Taken from the Mini Rom: a RamDisk driver
Attached are a cab which one can install at it's own risk (worked on my custom rom w/o any problems) and a zip, that contains the driver (to be installed in the windows directory) and a registry file.
The RamDisk size is setted default to 8Mb. I turned off the default hidden status so that it can be seen in a file explorer.
Mainly for cooks and users to experiment with.
Here are the (default) registry settings to play with:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\RamDisk\FATFS]
"Flags"=dword:4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RamDisk]
"Dll"="htcramdisk.dll"
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"FriendlyName"="Windows HTC Ramdisk Driver"
"IClass"="{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Profile"="RamDisk"
"Size"=dword:800000 ;Default 8MB. MUST be larger than 2MB to reserve space from share memory
"index"=dword:9
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\RamDisk]
"Folder"="wramdisk"
"AutoPart"=dword:1
"AutoFormat"=dword:1
"Name"="RAM Disk"
"MountHidden"=dword:0 ; edit: is default setted to 0 on the HD Mini
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\\wramdisk\\IE\\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\\wramdisk\\IE\\Cookies"
"History"="\\wramdisk\\IE\\History"
The size of the ramdisk is specified in bytes. The amount of bytes can be calculated here
Some standard sizes:
Code:
10Mb 10485760 (dec) A00000 (hex)
15Mb 15728640 (dec) F00000 (hex)
20Mb 20971520 (dec) 1400000 (hex)
30Mb 31457280 (dec) 1E00000 (hex)
There seems to be a upperlimit on the size. As of now I wasn't able to create a ramdisk with a size larger than 30 Mb
(Be careful though with the settings of the size of the ramdisk. If the amount is too large the device doesn't boot up anymore. In that case one has to do a hard reset. Someway the amount specified isn't totally ignored! Although practically it is not possible to get a size greater than 30Mb. Don't know which constraints are limiting the size)
----
BTW tested the ramdisk on a 23108 WM build, don't know if it works on other builds (I assume it does)
For for my noob question. What is this for? HD2 ram size is quite big to begin with. So it doesn't really make sense if it a ram management program.
Opera Cache on RamDisk
Here is the first possible use of this new RamDisk:
Setting of the Cache directory of Opera to \wramdisk\OperaCache
(one can use the attached cab or do it oneself, see tboy2000s hints and tips thread for instructions)
This speeds up the perfomance of Opera.

The Ramdisk is "resides" in the program memory which is faster than the storage memory. One can use this ram memory for, for example caching. (see my previous post)
I think that with this RamDisk there is an opportunity to make the newly disclosed 576 Mb program memory finally useful.
interesting... so I'd have to set the cache of programs that use a lot of space (HTCAlbum and Facebook for example) to use this RAMDisk? If so, how do we set the options for it...

I'm looking into this right now. Mainly, I'm interested in moving the musiclibrary index file to the ramdisk. Not for the size but for the speed.
Anyway, good suggestion to use the extra program memory to release some storage memory space.
(EDIT: if you find something useful, please report back in this thread

Amazing find! I don't use the default music player as I prefer S2P... which means we could, in theory, let programs we want to speed up use this RAMDisk by default or through REG entries automated by a Sashimi install
Thanks appelflap. awaiting this. hope will work with htc shift
Variations of RAMdisk were first sighted about 2 years ago in relation to the XPeria1 - my somewhat unreliable memory says it was originally adapted from an old DOS program
There is no doubt it speeds up programs that use caches for reference ... the problem seems to be that most WM programs are "cache un-aware" ?
I wonder if one copied into RAMdisk the entire directory for a program which is originally installed on the card, and then edited the Registry entries to reflect this change of location, would loading and running this program then be noticeably quicker by reading RAMdisk instead of the card ? Like, perhaps, TomTom + map ?
Word of warning:
Watch out for the amount of ramsize one is defining:
accidently I setted the ramdisk to 512 Gb and my device didn't boot up anymore. I had to do a hard reset (after first having a heart attack, because I thought I screwed up my memory)
This is a proof that the HD2 definitely hasn't a 512 Gb memory chip

Definitely something to experiment with. Thanks for your suggestion.
What can be done with this ram-memory is something that has to be find out with some experiments, I guess. Any knowledge to direct these experiments is highly appreciated.

I used to do something similar to this on a DOS program a long time ago (1985). It did a lot of math and paged data to the "hard" drive where the data was stored. I would create a virtual disk in RAM and copy my data to that location. When I ran the program it would "page" data to the "hard" drive which was actually RAM. A file that took 2 hours would only take 20 minutes.
I think suiller includes a RAM disk in his rom and kitchen already for a few years.
You can find a lot of tips and trick over there.
Enjoy!

Meh, HTC fashionably several years late as usual -there's been a ramdisk driver floating around for ages from AMV007 for years - been using it ever since I got an Xperia X1.
Works fine on the HD2 - I use a 6mb ramdisk personally.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382944&page=1
Just a disclaimer:
DO NOT save mail attachments to storage card when applying this - as I got the STORAGE CARD2 feature - and that sucks... But easy to recover, just uncheck "save attachments to storage card" and soft reset...and everything is back to normal..
But RAMDISK sounds pretty cool - so I will test some more on it

This problem is easy resolved by hiding the ramdisk. Just do some settings for the ramdisk (I myself use it this moment for a 10mb opera cache, which really speeds up opera) and hide it via the registry.
Install, reboot no Ramdisk
Miri WM6.5 v 5.2
Where could be problem ?
Is ramdisk content lost upon reboot?
Or is it copied to non volatile memory before phone shutdown.
or maybe phone ram is already non volatile unlike PC?
# format ur micro sd thru phone then transfer to windows and reformat to fat32 64kb cluster
# shrink the volume for 1g to ext2 partition and linux swap (64 m)...( im using gparte ubuntu)..no need for swap if using others tool partion.
# format the ext2 partion using ubuntu disk utilty .U need to ensure the check box with 'Take Ownership of the File System' is unchecked for the partition before you create it otherwise the partition is created and it has superuser permissions only.
#done
Steps to prepare for installation:
# download all-in-one app2sd HERE
# Unzip the downloaded file
# Move the apps2sd folder to root directory of MicroSD
Next, simply connect the XT720 to your computer.
Ensure it is "Charge Only" for USB connection and USB Debugging mode for USB is turned on under Settings > Applications > Development.
Once you have the above checked, go ahead to launch a command prompt and perform the following:
Type: adb devices (you should see your Milestone serial number showing up. If you do not see serial number, it means there is no connection to your Milestone)
Type: adb shell
Type: su (make sure you do not see a prompt window on your Milestone. If you do, grant permission for it to access)
Type: cd /sdcard/apps2sd
Type: sh install.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)
Type: Number 1 to 0 (for every steps until the end)

when i install this, i have installed the build.prop and JIT...i only get a quadrant benchmark of low 600's.
any tips on what else i need to do...9 have milestone overclocker clocked at your speed (i.e. 1000mhz and 56vsel). And it is the european xt720.
thanks.
Thanks for great work, but can it be used in my XT701 ??
I wish to use App2SD & JIT, is this possible ??
@Wilson
Do u using swap?..im using ext2 ,swap and us sbf..the responsive and good cam quality is us sbf...
@chen
yes u can apply app2sd but Jit im not sure because never tested on xt701...
OK, I can try JIT this night, worst case is using open recovery to full recovery.
If any progress I will report within this thread.

hi khalpowers....i loaded the US sbf on to my phone, and i did not even root it and i am quite sure i saw improvement in the camcorder....the only problem was that i dont have 3G access. I am not sure if that is because the US does not acknowledge GSM...is it (xt720 for US) just for CDMA networks? BTW...i am pretty limited with knowledge in this area....so if i am saying something stupid, its cos i dont know any better... so i then reloaded the UK sbf, and got my phone back to working again.
I live in Australia, and bought the phone through expansys website, and use the 3/vodafone network.
i really only want good camcording experience with this phone, as that is why i bought it..got sucked into the reviews that this was state of the art HD .
So..really i just want great photos and camcording...any advice?
your time on replying to me is greatly appreciated
Dude.. with us sbf u need to add your apn telco setting @setting>wireless &networks >mobile network>access point names.click at menu button then u can see +new apn ..now u can add your apn telco apn setting ..only us sbf need to set apn manually..hope can help u solve the 3g problem..
It's not successful, with JIT options my XT701 ended in Moto Logo after reboot.
How can I find the source with the JIT??

yep, that worked.
thanks man...i am v happy now. cant understand and little bit doubtful to fully believe my eyes, but the camcorder seems SOO much better. wondering if i will be let down in the near future with it, but right now thinking this is the phone i should have been delivered from motorola from the start. thanks again...you delivered what i wanted!!
Couple of questions:
1. The circle battery is stuck at 100%.
2. Although app2sd seems to be installed and running (checked with busybox df -h), the internal memory seems to be dropping after every install. Is there some application that I can use to view/move apps to & fro internal memory and SD.
TIA.
hi khalpowers...i am trying to get swap working, and it does not seem to be.
here are the details:
i have sdcard kingston class 4 16gb, which i have formatted (using the DVD boot image for gparted) to:
15gb to Fat
500mb to ext2 for apps
32mb to ext2 for swap purpose
i have installed swapper, and selected "use swap partition"..the swap partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p3....which i assume is pointing to partition 3 on the sdcard, which is the ext2 32MB partition.
When i select "swap on" i get a few messages..
setting swappiness OK
turning swap off(partition) FAIL
formatting swap partition OK
enabling swap(partition) FAIL
All done
and when i select button "get information" it supports that nothing has been done as swap is always at 0kb.
Would there be a step i am missing for the XT720?
thanks in advance...and to anyone else who can help me out.
You're the man!
Finally works for my XT720, great thanks!
Only a little experience would like to share.
1. have been app2sd two months ago using apps2sd (adb script in this forum)!
I thought I did something wrong during the process, internal memory keep dropping in every install, I've checked app folder in sdcard, yes, all apps goes to sdcard, but after 40+ apps installed, machine prompt me low internal memory. Also, its heavily lag when recording SD(even not HD!!!) videos, play back videos and playing games.
2. I decided to upgrade my microSD to class 10 (previously class 6) week ago, it did improve on those lagging. But panic on how to copy card, I try cloning all partition to the new one. Sorry, be-remind that it does not work for original apps2sd. I did numerous hard reset. and tried app2card 2.7.6 and re-formating the card! Guess what, I BRICKED my phone. Sent to moto CS for repairing for 24 hrs.
3. So, start all over again couple of days ago. USING OPTIMIZER this time, it works!!! I have now over 60 apps (not including the build-in 110 apps) and still got 115mb internal memory remaining.
*** I think don't try on ext3, the app2sd optimizer come with ext2.ko, correct me if I am wrong!****
***Do not try to re-app2sd, not unless you can un-app2sd before applying new install, or you can flash the stock ROM where I never successfully done it!!****
Hope all happy new years and new machines!

No, you're still on 2.1 Update 1. It's just a build.prop hack.
I'm a little confused about installing JIT. I seem to recall reading that installing JIT on stock firmware is not a good idea. I'm currently running a Wind Mobile XT720 (software STR_U2_05.1F.2) and would like to install JIT but don't want to brick my phone. Do I need to install European/USA/Russian/etc firmware as noted on the droidforums ([GUIDE] Milestone XT720 - Apps2SD and Froyo JIT) before installing JIT? Unfortunately, none of the firmware versions match my phone, though...
Thanks for your help.
Hi All,
Here is 2.4.81 firmware for SDE enabled devices.
I did two versions:
- squashfs, in this one, system is read-only, you can't add/remove stock apps and edit system files. Files are compressed so it takes less storage space than ext3, it should be also slower than ext3.
- ext3, system is read/write and should be quicker. Be careful if you modify system files though. No ext4 for the moment as source code for the kernel is not available and ext4 is not enabled in stock kernel.
To install it:
(Pictures are from G9 A101 but menus are similar)
0) You must have SDE installed. If you didn't do it already, check there instructions on how to do it.
1) Extract zip file content
2) Copy android_2.4.81.squashfs (or android_2.4.81.ext3) to internal storage root.
3) Reboot
4) On boot menu, select "Recovery system"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5) Select "developer edition menu"
6) Select "flash kernel and initramfs"
6) A drive should appear on your PC, copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to it.
7) Select OK, the kernel should flash.
8) Select OK to reboot and maintain vol+ pressed. Boot menu should appear after reboot.
9) Select SDE in boot menu, you should be rooted and SuperUser functional.
Download rooted 2.4.81 on squashfs here.
Download rooted 2.4.81 on ext3 here.

Hey letama,
it seems you're cracking everything you got at hand
So how about the OS on this devices... is it still Froyo?
Extracting and grepping the included kernel gives:
Code:
Linux version 2.6.29-omap1 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.1 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Mon Dec 5 13:58:23 CET 2011
EDIT:
Not sure, seems to be recovery kernel
Waiting for letama's reply...
So what did they change here... better hardware specs of course.
So did they use 512MB RAM?
Screen resolution also increased, right?
What's the actual kernel version?
Congratulations for your new toy!!

512 MB of ram yes, a quite nice 1024x600 screen, and charging through usb which was one of my main grip with ram.
And yes, it's a 2.6.29 as expected to match froyo. Unfortunately no kernel source and too lazy to backport panel and touchscreen from .35 knowing that gingerbread should come soon.

Hi scalaneo,
Kernel did get flashed properly ?
You're sure the ext4 or squashfs file is at root of internal storage ?
It's not hard drive model, right ?
Hi,
Yes it´s hard drive 250gb model. Developer Menu is ok and the i copied the file to root yes.

Ok, that's why, I was not aware that HD model was out already when I did it, I mounts SD internal storage only. I'll take a look to see how I can detect HD and mount it.
Thanks Letama!
Can you try to flash this kernel and let me know ?
It should mount hd instead of sd.
Hi,
I have tested it and i get same result. :-(
It flashes kernel but then i get´s freeze at boot screen.
Grrr!
Ok, if you don't mind, could you try this one ? It should display two debug screens, could you show me the result (picture or write it here ?)
First Screen:

Sorry for the trial and errors
Hi again,
Menu 1 and Menu 2 photos attached:
After i can boot into Developer mode. But i always get the hdd as "Damaged internal storage". Internal storage problem. Please reboot.
It seems that i cannot access the hard drive somehow. Could it be because the build was done to work on SD card and not the internal HDD?
Many thanks for your support on this mate.

Hum, ok.
So mount worked, Android starts and you get this message just after?
I have no idea why, build should be the same between SD and HD as far as I know. The only thing I do differently from stock is that I mount the internal storage at the beginning to be able to access the ext4 file, but I do it in a separate directory than normal mount location to avoid interaction.
I'll take a look if I can find something.
Hi,
Thanks again for your help.
Well yes...this happens after the boot. Everything works fine but i cannot access the files or anything in HDD.
Also...everytime i try to access aplications that were installed in HHD it gives me an error saying that cannot find sd/.
I think that it assumes sd as default and not hdd. Also this is ext3 and not ext4, but i don´t think it will affect here.
Thanks again for the help.

I have a TMO1024 HD2, and when creating partitions, if I create a System partition greater than 447M, I get an error message (from CWR or from CWR via MAGLDR) that the partition is too large.
I would like to create a larger System partition, and was wondering whether there is a known way around this cap? A TMO HD2 has one-gig ROM storage, much of which is being wasted.
T-Mobile HD2: 576MB RAM, 1GB ROM

I would like to create a larger System partition, and was wondering whether there is a known way around this cap? A TMO HD2 has one-gig ROM storage, much of which is being wasted.

never seen anyone do it. try with black clk. if the built in resizing doesn't work, then it's not possible

Hi stranger! Glad to see you alive and kicking.
FWIW, I do not think that clk is relevent, but I would reconsider if it could create a 600M+ System partition...

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope that it is short-lived and wish you my best.
As for my issue, and to clarify, did you create the system partition with recovery or clk, and where is it located?
For me, System needs to be located in NAND, making use of as much of the 1G storage ROM available on the TMO1024 HD2. I use DataOnExt with all apps on Ext4, along with their dalvik counterparts. My signature indicates my current configuration.

thank you Mark
make a backup first then
i made them with clk ..when you boot into clk ..click on settings then click on resize partitions then click on system and adjust it to the size you
want then use the back key to go back one time then go to commit changes ..once thats done go back to the clk main menu and chose recovery and it will boot back into recovery and then you can install your backup
i actually use a 450 system part and have a 4gig ext4 part

Doing backups and restores are not as simple a task for me as it might be for you and others -- I have over 1150 installed apps at any one time (for evaluation purposes) and have high confidence in MAGLDR/RMNet/TWRP, so I would be hard-pressed to do so solely on a let's see if it works test.

Kameirus -- I think this has diverged a bit, based, in part, due to my lack of providing sufficient information. I am sorry for that.
Gilbert brought up clk and off we went.
I was not, at that time, considering a move from MAGLDR to CLK. RMNet is the default for Android, it may or may not be more stable, and PPP may or may not be faster. I do not know if this will ever be resolved universally, but for now, my preference is to keep with Android's default, and put the extra ROM storage wish on my back burner.
I do not want to give you any more work than you already give yourself in your community work, Kameirus. Thank you for that, but do not waste any more time on this. Others have a greater need for your skills than I do. Know that I appreciate you efforts.

What did you do to your back? Sheesh! I can commiserate a bit having a couple of bulging discs (lower back), and have Rheumatoid Arthritis throughout my body (sometimes feet, fingers, shoulders, etc. -- it moves about). It was caught very early on, so all is maintained with weekly shots and daily pills. Good times when it hibernates for awhile... :fingers-crossed:

I'm pretty new to all things Android and I have immersed myself in it these past few weeks as I have bought a 64Gb (59GB) Ultra SDXC with the sole intent of expanding the internal memory on the HD2. I've been experimenting with different ROMs and I'm currently sporting NRGZ28's EnergyROM with System and Boot on NAND and the card is set up with 43GB FAT32 and 16GB EXT4 and Data on EXT. Creating an EXT4 partition and installing the ROM to Data on EXT; that does extend the internal memory by installing apps on EXT4; yes?

- i have test the TWRP and for my roms this not work. the CWM Touch have no problem.
- i have test more partition sizes with clk and magldr
- EU is 400/5 and TmoUS 450/5 this is my biggest sizes and this works good
- 1GB=1024MB and small bad blocks and you have 850MB full working blocks
i think a higher partition works with a new HD2 and not with a HD2 with 100 rom flash´s

My ATIV S racked up 4GB in other storage and I only have 1GB left memory so is there a way to clean up the other storage, from either an XAP file or file explorer?
It's certainly *possible* with the full filesystem access, but I'm not sure where to look. That's the problem; we need to *find* anything in order to delete it.
Wrong forum, should be moved to Q&A.
2 TS: try to clean browser cache first, and check again...
This is an interesting topic.
Unlocked WP7 had CacheCleaner, WP8 Lumias and HTCs can do that by default... And Samsung WP8 are the only who can't!
It may be interesting for the future to have an app similar to CacheCleaner!

your wrong!
lumia devices and HTC Devices only can delete temporary files not Other Storage!
temp files are also about 0-100 MB but other storage gets at least 300 MB and it comes up to 3GB or 4GB!
Lumia and HTC devices are not able to clean that
as i mentioned only you can clean up temp files
To be honest, ALL of the files in Data partition except that in Public folder and programs folder are in "Other".

it means that if we get a file via bluetooth but windows phone can't detect the file type it will make our phone storage full.
or when we get files from net it will stored but we can't delete them at all.

Well…bluetooth is but files from net is not. U can delete all of your internet temporary files in one click in IE.

I may put this problem into the first place in my research about wp8 jailbreak. I really wanna know what MS has done to have made our disk space so easy to be filled with cache.
maybe I will publish a cache clearer here as soon as possible after heathcliff74's policy engine hack is done..
before that, maybe a full registry browser and editor will be my target, including some tweaks specially designed for WP8 or from WP7.
I'm still wondering how much it can do with GoodDayToDie's registry library after the ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API was added.:laugh:
ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API just enables writing to the section of HKLM which is responsible for app policies; it's very handy, to be sure, but it doesn't actually give you any write access to the *rest* of the system. There are a ton of other capabilities, though, and many of them unlock chunks of the registry... sometimes large ones.
I need to write a tool that does a really proper job of mapping the capabilities to permissions that they enable, and vice versa. So you could, for example, say "I need access to <PATH>" and it would tell you the capability required.

I had 3.3 GB .
I found that i was copied a file that it was a Driver pack for pc and it was in my storage It listed in my Other's Storage.
connect your phone to pc and check if you have any unsopported files.
If there was something delete that

oh your phone is Ativ S .
I don't know what is the other files that system create them .
I want to but Ativ s but i have no money so i have to first publish an app then i maybe answer this question.
even you have file system access in Ativ S it *maybe* very helpful to delete this other storage.

you have to backup your Phone and try.
I think this Other storage files include : Temporary Internet Files, Maybe Store Cache (Softwares you start download them but you don't complete the installation or screenshots of apps and other things), maybe app data !
for example your alarms or your saved games and your settings .
I do not surely know them even i test .

I might have misunderstood that ..
how many capabilities are related to registry?is it possible to enable them all in one app? I want to write an registry editor and browser so that I can do some researches into the registry more conveniently. Maybe more of the registry operation will be able to be done on device.
