I saw that the oxios hibernate was installed in the rom?! I have tried to install that to, but it not free up memory att all. Can someone explain that to me?:rolleyes:

oxios hibernate installs OK

[batista70]

I found this description of Oxios :

Oxios Hibernate attempts to release as much memory as possible without damaging the internal state of the Windows Mobile device (Pocket PC or Smartphone).

Oxios CloseApps closes down other applications by sending "Close" messages.

I was interested in if the Oxios realy works right on Polaris, I now what the software does.

When a had the Trinity this software worked as it should

I'm trying in this moment and it seems to release a very little quantity of memory.

polaris has large amount of RAM , don't need stuff like oxios.

It is true that it does not work correctly with Polaris. I use the FreeUp RAM of SKTools. It works really great.

...free up memory
This is not an easy one to get, because you have been educated for years of the exact opposite, but I hope I'm able to make all you guys understand:
it is NOT wise to free up RAM. This sounds illogical, but think about it: the purpose of RAM is to have a fast memory available which holds currently running and recently used programs. The probably easiest way to make you understand why its bull to clean up the RAM:

if you "empty" the RAM, 1st of all you do an almost complete write-cycle on the whole RAM which is bad for the hardware itself, it wears out over time
2ndly you wipe the applications you are about to use out of the RAM, so they have to be loaded again from slow memory (eg. ROM) so performance decreases, that what you don't want to happen you actually MAKE it happen...
3rdly RAM is so fast in handling the stuff loaded, you wouldn't notice any load/unload operations in the backgroundSo summed up on the example of Windows Vista: You have learnt over the years, alot of free RAM is important. I agree, with "old" Operating Systems, especially Microsofts, it was. Mainly because they had a totally useless RAM management...
Now with Vista it's different and that Vista uses A LOT of RAM is actually a good thing, not a bad thing. It fills up the RAM with recently used applications, often used applications and applications you might use in the near future to be IMMEDIATELY ready. This actually IS THE PURPOSE OF RAM, "empty" RAM is a useless thing. And if your injection would be: but if the RAM is full, there's no space for an application I use the first time! Right, my answer: the application has to be loaded from HD and the RAM is freed up much more quicker than the EXE can be read from the HD.
The same concept applies to Windows Mobile. And to be honest, the Polaris has so much RAM, why even bother!
