Increase Storage (not freeing up, a real increase in MB!)

[Guest segaodma]

Watch this ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpCItfTcC_g...ature=rec-HM-r2

Notice 3:20min ... they guy has 150MB Storage memory!!!

Everywhere I read and see screen shots we all have not more than 95MB Storage memory and everybody is talking about removing programs to free it up. The guy has increased the amount of Storage memory! There must be a way to increase the Storage memory, but how?

Some lite roms here can have as much as 155mb free space so yes it's possible if you remove a lot of stuff from the rom.

[Guest segaodma]

My total Storage memory is 91.99MB.

This meaning:

Total: 91.99MB

In use: 57.55MB

Free: 34.45MB

I know that having a ROM with reduced programs will have more free memory.

And if I remove programs I will get freed up memory.

But the guy has the Total memory increased from some 90MB to 150MB!

Meaning that his (so called C: drive) partition is increased.

How? Hmmmm

come on, open you mind and go in i9x0 Omnia ROM Discussion, you'll found lot of ROMs with storage more than 140mb++ free, only customized ROM can have this much of storage or free storage, with standard samsung ROM, this is impossible and i don't think you can free up such a storage with some magic in standard ROM, and by the way, the video shown was using WM6.5, another diffrence OS with yours :D :lol: :lol:

[Guest segaodma]

That is what I was asking. This means that the "Storage memory" can be increased manually (I guess up to 8GB) while cooking the rom taking space from the internal "My Storage". The WM6.5 takes more space to install (like Vista takes more than XP) so it is natural the ones that are cooking roms with WM6.5 to make more space for it. I was just wondering why so little space for the WM6.1 are they giving it. I would give it 500MB or even 1GB and never have problems with getting SMS any more. Can we have such rom?

[Guest maf107ezk0]

It can`t get up to 8gb, because the 8GB isn`t this memory... The 8gb is My Storage :D It`s very strange but it`s a SAMSUNG :lol:

[Guest tingchung_chin]

hmmm.... the max FREE storage we can get with customized clean ROM, i think is around 140mb++

Using LuFeigs cooked Rom, my total storage is a massive 169.16 MB. Can you better that?

[Guest segaodma]

Seems that the less things the rom has, the more Storage is left. But why isn't the whole 256MB shown if it is the ROM that is used for installing? For example if the rom is taking 150MB then 106 to be free? Why is the installation MBs shown like hidden? Same with the RAM... why only 95MB shown? Where is the rest to 128MB?

[Guest thescope]

the rest is hidden by Windows Mobile. This is a standard for all MOBILE OS's like Symbian, Android, and closed Firamware/OS. its for the "simple" people like the Storage/Program Memory insted of RAM/ROM. there is a balance between beeing an OPEN OS like WinMo and giving the "simple" people an easy time with it.

I think its ok, after all the OS itself has a certan amount of RAM/ROM it needs and since you cant take parts of the OS out there is no need to go there. on a PC like WinXP or VISTA you can take apart the OS using BARTPE and soft like that, but you dont need this on WinMo.

What would be wrong if it says something like this?!

Storage memory

Total: 256MB

In use: 216MB

Free: 40MB

Program memory

Total: 128MB

In use: 88MB

Free: 40MB

Why does it have to hide the memory used by the OS? We all know the OS is taking space and RAM.

That is confusing... someone has total of 90MB Storage, and others have 160MB... really confusing for some newbie.

He might think that his phone has less memory from factory?

Look, if you want so badly to find out, check out the WinMo ioffical BLOG on Microsoft website :D

[Guest Tulius]
