As I understand it the goal is to keep Slot 0 empty. Judging from the screen shot, it is empty right? It says 0 modules. What about the other slots? Are those numbers good or should they be moved around, i.e. less in slot 1 and more in slot 60 or something like that. Some users have reported memory shortages as in programs refusing to open due to lack of memory. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, but everything seems cool to me. Can you guys tell anything by this screen shot?
Also, to recmod or not to recmod. From my reading it seems like that was necessary in 6-6.1, but not so necessary in builds 6.5-6.5.X. Is that a correct statement. Modules load faster thereby making the ROM faster, right? I keep reading that people should recmod this and recmod that to save space. Is that necessary for 6.5-6.5.X? What you see in the screen shot is my 21911 build. I've not recmodded anything and memory seems to be good. Perhaps, the copy of the build I got as already been recmodded... I'm not sure. Point being should we recmod as much as possible or will that slow the phone down?
Also VM is Virtual Memory, right? Is VM the same as RAM? Does it tell you anywhere in the cooking process what the VM of the ROM is or is that something that you can only tell through the ROM on the phone via taskmanager or what not?
Sorry for the long post. Just trying to gain some more understanding... |

if you haven't already try reading this for starters
from everything I've learned... you don't need to worry much with recmod when using the 6.5 kernel... it was developed for the 6 & 6.1 kernels to improve speed thru memory allocation.... In all of my experience with 6.5 (not saying I'm a doctor or anything) I have only run across 3 or 4 files that actually needed recmod performed on.... certian notification enhacement packages and certian concurrence mgr packages. The other instance or two was pretty much build specific.
hope I helped some
