I second that! :)
I wish they would increase the dynamic memory heap upper limit to 16MB, there are many apps I tried that needed a little extra memory to run... maybe this way they would increase the compatibility percentage up to 95% :D

If you mean that the 2 applications you had installed "inside" GVM are still there, then this change means a huge improvement in usability. I could just keep upgrading GVM when there's a new one, instead of doing all the work again and again. Which I had decided not to do, if the next one came with an expiration date. Which it did. :)

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM Beta 5 Released for OS2008 and older tablets!
 

It's a bit strange that some applications would need that much heap memory. As far as I know the T3 was the device with the largest heap memory, 12 MB. The TX, for example, had much less heap (4MB I think), even though it's a newer device. If there are applications that need more than 4, not to say 12 megabytes, how could they ever run on a real Palm?

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM Beta 5 Released for OS2008 and older tablets!
 

AFAIK the later Treos had a bit more of dynamic heap.

Is this build _really_ more stable or is just a placebo? I can repeatedly tap outside a modal window to make GVM beep consistently, which is something that used to crash / beep inconsistently in previous versions.

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM Beta 5 Released for OS2008 and older tablets!
 

does this build run on the n900 like the previous one?

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM Beta 5 Released for OS2008 and older tablets!
 

I installed the Beta5 (1.04b) and then the Audible Player from the memory card. I was able to logon to my account and download an audiobook and play it. Then I closed and started it a few times and it didn't crash and reset the storage.

"At last!" I thought. Audible on my N810. Then a tried to start the calculator and it crashed and lost everything. I need to try installing to memory card instead of the internal storage. Still. promising so far.

GVM beta 5 updated/installed without problem on 2007He, pick the 2007 Os N800.

Edit: and yes, hotsync, todo, address outlook without problem, 770/20007He

Re: Garnet VM beta5 is out!
 

OMG! Two threads on the same topic! The forum will crash!

As one who is far more interested in Garnet VM on my N810 than I am in whether or not Joe's N900 has shipped, can I suggest you go pester the N900 forum? If you want to point people to another thread opened on the same day to point out breaking news, please be polite.

Re: [Palm OS] Garnet VM Beta 5 Released for OS2008 and older tablets!
 

Threads merged.

12MB is still a 50% more than our 8MB limit, and as Javispedro pointed out already latest Treos used to have a larger heap...
On real devices there are apps to optimize and maximize the heap size to run heavier apps, but I guess that on a VM this could cause stability issues and given that we can run apps directly from command line with various tweaks I see no harm in having a bigger dynamic heap IMHO ;)
