Has anybody done any serious upgrading to get more internal memory in Wallaby?
Looking at the System properties I would think that there is just a std. 32MB Intel StrataFlash (likely J3). I know that there are 64MB versions - and since StrataFlash is available only upto 32 MB - there must be extra footprint for another flash.
Say that it is NOT in BGA package, I would solder extra 32MB flash in there.
Also, more SDRAM would be good if it is possible upgrade.
If somebody has an insight, please advise - perhaps less smoke comes out of this thingie...

flash is where the rom is put
a rom have to be made spc to a device to work
so if you device is made for 32mb rom then
there would be no 64mb rom for it
you cant change rom from one type of device to
another
here are some threads about upgrading ram

hi... im new to the XDAII.. but what a great machine...
looking at all the info on this device, the manual, product packaging, and the O2 website it says it has 128MB RAM and 64MB ROM...
but when in device information/harware its says RAM size = 128MB, Flash size = 32MB
should it read 64MB flash size to indiacte the 64MB ROM as the literature says or is it assigned and indicated differently..
cheers

The other 32 MB...
The other 32 MB are in a 'disk-on-chip' module. Half of it is already accessible as "\Storage", the other half becomes acessible as "\Extended_ROM" once you play with the registry a bit. It holds CAB files which are executed after a cold boot.

thanks
thanks for the help....

is there any good version of WM 2005? i mean it will not only detect 30MB ram but 125MB ram....... can give me the link? what is the difference between the WM 2003se 2.20.00 and 2.20.07??
Ive said this before, please read it..
WM2005 doesnt detect 30 or 32meg ram, it detects all 128meg of it. It just doesnt use it. at all. Not a bit. Nothing. Nadda.
The missing ram is not a bug, its not a problem its a DESIGN FEATURE of wm2005.
WM2005 uses ENTIRELY FLASH. this is to prevent data loss in the event of battery failure. New wm2005 devices will have much larger flash storage so this isnt going to be a problem.
The fact that the memory program shows the flash being used for running program memory as well as storage says that wm2005 DOES NOT use ram for programs at all. I expect ms will drop ram from the future spec for devices in order to lower chip count and simplify designs.
The 32meg OS memory holds the windows ROM, its write protected. no way to edit it live.
the 32meg DiskOnChip holds the Storage and Extrom, these are partitione d in some way to 2 roughly 16meg sections.
WM uses the storage partition for storage, Duh. It maps it over the windows directory and all file changes and additions are put in there.
the ExtRom directory is used for running program memory. It kills the extrom.
Remember that due to the way MS cant count, differences in the way they measure Bytes, kilibytes etc (1000 or 1024 people?) and filesystem overhead the numbers wont add up exactly at the end. But trust me, unless anyone can PROVE me wrong, this is what happens.
It may be possible to make use of the ram as a storage disk, but a custom ramdisk program would have to be written.
??
oh ya hw about WM 2003 SE version 2.20.07? is it translated version? is the fonts like very rough?? the WM 2005 safe to use?
( Sorry for my english, i'm french)
I would like to thank all those which take part to make live this forum.
But I am lost a little.
I read the pages of the forum for a long time but I still put myself questions.
I just have upgrade my Himalaya to WM5 1.60cWWE.
I would like to know if it is the last version at present.
What are all the stages has to follow to benefit the maximum of the memory of my Himalaya with WM5?
My Device informations:
- RAM size 128 MB
- Flash size 32 MB
- Storage size 95.59 MB
I saw that certain people have a directory named Storage + a directory named Ramdisk. Why?
Can we install programs in Storage and Ramdisk?
I know that certain these question were already put but I want to be sure.
Thanks
Well,
I am using a Micromax A70, which according to a video found in Youtube
is BYD W601T, which is also used by chinese company U9mobiles as S320.
According to BYD, the phone has 512mb RAM, and also on U9mobile site (the forum was totally chinese and took a lot of time to translate), the RAM is stated as 512mb. But to me, the phone only shows 256mb.
My question is, whether I have to enable the setting CONFIG_HIGHMEM in the kernel config inorder to use RAM completely (if it has 512mb ram). I found the setting not set in the config.
Or, is the setting irrelevant when it comes to the 2.6.32 kernel and 512mb ram?
If I have to enable the setting, is there a need to recompile the kernel, or can I just replace the config.gz file with a new one?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have buyed since 1 year ago a Huawei G740. Due i think to less owners, there is no custom ROM like cyanogen. Ok for me.
BUT this phone is selled with a stupid internal repartition: 7GB for user and 1GB for applications.
I dont want to use link2SD or other solutions, because i want my phone to be usable without SD card.
I think i understood that it's not like a classical OS (Linux distribution, windows...) and you cant simply resize the partition with tools like Gparted. Right?
You need to adapt your own ROM to set inside the partitions size (with address and offset?) Right?
A new update (this summer) has been released, so i wanted to do it myself and just adapt this .bin to set new partitions size.
do i be in the true way?
I found some explanation on the forum to make a lot of modification in a rom extracted from the phone but nobody speak about size of partitions except for specific phones (not mine) and nothing generic.
Can you please give me links to learn how to modify partitions size of a ROM?
Processor is : Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400 Dual-core 1.2GHz, android version is 4.1.2 (dont know is it matter)
Thank you for answers
Yann.
