Just wondering if some one can help,
I upgraded to WM5 from win 2003, then started load my progs back on, and got a message pop up saying low memory, when i had a look the storage memory was 0
Storage memory was 15mb all used up program memory 88mb 64mb free
and ramdisk is 32mb free is there any way to take some memory from the progs and add it to the storage memory, surley when i was adding my progs back on they should be loading to the progs memory
flash with Tofclock's 2.03 ROM 64/64 version - it gives you 64 MB for running programs and 64MB as Ramdisc. Join storage with Doc tool to gain 30MB of storage, but don't install anything in storage - it's slow. Install everything on Ramdisc. And remember - backup Ramdisk often to SD card.
where can i get Tofclock's 2.03 ROM 64/64 version
on buzddev.net in Himalaya WM5 section

Hello .. everybody !!
My biggest problem is the storege memory it is only 30 MB which is not enough 4 me.
1. i have i-mate pocket pc ( old model no keyboard ).
2. i used to have windows mobile 2003 OS which gives me 64 MB for storge mem. , 64 MB for Program mem. which is very good.
3. i have ugraded my i-mate to WM5 but it gives me only 30 MB for the Storege mem.
4. i installed all my programs into Ramdisk and they work prefectely.
5. But i want to increase my Storege mem to at least 64 MB if possiable.
6. i am running now ( 1.70a.96wwe rom - radio 1.08.00 - Protocol V. 1337.18 ) which is i feel the best no major issue's.
7. i have upgraded my i-mate to 2.01a.00WWE rom thinking that it will increase me Storege mem. but it is the same as my previous rom excpet camera issue solved and some other features.
8. i went back to my old rom 1.70a.96wwe
Please i need help for the Storege mem size if there is
thanks very much 4 our developers for their big effort and kindness

Hi ns700i,
Sounds as if you flashed to the wrong version of 2.01a for your needs. Try reflashing to 2.01a 64 which has 64 MB Prog memory and 64MB RamDisk (i.e. you old set up). You'll then also have 14MB of "Device" which you can increase to 30MB y using the DOC Tools to unlock (reallocate the old etdended memory which you ordinarily can't see). All this is posted over in buzzdev.net:-

well thank you very much for your reply but i have no problems with my exsiting rom , and if i followed you i will get the same Storage mem 30 MB which i do have now ..
i just need to increase my Storage mem size .. i feel that this is the right Storage mem size i can get 4 my i-mate due to my i-mate hardware configuration.
thanks alot.
Hi ns700i,
You are welcome. Under WM5 30 MB is the max for "Storage" memory so for those wanting needing more "Storage" we have to use a RAMdisk as well to provide the additional storage allocation of memory. Hence my posting above would allow you to use 94 MB total storage for installed programs and user files leaving you 64 MB of mermory to run active programs with. So effectivly you do get more storage (it just gets labelled slightly differently and is split between 30 MB "Storgae" and 64 MB "Ramdisk" or "FlashDisk"). Hope this helps to clarify things. In all othere respects the ROM I suggested you flash to is exactly the same as the one you are currently running (just the memory allocation is different and will result in something very close to your old WM2003 split od storage/program memory).

How can we I the storage space of WM2005 From 14.54MB to around 32MB?
I kept on running out of disk space. After installing all my programs, I end up with just 3.53MB. Most if not all of my programs are even installed in the flashdisk.
I would appreciate any help any one of you can give me on this matter. Thanks!
This is the exact problem I am having too. I tried installing memmaid but there was nothing to remove from the memory and the storage > memory slider will not move. I tried unlocking the extended memory but the programs would not run (nothing at all happens) and I tried using doc tool but it doesn't seem to have done anything. On my XDA2 I have the 64/64 version of wm5 installed and have 56mb spare. I have 3 out of 14mb spare on the storage disk and cant find anything to remove. I have a 2gb SD card in the unit.
Can someone help please?
Thanks
I tried the same version 64/64 until earlier this afternoon. I downgraded to 32/96 so that I may have a larger storage space. but alas! Nothing happened.
You can use "HIMA doc tools" to delete almost all ext ROM and join it with storage thus having 30MB of storage.
HOVEWER! DON'T instal anything in this storage!
Storage in MDA2 is slow, and in WM5 is regularly compacted via proces filesys.sys (or sth like this). When you are filling storage, compacting it will take longer and longer and Himalaya works slower and slower...
In short: install everything on RAMDisc provided in the newest ROMs
If you want easy way, install ROM from this thread, it's the newest ROM available:
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/id,23348/catid,26/
or this one (older but proven to be quite stable)
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/id,19690/catid,26/
If you like tweaking, take a look at ROM kitchen:

Marx2,
How do we do that? Sorry I donno a thing about reprograming. I will appreaciate it though if you could guide me. Thanks!
I was able to unlock and erase some parts of the extended ROM. However, I do not know how to merge the space that I freed and the current storage space that I have. Any suggestions?
Ok I'm totally confused so I hope someone can help me!....
Yesterday I finally decided to upgrade to WM2005. I tested a couple of different
ROMs and finally settled on Tofclock's AKU3.2 3.35a which was configured with :
64 MB RAM - 32 MB Page pool - 32 MB Ramdisk
My memory configuration appears as :
Storage Total: 14.54MB
Program Total: 61.23MB
Everything was working fine until I try to install a large app like Tomtom which
insists on installing some bits on the device and my 14.5MB of storage disappears and the installer hangs due to running out of space.
What I'm confused about is where this 14.54MB resides and why it isn't bigger.
I don't really understand the need for this Ramdisk stuff. Can I not just ditch the Ramdisk and install important apps to the device when they won't install to my SD card?
If I had no ramdisk wouldn't the applications I install to the device be persistent anyways?
So far I have installed Wizbar 2 and TomTom to the Ramdisk and I have already run out of space in the device storage memory.
Many thanks,
Laxity.
win2005 dont use ram for storage or programs or anything
it use flash
on 2003 it only used ram for storage and programs and application mem
and you had a slider to deside how much was for mem and how much for programs/data
so a basic 2005 rom give you all the 128MB as application mem
and only the 32MB in \Storage for everything else
ramdisk mean that the program make fake storage out of application mem
and let you install programs and data on it
I have installed the TofClock's ROM(exactly likethe one you installed too). I didnt have speed and storage problems because i installed ALL the applications to the "\RAMdisk".
your storage memory is for the \device directory like some \windows files and \My Documents.
install all your progs in the RAMdisk.
this is so far on of the coolest ROMs, i've been running on this for 4 days now.
BUT i have a big problem with this ROM: it shuts down at 24% level battery.

"Hello Guys.
Maybe someone of you can give me a helpful hint.
I´m running a Magician device, but i think it´s not important which device is used. With the device I´m using a sandisk Wifi card with 256 MB Storage integrated.
The last days i tried to download a file with approx. 30 MB. SD-Card with Wifi was complete clean, but the Memory of the device just have about 24 MB free. For downloading I used the integrated IE in the WM2003SE. The download should be saved on the storage card, but the download failed because of not having enough free space. So I think the device first downloads the file as temporary file on the System memory and then copies it to the SD card.
So, how can I change this to be able to download files directly to the SD card?
Stefan"
This is the question that some guy asked back in 2006. bun none answered. I have the same problem this days with my HD2 on win 6.5 with 8GB SD card,but only 46MB free integrated memory. I was try to download 80MB file from internet, but it was impossible because both opera and IE making temp file in main memory, and after successful download it was been removed to SD card and cleared from main memory. How to avoid making that temp file and allow download some file bigger then the free main memory? Can anyone help?
