Hello everybody. I want to know if there is a way (a methode or a software) to create virtual memory on the SD Card and use it as RAM memory (like the swap file in Windows XP).I'm using the WM6 FAMAN 4.03 beta3 ROM.And thanx
no the current ce5 based roms which include wm5 and 6 dont support virtual memory and nor does ce6 which wm7 will be based on it's deep in the os how
mem is handled
also sd have very slow writes compared to hd's
also sd's have a limited writes before it dies like cd/dvd-rw discs
Thank you for the answer.if there are no way to use swap on wm6 so are there softwares to optimize and free the ram?

Hi,
has anyone ever tried to insert an SDHC (High Capacity) memory card in his/her Prophet?
Will the OS (WM5 or WM6) recognise this medium or will there ever be drivers for this type of sd?
Doesnt work ... use search function ... possible some on make a driver or not ... nobody knows more!
You mean There is No Driver For Prophet ??
I download x500 Driver, But it Dosent Work
SDHC is anything over 2GB right? I have a 4GB SD running in mine.
The card doesn't specifically say it is SDHC, but it is certainly 4GB. OCZ is the brand of the card.
I'm using a non-SDHC 4Gb card and it works fine. I don't think you can get higher capacity than 4gb without going to SDHC but I've not heard of a working Prophet driver for it.
4gb
4gb is the cut-off point. You can have sdhc 4gb cards, or non-sdhc 4gb SD cards. I have a 4gb(at least 133mhz) one from the company 'CnMemory' which works great.

Not the driver is the problem. I think the hardware is not reading those SDHC. I've also tryied. I've buyed an SDHC 8 Gb but i only use like a portable memory because i cannot use inside my Qtek S200
I read MSDN and i found that we need to recompile or patch the sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll
But may be HTC also modified a SD Host Controller for understanding only SD 1.1
In this case we should modify the Host controller driver.
P.S.
The SDHCdrivers from Artemis and x500 - dont work on s200
The only last thing I want for my Neo after getting the Big Storage ROM is the SDHC compatibility, after that my Neo is the pefect working PPC Phone!

As I understood, the controller function is on the TI chip itself in Prophet.
This should mean that HTC cannot have altered it.
(there are SDHC compliant phones which use the same OMAP)
Wouldn't it be possible to find a patch the same way as the Artemis people (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332445) hve done it from a machine with the same chip ?
there is an sdhc driver for eten x500 throughout the net. i tried it on my prophet. but it disables wifi functionality. moreover, i could not test it since i didn't have any sdhc card at hand.
wi-fi don´t work
Hi
I tried use sdhc.cab in my S200, and now wi-fi don´t work. Then, I need original files sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll (WM5).
Thanks

Yes but with no wifi, did sdhc work? Please let us know.
i'm both disgusted and confused...
j/k
whenever I put in my transcend 4GB card my prophet gets all messed up... I'm not sure if the card is SDHC or just plain old SD, i'm kinda a newbie, but would really be interested in figuring out how to get 4GB on my phone, which was formerly an Imate JAMin.
Thanks all...
Have you tried a different ROM?

... SDHC or not... may be you can read on the sticker of the Memory card.........
actually, mine 4GB (SDHC) micro SD, still works nothing on my prophet~~~~~~~
8gb just perfect
nobody will continue to find a solution on using sdhc in this phone?
hoping....

The hardware doesn't support it... It's possible to use certain drivers that allow 4GB cards to be used as they don't need the double length address bit that SDHC uses, but any more and you need different hardware.
My Prophet does not read 4GB SD cards
Dear All,
I found that some of you are able to use 4Gb SD cards in your Prophet. Currently I am able to use a 2GB micro SD card with an adapter for my prophet. How can I use a 4GB micro SD card in my prophet. Is there a special driver that I need to install or anything?
please advise
I just tried a 4GB sdhc card and it doesn't work with my s200...
Since Mamaich has been able to make our universals capable of upgrading the ram memory to 128MB, is there any chance for upgrading the Flash ROM as well (to 256MB or more)?
Would really like to hear whether anyone is trying on this?
Cheers.

There is no way!
The MDA has no place to add 4 Memory-Devices!
The other way is to install 1GBit Memory-Chips. But this does not exist (which are compatible to the pinning and funktion of the original chips)!
So the limit is 128MByte.
The PXA270 can address up to 1GByte. But the MDA can not use it.

Hello all,
i have a idea about doing something that would give a huge amount extra space for our phone and possibly could speed the device up.
THe idea is loading parts or the whole windows system from the internal storage.
has anyone ever tried doing something that goes to this direction ?
Please share your opinion.
greetings alphazero
You mean executing from storage (so it does not have to be run from RAM/Pagepool) ? WM 5/6 can do execute in place (XIP) from NOR based ROM/Flash. I am not sure what the Diamond has for it's base 256MB "ROM", probably NAND as its cheaper and writes a lot faster.

so you think its possible ?
Depends on the base flash type of the Diamon 256MB ROM. Also remember that the read speed (even with NOR flash) is a lot slower than RAM
It's a nice thought, but I think that the performance boost will not be what you expect. A few extra MB's of RAM will not make the device more usable. So to be short: don't spend time on this. Make fast ROM's instead
Hi,
I have an 8 GB micro SD for my P3300, but it doesnot work.
Can someone give some help?
Thnx
Format it to FAT32
tryed it
(format FAT 32)
Didn't do the job.
Any other Tips??
Supports your artemis SDHC? If not >try install this SDHC-Artemis.cab (119.4 KB) if you have WM 6
and check this thread.

This will help for sure!!
I have installed SDHC-Artemis.cab (119.4 KB) and now 8GB HDSC card is working on my Artemis [HTC P3300 - windows 6.0 pro]!
Im yet to do performance benchmarking but by running media and other files i felt it is as fast as my old 1GB card.
~~~ Thanks a lot for the patch!
Steps i have followed:
1. copy this patch to Pocket PC
2. Switch off and Remove existing card (if any)
3. Boot and install patch.
4. Using desktop computer/laptop, format the new 8GB card as FAT32
(and copy all media and other files you want; its faster )
5. Switch off and insert 8GB card.
Hi,
Re-checked, just install a Kingston 4GB SDHC and the process works perfectly.
.... Thanks ....
SDHC upgrade from 2Gb default to 4Gb - Success
As a newbie around XDA Forum, I have been searching the Net and most other place for ways and means to improve my beloved Artemis.
This is one way that works - first try. I have attached a log, for other noobs to follow. (I may be a noob here and on other WM // PDA / WinDev sites, but as to my age, am 42 and moving on rapidly. 90% of IT that I know and have applied over the years, have been self taught. Currently employed as Wireless Network Engineer). For those who need to improve these (P3300 - Artemis) devices, do this, follow these steps, you will gain lots of space - now I will load apps on my device and test performance.
Main reason for much needed extra space, I run some apps which require MS .Net CF2, others .Net CF3 / 3.5. Owning this phone now since September 2008, I have discarded the TomTom, mainly use GoogleMaps, various other gps related apps, to log trips, visits and pinpoint sites - very accurate re : up to 28 digit grid reference, altitude, speed - horizontal and vertical. Also quite handy for FTP, RemoteDesktop, Skype (relatives in UK and Denmark, friends all over), WiFi, RAN network Benchmarking -{still trying to find an app that works more scientifically on WM6 - one that does not require a Nokia, although I like my N78 as well.
Before I forget and maybe go to bed, Thanks to POF, tom_condon, binuvs, indiacam, juliuscezar, Shady313, and many more members here and over at htcpedia and dhakamobile. Your insight, experience and willinness to provide comments are appreciated.
I have surfed, searched and FOUND. Now to cook my first ROM....
regards
My logfile of the process is not uploaded... I will gladly supply it to any newbie who wants the process explained in simplest steps. If you can read and use Google Translate, it will be easy - 25minutes or less.
regards

Hi There
If you download this great rom (touchflo 4 WM6 Pro) it recognizes an 8Gb card with no problems. The main display only shows up to 4Gb not sure why but you can use all 8Gb of it, and it shows up as an 8Gb in the memory settings.

Hope this helps for those after more storage.:

Hello
First,thanks to all for all the work about htc developement,great job here in all forums
I have a question about hermes:
hermes not have enough ram to run fast some apps,for example like Opera 9.5 ...
My question: it's possible made an rom ultra light,without(for example) windows internet explorer,windows archive explorer or another of the basic inside original WM roms? will be possible do it or only external apps not from microsoft? will be possible have more than 32 or more free ram at start with ultra nacked rom or do it?
if I'm installing all possible apps on SD I can gain some extra ram than incluided on inside coocked rom?
Excuse my bad english.

if you want more than 26 27 mbs ram free memory so buy a new device jajaja and if you want it on 6.5 you will not see it but as this guy says wm6.1 or 6 is the one for you deleting that apps will cause many issues cause all the files are needed for some others apps..
so try to read more associations and connections betwen all apps in windows mobile...

Thanks for answer
No need to run WM6.5 for me, with 6.0 or 6.1 is more than
enough because I know that the latest version for the RAM
of this model is frankly inadequate.
What I mean is whether it is possible to cook a ROM without
explorer, no games, etc. .. ie what would be the maximum
possible theoretical Ram then add by cooking
which I really used to me.
O see on the link that write me before on 55 page that lite version have 31 MB free??
Use CUSTEL V2.5 which is the more RAM you free me
has left that I found. around 30mb free

Good for spain!!!!
