Is the rom size of xda2 64mb and ram of 128mb?
My device information/hardware shows 128mb of ram and ony 32mb of flah size.
Why is that happen? I thought is a 64 rom machine...
thanks

Correct me if I am wrong but XDA II is supposed to have 64 MB of ROM, right?
However, my problem is when I go to Settings -> Device Information -> Hardware, I get a Flash size of 32 MB.
CPU: Intel(R) PXA263
Speed: 400 MHz
RAM size: 128 MB
Flash size: 32 MB
So is my device lacking the supposedly 64 MB of ROM? Or am I interpreting the information wrong?
why does it matter ?
roms have to be 100% made for a device and htc would never make a rom which dident fit
and you cant do anything with more then the 5MB you can access in the extented rom

That is true, but am I lacking the supposedly 64 MB of ROM? Because my Device Information only shows 32 MB of ROM.
mine say that too
if your ram was smaller then it needed to be then
the xda2 rom would never have been able to fit in it
Hi , i just got a new XDA IIi , but it has only 64MB Flash size, the new one was supoused to have 128MB flash ,I saw it on the O 2 web site, then why my device is only showing half of it?
Woud this slow down my device, is there any way to fix this??
Help me please i am very confused
sincerely:
Jorge
Xda IIi
There is nothing to fix Bro. Please refer to screenshot.
The Xda series have always needed tweaking and modifying so the performance and stability depends on the owners' effort.
It sucks but hey, we are still buying them anyway.
i mentioned this in another thread, but does it make sense that because it says there is 59.68MB free in the flash storage, the rest of the rom is stored in the other 70MB odd that is missing to make up the 128mb? i would assume the whole rom installed saved in just 6mb to make up 64mb if you get what i mean?
eg
the total flash size is 128 mb or 64mb
the available flash space (storage) is 59.68mb
this leaves about 70mb (128 - 59.68) for the rom if the total flash size is 128,
or leaves about 5mb (64 - 59.68) for the rom if the total flash size is 64mb.
and i just cant imagine the whole rom fitting on to only 5mb..
i jsut checked my friend's mini, which definitely has 64mb of flash, and his storage free is only 7mb, so his rom is about 57mb, which confirms my theory (assuming i'm right about rom and storage size adding up to give the total flash memory size)
Dear All
Please excuse me if my questions look silly:
I bouth a Wizard and read it has 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM total 192MB
The manual also confirmed this.
At startup, evening after hard reset and pressing soft reset within 3 secs, I have:
Storage 47MB Program: 44 MB
Total 91 MB
Where are the remaining 100 MB?
Thanks

128MB of TOTAL ROM = 64MB for OS/ROM (not available for user) + 64MB for file storage that is available for user
64MB of RAM = Used like RAM on a PC, Windows Mobile has to load itself into RAM in order to run so that's why you'll never have 64MB free.
In any case, what you are seeing is correct
Thanks a lot
Is there any way to oncrease the total availble memory?
There are several programs I never used, in the original package, such as
- file explorer
- pictures and video
- modem links
- sim manager
- terminal services
- power point mobile
- zip
- power excel
I would love to re-install a streamline version of the OS and have back 110 or 120 MB free usable memory!
Thanks
Saulo
nope, there's no way at this moment

So does this imply that little is gained by installing to the external storage card? I've seen both opinions on this.
if i use a memory card to store my songs and videos etc can i use botht the storage memory and program memory for the device itself. e.g. ringtones that have to be placed in the windows/rings folder and alarm and message tones which have to be in the /windows/ folder?
Dear All
Does anyone know how to free more memory?
Is there some special page on wiki (I cannot find) that explain how to tweak?
Or alternatively, is there a way to increase internal memory to 256MB.
At the moment, since most of my apps does not work on mini-SD, I need to increase internal memory
Thanks and waiting for any suggestions

For my prophet, in memory, the total memory only 96.XXMB(including program & storage). Then, including there are 5XMB ROM installed in machine and about 10MB ext-rom. there are only about 150MB...How come 190MB(128+64MB)???
What does ROM and RAM means related to the HTC TyTn ?
HTC TyTn ROM = 128 MB
HTC TyTn RAM = 64 MB
When you install application to the "Storage Memory", where will it be installed ? in the RAM ?
What are installed in the ROM ?
Where the default application from the provider (e.g. T-Mobile) are installed ?
Thanks!

The 128 MB of Flash ROM is broken into two parts:
- 64 MB for "Storage" (think hard disk space)
- 64 MB for "Program" execution (also called "RAM")
Programs reside in storage until they are activated (at which point they are also loaded into RAM). The amount of RAM you have available is what's left after loading the OS.
The carrier apps are also stored in ROM/RAM.
RAM is used to run applications. Its content gets lost on power off.
ROM (Flash RAM indeed) is used to store firmware, to install user applications and to keep data. Its content is kept even without power. "Extended ROM" is also a part of 128MB "ROM".
As I understand, HTC TyTN has NAND flash, and so no XIP and PagePool consumes a lot of RAM, though making things to run faster.
A good reading for beginners is here and here.
I don't like the tendency to call flash memory that is writeable as "ROM" (=Read-Only Memory). IMHO it provides a lot of confusions.
Very good explanation Lurker0, and both articles are worth reading for anyone!
