wow, beginning to think this ROM is a deadend.
this thing is bleeding memory like crazy.
does the "x" not close out programs??? because after I exit out, I have to go into task manager and physically close some programs.
I will investigate further.

man, I love 6.5.3 but if i can't get this ROM working a little smoother, might have to go back to stock or try a diff. ROM. having to soft reset several times a day, is not my idea of fun.

You must have not done a clean flash, read up on how to flash roms and to make sure you clear storge etc. I used to have problems with roms because of that, most complaints about bugs are user error, most roms are betea tested and I my self been using this rom from day 1 and this is by bar the fastest most stable most memory and can run the longest without a soft reset , I can run 10 apps and it still runs smooth, close them out. I soft reset about once every 3-4 days for gp or if I am going to play starcraft. You might want to take a look at the programs you install to. Hope this helps.

i installed from fresh start, flashed back to stock, ran clean memory on top of that.
start out with 80-90mb on soft reset. it quickly drops to 40-60mb free within a couple hours of use. i am considering reflashing, but i need to figure out xda-uc first.

any of y'all smart ROM users know what program Mal has loaded that is linked to the long top power button push?

On his 6.5.3 Titanium only ROM, it is tied to the ActionScreen.

trying caulkulin's kitchen 6.5.x titanium only with mobile shell for now (at least till mal is back). getting 110mb free ram on start up and 100-105mb after a night of use. have not had clean ram or oxios once.
of course this is the honeymoon period so we'll see how it goes.

On 6.5.3 ROM's the x will not close out the apps, you need to manually do it with memmaid or some other task manager/resource. I'm not currently running Mals ROM but when I was, his 6.5.3 2.1 was incredibly solid with no memory leaks, great batt life, etc. You just need a decent task manager to be able to close out apps when they're no longer needed.

that must of been it. problem was that his task manager shows all things running (including system processes). I tried arkswitch, but still seemed to have memory tied up.
I have x-task and arkswitch on my caulkulin kitchen ROM now. i'll try that out for a bit.

What program can I use to turn off the screen when I'm using the Music tab? The power button doesn't work.

I used an option in WkTask before I switched to 6.5.3.

I know I can use a different media player, but I prefer HTC's music tab (other than the inability to search).
