Hi guys!
Can someone explain me the memory allocation?
I installed sone apps, like PPCProfile-PRo/BatteriPro ecc..., on storage (is it ROM or RAM?) an Acrobat, TomTom ecc.. on StorageCard.
If go to system, memory info I can'd understand the screen... there's an orizzontal slide for sotrage memory and other tab.
I'm trying to move the slide but it comes back to the original posizion...
Can you guys explain me how to read/use this info?
Ok, plain and simple...if ya can change paging poll ya can change device storage...shrinking it...more program memory = less storage...has to be a rom for minisd`s owners...
I'm not a ROM Guru (so don't beat me in the head), but what exactly are you asking them to do? Shrink the paging file so there's is more RAM avalible? If so, how does that translate to more memory, but less storage? As in a WM5 device RAM is no longer used to store applications, no?
I'm just all confused and assuming the ROM Guru's would be too so i'm hoping you can clarify.
no, the paging file is already shrink in most modern roms, i mean the storage memory...the one that shows as internal storage...in my case i install allmost everithing in the minisd card so i have 33mb free of internal storage...i gladly give at least 16mb (or even 20mb) of that to have more program memory...
To be more specific:
settings - system - memory - main: move 16mb from the left to the right column...cant be more specific...
hI,
IS THERE A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO MOVE MBs FROM PROGRAMS TO STORAGE?
what do u mean? do you want to move your installed applications in the phone to memory card? nope! it will corrupt i think, you have to uninstall it then re install it. however, some programs which are related to the system (like helmi dialer) will be automatically installed to phone memory....
and if you mean mem as the old 2003 slider for deviding mem between app and storage then no
that vent away when ms made wm5
maybe progs like DOC or flashdisk can merge extended rom with storage if you need more storage
I mean the possibility, having 60 mb for programs and only 3 mb ffor storage, to move for example 10 mb from the first too the last: the situation will become: programs 50mb storage 13 mb.
from where you get 3 mb of storage and aditional 60 mb for programs, in blueangel we have 60 mb storage and 128 mb ram (so called program memory), or maybe you do not have Blueangel device
Please tell us your device and rom version, and you will get advice
anyway storage is flash and as such have a limited nr of write it can take before it dies
if it was used as application ram it would die very! fast
also why is it ppl want so much application ram?
programs take as much ram as they require the fact that there is plenty left dont make them faster at all
free app ram is just empty doing nothing
also BA has 128 MB ram more than most pocketpc's on the market why you need more ?
the problems is i have installed some applications that must be installed on the device; after these operations i stay with the following indications:
storage 3.68 mb (remaining);
programs 60 mb (remaining).
I'll ry 2 applications i found that could zip and unzip automatically all the files (and applications) resident on the device.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I SOLVED THE PROBLEM
success!!!!
SUCCESS!!!
I HAVE USED : POCKET MECHANIC PRO AND MEMMAID.
tHE RESULT AS FOLLOW:
STORAGE USED DECREASED FROM 98% TO 68% WITHOUT UNISTALLING NOTHINGS.an OTHER USEFULL APPLICATION I FOUND WAS swelldisk.
With this one i succeded to increase as follow:
extended rom from 16 mb to 32 mb;
sd card from 2 gb to 4 gb
Swelldisk isn't the best option AFAIK. Try to find in the forum, that was discussed, and few people lost their data from the SD.

Sounds interesting. Can you explain how you did it.
THEY HAVE MANY TOOLS BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS IN POCKET MECHANICH AND IS CALLED "STORAGE"; IN FEW WORDS YOU CAN CHOOSE A FOLDER/APPLICATION ON THE MAIN STORAGE AND DECIDE TO MOVE TO A SD CARD.
any reference to this original forlder (also registry keys) change their behaviour/pointing action to the new "location"

hello
I have the same prob
I have downloaded the progs you used
I don't know how to increase Storaqge mem. like you did...
Please could you tell me the procedures you followed to do that ?
Cheers
"I don't know how to increase Storaqge mem. like you did...", you can't. You can only reduce usage by careful planning...Install programs to storage card, configure IE cache and temp files to storage card..... Swelldisk only work on external storage.
move the cache and all the avaiable dll to storae card: it works
I found a safe way to achieve the above:
1. Create a folder Sotage Card\ Windows
2. Include this folder name in "path"
3. Freely move any DLLs into this folder from \Windows to Storage Card\Windows
I used SKTools for achieving this. I am not sure which DLLs may be required in original \Windows folder during reflashing ROM, though I had absolutely no problem in reflashing with all DLLs moved, but better to move back system related DLLs back to original path before reflashing.

Cache will be recreated if you move the contents to another location, so you dont achieve any thing, rather waste space on storage card. If you really want to do this, change the registry settings too.
Moving DLLs to another location without declaring location name in "path" is incorrect way.
i tried but i dont know how to Include the folder name in "path"

Use SKTools free demo version
I have been upgrade my XDA2 himalaya to newer wm6.1
in the memory properties i find a Storage Memory Device (internal) Total 14.54 MB.
and have just 300KB free space.
otherwise when i install an aplication, i always check and choice the location to install to the storage card. but my Storage Memory Device (internal) still minus.
and now with memory just 300KB left, i cannot install anything...
and my question, how to Increase my Internal Memory.. or there was otherway to able installing program again.

I have the same problem, can anyone solve this problem??
Thanks if there is...
Hi,
Please refer to this topic (sticky). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332215
There you will see the necessary instructions for increasing the storage space.

thnx pdc4...great info..tried it n it works great
I bought the Telstra version of HTC HD2 and flashed the ROM to version 1.66 with Arabic support. What I have started noticing is that after installing several programs, my storage memory started running very low (now down to anywhere between 3-6MB while my free program memory is >160MB) even though I have setup my Windows Marketplace to install programs on the storage card, temp and cache files are as well as Email attachments are stored on the SD card and actually more than 80% of my program are installed on the SD card but I believe even when you tell a program to install on the SD card, portion of it has to install in the main memory.
My question is what to do about this situation (BTW, I have tried apps that clear the RAM and they work temporarily and, obviously, as I use my device the memory goes down and then I have to re-run that program to clear the RAM again). Is there a way to change the memory allocation between storage and program RAM like we used to do in Windows CE?
Please advise?
