Wm5 Downgrade.. just an idea

[devilboy1488]

is it possible to downgrade from a WM5 mobile to a WM2003SE one via editing roms? or will we have a "driver" problem later? since the WM2003 had that memory slider, that you could share more "store" memory to the RAM sector... that would be nice :)

Hi devilboy1488!

I am afraid you misunderstand the issue.
First, you can't downgrade a device, unless it originally had a WM2003 ROM and was upgraded. The reason is: you would have to change a lot more than just drivers to get the ROM to work.

Second, and this is the important part: The reason WM5 doesn't have the slider is because it uses memory differently.
In 2003 RAM memory was divided between storage and program, and the slider let you change the division. The down side of this was that if your battery runs out, you loos all data (=hard reset).
In WM5 flash memory is used for storage and RAM only for running programs. Since we are talking about two physically different memory types there's no way to allocate one for the use of another so there's no slider. The plus is you don't loos all your stuff if you forget to recharge your device.
