Re: I need a little help understanding this memory thing?

I think the problem you are having with flashed roms is because you have your pagepool set too high! (especially important on a VZW phone!)

The page pool reserves a portion of your remaining ram for operational usage to speed up your phone! (think of it like a ram swap file!)

Before you flash your rom try using the pagepool changer (which should come with the rom your flashing, if it doesn't search for it and use it!)
lower your pagepool to 8-12 instead of the usual 24 that most cooks use.

You should shoot for about 50 - 60% ram usage on startup.
If you don't have that much try lowering the pagepool or removing some apps you don't need.

TF3D2 does take up a ton of ram but voice command does too!
look in your windows startup folder and see if there is anything you don't need running in there and remove it!
TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT PAGEPOOL!!! DAMNIT!!! lol One thing, is there a new pagepool changer available now? At the time (around 9 months ago) there's was this big debate on how the pagepool changer was actually changin the pagepools correctly...like it half worked being that there were 2 values that needed to be changed but it only changed one...is this still a valid assumtion or is it now irrelevant?
