Well, that was easy. taskmgrCustRes.dll only has icons, so that was probably my problem:silent:

HTC Task Manager is now running as modules/XIP after recmodding that dll.

Wow, wow, wow!!! Learnt so much reading your dialogues, Dan and Joojoobee. But aint you guys forgetting something, today is THURSDAY. Aint we supposed to be expecting two drops today as in two major leaks? We've been anticipating.
And trust me no amount of xip, modules, files, rom and ram talk is "distractive" enough (permit my english".
Whet our appetites a bit, what's happening to those leaks?
Hey Joojoobee what about that cure we talked about?
Just another leak, that's all we ask for.:mrgreen:

I did just manage to come across this little tidbit:
"The advantage of XIP modules comes into play when one considers the limited amount of RAM available on a typical Windows Mobile device. XIP modules are pre-relocated to a guaranteed available base address, and do not require any runtime alterations to their backing memory when mapped. As a result, XIP modules can be backed entirely by ROM and not RAM, decreasing the (scarce) RAM that must be devoted to holding executable code"

So, if I am reading this correctly, it would be advantageous to convert ANY program/dll that needs to stay loaded/in use for the entire boot into a module. This should in essence free more RAM? (HTC Task Manager is one example, Arcsoft being another, and possibly even some phone/canvas related resources)

ok i have 13-17 on boot after running oxis mb free in high memory mode on my titan in 2102 i had about 24 but i didnt have as many oems
also after letting the phone sit for 10 minutes opening no apps but start to get to oxis i am down to 16-13 is there any oem known to cause a memory leak?

What makes you say leak? A leak is something that continues to consume until you have none left. There are many reasons for memory to be "consumed" at any given time, regardless of whether you are doing anything.

There's a reason why punctuation is taught in grade school. Make punctuation your friend.

Ahh ok, that makes sense. I already converted Arcsoft and Etphone.dll to modules in hopes of gaining some performance from it. So far, my text messaging does seem to be a bit more responsive (I guess it could be placebo). I am going to pull HTC Task Manager from the Geeks OEM, change the GUIDS and convert it as well. I guess I will see how it goes.

Do you know of why this would be a bad idea? Am I at risk of running out of slots for the modules?

You are reading incorrectly.

First, unlike regular loading, xip modules have larger boundaries. Loading a code section that barely fills a region is very wasteful.

2nd, "Freeing more ram" is a misleading synopsis. What you are doing is consuming less RAM than you would if multiple programs needed the code section. You are consuming more memory than if no program needed the module.

3rd, scarce resources can be an issue when consumed by never-unloaded xip modules.

The moral: don't convert everything to xip. Candidates for conversion are things which are a) used frequently b) used by multiple programs and c) have code sections just under the boundary size.
