, my phone has 256MB RAM, but it shows as about 200MB program memory of which about 50 in use with no apps running. What is the remaining 56MB used for? Is there a way to change this amount?
I have used Windows Mobile for quite a while now, but this is the first time I've tried cooking a rom, or even thought about partitioning the built-in flash, so to the more experience people the awnsers to my questions might be obvious, but to me they are not.
I have thought of one possible way to re-partition the built-in flash, but I don't know if this can be done this way without messing anything up.
I could run Android from the sdcard, and resize the partitions on the phone-flash while in Android, but is there even an app that will let you resize those partitions in Android? Would this work without data loss, or if not would the bootloader be ok so I could flash the rom again in the newly resized partition?
I've had three WinMo 6.x devices (1 GPS and 2 phones) and both were able to have things stored on its flash memory. In fact, isn't that where the "My Documents" folder is?

Yes, but I think you are mis-understanding my questions, I don't want to just store things in it's flash memory, that's no problem. I want to resize the partitions on the flash memory, using less flash for the rom, and more available as storage space.
I have been researching further, but I keep coming up empty. I can't find any android or windows mobile app that'll even let me see the different NAND flash partitions, let alone manipulate them.
I could try and get a linux partition manager to work on android, but the more I think of it, the riskier it seems.
I've also been looking into using MTTY, but I can't find any information on what the commands are, except for tasks 28,29 and 32, and none of those will help me. I don't know if MTTY even has the capabilities to manipulate the partitioning.
Hello everybody, I come from the Xperia arc forums, been on xda for a few months now and to be honest im still kind of a noob even if i learned a little bit about ADB and rom/kernel/mod installing.
A good friend of mine recently decided to switch from an iPhone 4s to a GS2+ but has no clue about root roms ect so he asked me to tweak up his phone and i want to show him the full android potential on samsung's great hardware (without bricking anything hopefully)
I know the "what's the best" discussions are not allowed but since my friend will pass me the phone for no more than a day i dont have all the time to test every rom out there so i want some advice on the following:
What are the most stable and successful roms for GS2+? What great features do they have?
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
I was planning on partitioning the internal memory and add a 512mb swap partition, i wanna avoid swapping sdcard cause of lower speeds and sd lifetime issues. is it reccomended to swap internal memory?
is there anything in particular about this model that i should keep in mind to avoid bricking this phone?
are most of the internal partitions EXT4 or do i need to convert them in order to increase performance?
Any other advices? i've already flashed with a Note and a Galaxy ACEi but im new to this phone.
Any quick help would be greatly appreciated, he's gonna gimme his phone in a couple of days...

You can check here. Babba ROM and Pandamonium ROM are recommended if you want something stable though not as perfect. I haven't try out Babba ROM and I can't make a comparison. Do check them out.
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
I have not tested the kernels, but you can check here and see the review.
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
No.

Can't speak for this one.

I guess no, I rooted and installed custom ROM by following the guidelines and everything is ok.

Best stable ROM is latest official with k2wl kernel (and don't forget to remove unnecessary apks)
What are the most successfull and most of all SAFE kernel for GS2+?
k2wl
Are GS2 roms compatible on GS2+?
Absolutely NO

Forget this old method dude. 4Gb of internal space is more than you need for your apks
is there anything in particular about this model that i should keep in mind to avoid bricking this phone?
This model is a rock. the only method for bricked it is... i don't know any method (with odin you can always survive you phone)

Forget old methods and open your mind

New to android and rooted my phone first time through this forum's guide. I wanted to install apps on SD so as App to Mgr failed I went ahead with Link 2 SD and partitioned my SD card. But i created a partition system of EXT2. Does that matter?
Can someone help me how to increase the ram of my phone, which hangs a lot and is frustrating to use. I finished rooting my phone, but when I was trying to expand ram using roehsoft ram expander, it said the device has a swap incompatible kernel. I need a custom kernel for my phone and how to install kernel on my phone, and if possible, a custom ROM. The main thing is to increase the ram of my device. Kindly provide a solution for this.
Being my first post on this huge place, I wanna thank all of the people that stands here and provide help support and wisdom for all of us who are new on the site, AND in the scene.
That said, my need:
I have a Tablet PC running 4.4.4 kitkat android device, with 312x rockchip processor, 1 gb ram, 8 gb rom, usb and micro usb, mini hdmi, bluetooth and wifi connectivity. I wanted to change the internal storage capacity, since like all chinese tablets, haas a 1 gb (0.98 gb to be precisely) and 6 gb of nand storage (5,28 aprox, i cant remember now, you will see next why). I wanted to change the parameter file so i can gain more space on the main storage (where apps are installed, as you may know), but there was no change. Suddenly, after a few tries, when it finished the booting process, now running the kitkat, in settings appear that the nand storage cannot mount, and every time i try to do it, it fails as it says "the nand storage can be safely removed". Now then, i have a 0.98 storage in the system, but no nand storage, so i cannot install nothing to the nand storage. I installed TWRP generic rom but for recovery only, and it works, but since the nand seems to be corrupted, i cannot modify at all nothing.
To modify the parameter file i dumped the entire rom of every single part of the tablet: system, kernel, cache, etc. With parameter file in hand, i used an hex calculator to modify values and gain the storage i needed (3 gb in internal, whatever it left to the nand storage) but nothing happened. Could the nand be corrupted? i still have the roms and the parameter as it was installed, tried to reinstall via batchtool 1.37 but there was no change.
Any help will be welcome and support will be thankful.
Thank you for reading this.
