[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phoenixcg:
Hi All,

I recently bought a touch pro2, it's running windows 6.5 and also has HTC sense, i stopped using sense and it free'd up 10mb on the program ram, however it was so buggy without it, for some reason, i enabled it again.

I have total 187.02mb Ram

in use: 136.99mb

Free: 50.03 mb

usually the free ram goes way down when i run an application, i currently have no programs running.

How can i increase the free space? I thought uninstalling programs and installing them onto my storage card would help, but it didn't. I'm new to the phone after a well deserved upgrade (it's been 6 years lol) I love the phone, however it's just a minor problem as sometimes it crashes and I have to take out the battery to start it back up again.

Any help would be appreciated.

I understand you can get Custom Roms, however I am quite happy with the stock, but its vodaphone, i don't know if theres any bloatware, lol and i like the facebook and all the softwares it has. I only want a minor tweak not expecting miracles, but maybe 10mb more or something on average.

Also I'm running the stock rom which is 1.86.161.0 I understand there is a newer one out, will thsi make it any faster?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
You might have a memory leak somewhere, I generally idle around 57% and only hit 75% (50 mb free) with multiple programs open. You might have an issue with one of your programs causing a memory leak, what exactly do you have installed?

The new ROM may help out a little bit with your RAM usage. Also, SSK Dynamic Resource Proxy and NoPushInternet should help out if you want to try those before the new ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phoenixcg:
right now im running at 74% and this seems to be the norm and even running into 80% if i open skype. basically if i open any program like camera asin 1 program at a time as well not multiple at one time, it regularly goes to 80%, I got no pushinternet, i even had cleanram, removed that cas didn't help that much as it would always go back to same old 74%, havent tried ssk dyanmic resource proxy. I am trying that now.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phoenixcg:
that seems to have done it! thank you. I reset the device afterwards im running like 4 apps and its on 60% brilliant :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kenichi:
You can also try this CAB, its not mine but I use on some ROMS, it improves a decent amount of ram if you would like to try it.

Hope it helps,

Kenichi
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
Sweet deal, glad to help out :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phoenixcg:
trying that cab out as well, loll if it helps more, why not haha.

amazing its running at 55% with skype...wow haha, that feels right now.

Any idea if this would improve battery life, because if more apps were running surely it was using the cpu more or something?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kenichi:
I believe so, mostly I remember from the thread (forgot where it is now) is that it lowers much of RAM, but I am guessing the battery life will go up a little bit more but not much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phoenixcg:
that improved by a percent so every little helps, hmm, the phone is on 60% anyway with wifi and 3g on all day, and plus pretty constant texting and email plus skype usage, so thats pretty alright, might try to push it tommorow. constant skyping, see how long it lasts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kenichi:
Alright, I haven't been able to find anymore RAM tweaks that really improve anything, I'll post here again when something that works out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
I tried all of the above but I'm still sitting at 70% usage while idle =/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
What ROM/Carrier?

Also when you continue to cache files for quick load your RAM will go up and stay up. Read the thread for joker's cab there is a lot of info about how your phone caches files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kenichi:
Well Demonic240 you have to be running Manilla 2.5 or something to have such a big amount of ram running at 70%, although I have no problem with that what so ever because all your programs don't take that much RAM. If you were to have such problem with RAM then just switch to Titanium or even less RAM the windows menu screen.
[HD2 General] roteplex:
Hey guys just got a slick HD2 from Tmobile, and I wanted to check out Coreplayer. I started playing a few WVGA videos with decent bitrate, and towards the first 10seconds video played fine than started to lag and drop frames, then when I skip to a different part, it plays smooth for another 10secs than lags. When I run benchmarks, the video scores 120%.

I am using these settings for optimal playback.

Tools:

>Settings:

>Video:

Video Output: DirectDraw

Video Quality: High

Smooth Zoom: On

Dither: Checked

--

>Direct Draw:

Uncheck Both “Overlay with colorkey” and “Use blitting instead of overlay”

Check “Use device stretching for blitting”

Overlay format: YUY2 (or RGB to enable Dither)

--

These settings give me best visual quality, tell me if there are better settings.

However, the above problem occurs, in many different configurations.

I believe the process priority is the concern here, I think Coreplayer auto ranks up the priority during benches but doesent seem to do so while playing, most likely to conserve battery life.

I was reading a long time ago about a program that increases process priority in Windows Mobile, and was hoping that it may do the trick. So can anyone lead me to the rite softwares???

---Edit: I tryed to change the priority but it is always set to highest, in benchmark mode and in normal playback. Does anyone know what could be the problem.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I think those are pretty much optimal. (RGB overlays are definitely slower than YUY2).

Try putting the phone in "airplane mode" and then rebooting it; that sometimes helps. If it's doing something like checking for emails in the background it starts to judder badly.
[HD2 General] mr-green:
if core player has a buffer size setting try setting it higher try setting it to 32864kb. or do what i do and use TCPMP for videos. it has that setting and it works great for all vids. oh and its free! search the forums for TCPMP if core player ends up not working for you.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
I've found that CP benches don't mean Sh*t, I can get 175% in a bench but play it back normally and it still drops frames
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Yeah, the benchmark obviously displays average frame-rate; what you need to know is the time taken to render the single slowest, most complicated frame.
[HD2 General] sancmat:
If I choose DirectDraw my device.exe locks up. I have had to stick to GDI. I only drop 1 frame every 300 to 500
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
That is probably because you are not using the other settings correctly: YUY2 overlays, etc.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Selecting DirectDraw alone will make CorePlayer crash. You need to make sure you set all the other settings in the 1st post too and then it runs much smoother than GDI.
[HD2 General] mdmhd2:
It seems that my phone is more responsive without tactile feedback.

It's just me?
[HD2 General] KowboyBebop:
It sure does slow the device down. Mainly while typing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jwzg:
Alright guys, while cooking a ROM based on the Rhodium 21854 build, I'm getting everything to work but bluetooth which is thowing an error "bluetooth hardware not installed on this device. Other than the obvious "it's not installed" can anyone tell me if they've had this issue and if so, how did you fix it? Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jwzg:
Never mind. The Rhodium version of 21854 does not have BT drivers in the SYS folder because it uses the widcomm stack.

[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
There is 2 methods to flash a TG01. In any case, you will need to Fully Charge Your Battery. The 2 methods are, the so called "pin method" and "sddl+ method". The PIN method may be performed also with a half-bricked TG01. The PIN method CAN'T RECOVER a full-bricked TG01 (no ROM at all, or a full corrupted one).

This tutorial is based on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654299

SDDL+ Method

Unrar SDDL.rar, place the files into your SD Card.

Create a folder called PRG on your SD Card.

Place your ROM (.tsw) on the PRG folder.**

Execute the SDDL+ at your SD Card to initialize the flashing.

**Note: Sometimes the SDDL+ Reports file not found, in this case, you may need to rename the rom to "TG01WP_00.tsw". After this, the ROM should flash properly.

Link SDDL: http://t0a.duyet.com/SDDL.rar

PIN Recovery Method

Create a folder called PRG on your SD Card.

Place your ROM (.tsw) on the PRG folder.

Rename your ROM extension from (.tsw) to (.enc) at the PRG folder.

Remove the SIM Card

Remove the black plastic tab under where the SIM lies

Replace the battery

Secure the battery - use Velcro cable tie, rubber band or sticky tape (vital it does not fall out while Flashing!)

Short (connect together) Pin 1 and Pin 3; then press the Reset Button

Hold for 10 seconds or so; then release

Turn phone over and should show white Flash screen in progress until completed and says Successful - Rebooting

Shorten pin Method Picture:
[TG01 ROM Development] bib*oops:
Nice post, thx...
[TG01 ROM Development] coolkat:
a small note..

i successfully bricked my phone today :P and was trying this method for the first time and it didnot give me the white screen so i switched on the phone and while it is at "toshiba" screen, i performed the short/reset procedure and now its loading. hope this helps for ppl who cant get this to work.

also for shorting the 1 and 3 pin, use a stapler pin.. its short in lenght so not much resistance
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Shorting Pins Jumper

I would strongly recommend NOT using any form of steel wire or implement to short Pins 1 and 3 when reflashing....

The contacts are only thin plated copper pads on the main circuit board and are not intended for repeated prodding with a hard implement.

Instead, I recommend:

- Get a short length of stiff copper wire (eg. out of a piece of mains cable)

- Cut to a suitable length so you can hold comfortably

- Bend back each leg on itself so that you have a nice rounded end to press onto each pad - think of the end of your stylus compared to a pencil.

That should allow repeated use without causing damage to the PCB tracks :)
[TG01 ROM Development] Alucard24:
Please, someone post a videotutorial :confused: .
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Short Pins Illustration

Sorry, I don't have enough hands to do a video of the procedure; however hopefully this picture will help....

The jumper 'tool' is not essential, but I have found really helpful when repeatedly recovering a half-bricked device. The stiff copper wire can be bent to exactly the right angle to make comfortable to hold just in the right place and set to the correct gap to match the contacts on the PCB. The folded ends ensure that there is a nice smooth surface touching the contacts and minimal risk of damaging them.

Hold the wire loop firmly in one hand, press onto the contacts; then press the Reset button with the stylus using the other.

The Velcro cable wrap or a rubber band or sticky tape is vital to ensure the battery doesn't fall out when you turn the device over !

[TG01 ROM Development] Laserek_Poland:
As for methods.

1. SDDL much better. You cna change firmware version but cant use if device not starting

2. PIN you have to know which ROM version you can use - cant change variant.

Making back-up

Hi! I don't want to make another topic so i'll ask it here.

I can't find how to make backup of ROM. I don't want to lose my warranty so it would be best to make it.

I know how to make backup for HTC but im not sure what to do with TG01.

Could someone give me solution?

If there is topic i had not noticed then sry about it :D
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
if you need the warranty, you can flash back the orange stock rom :P

[TG01 ROM Development] nectons2000:
hello

i bricked (i thing) today my tg01.

Please someone help.

I tried to change rom with sddl+ and for some reason stacks at boot with the toshiba logo stacking there.

Well after this i was try with the shorted pin method. Everething worked great except when it finishing download the rom it says rom saccessful download and STAYS there forever :(...

It supposed to say Successfull download - rebooting... But never seed sutch a message :(.

It says ONLY successfull downloaded and nothing else!

When i try to rebooting by my self anyways goes to toshiba logo and the toshiba logo flashes every 2 second and forever without anything happent.

I can hard reset, i can flash any rom i want, BUT never booting. All the time stucks at toshiba logo :( I have try 3 different roms (the 2 ones only with the pin method because it cant boot) and i am despered...

PLEASE friends someone helps me ?
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
flash stock rom 2-3 times until boots. If that doesnt work, send the phone to toshiba with a stock rom arguing the phone died while updating :P
[TG01 ROM Development] nectons2000:
...

Ok. I ardestand. BUT.. how the heck is possible to starting always flash and successfully done it but after the restart stacks at toshiba logo and flashing every 2 seconds? If it was completely dead i will had a blank screen or not booting at all..

It boots, it hard resets id flashes perfect at every try. But after restart stays at the flashing toshiba logo. So .. it is not completely dead i thing.

Anyone have an official tg01 6.1 rom to try again? I thing the problem is with the roms maybe.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
I would suggest DL the latest WM6.5 ROM from the main Toshiba site, complete with the official SDDL.exe and try flashing that. It sounds as if there could be an issue with your copy of SDDL+ If that gets you back up then get a clean copy od SDDL+ before continuing.
[TG01 ROM Development] bird_9527:
My t01a bircked as well half a month ago, and the condition is just like as you, I can download any ROM sucessfully, but I can not boot and open to system with only the backlight lighting.

if you put out the T-flash card,and connect to PC with usb cable,you will see that PC need you install DL driver-------this is the latest discover so far.

and.....my bricked T01A is still in my package quietly....if you find anything pls kindly let me know.

SDDL+ just resets my phone

Hi

When I run SDDL+ it just resets my phone.

I have a TG01WP_00.tsw file in the PRG directory.

After reset it has been renamed to TG01WP_00.enc

That's it. No error, no file not found, no new rom.

Please tell this noob the error of his ways.

--Edit--

Does it maybe have to be in a specific directory?

When i use SDDL (the one without a +) it goes to download and says theres an error restarting the phone.

If I wanted to try flashing the latest Malaysian English Language ROM with the updated radio version, would I be able to do it using this method ?

I tried by just using the files in the update (TG01_SDDL.exe and TG0110_5005180028TSW.tsw) but it said it was the wrong variant for my phone (mine is originally an Orange UK handset).

Thanks.
[TG01 ROM Development] captainp:
Hi guys. I have a question(maybe obvious :D ) :

Which method is safer to flash your TG01?

The sddl+ or pin method?

Thanks in advance.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
From repeated experience, I would recommend using SDDL+ as the normal method; the 'short pins' method in the event that you end up half-bricked (ie. get as far as a boot to the Toshiba logo, but then hangs).

Using SDDL+ avoids the risk associated with having the back off and the possibility of the battery coming adrift while flashing. If you have to use the short pins, then do ensure that the battery is retained, either with tape, rubber band or a Velcro cable tie.

Hi All

Can anybody help, i have a offical orange uk rom in the phone but when i try sddl method to load cooked roms i always get invalid varient or file.

Whats the cure to try differant rom. It loaded the last update from the orange site perfectly.

[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
@doliver55, Can you confirm you have SDDL+ and NOT the original SDDL ?

Makes all the difference.

Hi all

My Toshiba is dead after flash via pin , black screen and no response, nothing at all,

It's any chance for my phone???

I need help

Cheers
[TG01 ROM Development] Dodge0069:
The SDDL+ method did not work for me. Mine came from UK.

I used the pin flash method.

It should be noted that with the pin flash method, after you hold reset for 10 seconds, you need to continue holding the short on pins 1 and 3 while powering on the phone.

Broken Toshiba after trying to flash by pin method

Hi there, I read some post about flashing toshiba by pin method. Ok.. I removed the sim card, put the batery back, short the 2 pins (1 and 3), press the reset button while shorting the 2 pins... and nothing happend.

Then I read a post from someone who got stuck just like me, and he said that to solve the problem he shorted the 2 pins and pressed the reset button right after turning on the device (while the toshiba logo appears on the screen).

I have done exacly as him, but in my case, my TG01 died... nothing happend when I try to turn it on or when I put it to charge..

[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:

thanks
[TG01 ROM Development] voodoons:
SDDL+ if you can boot into OS

Shorting PIN if TG01 can't load OS
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Precisely.

Just make absolutely sure that:

1. If using SDDL+ you don't insert or remove the micro USB plug between activating SDDL+ and the while bootloader screen showing 'downloading' in progress.

2. If using the short pin method you physically restrain the battery (tape, rubber band or velcro cable tie) so it cannot come out while the download is in progress.

[TG01 ROM Development] mirolg:
for normal flash rename ROM-File as TG01WP_00.tsw then start tg01_ssdl+.exe from PRG Folder.

for normal flash you don´t need the ShortPin method. the pin method is only if your phone not start. then you rename the ROM-File as TG01WP_00.enc. shortpin 1 + 3 hold this short, then press reset. hold the short 10 sec. then the display go on.
