Verizon Touch Pro Memory fix?
 
Hey, I have the verizon touch pro and i know they reduced the RAM on it. Is there any hack, or ROM that fixes this?

The best hack I can think of is to take your verizon pro and remove the insides. Then get a sprint touch pro, remove the insides of that phone and then place in into the verizon casing. It may take a few days with help but you should be good to go.

Just kidding around, anyway its unfortunate that the verizon gimped their version of the pro so badly but in any case there are many custom roms that can speed things up for you a little or you can get a sprint touch pro and flash to verizons network.

i wouldnt recommend trying to get a sprint tp and activating it on vzw, i dont think theyre allowing it anymore.

anyways, check out bored's or the ssk roms/kitchens. they were designed with the verizon tp in mind and they do wonders for these phones

K thanks. themuffinman>> sorry, i wish i could but im stuck with verizon till march 2010. I just wish there was a way to fix it!! I have been trying all the roms on here, and they're awesome. SSK 6.1 roms, no TF3D in landscape, but 6.5 works, but 6.5 portrait>landscape vice versa is slow. 3 second delay. Im flashing it to MightyROM right now with a PP of 20. so i'll see. Does boreds have TF3D? i thought when i looked it was stripped to the bare.

i have a touch pro from vzw as well and i can tell you that the idea of running mighty on my phone with a 20 meg page pool is kinda scary.

when i first got this phone i flashed to scotts rom since i was used to his stuff on my vzw 6800. i liked it but i wanted to try a few others and all of them left me with little ram and i would run into out of memory errors often. scotts was the only one that i have not had this issue with.

all the other roms (with the exception of boreds stripped rom) tend to eat up ram because they are built with the sprint,altell or other touch pro that has all the ram intact.

if you are going to try mighty i would suggest a page pool of 12 max and see how it performs for you but i would strongly suggest scotts setup.

i built my rom using scotts 1.6 rev a kitchen and the 21500 (fake 6.5) sys files with a 6 page pool and i am really happy with it. i did not cook in any of the manila version beacuse i think the 6.5 today is pretty nice even if it is plain.

try it out and let me know how you feel but again scott is the only dev that is building with the vzw limitations in mind.

Yeah, I know. But it still has 512k of memory or whatever, just the RAM part is partitioned out.

it has 512kb flash memory but that is completly seperate from the 192 ram
there is only 192 ram on the phone they didnt just partition it cause that cant be done and there isnt any more hidden
sorry but verizon messed up on the ram, but other wise this is the best phone ive ever had

if you are flashing the mighty rom i def. wouldnt recommend setting your page pool as 20! set it as 10 or 12.

bored's newest rom has the regular touch flo as well as touch flo 2
