Blackviews's current generation of devices (9300/8900/n6000) are marketed as the first cell phones to market with solid state batteries. There are some Youtube videos with pretty insane endurance tests.

If this is correct, it stands to upend the industry as not even Apple/Google/Samsung have solid state batteries in their phones.

If true, well done Blackview.

Ive decided that this might not be so crazy as it sounds. This was originally discussed here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=350002&page=15

Consider this: http://blogs.msdn.com/ce_base/archive/2006/10/30/What-is-Virtual-Memory.aspx

Now direct your attention to this part from the above link

<QUOTE>

Windows CE will “demand commit” pages, meaning that it will usually delay committing them until the last possible moment. There are also some cases in which Windows CE will take committed pages out of memory again, returning them to “reserved” status:

* Since DLL and EXE code can easily be re-loaded from the file system, it is often decommitted.

* Memory-mapped file pages also have well defined files to read from, so those are decommitted as well.

* Thread stack can shrink; if the system is very low on memory we’ll scavenge the top pages from a stack if the thread is not currently using them.

* Heaps can shrink; if the system is very low on memory we’ll check whether there are heap pages without data in them that can be decommitted.

However that is where Windows CE stops. Other operating systems have a “page file” in which they will write other pages that don’t have corresponding files, notably:

* Stack

* Heap

* Allocations from VirtualAlloc()

* Memory-mapped files that don’t actually have files underneath them (CreateFileMapping with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)

* The writable data of executables (global variables)

Those operating systems have algorithms to decide that these pages have not been used in a while, and will write them to the page file and decommit the RAM. Windows CE does not have a page file. We’ll demand-commit to delay committing these pages as long as possible, but once they are committed, the operating system won’t page them out again.

So, as you see, virtual memory in its most minimal definition is just having a mapping between virtual addresses and physical addresses. To lay out allocations in the address space in an efficient manner and avoid wasting physical memory on unallocated address space. In more practical terms, we also use the virtual address space to implement paging, avoid wasting physical memory on allocated addresses that are not actively being used.

Here is another interesting article.

http://blogs.msdn.com/ce_base/archive/2008/01/19/Paging-and-the-Windows-CE-Paging-Pool.aspx

Consider:

<Quote>

I’d like to explain a little more about memory management in Windows CE. I already explained a bit about paging in Windows CE when I discussed virtual memory. In short, the OS will delay committing memory as long as possible by only allocating pages on first access (known as demand paging). And when memory is running low, the OS will page data out of memory if it corresponds to a file – a DLL or EXE, or a file-backed memory-mapped file – because the OS can always page the data from the file back into memory later. (Win32 allows you to create “memory-mapped files” which do or do not correspond to files on disk – I call these file-backed and RAM-backed memory-mapped files, respectively.) Windows CE does not use a page file, which means that non file-backed data such as heap and thread stacks is never paged out to disk. So for the discussion of paging in this blog post I’m really talking only about memory that is used by executables and by file-backed memory-mapped files.

</QUOTE>

In short,people are comparing transflash speed to ram speed,realizing there is a vast difference and deciding it wont work. The fact is,the OS is already using virtual memory. It is just not using the transflash and it is not paging certain structures. It still may not be possible,but I think its going to be more of a matter of getting the OS to handle it rather than a speed thing. The quick easy and vastly oversimplified requirements would be to some software on the phone that would create a paging file,manage that file so as not to wear out the flash to fast,and do all the back end work necessary to swap them in and out. What is not clear is how much we can use machinery the OS already has.

Im now going to go into the realm of unsupported speculation. Could we perhaps have a program that manages the paging file(we will call this the page file manager). Its job would be to create a virtual file system inside the page file. Then we could set the pages that are ordinarily not pageable (through some magic algorithm that knows what we REALLY want to not page,and what we can get away with paging to the file) as pageable. I imagine we set them as "file backed" and allocate a virtual file inside the paging file.(our page file manager would manage this for us). The machinery of the OS might then handle all the paging for us. Of course the fact that these structures are writeable would be an issue. Writes to a page would cause an exception and the modified page would be recorded in the virtual file system. Like I said however,this is very early speculation,not even to the level of a plan. In short the idea is to take data structures,make a file for them somewhere,and then make the OS treat them like any other file backed memory page. It sounds almost plausible,doesn't it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] pflatlyne:
Still more speculatory rambling. I imagine the paging file manager would manage the list of free pages in the page file that are allocated to files and the free ones that can be allocated. It would also manage the order in which they are used,to spread the usage around as much as possible to extend the life of the flash card.

It would go something like this. A data structure is to be paged. A virtual file is created in the paging file,allocated to the size of the data structure to be paged. The structure would be copied to the file and the pages uncommitted. A read to the virtual memory pages would generate a exception and ultimatley cause structure to be reloaded. A write would generate an exception and cause the file to be updated. Page_file_manager would handle this. It would allocate the next available block to the page. It would then update the file allocation table to reflect the replacement of that block in the file and release the original. Of course this all really depends on the internal structure of windows mobile.

check out the cabs provided by Spencepu3 ( 4th post from the top)

to remove the softkeys you need a program called dcinobar.exe. Once you download it just put in on your device somewhere and make a shortcut to put in your windows/startup folder and it will run every time you start your device. to get your softkeys back just delete it

And to remove the tray icons ( namely the battery and wifi icon in the tray) go to windows/startup using file explorer and delete wifinit and initray that should get rid of them.

I think epimazzo may have included this option in his KhanX lite V3.1 rom. I am using the rom now - and there is no bottom tray or soft keys.

Either that - or I did something wrong during install.

The soft keys are still working - but do not appear on screen.
