[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] double_ofour:
Look buddy! the first thing to do is to relax.. look at your post, check the spelling.

with regards to you question.

Yes! you can still revert your device to 2003SE if you didnt like the 2005 and also yes again it is 100% safe when you install a rom coming from here. If anything goes wrong when you are upgrading just go to bootloader mode then reflash again.

Gudluck!

DOC partition

Just a (scary) thought.

What if the 16/16 meg partition on the 32meg DOC is a hardware thing?

Maybe to change this you need to connect to the flash chip itself and send flash commands?

It maybe possible to write a PPC app to do this, but i doubt it.

Does anybody know anything about the DiscOnChip used that could look into this?

Buzz, do you think this is likely?

Ok, I think I know what we all want from ram, back me up people if you agree,

128meg ram, split into 2 64meg partitions, 64meg Running program memory and 64meg "ramdisk" as before, for general storage when no SD is inserted.

32 storage (whole DOC) for program storage and installation etc.

Having the 128 ram for running progs is great,but that only leaves us with 14.6 meg of "free" extrom to use for copying files from SD to SD etc. That isnt a lot you know!

I do a lot of sharing of files, pics and videos etc with other xda/ipaq/ppc friends and not having a large storage built in for when i remove the SD would be a problem.

Phone speaker too loud

(I've a Qtek 2020)

Comparing WM2005 to WM2003 I've notice that the speaker is too loud. (I've already set the volume to the lowest level and the speakerphone option is off).

Any suggestions? :idea:

Is it possible to change the phone speaker volume scale (I would like to set a lower volume level)

Hi all,

I've one important question:

I'm using 2005 Buzz f version.

Since then I can't sync with my PC using cradle and ActiveSync 4 (only with bluetooth connection).

It is possible to update to this new 160 rom using cradle? Must ActiveSync detect the 2020 or the rom installer will install even if AS don't work?

Please help!

Thanks

Hi....

One question...15 mb to install apps is a little space. I can install some applications in the sd card but others must be installed in the device. Any idea?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rictec:
i dont think it uses activesync

himaupgrade doesnt use activesync i think

so you can upgrade using the cradle

and yours doesnt work cos of some anti-virus or firewall in your pc

you must have activesync 4 instaled

Re: problem with storage memory

you are right, I am facing the same problem, I did a quick look around and i noticed not much difference of the version 1.50h, I am not sure if there is a good reason to stop me going back to use the previous version,,,,maybe Buzz can help us with this issue :wink: [/img]

of course you can always unlock the extended rom and use it for applications installation
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superxx:
Thanks Rictec,

I remeber something... change cradle from PC to notebook and it works (both have XP sp2 and Mcafee 9 but PC has Winroute firewall and notebook has ZoneAlarm)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] defroster:
This kind of brings me back to my original question..

"Why?"

Can someone explain what we are achieving with this upgrade? What's the use of 128mb for programs to run in if there's no room to install the programs in the first place?

I know I'm just being ignorant but it's gotta be asked :)

Re: DOC partition

Nice thought.. but I think it's better to join all the 128MB ram, and try to join the two 16MB of storages to one 32 MB storage entry..

And if you want an extra storage of 64 (or any size you want), run a ramdrive program. This makes it a lot more flexible on if you want a ramdrive and what size it should be. Maybe Buzz can rewrite it's ramdisk tool to use program memory instead of the dissapeared ram in the early versions (who thought I would say this a month ago)

I have unlocked the ExtROM and try to install the software there....but that's not quite right cause I can only have 14M for programs anyway....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AlanJC:
I'm going back to h :(

I can't install a few apps such as TomTom 4.4 (the voices won't install into extended ROM or SDRAM) and Pocket Chat.

There are more, but for the added advantage of NVRAM persistant storage I would need more space.

Maybe 1.60b with all spare NVRAM merged to get 32mb would be OK for me as my base install to the device for everything I use on 1.50h was only about 25mb.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rictec:
well its great

i instaled only my importante files to the 14 megas Storage and the all rest into the SD card an its working

my Backpack Cf card still doesnt work so i will eventualy be back to 20003se

but for now its fast and i will kinapp BUZZ to make him put the BACKPACK CF storage to work for me ;-)

as for you guys, you just have to be selective and put in storage the importante progs leave the rest to a storage card and memory will serve you very well.

i will use this version until GOD BUZZ realeses a new one (CF included) or

thanks BUZZ
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
I think, that some of you guys are bit confused now by \storage, RAM, persistent storage etc...

i'll explain it later, when i'm gonna have few minutes free...

meanwhile, if you feel, that there's no space for installing apps, please install ExtendedROM unlocker for 2k5 and RAMDisk.

then to get a feeling of major change, please run your device, till batteries will be empty....

then once they have no power at all, connect the charger...

buzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
Ramdisk

Buzz, does this mean we can use the 64/96 meg ramdisk prog on this version to get a ramdisk as well as 64 /32 meg program memory?

Wont this crash things (because windows thinks it has 128meg ram for system now) ?

Do we need a new version of ramdisk program?

How about a "dynamic" ramdisk that just grows to fit your files, and shrinks when you delete (leaving remaining ram for program memory)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] melvincz:
You should use your Extended_ROM (another 14MB for apps). I mean it's quite cool to have a lot of memory for running apps. Have you notice very very fast startup after soft reset or starting as many apps you like without loosing the space for other apps?

This is why we have that - we have a lot of space for running apps. Buy a SD card if you like to have more space as a storage for installing apps. And don't forget persistent root. No more troubles with empty batteries!!! That sounds like a miracle.

I love this version! Himalaya was never as fast as it can be since today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qianbi0000:
I think BUZZ 1.60a installed the OS on storage so we can not see it anymore. The problem is strorage size is really small we have to install many programs on EXTROM....Hope 1.60b can combine storage and EXTROM so we will have enough space for program installation....Dear BUZZ please correct me if I am wrong...

I used RamDisk to install Adobe Reader 2.0, but when I soft reset my device the appliction disappeared, it happened to me 10 minutes ago,my advice is to go to the extended rom unlocker otherwise go back to version 1.50h
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dherrero:
well, i have unlocked the extended rom so i have 16 + 16 mb to install "critical" applications. The rest of them (tomtom, games, etc) are installated in the SD Card. For me is enought.

It seems than tomtom5.0 works nice with maps version 3.90. When i try to use the last maps (V562) tt crashen often....

Same problem here. Can't get into ftp :cry:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AlanJC:
I'm not confused by this, and I will probably update again once I have time to reinstall everyting to ramdisk properly But...

TomTom 4.4 voices will not install to extended ROM or SD card, only to main, and I had already filled that with other things.

I didn't have time to find out which apps will only work on main mem or ext rom etc, and installing and uninstalling to get a happy combination.

I can life without persistant storage for now, I have never had it before, so 1.60a doesn't give me anything over 1.50h other than messing with a ramdisk ;)

It's great you have done it, and as I said earlier, if the extrom and storage can be merged, it will be great, but until then, for me, 1.50h is easier.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RaNmA_:
Memory

Ok.. let me explain everything about memory. But correct me if im wrong.

Currently, we have 128MB RAM, 16MB storage, 16MB Extrom.

Ppl who confused Y only got 16MB to install the program...

Ok, what changes in this version that, in version H. Storage has 62 and program have 56.34. But Buzz have combined them together there for make it 128MB.. where you CAN INSTALL your application in there..

As for 16MB *Storage*, it has replace the Storage under the 'settings/system/memory.

So you have another space which is extrom 16MB which u need to unlock.

Persistant memory, if im not wrong(*correct me if im wrong) its based on 128MB, means, even if battery is flated, everything will STILL be intact.. no loss of data or program.. *unless of cos, hard reset with the format storage option*

lastly, Buzz, correct me again if im wrong..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zabes64:
Ok be this a stupid question, but if I have lets say 20mb in ringtones that I want to save in windows/rings am I still going to be able to store that 20mb as part of my 128?

I know I could put it on the SD, but i dont want to, I swap SDs alot for music or for my maps etc. So that's the big Q for upgrading, am I limited to 14mb of storage or is it split sort of like on 150h?

Thanx for all the hardwork Buzz!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
Wrong, sorry.

The 128meg RAM is NON permenant. Its volatile. It goes when the battery does.

The only permenant storage is the 32meg flash that is divided into 16meg Storage and 16meg Extrom.

The "Storage" folder has been eaten by Windows, it maps over the windows folder to give read/write space for installation of programs and data.

The 128meg ram is now all allocated to system ram, or running program memory, like the RAM in a PC.

The remaining 16meg Extrom is still there, as its always been. It seems its quite hard to touch this partition!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RaNmA_:
Memory

I do know RAM is a volatile memory...

But thats what "persistant memory" comes in... where they are able to make memory in RAM to be in place even thou battery is flat?

Maybe lets wait for Buzz to clarify this...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
"But thats what "persistant memory" comes in... where they are able to make memory in RAM to be in place even thou battery is flat?"

This is not possible.

Ram is Ram, there is no software upgrade in the universe that can change the nature of the way it works, no battery, no ram.

The term "persistant Memory" relates to the fact that WM2005 used the Flash for memory instead of the RAM, the ram now only being used for working system memory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] karlitos_:
i've readin all recent post and ok, i understand that storage now is mapped on rom so is not volatile, right to here. but i need more space por apps so if i installed them in the RAM, it would be erased when memory is out (as is in past version, isnt' it?) would be erased on soft reset?, and more important how can i install apps on ram, coz i only have the option to install on storage and storage card, (i suppose that if i unlok my extended rom, would have extended rom also), any1 knows?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
ok friends... ;o)))

i'm decided now.

I will make another release with different settings and with partially persistent feature tomorrow.

I never thought, it would make so big 'noise' here...

buzz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] IMate->WM2k5:
Here is my vision of this (haven't yet installed new version):

1) 128MB of RAM can be used as for Storage of Programs as for Running Programs (remember our Memory slider???) but when battery drains the stored programs will be vanished

2) 32MB (extrom + storage) can be used for Storage of Programs ONLY but when battery drains everything is Ok

Now the question: What about Windows Settings? Are they shared with 32MB space?

If I got hard-reset and my Windows Settings resetted why do I need the persistent storage then? Or buzz has modified registry to load/write hive from/to persistent storage?

THx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] karlitos_:
buzz just whising... would it be possible to have other unit like ram disk or so, so u can decide which programs u put on the persistent memory and which not??

just askin :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michael_llewellyn:
Hey buzz i just want you to know that i LOVE the thought of 128mb as RAM and combined 32mb (storage+extrom) as persistant storage. If people want something else then they should use win2003se! or even stick with 1.50h!

Buzz is bringing us magneto AS IT IS SPOSED TO BE!! HAIL KING OF KINGS, BUZZ!!

I'm dreaming of 1.60b -

128mb RAM (who says that you dont need that much?! i can think of many ways to eat that much :D :D )

32mb storage (thats enough for me - anyone who doesnt have a decent SD card shouldnt be using 2005 anyway as they obviously are not committed to the XDA II experience. all pictures, music, documents etc should be kept on an SD card along with large applications eg games)

clean, simple, and FAST! more RAM = more SPEED!!
