Do you have these programs installed on ramdisk, and running from there?

I'm just seeing getting this kind of usuage out of it. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. I don't "see" any extra files on the ramdisk. Are they hidden and only show up in the memory manager?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
willpower102, i was just trying to show what kind of memory (RAM) consumption could be expected when running multiple apps with 64MB of RAM, to answer the question if a 64MB Ramdisk is overkill and would leave the device short of memory. I'm not currently running the AKU 2 test rom. All the installed apps were installed to my Storage memory.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
well.. didn't I remember seeing a backup util in one of tuma's roms? If there is a program to backup the ramdisk to SD I think we're set...

I'd also like to put my input into what I see as a final product. I would hope we will put all of the absolutely required fixes/patches/updates for BA functionality in a BA DEV SAP. This would mean minimum items needed and not any extra software from personal preference. This way we will be able to have a WM5 rom kitchen and add/or be able to custom build your personal ROM. What will we do when AKU2.5 comes? ;)

i am happy to see that there is constant development of aku 2.3 roms

but i have a little question

is there any progress on pocket msn bug ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
I've taken a look at it in the short time I've had without visitors tomight, and there seems to be at least a couple of reg entries missing and possibly some other stuff... comparing it to a ROM which works shows that there are no MSN Mobile entries in the Transport entries for TCP or HTTPS... I've tried adding them in but it still says the Service is unavailable, so a little more investigation is called for...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thingonaspring:
Pocket MSN is a real problem that we simply have to fix. It's present in my variant of the Ivan ROM too, so I'm working on it. Hopefully the fix for both Ivan and AKU2.3 will be simillar.

While I'm typing - many thanks to ktamas for his recent ROM release, I'm learning a lot from it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
I say find a CAB installer for MSN and remove it from the base rom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
Perhaps when he get's the time Tuatara could take a look... he had both Pocket MSN and A2DP working in his 1.4 ROM... personally I'm stumped with A2DP atm, and I've only started looking at Pocket MSN, but it looks just as confusing... apert from the 2 reg entries I mentioned everything seems to be there, definitely needs a closer look.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] willpower102:
@efjay: I understand now. So the system is set up well enough that programs installed will by default cache in the ramdisk? If so then that's terrific. (i haven't relly studied up on how the ramdisk works :oops: )

A little update on my phone usage. I overclocked to 530 mhz and see a minimal increase in the main OS. Keep in mind i have an sx66 (not originally w/ camera). I don't know if that's the problem or not.

So far i've done wifi browsing for several hours, gprs browsing, several syncs, Opening and closing almost all the programs on the device, force killing IE and many other resource hogs when not needed and just leaving the basics running in the background. After a half a day of use the device is pretty much spot on par with Ivan 1.11. This is good and bad, it's good because it has network browsing capabilities and a few other quirks fixed. But it's bad because i was REALLY excited with the initial speed after a fresh install. I mean it was running faster than i've EVER seen it run before in wm5, and definitely on par with wm3. This slowdown from the initial install is noticeable even after 30 minutes of full and complete usage. (accessing all the features, activesync, wifi, IE browsing and sleeping several times)

I think the initial slowdown comes either after the first time the device resumes from sleep and/or after the first time the device leaves activesync.

What do you think is causing it to slow down so much after these?

One main gauge i use is the smart dialing reverts back to being slow. Not NEAR as slow as in the first release, but about as slow as ivan's. So i've turned that off in the settings. Dialing is faster now. Still not as good as a clean install.

@willpower102

Not sure if you've read these, linked earlier in this thread, but they give a pretty good run down of the issues of having a non-native WM5 PDA and the slowdowns etc and the pros/cons of moving stuff around different storage types... not sure if all the hacks are present in our ROM's...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
Just a recap on that link I posted earlier

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=130456

download his reg optimizations and try them out.. I haven't gone through to examine everything in detail but I am positive all of our ROM slowdowns are due to the facts stated in his article.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
helmi.. is it me or am I missing some memory? using the 32mb ramdisk beta rom I only have 60mb or program memory.. shouldn't we be seeing around 96mb?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
really? in the latest versions of ivans it was working fine, this leads me to believe that its not a software problem, maybe MSN messenger servers changed in preparation for windows live messenger or something?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
One in particular caught my eye...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys]

"TempPath"="\\SD Card\\Volatile"

Surely we could set this to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys]

"TempPath"="\\RAMDisk\\Volatile"

to make more use of the RAMDisk?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
so here it is in plain english.. we must store as much data on the ramdisk as possible to keep the filesys.exe compaction thread from running and slowing the system down. yes, the author of that article doesn't reference ramdisk because it must have been written before the ramdisk was available evidently.. but SD memory cards use NAND ROM memory so its much faster than the internal NOR but not faster than it could be with RAM used in ramdisk
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
I used Pocket MSN as a test earlier today when I flashed TuMa 1.4 to get some dll's and reg entries... it worked fine, I then reflashed helmi_c's 32MB Ramdisk (which is actually the 64MB version Black6spdZ! Don't ask why!?!?) and compared the reg entries etc... there were no MSN Mobile TCP or HTTPS Transport entries on helmi's ROM so I added them, as they were the only difference I could see straight off, but no luck...

from http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/03/16/552996.aspx#577350

"all new WM5 devices are required to use persistent storage, but we gave OEMs the right to do RAM based storage on upgrade devices (devices that they upgraded from WM2003 to WM5). However, that's an OEM decision and not something an end user can change"

so, could we trade speed for persistent storage?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
Most of those tweaks are already in Tuma 1.3, including moving filesys to the ramdisk - they arent really new, probably just need to be added to the new beta roms.

Also the MSDN articles is basically saying use a Ramdisk - use RAM as storage memory.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
I'd be willing to superglue my SD in place if it the ROM image could be booted from it and was significantly faster.. but I assume the bootloader would have to be modified?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Black6spdZ:
I've noticed my phone slowing down recently so instead of just doing a hard reset I uninstalled all the software that was previously in ROM and re-installed it to the SD. like a fresh phone again and very fast.. minimize the writes to the ROM and it won't slow down...

about a2dp, has anyone tried this?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
Yeah, I think it was originally posted here... I assume the cab they mention includes the dll's and reg entries from the xda-dev post...

This 'fix' gives the same issue as every other one we've tried so far, available as service, but not available to select/activate...

helmi_c and I have been talking 'offline' about this and comparing reg entries/services/dlls etc to see how TuMa got it working there seems to be more differences than I first thought, but it's a pain trying to sort it all out.. as far as I can see, if we can get the BtA2dpSnd.dll to be an 'active' service as well as a 'builtin' one then we should be half way there, it just doesn't seem to activate once the pairing is complete :(

Adding RAMDisk?

Okay, I have been using Helmi's ROM for a while now and love it, but I'd really like the full storage space (90+) with the 32MB RAMDisk... I want to try and build my own ROM with the apps I always install already done, I have downloaded the RAMDisk CAB from the FTP site, is all I need to do add that to my ROM or do I need to edit anything else to prevent storage conficts etc?

And if I fail miserably (quite likely!) is there anything I can do to free up the missing 32MB in Helmi's ROM?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cso5874:
Just so you know. I have tested it with the Exchange Server (Push), and it works now. The SSL certificate checks in fine, and it works. I get push email from my work exchange server with no problems.

Just thought I'd share... I have not tried MSN, and maybe later...

Thank you!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cso5874:
MSN works...

Okay.... I also checked to see if the MSN would work, and indeed, I can log into the MSN Messenger in the Pocket MSN.

So... Hmm... There was one more thing that I placed in the certification... I do not know if that was the kicker that helped out with Helmi's ROM, but I am going to include it here, since it is just a certificate root for Verisign.

Re: Adding RAMDisk?

no idea how to make the ramdisk bigger but I know how to get the 32mb back as program memory. it involves hex editing the unencrypted NK.nba. 0x207c14 from 94 to 96 and 0x207c18 from 40 to 60.

I have upgraded, and I am pretty much satisfied with the new rom. I had a hard time connecting to GPRS, but then I aded a few CAB from my original 2003SE Operator customizations, and it worked. But it is still weird.

What happened:

I tried to manually add the settings. turned out I simply couldn't put in all GPRS connection settings, because my ISP uses a proxy, and there was simply no option to set up a proxy under 'My ISP'. I can only set a proxy under 'My Network'. So, I was a bit disappointed, because without GPRS I would have to rollback to WM2003SE.

Then I tried to gradually install stuff from the original EXTROM. I copied my extrom backup to a new folder, and firstly I removed the APPS I knew would have nothing to do with GPRS (ClearVue etc). Then I procceeded by looking at the customizations which had a chance of being connected to the connection settings, and added 4 or 5 packs. this is no even 30% of the full contents, there were many packages in there.

Turned out one of the packages automagicaly added the operator connection settings, and maybe added something to the system which would cause it to work.

Bugs:

Only after the first boot after instaling the extrom cabs I could see my connections @ the 'My ISP' under 'connections', and saw the option to configure proxy to 'my ISP'. after another soft reset, those options disappeared from the menu again, and the GPRS config does NOT show up, but it IS registered *somewhere*, because I can connect and browse. I alsso can't add another connection with the same name, the interface finds the other connection, even though it does not display it.

I am thinking of hard resetting and installing those cabs again, one by one, and try to connect each time until I find the minimum packages needed.

Overall, an impressive result. I have already installed the apps I was used to, and I find it even faster than when I was using 2003SE.

Kudos to Bepe, Helmi and all the others too!

How to localize someone elses's ROM

I have tried to build my own ROM following bepe's procedure, and it looks like working, but there are bugs in my ROM that I can't solve.

So I tried to use helmi's one, but it's a WWE ROM, so I have to reinstall the Spanish cabs and files over it to get a half-Spanish ROM.

Is there a way to use someone else's ROM and just use the LOC package with it? I mean, can I take Helmi's ROM and just apply ESN AKU package over it (or even some packages I would like to be in it)?

Or the other way round... Is ther a way to decompile the whole ROM just to add things you'd like in it?
