with regards to the Ramdisk clearing on soft reset i think i have found the problem, it is more comlicated than i origonally though and atm there is no solution.
While i was away over hte last week i have been expeimenting with the soft/hard resets in WM5, combined with some reg modifications i tried tonight i have come to the following conclusions:
With a BA running WM5 the soft and hard reset are fundamentally different from 2003se. with 2003se a 'soft reset' would keep the ram alive but restart the OS, a hard reset would clear the ram and storage. I noticed that to perform a WM5 'hard reset' there is no need to hold in the power button - it does nothing. a 'soft reset' and the record + camera buttons do exactly the same. So in WM5 there is not a hard and soft reset, only one type of reset and the option to format the storage (restore factory settings) unfortunatly for us this one reset is 'semi-hard' when compaired to 2k3, it doesnt erase the storage, but it does erase the RAM.
Basically with a BA running WM5 there is not currently a way to 'soft reset' int he 2k3 term of the phrase (keeps the ram) and we will allways lose any data/partitions in it on any WM5 reset.
I believe this is due to the fact that native WM5 devices have no need to kepp thier ram alive when reset, so the functionality was not programmed into the core OS and it is way above my skill level to implement it (Maimach , Buzz, if your reading this, please help!).
All is not lost, as a Ramdisk can still be used for tem files and storage, so long as the flags that tll the OS to partition and format it on boot are there (as they currently are).
