Kaos's **** Sprint Custom rom Build 420 Take 3

* What is the page pool ?The page pool is a reserved area in memory for the windows
mobile kernel.
A ROM in a pocket pc is mainly divided into 2 parts (some other: IPL,SPL,ExtROM but
forget it) :
- The Kernel
- The OS files (IMGFS)ETEN’s Pocket PCs do not have NOR/NAND ROM but a
DiskOnChip that works like a SD card.
The real problem is that the system can’t execute ROM files (including the kernel)
directly into the DiskOnChip.
It has to copy ‘pages’ of ROM into the RAM then execute them.
In a PC world it is called ROM shadowing.

To sum it up : the page pool is a container for pages of ROM shadowed in RAM.
* Why changing its size ? Device manufacturers tend to choose a big pool size in order
to have a pocket pc that can do a wide range of tasks.
In pratice, most users do the same tasks : GPS mainly, some media, then a classical
phone usage.
Most users don’t need a big pool size but a lot of RAM.

stock roms use 4mb. my builds are usually 4mb.I recreated it to use 6mb..thous a faster more responsive rom. why i said it flys lol. I am always making changes to my work on a personal level.I thought i would be generous and share..Including with the new icontact update to .75 from .74. If you guys dont want it then i wont.lol

Kaos... I appreciate your response and the explanation. sometimes I tend to take things literally (rom flys..etc..) until I know better. I have been using your ROM version 2 shortly after I got my mogul and found out the potential of it with custom roms. I tried a couple others and did not like them near as much as yours. I continue to use your take 3 and absolutely love it. I would love to help more if I knew how to do stuff with ROM's.

[BiG JeW]

I can personally tell you I am running it a 6mb instead of 4mb and there is a HUGE difference when openning and closing apps and navigating around the phone. THANKS KAOS the build is SICK when the ***** is stripped!

I just really started playing with this. But if you're changing the pagepool its worth putting my apps back in, Can't wait.

You know the slogan, if it aint broke dont fix it. I always use that. In any case, it doesnt hurt the phone and it has it advantages. Its a personal choice and decision on whether or not to flash

Im sorry, but you guys at Wckediden done turned me into a flashing junkie!! LOL

I have a question about this rom. Im an alltel customer and im running the take 3 stripped version. I was wondering if I am still running off of Alltels network...cuz its always says dialing to sprint network, and sprint gets horrible service where i live. Also, does the GPS run solely off of sprints network or are they separate satelites? And is it impossible to have MMS on sprint based roms?

Dude i'm running this ROM and get we're sorry but Verizon was unable to authorize your phone. I had the same questions if I was on their network! I am a Sprint customer with the Mogul (obviously)

After I thought i knew what i was doing, I came here and realized otherwise. :40: Ive loaded this rom onto the phone, and the phone boots to a standard home screen, and the only i-feature is the contacts. no touchflo, nada. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you're comparing it to the vids and such you see, there's still work to do. Many of those types of apps aren't included in the base rom, but must be added. Some digging around here will find a wealth of toys.

On the touchflo, it's not enabled by default. Go to Start/Settings/Personal/FTouchFlo Config to get started.

no FTouchFlo there. :( I tried searching through all the settings for it. At first I thought i had to soft reset before the default configuration took place on first boot, but that config screen never showed. Just the WM 6.1 logo

[bigp750]

Gotta say this rom is fast!! and very nice.. running it now and i'm sitting at 27mb of memory!!! wow

Nevermind.. Found FTouchFlo.. loaded up the full version this time. Guess I've gotta do some looking, new to this site.

Make sure that your device is set to discoverable. I haf beamed and Bluetoothed files with No issues. Can you elaborate on your issue? are you getting an error messages?

[slick78]

i installed the htc camera hoping that would fix the camera issue but i still get nothing, is there a step im missing after i install the cab or what should i do or try to get my camera working again??

[Veritas06]

Sorry if this is a dumb question: just flashed my Mogul for the first time (I used to have a Blackjack with custom ROMs so i'm not a complete noob, but when the rom finished installing & it booted, it looks exactly like the stock rom plus/minus a few apps. Is there something else i have to add to get the homescreen & everything?

~Thanks in advance & sorry for the noob qustion

As Dash put it, apps. If you take a look at the various youtube videos (either here or on youtube), the authors will tell you which apps they've installed. I'm currently using Ultimate Launcher with the HTC Home plugin for example.

[Veritas06]

Thanks alot guys. I got the HTC Home Plugin working & it looks great!

~Thanks again!

Dude, Koas, loaded this ROM...SOOO much better than take2, runs so smooth! startup memory I get about 27MB free! and on average free memory is around 19-20 MB! only thing I'm not a huge fan about is the iContact program, thing takes forever to load up! Anyway you can do a release without that program? I have swckedMobile running with this ROM too, so sweet.
hey one other thing, which file was it that you had to change to replace that Windows Mobile 6.1 startup splash screen?
