Both phones physically have 512MB of Mobile DDR RAM

The fact is (if you are on Bada 1.0-1.2) 256MB of RAM is reserved for Bada OS along with the libraries and service layers. This also includes the Bada Default apps (such as Mail, Messaging, IM, Social Hub, Facebook/Twitter, Dolfin, TouchWiz Music, Gallery etc.)

In Bada 1.0-1.2, the phone can only utilize one of the 2 parts of the RAM (this is because how the OS is designed).

Basically, when you have a install app running, and switching to a Bada native app, the install app will (Suspend). This will suspend the RAM (RAM-reserve switching). One of the parts can be used. But the certain functions of Bada will run in the background, not all (some of these services are suspended as well).

Within the Bada OS reserved RAM, approximately 70MB-90MB (depending on numbers of widgets, homescreens and app main menus). For reference of browser, Dolfin will take about 12MB-18MB of RAM to show about:blank (OS 1.0-1.2). Enabling Flash will add about 3MB-5MB to show the blank page.

TouchWiz Music Player takes about 10MB-16MB depending on how many songs you have in your Library and how many Cover Art (also if you turn on the Visualization). SRS Mobile Surround and EQs do not really affect the RAM since they are built into the player itself. (Not turning it on/turning it on RAM usage is very subtle). It does however take more CPU resources and shortening battery life.

Or maybe the true is 256mb and thi is a realy big **** !!!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] civil.scholar:
maybe a big **** :mad::mad::mad:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Tigrouzen:
Maybe not also this is intersting information for Addfree to dump right Rom in memory...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] anghelyi:
No, it's simply not true. With Android we had more than 256 MB free ram as far as I remember, and then there were 80 MB reserved for future modem use. I think Adfree is correct with 384 MB. Besides the Android experiences you can find screenshots of Bada 2.0 running on Wave and Wave II where the free heap is shown in the debug menu and it's over 240 MB which can not be acheived with 256 MB if you load the opereating system...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
It's half-true. It's 256MB LPDDR and 128M OneDRAM AFAIK. Of course this still can be proven wrong. Bada system does virtualize few GB of memory space.

But free heap size would fit: uncompressed apps ~ 50MB, modem shared space = 32MB, some loaded DLLs/Apps ~50MB

So it's 384-132 = 252 MB, probably 16MB of oneDRAM isn't used and its reserved for future modem functions. So that's 236MB of free memory. Looks like it fits, eh?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] b.kubica:
with bterm i can dump 256MB at 0x40000000 and 128MB at 0x20000000. nothing more

hey! wtf! wave 2 its same?!? i buyed a smartphone with 512mb of ram, and i want 512 mb of ram! is not right that samsung give us 384mb only..because specifications says 512. -.- Sorry for my bad English and for the outburst.

S8500 and S8530 have different moviNAND + different size...

It seems first Block is reserved for something...

Looks like this:

2NDFORMATCOMPLETED
2NDRSTORECOMPLETED

And other data...

Then it is possible to extract all 3 Partitions... as *.img, because it is FAT 16...

NO NAME FAT16

For extraction from dump you can use WinHex...

To dump moviNAND on S8500/S8530, see this:

Edit 1.

Second attempt...

increased partition 2
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Since bada 2 (XPKG5) Samsung used NOT full capacity of moviNAND for S8500.

This means since bada 1 you lost 92 MB of OSP partition... :rolleyes:

Check folder Debug/fsenvparam

Example S8500 XXLA1:

[PARAMETER]
FFSPHYSICALADDRESS=191889408
iNANDPARTCOUNT=3

iNANDP1SECCOUNT=1204224
iNANDP2SECCOUNT=802816
iNANDP3SECCOUNT=1818623
STLTOTALSECCOUNT=487930

Here is from bada 1... S8500 XXJEB for instance...

[PARAMETER]
FFSPHYSICALADDRESS=210763776
MASSPARTCOUNT=3
MASS[B]TOTALSECCOUNT[/B]=4014080
MASSP1SECCOUNT=1204224
MASSP2SECCOUNT=802816
MASSP3SECCOUNT=2007039
STLTOTALSECCOUNT=350712

Concentrate only on TOTALSECCOUNT and ignore the other Values...

Compare with detected stuff... here bada Bootloader... But Android shows similar stuff...

S8530

----------------CSD Version 1.0--------in low level-------------
channel: [0]
One Block Size: [512]Byte
Total card Block Count = [[B]3825664[/B]]
Total card Capacity Size = [1868]MB
---------------------------------------------------

S8500

----------------CSD Version 1.0--------in low level-------------
channel: [0]
One Block Size: [512]Byte
Total card Block Count = [[B]4014080[/B]]
Total card Capacity Size = [1960]MB
---------------------------------------------------

For Android this means...

If you have S8500 you have less space on moviNAND

- 92 MB = unused

If you use bada partitions, like volk204...

I am no Linux expert... :o

But it seems, Tigrouzen can use 100 % of movi'NAND, after FORMAT:

cmd busybox umount /data
cmd busybox umount /cache
cmd busybox umount /system
cmd parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 3
cmd parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 2
cmd parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 1
cmd parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mklabel msdos
cmd parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpart primary ext2 0 20MB

Hi All,

I have done some reading but I'm still unsure about this.

I have a HTC wildfire with 2.1 update1 firmware, still Vodafone branded. I rooted it some time ago but in all honestly have not seen any benefit bar being able to install a wireless hotspot app that I couldn't get to work.

I would like to update to the 2.2 version but I'm aware I cannot use a OTA update. What's the best way to go about installing 2.2 or is there a better cook out there that improves speed?

Thanks for any advice offered and sorry its such a silly question

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Fmstrat:
I've already got the groundwork in my other applications for requesting root, making su calls, etc. If kernel dev's are willing to post their kernels in an exact format, I.E:

kernelname-nand/sd/ram-version-date.zip:

zImage

initrd.gz (optional)

modules/*.ko

.. or even just PM when new releases come out for me to do it myself, then I could pretty easily put an application in market that will backup the existing kernel and modules to SD, then auto-install kernels based on a scan of existing files.

While it's not a lot of time, I don't want to go down that road unless there is interest, so let me know.

*mods*

If this belongs in Q&A, feel free to move, I just thought it made since in the dev section since it will involve kernel devs.

Thanks,

Since I know this will be the first question: Yes, it will be free.

OK, here's the thing...I was donated a HTC Pro Three device with 320mbRAM...I know it's a pre-release device, but I was wondering, since I can't find anything about it here, is there a way of upgrading ROM, becausse official HTC site won't accept my S/N as it is a prototype device...I would like a ROM upgrade, but this is holding me back... Or would it work for someone to send me a ragular S/N of a retail HD2 so I can download official ROMs-would those ROMs work on my device, or are there some special ROMs for this pre-release device?

Thanks in advance, please help, I'm getting desperate here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
AFAIK, you can use custom ROMs on your device with no problem, as it's the ROM size that's an issue, not RAM (there could be more to it than that though).

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinomori:
Hi,

Please forgive me if this is a noob question. I recently developed an issue transferring files to the sd card. Using the usb storage method, after transfering 2 or 3 mp3s, the phone would shut off and reboot for no reason (This caused the Zeam launcher to crash apparently? for at least 15 tries)

I tried using the SD adapter, the transfer rate is extremely slow or to no transfer at all and causes windows explorer to crash or hang (tried at least 15x).

I figured my sd card was corrupted so I tried formatting the card. If I used the SD adapter, it would say the card is write-protected even though clearly, the locked was off. I even tried another SD-adapter to no avail.

Finally, using USB storage, I was able to format the SD card.

Since I mentioned earlier that the Zeam launcher crashed, (yes, I selected always use "zeam launcher" even after it crashed causing the error message to loop) I resetted the phone with the wipe data/factory rest option in clockworkmod (I'm using ViperRom 3.03).

I wasn't sure if the 1 click root (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388) installed any folders into the sd card so I ran the 1 click root in windows just to make sure. After rebooting from the 1 click root, all the files that were previously formatted were back.

I guess I didn't read too clearly but

my questions is

1) how am I able to disable that backup function? I had a bunch of files (which I have no idea what they did) from when i first started playing with the phone and I want to start off fresh with just the files I need.

2) anyone have any idea why the sd card was unable to accept files through the SD adapter or USB storage method?

3) what to do when the launcher crashes (this happened to me 2x already where I lost all my data)

Thanks to anyone who can help. This will help me close some gaps in my limited Android/Epic 4g knowledge.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinomori:
definitely something is weird. Using usb storage, I ran the scandisk to fix errors and some errors were found. I formatted to ntfs just for kicks and the sd card read blank and in properties the drive had nothing in use. I turned off usb storage, turned it back on and voila, all the files that weren't there are now back. It this a sign of a corrupted sd card or am I going crazy?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koadic:
Which files/folders are you referring to? Because as soon as your phone mounts your sd card, it will write about 4 folders (I think) if they are not already there...

.android_secure

Android

DCIM

LOST.DIR

if I recall correctly. The other thing you can do is use your phone to format your card instead of doing it on a computer... go to 'Settings->SD card and phone storage->Unmount SD card' then after it is unmounted, use the 'Format SD card' option. If this doesn't work, then you may need a new sd card/phone.
