I am sure this question has been asked somewhere in this forum, trust me I have searched alot before posting this question here, the only reason that I am asking this question because there are so many threads and so many pages to it. I am confused like anything.
i installed wm2005 after a long long time.
installed Rom Version : 2.01a00
when i click on memory it shows 120 and storage shows 14 something mb's
my device is XDA II, which as far as i know has 128 + 32 for rom + 32 for storage (please correct me if am wrong)
is there a way to increase 14mb storage ?
when i install Ramdisk i get 64mb more, where does that come from ?
when i install extended rom unlocker i get another chunk of mb, dont remember the size. where does all this come from ? the 128 mb i mentioned above, or is this hidden and the mentioned tools make it available ? and how can 14mb storage be increased for program installations.
a quick response would really be appreciated.
jeetz..
ramdisk is ram and is taken from the 128MB application ram

and secondly storage is showing 14 something mb's, when ever i try to install a program xda II gets frozen up and i get an error message saying critical low memory, so where's all that 128 mb gone ? and how can i install programs with out freezing up the pda.
thanks rudegar for an early reply.
install them on the ramdisk

Hi,
I've just got a new S100 and I've got a few questions. Let me first explain at what state I am now. I got a french s100 shipped. So I updated it to WWE with the exe method and no_ID just to get it into english.
Now I would like to go for the mksbigstorage thing. I've read a lot of post on it but I would like a few clarifications.
1. Can you perform big storage through exe method or only by flashing from sd card?
2. Will I have a problem with flashing because my qtek was originally french?
3. What is the difference between exe method and flashing? Does one method do more than the other?
4. Why do I have to take the first 400 or so bytes from my own rom? Does this have to be the original french one (didn't back that one up) or can I take the one that on it now?
5. If I get stuck anywhere and my device goes dead. Is it then still always possible to upgrade the rom through the exe method to get it back to original? Or could this give problems with storage and ext_rom?
6. Is there a way to make your own rom? Are there tools for prepping files for the exe method?
7. Can someone explain me the memory devision of the qtek? I know 64 mb rom and 64 mb ram. But what get installed where? Is the ext_rom and storage in rom or ram? If you see on the memory screen storage and programs is this all ram?
8. I would like to keep as much ram free as possible. If ext_rom and storage are in ram would it be an option to not have ext_rom and have storage on sd card. If so how can one do that?
9. In my ext_rom there is tpenable and tpdisable, are these things used to specify where software gets installed? I've installed a few things and I think that they are eating up my ram.
I know these are a lot of questions but answers to these would help me understand my qtek better and help me to make a decision on what I'm going to do next.
Thanks,
Stekke.
hi there,
i've been looking for info. about upgrading himalaya to wm2k5 on this forum for days and i found there are several versions of the wm2k5 rom.
does it mean that wm2005 has NO memory (RAM) allocation setting so the amout of memory used to run programs is decided ONLY by (thus cannot be changed like wm2k3) the ROM being used?
but what if someone on 128Mb version found his 30M storage is not enough and he wants a 32M ramdisk?
the only way change it is to re-flash a different rom and hard-reset the device?

Hi people!
I pops this question here, use i know someone will know!
i want to change the storage allocation on my WM5 device. My device "storage" is full, but i still have storage left at "program".
Is there anyway that one can tweak etc that so i can have equal store=program??
My current allocation looks like this:
Storage: 14.5 MB, free 2.16 MB
Program: 61.0MB free 37.00MB
Wich makes it difficult to install programs on my device!!
Thanks in advance guys!!
Cheers!

try this forum:
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,26,6657
you can browse on the subject called persistent storage or ramdisk.
May I just suggest that after you successfully managed your ramdisk which means that a ramdisk folder appears and your storage total becomes 30+ (by the way, I think ramdisk and storage are the same) please do not install an upgrade for higher ramdisk as it becomes a problem of mine and the other user.
But if you insist to upgrade more and encountered a problem, please read below:
I don't know what happened to your storage card but I think I know for the ramdisk.
Well, I suggest that you hard reset your xdaII and do not install ramdisk software to increase ramdisk size. Based on my experience, after I installed the ramdisk 64, the size increased to 90+ but everytime I soft reset, the data I saved in it gets lost.
After hard resetting, the ramdisk came back to normal 30+, I found the lost previous data intact though.
i upgraded my himalaya with wm5 helmis rom. my problem is its storage capacity. it only has 14 mb of storage. how am i going to extend its storage. is there any procedure for doing this? thanks.
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=132&func=fileinfo&id=125
or use another rom with more storage
i have the exact problem...16MB storage...always have 0.6MB free...can't install software...
tried to reduce the RAMDISK to 32 MB, program is increased, storage the same...
storage cant be inc it's flashrom and cant use the normal ram
but one can just install programs on RAMDISK it's faster then normal storage anyway it being ram (well ½ of it) and storage is flash
Use HIMA_DOC_TOOL v1.0 to increase the storage from 15 MB to 30 MB. Search the forum.
Thanks c_shekhar for your response. I searched around the forum, seems this extrom unlock has been discussed for years.
for my understand, need to run the ExtROM Tools to unhide/unlock extrom, then run the Hima_DOC_Tool_1.0 to merge storage and extrom. Now here is the question, I unhide the extrom successfully, can see it for 15.97MB, however the unlock does not work, it has the "blue square" icon and fails "Either it is not signed with a trustred certificate, or one of its components cannot be found".
Not sure this is a corrupted package or something missing from my ROM, the .rar opens fine, but the winrar reports .cab file is corrupted when trying to open it.
My ROM is 3.50c.40CS version...appreciate for your time to help!
Excellent, found the solution from buzz forum...i installed the unlocker to SD card that is why it faied...after re-installing to DEVICE, it works!!! got 30.5MB storage, very happy. Thanks guys.
Okay,here is the problem.I'm relatively new to rooting & flashing.I was trying out different roms.The phone is working great.But now,ROMs takes up all my internal storage.Only around 24 MB is left(This only with my stock rom,I am not able to install other ROMs at all because of space constraint).
Total Internal memory is: 150 mb
ROM takes up upto 120 mb now
before I almost had around 90 MB for myself.
I tried reading about the same problem in different forums like XDA developers.I couldn't find a solution anywhere.
Using my recovery (team win recovery) i found out that \data & \cache has junk file of around 97 & 26 MB respectively although i have formatted it multiple times.
Since i have rooted my warranty is void.I can't ask about it in HTC sevice centre.
Is there a way to format \data and \cache forcefully via computer or recovery?
I'll be really thankful if someone could help me with this!:angel:
