HTC Universal Flash ROM Memory Upgrade

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.

[Idea] Windows Mobile partitially loaded from Storage

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

Flashing ROM 1st time - need some advice please

Hi
I've a HTC P3300 which I bought 3 months back. It came with Windows Mob 6 Pro on it. But its kinda slow, on a hard reset, it shows free device memory as just 25MB out of 37.36MB and Program Memory is hardly more than 20MB free out of 47.90MB. The product page on HTC site says ROM is 128MB & RAM is 64MB in the device. So I'm a bit confused, I got it from an HTC dealer & its not branded or locked to any carrier.
1) Is this due to the current default Windows ROM on device that these numbers are so low?
2) Will using another Windows ROM (maybe a Vanilla one) will use less space on device & keep more RAM free? If yes then which WM6 Pro or WM6.1 Pro Vanilla ROM is recommended? I would also like .NET 3.5 compact on it, shall I install that seperately myself?
3) How can I backup my existing Windows Mob ROM so that I can later put it back on the phone to make it in the same condition as I got it from dealer?
This is my first Windows Mob phone & I've not flashed a ROM before. Any help would be most appreciated.

I've already gone through the Wiki yesterday before I put the thread here. The wiki has answer only to my 3rd question about backing up the existing ROM but it has no mention if I'll be able to install it back the same way any other cooked ROM is installed ie., by connecting to PC via Active Sync and then executing the EXE file in the ROM folder on PC.

Does no one here feel like helping out??

1) The numbers on the box are 'total size' and they are calculated in multiples of 1000.
Just as with storage media. The computer on the other hand counts in multiples of 1024.
This means that 64MB on a label is in reality 61MB. Some of that is reserved by the OS so you can not see it and some is taken up by various services and apps that run on startup.
As for the ROM the '128MB' (122 MB in reality) is both the area available for storage and the area taken up by the OS (were it is installed).
So the numbers you get are pretty normal.
2) There are some minimal ROMs that reduce both storage and RAM usage and improve performance.
3) Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the procedures for your specific device and with the ROMs available for it. I recommend you look in the forum section dedicated to it for more information.

Thanks for the replies levenum. Your reply to #1 pretty much confirms what I've read here hanging around & at some other places, though at first I thought that there was some problem with my device with it showing just 40MB out of 128MB!!
I'll look around for procedure & ROMs.

for me this ROM is very good and fast for me.
two stuff :
- QuicK GPS doesn`t work
- problems with leak of memory....
do you know somebody how fix the problems with memory?

this rom is slow it eats alote of ram the ram always stays in the start 62 or more %

If you haven't a lot of ram you can change the pool size yourself, easily. It will be a little more slow but you will have more memory
Tools are in artemis section

is this rom more fast than this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502210&page=10

This rom is the best 6.5 i've tried. It still fast and useful with 80% of ram load. This version of 6.5 is the more pratic that i saw. One default : batery drain it's expensive (2 days max without wifi & BT)...

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!!!!
