well if you have root, busybox, and adb you can use terminal commands on
any partition you want. In addition i think clockwork recovery has some
partitioning tools also.

there is also android partition manager looks like you can push images with
it. and Diskinfo looks useful for gathering information. I dont really see
any one app to rule them all, most of the real work is still done via
ADB/Fastboot.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
