Please help me...

I am new to this forum so before I begin I just want to thank all of you for all your amazing work. I've successfully downloaded Wk5 and installed it onto my XDAII. I have also downloaded and installed RAMDISK. ALL VERY WONDERFUL PROGRAMS/MODIFICATIONS!

I'm a little confused...I tried reading through the different threads but could not find my answer...

My question: Is RAMDISK (be it 96mb, 64, or 32) volatile memory or is it persistent? this thread http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=131306#131306

says that it is volatile...but the current thread I'm posting on seems to imply that it is persistent (i.e. survive soft AND hard reset).

My RAMDISK gets erased everytime I do a soft reset!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

On old version of wm2k5 where the 128 Mo was not used , the ramdisk is persistant memory

but on new version (1.60a & 150f01.FRE) , the ramdisk is votalatile because the total 128 Mb of ram are used by the device as ram and the ramdisk is a part of this ram ...

Is there a benefit of using the old version of wm2k5 or should I stick with my current 1.60?

help in uninstalling RAMDISK

Can anybody tell me how to uninstall RAMDISK...I've already removed the program from my XDA and have soft reset the machine but still there. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Running XDAII with WM2k5 v. 1.60a.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] buzz_lightyear:
if you have storage space problems, you'd better go for 1.50i.xx version, where xx is amount of Program memory...

That means:

Program memory - 128MB = Storage memory size

buzz

no storage 14mb?

helllo bro buzz, i have already upgrade my xda II to wm2k5 rom 1.60c 96mb ram and ram disk 32 mb...as i saw the screenshots above, there is storage, ram disk, and storage card folder in your explorer and also on the next screenshot...but why there isn't storage folder in my explorer and after i install ram disk 32mb, that ramdisk appears as storage in my explorer...

i wanna ask you where did that storage folder (14mb) gone? coz i've backup my contacts there w/ xbackup...and now when i try to run xbackup, it appears to error...why was that?

how to create that storage and ramdisk folder in your explorer as the screenshots show?

thx bro.... :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] buzz_lightyear:
well...

sorry to dissapoint you, but

1. xBackup doesn't work on WM5

2. the Storage folder you see here is coming from one of first WM5 releases, which weren't persistent. now those 14mb are used as filesystem root \

3. if you had anything in the storage folder and you've installed 1.60c, then it is all gone - erased, because Storage partition was formated by the system at first boot.

sorry

buzz
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] suwandi:
can i have wm2k5 like yours?

:cry: Ohh...what a bad one..thx bro b4 for your reply.

1. can i have the wm2k5 for my xda II that have the storage (14mb), ramdisk (96,64,32mb) and storage card in my explorer that i can used to stored my data? like the screenshots below? coz wm2k5 i used now didn't have storage (14mb) and the ramdisk i install appears as storage in my explorer (i download this form tofclock)....

2. also can i have the manual pls? and other software softwares that's supporting it?

Hi all :-)

I've figured out some interesting issues with this new version...if you unhide and unlock the EXTROM before installing the Buzz RAM Disk program, the RAM Disk WON'T appear on the Memory settings, neither on the FS Root. You 1st need to hide and lock the EXTROM BEFORE installing the Buzz RAM Disk. Another interesting subject, is that the EXTROM once unhided and unlocked, gets renamed from "EXTROM" to "Storage"...

Keeper 8-)

Am I missing something, i cant find the actual link to download the Ramdisk cab?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] unapproachable2kx:
Well done Buzz!

We are really interested how do you achieved this..?

But this is not really a solution for our problem,this memory is not used like RAM for program memory.

Also personally I am interested why this RAM used like storage is not missing files after Hard Reset,like you said?

Only because it is formatted like storage?

It would be better if there is a chance to format Ramdisk to RAM,or port OS to Ramdisk and use Storage like RAM.

Can we actually configure how much memory we give to Program memory?maybe in a registry key?

Any ideas?

Hi All,

First, thanks Buzz for the hardwork!

Need to clarify some question.. ..

Does this work on XDA 2 with WM2003SE or it will only work in WM2005?

And this will means, anything save in RAMdisk will still be there even its hard reset?

If it work on WM2003SE ... Some how it can't work for me.

Name for EXTrom had changed to "storage"

what is my fault?

thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] buzz_lightyear:
a little bug...

Hi...

there is a little bug (or feature) in OS...

Some theory 1st:

There are two SDRAM chips onboard of 64MB size.

Somehow OS does autoformat the first partition only.

That means, you'll be able to copy up to 64MB into current 128MB ramdisk. When it reach 64MB it will freeze your XDA2.

Therefore i RECOMMEND (for now only) to set

[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RAMdisk]

"Size"=dword:4000000

that means 64MB size to prevent locking up the device until i'll find a solution for it.

Do not forget to reset your device WITH A SOFTWARE eg. reset.cab found in the sin_merged threads on wm2003SE.

Guess everyone is busy with teir machines that's why forum is dull? Here are some tips for low tech guys like me.

1. after soft reset, if your phone signal says no network, just tap on the send bttn and close again to wake radio.

2. during hard reset use record bttn to toggle through the options, and camera bttn to select yes/no

hello all...

I *think* that i've found something quite bad with this RAM Disk... I've installed Pocket Mechanics (which allows me to format partitions with different FS tables and clustering size) and i've used it on the RAMDisk, changing the cluster size to 1K and i've also changed the partition type to FAT32 (im not shure...i dont recall quite well). Knowing that this app made by Buzz, sets the RAMDisk cluster to 512 and the partition type to FAT16 (i think), the partition doesn't appear anymore. I've tried installing a fresh copy of windows but it doesn't work. I'm going to do a hard install but i don't think that it will solve the problem, since the ram isn't used in any way by windows 2005...
