I own a MDA compact with 64MB ROM and 64MB RAM + 512MB San Disk SD
I would like to receive some suggestions about how to increase RAM and ROM on my MDA compact: after hard reset I see that, in fact, the available RAM for programs and storage is much less than 64MB, in fact it is around 40MB.
I guess the culprits are those cabs and installation files which are inevitably installed after hard reset from Ext-Rom.
I would like to know how to increase the available ROM+RAM after Hard Reset.
ALso I would like to know if it is possible (and how) to modify the external ROM and get rid of most NOT useful programms.
These following programs are NOT useful to me:
- album
- email whiz
- MSN messenger
- photo contacts
- Midlet manager
- Pictures
- Windows Media
- Zip
- xBackup
- games (both of them)
Thanks in advance for your kind help and advice
Replies to my personal email are welcomed.

this is easy, do a hard reset, and then direcly afther aligning the screen do a soft reset windows will be installed but no other programs like (in my case) msn messenger t-mobile crap etc.
57.41MB after soft reset, remains as free memory
Thanks. I have done as you recommend.
1.
I noted that the remaining storage + program memory is 57.41MB, not 64MB. Why?
2.
Also I have noted that WITHOUT PERFORMING SOFT RESET all the auxiliary unwanted programs are installed and, SURPRISE, at the end, the free memory is still THE SAME, 57.41MB !? Why is that? It should be less, say 50MB
Thanks and waiting

The remaining 6.5MB are used by system and not available to user.

57.41MB is the size of memory installed.
The "blue bar" in memory is the memory available. The "white" portion is the memory used.
For example I have:
Storage: Allocated 21.18 - In use 11.83 - Free 9.35
Program: Allocated 36.24 - In use 14.63 - Free 21.61
So I have 26.46MB Used and 30.96 Free.
If I install more programs in main memory I will find less free space.

Guyz, i've been using my imate JAM for about 3 weeks now. havent had any problems with it. Running preety smooth it is. but i occasionally had to soft reset it because it got hung up on something (maybe it was processing something or ..) Anyways, i've read loads about this Upgrading of ROMS. tell me if it is really necessary. And if it really helps to upgrade, WHICH ROM VERSION is the best and STABLE. Please Help me.
Well it's not necessary to update the rom, don't know your version but it can't be very old, isn't it?
Check your memory to see whether it is running low on ram, start -> settings -> system -> memory -> main (1st tab). The right side shows the ram occupied by files on your device, the left side shows the ram occupied by running programs. A magician only got 64MB of ram shared by running programs & installed programs. & installing apps. to the default location decreases that amout rapidly. Also take a look on the 3rd tab (running programs), pushing the x button doesn't close programs it minimizes them. You can free up ram by closing them manually or by installing app like vjokbut (very small), spb pocket plus, battry bar & others.
If your system is constantly running low on memory & you got a lot of apps. installed in the default location, consider doing a hard-reset & start all over again installing apps to either SD or internal Storage folder. To choose where cab-files should install you can use cabinstl very handy small tool. & don't forget to delete the Internet Explorer once in a while by hand in \windows\temporary internet files or have eg memmaid do it & You can even store the cache on SD if you like with this pogram.
If this all doesn't help you can try BIG Storage. With this you enlarge the internal Storage folder from 7 to 27MB. Howto's on the board & in the wiki.

Is it not the other way around, the right side (Program) shows the running programs and the left side (Storage) is for installed programs? I usually check my memory after starting a newly installed program just to see how much ram it consumes and it's the right side that decreases in value.
Yes you're correct I messed up. The right side (Program) shows the RAM consumed by running programs and the left side (Storage) is for installed programs & other features in the \Windows folder.
Excuse me pls,
M
no problem man. nobody is perfect.

Ok,
First: ov all my phone specs are:
imate JAM
ROM ver - 1.12 WWE
RADIO ver - 1.12.10
PROTOCOL ver - 1337.42
EXT Rom ver - 1.12.167 WWE
Secondly: DO i need an UPGRADE ??
And: hmmm, BIG STORAGE.. well it increases my Interernal Storage to 27 MB .. and it helps to do ....... what ???
Your rom is OK & upgrade really NOT necessary. BS is nice to install apps on, no need. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Hi there,
I have a MDA 2, 2.03a.64WWE 2005 ROM flashed with HIMA_DOC tool patched. Altough I did not install ANY programs on device, after some time storage memory shrunk back to 0.43 MB and device started to give that annoying low storage level warning :angry:. Anyone knows the reason for this and any opinions why did storage memory shrunk back to that level? Any ideas for solution?

Delete your browser cache and empty Outlook deleted items for a start.
This is really strange! by default, windows reset the memory level to 50% to storage & 50% to applications.
check the startup items, maybe there's a program or service running that causes all that shrinking..
clear up to 7 mb
Ok problem solved
I tought IE automatically empties the temporary files folder once in a while, but eventually it did not... 5 MB of junk deleted and back to normal life... Thanks for the advice...

I've got a question:
Did you all have Copilot removed from storage card and system?
Could Copilot disturb TomTom?
There must be a reason why TomTom is that slow with my HD2.
Are you sure that TomTom isn't running in background when you start it?
Try to install TT on the phone, the maps can be installed on the sd card.
On my HD2 also 5 seconds with western europe card.
*Co pilot is still on my phone

First off, you're running a different version of TomTom to everyone else, try getting the same version and report back.
I've just noticed that my TomTom has now started to load slowly, the splash screen comes up for quite some time (30 seconds) and then the screen goes blank for a while (maybe 15 seconds) then TomTom loads but it takes forever.
I've just been messing about with the phone to work out what is going on. I've tried many different things but I think I've worked out what it is.
The latest PocketGPSWorld speed UK Speed Zone complete POIs (16th December) seem to have caused the problem!
I was happily using TomTom with no problems even since the ROM upgrade to v1.48 and I've not changed much other than installing latest BsB Tweaks 1.5 and the 3 HTC hotfixes for the phone, I've not added many files to the storage card etc.
I was using the PocketGPSWorld database from November with no issues.
I'm trying to work out if there is a specific POI which is doing it.
Scratch my previous post, I couldn't consistantly get it working smoothly and quickly 100% of the time by playing around with the POIs installed.
I have now resolved my problem of slow loading / strange behaviour and poor performance in TomTom by backing up the contents of my 8GB SanDisk memory card and then formating it on the phone again. I copied back the maps (Western European 1GB maps v840.2561) and the Program Files folder which contained the TomTom install (v7.916) as well as other programs (games etc.). It is now running perfectly again! I have all of my POIs back on the phone including all speed cameras.
I formatted my card which was originally in my old O2 XDA Orbit 2 when I first got the HD2 as music wasn't playing on it properly. Maybe I have been playing with it too much
Worth formatting the card if you are having problems I think!
I want TomTom for my HD2 but can't find it anywhere - can someone PM me a link to where I can get it?
Thanks
DT
I now have a new Storage Card, which is Class 6 and now TomTom starts within 4 Seconds! That means, in my case it was definitly a matter of a slow storage card!

I installed to device 1st and messed up bluetooth and wifi.
I copied all tomtom files to microSD and hard reset. Pasted a link to navigator in the start menu and everything works fine. Quick to acquire a fix and no lags.

FYI:
I used 7.916.9189 for a very long time and never had issues related to Startup time or others...lately i decided to update to TTN_7.918.9193_VGA_black and started to have the Very Slow Startup times (>30sec)!!
So if you're planning to update to a newer version like i did...just stay still as there's no difference between both versions i stated! I'm going back to 7.916!

I'm also using TTNavigator 7.198.9193, with the latest available v855 W&CE map and have no lag...
Start up with HD2 is 3-4sec, start-up with Blackstone is a bit slower (why should that be?? ), but still 6-7sec
I think it's due to your memorycard.
Maybe your using a slow (class 2) memory card.
But since you hadn't have those long boot time before, I think you just need to format your mem card
So.... back up everything you need, format it and put everything back And the lag should've been gone

Hi,
I flashed my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday with this ROM. Suffice to say Im pretty pleased with it, however my Diamond doesnt have a lot of storage space left (on the device, i.e. not the 4GB internal storage or RAM) and as a result I keep getting nasty messages telling me to free up some space etc...
I appreciate that its a beefy ROM with Sense 2.5 but I dont understand what is happening. When i flashed the phone I had about 8MB free. I put a 6MB ringtone into the ringtones folder before noticing how little space that left me with (2MB) and then deleted it. Now a couple of days later I notice that I have less than 1MB of space, yet I havent installed any apps to the device storage so what has been filling the space up? This morning I attempted to install Facebook and Google Maps to the storage card via Marketplace as these were already on the device storage but it doesnt seem to have freed up any space.
Does anyone know how I can free up some space please? None of the apps cooked into the ROM appear in the "Remove Programs" app.
Cheers.
Hi,
Things like e-mail import, text messages, temporary files just take a lot of space of the memory.
AthenaROM is not very good, I suggest you flash for example Gen Y D2X.
Hard-resetting is the only way to clean it up, most of the files are system files that will return after deletion.
Hi thanks for your reply.
I'll check out that other ROM; for the moment I've simply copied some non-Marketplace apps to the storage card and placed shortcuts into the /Windows/Start Menu folder on the device memory. Only thing is the icons dont show, anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks.
