Re: |ROM|¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ * |Apr 26| 21916|29020 * Sense 2021 + flavors

Just wanted to chime in a quick review and maybe and idea that some folks may want to try.

I am on the Apr23 Reference Rom with Cookie 2.0 added on top manually. For s&g i decided to lower the pagepool to 12 and see how I liked it. I must say I had forget how fundamentally important having free RAM is since my VZW TP days, when saving RAM was the main driver to flashing custom ROMs like SSK.

I ultimately see a speed increase due to a few things. One primary is that with the extra ram, it seems that file transfer is much faster. I remember, again back when I had the TP, that we used to test speed by seeing how long it took to open the 'Windows' folder. Doing that now I see a much quicker response. Another big thing is i can overclock faster without hangups or freezes. I have been running 787 automatically at bootup using WiMoSpeed and i'm going to try out 806 next, when previously i could barely get over 710. And not to mention the ability to have much more apps open and running simultaneously without them being forced closed.

At bootup I have 42% RAM consumption and after my phone has settled down I'm up to 62% (Not sure of the accuracy of the State Indicator button but that's what I use). I think this pagepool setting is the route I will be going from now on.

Again thanks for the great ROMs NRG, especially the reference ROMs for old Mighty users like me that really like having a blank slate to work with.
