[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BBS678:
My AT&T Tilt2, using Energy Rom now:

on the Hardware information tab, I see RAM Size: 288 MB， Flash Size 512 MB，and Storage Size 241.6 MB。

But, on the Memery/Main tab: Storage Total is 241.6 MB, and Program Total is 183.47 MB。

I think the RAM is used for Program, while the flash mem is for Storage. Then, my question is where the other memory is?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p51d007:
If you have a stock rom, the at&t bloatware takes up the majority of it.

I flash mine with a custom rom, which rids the phone of the bloat/crapware.

I also flash to a no manila version, which takes out the touchflo3d graphics, which I don't use, and that gives you more ram/memory/storage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Those Storage and Program Totals are more-or-less the same with most ROMS....not that I've tried most ROMs but a sampling.

For example, on my Valky ROM the Storage Total is 271 MB and the Program Total is 181 MB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BBS678:
I am not using the stock ROM now. Originally I thought it was the Stock ROM that has some function like ghost, which enables the OS to restore completely. Obviously I was wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BBS678:
You are right. But where is the missing memery? What are they used for?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
What is it you think is missing?

The Hardware Information tab also list OS Program Memory under RAM and OS Memory under Flash size. The Memory Main tab doesn't list these totals, but they are in use by the OS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The 288MB of RAM does indeed exist in your device, but the way the OS uses it makes much less of it appear in the Memory dialogue, as much of the RAM is not usable for programs (so there's no point in displaying it). 32MB of the 288MB is part of the baseband, and cannot actually be used for programs. Anywhere from around 8MB to 24MB of RAM is part of the Page Pool, which is somewhat like a HDD memory cache in Windows. In addition, some RAM is used for the framebuffer, the radio stack, and the XIP (OS kernel), among many other things.

There is an article on MSDN, written by the Windows Mobile team, which goes into slightly more detail about how RAM is actually used on a Windows Mobile device. But the short answer is that Windows Mobile uses a lot of RAM for critical, low-level functions which have RAM reserved for them. Windows Mobile decides it shouldn't display RAM that will never be used for running userspace applications, so the RAM displayed on the Memory applet is often much less than the actual hardware RAM present in the device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:

Any suggestions for a free finger-friendly file manager?

I'd like to be able to select multiple non-contiguous files for copy/move/delete. I'm thinking that it would be good to have check boxes, so that you could browse through your files, tap the check box for those that you want to copy/move/delete, then tap and hold to copy/move/delete. Is there anything like that.
[General Questions and Answers] housefan:
Hi on

freewarepocketpc.net

there is a application called The Tool V 1.00 perhaps this one is good for you.

But a application with checkboxes i don´t know...

Other explorers are:

- Total Commander (NOT FINGERFRIENDLY BUT CAN COPY SYSTEM FILES)

- GSlide (FINGERFRIENDLY BUT SLOW- on my OLD 300 Mhz Device)

...
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
The only file manager with check boxes that is finger-friendly (if you set it that way) that I can think of is the new file managing tool in SK Tools. You have to pay for it, but you may already have it but haven't upgraded recently. I wouldn't say it's a great file manager, but the check boxes do come in handy occasionally. Personally, I use tota commander for almost everything.
[General Questions and Answers] Marx2:

I made a tool p835abisplit2 previously for ROM rebuilding, however that tool only fully works for P565 and earlier devices, which has many limitations for P835 and newer devices. So now I rewrite it to have full functions!

Applicable Devices:

- Asus P835

- Garmin Asus M20, M10

Usage:

- Decompiling ROM

1. p835abisplit3 <abi/exe file>

2. If input is an exe file, then a decrypted abi file will be extracted, which can be used with the Asus internal flash tool (Not available here)

3. 13 files are extracted, content on each file is explained in their file names

3.1 txt file is the partition definition, you can customize the abi by editing this file

3.2 OS file is in B000FF format. Use osnbtool -sp twice to get a correct nb file

3.3 EXTROM is a standard FAT Image, you can open and modify directly with WinImage

- Rebuilding ROM

1. Modify txt file as you need (Optional)

2. Rename updated file to their original names

2.1 For building OS file, use osnbtool -extra os.nb 0x8 and osnbtool -2bin -CutHeader

3. p835abisplit3 /b <abi/exe file>

4. out.abi is created, which can be used with the Asus internal flash tool (Not available here)

5. If input file is an exe file, out.enc (Encrypted abi) and out.exe (Flash utility with updated ROM and region patch)

- Warning

1. This tool now is too powerful that you can easily brick your device if you modify the txt file incorrectly, so take care! (However it is proved to work by hdubli)

2. This tool is checked to create identical abi file if you rebuild without touching anything. If this is not the case with your base ROM, don't continue cooking and let me know!

** Please note that if you modify the partition layout, the length of text must be < 24 bytes **

If this post is left too long without updates, you can check new versions at http://www.studiokuma.com/tools/?section=misc-e

EXTROM from P835

Great tool, but there is still one backlog. As tool still cant directly extract extrom resp.ASUS_ROM from P835 (its working pretty well with M10,M20,P565). Even at the end is extrom located in os.nb0. After such impementation it will be perfect tool ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] starkwong:
No, don't trust the tools reports the FATFS at last partition of os.nb0. It is a dummy partition in all new ROMs from any vendor.

As I can tell from the G5 abi, there is no extrom in it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pitp:
EXTROM from P835

You are partially right as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles doesnt contains any usual ext partition.

But how you explain that standard EXTROM files are parts of OS.NB0 ?

Isnt so usual that those EXT files are part of main image. These are typical extrom file, see what I extracted :

P835 is bit specific, as not contains just dummy file for extrom package.

And one more question regarding P835, as you probably know there is problem with relatively small ROM space.

Even I removed lot of crap files, ROM image is still showing same size. Pdocread is showing total 200MB on DSK1.

But available is only 97.18MB.

asus m20 cook rom

Thanks for your good tool, I am now cooking a rom of asus m20 and I have been successed to work out a file called "flash.bin" final, would you please tell me how to do to make it change to say "m20.exe". Or do you have any suggestion eg. use bootloader. Thank you very much. I really need your help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] starkwong:
Firstly, your ROM needs to be extracted by a exe file instead of abi file first.

When you need to build exe file, use the /b switch.

Extract: p835abisplit3 xyz.exe

Build: p835abisplit3 /b xyz.exe

Then out.exe will be the new flash utility with your changes and region lock patched.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jobgary:
Thanks for your answer, I still meet problem even I use your method, so let me give more detail as follow:

1. I have split the xyz.exe with your tool and a xyz.abi and 13 more files extracted.

2. And I also use some kitchen to make a new rom file called flash.bin.

3. I rename "flash.bin" to "Os.bin" (one of the 13 files)

4. Lastly, I follow your instruction to build ie. p835abispilt3 /b xyz.exe, a out.abi will come out

So, how should I do to change this "flash.bin" to become the xyz.exe for flashing. Your help should be most appreiate. Thanks

Hi Stark Wong,

please could you modify p835abisplit3.exe in order to correctly work with M930 ?

See error message :
[Windows Mobile Software Development] starkwong:
I have updated the tool to support longer string, that should fix your issue.

Download it in first post.

To others: You must have the original EXE to form output exe. Just pass the EXE when building, it will read the new ABI and generate a new EXE file. You can't generate EXE when you only get the ABI file.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pitp:
Thanks

Thanks a lot for fix.

Note that even you will incorretly use this tool, nearly always is way how to recover.:D

Swapper ate up alot of SD Cards and probably had a few hundred complaints for broken sd cards. Compcache is enabled in some roms but you'll need a custom kernal installed. Its alot easier on your phone and SD Card and speeds it up more than swapping will.

here ya go man

i've been running this for a few months (since october) and i have no problems.

i use the swap partition, i know if you use the swap file it can kill your card, but i'm pretty sure if you use the swap partition it will last a lot longer.

i have swapper around here somewhere too, if you prefer that.

it works better without the aggressive memory killer settings, for ovbious reasons (the OS only uses swap when it runs low on RAM) so in most cases swap is obsolete.

LG Expo Original/ Official ROM - v10d​

I was seriously unhappy with LG for not providing us an update for so long and lack of base ROM was not allowing us to start cooking ourselves.

Pissed off wondering why I bought my LG Expo at full price and not buy one of those HTC alternatives, today I got down to see if I can scoop some info from their website/ update utility/ etc etc. I fired up WireShark, Fiddler2 and some of tools I wrote myself.

Going thru various network packets, I found a perticular XML snippet that looked interesting. It had a URL that was pointing to an exe called: LG_SmartPhone_SW_Upgrade_GW820_V10d_Ship.exe :D.

Though we are already on V10d and it is not a update for us, it meant that if that path was accessible and I was able to download the file, we will have the original ROM that our phone was shipped with :)

So here are the URL's:

URL1: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdat.../LG_SmartPhone_SW_Upgrade_GW820_V10d_Ship.exe

URL2: http://csmgaic.lgmobile.com/swdata/.../LG_SmartPhone_SW_Upgrade_GW820_V10d_Ship.exe

Once you download the exe and launch it, it starts extracting the phone image. Do not click 'Start Update' button.

It extracts to

%ProgramData%\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\GW820-V10d-OCT-27-2009+0.dz

On Windows 7 it translates to something like:

C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\GW820-V10d-OCT-27-2009+0.dz

With this I think I can say:

Let the cooking begin!!​

Do you remember where abouts in the updater app you were doing stuff when it generated that response? I was inspired by your success and hooked my IQ up with a network tap running yesterday, but I was only able to find a reference to a kdz file, which Dark tried unsuccessfully to extract. :(

I got that url by trying 'recovery phone' from the menu, so I'm hoping there's somewhere else you went to get reference to the .exe and I can do some more digging.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] xdapants:
I got off my duff and figured out what a kdz was and extracted it ... still seems strange to me there's no *Ship.exe but I'm a neophyte. ;)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Brian McFadden:
extracted OK, putting it back together now...

So I got things extracted with imgfstodump, and it looks like everything is in the dump. I had some weird problems with imgfsfromdump, though, but after a few more attempts (this time with ervius visual kitchen imgfs tools) and a re-dump, it created the imgfs.bin. I started with ImgfsToNb, but it gave me an error without writing anything.

I tracked it down to a code problem in ImgfsToNb.cpp, in the sectorSize function. It's looking for the signature "MSFLSH50", but the signature inside the imgfs is "MSFLSH500". The code requires slight modification (to make it ignore the trailing null in the signature):

// find MSFLSH50 header
for(i = 0; i < Size - sizeof(signature); i+=0x100) // assumption: MSFLSH always starts at a sector border, and sectors size is always a multiple of 0x100
{
if(memcmp(Base+i, signature, [COLOR="Red"]([/COLOR]sizeof(signature)[COLOR="Red"]-1)[/COLOR] ) == 0)
break;
}

So, now I have a modified FLASH2.nb, which is as far as I got. I should only need to turn it into a FLASH.bin, through whatever transformations are required...

Within the past week I migrated from the ROM-crazy Touch Pro to a Samsung Moment, and I'm disappointed to find that while XDA has a thriving Android community, there's barely a mention of the Moment. This is perplexing, as the Moment seems to be a very strong device.

I have found the SDX website and appreciate the good work going on over there, but it's a pretty small (though talented!) community. I would expect the Moment to gain more of a following if it were to get more exposure. Is there a reason XDA does not have a forum for this device? How would one go about requesting a new forum?
