Task Manager (WM5) - General Topics

I have installed in my SD their application Task Manager (WM5). When puncturing on her he/she has settled... but, not you where he/she has settled. Any icon doesn't appear among the applications. I want to remove it of my PDA, but I don't find the application among the applications to eliminate. I have cleaned the registration of WM5, but I continue noticing that the capacity RAM of my PDA has 200 less (to be in some place of the RAM this application) KB. As I can her definitively eleminar?.
Greetings, and thank you,

Hibernate?

Some ROMs and the Smart Tools enhancement add a "hibernate" function. Which seems to free up RAM but doesn't cause the kind of hibernation I expect from a notebook...
So what does it do?
It just frees up the RAM from minimized programs. Completely different from a PC' hibernate.
The Hibernate software is from oxios.com
Regards,
Carty..
So any functional difference between this and the utility in Celetask? Because I've seen them both bundled in some ROMs...
BTW, thank you for your speed 'splanation.
No difference - the name confusion originates from WM_HIBERNATE (i think) being sent to processes, which tells them to free as much memory as possible
IC thank for your responses.

Analysing RAM Usage on the device [DevHealth] - How to Change PagePool size ?

-DevHealth.exe
To get a summary of where the RAM is going on the device, you can use the comprehensive DevHealth application to create a snapshot of the memory usage on the device at any point. DevHealth.exe is available in the Windows Mobile 6 Adaptation Kit and you can run it several ways.
To run DevHealth using SD/MMC card (recommended method)
Create a folder named "2577" on an SD/MMC card.
Rename DevHealth.exe to autorun.exe and copy it to "2577" folder.
Insert the SD/MMC card into the device. This automatically runs autorun.exe from the card, which is really the DevHealth application.
To run DevHealth using ActiveSync or another method
Copy DevHealth.exe to \Windows\Start Menu folder on the device.
Run DevHealth from Start menu.
The device displays a wait cursor while DevHealth.exe is running. At the end of the process, you will have a log file named mem_N.txt, where N is the run number starting with 1 and the highest N is the latest run. The log is saved on the SD\MMC card if it is present, otherwise the log file is saved in the "\" directory of the device.
Now guys, with this tool, we can view the available Page Pool for RAM. On my vox it is 6 MB. How to change this value to say 10 MB ??
Any ideas??

page pool
I'd like to know how to change the pagepool, too.
On my wizard the larger pagepool made my device far more responsive.
pagepool of 10MB will not make any changes in performance.
it will just waste your ROM space.
6 MB is more than enough for Vox. Many people have found 4MB to be giving similar performance. So 6MB is a safe bet.
If you do increase it to 10MB you will be wasting 4MB of ROM.
PagePool uses RAM space and not ROM space. Yes, 6 MB is the sweet spot as suggested by Microsoft.
pagepool
So can i conclude from your comments that this has been tried?
Again, on my wizard i used a 16(!) mb pagepool with a very minimal rom. This gave me a far more responsive device. In fact, my wizard is a lot more responsive then most "high performance" wm devices such as kaisers.
Since the vox has a similar (or actually the same) processor, i was expecting similar performance.
If there was a tool to change the pagepool, as there is for the wizard, i'd be happy to find out for myself and of course post the results to this forum.
Thank you for your answers so far.

Unused services/proceses on Touch Pro

Problem well known for all Microsoft systems users.
By defauld EVERY MS system is starting and running with lots of unused, memory-consuming and system-slowing services, processes etc.
On my Touch Pro I've discovered that ... Opera9 is starting everytime by default. Even if not used two exe files are running on background:
Opera9.exe
OperaPreL.exe
There is another thread about ActiveSync problem which is starting by default and restarting if killed (and draining lot of energy when running)
There is repllog.exe program responsible for AS to be running and this exe is running in background (srarting with system)
There are other files which I cannot identify (gwes.exe biotouch.exe and SapSettings.exe)
Is someone has additional knowledge about WM system or information about "startup" entry in registry please let us know!
Regards

Some experiences for newbies

I'm also a newbie and visited xda-developers to find solutions for my phone needs (lack of memory, useful tricks and enhanced apps). I must thank all you your good job (and when possible I'll donate to the developers, too).
I tried to find some answers to my problems, and sometimes I didn't find them, so, here are some of them. I assume only newbies try to find these answers and experienced people have them in their genes.
Battery: when taking the battery out of the device, or by making a hard reset and them some soft resets without having it totally charged makes the phone to "believe" the battery is full-charged in the level it's when beginning to work. So the device ssems to spend more battery because it is not full at all, even when appearing as charged in the screen.
Low volume of ringtones: I presume our devices have a battery saving system that decreases the maximum loudness when the battery begins to be at criticall levels.
Increase programs memory (WM6) : This appears in lots of threads. I tried every solutions and now I'm enjoying more programs memory:
Installing (or moving -editing Registry when needed) all the apps in the storage card is a good thing. But I "bricked" my storage card (I was afraid of bricking my phone) because of abuse of storaging/reading/moving, so I had to reformat it. Better if you can have a backup in some PC folder !
\Windows\Appmgr contains uninstalling info. Moving its folders to storage card (and moving again needed folders to promgrams memory when you need to uninstall/modify some app) saves some space in programs memory.
Today plugins and start menu can not be moved to storage card
Help files (those htm ones) may be moven to storage card but sometimes you must modify the links.
For all those tricks there are lots of threads in xda-developers. I suggest all the newbies like me to make a search, read all the threads and take some notes (in paper), organize the notes and make a small strategy. Sometimes some links take to apps designed to help to free space or move applications or modify the registry.
Now I'll begin the path to cook my own ROM, following all the steps: learning to create a .cab, learning to flash, learning to cook ..... but what I'd like is to learn to understand the whole registry.
(My specialities are not related either to electronics nor telecommunications but to city planning and building). I'll post some questions/suggestions about storaging (ROM, ExtROM, ProgramsMemory, StorageCard) to expand space.

Where to install Software?? SC or Main Mem!!!

Where to install Pocket PC software?
cant take credit, Source: http://www.ppcsg.com/
I think this could be a sticky, or maybe not! Just good info! As the biggest issue I see here, especially for VZW guys, such as myself, PPC Speed!
Where to install Pocket PC software?
Almost every application works best if installed in the MAIN MEMORY, we need to exercise proper memory/space management so as to keep our PPCs in optimal condition. This is because the more applications you install directly into the PPC's MAIN MEMORY = the more physical memory space it uses to store those application data = the less free program memory it has = the SLOWER your PPC becomes blink.gif.
1) INSTALL IN STORAGE CARD:
i) What should come here:
a. Ideal to dump all those non-important applications here like games as well as information applications, etc, that:
- do not require fast loading.
- do not monitor system resources (e.g. battery life, available memory, etc).
- do not consume a lot of system resources.
ii) Examples:
a. Most PPC games.
b. Dictionaries.
c. Language Translation softwares.
d. Educational softwares.
e, Mapping/GPS softwares.
f. Sprite Backup (storing it here has additional advantages).
g. MobiPocket Pro.
iii) Advantages:
a. The number of applications that can be put here is limited ONLY by the size of your SD Card, i.e. most stuff can and should go here.
b. Saves a lot of space in MAIN MEMORY, especially if you have large applications (i.e. over 10MB).
iv) Disadvantages:
a. Programs stored here run slowest (i.e. take a long time to load, especially for Today Plug-ins).
b. Icons in Program Menu load slower (i.e. take a longer time to appear).
c. Icons placed in the Start Menu will appear as squares (this is because the PPC system cannot find the images of the icons in time).
2) INSTALL INTO STORAGE:
i) What should come here:
a. Stuff that you initially wanted install into MAIN MEMORY for faster loading of Today Plug-ins but fret wasting precious space in there. Like they say, "when no fish, prawn also good", so STORAGE is the next best option.
b. You want your icons to appear beautifully as their original states instead of squares in the Start Menu.
ii) Examples:
a. Today Plug-ins such as SBSH's CalenderPlus Today, SBSH's Pocket Weather, etc.
b. System applications which do not require speed such as XP Shutdown, OmegaOne’s 1-Pass, etc.
iii) Advantages:
a. Programs stored here will not be wiped out after a hard-reset, but note that:
- You have to manually access them from a file explorer.
- Some of them might not work because of missing .dll files and registry values.
b. Make FULL USE of other means of space given to us.
c. Icons (from the programs installed in STORAGE) can appear in their original states in the Start Menu.
iv) Disadvantages:
a. Some PPCs have very little space in their STORAGE (e.g. O2 Mini only has about 7MB).
b. A handful of programs will not work if placed here.
3) INSTALL INTO MAIN MEMORY:
i) What should come here:
a. Most suitable for comprehensive system monitoring programs, multi-functional Today Plug-ins etc.
b. Known programs that can work only in MAIN MEMORY (e.g. Microsoft Reader, Carlsoft Ruler, etc).
ii) Examples:
a. SPB Pocket Plus
b. SPB GPRS Monitor
c. OmegaOne Battery Pack Pro
d. Symantec Antivirus for Handhelds
e. ScaryBear Check Notifications and Notify Clear Fix
f. Resco Explorer 2005.
iii) Advantages:
a. Fastest loading of all the options.
b. Softwares installed here are most stable.
iv) Disadvantages:
a. Limited space in MAIN MEMORY.
b. Worse of all, the more applications you install here = the slower your system response.
c. Therefore, you'll have to choose carefully what you put there.
i thought it's a question -_-'
but good luck anyway ^^v
