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...
Yes, I am more into H/W than S/W

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

( 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
Now, when it is possible to flash a custom ROM, but there is no a working tool to add a file to a ROM image, I'd ask people who are involved into ROM cooking to find a way to change page pool and flash partitioning. I believe these two things alone could be quite useful being applied to existing ROMs from manufacturer and operators.
I see the former is possible to (some?) ROMs for other devices. Trade performance for free RAM available or vice versa - isn't a good opportunity?
The latter means to re-distribute the user accessible flash storage between the main file system and the extended ROM. Of course, the primary intention is to add the space wasted by ExtROM to the user accessible pool
The latter also should reduce the number of people crying for unlocking the ExtROM on the latest ROMs and worrying about the warranty lost by Super CIDing at the same time...
Guys, first i need say, that english not is my native language, i from brazil ( no necessary )
I know this forum, that i found all i want here,
sorry if this topic not correctly of my question,

( sorry 4 my bad english )
Already Thanks to all
Well, I write this with the faith that someone can help me. Try to change the ROM of a Chinese cell (this model is supposed to be ALPS K10, but since check the computer and opening applications, I realized that this might not be the model name, Besides, it is supposed to be a clone of the last LG K10). Try changing the rom as they passed many things
- Said he was 8 gb storage, when he was only 4 gb (same for the ram, said it was 1 gb, when only has 512 mb)
- When installed a .obb apk data (cache), ie a pirated app of the many pages that are on the network, moving his data to the "Memory", and installed the apk, the question was that when starting the game and in spite of having the data obb in the folder, the game would not start, but if you disabled external sd (where by the way, when you install the apk this created a folder for meta data there, when the he had internal memory) started the game normal, the same as the file was in obb
- There was no way multitasking use (it awarded 512 of ram and software)
- Mentioning again giving false data (internal storage, ram, etc, which awarded the modified software or something more)
Well, the point I want to make is that because of all these problems decides to flash the rom a very similar device (I mean also that I could not make a backup of the rom because even though I had all the drivers, tools and other the mtkdroid application tools I would not allow it, and neither could I make a copy of the IMEI that like applications pc applications android (mobileuncle for example) I permitted (device not compatible. Download the rom BLU NEO X, who was one of the many devices SoC MT6580 and 512 of ram (at least that's what I saw), and try to install with SP flashtool, flashing came out successful, but when I followed the footsteps of another forum, saying he should disconnect after it leaves the window "success", the phone no longer worked.
If anyone can help me giving me ideas where else can I find the stock rom of that device, or if there is any way to revive the less in recovery to try to do something, please do so; It is that it is forbidden rom's asking in this forum, but after searching for several days, you can say I'm already losing hope
Deputy something more for direct purposes if anyone knows, incidentally, how to solve this error, because the pc if it recognizes the COM port to connect the mobile bricked, so, I guess there must be some way to fix it:
BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0XFC0)
EMI: Enable DRAM Failed!
HINT: Please check your load to your target matches Which is to be downloaded
Sorry for the faults that can be found in this text, but I used google translator to write because my English is not very good, even so, I wish you can help me
thanks, and help me!
