(Sprint devices should be at 16 right)

The pagepool is set at 24 you can extract the .nbh by opening the .exe with winrar then change with a pagepool changer.

I believe the pp at 24 is a bit much and can cause faster battery drain so I lowered it to 20 and sometimes to 16 and battery life has been great. Titanium doesn't use much ram as TF3D so 16 or 20 is perfect...if I was using TF3D then maybe I'd consider changing the page pool to 24...but I've used 20 on a TF3D rom and it's still fast and responsive...

Thanks Worldwide. Let me ask one more question if I may. What really is the benefit for lowering or raising the pagepool? How does it affect performance? I believe that most folks with VZW phones raise it and Sprint and other carriers use a lower pagepool. Why is this? If this ROM is operating smoothly now, what benefit will I see by lowering the pagepool?

Thanks in advance for any insight you may give.

It's really the opposite - VZW users lower the pagepool while Sprint users typically up the pagepool. The Sprint Touch Pro has more on board memory than the VZW version, so it's users typically have more memory to spare. I've not really ever read anything that specifically states what the pagepool numbers mean and what exactly it affects by changing it. One ting I have read is that without TF3D the pp can actually be set to 16 when running Windows Mobile 6.5. I'll pull this build down and leave it at 24 though.

Sorry for the non-answer.

This has to be by far the best 6.5 Ive tried. So far absolutely no problems in what programs ive run. I will post back if anything changes..... Thanks Inda!

Finally a 6.5 I can keep!!! (finger crossed)

I used to run static page pools and now I just set it to 0 and let winmo manage it. Seems to be no difference. Running the latest build of 6.5 and it is blistering fast, no loading orb, no out of memory errors. Battery life is best yet. On my stock alltel i got 1-4 hrs battery if I was lucky. Now with wifi on full time even in standby I get 6-8 hrs. out and about with data on and decent signal I get 12 hrs plus. I was a huge complainer about poor battery life and am still on the same two batteries that I have had since the phone was released. For the first time ever I feel like this phone can actually compete against the iphone.
