Although you may be right, and a 16mb pagepool may be best with this rom, I always use (and recommend) a 24mb pagepool (at least with non-verizon tps). Yes you sacrifice a little ram (which I think we have more than enough of, especially with a WM 6.5 rom), but you gain extra speed. Ram is only good up to a point, and since we are no longer ram deficient (Moguls), the benefit of speed far outweighs the incremental gain in ram. What good is all the ram if your system is slower to respond?

Anyways, a friend and I have actually tested this on the Copper rom, which is 16mb by default. We found changing it to 24mb made the rom even faster.

Do you just use a 16mb pagepool just because others have suggested it in general? Or:
Have you done actual pagepool testing with this rom?
What's your reasoning behind using a 16mb pp?

I just don't think the extra ram you get from a lower pp is worth the loss in speed. I might eventually play around with it on this rom, but I am a fan of 24mb.

Noob question. Doesn't more memory use mean more energy use?

Starman - Running 1.6a now w/Titanium and Mobile Shell 3... Played around with it a bit last night before sleep and it ran great. Now, have it all set up for the first full day of work, so I will let you know at the end of the day.

For those of you that have tried Mobile Shell and like it, this 1.6a w/Titanium looks to be the best ROM to run it on. Graphics and animation are smooth, You Tube looks excellent, and the phone seems to run great.

How: See the pagepool application in the ROM download. Use it to open the main large ROM file. It will show what the current pagepool setting is and can be used to apply a different one if desired.

Why: TF3D works best with a larger pagepool size like 24MB. (People who claim Juicy 7 is slow probably were not using a 24MB pagepool, but 16MB which is the default setting on that ROM.) WM 6.5's Titanium interface does not need as much in resources, so if someone is not using TF3D they probably should use a 16MB pagepool. Got it from a pretty reliable source and found it to be true in my own use of various ROMs .

The lower the pagepool setting, the more program memory you will have free for use with other applications that you run.

Great so far!!!! Performance and available memory is incredible....

I fixed my "missing taskbar" issue by search, however I am still unsure about the volume control. So we can get seperate volume control, but they will reset and merge again after soft reset, correct?

For example at night I want to listen to music but keep my ringer off... Any suggestions? Best Regards,

Edit: My volume seems to have split. I installed the 6.5 taskbar, I wonder if that did it? I have the notifications issue I read about, not always popping up. Installing the Rhodium notifications cab is the fix for this, correct?

I've tried Mobile Shell 3.0 and can't get the colors to change under themes. Had to uninstall it due to me hating the color purple and not being able to change it. Any fix for that?

I haven't had the time to really dive into all the different things one can do with MS3, but I am compiling a list of threads, placed to go to look up the different ways to customize.

As for the color, all I did was go into the settings for 'Today' and change the theme to HTC Black. That took care of all the screens except on the 'lifestyle' tab. To change that, hit the icon in the bottom right corner, and choose 'change background' once there you should see a few different options.

There are a bunch of sites with 'wallpaper' downloads that I believe go into this area. Check out the forum for PPC Themes, and I believe there is a sticky with SpbMS wallpapers.

If I remember you need to go to settings and change to a non 6.5 theme.

For boost in performance I strongly recommend installing the GFXBoost service. In some ROMS it doesn't work, but it really works nicely in the this 1.6A ROM. You can really see it by opening up Opera and scrolling around. Switch the service off and on while keeping the opera running, you see the smoother scrolling, glass like scrolling with GFXBoost enabled.

I just flashed the 1.6a titanium only edition and it really gave me a ton of problems. I wasn't able to change backgrounds, moving the Titanium slider bar would corrupt everything it touched. I also really dislike S2U2 . I'm gonna try the Manilla 1.6a and see what happens...
