I'm trying to find out on average how much space is actually used on cache. Not much since it looks like it gets wiped often. So 32mb is enough to have a good androidupdate.tgz incase we wanna update from nand itself. Let see what lmiller has to say ..
Also this link was helpful. Im taking appart all these images and stealing what we can.

They talk about recovery images and root boot. i already took appart some and they are interesting. Lots to learn
Edit: ok tore appart the whole recovery and we can definitely used some of these tools. Unfortunately i did find this..
Code:
device mtd@misc 0460 radio diag
This is from the modaco recovery and cotulla mentioned the CWM recovery may use it as well. Just that no one know whats it used for. Some poople say you can do without it, but i guess only testing will show. I'm not sure if our radio needs access to it? so this may require research. |
From what I've been reading, you are able to flash different radios/modems from CWM, but it seems when people make their own custom partition layouts, most of them say NOT to flash radio's from it. Read through a ton of different dev threads at XDA, and that seems to be the common consensus.
I doubt the radio needs access since other devices like the vogue work and don't have it, but if it is in AOSP to cache some info about the radio into that partition, we can always create it later on
Also, I updated the partition layout for LMiller's spreadsheet. I just took 8 MB from data and moved it into recovery. I want to keep my cache at 64 MB until I can get a feel for the average size it gets up to. I've seen reports on native android phones that when people made it small like 24 MB, they were experiencing slowdowns because of the paging.
