hi just done a Magician to 1.13 + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage how do i now if i got BigStorage install on my phone as i still have 64 mb could some help me out thanks
One way is to check your memory and select Storage and not Storage Card. If BS is installed then you'll see ~27MB of free space. Secondly, using Explorer try copying a file to the Storage.
do i have bs then
hi is the right total storage card memory 26.72mb. in use 16.04mb, free 10.68mb, does that mean i have bs then thanks for your help so far

Hey all!
I am currently running on 1.50i.96 and am looking at upgrading to 1.60a. I dont seem to need much of on device storage space really, so i guess i'd atleast have the persistent memory benefit from 1.60a (correct me if am wrong here!)
I just unlocked my extended rom. I have a bunch of files sitting in it. The question is, can i back these files up on my computer, and get rid of it to free up space? Would that cause any problems during a hard reset or something?
The next question, how do i install the RAMDisk? Where can i find the installer for the same? Are there any procedures i'd need to follow to set my RAM disk size?
Thanks so very much!
San
i've a question fot you :
Have you read the posts about wm2005 rom in this forum ?
the 1.60 rom have 180 Mb of ram (volatile) and 14.5 Mb of Storage (persistant)
The Extended rom is NOT used by wm2005 , you can totally erase the extended rom and install all you want ....
You can install ramdisk on 1.60 rom but it's non-persistant .
persistant = : if you remove battery , content of persistant memory stay ....
non-persistant = : if you remove battery , content of non-persistant memory don't stay !!
thanks for your inputs TofClock.
I am aware of the fact that the ram disk is not persistent...the word "ram"disk is clear enough!
But i need the ram disk "just in case"...i thought it would make better sense to start using 1.60a only when i'm sure i can get more space in case i need it sometime later...for now 32 megs seems good enough though...
TofClock, by any chance could you mail me the ramdisk cab file ?? Heres my mail address...

Thanks again!

hmm...
well 1.60a has:
128MB Program memory
14.5MB Storage memory as system root
16MB ExtendedROM usable as storage
You cannot install RAMDisk on this version of ROM.
Well you can, but it will cause conflicts in the OS.
If you need more storage space, get yourself 1.50i.xx, where xx stands for amount of Program memory.

Thanks for your reply Buzz!
when I use 1.60a, I'd totally have 16MB+16MB of persistent storage right?
the question is, where do all the common files (DLLs etc.), contacts, messages etc. get installed/saved onto? One of the 16meg partitions right? My main worry is that all these common files, contacts etc. might exceed the 16meg partition that the OS is using...correct or would it??
I'd want persistent storage mainly, and as long as I can install a couple hundred megs of apps onto my storage card, I'm just fine!
thanks again big time

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
Saulo

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

Guys,
I've just been doing some optimisations on my XDA when I came across the following. When I have no SD card plugged in I have 24.53MB of RAM free. When I plug my 1GB SD card in I have 16.21MB Free. If I install the ROM unlocker I go down to 7.83MB. This is a lot of RAM just to access the external storage cards. (Yes the Extended ROM is treated like a storage card) What RAM usage is everyone else seeing for memory card mounting?
It would be great if some of the gurus could look at this and give their opinions.
Regards,
Tim

Be interesting to see others results, but (bearing in mind i havent soft reset)
Using a 2GB SD card, my current program memory available is 20.25MB, taking it out for about one minute my memory went to 20.30MB.
Putting it back in memory went down to 20.19MB then back to 20.25MB.
Matt
Have you been messing about in the registry to try and speed up your phone? If so that's where all your memory is disappearing to. When I plug in my SD card the memory drops by about 500k, not 8 MB.
Thanks for the quick feedback. So far the only hacks I've used are the Highresources cab file and the ones found in Tweaks2K2. I may need to do a hard reset to verify the results on a clean install and take it from there.
BTW I'm using the latest imate ROM 1.30.76 WWE on the XDA Exec.
4gb transcend SD in --> 19,33mb ram
4gb transcend SD out --> 21,64mb ram
512 SanDisk miniSD in --> 19,52mb ram
(with the 4096kb cache enabled)
It's just 0.4 MB drop for my 2GB Sd Card.

These tweaks will probably have enabled the storage manager\FATFS\cachesize and set it to 4096 ie 4MB.
They may have also activated the fsreplxfilt filter (In the same storage manager registry branch) also setting the ReplStoreCacheSize to 4096.
I used to have them active and my program memory starting at 20MB would frequently go down to 12mb - now i have about 26MB and after alot of use stays around 17-20MB.

Here's a link to the Windows Mobile Team Blog which explains where all the memory goes when you fiddle with the registry (either manually or through tweaking programs)
I bought the Telstra version of HTC HD2 and flashed the ROM to version 1.66 with Arabic support. What I have started noticing is that after installing several programs, my storage memory started running very low (now down to anywhere between 3-6MB while my free program memory is >160MB) even though I have setup my Windows Marketplace to install programs on the storage card, temp and cache files are as well as Email attachments are stored on the SD card and actually more than 80% of my program are installed on the SD card but I believe even when you tell a program to install on the SD card, portion of it has to install in the main memory.
My question is what to do about this situation (BTW, I have tried apps that clear the RAM and they work temporarily and, obviously, as I use my device the memory goes down and then I have to re-run that program to clear the RAM again). Is there a way to change the memory allocation between storage and program RAM like we used to do in Windows CE?
Please advise?

check your spl version. hspl don't compatible with the new rom.
you flashed it on hspl....hence the problem. since you flashed without reading properly, now it is time to search and read how to correct it...so , search, my dear.
I think he's reffering to internal storage and not program memory.....
I only get about 50mb free internal storage after cleaning out the caches etc so that about normal....... I guess....
If it is program memory then the answer is above.
