Default Rom With Ramdisk Preconfigured

Ram disk is a very nice addition to the hd, with the amount of spare ram it has. just the program is a pain to set up everytime you hard reset. would be a lovely additiomn to wm6.1 preconfigured to store temp files, cache storage,temp internet files, system files, bluetooth etc. Will have a go tomorrow in the kitchen, limited on skillz in the reg area, may need help.

ps. why are there no roms with ram disk???

I don't know, I have also thought about it, but since my device isn't here yet, I can't do anything . What do you mean by "system files" or "bluetooth"? The other ones are quite clear.

well there is a bluetooth app which redirects the dir, so recieved bt files will go there,should spped things up in terms of the pda should reveives at the same speed but writes faster.

systems files, would be good if the feature of being able to use the feature of ramdisk, to have programs preloaded in a folder into the ram and is not deleted but written to cahce before shutdown and reloaded on start up. could keep favorite programs you wish to run faster in there. maybe startup system files but no sure about that??? to much space??? to complicated..

I don't think that putting received files in a ram disk is very bright, because you will have to move them, before making a soft-reset, else they will dissappear.

Putting cache files into a ram disk will really improve the speed of the browser, but on the other hand you will loose your cache with each soft-reset. On static sites, where a browser can make heavy use of caching functionalities this will also be an advert effect, which will cost money, because you have to download the same content again and again.
