I'm not sure why you guys have so many problems. I'd go with a different ROM too. I have none of those issues, and I do a ton of multi-tasking, and a ton of add-ons. It is possible for me to launch so many things that some of the apps won't respond until I close some, but one would never get close to that number in normal use. I seldom have over about 5 things open at a time. The TP2 wouldn't have sold so well, and still be current if everyone had those problems. I've evaluated 6.1 and 6.5. I definitely don't want 6.1. Every release of Windows has been slower and more resource intensive than the previous one, but always brought something with it. If little memory is the game, then turn off Sense and Touch Flo and you'll instantly be in the 40s.

Two of us guys bought this phone. Travis didn't need a phone as bad as I so he got excited and tried custom ROMs. Excited one minute, problem the next. Compatibility issues, poor battery life, the usual. The only thing that I've found is that one must be careful which apps. I figured GT2L should be pretty benign. Not so, but I have good backups. Things like Remote Tracker were developed with 6.1 and don't work right on 6.5, etc. Almost all of the tweaks software makes changes to the registry for items that don't even apply to 6.5 or are already there by default. If I wanted to use very little memory, I wouldn't use Sense/Touch Flo.

Every problem and instability that I've come across has been from an app that wasn't right, or were built for of 6.1, while I was running it on 6.5. Even with CHT 2.0, and of the pages and levels and Free Links along with WKTask, it comes in at 68%. It might get up to 74% or even 78% while I'm doing things, but it will work it's way back down overnight as Windows returns and optimizes memory.

I've done my due diligence, and judging from reading hundreds of threads and the problems people have with custom ROMs with software compatibility and their work-arounds, I've determined that the minuses outweigh the pluses. The Sprint Apps are simply worthless clutter to me, and hiding them is all I wanted to do. This is my daily driver, not some hot rod.
