WM6 compressed roms - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

As I read through the foruns wm6 prophet roms come compressed, which causes a memory leak.
Is there any rom which doesn't do that?
As far as I know crystal v2 will come uncompressed...
any other?

I'm interested in finding out too..
Are any of cloudyfa's roms using compressed dlls? (pdaviet, transformer)

I'm having memory leaks on transformer 1.0, had them on 4.0.0.6 so my guess is yes...

I know... But I really like the design on the pdaviet ones, as well as the extrom.
Seems like i'll have to wait for cloudyfa to release a pdaviet rom with the new crystal v2 features
or if... crystal v2 brought 2 skins like transformer... that would kissass

what do you mean? that you ppc hasn't the same free ram (if no app is running) after a day of usage like it had after a soft reset?
that is a normal behavior. windows mobile has it, symbian has it, too.
if you have 20mb free ram, open an app with 5mb ram usage and then close it, you won't have the same 20mb again.

Yes I know... I had it on wm2k3 but running an app would leave 20kb garbage... wm6 roms are eating 1-2mb just to check an sms!
With compressed exe's and dll the waste's bigger due to the ripping of the cleansing functions compression makes.
I'm running sktools 2-3 times a day to avoid daily soft reset. Regular roms will not waste memory every time I run a program... they do waste the first time I run it and not significantly.

what compressed .exe and dll files do you mean? upx compressed files within the roms? do we have such roms here?

I don't know if it's upx...
but hma4 said in the post announcing the release of crystal v2:
"also this ROM is not compressed, that means there is no memory leakage."
so I assume, due to the memory leakeage i had on most roms, many of those are in here, if not all....

Uncompressed WM6 rom: TNT
As far as I understand the TNT v5 rom is uncompressed. This rom is made by Its Right for Wizard an ported by Gullum for Prophet. I havent tested, but the reactions are positive:

even more tnt5 has compressed exe files, e.g. ppt.exe in windir has 921kbytes - in transformer1 or touch vii it has 2.59mb ...
i auto reboot my prophet every night after spb backup. in the morning my prophet shows 27.9mb free ram, at evening about 24-25mb..
even when i dont reboot memory wont go lower than 20mb (when not running any program). after sktools or oxios memory hibernate it shows 24-25 again.
i dont think that there is any leakage because of these compressed files....

Try not auto rebooting and you'll see the leaking...
transformer 1.0 has it as well as prophet touch vii and pdaviet 4.0.0.6.
had them all, all of them lost memory insanely

in sequence to this question...
and calling out the masters:
How can we compress and uncompress a rom or a specific file in the rom.
is it upx? It would be of best interest to compress some files and not other if they are or not used by the user.
for example:
i use resco explorer so it is in my interest to compress the native file explorer.
on the other hand I would like to uncompress outlook cause I use it a lot.
my point is I personally would like to transcribe a rom and compress some of the files i like more therefore making the rom much faster and adapted to my prophet usage.

Transformer ROM series don't have compressed files, you can check it by yourself. And please don't say anything if you're not sure!

I just said it cause i'm using transf 1.0 and i have some memory leaking. not as much as in 4.0.0.6 but i have it...
it's still the most stable one i've used and the one i keep using

I started using htc task manager instead of htc x-button and memory usage and improved a lot! I haven't soft reseted in a few days and haven't ran sktools at all. If I do I get back to 23mb. but everything get's very slow when running the first time. I'm now at 18mb so i'm guessing htc button is the guilty guy
