how can you say that when it boots fine when there is nothing running in the background other than winmo itself? seems that somewhere between 60 and 65% mem usage and above can and does cause issues with android booting. and really, anything above 65% usages prevents android from booting period. so you just dismiss problems that people find because you dont believe in the way there finding them? thats real scientific. as far as my method, it most certainly is "consistent". if your using 65% of your mem in winmo according to task manager and android wont boot and its the same thing every time your using 65% thats consistent and repeatable. last i knew, something that was repeatable from start to finish with the same results was proof of concept with a scientific experiment. most developers and testers are running andriod off a fresh boot. they arent thinking about the "what ifs" like what if someone has been using there phone for the morning then wanted to switch over to android without doing a reboot or using something like task manager. again, i just ran the phone up to 65% usage and yet again, android would NOT boot. this may not be a problem for sprint users but for those of us that are VZN users it is indeed an issue we need to be aware of. so if a rom your using is not running less than 60% on boot then you can have issues with android not running. so wouldnt you say thats rom related?
so, any VZN users. you need to be running a pretty effecint rom if you want to run android too. if your running near the 60% mem usage mark then you need to either reboot or use something like task manager to kill any apps that are running in the background(IE they dont close all the way) before trying to boot android. another option is, if you want to run just android, to make a stripped down custom rom. 6.1 is a good option an you will need to drop the pagepool to get it as low as you can.
