Today's guide is aimed at owners of the HTC Touch and the T-Mobile Wing, as they are 2 devices that seem to have particular problems with device memory, but the same techniques can probably be applied to other devices (untested by myself).

HTC Touch and T-Mobile Wing owners will know that these two devices suffer somewhat from low memory problems. Users need to be careful with what they have running at any one time, particularly if launching memory hungry applications such as the Camera.

Deep in the depths of the operating system of your device, there is something called the 'PagePool'. Without going into too much detail (and as I understand it!), the PagePool is a special area of memory reserved for loading apps into from ROM. This PagePool is a lot faster than ROM, so when things are executed from this 'cache' instead, the performance of a device will be quicker. On the flipside, if you have a 8MB pagepool (HTC Touch) and you're using, say, 4MB of the pagepool, then 4MB of space is wasted that could be program memory. Similarly if you have a 12MB pagepool (!) (T-Mobile Wing) in this instance you would we wasting 8MB of space!

The key is striking the balance...

On both my Touch and my Wing, i've been experimenting with the PagePool, and have personally settled on 4MB. I've tried 2MB (bad), 4MB, 6MB and 8MB, and I think I can happily use 4MB without noticing a performance decrease. I'm tempted to try 6MB out for a bit longer, particularly on the Wing (which has a generally better state of affairs than the Touch it seems), but this guide will let you choose your own.

Sadly, these PagePool settings are in an area that cannot be easily changed, hence this is a ROM guide.[/teaser]

Firstly, a disclaimer.

This guide involves downloading, editing and flashing of your device ROM.

This is dangerous, very dangerous. In a worst case scenario using these techniques, your device will become unusable, with a corrupted 'OS area'. While your bootloader will (should) still be accessible, your device will be a paperweight until such time as a RUU (Rom Update Utility) becomes available for your device with the shipping ROM. We won't be able to help you, and your operator / manufacturers won't either. It's quite possible your warranty will be invalidated by editing your ROM.

If you follow this guide, you take full responsibility for what could happen. I have of course successfully been through this guide myself, but be aware that I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD SOMETHING GO WRONG.

You've read the disclaimer and you want to have a play, now what do you need to do? Here's the guide... enjoy :rolleyes:

Step 1: Install the permissions CAB to your device

In order to be able to do the read / write operations on your ROM, the security on your device needs to be set up in a certain way. Download this CAB file, and run it on your device.

ITSUTILS_Preperation.CAB

Step 2: Create a directory and download itsutils

Now we need to create a working directory. I suggest creating a directory called 'pagepool' on your desktop. When you've done this, download this ZIP file, and extract it to the new directory.

http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070323.zip (Kudos to Willem Jan Hengeveld (aka itsme) for this excellent toolkit!)

Step 3: Extract the ROM from your device

We're now going to extract the ROM from your device. This is a completely safe operation, so don't panic yet :D Take the following steps...

- Ensure device is connected to PC and Activesync'd / WMDC'd

- Open a command prompt at your new directory

- Type 'pdocread -l' (minus the quotes of course)

You will then be presented with something that looks like this:

 70.95M (0x46f2000) TrueFFS

	   |		   3.06M (0x30fc00) Part00

	   |		   3.06M (0x310000) Part01

	   |		  64.82M (0x40d2000) Part02[/code]

We want to read the Part02 area (the bottom line above), so...


- Type 'pdocread 0 0x40d2000 Part02.dump' substituting 0x40d2000 with the appropriate value from your 'pdocread -l' output


You will see something like 'CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x40d2000, Part02.dump)' appear, and after a wait of a few minutes (it is dumping a lot of data!), you'll be returned to the command prompt. During the operation you can open Windows Explorer to your working directory and see the file growing.


[b][i]Step 4: Use a hex editor to modify the pagepool size[/i][/b]


To edit your Part02.dump ROM image, you'll need to use a Hex Editor. The instructions below assume use of the excellent, free HxD application.


After installing and launching HxD, do the following...


- Open your new 'Part02.dump' file

- Click 'Search'

- Enter 'NKKD8'

- Press F3 to find the second instance

- Click 'Search' again

- Change 'Data Type' to 'Hex Values'

- Enter 'FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 9B 4F FF FF 64 B0 00 00' and hit search


You will then be presented with the search results as shown below.




After 8 more values, you'll see your pagepool setting. In the screenshot aobve, it is set to '00 00 40 00', which means 4MB. The possible values are as follows:


4MB = 00 00 40 00

6MB = 00 00 60 00

8MB = 00 00 80 00 (HTC Touch default)

12MB = 00 00 C0 00 (HTC Wing Default)


(for reference, on both my Touch and my Wing the offset location is 37B558... you can go straight to this location be selecting 'Search -> Goto').


So, to change your pagepool size...


- After locating your current pagepool value, update it to one of those shown above by selecting the value and overtyping

- Select File -> Save As, and enter a new name (e.g. Part02.4MB.dump)

- Exit the hex editor


You have now edited your ROM dump, and are ready to flash it back to the device!


[i][b]Step 5: Flashing your edited dump back to the device[/b][/i][b]


[/b]So this is where it gets dangerous. If you've done something wrong with your dump, then nasty things could (probably will) happen. If the flashing process goes wrong, then nasty things could happen. One final warning - you undertake this step at your own risk! Ready to continue? OK then...


- Ensure device is connected to PC and Activesync'd / WMDC'd

- [b]Put the device in flight mode[/b]. This is for safety reasons... receiving a call during the flash would probably be bad

 - Open a command prompt to your working directory (or use the one you already have open)

- Type 'pdocwrite Part02.4MB.dump' (or whichever name you used in the step above)


You will see something like 'CopyFileToTFFS(part02.4mb.dump:0, 0, 040d2000)' appear, and after a wait of a few minutes (it is writing a lot of data!), you'll be returned to the command prompt. DO NOT USE THE DEVICE DURING THIS OPERATION!


[b][i]Step 6: Soft reset, cross fingers[/i]


[/b]Has that command finished (i.e. you have control again at the command prompt)? Then you're done! Simply press the soft reset pin on your device, and when it comes back up, you should see you the amount of program memory in the Settings -> Memory applet has changed. Good job! You can breathe easy again :D

i have a little problem, please help me. i fell so that the touch sensitivity of my elfin is decrease, i have to press wery hardly the screen, to start a program and the scrolling sometimes dont work well...

can i ewrywhere set the sensitivity? pls help.

thx

rob

some one know where i can find wm 6.1 french for elfin?

thanks:=) :(

I now have a Touch HD, but am keeping hold of my old Elf as a 2nd/backup phone. This is the original T-Mobile Elf with 64Mb (not the Elfin).

I have CID unlocked & applied a PDAViet WM6.5 ROM with TF2D. Seems nice enough. However, with TF2D running there is very little free program memory, and I keep getting low memory notifications.

Can anyone suggest an alternative ROM (perhaps with a lower pagepool?) that can run TF3D successfully? A lite version should be ok, as I can install any further apps on the storage card.

Thanks,

Simon

Is there a registry setting I can change to keep it at full volume?

Thanks in advance.

I really like the looks of the Touch and currently have an M700 on Orange which is fine but just doesnt look as nice as the touch tbh.

2 main questions:

1. Is it possible to upgrade the data entry function when texting or adding contacts so that you are able to use the thumb-pad. I really dislike the fact thatr you have to use the stylus. I know that this was the same on the M700 and I had to add a patch to it - is this possible on the touch? (The one they use for the phonepad is great)

2. Has anyone swapped from a M700? and if so what are your thoughts?

Cheers,

I have un-installed all programs I had installed from when this problem started but the problem persists, I think it all started when I installed (and immediately un-installed) the 'today" windows vista look CAB... Any thoughts would be appreciated!

There is a lot of info on how to disable this key and use it as a jogger instead on the t-mobile dash; but the software offfered does not work for the htc touch. Any other solution? The provided software "keys" in the "Settings" does not allow to customize this key.

Any clue?

Thanks

Does anybody here have one they don't use, and would sell to me?

Cheers

I have recently purchased a Touch Pro and am slowly getting to grips with it. I put my current T Mobile sim card into it which has all my contacts on it. If I go through the Windows Mobile menus I can see all my contacts fine. However when the phone rings it doesn't show me what contact is calling. After the call is completed it usually pops up with a message saying "This contact is not on your list" or something like that and I have to go into the contacts list and manually add the contact from there to get it to show me who is calling on the screen the next time.

Why is this if the contacts list is already in the phone and showing up when I look at it?. Is there a way to have all my contacts added in so that every one of them shows up when someone calls or do I have to do them all manually one at a time?. Because that would take ages as I have a lot of contacts!!!.

Many thanks for any advice you guys can give.

1. What's the best way to do a hard-reset?

2. Will i lose all the Orange settings for SMS/MMS/WAP etc.? If so, how can i restore these?

3. I did the page-pool tweak some time ago - will I lose this?

4. What about a new ROM - any recommendations?

5. Any other recommendations/advice??

Many thanks

Im kinda new to these types of phones LOL.

Basicly i was given a T-Mob touch (elf), i think that whats it called?. its the black one with 2 buttons. very small.

I was searching on the internet and found this fanstasic forum and hoping to get some help.

Basicly i want to remove all the t-mobile branding from my phone, the horrable t-mobile startup screen ect.

Any ideas?

So now I'm going to work at my dad's business and I wanted to know if there are any Accounting or Inventory Program/Application/Software that runs on Windows Mobile 6. I haven't had any luck looking for it, if anyone knows one please don't hesiatte on posting it here. Even the name only.

With and application like this on my phone, I could manage the business' finances better. Also it would be faster to verify the Inventory and everithing. :)

Thanks By The Way

Your help is really appreciated.

I got a Windows Mobile application that needs to communicate to an external board through Bluetooth Serial Port Profile. External Board will support only Bluetooth SPP profile.

I bought a Windows Mobile device(HTC P3470) for running this application. This device doesn't support Serial Port Profile. Instead it supports Head Set Profile which is based on Serial port Profile. Is it possible to register/publish Serial Port service on this device? So that communication can be done through Bluetooth Serial Port.

Thanks & Regards,
