In 2003, ram is shared between memory used by program to run and memory to store files, and  programs. Like memory and disk in a Pc.
With 2005, it is more like a PC ram (memory for running softwares) and nvram (disk to store the system, programs and files). Device is the nvram. You do not have direct access to the ram except by running or stopping softwares.

The extended Rom is like a partition in the disk of a Pc. It is not really Rom, it is part of nvram. You will find a way in this forum how to access it and use it like a new disk or an external storage card, that are also nvram. So yes, you can delete or put your own files on it, even store or creafe doc files directly in it. On some devices, the system does not allow these modifications. This is why it was named firstly as Rom.

And we have also ROM in the Flame, 64 mb. In fact this memory is also nvram and can be changed by you but it is more complexe because the data is not structured simply as files and directories. But cooking rom means manipulating this data by removing or inserting files, and flashing rom means writing this data to this nvram. It exists two types of nvram, NOR and NAND. One, I do not remember which one, is optimised for reading and used for the ROM, and the other one is optimised for writing and used for files and extended rom.

When you do a hard reset, the PDA start to work with  microprograms written in the Rom data, this program format one partition in the nvram, the one used by files, and not the other one, the one used bythe extended rom. So the fact that this partition is not formated, it was mis named rom. Then this program copy the Windows part of the Rom data in the nvram. Probably I make errors concerning this last part.

For ram disk, I use something that Menneissys gives us a pointer years ago.

I do not understand your question concerning registry.

I started to have windows mobile PDA with wm03se and the loox720.  Before I was a Palm user.

Conserniny registry I have not seen any differences between wm03se and wm05,  but that does not mean that no difference exists.

The main difference between the two OS is the way PiM is stored. Now it is in one file pim.vol and previously it was in the databases.

But the big main difference is what I have already explained concerning memory and that causes lots of company where not able to provide wm03se to wm05 upgrade like for the loox720 or bad one like for the dill one's.

Humm, Can the Flame Ram be increased say 256MB????

Yes the thing that I liked so much about the Flame is the ability to load tons of program and not worry about closing them. They just keep up running! Space and memory is not an issue with Flame

@ Venom, am I right to think that you are talking about increasing the RAM physically??? By changing the H/W????

Nope, i was thinking about the ext.Rom but as its a ROM it wont work.

You can unhide it and delete all items in it, then u get free space. Next combine the space with the Ram via Software method u get more RAM but this iead is totally wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi

Anyone try this Put your flame to full processor speed, close all running application. Next try open File Explorer and open your WINDOWS directory. Does it takes more than 22 Seconds to open this folder!!!! Mannnn mine takes 22 seconds i dont like it at all.

IS yours opening fast??

Hi Malloth

Well you use Total Commander as your file explorer. Have you tried the default File Exlorer, if you try with this one does it takes you 4 seconds. If yes i have to look for a defragmentation software!!!

Hi,

I'm running my flame in performance mode all the time and I have 1404 files in the Windows dir. When I close all the programs (including the FE) and open the Windows directory, all files are listed in under 1.5 seconds. Dunno, may be because I hard-reseted it about 2 days ago

Yep, somewhere between 2 to 3 for me.

The  trick is not to put too many non rom files in \windows\, and you know if it is rom or non rom by checking the properties of the file.

Those non rom files, it you do not need them, move to anywhere except \windows\, those you need them, see if you can move to somewhere and not affecting the function.

With less file in \windows\, it should speed up the reading time.

My friend and i have o2 xda flame with WM6.1 FLAME_ROM_004_WWE t5
my friends ram changed to 157 mb ram when rom updated  and till this date its not changed .....also he dosent understand anything what he did
