please help..i can't install programs WM5 1.6c

i am runing WM5 version 1.6c the Storage memory shows 1 mega while the program memory shows 100 mega...but i am not able to install programs i get a message says not enough memory.....please help what is the problem....thankx
Are you new to WM5?
No Dear....but i was thinking that the program memory shown at the memory screen for the program installation....but i found that the paert of Storage is the one where the installed programs go.....so what is the usage of the Program part of the memory and how can i increase the size of the memory allocated to programs installation.
best regards
I've same problem with you. In my xda, I just have 2MB free storage. Maybe anybody can help us to increase our storage

Memory/ Storage Slider

Guys, need some assistance. Try to adjust the Storage and Memory slider. When i have adjusted... it seems it will automated slide back to 50-50 level between storage and memory.
Do i need to do any registry tweaked to resolve this problem.
Programs installed :-
SPB Pocket Plus
Pocket Breeze
IE cache to ResidentFlash
id sure like to know the answer to this too.
i use hardly any memory for storage preffering to install what i can to my 1 gb sd card, would much rather dedicate more mem to program memory
Over 7
Hi
Ive found that if you set the slider for ram storage over 7mb free then no problem otherwise the slider reconfigures itself.

Where to install software in WM5 PPC?

Where to install software in WM5 PPC?
Which way can makes the WM5 PPC runs smoother? Install program in Built-in storage? Or in SD card?
if it's himalaya or blue angel i'd say on the ram disk
otherwise i'd say storage
sd would prob be the slowest place

A connected query pl. Can I make RAMDisk as my default installation location? I mean that when we load any prog on WM5 PPC(XDA-2) it asks us the option main memory/RAMDisk/Card storage . I want that that istead of asking this option every time I load a prog it should load that on RAMDisk by default without asking for option. Is it possible???? :?: :?:

I am using XDA Neo. So which way is the best?
c_shekhar: This can be solved by removing "InstallPath" string from the cab. Just edit the inf file.
isomaniac: It all depends on what program you're installing. Any program that runs on startup must be in main memory as well as any app you will use with content from different cards (like MP3's).
Everything else can go on the SD. With most apps and good cards the delay in loading is insignificant. Keep in mind that after ext ROM installation you have about 30MB free on the device and you can't move things like contacts and emails to the SD.
Also, rings should be in main memory so they will load after standby.

Do you mean that I have to edit all the cab files I am to install on the device??(I install approx 40-50 cabs on the device). I think there should be a betted and more scientific method for this like tweaking the registry of the device or replacing the loading program etc.....
Any body to comment :? :?
Since JUN 2005 no solution to this problem of installing the cab on RAMDisk by default????

How to free PROGRAM MEMORY in wm5

I had a friend who had this problem.I wonder who can help?With my O2 wizard i used to be running short of rom space ie storage memory as it had only 32mb left at factory default settings. My friend is running short of Program memory.ie ram space.
She is using eten m600+ that had 180mb storage for user and only 30mb program memory for user left at time of factory default settings.(when Bought from the shop)
original specs state 256mb rom and 64 mb ram.
after installing many programs the ppc still had about 125mb(excessive and redundant for running programs) left in storage and only 10 mb left in program memory.
Problem is certain programs like mapking, imap, agenda fusion(3000 contacts) consumes about 10 mb of program memory to run. then there is insufficient program memory to run a 2nd program at the same time.
If only we can shift like in my case 10 to 20mb from storage memory to program memory the the etenm600+ ppc would be wonderful.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THIS?
She has also a miotech A700 with about almost the same programs installed.The miotech factory default program memory is also left with 30mb when purchased. HOWEVER with almost the same programs installed the program memory left is about 25mb.THERFORE on miotech there is no problems to run multiple programs concurrently.
Question:
1.What cause the difference in usage of the program memory?
2.What to do to ensure that the program memory is not used up during installation of programs?
3.Are we able to see the Program memory to identify which of our programs are occupying the space?
4.Can we do anything eg to shift the programs that occupy the space in program memory to storage memory or storage card( like the way we are able to shift certain programs from storage memory to storage card by shifting the programs from the Program files in Main Memory to Program files in storage card therby freeing the storage memory)
Any insight into this would be much appreciated. At this point manufacturers had yet to increase ram ie program memory from 64mb up to 128 or 256mb as had been done for storage memory ie rom in the case of eten600+ had been increased to 256mb from 128mb(Eten m600/o2 or dopod products)
With my O2 wizard i used to be running short of rom space ie storage memory as it had only 32mb at factory default settings
Ok, here is the memory explanation:
As you may or may not (I am not quite certain from your post) know on WM5 devices like the Wizard storage memory is ROM, or more precisely flash (NAND if you want to get technical).
Program memory is RAM (I think it's SRAM not sure).
Since these are two physically different types of memory there is no way what so ever to use one in place of the other. So no borrowing storage memory to run programs.
Even if it was somehow possible (which it's not) to use flash to run programs it would bring your device to a halt as its read / write speeds are much to slow.
On WM5 systems RAM (program memory) is used just like on PC exclusively for running programs. It can not be used for storage so there is no danger of it being wasted during installation.
I don't have an explanation regarding the ETEN vs MIO issue, but keep the following in mind:
1) 64MB is in reality reported as about 55MB (binary count difference), 10 - 15 of that is reserved by the system and as much as 5 more may be taken up by resident apps / services depending on the device and the provider.
2) Same program may use up different amounts of RAM under different circumstances and may have memory leaks which means the memory it uses grows over time even if you do not input more data.
Also check out this neat app. Its a really great tool if you want to see whats going on on your device.

.Cab Installation - Not enough memory

HI,
I have a WM 6.1 phone and am trying to install KDKobes HTC Footprint CAB.
I however have a Asus p320 which only has 5 MB of storage left in main memory. It however has lots left on storage card.
Is it possible to change the directory used by the installer so that it can use the storage card instead of the main memory? As I do not have enough space in main memory, the application setup does not run to completion
