Probably this is a an old topic. I've read numerous post on weather this 576mb is real or just a trick and the logic behind it. Now it seems this is indeed a real thing but I couldn't find a good post comparing the increased ram vs the old one.

My question is does this actually improve the performance? If so, how come some chef here are still cooking not utilizing the increased ram? Or is it like many have said that releasing the hidden ram actually slow down a little due to the fact this "hidden" ram is exclusive used by certain process to speed up the system overall?

thanks
[HD2 General] jan-willem3:
Well it doesn't increase the preformence since the 448 mb is al more than enough. It actually decrease the preformence a little bit but that is also depending on rom. So its only useful when you 15 apps running that together is using more than 150 mb of ram normally that never happens. So the hole trick is only useful for

-very very exclusive situations

-To show your friends he you see I got now 270 Mb free.
[HD2 General] justwonder:
How come it decrease the performance?
[HD2 General] dashrink:
I read somewhere on this forum that theextra ram is allocated for some graphics usage, and i think that this is what he means...
[HD2 General] silvscorp:
has anyone actually done some sort of bench mark comparing the increase ram vs stock one? Graphic test in particular.
[HD2 General] Ti3noU:
No difference to minimal difference in graphic performances from user experience. It's not noticeable.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no the graphics 128 is already taken before the OS alocates the rest. You cant touch the graphics 128 even with the 576 hack.

When 576 is enabled, you still only have 448 to play with, just like when it is not enabled, and you have 448, you only really have 336 that you can use.
[HD2 General] silvscorp:
Based on what you said, so the 576mb hack is really just displaying the numbers out? With this hack, even it shows 448mb available, you will get maxed out after 336mb. Is this what you are saying?

There is a thread some one made a 448mb page pool and HD2 can still boot up. Doesn't that mean the 448mb can be used freely if needed?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no, what i am saying is if you get a stock hd2, and look at the hardware info, it will show 448MB Ram total, and when you look at total program memory, it will say 336 (or there abouts)

Thats because there is 448 MB Ram, and 128 is taken by the graphics, leaving 336 for the system to use.

In contrast, if you activate the 576 hack, in hardware info it will show 576MB, and in total program memory it will show 448MB for the system to use.

Again, this is because the graphics takes 128MB
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
I just want to ask u all who think 576 is a trick a question, why do all the chefs here enable 576 in their roms? Are they not smart and intelligent enough, than most of us, to know that 576 is not a trick?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
You have to use one of the T-Mobile US Base Roms and use certain radios to enable the hidden ram. Some chefs may use different base roms. It's not really a matter of deciding to enable it or not.... it just depends what base rom they want to use for their rom.
[HD2 General] jan-willem3:
About that decrease wgere I am talking about it is something that windows have to adress more memory. Thats why it is slower. Well actually it isn't a very huge decrease.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Smaberg did create some rom with new base but have 448ram.

Let me quote some for u to read:
[HD2 General] silvscorp:
I am definitely believing the 576mb is real and just want to know the performance difference and reason why HTC wants to hide this part of ram
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
there wont be a performance boost. Putting more petrol in a car doesnt make it go faster, and likewise more ram doesnt make a machine run faster UNLESS you are already maxing out the available ram, which none of us are.

Personally on roms with the hack, i use the extra memory to run a ramdisk with opera and system cache on it, and that gives a few benefits.

1 - when you soft reset it is wiped and rebuilt, so your cache folders dont fill up all your rom.

2 - Opera especially definately seems to run faster with the cache there. (especially compared to using the sd card for opera cache)

3 - you arent using rom or sd card space for teh cache folders.

as to why it was hidden, , , who knows? there have been a few tentative reports (nothing confirmed) of more echo/sound distortion in calls using the hack, so perhaps the radio utilises it? (I dont believe this myself, i see no difference between with/without 576 roms, but it has been put forward as a theory once or twice)
[HD2 General] jan-willem3:
@ above me yeah that is correct;)

Maybe in the beginnning they got issues with it and they wanted to release it fast so they decided to give it 448 mb. This is very good possible since first roms only contain 320 mb of ram. Later they found out the bugs so the TMOUS version could released with 576 mb.

Maybe it depend on the branding because I really don't know what picture you are talking about. I don't get any picture when I make a call.

Branded to Rogers or unbranded, no picture...

[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Yea. I have no idea what picture you are talking about. When you make a call, it should show the picture of the contact right away OR if you don't, just the default blue background.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:

Hi, my 1st post here...I've had my x1 for about 18 months now. since last week its been switching off and back on again. At 1st it wasn't so frequent but now its doing it every few minutes and sometimes it doesn't even complete the boot sequence...

I'm running the evilash leo rom, oh and another thing i think i should mention is i lost the battery cover so was using the phone without one for about 2 weeks (long story) I've tried hard reset and re-installing the ROM again, no luck :(

Somebody help me please...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmob101:
Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion, i did try that and same thing happens. I gave up trying...figured it has to be a hardware fault and have handed it in to a mobile phone repair center.

Edit: HERES WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU GET AN OTA UPDATE NOTIFICATION. DON'T UPDATE YET READ THIS:

Here's what you should do if you already updated:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6558291&postcount=726

Original post:

I honestly don't know how though myself. I figure its good if anyone happens to get the update but doesn't know how to dump it. Anyone who does have knowledge want to post or post a link to where you can learn how to do it? It'll help get this thing out faster if someone happens to get it.
[Nexus One General] dsixda:
In a nutshell, you need to unlock the bootloader, install the custom recovery menu and then finally perform a nandroid backup. Sorry, I'm on my phone so I can't give you all the links but they are found in the sticky threads.

You can then upload it for everyone to download or use the Android Basic Kitchen to make it into an update.zip so that it can be flashed by anybody with a rooted Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] blisk:
Oh well that doesn't apply to me. I'm not rooted yet. At least I know that much now... we'll need someone rooted to dump it.

What about getting a link for update.zip? Anyway to figure that out? Should we wait before we update if we get the notification so we can get the url?
[Nexus One General] chowlala:
Well boys, Chris over at AndroidPolice could use some of our help. I emailed him bout 20 minutes ago, and here's his reply...

//

I don't know the steps for doing so, actually, I was planning on walking through the steps to get a dump, if possible. If you can get someone at XDA to put a list of steps together for either getting the URL or grabbing a system dump, I'll post them up on the blog.

Warmest regards,

Chris

Let's hook the man up with some steps eh?
[Nexus One General] blisk:
Yeah lets do this. Posted in the main thread on 2.2 to see if someone can do this. You might want to go to a separate thread if that doesn't get any responses so more people see this.
[Nexus One General] rheza02:
Just to be clear, if you get an OTA notification do the following:

1) Say install later

2) Install Log Collector from the Market (its written by Xtralogic)

3) Open said app and select ok

3) Email it to futurerheza at gmail dot com

4) Press home

5) Go Menu->settings->About Phones->System Updates

6) From here you will be able to install Froyo

and i will try to find link, and share with u guys.\

can you email this to him
[Nexus One General] blunden:
To get the link, install the SDK and run adb logcat before you start the update. It will most likely show up there. Just press CTRL+C to stop logcat.

Another method is to install Andro Shark that can be found in this forum. It will dump all traffic (when you run the app and start the service). This way you will get both the link and with the help of tcpflow you can even extract the entire update.zip from the created pcap-file.

For Nandroid, boot to fastboot mode (power+volume down and select fastboot).

Run "fastboot oem unlock" and agree to the terms of voided warrenty.

Download Amon_Ra's recovery or Clockwork recovery from here or modaco.

In fastboot mode, run "fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image.img".

Select Nandroid backup.
[Nexus One General] RieGo:
the best would be a nandroid image, but you have to flash a custom recovery image that supports nandroid.

Then you do the following (I already posted this somewhere):

-make a nandroid backup for you

-wipe everything (data/cache/...)

-make a new nandroid backup (before rebooting) <- this is the needed backup for us

-restore the first backup for you
[Nexus One General] tokyomonster:
Thanks guys. I'm at work right now, and have to get a few things done - I'll post this info up in a few minutes.
[Nexus One General] blisk:
Someone over on the other thread posted a how to on dumping the image which should work for anyone rooted. Update.zip will have to come from a log and someone not accepting the update right away.

This is what he should do:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dhq:
Hi all,

I hope somenone can help me with the following:

My phone (as it was when it came out of the box):

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

After many months of reading about rooting etc. I took the plunge and did the following:

- installed the sdk and made sure adb was working

- fastboot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G

- made a nandroid backup

- adb push recover to sd card

- adb shell to flash recovery permanently

- flashed Defanged base and flashed cyanogen rom

All the above worked like a dream. Tried stable rom first:

update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed and then got really exited and tried update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test5-signed. (after a wipe)

Again all this worked like a dream.

I then wanted to see how well the nandroid restore would work. So i booted into recovery and performed a wipe before the restore.

Wow this was going so well. I now had my phone back in its original state.

Clearly i was ready for more so wanted to go back to cyanogen rom.

As i booted into recovery (home button+power button) it stopped booting into recovery but instead displays a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark and a little phone.

What have i done wrong? I can still fastboot into recovery.

I also tried reflashing the recovery but now get permission denied.

hope someone can help

Kind regards,

PS. I am now back on update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test5-signed

I used fastboot to get to recovery, wiped and reflashed. So that all works.

I just don't understand why i cant get into the recovery i flashed in the first place without using fastboot

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] freakingwilly:
Just so you know, this does not belong in the ROM development thread so don't be upset if a moderator moves it.

Have you tried changing your MMS settings? Does data work on the phone? If you are using the stock SMS program, you should have no problems getting MMS to work just fine. First you will need to set up your Data connection:

Once you do this, you will need to set up your MMS:

After a soft reset, this should get your MMS working. Send an MMS to yourself to test if everything is working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Davano:

I'm surprised noone noticed he said a Sprint TP2 (CDMA) on T-Mobile service (GSM). This is simply a prank thread, a CDMA phone will not work at all with a GSM carrier.

2 radios.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jrphoenix77:
Well, that's a first for me. So the Sprint TP2 still has all the GSM equipment inside AND a sim card slot? Kinda nifty. Apologies to the OP then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I also came across that bit about the Sprint TP2 having GSM/UMTS and CDMA/EVDO radios. That interests be a great deal, because I'm pretty sure that ATT runs on 850MHz for GSM and 1900MHz for HSDPA. I also believe I noticed those frequencies were supported by the Sprint TP2's (Gobi?) radios, but require 2 separate Oli unlockers to use on a stateside GSM carrier, and hopefully be able to utilize Verision's 3G network in places where ATT's does not exist. Verizon has EVDO Rev A in the vast majority of backcountry places where I like to kick it sometimes in the contiguous 48. When I first read about "Gobi" a year or two ago, I thought that it was pretty frickin' nifty.

So far through my asking, somebody said it wouldn't work on gsm/edge or umts/..., and another said that only 2G would work. I like having my about-to-be HSPA+ in a 30 mile circle around my house and other sufficiently populated areas, and I got Cingular back in 2003 so they're pretty chill about when I pay my bill and sometimes I manage bill-eliminating account credits when they screw up my account/orders and crap. It's crept up from $60 a month when I first got my wizard with unlimited data/sms/mms to $103 and change. The idea of being able to have my original Cingular SIM card in a CDMA phone and get all of my HSPA 7.2 goodness when it's around/better battery life when not using data and operating on GSM, and use EVDO Rev A when I need something faster than EDGE for tethering. Best I've gotten on EDGE is 15 kB/s.

If the CDMA TP2's can be that kind of awesome thing described above, I might work more to maintain a simultaneous account with Verizon postpaid when I go on road trips with some no contract goodness, and temporarily disconnect my no contract ATT postpaid when I do. That would be seriously awesome. If it can't be done on a flavor of the Rhodium, does anybody think that the next version of the real sliding qwerty with a tilting screen HTC device will be able to operate on all of ATT's frequencies, as well as Verizon's? I saw something about the Mondrian, but it doesn't have a keyboard and is therefore disqualified.

Also, not really excited about WM7 or Android because I don't see any Android sat nav apps that use an enormous map image on one's microSD card instead of being reliant on a data connection for maps, and WM7 is supa'shaky for local maps sat nav since it's not even out yet, and both TomTom and Garmin no longer manufacture their WinMo products, which is retarded since the garmin boxes run on CE and it's $100 of almost pure profit, even with an enormous piracy rate. If Android gets a ballistics calculator, herb strain guide, and local map sat nav with preferably NAVTEQ maps I might just jump ship if I can keep it from communicating with Google. I don't want Google knowing knowing any more about me than they already do. I've had Gmail for a long time, and the ads aren't quite creepy but they're ubertargeted.

Ha anyone had a chance to do a fair comparison of At&t and Sprints 3G networks please?

I have Nex1 on At&t and am really happy with network data transfer....would hate to take a step back!

Thanks for anyone's experienceswith this.
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
There's no way you will take a step back. CDMA 3g (EVDO) is tons faster than GSM 3G. It's just faster period. With TMo 3G in my area I was getting 800kb/s which was insane for Tmo. Normally ATT gets a lot worse. I only got those speeds because TMo wasn;t used around here. In Philly I got a lot less. Now Sprint on the other hand gets me at least 1MB/s average use in my area or in Philly. Also Sprint has the fastest internet period. Faster than Verizon too. So when you do get 4G it will be even better than that. But expect at least 1MB/s speeds and possibly a lot more depending where you are.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Well that's great news! But my At&t 3G here in Chicago is rarely under 1M on the Nexus.

Speedtests often have it over 2M. Ive heard only mediocre reports of Sprints network but if Evdo is at those speeds consistantly I'll be a happy camper on 3G!
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Sprints network is much more consistent. One thing you have to remember is many times when those speed tests are taken several times in a row is caching can skew the results. I've found sprint to be far more reliable here in se florida. I can remember having to switch to edge many times during prime time because my iphone would just sit there waiting to load on 3g.
