Re: Verizon 6.5 Upgrade Tweaks?

First, on my Verizon 6.5 Stock ROM, my memory use seems to be down. Remember, the fix isn't supposed to reduce memory usage imediately on soft reset, but KEEP it down. I've brought up some web pages, brought up Monopoly, and usually at this point my memory free is around 50MB. As of right now it's still above 60. I'll play some more and see what happens.

But I have some other reasons to think something else is going on...

--- 131072 bytes (or even 10x that much) is chicken s&%t as far as memory goes. If thats all this fix saved, it wouldn't be worth it for anyone. I'm suspecting that when ShareMemSize is zeroed it causes something else to NOT start, and the following things I see makes me think that even more...

-- The ShareMemSizeInUse key under the same Registry branch is 0 and seems to stay 0. Previously that did populate with numbers

-- ShareMemSizeFree is at it's initial FFF00000h and isn't changing, and it did for sure before (BTW that number is over 4GB, so I'm suspecting it's set to a number as large as possible to mean "use as much memory as you want")

I'm going to let this run some more and see what happens
Well, looks like this tweak really DOESNT work. After some hours of use I'm below 50MB and there are numbers populated in both ShareMemSizeFree and ShareMemSizeInUse. Oh well
