Ways to free Memory/speed up the Mogul?

Uninstall the codyppc performance cab...while it does speed things up, you sacrifice a lot of RAM by using it.

I just wanted to point out that installing programs to external storage does not help free up RAM. RAM and ROM on a WiMo device (wm5 and later) operate as RAM and HDD operate on a computer. It doesn't matter where the programs are installed. RAM is only occupied by currently running programs. Any executable code no matter where it is stored must be copied into RAM to be executed. Running programs also allocate RAM for runtime use. Once a program is done executing it should free the memory it is using, then the copy of it in RAM is destroyed. A memory leak is when a program does not free all the memory it had in use before it exits (due to programming mistakes). Memory leaking is the main reason why as the day goes on our free memory goes from sad to tearful.

Here is what I have said before about where to install what programs:

For the most part, officially you can install programs on either the internal memory or on an SD card... but in practice, you will want to choose where you will install them. Programs running from internal memory will run faster, but there is only so much internal memory available. The SD card has the advantage of a huge amount of space, but programs will take longer to load. Here are the guidelines that I use to decide where to install a program:

1. If it is a program or utility that is going to be used on the Today screen, a system utility (i.e. memory management, file explorer, email client, internet browser, etc.), or a program that I know I will use on a daily or regular basis, I will install it in internal memory.
2. If it is something like a game, needs a huge amount of space, something that I know I will not use on regular basis, etc... I will install it on my SD card.
3. There are also programs that you can install where the program in internal memory and then save the data it uses on an SD card, ex. a GPS program goes in internal memory and the maps on the SD card or an email client in internal memory while setting it to save all emails and attachments on my SD card. With this stuff, it's usually fine to install the program to main memory.
4. If it is something that has a high amount of personal information, i.e. something like Splash ID, I will install it in internal memory because I can lose my SD card fairly easy, but it is harder to lose just my internal memory.

Can anyone back this up? I definitely saw a large increase in battery life from it...

Yeah... I can, which is why I recommended you do it. With it installed, my available RAM went from 19MBs down to 14MBs. Unintsalled it, and went backup.

Search the forum, there is a whole thread dedicated to codyppc's app.

So this is a true and accurate statement? I could over clock my 6700 but not my 6800?

I just got my brand new ppc6800/mogul from Sprint today and before w/6700 used Total Commander and therefore didnt allow the Sprint programs to load that i didnt want. Is this possible with the 6800? Will this free up Internal RAM?

It has a cleaning scheduler so you can have it clean your PPC once a day. Has a very powerful REG editor so no need for another program to do this, all around great program. So to answer your question I use a combination of Quick Menu/Hibernate utility, MeMaid and GibbsUSA.net Auto Reset.

1) MemMaid/ Not free has a free trial
