Maximum stuff is included in it if it's not repartitioned. Most CFWs would be repartitioned. Repartitioning gives us more space to put in our stuff in the section of the firmware we can easily modify. PPM - It consists of the ROFS files. They are the ones that can be modified without causing much damage to the phone. APE - It is the …
