Htc Universal Memory Upgrade.

pigeonking · Nov 21, 2007

Hello,everybody: I am very excited that universal could be updated to 128mb ram. I also ask someone to update for me and he say ok. But right now, I don't know whether it is necessary to update the universal. Because after using the rom from mamaich with my 64mb universal, I feel universal is faster than before. I don't know if i update the ram, could it be more faster. I don't have the problem of running out of memery, with mamaich's rom, everything runs ok and faster than before.
So, my question is, what is the reason that universal faster?? the rom?? the memory??rom + memory???
Could someone have updated the memory make some test for us??
thanks a lot.

Anyone who wants their phone upgraded to 128MB can buy the chips from XL Electronics. Then to get them soldered you can have a chat to Joe Tumilty at www.retronix.com (01236) 433345 who will give you a quote per device. Total cost should be around £50...

I dropped their Singapore establishment an email.
Hopefully I can have mine upgraded

I hate running things from the SD card, its just so much slower than the ram.

Anybody in Sf Bay area interested in doing the Upgrade project together (finding the chip, finding the solder e.t.c)?

Hi Waiyaki,

I'm from Singapore too, and do update if Retronix would able to upgrade the RAM in Singapore itself. If the price is right, I don't mind having a 128MB machine myself

TQ and regards,

Techx

Guys just to make sure things are clear this is NOT storage ROM!

The upgrade is for RAM. If your using mamaichs ROM you'll have very little RAM left but your phone will seem VERY quick! You need the RAM if your running lots of programs and specially if your using lots of today plugins. You cannot install programs in this extra space.

Many people have issues with memory leakage but with the RAM upgrade the lowest amount of memory I've ever had is 27MB with 21 applications running at the same time i.e. loaded in to memory/RAM

I must have gotten the wrong idea, but there is 128M of ROM on our universals right? But if we have things like Wisbar Advance Wisbar Desktop, skins for both advance and desktop of wisbar, then have SPB plus and also pocket breeze the RAM gets rather low.

I seem to loose RAM when I do remote desktop to my servers and have to clear up the temp.

WizP · Nov 22, 2007

Yep there is 128MB ROM The excitement with ROM is that some of the new ROMs have just made better use of the space available and so more free space left over after the ROM/operating system has been installed.

Sorry for the newbieish questions... then where are all my contacts, tasks, schedules, emails, SMS and etc stored??

I currently will drain my device with the 4800mAh battery within a day, will the 128mb ram half what I currently can achieve?

The contacts, sms etc. are all stored in the ROM. So far I have noticed a slight decrease in battery life but nothing too serious, certainly not half.

I guess its time to move those installed programs to the Extended ROM

but still the added RAM will provide more stability in terms of running multiple applications or plugins.

Hopefully I get a reply from them and if the price is reasonable, why not?

Inhide it as usual. Then hide it back.

I think I know how to unhide ext rom - let me know how to hide it back...

waiyaki · Nov 22, 2007

The program I found could hide and unhide it. When unhidden, a soft reset did not hid it back so its ideal for installing apps.

Please look at this thread:

it seems (not very clear for me) that you can "upgrade" your Universal only flashing some ROM in particular sequence, that is WITHOUT soldering the chip... Have somebody tried? If yes and really works, could post a more clear procedure?

If you read the whole thread you will se that the user doing this have already changed the RAM in his device. What he is saying is that you can use *another* ROM than the one mamaich released, thats all.

Yes, he explained better after I wrote my message here

First post wasn't so clear
