Universal RAM memory up graded, but failed! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

i tried to ask Pulm-center in HK who can do memory up grade, to add more 128mb ram.
He could add, but OS can read it at all. he tried to many modules and also many way. but still cant read it.
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/9332478.html
But my freind got it on Dell WM5 device,
http://pocketgames.jp/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3837&mode=thread&order=0]
Just report. <all llinks are japanese.for the pictures>
any way, my unversal has more 128mb memory inside still now,
with hoping someday OS can read it with os upgrade or something!

I'm sure it can't be an OS problem, as the Dell works fine with 256mb?

i agree that! but he has no way to do now.
he tried to his best which he could.
do u have any idea?

I think that it is and problem in chip pinout.
To get full 128mb RAM on HTC Magician you need to shortcut some pins by resistor... i think that is same situation here with HTC Universal.
At same time for upgrading hx4700 you do not need to shortcut anything.
P.S. Did you disassemble your HTC Universal? Can you tell us LCD part number?

I want to do a Ram up-grade to try it on my Jasjar.
Can anyone please tell me how to do it?? and where I can find the link to downoad it ?? I tried through the pasted links in the beginning of this forum but unfortunately my Japanese language is not good enough to know where to click.
Need your help please.
Regards,

he <palm Center HK> has many expierenses for memory upgrade,
he have done Magician also. he explaned to me about the short cut on the cercuite, also tried. but cant! also tried many kinds of Memory modules on it. sill cant.
about LCD, we didnt disassemble that. sorry no information.

To Mr,khaledelfeki>>in my site, no instruction how to do it.
Just reported the results, because it was not done bymyself.

Hi Asukal,
maybe the RAM size is hardcoded in nk.exe (kernel).
Same as it is hardcoded on Himalaya... If you do the RAM upgrade on Himalaya and then you put bigger RAM chips on it, it will use just the amount hardcoded in nk.exe.

Since the second 64MB is mapped, you can try
to read from it directly, overwrite it with some pattern and reread to check if it works.

Why the hell do you want more ram???
Ive never used 64meg ram, even on my XDAII !
I wanted to remove 64 on the old XDAII, you realise it will dramatically cut battery life having more right?

ya, i guess you english or 1 byte language user can not understand us.
we need to use japanese and chinese on this device,
Font and wince.nls, and also Japanese / chinese SIP waste much more
Strage Momory than you expect.
we can use only 30MB and some for the space to install something on WM5. even Program Memory has more space, we couldnt adjust it with slider to give ,more Storage memory. this is the prblem of WM5.

Do you think the NK.exe from Dell Axim v50 WM5 model will work to
over right to Unversal?
Because Dell device with WM5 already reconized another RAM.

Of course not. It is a different hardware setup.
nk.exe is not just "some" .exe you can arbitrarily
change

Ahha, I didnt realise the international fonts and input stuff wasted so much ram...
Rember that the two types of memory on universal are completely different chips now!
Storage is FLASH only and Program is RAM only.
That is why there can be no slider between them.
Adding ram chips will only ever increase the program memory.
to increase the Storage you would have to change the flash chip (dont think you can add one) or gain access to the hidden Extrom.
This is the reason the memory slider was dropped, you cant change between chips/types of memory like that.
Shame, but for the other benefits its worth it.

Can you dump the boardID instead?

My ID is 0x5, and this value differs for

Dell Axim X50v WM6 A02 RTM with 0Mb PP (Discussion/Download)

I opened a new thread to discuss the effects of Maglite's WM6 A02 ROM with 0Mb PAGEPOOL and to not overload his own thread.
All info transfered from the original post and waiting for feedback.
Test this please:
- Check if Filesys.exe hits harder or smoother.
- Check if there is any diference in responsivness(faster/slower)
- Install apps to your Main Storage and test
Note: All of the hard work was made by Maglite_Rus, i just changed the PagePool for testing.
Until now, all is good. My Axim is fast, Filesys.exe appears,but very smooth and briefly.
Zeus_Alex
Uploading WM6 with 0Mb Pagepool to rapidshare... It will be up in a few moments for who wants to try it...
It has no changes yet, but its very good... In my spare time, will change some stuff, adding some more, removing a few stuff and then ill tell you guys whats new or not...
Greets from Portugal..
Edited: Now its the right link, the 0Mb PP rom..Ehehe...
http://rapidshare.com/files/57962070...o_0Mb.rar.html
Its the same procedure to flash.
Copy both files to root of SD Card with Fat32, press Wireless + Power + Soft reset to start...etc, etc...
Test it and tell something... I tested in 2 different X50v's and had diferent results in both..Mine has near 40Mb of free RAM and its quite fast, with no problems changing from one app to another.
The other one i flashed, had only 36Mb of Free Ram and it was as fast as mine...I dont understand why the Free RAM is diferent from one to another and with the same rom...Strange..lol...
P.S. - Try it at your own risk.. dont want to be blamed or flamed if anything goes wrong...

I instaled 0mb pp version on my axim and only have 30 mb free.
When finishing instalation, first time of use I experimented a very low speed, and filesys.exe was stuck at ~50% of processor for several minutes.
Then work fine, not too fast, but fine, with wisbar installed work better.
I still have the filesys problem, 3 times on the day, for severals minutes the processor at ~50%.
I've give to 0 pp few more days.
Good try, but my guess is that when you set the pagepool to 0, it is like to let windows mobile o/s decide what pagepool is suitable for your axim. and the decision is dynamic. That explains why sometime you get 34MB free ram while the other times you get 30MB free ram.
Rember what windows xp does when you let xp decide its Virtual Memory on its own.

I dont think that the OS is deciding what pagepool to use, but something is happening because for me, filesys is much smoother.
But as i said, its just a test, nothing to serious, altough the rom is very stable.
But a few minutes ago i had an idea to, maybe, stop filesys.exe from hitting. A few more days and, if it works, ill release it for testing. But please, no PM's about it as this is only an idea of mine, and im going to have to rebuild the entire system..
Thank you both for your feedback.

I think like you. But by other hand, I go to settings -> memory and says Total: 61.34 mb (with pp 0mb) and 57.32 mb (with pp 4mb).

By this, do you mean remove Filesys.exe entirely from Windows Mobile? Or are you referring to some other method of keeping Filesys.exe from firing as often?
I hope it's not the former, as removing Filesys.exe completely could seriously reduce the expected lifetime of an Axim. (as I'm sure you already know)

He's refering to the total of ram, not the free and available...eheh..sure it would be good having the total of 64Mb..eheh...
As for my ideia, i was thinking of another aproach on filesys.exe...not removing it completely, as the Axim could be very unstable. But i am thinking in switch it with another one...I have to make some tests an probably will damage one of my X50v's, but i think it will work...
We'll see...

Okay, I see now. Now that I've looked at it, it does seem strange. It's saying I have roughly 18mb of free RAM, but I'm running without any slowdowns whatsoever! It doesn't make sense, but it's hard not to like it anyway!
I'm excited to see what happens with the alternate "Filesys" that you have in mind, Zeus! I hope it doesn't brick any of your Axims though!
Ok..so, let me explain whats going up to now...
I'm testing my idea as we speak but having some dificulty. I've sucecssfully tested and make my idea work, but not all traces of compactation disapeared.
What i want is really to make compactation go away or not being noticed.
Here's how all of you can help.
I have to check the specs of all PDA's, but not Axim's, with the Filesys.exe file on it... If you dont mind, you could help.
Just install a process viewer and check if filesys.exe is running. If your system has Filesys.exe, post the specs of your machine here and, if possible, the file "Filesys.exe".
I need help from all of you to make this work. All devices could help...
Thank you.
Note: I've attached a free taskmanager tha will do...Its very good. If you dont have any, try this one.

WoW, I looking forward to it.
Don't blame me if I ask a dumb question.
Since filesys.exe is a necessary process on wm device.Although it would attack by no reason.Sometimes It actually do it's job.If force to suppress the cpu usage.When filesys.exe actually doing the right thing, reading or writing rom and eat 100% cpu usage in a short while.Maybe suppress is not a good solution in this situation that causing slow down.
Rom link is dead. just letting you know
Let me tell you the correct file name to get a persistent upload:
"in_this_file__is_Chuck_Norris_you're_adverted"
Without jokes, this file is down, always that I say myself "um Im going to get..." when clic the link... If I get the file, I'll upload to another site, for sure!
Sorry abou the link guys...Maybe it was the name..lol...
I'll upload it as soon as i get my hand on my home pc..Or maybe who has the file already, may upload it too and share the link...
Very soon, i promisse you..no more filesys and slowdowns. Im working on it and right now i am posting this with one of the test X50v with a "hacked" filesys...Its not perfect yet, but will be.
I'll be in touch.
Thank you
That would be great, wait&see dont you?

That was quick..eheh..Im sure you will like it, but tell me the results after ok?
And one more thing, could you upload the rom to rapidshare and post a link so that other users can try? I'll have access to my pc tomorrow only and cant upload it my self..
Thank you in advance.
Zero PP don't solve "filesys problem"...
This problem associated with the type of flash ROM memory because NOR flash is too slow for writing information...

First of all, is a pleasure to see you post here and knowing you are reading this thread. Thank you for all the hard work.
Ok, now to the point.
I know that the PP hardly affects or resolves the compactation thread that is present in all our X50v's.
I also know that NOR is far more slow writting, but if you noticed, and im sure you did, reading is much faster and no slowdowns are present.
My idea is as simple as that. Without "bricking" our Axim's, im trying to implement faster speeds writting blocks of NOR.
Thats why im testing it myself and not sharing it for now. If theres any chance of bricking it, it will brick only mine and no one elses Axim. Once i am certain of the results, i'll post here.
For now, just testing and adjusting...

Missing icons in start menu

Hi,
I'm using O2 XDA Orbit, currently with Meschle's VANILA 2.0 Rom. and my problem is that I'm missing icons in start menu. but it is not problem of this rom, i used other WM6 ROMs, even official O2 international, but with the same effect. the icons r missing also in shortcut bar. I had not this problem with original WM5.
anybody with same problem or knows how to solve it?

It looks as if the shortcuts do not relate to an executable (ie when you deinstall something or move the programfolder). Is this the case? The programs that you use, i use too, so it seems its not related to that software.
What happens if you reinstall the programs? BTW are they on you storagecard? If so, can you access the storagecard at all?
I had the same problem, but found a solution.
A small "program" called refreshstartmenu.exe, works for me!

Memory is LOW Problem

Hi I currently have NRG ROSE (ricky and stylez) 1.7a ROM installed
I keep getting that "Memory is LOW" alert when I go to the comms manager through the chome slides.
There is no official thread that solves this problem. SO I figure I would start it.
(of course I used the search function but the official NRG ROSE ricky + stylez thread is like 100 pages big)
I did not install Page Pool either. I don't know how to install it. Can someone explain to me what it does?
Thanks in advanced.

You didn't even read from the back of thread pure lazy.....
In a couple of days its not going to be the back of the thread anymore.
So start a new thread with title "MEMORY is LOW" and it will solve everyone's search problems.
You could atleast given me some insight about page pool
Do I have to install it as i reflash my phone? or can I just install it like a .cab file right now?
The pagepool changes the "swap file" allocation of the phone's memory and it's done BEFORE you flash the ROM by editing the NBH file. The lower you set it, the more RAM you'll have available to you after you flash. However, less will be available to the system for caching, so your phone might seem slower... The secret is finding the perfect balance that works for you
FA SHO man. That makes perfect sense to me. You are a baller my friend.
If I mess with OMAP Clock, would this help me out? I'm afraid to Over clock the phone. I'll check the search function out.

WM6.5 for ultimate 9502

Hello guys!
I know that you guys support only HTC phones, but duo to your amazing works, i decided to ask here. I have I-mate ultimate 9502 wm6.1 and i would i to have wm6.5 (very jealous lol). My question is:- anyone knows if there is any cooked wm6.5 for ultimate devices?? or if there is any cooked wm6.5 that can be used on 9502?
Thanks
I'm using 9502 and 6150.
And it seems this site is HTC Developers or something like all-except-imate developers. They won't create subforum for imate, not even one. And if I ask something about imate, ppls here will just switch to pretend-that-there-is-no-post-about-imate mode... even if they see it, they just banish ppls that ask about imate stuffs.
And personally I think this site, XDA-Devs is so bad, not only they so HTC-crap oriented. Many ppls here just cant solve any small problem, for ex: my Windows Live Messenger Mobile's emoticon suddenly disappeared for unknown reason..
I ask it here and no one able to solve that...
How do you expect ppls here CAN or ABLE to break imate ROM lock to create new WM6.5 or upcoming WM7 ROM?
I'm so pessimist with people here, they're so HTC oriented and don't care about imate users. They should change their name to HTC-Developers so ppls know that this site is not for all PDA...
its so sad and disheartening...
but thank god i have a htC
thank god i have a diamond lol

XDA is a specific kind of device manufactured by HTC. XDA's all share a common architecture which means the unlocking and ROM flashing process is very similar. The Xperia X1 for instance was manufactured by HTC and thus shares this architecture. Devices such as the imate ultimates are very different. Perhaps they could be figured out too, but unfortunately there just may not be enough popularity for those devices. Whether or not a device will have XDA support is a factor when I decide to purchase a wm device.
Perhaps someone else can give a better explanation of what exactly an XDA is but hopefully you kind of get the idea from my explanation.
I know XDA, it the old kind of PDA, before PDA (from Wikipedia).
What I think is: even 9502 got the same hardware as Diamond, so what's the diff?
I can use Diamond's driver and HTC things in my imate, so what? diff architecture? I don't think so...

honestly not to blow your bubble but i doubt you will ever be able to update winmo 6.5. as for a cooked rom , you are definetly not in the right forum . i checked on google for you and theres so custom roms having 6.5 or even 6.1 lol . so i think you could just try spb mobile shell to give your phone a new look . . sayonara
No, you can't since 9501 got more advanced function like Quadband GSM, Tiband UMTS, TV-Out and many more. Plus the ROM Update is locked with special password.
But the rest, the basic architechture (MSM7200) is the same as Diamond.

Hi, that is the difference between imate and htc, you mention it.
And I guess, not just that, they can share the same architecture, but there's must be many differences between the two pdas.
let say an xda atom comparing to hp ipaq 6282(cmiiw), they both hv same hardware configuration, but they have really different drivers to use.
And maybe that's why there's no such cooked rom 4 imate,etc
Thanks for the suggestion, I wish it had worked.

No, won't work, even if you have an HTC device and try to install a ROM that was intended for another HTC device still won't work, ROMs are device specific.
Btw, I had an Ultimate 9502 but I sold it because of the limited support that Imate devices have and I got an HTC instead.
I don't think you'll be getting any more support anytime soon because the company has been closed.

Hi, that is the difference between imate and htc, you mention it.
And I guess, not just that, they can share the same architecture, but there's must be many differences between the two pdas.
let say an xda atom comparing to hp ipaq 6282(cmiiw), they both hv same hardware configuration, but they have really different drivers to use.
And maybe that's why there's no such cooked rom 4 imate,etc

Yup, you're right. But I think there a bunch of clever devs here that can oversome this lil problem I guess... Or my guess is wrong? Devs here are not as clever as I think so they can't even break this ROM lock?
I'm trying to cook a ROM now for Ultimate 9502, tho i'm so professional but i know how to read those amazing threads that you guys have writen. My question now is:- is there anyone who can help i case i need some professional advices??

WOW! ^^ Yup, there's some people here like Shonky or casouzaj that can help you... I can help you a little, but not for doing program disassembly. I had tried to reverse engineer the EUM for flashing but couldn't find the solution for ROM lock. But I'm able to confirm that the camera.exe for 9502 is natively capable of GPS-Photo but lack of required registry code/system files. And the A-GPS is supported but no one can utilize the API. For A-GPS, you can check in the registry, there is a key named HKLM\Software\Mobi\agps, inside there's some keys with blank value. Tried to fill them but got no luck. Hope you can continue developing ROM for our devices. Thank you very much. ^^
You are welcome man. What i really need to know now is how to find the damn XIP start, i have read maybe all the threads about xip but still the damn RomMaster is giving me an error. In my opinion there is somethinig wrong when i splitnb and then imgfsfromnb, it gives me an imgfs that has a size of 0 is that the right way u did it?
Hmmm, from the way that I did....
I just read it somewhere that the core and XIP for imate series ROM is compressed. Therefore need additional tool to extract it. So we can't extract it by usual HTC ROM method.
And I just realized that, and that's explain why my compiled ROM got smaller size than the original ROM even though I didn't alter anything, just decompile and recompile.

Quick bootloader help needed

hello xda ppl, i am newbie for BlueAngel, and i dont have cable for it.
i got blueangel ruu with wm6.5 rom img and i transfered enterbootloader.exe and *.nbf to my mmc, moved enterbootloader.exe to phone memory and executed it.
not i have white splash screen with:
Serial (on top of screen)
and v2.10 (on bottom of screen)
there is no light on screen
i saw twice that both leds had flashed for about few milliseconds.
question is, how to exit bootloader and update *.nbf from mmc???
best regards

Congratulations, you just put your device in bootloader with no means to take it out of it... (sorry for the sarcasm...)
In any case, you will have to get a cable since the device has to receive a command to exit bootloader, which you will not be able to do through the device. There is no way to flash a rom through SD on the BA (I have a small project, but I am not certain that it will unlock it for you... in fact, I seriously doubt it).
I will try to upload it later and give you a link for it.
thanx anyway, i just got cable
charger and schemes do amiazing things
hehehe
btw, i am hermes user, and i thought it is just like in hermes, (reset exit bootloader) hehehehe
btw,m thank you for your support and reply.
man, you can not imagine what i have do to enter bootloader
about 30 minutes of rebooting device
i think i should keep in bootloader mode, it was too hard to get it in
hehehehe
regards

You got it working though...
yes, i managed to fix it, but it would be great to see that project you have started
one quick question, i did not find it anywhere, but is there resouce explorer or reshack sort of app written for wm5/6?
btw, is there any place where i can get winCE apis documentation, msdn annoys me, and if anyone of you use masm32, does someone know where can i get headers and library for masm32 (or should i start new topic and set proper name for this question?)

I believe that there is a reshack for WM (in fact, I saw it not too long ago). As far as the apis, unfortunately, I am not a programmer, so I wouldn't even know where to start looking for that (other than google searches).
well, listing win32 and CE functions at same place....
i use winNT api help, because it does not contain .Net or winCE apis....lol

Which link are you talking about (I have like 4 in my signature)?
In any case, if you are looking for a UI that makes the device look like a Desktop, you need Wisbar Advance Desktop and Wisbar Advance. I have never been able to use them correctly, but I have seen people making their Home screens look like OSX, WinXP, and even Vista.

i was thinking about that link.
i tryed wisbar, but it is not something i may like.
there is something like wisbar on s60, and i gave up on it 2 years ago...
just dont know why do i have to be one who find all buggs in software\hardware :S
btw, ORD, i am partly in, but in my case, it dont have to be stable, but UI must be flawless
anyway, now i have issue with splash on hermes:S
going to try to fix that, see you later and thanx for nice conversation

Hey _wook_
You could try going into Start>Settings>Personal>Input Options and check the options in there. I cannot remember off the top of my head, but I do believe that this option is somewhere in here.
yha, i know for that, but it is not for a landscape, only portrait mode.
but i will find something
thanx for reply

I'll snoop around and see what I can come up with.
fixed:
registry value need to be changed, hklm/system/gdi/cleartypesettings/offonrotation (dword) set to 1 (by default is 0).
