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?

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/11/29/498154.aspx
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

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

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 fix the button issue with games like worms world party on pocket pc
Install buttonfinder (freeware) on ppc and use it to get the codes for each button, when you press them one by one. (codes are like oxC1, just write down the last 2 digits.)
Install Skhexed (trial) and open it. open wwpsave.dat file from the worms directory on your pda.
the file need to be edited to make the game understand device buttons.
Find line 104 (or 109 for some devices especially hp). the line would seem like that:
---> 104 00 00 C1 C4 C4, (if line 104 seems like that: ''104 00 01 00 00 00'', then you have to search for an other line with the codes C1 etc ,and that would usually be the line 109. In that case the line 109 looks like this: 109 00 C1 C3 C3 00)
the 3 codes (Cx, x=number) would be usually in the last 3 colymns but maybe in the inner 3 ,like above. Those codes represent the buttons codes, used for fire, jump and jump2. (from left to right) and we have to change those codes with the codes we had written down from buttonfinder.
Save the changes and enjoy!
On some devices (especially HP like mine, but other brand also) that may dont work, or work for one or two buttons. in that case,the codes need to be changed with CC instead of C1, CD instead of C2 etc.

I have uploaded the .dat file modded for Universal,simply download it and replace the one you have on pda.
Feel free to post for other devices as well.

Useful Information
I'm having so many email's and PM's to provide the info for building the ROM using Flashdisk (FD) and I thought I would provide some general info so that it would help our friends to get at least the preliminary questions answered.
What is Flash disk (FD)?
FD is the additional space usually un-utilized in the ROM (nk.nba). FD has no effect to the space allocated for regular storage (36 - 40 MB). Having FD means, your net storage is: Regular storage + FD. i.e. 40 + 15 = 55 MB.
How to make FD working?
Anyway, my (v7.x) ROM has a 15 MB FD; if you look on the nk.nba then you should find it the offset between 03060000 - 03EFFFFF.
There is a 512 bytes MBR starting from the beginning and then the FAT table. This is just like a physical disk and formatted using regular FAT12 ensuring the device compatibility issue. You need to be bit careful during the ROM building process. Overwriting/overlapping can damage the MBR/FAT header and disk won't be recognized by the OS. The best or easiest idea is to verify the mentioned offset by a hex editor before the ROM getting encoded or flashed.
03060000h: EB 3C 90 4D 53 44 4F 53 35 2E 30 00 02 08 02 00 ; ë<MSDOS5.0.....
03060010h: 02 00 02 00 75 F8 0B 00 3F 00 FF 00 00 83 01 00 ; ....uø..?.ÿ..ƒ.
...
...
...
03EFFFF0h: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ; ................
XIP of this ROM is very important or you may completely loose the FD functionality. Last but not least, most of the (OEM) drivers of this ROM are inter-dependant and exchanging may cause an unstable or non-functional ROM. You need to be careful during exchange.
Please note that, I have a few PM’s that the Hypercore kitchen is somehow unable to handle the FD but I don’t know why as I don’t use this kitchen so I’m sorry to answer.
How to configure MMS?
Create a blank MMS and tap on Menu, Options>Message Options>Servers. Now, tap on New and you can enter the servers parameters here.
Why I can't receive files over BT?
Tap on Start and then Settings>Connections>Beam, check on "Receive all incomming beams". Now, open BT setting under Comm Manager and enable file sharing under FTP tab. I hope you would be able to send/receive files over BT. But please note that, BT Explorer may not work on some cases so the best possible option is to send the files directly from other (paired) device and you should find the files under "\My Documents".
How to RESET / SUSPEND device?
Tap or Tap+Hold on the top-right of the today bar and then Functions>Reboot ...
Best of luck.
ENJOY!!!

These roms are nice and slick,thanks for your efforts. What memory is left at start up on this one please. What makes you think it will be buggy?
Regards
Jay
Update......
OK! So I couldn't wait!
Memory at first start is 39.45 mb storage and 21.94 mb programs, only bug found till now is tapping on wireless today plugin doesn't do anything (if it was supposed to)
Take care
Jay
htc .commanager fix. download it itll do the job
thanks ranju this rom looks like a good cook,ive been tryn to cook my own rom but i dont hav enough ram on my laptop
nice release
Will it work with 64 Mb Ram ?
Thanks Ranju for your permanent efforts in creation of stable ROMs. Your latest ROM is the fastest and stable for me. Very good job. Thanks.

Yep! It works very well indeed, About 39mb storage and 20mb programs. it all works very well, no hangups up to now!

sms/mms
very cool image, no hang up yet
very fast
PERFECT!!!!!
but
it would be nice, if sms/mms have separate folders! (i try to install arcsoft composer again)
after softreset, programhistory won't be cleared, is there any way to change this?
How much ram avilable on 64mb devices after reboot?
This the best ROM version or 128 MB Universal...
Congratulation!
Excusi me, I do not speak on behalf, ot englis...
Well done Ranju. Whilst I have not done any significant testing on this ROM, I trust it's just as fast as your previous ROMs.
One thing worries me though. I noticed that the Potocol Version is still 42.42.P8 and the ExtROM version is still 1.30.162 WWE and conseqyuently installing the Old O2 programs like "Active " and "HotSpots Directory".
Available free Program memory is down to 25.75MB. Is there a way I can Erase the ExtROM and re-flash this ROM?
Thx for this release.
Almost got my 1st heartache. flash error at 99%, 1st time!!!!
2nd try worked OK.
I changed SD drivers, to use my old SD.
1st try didn't work. Reverted to SDHC drivers, and SD didn't work after sleep ( that's normal ).
Switched back to SD again and on the 2nd try, worked ok. SD works after sleep.
As usual I will decode the ROM to learn a bit more.
DFT was also nice, but the ROM structure isn't the best. Lots of files and apps in OEMAPPS, which makes customize a hard job.
I was surprised by some apps in extended rom. Opera is not launching.
GSM is not default mode. It is set to auto.
Tomorrow I'll post more information about the ROM experience.

Interestingly, I got the failure at 99% first time, and it worked second time around.
I've had a single hang so far, but that could be down to the default overclocking. I've switched that off for now, so that should give a better indication of the general stability. So far though, it looks great, although I prefer SMS and MMS to be in separate folders.
The reworked IE for VGA is better than the version (in my opinion) than in the DarkForce release, and the "bug" listed that zoom in the context menu doesn't work, seems to work fine for me.
[Bug Report]
One issue I've noticed is that the width of the editors in Pocket Outlook (in common with a few other ROMs I've tried) seems to be a little bit too wide, and this causes a horizontal scrollbar to appear unnecessarily.
Cheers,
Steve.
Only 21 mb free after soft reset??
Day 1 Report
After 16 hours of use, no problems and no crashes/freezes... 1st time syncing is much much faster...
Good job,
Just highlight a few points of improvement.
1. Set the all SDHC block transfer rate to 64kbyte as it will give better and balanced performanced in TCPMP (played 1.5 hours DVD resolution movie, never paused at all) Windows Media Player...
2. Set the performance overclocking to 520MHz to better stability. Power users can manually set it to 624MHz
Cheers,
Will have more to report soon.
Hey guys!
Just figured out that with the new Android Developer page, Google made all the oooooold releases of the SDK available, including the ancient Milestone 3 and Milestone 5 (Astro Boy and Bender) releases. These are the ones what had the original Cylon style boot animation, and I decided to grab it.
Problem is: none of the current APK reverse tools support or even recognize the old magic header. The dex header is the following:
Code:
64 65 78 0A 30 31 33 00
This is for Milestone 5.
I really want to reverse this, only for the Cylon code, so if ANYONE knows a solution, please, post it!
GTA: Vice City Mobile Modding
While the Android version of GTA: Vice City has yet to be released, that shouldn't stop us from preparing for it. Below is what we know so far about the iOS version and most of it should be interchangeable between both iOS and Android. Update: The Android version has been pushed back till sometime next week.

Yeah it's been confirmed by Rockstar on their website. Kinda disappointing but oh well. I'll try doing some more modding this weekend, I've got a few papers to write for class that are due tomorrow.
This should come in handy for people with devices that aren't as powerful as some of the newer models

There is no gta3.img file. It has been split into few smaller containing txtures. models etc.
I hope someone could look into the Marina car garage mod, that one is so nice! I only can't seem to get it in GTA VC...
Edit: I tried decompiling the main.scm in SannyBuilder but I have to choose a 'valid' game directory which I can't seem to set... Can anybody help me?
how can i edit keyboard layout?
Hmm. Well there is a gta3.img file is the good news, but it only has .dff files, no txd texture files. I cant seem to find any archives (that i know how to open) with the txds! =[[ i WILL make it work haha. i hope.
