Did you change your pagepool to 6? I have it set to 16. Pagepool changer is included in zip. Most Verizon users set this to 6. Sorry you are having this problem. No one else has said anything. Closing unused apps also increases battery life.

JBT- I had not tried changing the page pool as I understood a smaller size would affect (slow down) performance. I can try this and let you know the results. I appreciate the idea.

Try setting it on "0". It's like auto, higher when you need it, and lower to 0 when you don't. That's my understanding of it anyway from what I've read. The Pros around here seem to agree that a 0 page pool is best. I set my ROM on 0 and it's pretty damn fast.

I have tried setting pagepool to 0 and memory seems to slowly increase to over 100 in use. At 16 after about 48 hour memory is at 83.7, gwes is at 13348 with no programs running. With Opera 10 running, memory at 110.2, gwes at 13626. I try to keep memory usage as low as possible.

These results are with my updated ROM which will be available tonight if I have no problems with it today.

This rom is sweet I ran it overnight and the only issue I found was on the contact tab when you tried to link to facebook it restarted sense. That being said it would still eat to much ram for my liking. With PP set to 6 the phone would be at 15 megs in a hour with nothing else installed. I guess WM 6.5.x just needs to much ram for a VZW TP.

I have been running this ROM for 4 days with 16 pagepool, no reset, numerous phone call and text, some opera and I have 92.4 MB In use :scratch:.
I'am not doubting you. I just thought it would work good on verizon phones. Guess its back to the drawing board to see what I can do to reduce memory usage. Thank you for the input.

Re: [ROM] 8\2\10 Generic JBTROM Bare Essentials WM 23569 Sense 2.5.2016 [UC/Sashimi]
 

I didn't look to see how much was in use but it would start out with about 29 mb free after a reset but it would eventually drop to the 15 or so.

Sorry for not getting back to this for a while. Lost my job and looking for work. Tested BE2 last night & dropped my pagepool down to 12. Any lower than this the system becomes too slow and sliders become erratic in movement. I installed XTask so I could use its taskbar memory indicator to see the impact of running apps. I see the O/S come up at 62M and then rapidly drop down as other services and Sense starts up. Sense alone seems to take 20M. I settle out at about 30M free which is really good with Sense running so you have done a great job at paring things down as you've suggested. As I start to toggle between different Sense items (contacts, weather, calendar, etc) the system memory starts to drop off pretty rapidly and does not come back even though the items are no longer running. It's almost like it grabs junks and does free them back. On the Sprint phones this is probably not an issue but with the choked Verizon model it is clear that you run out of ram really quick. I found that a soft reset brings memory right back to 30M and I ran the ROM for a full 24 hours and found that all other things work as they should. This verson will work but a user will have to watch ram closely to remain effective. Thank you for the hard work on this!

Different train of thought about this since you are using Raidzero's baseline. Your ROM is one of the few with the newest O/S that has fully working icons for bluetooth. Is this a result of the kitchen or did you specifically work on this? I have tried several 6.5.x roms with Titanium only and found they fall just a bit short of being fully functional (from my perspective). I use a bluetooth device all the time and the indicator is important. Would the kitchen allow me to create a ROM geared around using Titanium only? I have found using Titanium is similar to Sense although not quite as good in some areas (i.e. Showaco Weather only supports a single city). It does allow me to add the Taskanium app which gives me rapid access to Outlook tasks which I use regularly.

The idea of building a ROM seems intimidating but then so did putting a new ROM on my phone when I started. For the moment I have gone back to NFSROM 1.05 using Titanium only and find it to be the most complete solution for my crippled TP. Free ram is about 40M (with an adjusted 12M pagepool). Performance is much better than under WM6.1.
