[UPG]PagePool Smart Changer

Hello!
I bring to your attention a small script to change the size of PagePool directly on the device.
The script allows to replace the size PagePool From 2.00 to 16.00th mbyte without a reflash of the device and loss of data.
After work of a script it is enough to make a soft reset to the device.
In a script is implemented the algorithm of automatic search of the address of offset and check result of search with use of check value on algorithm MD5 . In this mode every possible checks are made so much what kill the device practically not possible.
Also there is a possibility of instructions of own displacement of value of the size PagePool In a case when automatic search cannot find out it. In this mode value to the specified address is checked only. And if it not in the range of values of the size PagePool from 2 to 16, script also refuses to make changes to a device insertion.
The script is checked up with several firmwares and devices.
If program can't autodetect offset value of PagePool, generate "dev info"
and provide it to me. Im add your device in autodetection feature.
Thankful in advance for responses about work of a script and the help in perfection of this.
Screenshots and script are applied
P.S. Sorry for bad english
latest version available at ftp://intruder.spb.ru/PPSmartChanger.exe

First of all thank you for your hard work!
I read everywhere about this "PagePool". Can i ask what's this? And which PagePool is more wise to use?
TIA

If I correctly have understood you, I answer
PagePool it is area which it is used by system for caching various information. The size of accessible RAM depends on the size of this area for. As a rule this value selects everyone under itself individually. Someone uses the big programs which is necessary a lot of memory, and someone a much small programms.
As the program allows to change this value without loss of data, it is possible to experiment.
If has worked address autodetection that all it should be good.
If has not worked, I need info about your device and firmware to try add your device to autodetection.

Thanks for this sweet app....
Now I can change the pagepool on the fly... even though I wonder how many times I will actually change it...

You can change the size of PagePool as many times as you need without any limits.
Version updated:
1. Improved method of info retrival from device.
2. Added multidevices support.
3. EXPERIMENTAL: Added support of WM6 on FS LOOX C550 (can't test on device, my device HTC Touch)

So, what would be the best size for the Touch? I know it should be smaller, I've read 4MB somewhere but is that best or at least better than original?

I'm using BatteryStatus with enabled CPUScaler and I noticed when I change the PagePool size to 4 Mb, TCPMP player works on higher frequency (299 MHz, Boost) instead of 247 MHz (Max) with 8 Mb PagePool size.
So if PagePool size is 4 Mb and less we have low productivity.
I found that 6 Mb is good size. The productivity is the same as with 8 Mb and free memory bigger for 2 Mb.

Version updated.

How do I uninstall ?

Hum.. Your question indicate that you haven't do a backup before installing the SW ... I've also remark that it is not possible to cleanly remove the SW..
In my concern, I've do a full backup of my device before installing TouchFlo 2.0.. Tried the SW (not really impressed to be honest...).. I do this each time before installing a new (not fully tested application).
Restore my backup to return to the state as before the TouchFlo 2.0..
That's the best way to "uninstall" the TouchFlo 2.0

To uninstall it you have to disable today plugin and delete :
\ProgramFiles\Manila
\Windows\ManilaToday.dll
and Delete at Registry HLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Manila

Thanks to all,
But I preferred to do a hard reset to get a job done more clean

XDA PagePool Patcher v1.4 for ALL Kaiser Rom Files (and Touch dual)

Here it is:
This utility runs on your computer (PC/Laptop) not on your PPC Phone!
You will be Patching the nbh file before you flash your device.
Requires you have Dot NET Framework 2.0.0x or better installed.
This simple tool will easily change:
The Rom Version Displayed during the Boot Process.
The Initial Rom Date
The PagePool Setting (supports Dynamic, 6mb, 12mb, 16mb, 18mb, 24mb & 32mb).
Easy to use:
1. Click [Browse] and find your NBH File
2. Click [Analyze], it will find the Rom Version, Rom Date and PagePool Settings and tell you what they are.
3. Make the desired changes.
4. Click [Modify]
5. If you click [Analyze] again it will verify that your changes were made to the image (imemory).
6. Click [Save]
You have changed your PagePool and/or Update the Rom Date!
I have tested this and successfully flashed the following modified Rom Images:
AT&T WM6.0 Rom 1.62.502
Dopod WM6.1 Rom 3.10
AT&T WM6.1 Rom 3.51
Use at your own risk.
I will be keeping it in my 4shared Public Folder: Kyphur.4shared.com. There is now a folder for the PagePool Patcher, go there for the orignal & latest Versions.
Special thanks to duttythroy, Tayton & Sleuth255 it was their info that got this started.
If you want to support development of this (and possibly other Rom Cooking Tools) click on the [About] button to find a [Donate!] button.
Also, it has been reported to work on Touch dual Rom Files.
Enjoy....

Can you add 10mb PagePool Size ?
Is-it possible to modify the first number in ROM version ?
Thanks for your hard work !

thanks alot for your hard work kyphur. Will this work on slueth's 1.2 or schap's? What is it supposed to say if it don't work? TIA..

No it is not possible to modify the first number, even if I actually overwrite it in the Rom file it will have no effect.
As for adding new PP Sizes, I think I've got it pretty well covered. I mean is there really that much of a difference between 10 & 12mb? Yeah, I know I have 16 & 18 but that's because 16/18mb seems to be a sweet spot with the Kaiser.
Tell you what, if I find other reasons to make a new compile then I'll add a few more PP Sizes.

It should work on all of them.
If it reports any strange data (like Rom Version or Date contains something out of place) or an unusual PagePool Number then let me know.

Very good to have a patcher for all ROMS
But, when I hv used it on your own ROM (XDA live 3.0) and set the PP to dynamic (which I believe is the best), it failed to analyze the ROM again.
So, I was afraid to flash the ROM with wrong parameters

I'm looking into it right now, found a minor coding issue related to adding the "Classic Rom" support that only affected setting the PP back to Dynamic.

Great Great Great
Works flawlessly (tested on many versions)
One last question, can we do it on the phone memory without need to re-flash after modification.
Thanks

Nope, you got to modify the image file before flashing.

Last update:
I did change the PP in your ROM to Dynamic
After flashing the phone freezes at windows welcome screen and never prompt to touch the screen to continue preliminary setup.
I changed the PP of the same NBH file from Dynamic to 32MB, reflashed, and worked.
Couldn't get my favor dynamic PP

Wow, that is really odd, for Dynamic I simply set the values back to their default.
I'm busy with work right now and might not get a chance for in depth testing for a few days but by this weekend I'll give my development kaiser a workout and see if I can duplicate your results.

About .NET framework

Simple thing... I wanted to test iFonts in my TP. After installtion phone said it needs newer version of .NET framework. So I installed 3.5 as guide said. Then i restarted the phone but still iFonts doesnt work. I mean I still get the same error. I installed 3.5 again but no can do. Both the Net framework and the iFonts are installed in the device, not in SD card. Just curious to learn things with WM 6 gizmo.

Is there any knowledgement or what?

post a link of the program (homepage) maybe i can help
.NET 3.5 it's worcking very nice

Dl'd from this site.

by default .net in tp is 2.0
try installing this: http://www.tectonicitt.ro/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.zip

Try enabling it. With a registry editor, go to HKLM--> Software--> Microsoft --> .NETCompactFramework and you should see the 2 versions you have installed change the value of v. 2.xxx to 0 and the value of 3.xxx to 1. Save your changes and soft reset your device. Let us know how it goes.

changing those registry key will make wm to use .net 3.5 by default instead of .net 2 that's all
this is a tweak to increase speed for applications written in .net 3.5

Ok, but first, im totally newb with these things. Normally i've used phone just to talking with some1 so... what is HKML, and how to do soft reset.

i tested ifontz on my device and it's working
download this version http://thedogcorner.blogspot.com/ from what i read the cab version have some problems
softreset: you have a small button on the right side of usb port press it with the pen it have a hedphone icon over it

ah ofcourse that was softreset This seems to be difficult to prepare phone for specific progs if u have to even edit registry.
Btw i installed FinnishT9.cab but that doesnt give option 'Finnish' on lanquage list. I saw also it disabled Scandic from keypad. Uninstalling that T9 file got back Scandic. Is that also .NET framework dependent thing?

slow start menu help

i have a sprint touch pro phone. after a hard reset my start menu has a delay.once i click it, it take about 2 seconds for the menu to drop down. i had the same problem when i got the phone new, but somehow fixed it with tweaks. i really have no idea which tweak helped this. any info would help. thanx

anyone?????????

still looking for a solution

load NetCF 3.5 and Adv Config 3.3...
Then tweak the performance settings to the max in all settings. Reboot and that should do it.
You can also check on the large menu settings. (are u using the Large Menu?)
Lastly, I would just install the latest cooked rom since it seems like you just hard reset anyhow.
See if any of the above help, if not, I will try to think of something else, unless someone knows any other ideas...good luck
