[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
All MT6577 android phones are 'STILL' plagued by low internal memory issue...

Credits to X-Dron from russia, now you'll have 2GB of internal storage instead of 512MB with this mod ! :good:

I've included a google direct translated version for the help file, some sentence doesn't make sense but i'm sure you'll figure it out on how to use it...

X-Dron claim his mod is universal & it can be use on all MT6577... :good:

You can follow the original thread here...

- SdCard Swap

What the f... , :D you have use up your 2GB Internal Memory & you can't install any more apps...

Credits to EMF, he found this hack & it is working well on my MT6577... :good:

Originally, this hack by 神族-bpok which install .smssecurity to app folder which is meant for V970 so attach copy here, i've deleted it so that it can be use on any MT6577 via cwmr... :D

Having said that, it is best that you copy your original vold.fstab before installing this hack so that, if anything were to go wrong, you can still revert it back to original state... :p Just open revert2ori.zip with 7zip but don't extract it, drag & drop your original vold.fstab into it & flash via cwmr... :good:

What this hack did is that it swap the mount points at vold.fstab...

Original

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard[COLOR="blue"]2[/COLOR] auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

Hack

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard[COLOR="blue"]2[/COLOR] emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

It is also possible to manual edit vold.fstab as confirmed working by other thread...if it doesn't then power off, take out the battery, wait few sec then put it back & reboot...

If it still doesn't work, you can try manual edit & add 2 to vold.fstab.nand

Original

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

Hack

dev_mount sdcard[COLOR="Blue"]2[/COLOR] /mnt/sdcard[COLOR="Blue"][B]2[/B][/COLOR] auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

Some report that this works well with 32GB SdCard too ! But make sure to use minimum Class 4 & above... :D

Bravo to the original developer/ hacker...

How to use your 64GB Micro SDXC for Android-powered smartphone that supports only up to 32GB

Found an interesting article here but i haven't try it b'cos i don't have a 64GB Micro SDXC... :D

Its in Russian so use Google Chrome built-in translations, it makes more sense... :laugh:

Its for people who already had a 64GB SDXC to try out, anyone care enough to report back whether it works... :fingers-crossed:

MT6589 MBR, EBR1, EBR2 explained

MT6589 MBR, EBR1, EBR2 are the least explained thanks to Master Shifu nightcraw for the detail explanations, i'm a complete zero when it comes to Hex calculations...

Original idea by JohnnyInBriz i've requested Master Shifu nightcraw to edit it so here it is, all formula already setup so you can resize cache, android system, usrdata, fat & it will let you know what to edit to the MBR & EBR....

Hopefully it will be useful to those DYI'er who wants to resize partition themselves & mod at your own risk... :laugh:

MoreApp.apk

This mod was shared at another forum but under constant spamming...

Not to waste a good mod by Master Shifu Michfood here is the link... :good:

WARNING : Make a backup first. This mod will shift all apps to sdcard ./android_secure & therefore freeing all internal space & CWMR/ TWRP does backup it too... :cowboy:
