Windows Mobile 6 compatibility?
« on: July 15, 2008, 01:43:38 am »
Just wondering if I could load javaop off my phone, or if there is a different bot that someone may know of which contains this technology.

Thanks you,
John

I don't believe so, nor do I know of one that you could.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

There are some JVMs for WM, but none of them have a full implementation of Swing. Even if they did, you probably wouldn't have enough RAM anyways.

You could try to design a custom light-weight bot for WM.

On that topic, my WM6 Motorola q9c has a hard time running any applications in general. The JVM for WM6 bogs down my phone so much I don't think I could run anything else efficiently on it.

Try uninstalling apps you don't use, particularly ones that depend on a .NET framework newer than the one that came as part of your phone's ROM, and keep everything you possibly can on a storage card. WM tends to keep most of the 'internal' filesystem in RAM, particularly when a file is open for writing (presumably to avoid frying the internal flash, since that would irreversibly brick the phone).

I'm not sure whether or not WM has support for virtual memory, but if it does, then the only place for it to page to is flash. Basically, installing files on the internal flash is just asking for trouble.

Believe it or not, it is on internal flash. I have no memory stick plugged into the phone. But still, i would assume even if I get a large microsd card, I would have the same output?

Does it matter?  You can get a 2gb SanDisk MicroSD card off Amazon for $6.

Did you read my post? Yes, it will make all the difference in the world.

2gb micro sd card and still the same results. I terminated all other processes on my phone minus the JVM, the core components, and BNUBot. Still no go. Freezes up phone instantly. Maybe i'll try with a buddies 4gb card.

Simply putting in a blank SD card will have no effect. You have to free up as much space on the internal flash as possible - the SD card is simply a catalyst for that action, because it allows you to do so without deleting the files. With an SD card inserted, you're given the option to install programs (from CAB installers) on the SD card rather than on internal flash, and you should always do that when possible (there are some poorly written programs that refuse to work in that way).

In any case, even if you wiped the internal flash clean, you still wouldn't have enough RAM to run BNUBot, so you shouldn't bother trying. The lower limit for running it functionally is something like 42MB, but that would cause nearly constant collections, so it would absolutely crawl. I wouldn't recommend attempting to run it with less than 64MB of available application memory, with peak performance at around 100MB.
