Paul,
Great guide! Tried it this morning on my Wing, and i have 22+MB of ram. I LOVE IT! The only question i have for you is if this is compatible with the Dash (excalibur). I am pretty sure that it is, since it is the same OS (after t-mobile upgrade), but was more curious if it is at the same hex location. (wanted to check, but left it at a friends house). Have you experimented with any other HTC devices than the ones mentioned?

Not sure if it'll work on the dash, the hex location will not be the same. I've only tried this on the Touch and Wing.

paul i have a question, i have my working directory set to my desktop which i just basically created a new folder called "pagepool" i have everything set right now all i'm doing is waiting for the dump right now, all i want to know is how long does the dump take because its been dumping for like 6 mins so far, and does the dump go in the "'pagepool" folder? because i'm not seeing the folder size increasing.. thanks in advance.

The size of the dump file will increase, not the folder size.

Hello Paul, thanks for the work sofar. I am having some issues with getting the dump file.

Sofar I have ran the ROM unlocker and downloaded the pdocread file. When I run "pdocread -l" I get the following for my part 2
"50.63M <0x32a0000> Part02"

When I type "pdocread 0 0x32a0000 part02.dump" I get this response

copy TFFSToFile(0x0, 0x32a0000, part02.dump)
ERROR: ITReadDisk : Read 00000000 bytes - A device attached to the system is not functioning

And I don't get a part02.dump file. Any ideas? thanks!

Hey Paul! thanks for sharing this amazing trick.
But I've some questions about changing Hex for increasing memory.
I used Elf(HTC Touch), After i found Hex valued, is 8MB = 00 00 80 00 (HTC Touch default)
Then what i should do next. Changing this Hex valued to 4 or 6 MB, Is i'm right?
and my CODE is 0x42d3000 not 0x40d2000 when i run pdocread-l

'Mrhotsteppa,' did the dump complete successfully?

'kinoons', if you're not on a Touch or a Wing, I can't help you as those are the only devices i've done it on.

'Raphael on Elf', if the size from 'pdocread -l' is different that's not an issue, just follow the instructions.

Hi Paul,

I ran it successfully. I had to try it ... I couldn't resist.

Set page pool to 6MB.

I haven't noticed any adverse affects from running a smaller page pool (as of yet), and have noticed that the device can handle opening more apps at the same time.

Thanks again!

Shane

Finally I got 4 MB in my program memory
And on testing now.

I'm officially an idiot, before it was common knowledge but now its official. I managed to changed it to 04 instead of 40, and not catch it until it was too late. I guess it'll be going in for repairs.

[PaulOBrien]

Eek, so I assume it won't boot?

This is exactly why it's risky before a RUU is released. If there was a RUU, you could now put it in bootloader and reflash to revive it.

yes the dump was successfully complete but i don't know where it is, i don't think its in the folder i created on my desktop called "pagepool" because i don't see it there....thanks in advance

[PaulOBrien]

I have no idea where it would have gone, sorry.

Talk about a freaking nail biter. Thanks Paul. This worked out perfect. Great instructions.

26+ megs free after reboot. That is with Voice Command disabled and other mild tweaks to the Today screen and startup services. Awesome.

There is a (official Touch ROM) RUU available at pdamobiz:

RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.11.707.1B_4.1.13.42_02.93.90_Ship.exe

I think this would help to get the Touch back to life if you damaged it with a wrong flash.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the step by step. I was able to successfully change the pagepool size and I am happy to report that the program memory is much better. Your instructions were clear enough for even an ameteur like me to do it. I am still looking for tips on how to recover a bit more program memory. I am running an over the air corporate e-mail app (Good Mobile Messaging), that easily consumes 4MB of program memory. I noticed one of the members disabled voice command and made a few today edits. If you have tips on how to do those or any others please let me know. Thanks again!!
Wayne

[PaulOBrien]

There are a few things you can do to increase program memory, i'll post some tweaks when I get back from holiday!

[madds]

my touch is alive and kicking... great!!!
thank's Paul

dario69, can you recommend, or provide tips on disabling Voice comand and your other tweaks to the Today screen and start up services? Thanks - Wayne
