[Q] Memory - Task Manager - Totals Different? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

In Settings/Taskmanager the Program memory shows 120.14 MB in use with 62.8 free. But when I change the view to Process memory it only totals 45 MB in use.
What don't I understand? Where is the missing memory?
One time I checked the memory and it showed 100.5 free??
Anybody know?

ROM - RAM - available ?

Hi,
How to extend memory product?
This product have 128 mb of RAM and 64 mb of RAM in technical fact sheet but only 37.63 mb for storage and 48.02 for program in use
Where is the memory missing?
Thank

Storage to program memory

I question:
I always have about 70 megs of free storage memory. I don't use it, since I install on the 4gig flash (it's faster I feel, read/write speeds are faster too).
Anyway, is it technically possible to get 50 Mb of storage to be used as program memory.
Like in magician, one could move the slider.
I think that WM 6.1 automatically adjusts the memory, maybe this is why there is no slider. Maybe a registry edit is needed?
No further idea on this?

How to allocate memory (files/programs)

Hi to all, a question, in older Windows Mobile you could decide how much memory allocate to files or programs, now it's exactly half for one and half for other. I mean, I've a Diamond and use Igo8, but 'vent enough memory to make it work well, cause in program memory, after killing all, I reach almost 40 Mb free. But I've 120 Mb free of main storage memory. Or there's a way to command Storage memory (Internal) to work as Ram memory? ope to be clear, thank-you
Allocating memory is a thing of the past (WM 5.0). Although this fun fact is a thing of the past, the good news is, History tends to repeat itself!
The odds are in our favour that we might see this option return .......

ROM Question: What's eating my RAM?

Hi everyone,
After a Soft-Reset with TF3D disabled this is what I get:
Program Memory
Total: 107.71 MB
In use: 56.13 MB
Free: 51.58 MB
I am using the EnergyROM for my Touch Diamondm build date July, 22nd.
The HTC Task-Manager shows the following Processes:
HTC Task-Manager said:
gwes.exe --- 11565kb Memory Usage
device.exe --- 3137kb Memory Usage
shell32.exe --- 1749kb Memory Usage
filesys.exe --- 1598kb Memory Usage
services.exe --- 1445kb Memory Usage
cprog.exe --- 822kb Memory Usage
dotTaskMgr.exe --- 96kb Memory Usage
connmgr.exe --- 88kb Memory Usage
NK.exe --- 1kb Memory Usage

All of these running Processes are using added together 20,541 MB of RAM.
But remember what Windows Mobile said:
Memory in Use: 56,13 MB.
Less the 20,541 MB, which the running Processes are using, there are 35,589 MB, which are reservated or used, but not by running Processes. So my question is:
Who uses the 35,589 MB of RAM, without being shown in the Task-Manager?
Maybe some of you guys knows the Answer
Greets,
Felix
Its the ROM itself which is loaded in the RAM (i guess)..
i also want to konw
Services and things are also loaded into the RAM. There are more than just those processes running. And along with those processes are the images and extra files they use etc which are also loaded in the RAM.
For example the phone canvas - It runs off cprog.exe which says it only takes up 822kb of RAM when in reality it uses up about 8-10MB because of all the images it has to load.
Not to mention the page pool - If the chef runs a higher pagepool then you're RAM usage is going to be higher on boot.
OK, thanks. Is it possible to view the running services and deactivate some of them?

Yes use dotfred's taskmanager. You can then view the services.
If you really want to save a sizeable chunk of RAM. Disable the HTC dialer and enable the Windows default one. You'll get about 10% back.
allready did that
felix you mean Kb not Mb. 20,000Mb = 20Gb and the phone cannot have that much!
, stands for 20MB and 541 KB
We dont use . or , to show "1000s" here.
we use it to show post decimal positions

How do you do that?
I also had a go with this version of EnergyROM but gave it up for now due to a lack of memory. When closing apps etc. the memory was never freed back up. I also found TomTom had problems after running for a little while. If there is an answer to this, I would switch back as it's the nicest ROM i've tried to date.
How can i see the detail of rom/ram & cpu in my htc hero
I wan to know whether my htc hero is prefect or not!
So i want to see the detail of rom/ram & cpu in my htc hero, but i did not see it. So how can i do?
the same about up
I just want to see the hardware detail in htc hero.

[APP] EatMemory

In light of recent discoveries about the HD2's hidden 128MB RAM, I've written a small application which uses the native Win32 API to allocate as much memory as it can (up to 2GB), and verifies it.
Notes:
This application is designed to test the limits of your device's memory. In particular, to test if the HD2's additional 128MB is actually usable or not.
This application will attempt to allocate as much memory as it can, OS limits notwithstanding. The application allocates memory in the OS's shared memory space, which means that it isn't privy to the usual 32MB address space limit.
Because the application isn't limited to 32MB memory usage, you don't need to run multiple instances to consume your memory. Just one instance will do.
This application does not use .NET, and instead uses the direct low-level kernel memory management functions (VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree) to reserve, commit, and free virtual pages. This means that the application has much more precise control over memory, and can consume memory until only a couple of megabytes remain.
This application verifies the memory it allocates, by writing a byte pattern to the memory, and reading it out again. This is necessary because the Windows CE kernel does not commit pages to physical memory unless the memory page is read/written from at least once. This also guarantees that the memory is, in fact, usable and valid.
The attached zip file includes an executable file and source code (C++, requires Windows Mobile 6 SDK).
hi! i've tryed it in my rom without the hidden ram enabled and the result is:
Success:could not commit pages
memory eaten:132MB
and after the programs close my free ram is 145, i guess last 10mb are not usable for some reaso? (WM6.6 memory management?)
regards

also when used with rom with hidden rams avaliable it closes before it the 1mb is filled
hm, got 180 on my rom
Memory eaten : 276 MB
after 290 MB free
Sorry. This is not working for me... It did not constantly allocate any ram on my device...
with a modified version of my "old" program, i was able to eat up 99% of ram... Still, I think in my first attempt i did proof the existance, cuz i definetly used more then 448 MB of RAM....
greez
Soft-resetted my HD2, run the app. and got 204 MB. So does this proove that I don't have any hidden RAM or not?
everyone has 572mb- stop bothering...
We donĀ“t have the 1. of april, but carneval is still going on, so this may be the reason for this joke i think.
I'm interested if this will work for X1?
it is for HD2
but onyone tst this for X1?
sorry for my bad english
Is 25 minutes to long
I have the htc touch pro with mightyrom and i am running this now. it has been about 25 mins. is that to long or can i assume it does not work on my pro.
Do you think this would work on Rhodium too?
Thanks,
Im getting 272-276mb eaten fairly consistently after the os has been up for a few hours.
and 280-284mb after a soft reset on my HD2

It's odd, it should work on any WM6 (or higher) device.

i try out but i don't see any change in ram memory... stil 179mB..
Keep in mind that the application frees up all the memory it chews once it's done. So after the application exits, your amount of free RAM will not be changed. The application should report how much memory it managed to allocate once it's done, and if you open up the memory screen in settings (or whatever) you should see the amount of free memory drop as the program runs.
Sounds like some pretty heavy stuff. this is gonna be huge
I think, this program can be used for cleaning ram
thank.
