Hi,
I have all programs installed on 2GB miniSD card, and have 30MB in storage part of memory available, but have only 10MB free space available for programs (I'm running skype and some other big programs).
I'd like to redistribute space as I could in windows mobile 2003. Is it possible to do in WM5?
It's really anoying when iGo says it's not enougm memory available and I have to shut down some programs.
I asked a couple of times.
Got no convincing ansers. I hope some tech guru can find the solution!
I heard WM2005 handles the memory is a completely different way from WM 2003. So probably it is impossible.
Thanks

it varies between devices apparently. On my uk tmob vario it wont move at all, even using memaid :roll: on my old ipaq however it worked fine
You can NOT use (static) flash ROM (say, a storage card) as dynamic (program) RAM because of the speed difference, which is in the order of orders of magnitude.
That is, you can NOT increase the program memory in your PDA in any way - except for sending it in for PPCTechs for a (costly) RAM upgrade. Sorry.

Hai guys!
Where do you have installed TomTOm 5 on your Jam?
I don't know if is better to install it on memory card, on RAM or on ROM....
Obviusly the maps on SD... :wink:
But the app?
I install everything on SD. (need to modify the registry to move the voice file to SD) So far so good.
can you indicated datail
I do install to the SD but it still intalled some files in main memory
I moved the files menually and modifiy the registry for the modified path
I installed all of it to the ROM (did the bigstorage rom hack), except for the maps which are on SD.
Install into RAM at all costs. Why? Because internal ROM and SD-Cards are way slower then internal RAM, youll slow down the speed of programs quite a lot. Using a Qtek S110 with 128MB RAM this is no problem at all but even on my old iPAQ 5450 with only 64MB RAM is was easily possible leaving 32MB for program exection.

I agree RAM is the fastest one but I don't think putting everything on SD has any noticeable performance hit to run TT5 at all (it does takes more time to load, that's it). In fact, I always run TT5 + IGuidiance 2.1 + BetaPlayer all at once without performance problem. I don't want to spend extra $$$ to upgrade to 128mb and I rather save more ram to run more programs by all the tricks. (I do manage to get 35-40 mb free with many programs installed)

Since we have to put the maps to SD anyway, I won't put the program to rom. Instead, I use my bigstorage for DLLs to save ram (by memmaid) and programs that still have to run even I need to swap the SD. Examples are:
1. Resco file explorer
2. betaplayer
3. Softick card export II.
4. Cyberon VoiceCommander (or MS Voicecommand)
5. Resco picture viewer

Hi
Hope you can help me. I've had my Vario for a few weeks now, but i'm concerned about the way the memory is managed. I know about WM5 and the memory thing, but still I can't make sense of this:
Looking at my memory status, I've got 15.94 MB free on the storage memory, and only 2.39MB free on the programme side.
Currently running applications include:
pocket informant
and that's it!
i installed AvantGo, Pocket informant, Egress RSS reader, Phm registry editor, mortPlayer, O2Plus, total Commander, Spb GPRS, Clear Notify, real one, psShutXp and A-Z pock3et viewer. Some of these apps are installed on my storage card, and none of these are currently running, with the exception of a couple of today plugins.
How on earth can I go down to 2.39MB free programme memory ?
What would you advise to increase it?
I tried earlier to install AvantGo on the storage card, but it was not a success, as the system seems to shut power to the storage card occasionally (once a week?), leading to the miniSD being renamed storageCard2 when it restores power and access to it -which means shortcuts to programmes installed on the card are disabled unless you soft-reset the device.
Am I doing anything wrong? How can I increase my free programme memory?
Put it like this, applications installed on the memory card or in unlocked extendedROM's still seem to deplete storage on device. For example I put SPB pocket plus in my Extended ROM folder and then decided to delete it, as it remioved itselef, Storage went up by 1 meg. It wasn't even supposed to be in Storage so there is obviously 'cross contaminaton' of files to make certain progs work. You can run GPRS SPB from Storage cards tho. On my device I have MS Voice command 1.5, SPB GPRS monitor, HFR Switch programme, Wififofum, Resco Explorer,Tweaks 2K,Mort Player, a different dialpad skin,an Ext Rom unlocker, Pocket TV and a Draughts (checkers) game. I have 22.2 in Program Memory and 41.3 in Storage. The only other thing I don't have that you might have is some of the T-Mobile plugins and customisation and I don't have the PDF viewer.
How can i free up memory ram? It seems is 64 MB, but i don´t know how obtain more free memory for programs than 29 mb when my v1605 is running without any program in use.
yes you have a maximum of 64mb of ram.
The operating system itself and the software loaded by your your device retail supplier (imate, dopod, htc, orange, congular etc) takes up around half of your ram. this is when the phone has booted up and 'you' have not loaded any applications.
therefore 29mb of free ram seems good.
Thanks, the probles is that i have some games that needs 32 free memory ram. There is not any way to do?

buy a psp
try using an app like memaid or sktools, though i doubt you can obtain 32 mbs.

i can obtain 32.5-33mb on a fresh soft reboot on my 8525... I chose not to install any of cingular extension rom and only installed the keyboard remap cab from the extrom...
and i installed most of my apps to the extension folder...
Also does anyone know of any apps that free's up ur ram as if u just done a soft reset??? i remember someone reccomend an app like that...
The most I have ever got free is around 33Mb so if you want to runs games that *need* 32Mb you will be struggling. This is on a bare Hermes (no programs installed) with nothing from the ext ROM loaded and no operator junk.
The best program I have come across for freeing up memory is MemMaid
Hi All,
What would you say was a reasonable amount of free RAM to have with a WM5 Wizard, assuming you'd already installed the standard stuff like smartskey, tomtom, reg hacks, palm messaging etc etc?
Mine's on about 9.5MB free which seems very low, and it's causing GPS Tuner to fail to launch.
I'm debating a hard reset and reinstall and wanted to canvas opinions...

Are you taking about program RAM ( I have about 25M Free) or Device RAM ( I have about 19M Free)? If your taking about device RAM (where you install programs) I would uninstall them and any program that does not have a today plug-in associated with it, I would install it on my mini SD Card, if it does have a today plug-in associated with it, I would install that on the device. Also, you can go into your mail attachments stored on your SD Card as well as your temp internet files. If you are speaking about program memory, well, I would suggest Faria’s WM5 3.3 ROM!
Hi,
I have got HTC Touch GSM bought in Australia. I have recently flashed it with Onyx 5.2.1 WM6.5 ROM and all is well.
When I look at the memory, I can se 30MB to Storage and 10 to Programs. Is there a way I can change it some how so Programs get 20-25 MB and Storage gets less? I normally install everything on storage card so don't really care about too much Storage.
Even if I can set it to 50% I would be happy. Any clues?
Cheers
Well, if you wish to have more storage, may I suggest you getting Onyx Jr 4.7 or even Micro for more storage.
And, to add on, Wm6.5 is not official and that build might not be stable.
Your 30mb of storage will rollover to programs when there is not enough memory in programs.
