Zaurus - pdaXrom / New pdaXrom installer (to have just Root partition)
« on: April 15, 2004, 03:15:44 pm »
Hi everybody!!
At last! And seems to work!...
I\'ve written a modification of pdaxrom installer which allows to easily resize nand to have JUST THE ROOT PARTITION, WITH NO HOME.
No fragmentation. Full space to install everything you what (100 MB free after install rom on a Cx60!!). Of course, /home now is on Root partition.
This is mainly thanks to ikm, who is the author of the trick.
It has been designed to be very careful before patching your Nand, but you must consider this as a beta version. Please backup your data before doing anything (maintenance menu backup is recommended). Also, for the moment, it was just tested with my 760. Take even more cares if you have another model.
You can find it in http://ciberia.ya.com/ashley_s/
Contents of new.tar:
- updater.sh: to substitute pdaxrom updater.sh
- updater.decoded: decoded version of the last
- updater.decoded.cacko: decoded version of pdaxrom updater.sh
- mtdtweak & mtdparts: you must put these together with updater.sh and tools.tar and initrd.bin from pdaXrom
- encdesc: utility to encode and decode updater.sh files
Please try it with care and tell me bugs and succeeds in this topic :wink:
