I would appreciate some help as to how to clear this problem.

5. Another problem I am facing is that my phone is getting REALLY hot with this ROM. At least compared to MightyROM, it feels a lot hotter. Any solutions?

...

Anyway, I would REALLY appreciate it if anyone could please help me out with these problems. I really like this ROM and want to continue using it but these are my major issues as of now. Thank you!

the RAM "issue" is not really an issue....it is a feature of the newer builds of WM....Windows Vista/7 does the same thing. basically, certain programs and/or features of WM have dedicated slots of RAM to allow them to load/perform faster. you don't have to worry about it... being "wasted"...the OS is smart enough to clear that space if you need it. the only way you will see degradation in performance is if you max out your RAM with a single process, which on this phone is not impossible, but very hard to do.

as far as what progs/features have dedicated RAM, i don't know and only the cook can say for sure(i can almost guarantee TF3d is one though...). i know many people use "free RAM" as a gauge of a ROMs quality, but this is an old "habit" from WM6- and earlier days when devices had minimal RAM. this does not apply to our device....even the Verizon Gimp Pro.

trust me, "idling" at 50% RAM usage is in no way bad and has no adverse effects on your phone, it only makes it "better".

i initially noticed this too....i have found that using your favorite flavor of an auto-backlight changer helps with this and saves battery as well. the stock settings of NRGs ROM has the backlight set to the MAX all the time. changing this to a lower setting or using a dynamic backlight changer will help. some people here swear by a program called Lumos, but i find the built in settings in the ROM to work just fine....u can get to it right in the start menu....and hit menu->auto.

i can't comment on the facebook stuff as i don't use it, and i have not experienced your other problems with manila....one thing that pops into mind is the "golden rule of flashing" though.....you did do a hard-reset after flashing didn't u?....if not, do one now....before u waste anymore time tweaking stuff that you're just going to have to redo anyway....

hope i helped...
