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... |
I have found that usually you will have one package that eats memory. I was having a problem where on first boot i had 82 MB in use, then after about 6 hours it climbed to 125 MB in use. I changed 5 packages to older ones and I'am at 82.5 MB after 12 hours. The trick is to find which package is the problem. Using the newest is not always the best as long as it still works.
I believe with 6.5 nk you cannot have to many modules. I use modules everything that will work that way.
Here is some more good info and tools on virtual memory from Farmer Ted.
