after upgrading wm2k5 1.60c , ram is gone or missing, help - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I ran the program to recover system ram using the extended rom tools and now the ram is MIA. what have I done! whaaassaaaaaaa!

Hi
Are you sure that RAM is lost ?
Rather ROM (Storage) because you formatted it when you installed WM5.
All data from your storage is lost. That's for sure.

it would be usefull if you told us exactly which desire hd rom, how you are running it (daf, cwm, sd card), and whether you have an ext partition on your sd card. Oh, and which phone you have, regular or tmous.
Sense roms are big, they take up a big chunk of the nand, so it is almost always essential to use app2sd and/or data2sd. (read the thread for the rom you have to know which it supports)
More accurate info = more accurate help.
rubbish info = rubbish guesswork help.

Thanks for your reply...
here is my details..
ROM : LeoRCMix S v.1.5 (RCMixS v.2.0) [Sense 2.1+3.0]
Running using : CWM
Phone : HTC HD2
Im using : TMOUS
I know i have to use app2sd/data2sd.. but im not sure how to config it.. even i tried to do but im struck with boot screen..
ok, so it should only need a 200 meg system partition, so my guess would be that you haven't set up the 1gb ext partition? you can do that through cwm (backup your sd card first, it will get formatted) and
but im not sure how to config it

you dont have to. it does it itself so long as you have the ext partition properly created. I also think that if you DONT have the ext partition set up yet, you will probably need to reinstal the rom after you DO set it up.
So, summary, , , question 1 - do you have an ext partition set up?
(Also, and this causes a lot of confusion, , , when the system uses an ext partition, it DOES NOT show the extra space in the available memory count, but it does get used, , so for example my phone shows 210MB or so free internal space, , , i install a 10MB probgram, that goes down to 200, BUT after i reboot, it goes back up to 210, , because the prog has actually installed to my 512MB ext partition, not the 210 internal space.)

then you are wasting 200 meg, , that rom says in post 1
EU and TMOUS: 200M system + 1GB EXT partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that means you have 200 meg empty in your system partition, not being used.
Stuff that you install do not get installed to the system partition, nothing (or at least not apps / settings) gets put into the system partition, except the system at installation.
Do a full cwm backup, reflash using a 200MB partition layout, reflash the rom to teh new layout, restore your data and sd-ext partitions from advanced restore (in cwm) and you will recover the 200MB

Thanks a lot... now i understood wht is system and data memory.. now i got 200mb internal memory.. thanks again
same problem
i have a nand of 4.1.2 in my hd2 its pacman
it shows system memory only 13mb, i have removed all apps i installed earlier but still no space freed, can i atleast get the same 150mb back which i had earlier i.e any way to wipe all data on it/hard reset it?
is there any way of expanding the memory? because after i have installed 10-15 apps the memory vanished(even though i moved the apps to sdcard using app2sd) does that means i can not install more apps any way??
p.s i am a new user of android dont know how to install new rom etc so please explain the solution in simple steps.

256MB?

Hi,
Just rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Blade. Upon checking 'Manage Apps', My internal storage says 117MB used, 46MB free. Have I done something wrong during the ROM install that I did not get 256MB on my Blade?
Thanks and sorry if this has been posted before
nope. 162mb is the default internal memory for the Blade .
Internal memory is just for you apps; it's not the same as your RAM.

What is the difference between the ROM size and internal Memory RAM???

Hi Guys,
I have a Defy Plus with DFP-231 Asian Retail version ROM. I had some memory cleaning widget which shows that my applications could use a total of 350 MB memory.....
I thought that the D+ came with 2 GB internal memory so I could load upto ~2GB of games(apps) running. ...:crying:
With all this confusion...
My Question is : What is the Difference between The RAM and ROM and Why is my widget showing only 350 MB usable for apps???
Kindly correct me If I'm wrong in my assumptions.
Cheers,
Vic
do not confuse ram with rom. rom is the storage which stores installed apps and system files, its like the hdd in a pc, and it keeps its content when powered down.
ram is a temporary storage from where apps run, and it clears after a power-down. (memory in a pc)
the defy has 2gb built-in storage (rom), from which 1.2 is usable for apps, and it has 512MB ram (around 470-480 usable).
you probably have a lot of apps installed, thats why the widget shows only 350mb remaining.
Thank you for clearing this

Hi, :laugh:
Thank you very much for clearing this.. So does that mean when I install apps to my phone instead of SD card they get installed in RAM and not ROM????

Vic

umm, no. they get installed in rOm, thats the permanent storage, ram is temporary. although there are solutions to install apps to sdcard. (app2sd, data2sd)

Usable for Apps means memory that can be used to store apps permanently.. It is the available ROM on your device. As stated before the 2GB memory is shared by OS & Apps.
RAM (512 MB on defy+) is temporary and is cleared on reboot and other activities.

[Q] help: lost my ram or rom ??????

I been a while I did not come around here and totaly lost. If I remember my , my phone, a t-mobile usa have enough ram not to have any memory problems for my use. If I remember I should have 1024 megs. I've instaled touchwizmod_hd2 (v3) and now have a total of 528meg with only a bit over 60meg free. Where is my memory now? I've did a few search but lost my patience before finding my answer. Please can you help me or direct me where is the solution ...
now seen on storage:
total space: 528mb
avail. 67.33
apps 380
cached data 8.1
sdcard
59.45gb
no need for detail for this.
I was thinking the same, but both EU & TmoUS HD2 have the same amount of RAM of 512MB (or 576MB if you may)
I guess You have installed your ROM on nand (?)
Try reflashing it on dataOnExt or just put everything on SD, your sd card is HUUUGE

I'm fairly sure that's your ROM not RAM. In the RAM statistics you should see around 411 total regardless of whether you have an EU or TMOUS HD2. What /system partition size did you use when flashing recovery? Do you have an EXT partition on your SD card? How many apps do you have installed on your phone? The answers to those questions could all help in figuring out your problem.

new rom installing on remaining 8gb storage

earlier i read a post where samsung said that from 16gb total storage half is taken by main software ... now that i have a new rom on my fone ... m still getting only 8gb storage and from that 4 gb is taken by new rom ... m confused hee .. where is the rest of 8gb gone now ???
You have a total of 16GB internal memory.
From that memory, about 7GB is reserved for system, cache and other stuff.
You should have about 8-9GB free internal storage with nothing but the ROM installed. A ROM is installed on the reserved system partition, it shouldn't use your internal storage.
yes thats what i thought but i installed new rom n its using half of the remaining 8gb and m left with only 4gb usable space ..
did i do something wrong .. like installed rom normally as we do but now this prob :/
You obviously have left over app data or something. As I said, ROMs aren't installed on the user data partition.
