Which Linux/Android distributions are supported in Partition Manager?
For L4T Linux you can use the official Ubuntu Bionic 3.4.0 and newer or any other distro betas.
For android you can get Android 10. -
I don't care about emuMMC/Linux/Android. Can the Part manager be used for something else?
Yes. You can still reformat your SD card to a single FAT32 partition.
You can even use it when you have exFAT and you want to format to FAT32.
It is also suggested to format your sd card via hekate. That's because it prepares it for performance. something that many partitioning tools neglect.
Notes
Check readme.md for more.
NOTE:
For maximum performance of UMS in Windows, you need to run nyx_usb_max_rate__run_only_once_per_windows_pc.reg, only once per PC you have.
It only affects hekate's usb device. You can also view that file with text editor and see what it does. Linux/Mac OS users do not need that.
How to update:
- Drag n drop
bootloaderfolder into sd card root and hit merge/replace.
No need to delete that folder first, especially if you want your configs and payloads. - You can choose to update your RCM injection device or PC with the new
hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.binor not.
In any case,bootloader/update.bin, will be checked and if newer it will get loaded.
update.binis hekate and it is already copied with thebootloaderfolder drag n drop update process.
Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug anymore. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.
