Intresting Thing !!!

[Ather]

Guyz i have noticed something very intresting about WM 6.1

Even if you hard-reset or flash a new ROM and perform a No/yes/yes way hardreset..the Ramdisk does not looses its data..i have flashed my currently being cooked ROM about 12 or 13 times and the data which i had since C_shekhars is still there...check it out when u flash another ROM

Hm.... :)
Belive me it not becose of 6.1 :)
I`ve use it since wm5.
I`ve already been reported abut that - sometimes in case of similarity of ramdisk it survive reflash if ramdisk similar.

this is not windows based thing

the most probable cause is same ramsize roms

is this the case?

[gentleblueshark]

Yes, i also agree. i have upgrade my O2 XDA2 to WM 6.0c from C_shekhars one day i try to do a hard reset by pressing Power and Reset button it doesn't do anything what i have installed still there. Any Idea? :confused:

It is deleted .

Strange ......

@obaz is right.
It is happening since the time RAMDisk has come into existance.

May I add to it for all those who want to know more about it that:
When you flash another ROM having Eq to or larger-than-before RAMDisk size then the contents shall survive the Hard reset. But, when you flash the ROM having RAMDisk size smaller-than-befor then the RAMDisk contents shall be lost.

heres my problem, the RAMDISK is not recognized by my XDA as a STORAGE LOCATION, so when i install applications, instead of having 3 choices (DEVICE - STORAGE - RAMDISK), i am only left with 2 choices (DEVICE and STORAGE).

this happened while I was on WM6.1 ver A_CS, when i reflashed to WM6.1 Ver B_CS, the ramdisk survived intact and still it is not recognized as a storage location or drive.

by the way, 6.1A and 6.1B of shekhar has the same 16MB ramdisk. although im not a fan of ramdisk, I NEVER HAD A USE FOR IT, it sometimes just lose all programs installed on it.

for the sake of functionality, HOW can i bring back the old RAMDISK as DISK or STORAGE LOCATION?

see the picture, STORAGE CARD is classied as a DRIVE or DISK, whereas RAMDISK is not, it was a drive before but not now.

This happens when your battery dies.
