WM 5 storege memory issue for i-mate ppc

Hello .. everybody !!
My biggest problem is the storege memory it is only 30 MB which is not enough 4 me.
1. i have i-mate pocket pc ( old model no keyboard ).
2. i used to have windows mobile 2003 OS which gives me 64 MB for storge mem. , 64 MB for Program mem. which is very good.
3. i have ugraded my i-mate to WM5 but it gives me only 30 MB for the Storege mem.
4. i installed all my programs into Ramdisk and they work prefectely.
5. But i want to increase my Storege mem to at least 64 MB if possiable.
6. i am running now ( 1.70a.96wwe rom - radio 1.08.00 - Protocol V. 1337.18 ) which is i feel the best no major issue's.
7. i have upgraded my i-mate to 2.01a.00WWE rom thinking that it will increase me Storege mem. but it is the same as my previous rom excpet camera issue solved and some other features.
8. i went back to my old rom 1.70a.96wwe
Please i need help for the Storege mem size if there is
thanks very much 4 our developers for their big effort and kindness

Hi ns700i,
Sounds as if you flashed to the wrong version of 2.01a for your needs. Try reflashing to 2.01a 64 which has 64 MB Prog memory and 64MB RamDisk (i.e. you old set up). You'll then also have 14MB of "Device" which you can increase to 30MB y using the DOC Tools to unlock (reallocate the old etdended memory which you ordinarily can't see). All this is posted over in buzzdev.net:-

Hope that helps.

Haii .. Mallow1
well thank you very much for your reply but i have no problems with my exsiting rom , and if i followed you i will get the same Storage mem 30 MB which i do have now ..
i just need to increase my Storage mem size .. i feel that this is the right Storage mem size i can get 4 my i-mate due to my i-mate hardware configuration.
thanks alot.

Hi ns700i,
You are welcome. Under WM5 30 MB is the max for "Storage" memory so for those wanting needing more "Storage" we have to use a RAMdisk as well to provide the additional storage allocation of memory. Hence my posting above would allow you to use 94 MB total storage for installed programs and user files leaving you 64 MB of mermory to run active programs with. So effectivly you do get more storage (it just gets labelled slightly differently and is split between 30 MB "Storgae" and 64 MB "Ramdisk" or "FlashDisk"). Hope this helps to clarify things. In all othere respects the ROM I suggested you flash to is exactly the same as the one you are currently running (just the memory allocation is different and will result in something very close to your old WM2003 split od storage/program memory).

[fixed] xx MB RAM and XX MB Ramdisk?

2.01a00GER (128 MB RAM and no Ramdisk)
2.01a32GER (96 MB RAM and 32 Mb Ramdisk) (fixed MMS and ActiveSync !! only this one !!)
2.01a64GER (64 MB RAM and 64 Mb Ramdisk)
2.01a96GER (32 MB RAM and 96 Mb Ramdisk)
I don't understand this... Have installed WWE 64/64 on my XDAII and now I can't install applications as my meomry is full...
Can Someone explain it to me, please?
David

Now I know it
Was using with no ramdisk, now flashed with 64/64
David

is 64/64 better than 96/32?

A mystery - Total Memory

Can anyone explain why different ROMs have different memory? (I don't mean free memory, I mean total memory available).
If you click on About in Settings (/System) it informs you of your processor, (total) memory and expansion slot.
Here's examples all from the same Uni (I have 64MB):
48.18 MB Tomal v8
48.81 MB Tomal v7.7
52.82 MB rDosti v11
48.93 MB SHIVAM v310
51.15 MB NNCuong 5.2.19960
49.67 MB Frank v20270
49.18 MB PDAVIET v2.61.30
46.30 MB Mo3ulla v2.15​(NB, you can also see this total memory in Settings/System/Memory under Program Total)

Dear JM,
You can calculate total mem in the following way:
total device mem - (mem allocated for boot + mem allocated for page-pool) = total available mem
example: 64 mb - (10 mb + 6 mb) = 48 mb

Thanks Tomal, and thanks for all the hard work you put in for this forum and your excellent ROMs.
I understand that page-pool is hard-wired in the ROM, and is chosen by the cook for the best performance of their ROM (when running). However, can anyone explain what memory allocated for boot is? Is this another hard-wired figure, or is it dependant on the programs needed for hard-boot.

Question about size of the memory

I have this question: the TP in the settings/memory it looks the storage = 309.47 Mb and program = 180.91 Mb, where is the difference up to 512 Mb of ROM and 288 Mb of RAM?
Sorry for my bad English

rom is storage
ram is what applications use when they run
the reason you dont have full spc avalible is
that windows mobile use both ram and rom when running

thank you for .clarification

Question on Imate Jama 201 Memory

Hello,
I bought I-Mate Jama 201 smartphone having WM6 (not sure if its Prophet or Magician).
The manual says that it phone has 64 MB RAM and 128 MB ROM. When I goto Settings->About .. I see
Total Storage = 44.52 MB
Total Memory = 39.19 MB
The available storage and memory is even more less. I think the device should show 64 MB RAM as per specification or atleast something around it.
I believe Total Memory is the RAM ,
if yes then
{
1. Where is rest of the 24.81 MB RAM gone ?
2. Is this a bug ?
3. Is there a tool/utility that I can run on phone to see what is the total
RAM ?
}
else
{
1. What is Total Memory ?
2. How and where to check RAM installed on Jama 201 WM6 phone ?
}
Thanks

found a link that explains it
