I have a silver, curved and amoled N950 with half ram. Used to have 512mb swap and worked fine. (Slightly lag at around 5 apps) Now I'm trying to swap 1GB.

Also, I'd say you are already doing that. You demonstrated that you neither have software or hardware knowledge required to operate and hack these phones. Come on, you don't even know the most basic Linux commands, and you can't locate the RAM chip on the PCB.

Don't be bad please.

I have confirmed by engineer that replacing EMMC chip would be possible /technically/ without any damage done. if those chips are the same from below, can be replaced.

You'll also be able to sell those N900's easily if you do it.

I must agree. Espiecially that it would awesome to have an n900 with 1gb of ram. I might even think about buying such device. Really, it's not point in modifying these protos. They are worth much more untouched. If you're a collector, keep them. If you want to destroy them or do anything to them, sell them. Seriously, don't do anything to them.

Well yeah if chips are compatible. But they have more than 20 soldered connections you would need to heat them up all at the same time in order to remove the chip.

n950 don't take this to the heart I know people aren't being very supportive of you, but they don't want to you break your two really great devices.

When such chips are soldered they use xray to align the pins on more complex chips

If you still plan to go through with it I wish you best of luck and I really hope you succeed

Holy ****. This is a sure way to ruin two $1000 devices.

Without very, very expensive soldering stations, with a very careful operator doing the replacement, you'll almost certainly wreck it.

The RAM is literally on top of the CPU, the pins of which are incredibly tiny. You will not get the solder balls on them without the right mask.

Also, cleaning the CPU's POP contacts would be an almighty b***h.

I will not do the work.
A company do the work for me.
I am not mad

company, yes. but how they'll have that soldering mask for balls? mass storage should not be much problem, when someone experienced and careful take care. but RAM? no way!
