Default Pagepool on ppc-6800?

Has anyone looked into changing the pagepool on these devices? Do the hacks elsewhere on the board ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324676 ) work on this device?

I would *love* to free up another ~4mb of memory...

Default you wouldn't want to free 4mb anyways

i've tried every hack on adjusting the pagepool on my mogul. The closest i have come to success was using the same method as the TMobile Wing tutorial. Needless to say, it didn't work. But I was able to determine that the Mogul has a 6mb pagepool by default. If you "freed another 4mb" like you stated, you would be down to 2mb pagepool and running really slow.....

Just my two cents....

This may have been how he did it...

1. Dump the ROM image
2. open it in a hex viewer...
3. search for "FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 9B 4F FF FF 64 B0 00 00"
4. search for the same hex values again...

This is what I get at offset 003B9090:
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 9B 4F FF FF 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 50 BF 04 80 00 00 60 00

Looking at stuff around XDA Developers I came up with the same conclusion that we have a 6mb page pool.

Now because this was done with information from other devices, this may not be the correct one as CDMA devices can sometimes be different. There are two occurrences of this string and all instructions say take the second one...

This is what I used as a guide to find the page pool size:

WHY did HTC release this phone with only 47mb memory usable??? THis sucks.. this phone would be perfect with 128mb memory (or even 96mb memory..)

I'm seriously considering dropping voice command to free up the ~4mb or so of mem that it takes..
