4llerbuntu:

i can't get my MIUI port to stop crashing yet. boots fine. but the graphical glitches are problematic.

i also cannot patch the framework.jar since the one in the stock ROm is 16Kb and contains nothing really.

i haven't found a MIUI device with this processor and specs that i can port. i cannot build a ROM since there is no sources


bottomline, don't hold your breath.

Maybe i'll try LEWA OS if i can find a similar device

dazekid: I'm 100..LOL..Just came here to see what 4llerbuntu said..Turned out to be nothing..

i have tried this, and it worked.

i did it because i need a larger /system /data partitions for my experiments with other OS. and i don't mind losing the internal SD card space.
and i also hate the running out of data storage error common to crappy chinese software builds (cure to this is to remove the MTK logger apps and deodex your ROM btw)


[size=20pt]How to modify your EBR and change your partitions for MTK6582. (NOT FOR NOOBS)[/size]

CREDITS to "Burs" of ChinaPhoneArena

Needed:

1. Ebr Tool from http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/92041031/file.html

3. Ebr 1 and Ebr 2 from your stock Rom. if u have a dump of your rom, u can also get it from there.




NOTE: This a clean slate hack. you will lose everything on the phone.

make backups of apps and app data via tool like titanium backup and copy onto your PC or external sdcard and remove that from the computer.

take a CWM backup and also copy that on your pc. (THIS IS NOT LIKELY TO BE USEFUL IN THE LONG RUN).



So unrar EBR tweak tool into a folder.

copy the Ebr 1 and Ebr 2 files from your stock Rom dump in the same folder.

run the tweak tool.

choose the size u want for your /data partition.

tool will mod the Ebr files and make backups of the original ones in that same folder with .bak extension


now copy the modded Ebr 1 and 2 back into your Stock rom folder(replace the stock ones with the modded ones.

use SPFT to flash the stock rom. (choose the format and download option)

flash and profit.



after reboot you can then setup your rom, root, install titanium or whatever software u used and restore your apps/app data.



If you earlier changed your IMEI, you will need to do it again.

at your own risk without any further advice or help from me, this could possibly work for other mediatek devices



YOU COULD EASILY JUST MOD AND FLASH JUST THE EBR FILES IN YOUR PRESENT SETUP, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE POSSIBLE EFFECT IT COULD HAVE ON THE DEVICE SINCE WE ARE MESSING WITH PARTITIONS, SO I'D JUST START AFRESH.

4llerbuntu:

what? u mean my 'yo' post?


naah, i deleted what was there. decided it was too risky a mod to be sharing with folks who prolly need their device for things other than experiments

msgill:
Hi to all from this part of planet Lahore, Pak. It is my first post. I picked Numy 3G sword tab recently. Since a week i have not been able to detect its rom (internal memory) with windows xp spiii. My data cable is in perfect condition. I have little literacy of software. I will appreciate if helped in this direction. If this question already asked will regret.
