Hey.
I use a 4gb minisd (TopRAM) on my MDA Vario. It is working perfectly with the Molski AKU3.0.0.0 rom and also with the customized WM6 rom. I can use the full 4gb so my device is recognizing it perfectly.
But, there's a catch. I know that the read performance is somewhat slower if you compare it to a 2gb minisd card. That slower performance is noticeble in applications like TomTom Navigator 6. The voice is quicker than the map so to say.
So my question is if there are any tweaks/registry tweaks that can improve the read/write performance on those large capacity minisd cards?
Of course I did some research about this on internet and I found this page with tons of registry tweaks. I almost applied all of them. See the tweaks at the following URL (if it is allowed by the admins):

Thanks in advance for the advice.
Cheers.

Got the Tmobile wing, or HTC Herald. I'm trying to put preferably a 32bit EMU (e.g. PocketGBA) or at least a 16 bit EMU (Pocket SNES) on it. Used MemMaid to kill a bunch of programs but I'm still stuck without enough memory (RAM). Anyway anyone knows how to squeeze some more memory out of the Wing?
The best method IMHO is to allocate more to programs...since I have a 2GB Micro SD card I don't need storage, but can't seem to do it. And I don't know enough to find and change the memory allocation in the registry (if that's where it is)
Anyhelp?? I just want more memory, nothing fancy?? Suggestions? Looked through several forums and haven't found what I need.: p

The problem is the pagepool.
All cooked rom for wizard have 4 or 8MB pagepool because that´s enough. I guess on wing it is the normal 12MB - too much.
We have to cook smaler ones and we will get back the big RAM like 30MB.
Let´s wait for official update and start cooking without the possibility of bricking.
lol
Dang-it
I was hoping I didn't have to cook the rom, I've bricked things before and once burned....
Oh well I just want it to play GBA, (wanted to wait for PSP2 to come out to decide on getting a portable) I'll hang back and wait for a popular Aserg cooked OS or something. Something using the original windows mobile WWE edition.
Oh damn I've deleted stuff from my extrom, crap should have backed it up... I think it was only the tzone thing, still just in case. well I'll get around to it whenever..
Now to look up how to make sure I use 802.11g and not 802.11b
Thanks man.

I also have a wing and experiencing the same memory problems.. your saying that if i lower the "pagepool," a term I'm unfamiliar with, more program memory will be allocated after a soft reset; right now only 27% of the program memory is free after a soft reset. Is this pagepool thing a simple registry hack, or do u need to flash a custom rom to lower it? either way, can someone please explain to me how to lower the pagepool, or easier, a recommendation for a custom rom that allocates more program memory.. before I switched to the wing, my mda would always have atleast 50+% free program memory.. please help. thanks.

Just a thought. Have you deleted your emails and cleared the temp files in your Internet Explorer?
In any case you should set it up so that these get saved on the storage card.
yes.. doing that on a regular bases does help but pagepool makes a big difference

i thought it was a better idea to set it to 6mb instead of 4mb??
im not sure whats better but i have the 4mb and it works great plenty of memory on a fresh reboot...about 25-27mb
With all applications closed, using the 4mb pagepool setting, I get 21mb.
Apparently each device is slightly different? Wouldn't it be nice if HTC had supplied more memory in the first place...and if Windows wasn't always sucking mem. for no reason

I just got my Wing a couple of weeks ago, installed a new ROM and did the page pool and am very upset with the lack of storage memory. With my MDA I had both vanilla ROM's and full ROM's installed with lots of memory left any where from 24MB to 30MG free storage ram. With the Wing I had installed only a few programs like Intellisync for work, PocketCM all emails and IE cache are on the card, with this I have just 13 mg of storage space. I do not have the newest updated Office...when I tried to intstall it the old was not deleted but this just installed over it and took away precious memory.
I do miss the days of a full stocked cooked ROM with lots of storage memory. Am considering getting rid of this phone and getting something else.
I'm running about 20lb on average. I did have about 23mb before, but had to hard reset (for other reasons) and reconfigure everything. I think I need to see what else I can put on my storage card. Only using about 81mb right now, but was running about 250mb before. Going to reinstall a few programs onto the card today and see how much more I can free up.
Wow i am an idiot. I did figure this out. Thought I set it up to storage card but... anyway thanks,
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324594
much easier to do. I have 6mb pagepool set and when i boot up fresh i get just under 20mb of free ram with a total program memory of 49.89mb. I'd suggest the 6mb pagepool as many people have said the 4mb pagepool is too small and the device will suffer performance issues.
ok guys can ya help me?
which rom is best for these basic uses
do i need a ram disk?
if so will tom tom run better from ramdisk?
I have tried a few of the WM6 roms and
I just cant seem to choose.
i use my xda for
tomtom
watching vids
taking pics
wireless internet
lots of calls n txt
I have a 1gb SD card with tomtom n maps on oh and loads of vids n pics
any ideas at moment running
Syed Ather's WM6 ROM for HIMA
Basic Version : 32MB RAMDisk
radio 1.17
imo all roms are good....differences between them are really not visible 4 common user...
Go for the rom which runs the applications you use most fast and stable. For many people one of the deciding factors is ramdisk and storage memory. These spaces can be used to install apps etc. Apps installed here will run(or at least load) faster than apps installed on storage card.
rom
ok think i will stick with the basic version it seems to be ok
for my use,
will try the premium version on my other xda and work my way
round all the roms and see how they run for me
cheers
Hey guys,
I've installed only 14 or 15 applications from the Market and already got low memory warnings! Two of the biggest apps are SlovoEd dictionaries, 6 and 9 MB. Of course not these applications itself cause high memory consumption but their data (dictionaries).
Has someone already tried to move SlovoEd dictionaries from internal memory to the SD?
I have DevPhone1 with root BTW.
Got today ... sounds not good:
----------------------------------------
Thank you for contacting Paragon Software Support Team!
First of all let me thank you very much for your comments. It really matters for us to know the opinion about our new dictionaries. This was just the first version and a lot of new features are planned to be added in our dictionaries in future. Unfortunately we have not yet found a way to install the dictionary on SD card, but we are working on this as well. Sorry if there are any problems with our software. We really appreciate your time for writing your opinion to us.
That does suck... It it such a great app. use it on my Wizard all the time. May be if you look into moving the applications on the SD card (there is a thread about it in ROM development section) that might work.
where can I download SlovoED dict. for HTC touch (Elf) with english to croatian and vise versa...thnks
SDTuneUp (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366) has been reported useful for SD speed improvement on some different devices.
Any experience on Diamond2?
I changed my SD from 2 to 4 GByte so I decided to use the old SD as a guinea pig and installed SDTuneUp from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366
After two days of use I can report good results.
- SD residing applications are noticeably faster.
- I have .NET CF 3.5 installed on SD and now .NET applications seems to load faster.
- No adverse effects yet.
Hi everybody,
I have tested many cooked roms for Rhodium with both Manila 2.1 and Manila 2.5. I congratulate all of you very good job!
What I mentioned, that ALL roms with landscape support are extremely slow after inserting the SD card (as well as applications which must use the card work very, very slowly). This problem does not exist if you install rom with Manilla 2.5 without landscape and after that you install landscape separately (using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588476).
This solution is not perfect. If someone of rom cookers can solve this, it will be great job.
Thanks in advance...
im having no speed issues with NRG's 28011 dec 31 build of manila 2.5...i have programs installed on my sd card and i store all my music there as well...no lag in running any of these
Which class is your SD card?
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this has something to do with the newer 2.5 roms supporting the documents tab, which likes to scan the entire phone/card for documents.
The link you posted is a 'hack' (a brilliant one!) to achieve landscape in older 2.5 roms and is not one released by HTC. The underlying system is different, is what I'm saying.
There are cabs floating around to disable the documents tab. You could try that and see if that's your problem.
The SD has been delivered with the phone. It's 8GB ScanDisk. I have very large map file (1.5GB) and the GPS software works very slowly. Without the SD everything is OK as well as if you install Manila 2.5 w/o landscape and then you add it - it seems that it is not problem with the card.
Thank for quick answer.
hi yeah disable the documents tab i dont have a slow manila on ark rhodium rom

... but what it means for my case?
I have unchecked the box of doc tab and restart the phone. No result.
I cannot find the cab file responsible for doc tab disabling. Any help?
I have made another test: if manila is turned off, everything goes well. It seems that is the manila problem, only.
I have tested this behaviour with almost all roms with Manila 2.5 listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=2115).
In each case the behaviour is the same: inserting SD card with enabled Manila means extremely slow performances of the phone.
I have used two various cards = the same effect.
No card nor Manila: everything is going properly...
Any ideas ...?
delete this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService]
"DocIndexerService"="DocIndexerService.dll"
then you should be good. it is somthing to do with the doc indexer service not working with our phones.

It must be something you have installed as i use ARKs rom which is Rhodium AF and too have a 8gig card and garmin mobile installed which maps are 1.5 gig and i also have several movies and a ton of music i have no issues with anything being slow i also have the documents tab enabled and have never had a slow down issue. everything is extreemly fast my memory runs at about 58 - 60%. maybe try to flash rom and insert you card and do not install anything first to see the affect then maybe try installing programs 1 by 1 to see which maybe causing a conflict.
Additionally, I have tested roms contained Manila 2.5 landscape but without Doc Tab.
Results the same.
I think that all rom cookers use the same background of landscape support which has big problem with SD card with big files.
I hope at least someone is able to solve this issue.
Thanks for advices... I am going to try them and let you know...

Yes you right... I've left just garmin and there were no problems... searching...
Dears,
Problem is solved. I have no idea why, but problem was cased by folder named "htc" which contained my old cabs for win 6.1 (kaiser).
Thank you very much all of you for help and I am waiting for new roms...
Bye
