Hi guys,
I was wondering..... can we delete the content of the extended rom and use it as extra storage space like the xda mini?
There is a trick to get extra ~10MB via registry hack on Extended_ROM2.
Do a search on this forum to find that post, as I found it here.
This is not possible, with the Unlock Tools you can only view the files, but the extended rom is protected. You can test it!!!
(Sorry for my bad english)
There are no tools to unlock the artemis external rom at the moment - if you mess with it with the reg edits and tools on the forum you risk loosing the contents of the external rom or the whole external rom may become corrupt so needing a reflash - so beware. On my inspection of the external rom i believe its only 2mb (i may be wrong) in the orbit not sure about the other models so not much to gain anyhow.
it is bigger than 2mb, because the German O2 Extenden Rom (you can find it in ftp) is 4,6mb.
i belive its 7-10mb
only 7 to 10 mb? i cant believe they loaded loaded 20 plus mb of sh*# on the mini with less storage.
Hello!
From what I assume the Ext_ROM is about 16 Mb. When you look in Settings -> System -> Memory on the left side it shows Total 48 Mb (Datastorage? mine is german!). So its likely the entire storage is 64 Mb, ~48 Mb Data and ~16 Mb Ext_ROM.
On the T-Mobile MDA the extended rom is less than 2mb of which only 400k is used.

Hi all
Is there any way to relocate a part or the all Storage Memory to Program memory on the Universal?
No. They are two different modules now(RAM and ROM)
Ok If I'm not in error the Universal have 64MB RAM is it? Why then there are only aroynd 50 visible in windows? 14MB are missing somewhere? Is this missing space used for the Page pool? And fot it only or are there other thing running there?

mainly pagepool
Is this Pagepool sometning like the swap file in Windows?
And teoretically specking can the pagepool be moved to elsewere? Let's say empty Extrom?
After installing the original WM6 Ita Rom, I had only 5 Mb left of storage space, so I decided to strip Tomtom from the extended Rom and having the install files on sd, this is the results after installing Htc Home and other programs:
Archiviazione Programmi
Totale: 45.71 Mb Totale: 47.90 Mb
In uso: 19.77 Mb In uso: 25.64 Mb
Disp: 25.94 Mb Disp: 22.26 Mb
I prefer to Use the original Rom since is very stable, and radio is optimized for Italian overcrowded networks.
Here are the files: Rom & Tomtom Install for sd

Thanks to Dutty for NBH tool
and Dark Simpson for htc Rom Tool
and to this wonderful forum
Thanks orsom...useful version
Tested and working like a charm
Your idea is good, but why don't remove totally Extended_ROM???
My rom is build starting from original HTC, removing Ext_Rom and upgrading something, but it's ever the original rom (stabile and fast)
Removing Ext_Rom storage comes to 53-55MB total and 50-52MB free...

Hi cesconoa, is just another way, then (hint of infido) shift navigator folder from main memory to sd, and edit its shortcut properties
Hi,
Is it possible to increase the program memory space?
I have installed alot of software on my mini-SD card but there is still only minimal space for the program memory?
Cheers

If your looking for Program Storage, then a bigStorage Rom is what you need.
If it's more Ram for program usage, then look for a "lite" Rom and search for program to change Pagepool to 4mb. You could try 2mb, but I would recommend at least 4mb with a lite rom. This should give you about 30mb before you start installing stuff. Then use Schaps Advanced config 2 and change the file cache to "Auto". Good luck

Cheers Fellas!
Will take a look and see what happens!
before i begin, i would like to know from us, how many program memory's left in our devices?
I have the last Bepe's ROM (0.97 Premium) installed, and some small programs on the intern main memory, they don't really use so much space and i don't think they are the reason of my memory lack, my program memory shows only 22,1 MB memory free, what about your own values...?
What can be the reason for having so a memory problem
I have noticed that most of the ROM developers don't include detailed information about the memory use of their ROMs.
usual values:
after a restart: 37 MB
by using TF3D: 28,86 MB
by using TF3D and some programs: 22 MB
Since you have the Diamond with 4Gb of Internal Memory, why not use it to install the programs?
The speed difference is barely noticiable and you will get more out of the machine memory.
Nevertheless make sure that you are not running some programs in the background. Try to make a soft reset and check how much memory you have immediately after the restart of the mobile. This is the maximum memory you will have.

the 2 Programs installed on the main memory are not bigger that 900 Kb, it could not be that problem how i've said it before. After 2 restarts i obtained 37 MB, but i mean is still to slow....!!!!
Any ideas, about what can i do without to reflash again my device..??

Are you running TouchFlo3D?
This is what is in Bepe's description of his Rom. As you can see without TouchFlo3D you have "only" 64Mb, since TouchFlo3D takes around 25Mb, this goes to the 37Mb you have.
Code:
# Premium Edition boot up memory
* RAM: 64.28 MB
* Storage: 115.92 MB
That is without activating TouchFLO 3D
My suggestion, try another Rom, Dutty's V1.5 is great, or check if Bepe has a more recent one.

I'm running TF3D but the memory values never arrive the 40 MB, just 37 MB by the restart, but it drops immediately to 26 MB when i scroll around the TF3D surface.
Actually I'm using BEPE's ROM because he released a GER version of the ROM, i was thinking to try with an original HTC ROM, but I'm not sure if i do it by now (reason time)
he say that , if you want to free some memory, you need to DESACTIVATE COMPLETELY TouchFlo3D ... without that, you can't have more free memory available.
hey guys...
I use BEPE's ROM version 0.97 Premium GER, too.
I've got no Problems with memory since flashing...
My Diamond runs now for a few hours, TF3D, ActiveSync and little tools are running and i received some mails and worked with it.
I've got TT7 and some little tools on "my device" installed.
After scrolling trought all Tabs of TF3D I already have...
78mb free file storage (Datenspeicher) of 122,91mb
41,84mb free ram (Programmspeicher) of 111,36mb
Everything runs fine and much better than the original old O² ROM

on swiftbl 5.0 rom I have 57meg free, ver nice,fast rom
if u have also tweaked your device that will also cost you memory data. If u tweaked the file cache and also other tweaks that are above 2 MB you have to add them also with the totaal used memory because the tweak uses the program memory so therfore always concider that in mind and also any tweak with cahe files !!
hi,
my kitchen is based on Anryls WM6.1 - 19212 German Kitchen
the problem i got on my manila ROM (its a BS) is the RAM or Program storage,
when i put a SD in the slot i loose 9% of program storage
(program storage with no SD is 24,69 MB / with SD 20,56 MB or less)
so how can i fix this in my kitchen ? need minimum 22 MB with Storage card !
i need some registry settings or else that can help me, plz

When a device has a storage card inserted, it'll always consume more RAM however, that's a bit too much. As a work-around, have you tried changing the pagepool to help increase the RAM?
no, PP is always on 4 MB in my ROMs, but now i had turn off my OEM Pack "Storage Manager Settings" from Starbas64 Big OEM package release this do not work well to the RAM of my ROMs. I had try without this, now it is with no SD at 23-24 MB and with SD on 22 MB after 1st boot, after i add my apps i used my hermes more then 8 h i got with SD card 20,78 (i used in this time : W.V.D., youtubeplay, TCPMP and some other apps), i think for a manila2d ROM with BS (thx to joshkoss for the BS-NonBS pack) its ok or is there something else to do to get more RAM ? i think i was too sleepy at that time, 36h i worked on this for my final release

try removing office and you might have a little more ram.. also be sure bluetooth audio gateway's are turned off.
can you try
using my boot RGU from my xip for 21109 attached here. and if that has same also try xip for 21109 attached

ok i try it later today, thx
do u mean the 21109_XIP 1-18-09 from ur kitchen thread, i'm right?
EDIT: i used "Change Rominfo On first Flash screen" from ur tools but "by josh" is no changing to by S4 -_-'
you can get rid of IrDA and others, too:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Carkit]
"Flags"=dword:4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\IrCOMM]
"Flags"=dword:4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SerialIR]
"Flags"=dword:4
and then you can play with cache settings in boot.rgu...
Next thing is to make some XIP modules from regular exe, dll and mui files - it can really give you some significant amounts of RAM.
@josh
had used ur xip 21109 and ur bs files works great(dont removed office and onenote but HTC Opal vol control and large titlebar[+3 MB RAM] ),after first boot free programm storage is with no SD in slot 24 MB and with SD 23,xx MB, internal data storage is at 39 MB, thx
changing the ROM-Info on first bootscreen works now

Edit: after i used my device 4h (install apps &co.) free program storage is a bit lower than 23 MB it is 22,73 MB, add extra oxios memory if i need more RAM
