[TUTORIAL] Guide to changing your pagepool

[D/\SH]

static = "stays"
dynamic = "dynamite" as in it goes everywhere

just for a little help

you only have to set one of them, static is what i use, a static 32 mb, gives me 184.13 ram

now to change it you have to get a hex editor and search for...

03 15 A0 03 06 16 A0 13 00 10 83 e5 3e

that key, there will be two occurences, change both values (03 15 only) to

"[PAGEPOOL EXAMPLES]

Below are examples of some possible values for the first two bytes of the pagepool offset.

03 15 - Sprint Diamond WM 6.1 stock rom (1.09) default; 12MB dynamic (When viewed under Settings -> System -> Memory, you should have around 203.84MB of Total Program memory available.)
02 15 - 8MB dynamic
01 15 - 4MB dynamic
18 16 - 24MB static (should give you around 191.84MB Total Program memory)
10 16 - 16MB static (should give you around 199.84MB Total Program memory)

[PAGEPOOL EXPLANATIONS AND CALCULATIONS]

"XX 15" pagepools are dynamic based (first byte value multiplied by 4 to determine pagepool size)
"XX 16" pagepools are static based (first byte value multiplied by 1 to determine pagepool size)

03 15 = 0x03 * 0x400000=0xC00000=decimal 12582912 bytes = 12 MB dynamic pagepool
02 15 = 0x02 * 0x400000=0x800000=decimal 8388608 bytes = 8 MB dynamic pagepool
18 15 = 0x18 * 0x400000=0x6000000=decimal 100663296 bytes = 96 MB dynamic pagepool
18 16 = 0x18 * 0x100000=0x1800000=decimal 25165824 bytes = 24 MB static pagepool
10 16 = 0x10 * 0x100000=0x1000000=decimal 16777216 bytes = 16 MB static pagepool
20 16 = 0X20 * 0x100000=0x2000000=decimal 33554432 bytes = 32 MB static pagepool"

What up Dash! Could you possibly suggest a hex editor to use and where to find one? I already tried a search for Hex editor on the site. I guess Hex was too short a term and wasn't included in the search but I went through both pages of editor threads...nothing that said Hex Editor, but then again I may just not know what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

This might help. I've never really done much tweaking with my pagepool but just trying to help.
