New Ramdisk + all 1.60c (96,64,32)

---

I've managed a new ramdisk for ours Himalaya under wm2005

Usage :
put the cab on your himalaya and run it
soft-reset

A new folder named "Storage" appears , this is the ramdisk .

You can install program or store datas(photo,notes,...) on it

On every soft-reset , all datas and programs are here
On hard-reset :
if "CleanRegistryValue" and "FormatStorage" are NO :
all datas and programs are here

if "CleanRegistryValue" and "FormatStorage" are YES :
the "Storage" folder don't apper anymore ....

BUT :
If you reinstall the ramdisk and soft-reset , "Storage" folder reappers and .... tadadaaaaam ... all datas are here !!!!!!!

program are here too but anable to function because some modules of them and links are not here because storage formatted ...

This ramdisk has only tested with Himalaya under 1.60c

Test-it and tell me if you like it
1.
Rom 1.60c 96Mb ram
Ram Disk 32Mb

2.
Rom 1.60c 64Mb ram
Ram Disk 64Mb

3.
Rom 1.60c 32Mb ram
Ram Disk 96Mb



EDIT : Thanks to Buzz for his "ramdisk.dll" !!

Hi...
Nice work TofClock....thanx a lot
But if it's ramdisk,this means storing on RAMs,and RAMs are not persistent memory,so how comes data remains there after formatting storage!!!! :?
I guess that somehow(not sure!!),we are having like 96MB lets say of persistant memory(asuming that 32MB persistant of extrom+DOC,and 64 RAM disk)....it's not logic,but if it's true,then......GREAT
thanx again bro....

It is not in the registry.
You need to make a hardreset your device, like this:
*****
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

Thanks Sascha for the clarification. In the meanwhile I was able to have my ramdisk 8)

I found it by chance: I installed (for the 10th-20th time...) , was called on the other phone so left my device on the desk. It turned off itself,so when I got it in my hands I made the soft reset ... and the ramdisk was there after the soft reset.
As I like to be sure of what is the reason for things I wanted to double check.
I hard resetted again, installed the ramdisk and softresetted without turning off first; no chance again, no matter how many times I tried.
Hard resetted again, installed ramdisk, turned the device off and then softresetted. The ramdisk was there again.

So it was not by chance, the trick for me is to turn the device off before softresetting :shock:
Maybe some of the coding/WM gurus can explain why [some sort of data caching...?] but this are the facts. :P

Hope this can help somebody else.

Go to www.buzzdev.net, into the download section.

There is a Himaupgrade_noID.exe, download and use it.

It jumps some checks and should work...
