{WM6.1 Compatable}Change Page Pool

[l3v5y]

I have created a simple front end to Paradis_Pals change page pool through activesync method. This was done as an experiment, but seeming as it works, I thought I may as well let others use it.

Thanks to Korand for patching the batch files.


Download and unzip the files to anywhere.
Connect your device with activesync
Run l3v5y Change PP.exe.
Select the PagePool you want.
Wait a few seconds.
Soft reset your device.


Download (Change PP for WM6, WM6.1 for WM6.1 devices):

Is Change PP E-ten X500+ compatible (WM6)? Tested?
What "rake" I have or will have?

[l3v5y]

Suitable for HTC Prophet only at the moment.

The Page Pool
Applications use RAM in two ways. There is code that runs, and there is data that is created while it is running. On a NOR device, the code can run directly from the ROM and not be loaded into RAM first. This process is called XIP (eXecute In Place). NAND devices can't XIP, so their code is loaded into RAM and executed from there. If you don't have a Page Pool, this code is loaded into normal RAM. The Page Pool is a mechanism to limit how much code is loaded into normal RAM. With a Page Pool, we can unload code that hasn't been used in a while and reload it later if we need to. We can't do that without a Page Pool.

Please tell me which size of Page Pool is best for HTC Prophet?
thanks so much

I can tell you only my personal experience:
Compared to the previous 8MiB Pagepool on my device the 4MiB Pagepool is not slower, but I have more free memory.

[bazzix]

The bigger the Page pool, the more programs you can run at the same time without the system being dodgy. You have less RAM available for your programs though.


6MB should be enough in both ways (free ram and amount of apps you can start simultaneously) If not, try 8MB.

You can go up, but only if you have more than 64 MB of ram in your device, then it won't hurt to have more Page pool imho.

helllo, I'm new in the world of the cooking, and i want change PP on WM6.1 on the OS.nb or MyRom.nbh


A solution exists for this release of Windows Mobile ??

Sincerely

Is it for a prophet ROM? as far as I can remember, the prophet uses *.nbf...

You should be able to use this with nb2nbf program, but I'll need to find the start address...

edit: start address is: 0x58956...

[seppi68]

Sorry, i've don't see that this section isn't good, I've a HTC elf and not a prophet !

But I don't find for Elf !

[morfeus3009]

Something is wrong...

I wanted my PagePool to 4MB...but at least i only have 44MB RAM instead og 52MB...

6MB PagePool is working fine...

Can you please fix the 4MB-Problem?!

[l3v5y]

I think that means it has flashed the wrong PagePool size. I shall see what is wrong, and try to fix it as soon as I can.

Thanks a lot :)

One quick thought: Prophet Tools (link in my signature) has the WM6.1 page pool settings. See if that works for you and if not I'll check that out as well.

Oh...this is a great tool :cool:

But i can do what i want....my RAM is not more then 50MB...and this is the result when flashing the PagePool to 6MB...

But i want to have to Flash the PagePool to 4MB, so that i have 52MB RAM ;)

Please fix this...thanks...

[l3v5y]

I will see what is wrong!

[morfeus3009]

I will see what is wrong!

Do you have a solution yet?

Hi
I was using the latest cloudyfa rom which is said to have a 6mb page pool

I made it 8mb and i was fine but i noticed that some programs close automaticly by themselves.
it happened most when i ran 2 programs or more

so i thought its because of pp and made it back to 6mb and soft reset

but after that my device starts so slowly that i can't do anything and it wont get recognized by the pc and activesync

what do i do ?
is there a way to change the page pool in bootloader mode ?

[AlCapone]

Why? - "each "backup" contains 0xC2h, no matter how much I click "12MB"
It does not seem to change anything.

-the WM6.1 conains "enablerapi.cab" - I installd it as well..

(Universal, 128MB, and Tomal/Ranju ROM 7.7)

-Thank you
