[maciekish]

Hi!
Will http://www.modaco.com/Paul-s-guide-to-changi-t256280.html this pagepool change work in WM06? Havnt had the time to try yet!

Yep, works fine. I have it running at 4mb right now, may try 6mb to see if it makes any difference.

I think I saw a link somewhere on this forum for a program that changes the pagepool almost instantaneously with only a single soft reset and no dumping of roms, but I'm not sure if it runs on the Herald, haven't tried it yet. Can't remember what thread I saw it in though.

Last time i saw that proggie it wasnt for the herald.. Im fine with dumping the ROM anyway it jsut takes a lil moment thats it.

take the time to do it manually .. it's not hard.. and a good experience to learn

Already done it on wm5 mate =)

I am running the 6mb pagepool on my T-Mobile Wing, and it works great. You can definitely see the difference in performance, especially when overclocking with BatteryStatus.

Ditto!!

It's easy. Just follow the instructions to the T. Don't use the little program he made, though, since some of our dumps don't match up exactly to his dumps.

I waited 'till I had the copy of the Official ROM to do it and I can safely say that I wish I had done it earlier. I was sweating bullets when I was doing it, but it's faster, smoother and I don't have to reset nearly as often. Now after a couple of day's usage, I STILL have more memory than I had when I first turned it on before. (Of course, I did a lot more optimizing as well.)

Hi,

im somewhat of a newbie when it comes to the wing and WM6. So far i've had the phone for just over 3 days and i already overclocked to 243MHz and 270MHz for boost if i ever need it with a minimum of 69MHz using BS. Ive also used the pagepool method and i did it to 4MB.

My problem is i dont understand EXACTLY what 4MB of pagepool is, and what the difference of 4MB and 6MB really is. But I do understand that it helps resolve the low memory issue. Can someone please explain me in details what the pagepool is and the difference between 4MB and 6MB, as in what are the risks and performance changes.

Oh and btw, in terms of Overclocking. Is it fine what i did? Thank you!

Hi nKiwan!
The pagepool on windows mobile devices is an area of RAM reserved for storing applications so that they can start quicker. In terms of throughput RAM is a lot faster than the built-in-storage. Thats why the OS tries to store as many applications in the pagepool automatically. So making the pagepool smaller makes some of your applications LOAD slower but they will work faster or you can have more apps RUNNING at the same time.

Basically either your apps load faster (bigger pagepool)or run faster (small pagepool).

I run my p4350 (wing) with 4mb at the moment but i think i might go for 6mb soon.

Hi all,
i've a HTC Herald (P4350) and after the execution of the 'pdocread -l' command the result is:

69.96M (0x45f6000) TrueFFS
| 3.06M (0x30fc00) Part00
| 3.06M (0x310000) Part01
| 63.84M (0x3fd6000) Part02
31.47M (0x1f78000) TrueFFS
| 3.06M (0x30fc00) Part00
| 3.06M (0x310000) Part01
| 63.84M (0x3fd6000) Part02
9.99M (0x9fd800) TRUEFFS
| 3.06M (0x30fc00) Part00
| 3.06M (0x310000) Part01
| 63.84M (0x3fd6000) Part02
1.89G (0x79280000) DSK1:
| 1.89G (0x79120e00) Part00

Which Part02 i've to modify?

Cheers!

Thats normal mate!
Did u notice all your part 2 are 0x3fd6000.. Just go ahead with 0x3fd6000 :) I got the same output from my herald/wing/p4350
