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.

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

I got an XDA Mini S and a 1GB Mini SD card.
I was wondering, im putting on VJPhonetools, Papyrus, Pocketbreeze, Smartkeys, Phoneprofiles along with a shed load of MP3's etc. and want to know which will run quicker :
1. Progs on the phone and MP3's on the card
2. Progs and MP3's on the card.
3. Some progs on the phone and the other progs on the card along with the MP3's?
Ta
P.S, how do i get CAPNOTIFY to run, i have it on my XDA but when i click it nothing happens !!!
1.
Some programs don't run well from memory card - any kind of hack (like smarkskey) should be installed on phone, some other programs can be installed in the card without problems. Since phone storage memory and RAM are not shared in WM5 (like they were in 2003SE) you can get away with installing a lot on the phone. MP3s and such are fine to install on memory card. Might get some problems with jerky video/audio (never experienced this myself) but nothing major.

Didnt know that. Thanks
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.
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?

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
Hey Folks,
first of all, I like those new ROMs with Manila2D very much. Interface looks nice and is really good to use.
The thing that makes me think about going back to non-Manila ROM is the excessive RAM usage ... with Syrius R1 e.g. I got max. 35mb of free RAM directly after Installation. Compared to a udK Diamond R8 which I used for quiet a while ... running SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.2 + Cube and several other installed apps, gave me 45mb+ free RAM.
What's your RAM usage like with Manila2D? I don't know if it's in any way worth sacrificing 10MB+ of RAM just for the nice looks .... though anyway Mobile Shell looks very nice too, and has like thousands of Skins and mods available.
boba
Well thats the trade off you get. Manila 2d isnt THAT RAM intensive. So its up to you wether you use it or not.
I think Manila is GREAT and im more than happy to sacrifice ram. Nothing else compares to Manila.
If you want just a skin and cut down on Ram usage a little bit, try loading on Vito's Winterface or iFonz.
Other than that, just dont use Manila.
No answer to your question, just a other question of me.
Do you need the extra free program memory?
I never have a shortage in memory. I never checked the amout of free memory until I saw your post. I have 23 MB free program memory with a lot of programs active. I noticed there is only a total of 84 MB of program memory. I thought it should be 128 MB? As stated before, I never have any issues with a lack of memory.
Different ROMs have different amounts of free RAM available. There is a certain amount that can be reserved for other things, such as pagepool I believe, that take away from the total program memory available. This even happened in the wm6.1 official ROM, max memory available dropped.

If you want max free memory out of the ROM, like me try Bepe 0.67 rom. I disable the Biotouch.exe (a simple trick by renaming activesynkiller.exe to Biotouch.exe) And install Manila2D on my own -> use the beta 18 version.
And on fresh restart, I get 69MB free memory. After hours of usage, I still get 60MB free memory.
No answer but another question
IGO 6 & 8 not working while Manila is active, must disable the Manila and reset to launch IGO
if I minimize IGO and start Manila and return back to IGO it working with no problem
is it another memory problem or what ???
