ok, looks like you've loaded it up pretty good with lots of items that use a lot of memory.
Your free storage memory is irrelevent for speed - it's the other number that's important - start/settings/second tab at the bottom/memory - what's that say for free. Now do a soft reset, and what's it say for free?
From personal experience, pocketCM is a MASSIVE memory hog. I would dump it. I also find htc home to be trouble but other people like it.
And yeah, the last question was an old Monty Python line from The Holy Grail... showing my age a bit - neo has the correct answer
"You have to know these things when you're the King"
Edit: and yeah, you should reflash to the lastest rom... 2.17 is better - it's not THAT hard to back everything up, flash, and restore. I got used to it when I was flashing every other day with the 6700 rom kitchen. Besides, at least that way you know your data is really safe and your backups are good
