Hi guys

I'm new to all this, just got a Touch Pro the other day dirt cheap which was so slow it was almost unusable. I've flashed hard spl and a rom with Mobile 6.5 rather than the stock 6.1 but sinse doing this the total memory available has changed from 288 to 200 and the % usage has risen to 26%ish before to 42% now on bootup.

Could someone please explain this, do I need to make changes to the pagefile or something?

Also I'm looking for a mobile "msconfig" to change startup programs that are loaded to free up more memory could anyone help me with this?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Unless you're actually getting memory errors or the phone is locking up, I would say you don't have a problem. Just ignore the different values (are you sure you had 288 M of ram; I don't think so). 200 M of ram is plenty, and you should be glad you're using more. If you don't use it, it's kind of pointless. More ram usage usually means things run faster. Trust your chef.

SK Tools allows you to tweak your startup (among many other things). But unless you actually have a real (and not perceived) problem, I wouldn't worry about it. People get way too caught up in the % ram. I don't even use the quick menu any more, and it's kind of a relief to not see it all the time.

You can decrease the page pool with a page pool changer or hex editor. It sounds like you have a 14 M page-pool, which seems pretty reasonable. If you drop the pagepool to 6 M, you have another 8 M of available ram, but your ram% will go up. I'd just forget about it if I were you. Trust your chef.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Like Ted said, the numbers you are reporting are not an issue at all. Be careful tweaking your page pool too much. I use Memaid to tweak my settings and find that the devices default settings, which are the ones cooked in from the kitchen, provide the best performance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] matt09:
Thanks for the replies but the reason I asked is because the Touch Pro has 288mb of ram total which was displayed in Win 6.1 while 200 is reported as the total in Windows 6.5, and the fact the % went up so much reflects the error in the amount of memory detected for use. I know the % don't mean much but it looks like i have 88mb less available to use?

Thanks I'll look into SK Tools.

Cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
I think you're getting the 288 MB ram from the specs (it's the size of the chip, I guess, but not the amount of free program memory); that's not the available ram, though, in use. I have no idea how much free ram I had on the stock fuze rom, but it wasn't anywhere near 288. I currently have 197 M free ram with a 16 M page pool on a 6.5 rom. Your ram is perfectly normal, it's what everyone has. Flash back to the stock rom and see how much ram you have then-it won't be 288. (Now that I think of it, I think I had ~200 M free on the stock rom.)

There's no error in the % ram at startup, either. That is entirely by design. If you want to see a lower number, use advanced config to either lower or disable the caches. Then enjoy the low program memory usage and the sucky experience. More ram usage = better performance. You still have 110 M of free ram at startup. That's more than most devices have in total. Use it. Enjoy it. Don't waste it by not using it. That is my advice to you.

If you don't believe me, just take look at NATF's 6.1 rom vs. his 6.5 rom. He's got 193 M free ram in the 6.5 rom (with a 20 M page pool), and 200 M free ram in the 6.1 rom. Not sure what the PP is in the latter, but I suspect it's 16 M. You can also look up stock or stock-like roms in the rom forum. They're all going to be in the same ball park, depending on the paging.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] matt09:
Ok thanks, I was raising the issue as well because I have a Sony Experia running a similar rom with less memory on the board but it still reports 200mb and it feels quite alot smoother than the htc, and not just with touch 3D, is this the general concencus that experias for whatever reason are faster?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Not too many people have xperias, so I couldn't tell you. Does it have a faster processor? I couldn't tell you why it feels faster. Try some different roms until you get one you like.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] matt09:
The processor is the same and I am using one of the most popular cooked speed roms on here.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] dancer_69:
I've managed to cook and flash successfully my first rom with ervius visual kitchen. Nothing special, just update of official wwe rom with 21054 XIP & SYS.

I get always an error with latest version of visual kitchen, no matter if I changed something or not, and finally I succeed with a previous version from Sous-Chef's Guide.

I tried to cook a wm6.5 with latest 23403 XIP & SYS, found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544445

but now the device stucks in htc mobility screen.

I ported xip.bin with these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4401715&postcount=2

and I created the rom with and without "real wm6.5 aku" checked, but after flash both, the device stucks in htc mobility screen.

I suppose that the problem is with XIP, so needed some editing to make it work?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] dancer_69:
I found the solution!

Because lolite haven't a native wm6.5 kernel it's needed to convert some modules to files.

After I convert Browsing, Browsingcore and Browsingie folder modules the rom boots normally(needed to wait too long to access align screen though).

Hi!

Does anybody have information about the default value of pagepool in Iolite? And where I can find it in *.nbh file?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] mirko.prinz:
16 Mb, U can change in Ervius kitchen by "Xipporterex & Romtools"
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] alvy:
Yes, I found it already, but when building rom kitchen anyway change it to 6Mb :(

In the Build_log.txt I found: "XIP PagePool from: 6 Mb, to: 6 Mb"

Where I can change it in the kitchen?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] dancer_69:
You can change it if you "press Other" and change the number on -PP box.

But as I read, Pagepool is better to be smaller cause you will have more memory. The larger size is for stability when you run a lot of apps the same time, but I think this is not usual to run a lot apps the same time for ppc users.

Anyway, a size of 6-8 MB it's good. Search in forum to find more info about it.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] alvy:
O, thanks, i missed this button :)

I know about dependency Pagepool vs RAM, but Iolite has too much RAM, so as for me, it's better to set default value and forget about it :)
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] alvy:
After Ervius kitchen I have header of *.nbh file like in attachment. Is it correct header or smth missing?

I have no device yet, so i can't check if it is right or wrong header
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] lovinher:
wont it be great if some of the great cookers such as dancer_69 can come up with a tutorial on how to cook a rom.. it would definitely benefit the whole iolite community.. (:
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] dancer_69:
I'm not so good in writing and my english also, and I'm definitely not a great cooker. I just search in the forum to find some tutorials, and also ask if I had some problems and sometimes I get some usefull awnsers from the great cookers.

To be honest, it is far so better to find how to cook by yourself. You will get more knowledge and experience, which help you when solving problems. For example: I also have Vox smartphone and I am learning on it. I got stuck on some stuff, but I solved it by myself and now I know where I made mistakes.

Great tools like Ervius visual kitchen makes all this stuff really easy (sort of click, cook and eat :) ), but you still need to know, how it works. And don't forget that you still can brick your device.

It's there:

http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=269&cat=2&dl_id=651

...but I cannot download it as it requires the serial number of a real Rogers Dream !

Does someone know how those serial numbers are built so that I can guess one ? Or may a cool Canadian do it for me/us ?
[G1 Android Development] anonymoustom:
It won't let me. Says this software is not suitable for my device.

Sorry.
[G1 Android Development] bulgroz:
Did you try with a real Rogers Dream serial number ?
[G1 Android Development] flounderseeyore:
I received the same error message when entering my S/N. However, you can download it off the Rogers website. It wouldn't allow me to run the software until I downloaded and installed HTC Sync, which is also available on the Rogers website. Just a reminder... you will lose your root access once you perform this update.
[G1 Android Development] AverageCanadian:
it also updates your SPL.
[G1 Android Development] bulgroz:
How did you manage to download it if you got the S/N error message ?
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
I can DL if needed.

I have a rogers dream and can download if need be, I'm gonna stick with cyanogen's 4.0.3.1 tho..

Let me know.
[G1 Android Development] bulgroz:
Yes please ! Or just post your S/N (you may omit the last 3 digits, as it seems they are not used for validation)
[G1 Android Development] flounderseeyore:
I downloaded the software from Rogers, not HTC... https://your.rogers.com/web_auth/downloads.asp?product=wireless

From there select software -> HTC -> then HTC Dream Software.

No S/N required.

I downloaded the ROM from HTC website but in the end my phone becomed discolored.

ANy one can advised me how to do it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Advice on how to restore stock rom can be found at bottom of first post on HSPL thread. Its aptly named:

The reason for your discolourization is most likely due to you SPL being incorrect, or using wrong HSPL

Hi, i installed a ROM that change the starting logo from htc (the one that plays a sound). Can i change that again without change ROM. I want to roolback to inicial htc logo.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tom62:
files to modify are Animated.gif and welcomehead.192.png in windows folder !

but I don't have original htc files...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Humblehippie:
You should just have to replace the file in the windows directory. In most ROMs the file is called animated.gif. I have attached a copy of the original logo in the Zip file attached. If you want to change the startup sound, I have attached the original sound file as well. Otherwise, you can do it in the kitchen when you cook your personalized ROM.

Oh yeah, Don't forget to rename the file to the same name as the file already in your windows folder. Tell it to overwrite the file! If it says that it cannot overwrite the file, then the file was locked when cooked, & you're SOL unless you can cook up your own ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] goldfinger01:
it's locked :(, thanks anyway

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] phezthie:
Greetings!!! earlier, i posted a message at Tomal's 8.9 ROM thread regarding the strange TCPMP program that keeps on running after getting my uni out from standby state. aside from tcpmp, i noticed that taskbar indicator was running on its own as well.

thinking that its a ROM problem, i reflashed using same Tomal's 8.9 but after few minutes, tcpmp and taskbar indicator run on its own again.

then, i decided to DOC format and flashed it wit same ROM but no better result. again, i did format once more and installed tomal's 8.81 to check if its just a software glitch since after experiencing the foregoing, easymoney 1.0 does not seem to work properly unlike before.

surprisingly, same problems appeared just like in 8.9 as mentioned above, hence, this thread seeking for your technical opinion guys if what i have encountered is just a software/ROM incompatibility or my uni's retirement will be forthcoming :mad::mad: due to hardware failure.

your opinion on this matter will be highly appreciated. once more, many thanks in advance and more power...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
Hi as far as i remember tomal's 8.9 doesn't have tcpmp ... so did you install the tcpmp after reflashing ???? if not then check your sd card... in sd card go to program files and delete the tcpmp folder (if there is any) see... as the programs installed in sd doesn't get erased when flashing...

and if you did install tcpmp player after reflash try another version of tcpmp...

Hope it helped...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] phezthie:
hi rajiv, both versions of Tomal's ROM have TCPMP bundled in its multimedia folder. at any rate, i will remove TCPMP folder as suggested and check if it will do the trick, tnx again. regards mate :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Can't really delete the pre-installed programs or folders that come with the ROM. Check your startup items in windows and try from there.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
Check the following:

1. \Windows\StartUp

2. Open DF's TaskManager, go to process tab and check the running processes

3. Open DF's TaskManager, go to notification tab and check the entries

4. Do the DOC format twice (i.e., task 32, task 28 55aa, task 28 55aa), then disconnect the battery for couple of minutes. Reconnect the battery and flash a confirmed previously working rom.

If nothing is observed abnormal then HW fault is suspected. If you have more Uni then try exchanging the keyboard membrane....

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] phezthie:
the culprit? SD card

i found the solution to my problem :D:D

earlier today, i flashed using v8.9 (zaxxman). thereafter i removed the sd card after installing the cabs i needed and made a hard reset. since then, i never experienced tcpmp and homeplus taskbar indicator to run on their own. likewise, easymoney is now running perfect.

as it turned out, its not a ROM problem, applause to master chef Tomal of course, and more importantly, such discovery saved me a lot since what i need to buy now is the card and not another unit as i intimated earlier.

many thanks to all... cheers :D

I'm new to WM6 and I'm sure my WM5 Universal let me save cab attachments to my card so I could install them, but my HTC Touch Pro 2 won't allow me to access an attached cab 'for security reasons'

There is no advanced setting I can change to allow me to access them - why do they treat us like morons?

So I put it in a zip but although the received email on my TP2 is the right size no attachment is shown :-(

So I had a brainwave and thought I'd just rename the cab a ms friendly doc before emailing it to my phone - but of course the standard file browser can't rename extensions and I haven't loaded a 3rd party file manager yet (maybe I'll email myself the cab for one....)

Email is far easier if pocket outlook didn't think it knew better :-(

Got Resco Explorer now so email my files as .docs :-P, funnily enough half of then don't show up as attachments on my phone. hmmph

set up bluetooth share folder properly in your tp2 settings. that way when u bluetooth ur cab it will be saved directly in that folder.

U can specify where that folder is, (device or card).

If u install advanced config (search for it here) u can set it to keep the cab after install, for future reference.

Anyone having similar problems or any suggestions?

Tried the Wife's new HP laptop (school issued) last night and had the same problem. That pointed me to a possible card issue.
