I unlocked and flashed to WM 6.1 ROM on my Treo 750. I'm finding that I have next to nothing on device memory lately and only have 2 programs running on the device itself which aren't terribly large, everything else is on the SD. Memory is down really, really low which causes the device to run slow and even lock up. Can someone suggest either another ROM to try which will give me a little more free device memory or any other methods to free up more memory?

Hi,
Over the weekend, my Kaiser starting giving the error message that it was running low on memory, and i suspect that it was due to downloading large files and the system cache filling up.
I tried ClearTemp and MemAid to regain space and it was a temporary fix.
How ever last night my Today screen was not displaying correctly (only showing HTC Home) and a SPB Wireles icon citing that both Phone Alarm and SPB Wireless were unsigned and incorrect parameters.
I decided to check my 8gb MicroSD to reinstall the applications but virtually all data on it was erased (except for the files in use on the today screen) It was only half full.
I cant even access the settings page to modify my Today screen as the 'settings button is no longer there.
Has anyone experienced this and / or know of a fix. I prefer to exhaust all avenues before i hard reset and build it back again.
thanks in advance for your input.
Dear friend,
your situation looks very complicated. I have never faced such a problem,but I am aware of some similar problems....but those problems are very rare,though.
First of all you need to do some back up if you can and format your memory card on your PC.
Then find some good ROM,I suggest a non modified,stock ROM and flash your device.
I know this can be frustrating,but this is the only way to get your device to work again.
Although I do not know what exactly did you do before that problem appeared,the solution is very simple...new ROM.Stock HTC ROM would be the best.
Let me know if I was helpful.
Best regards,
Alexander.
Thanks, I ended up having to hard reset.
I have currently defaulted to the stock Aus3 Rom but am looking at trying the the WM6.1 Aus3 rom, or even a cooked rom!
It will depend how much time i have to try and fix things if it goes pear shaped again! I dont want to Brick my phone!
What confused me is as following:
In the setting\system\device information\hardware tab(tranlated from chinese), it show up the RAM size is 256MB and the Flash ROM size is 512MB, and the storage memory is 279.09MB.
in the setting\system\memory\main memory tab, it show up there are 279.09MB storage memory(ROM) totally and 183.60 MB program memory(RAM) totally.
Why this will happened? The ROM of the Rhodium consume 232.91MB Flash ROM(512-279.09=232.91)? Is it so big? And how about the RAM?
Is there any chance for me to upgrade the ROM and RAM to bigger size in some kind of phone repair shop?

as long as the phone does not run out of memory everything is fine. so why you want to have more ram?

I like to put everything into the phone bringing with me everywhere, including all kind of software and all kind of materials, photo,music, e-book, home video etc.
if the ROM and RAM are not big enough, I will always be worried about them when install software or copy materials. Even it still does not run out off memory, but I do worry about it all the time.
although it can be expanded by TF card, however, many software can't run on TF card and the read/write speed of the TF card is slower than the main memory.
If the main memory is big enough, I can install all of the software into main memory and copy all of the materials into TF card. At that condition, I can easily change TF card to get anymore new contents.
My last device is O2 flame, I do feel comfortable with its big Flash ROM but its RAM still too small and also many other shortcoming.
I ever think of N97 for the built in 32G memory, however, I am used to WM system.
I ever think of samsung i908 for the built in 8G memory, however there is several week points in its specification.
I do not understand why HTC build in so small memory in such a highend model while its competitor,such as Apple,Nokia,Sumsung, are goint toward another way.
get a 8GB memory card, should be enough, and install everything in your memory card. That's what I do, and everything is fine.
Be sure, tho, to install important programs, like drivers, softwares like skins, etc to your device, since the memory card initializes late on boot.
All in all, you should not have any problems even tough the rom is huge. mine is still fast and fancy since day 1, and I have my 8GB nearly full of s***.

I got a 8GB TF card too and it's now in my device.
However, I have to install some software into the card. Then when I change another card for multi-media contents, those software become unuseable. This is not comfortable for using experience.
What I can't understand is why not built in more memory for user's convenience since it's known the ROM and OS occupied so much memory.

perhaps you could have the programs installed into the same directory on different SD cards so when swapping them for Media purposes you do not break the program.
just a thought, never tried it. i can fit everything i want on a 16GB card..
My kaiser phone has standart rom, win 6,1. It is laging all the time from the day I bought it. My memory card is almost empty. I read a lot in this forum, but nowhere found the solving to my problem.
I am thinking, maybe it lags because of my connection, sometimes it is 3G, sometimes EDGE. If any one knows where the problem is and how to solve it, THANK YOU.
Is the actual phone lagging, or just your connection speed?
Trying a different ROM is a good idea, you will find one that is certainly faster and more capabile than your stock ROM.
everything is lagging. I have to click some times, or even wait for about 5-10 seconds or more, until phone reacts.
Reflash your current ROM or grab a new one (how to's are in the ROM dev section), something must have happened in the registry or something that is bogging it down.
Tried a hard reset? Solves all manner of problems.
thank you guys, I will try hard reset and maybe then will flash my rom

Maybe you sold your Kaiser. I have the same problem: orig. wm6.0, orig wm6.1, Tir 18 and others, tried different radio and hardspl. But the lag is often there, not ever but often. I can't say why, I think it's related to the gsm signal: try to work putting the phone functions off (airplane mode) and play bubble breaker....
wayting for Android porting.

I was having the same problem while i was using Windows Mobile 6.1 . Then i upgraded my ROM to 6.5 and this problem has almost disappeared. I have an observation that this thing happens while i am roaming at a low or no signal point. Finally Windows Mobile 6.5 proved to be the remedy for me.
Use task manager and kill all the programs that are running. Many times when my Tilt (WM 6.1) is lagging there are 8 to 10 programs active. In IE, clear the history and hit the delete files button, this usually clears a lot of memory. Make sure that you have plenty of free "Program" memory, install non essential programs to the microSD card to free up some space. My Tilt usually runs quick just by making sure to check these things every now and then and it is the stock rom.
I also use Raiisak's KaiserTweak, increased my cache file size for faster ops plus many other tidbits, HTC Home Customizer by emunutz, FdcSoft TaskManager a really good one with regedit, HTC Classaction 3d drivers, EXT mod for File explorer, etc. Just another route you can go if you don't feel like flashing.
Hey folks
I really like to play emolators like FPSCE or others on my xperia x1. But my Problem is, if I use a good Rom with HTC-stuff the device is getting slowly. Isn´t it possible to get two Roms on your Device, one Rom full Rom with all Programs an one very very lite Rom, the full one for the daily use and the lite one if you want to play Games.
I mean if it´s possible to bring Android with the bootloader Haret on the xperia, a second Windows mobile shouldn´t be such a problem

Actually, having two roms in the system will be even slower no matter how lite is the rom. Rom uses the ROM space in the device, the lack of it will also slow down the system, same goes to the ram. Its like a desktop need Hdd space and ram to move fast. No Hdd you also cannot process the files fast. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Well you're partly right. RAM is the fastest memory in computer/mobile-smartphone, beside processor's cashe. But ROM is just memory, just like HHD in computer, then you can extend it with SD card wich (as I know) is slower than ROM. So the system will not run slower if the ROM is more used unless if you install programs and other things on slower micro SD card. The thing which slows down the system is overloaded RAM, so basicly more RAM - better performance. Speed also depends on other hardware such as procesor, chipset, graphic accelator.....
This means that 2 OS-es installed on the phone should NOT slow it down, unless the ROM is full and need you install every thing on SD or it affect RAM.
This is only true if I'm right that SD is slower than ROM ( I really don't know the ROMs read-write speed, ofcourse there are also different memory cards with different speeds).
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hey guys, I had a TP2 Sprint, now upgraded to MiteyMikes ROM (+WM6.5 I might add) but my fone doesn't mention "loading touch Flo 3D" upon loading up and also there is also Lag in software, turning the screen but a BIG lag when using the windows explorer.
Can anyone explain why that occurs and more importantly how to change prevent it...
Added info:
I think it cud be a shortage of memory. i have ordered a 16Gb mem card from china but its taking ages coming. so to test the fone, I have had to load apps on the phone memory.. could that be a/contributing reason to the lag and should i save the apps to memcard memory when i get it. Can I install them on mem card...
thanks for your help.. well in anticipation of it, anyway...
c0nv1ct
you should post your question in the thread that you downloaded the rom from, if you have a sprint tp2 that would be in the cmda rhodium forum not here in the gsm.
