New ROMs: could page pool & remaining mem be posted, too?

For those of us who know just enough to make some real toast with a kitchen, or people who want to just sit down and eat at your fabulous restaurants and consume your delectible cheffery, page pool, even if it hasn't been changed, and an estimate of what the remaining memory might be w/o any changes, would be welcome additions to the menu, as it were.
(I've been having some trouble with the page pool tutorial/editing, myself, and if I could pick one that suits it would be much easier than, well, thinking. Isn't everything easier than thinking?)

i can tell you about my ROM free mem: 33-35 mb mem free, 36-38 mem free with camera driver off. with 4 mb pp, all systems operational.
now: decrease stats by 2mb and you have 3 mem for 6mb pp, it is not worth it imo.

on 6mb pp system seems to be more fluid in general, but it IS slower in tests(tcpmp movie test, emu test etc).

Do it exist a malloc (memory leak) debugger for WM6?

I would like to try out which application eats the RAM in my PDA. So I would need some malloc (memory allocation) debugger. Do it exist such a kind malloc debugger for WM6?
Thanks in advance!

if you don't get hold of the source code of the applications in question, no debugger would help, let alone malloc.
try acbtaskman instead.

Thank you. I will try it.
Independently from that, I thought a sollution which replaces the malloc/free with a debugged one on the operation system side.

I was interested in this subject a while back. As I am a mere "user"
(maybe "power user" lol) as opposed to a "developer" or similar,
I didn't investigate too much; in the end I just changed my device
Anyway... Found some links to stuff,
though as my level of comprehension on subjects such as these is poor to say the least...
this could all be useless for this issue on WM6,
in fact I am aware that I could be barking up entirely the wrong tree...
just putting it out there in case someone finds it useful ...

APPVERIFIER
AppVerifier is Microsoft's official tool for finding the source of a heap leak....It records a callstack for each heap allocation, discarding data about allocations that are freed. So in the end you can look to see which allocations were not freed, and get callstacks to identify them.

Who's Using My RAM?

I made some measurements. As you can see, the "i do not know who is using this memory" is directly after reboot and after 1 day using the same ca. 10 MB. This is the first secret for me. Who is using and for what this 10 MB? The second interresting thing is, that after 1 day using the op system uses 5 MB more then after the reboot.
So I think, that the statemen, that mostly the installed extra softwares causes the big memory lost is simply not true. It seems, that the op system self is a memory leak....
MEM status directly after reboot:
Total: 48.97 MB
In use: 26.80 MB
Free: 22.17 MB
filesys.exe 5172 KB
device.exe 3632 KB
gwes.exe 3204 KB
shell32.exe 1480 KB
cprog.exe 1280 KB
services.exe 400 KB
connmgr.exe 224 KB
Summary: 15392 KB -> 15.03 MB
All other running applications uses ca. 1.50 MB
Lost mem: 26.80 MB - 15.03 MB - 1.50 MB => 10.27 MB
MEM status after 1 day using:
Total: 48.97 MB
In use: 32.31 MB
Free: 16.66 MB
filesys.exe 6652 KB
gwes.exe 4500 KB
device.exe 4328 KB
shell32.exe 1744 KB
Phone (cprog.exe) 1536 KB
services.exe 632 KB
ActiveSync (repllog.exe) 500 KB
tmail.exe 340 KB
connmgr.exe 288 KB
Summary: 20520 KB -> 20.04 MB
All other running applications uses ca. 1.50 MB
Lost mem: 32.31 MB - 20.04 MB - 1.50 MB => 10.77 MB

yeah somewhere on the msdn blog (my last link)...
I think the microsoft guy concedes that this may be the case.
(talking about WM5, admittedly, but still...similar CE base AFAIK, amirite?)
He advises one guy,
(who is working in a pharmacy and using his PPC for health/safety critical tasks)
to use his self-built program to reboot the device "nightly" to free up memory...bit of a kludge, innit?

How to increase program and storage memory?

Hello,
I've built a ROM and I have not so much memory available just after booting:
Storage : 39 free of 44 MB
Program: 10 free of 43 MB
How to increase at lease program memory in order to get more RAM for programs?
Why do I see only 43 MB of program memory as some ROMs show more?

You've been a member since 2007. Most people would figure that you should know the rules by now. STOP POSTING in the WRONG FORUM.

The size of the ROM space depends on what the cook puts in the ROM. The less stuff, the more space.

[Q] are WM apps capped from using 25mb+ RAM?

hey fellow XDA WM devs and users and forum people,
Greetings,
so I am asking whether not WM devices are capped on using 25+mb of RAM for each app...
If so, can I assume that this is the reason why we cannot have stunning graphic games just like the other compatitor platforms (iOS, Android) ??
also, a reply tweet from one of my favourite game dev:
http://twitter.com/Isotope244/status/16152606483
any comments or answers are greatly apprerciated
Kind Regards

Processes in winmo can only access 32 mb of virtual memory (with a max of 32 processes). There's normally at least 7 mb or so of memory allocated to dll's for all processes (sometimes more). 32-7=25 mb. I think that's what the developer is talking about. This is changing with WP7, where all process will have full access to 1 GB of virtual memory (limited by the amount of availabe RAM).

thanks farmer tad for your reply....
now its all clear to me
thanks.
(oh lol... then what's thhe point of phones having all those extra RAM while the OS cannot use them, at all?)

how to increase the size of data.img in android?

esp after i have created it pls?
256 mb is far from enough.
thanks.
