[Q] Unlock 100% of RAM on a Rhodium 100

---

Is there any way to unlock htc rhodium's RAM from 288 to 512 ? As I found that this device has ( 288 MiB , 188.21MiB accessible ) RAM capacity. Look here:

lol, no. You can't just shove in more RAM, it's not a computer. Not made to be expandable...

then how about this??? see the spec.

A lie? I can say my TP2 has 1gb of RAM, doesn't mean it's true.

Edit - click on their specs link below. It's a misprint.

how about this? is it the possible way to unlock the hidden ram?

Do you even read what you're posting?

The Topaz only has 288MB RAM. Nothing more, nothing less.

That is 32MB of SMI memory soldered into the SoC (the MSM720xA) which is likely of fast SRAM nature. Then 2x128MB (external) EBI memory of slower SDRAM nature. On newer Topaz (as we've seen in the linux-msm kernel adventures) there can also be just 1x256MB EBI memory bank.

The 32MB bank is used entirely by the system and parts of the upper megabyte range of the first 128MB EBI memory as well. (Radio firmware, framebuffer memory, ...) The second bank is - as known until now - unused by the system and is available as RAM entirely.

Regarding memory setup: Every OEM is supposed to provide an OEMAddressTable definition for ARM based devices which is then used to initialize the processors MMU. This address table provides mappings between WinCEs virtual address range and the physical (memory) addresses. It might be possible to tweak that table when cooking the rom, but it's also very likely that malfunctions can appear by doing so. Really not worth the effort as the engineers have likely tuned it to the best already and you could gain perhaps - if possible at all - just some MB.

Let's be happy that we have the amount of memory that we have.

I read, but still hope for miracle from anyone...

Unless someone magically finds a radio that uses less memory and allows for more "free ram" (lay man terms and take the 2.22.27.08 radio for HTC Dream/Sapphire as an example which gained 14mb for system use), there really isn't much you can do other than remapping kernel memory banks available for camera/graphics/etc..

mweirauch explained phone memory pretty well in my opinion, and there are threads like this in almost every device section

Everyone wants a magical placebo that will make their phones run 10,000x faster...

I guess it's human nature. Oh well.
