Kaiser missing Flash ROM space?

I am a bit disappointed on the available flashrom space on the Kaiser. On a machine that is marketed with a whopping 256MB Flashrom, in reality, only ~130MB is available.
Now I understand that the OS and the pre-installed softwares may take up some rom space. However, I can't remember any other device taking up more than 70-80MB max on the rom! Besides, there aren't many software that are built-in to the device!
So where did our space go?!?!?!
Anyone know?

Τhe windows folder after hard reset is 113 mb !!!! I think we need new ROM...

This is nuts! I can't seem to locate what is using so much space in the windows directory!!!!
There is a mxip_initdb file that takes 16MB!!!

I'm again with C_shekhar's WM6

Big thanx,,,, I'm an admirer of Indian Profissonal Works. Someone Cooked the rom and the other fixed my Mobile's board geniusly.
but still I have a problem/s.
1- Some programmes like MMS composer is only installing on the device ,, there is'nt any options to install it in any other disks
2- If I installed any programme in my SD card something weired happened !!
the SD card volume decreased,, the Storage of my device decreased and the programme volume decreased... !!!! why and how !!!
3- How can I merge the Storage and Programmes memories of the device ( not of the storage card ) togther to get only one with a big size..!!
4- what is the benefit of the ram disk can I do some manipulations with it to make my device faster !!!!!

Thing to be added
I have to install many medical books as well as some programmes such as Wisbar's, Resco Pack ( Explorer, Veiwer, Recorder ) , Real & Core Players , MMS Composer and some dictionaries .... etc.
Really 30 mb is not enough...
Another issue,,, I've been searching and exploring everything I can possibly explore to find where the 4 mb of the MMS composer is ?? but I unfortunately found nothing... where a hell it goes !!!
lastly, As I mentioned in the thread above,, I do not need the Ram disk and I need something / ideas to make it useful ?!!

First of all, "Program Memory" is not a place where you can put files. It's required by programs to run, just like RAM is required by your desktop computer. The RAMdisk is RAM used as a virtual storage card. What is called "Storage Memory" is flash memory. This is the root file system, and it's persistent. That means that if you hardreset your device you'll lost everything that's on your RAM (RAMdisk) but not what's on your storage memory. Unfortunately, it is small (32 MByte) and slow, whereas the RAMdisk is very fast. You should install all your programs on RAMdisk, otherwise you will not have enough space and your device will slow down. There's one other thing called "Pagepool". It's a part of RAM used for caching, so that program run faster, but you do not need to worry about it.
So, you can't merge Program Memory and Storage Memory. Both are required by your device to run.
What happened to your SD card is quite strange. Try to format it with a sd card reader on your desktop, and check if there are errors on it.
As far as I know, you won't be able to install the MMS software on RAMdisk or SD card because it needs to be in the \Windows directory to run.

Thanx Brother
Everything is clear now ... but Still there is questions to be asked later hahahah

1. you do need RAMdisk:
-it's faster than SD card or Storage
-it keeps Storage clean
-in any decent ROM it IS both hard and soft reset persistent, unless you format it at hard reset.
2. 30 MB is more than enough for almost anyone. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338270
I currently have 18 MB free storage with lots of installed programs, plugins, navigators, dictionaries and so on. If I'd really cared, I could probably clean up more.

Htc should make its Diamond shine

With the latest rom upgrade to 1.37 the diamond is much snappier and is much much better than its original rom 1.35.
What is disappointing though is that the diamond comes with only 60Mb free storage for the user as compared to 115-150mb for the kaiser or tytnII(all these devices comes with 256mb rom)
Htc ought to install some of its default programs and files eg opera, music,ringtones and pictures,etc that had occupied space in the rom(storage) into its internal storage which had 4 gig instead of using the precious rom space that had only 256mb thereby freeing the rom storage space for additional programs to be install by the user.
Perhaps some rom developer can make a clean rom and the default programs can be installed into the internal storage as cab files subsequently
If the above is done the diamond will definitely shines.
I am therefore looking forward to using the touch pro as it comes with 512mb rom and therefore I assume that the free rom storage should be adequate for the user to install a lot of additional programs

Where can one get the updated ROM? I just got my diamond a week ago.. its sluggish at times.. freeze's atleast once every other day.. etc.. I am currently running 1.34.831.1 WWE.
Thank you in advance.

according to the htc helpdesk version 1.37 is not much different from 1.35
it is just a new country rom.

Huh? What's the point of that? Why not just install your user apps to the storage? Besides, installing factory-shipped apps in a user-deletable area is a crazy idea.

This will happen. Why you'd want to waste space installing the optional apps into your precious storage space instead of the spare ROM space intended for that purpose I don't know though...

so you get 256MB (probably actually a lot less, they'll install more) more ROM, and that's better how?

Memory problems with tt7.

Hi All,
When i try to start tomtom navigator 7 you see a startup screen than in a few seconds my touch diamond give me a error with the text not enough memory does somybody now what the problem is?? Because i have enough memmory left !!

have you got other programs running in the background?

No nothing at all !
Storrage 61 mb available,
Programs 41 mb available.
(This is the memory use)

hmm... much installed on internal memory?
i try and keep games/apps installed on Internal Storage, then just system stuff in memory

On my internal memory i got more than 1 gb space that must be enough i guese??

thats ur internal storage,
when you install a program you get a choice to install to memory or storage.
if u go to Start-> Settings -> System -> Memory, it will tell you under 'Program' how much RAM you have left to run progs. Under 'Storage' is how much storage space you have left on 'Internal Memory'.

I do not see anyware in system memory ram use only the use is marked bij mb's an than i have 47 of 111mb so that must be enough i hope?

yeh that should be fine.
i usually have around the 50mb mark, and run IGo8 and TTN7 fine...
did you install TT7 or did it come with the phone?

I install it butt i try it around 5 times and delet it when it doent work maybe there are some hidden files left behind that cause the problem?

yeh... where did u download it from?

I have the same sort of thing, except I get the memory issue, when I exit the problem lol. I too have plenty of memory on both side, using repack 3 version.
It doesn't cause any problems, except for being annoying lol

newsgroups!

I don't have this problem on mine running Dutty's 2.0 but when my friend installed it on his, he had memory problems using the official Orange shipped 1.37. I thought an update would cure it, but upgrading it to the official Orange update didn't work either. Can't remember offhand how much memory he had left to work with.
ROM related or memory related?

Presume you have soft-reset and fired up the program from scratch.....??
If this still doesn't "fix" the issue uninstall and re-install to internal storage (again?) and see if that sorts it...
If you still have the issue you may have to source a different TT7 install same (there are at least 2, repack for the "older" rev works fine for me)....
...still have an issue, then I would look to a hard reset to clear any erronious changes you may have inadvertantly made
Last Hurah......instal a different/newer W6.1 CE ROM (not sure what you are using now...)
Good luck...I'm sure you will get it

I had this and you need to uninstall it and reinstall it on your internal memory. I will not work installed to you device.

srry for not being more detailed,very tired

Do you need 20MB free space on ur instorage card thing. or 20 MB on ur TFAT

You need 20 Mb free on your diamond not your internal storage

What is the easiest way to free up device memory storage? I have tried deleting programs and looking for waisted space on file manager but I can't free up enough space.
