I'm asking you all WM5 geeks: is there a way to change the memory allocation in WM5? In my prev PPC 2002 I could dedicate more RAM to apps running, but I learned Tynt has no such feature. I also read about the ROM unlocker but I think it's not what I'm looking for since it frees up memory for installing programs.
I would like to move all the installs to the miniSD and I don't care how many apps I can run wothout miniSD... I wish only to have from 10 to 30 MB more memory at expence of internal storage quote.
Is there a trick to perform?
default all 128MB are application memory on wm2005
ppl use the ramdisk at buzzdev to make some of that application memory into storage
if you are using a ramdisk you can use a smaller one you can find them at buzzdev

Is there a possibility of using SD card memory for running programs? i write aprogram that need about 20MB of memory for work, but i cannot get enough free program memory....
Any idea?
Thx
Too much memory
I am doing the same, but my program needs about 5MB. I only can think in working directly with Windows CE source code and possibly you will have to remove some DLLs.
Remeber, with the optimized ROM from XDA-devs you can get about 5MB of memory free in ROM. Have you got some idea for getting some more free space, but not as many as you want?

hello there
i found the program memory to be fixed to 50.16MB , and i failed to reallocate it (the slider wouldnt move :roll: ) :? , so , any hint ????
thanks
No, in Windows Mobile 5 program memory and storage space are physically different, so you can't change the allocations.
Program memory = RAM memory
Storage space = entirely Flash memory (used to be mostly RAM in PPC2003 devices).
Just to clarify, which part of the memory holds flash memory that doesn't get erased even if both the Main and Backup Battery run out?
From what I understand, the Ramdisk in WM5 is not the same as Storage on WM2003se?
How has the 128mb ram and 96mb rom been re-allocated?
Also, where do you guys install most of your small apps, in device, ramdisk or SD and why?
i need help i want a way to make my storage for files more than my storage for programs i use wm6.5 pda2k i dont care if i have to downgrade for a while to do it i have no problem but what is an os that makes u change the space of the storage
if there is i would me helped by u giving me the rom
25 veiws no answer :|
Thats probably because you didn't write big enough.

hehe, nice one, spades01!
ok, no one answers, i'll take it.
@almaster:
you are confusing a few things:
you are probably referring to that memory dialogue you had in wm2003 where you could choose the ratio of program and storage memory yourself. that was possible, because wm2003's storage space "\" (like the C:\ on your pc) was actually a RAM drive, and therefor lost, when the battery and backup battery run dry. there was also a 2nd drive, "storage" that had an icon like a storage card, it was 44mb and was persistent, even after you ran out of energy, because it was not ram based but a real memory chip, like in a usb storage stick, that can also hold data without batterys.
the point is: you cannot pick the ratio of program and storage space yourself, because the only storage space you have now, is the old "storage" drive, the 44mb (or in case you resized the extrom space to 128kb and reparted the drive, like 60mb) that old storage, that looked like an external memory has now become your C:\ drive and that ram space you had is now ram. yes, all of it. 112mb, because while wm2003 could easily run with 30mb of ram, you will see, that wm6.5 with titanium and things like that, will easily take up 60mb or more, with customizations or running programs you might get as high as 90mb, and that is why there is hardly any tolerable loss of ram. but if you do want to have a little more space, either look for a rom that has a ramdisk built in of maybe 16mb, then you will have a 2nd drive again, or, if you haven't done it yet, repart your wm2003's extrom, so your basic storage will go up to 60 mb.
if you happen to have done neither so far, at least you will gain another 32mb to your existing 44mb, that is 70% more, and all i can do for you here.

for a wm6.5 rom with ramdisk, have a look for yourself, i just looked in xplode's, sun_dream's and swampy395's rom threads and didn't find any, but they are out there
I am looking thru some roms, and whatever ... i see some that have storage and programs free space. This is just one, the last one i looked at before having had anough of the confusion.
Here is what the rom lists
Free Storage: 224.62
Free Program: 70.83 (Manila Running) 78.06 (Titanium Running)
Total storage on my tilt 2 is 225.93 !!!!!! This doesnt make much sense to me. If i install that rom, i will have all of my internal storage free??????????????????
And my program used will be about tha same as i have now??? Well, with a reboot first
The storage (FLASH) of TP2 (and Tilt2 as well, I guess) is 512MB, what you see is what left after the system/being available for programs you would install in so called "internal memory".
Same for program (RAM) - the total is 256MB (plus 32MB for radio section) and what you see (70MB etc.) is a free memory for programs you would run.
More is better, of course, but who cares on "internal memory" when one can fit a card with 32GB of capacity...?
A free RAM is an issue however, so please judge on it rather when choosing a system to install ;-)
