Ok I'm totally confused so I hope someone can help me!....

Yesterday I finally decided to upgrade to WM2005. I tested a couple of different
ROMs and finally settled on Tofclock's AKU3.2 3.35a which was configured with :

64 MB RAM - 32 MB Page pool - 32 MB Ramdisk

My memory configuration appears as :

Storage Total: 14.54MB
Program Total: 61.23MB

Everything was working fine until I try to install a large app like Tomtom which
insists on installing some bits on the device and my 14.5MB of storage disappears and the installer hangs due to running out of space.

What I'm confused about is where this 14.54MB resides and why it isn't bigger.

I don't really understand the need for this Ramdisk stuff. Can I not just ditch the Ramdisk and install important apps to the device when they won't install to my SD card?

If I had no ramdisk wouldn't the applications I install to the device be persistent anyways?

So far I have installed Wizbar 2 and TomTom to the Ramdisk and I have already run out of space in the device storage memory.

Many thanks,
Laxity.

win2005 dont use ram for storage or programs or anything
it use flash
on 2003 it only used ram for storage and programs and application mem
and you had a slider to deside how much was for mem and how much for programs/data

so a basic 2005 rom give you all the 128MB as application mem
and only the 32MB in \Storage for everything else

ramdisk mean that the program make fake storage out of application mem
and let you install programs and data on it

I have installed the TofClock's ROM(exactly likethe one you installed too). I didnt have speed and storage problems because i installed ALL the applications to the "\RAMdisk".
your storage memory is for the \device directory like some \windows files and \My Documents.

install all your progs in the RAMdisk.

this is so far on of the coolest ROMs, i've been running on this for 4 days now.


BUT i have a big problem with this ROM: it shuts down at 24% level battery.
