Re: (Jan 1st) |MalROM| WM6.5.3/WM6.5 Sense 2.1/Sense 2.5

Mal, a couple of questions on performance and memory with the ROM:

1. TouchFlo seems to have an inherent memory leak. Doesn't matter if it is 2.1 or 2.5, I experience it either way. For this reason, I've move to SPB Mobile Shell, which has no leaks to speak of. This is in no way a fault of your ROM, but rather of Manila itself. I'm assuming my experience is normal, correct?

2. Wanting to have as much RAM as possible (I run quite a bit simultaneously and an Opera session can then kill me), is it possible to change the Pagepool to 0 so that it is dynamically allocated? What are the pros and cons of doing so? Is there anything else that I could do to conserve RAM? Does this make sense?

I tried cooking my own ROM this morning (Calk's kitchen), and got it to work pretty well, but you have the touch! TIA for your help!

Looks great! Will start on incorporating today.

Will see. Looking to possibly keep Manila "normal" so you guys can customize on your own, but I'll take a look.

Hadn't really noticed a RAM leak per se, but I know the TP2 handles RAM a bit differently with all the HTC stuff loaded up. I do build in CleanRAM to help with gaining back mem though. Will keep an eye on it.

As far as dynamic PP, I don't care for the performance--it's worse than 22 or 24MB. I did put in HD Tweak under Settings. There in section 18, you can turn off the "caches". That will gain you back some RAM that way (but slow it down).

That's the choice really: more RAM, less fast; more fast, less RAM. No way around that fact!

Re: (Jan 1st) |MalROM| WM6.5.3/WM6.5 Sense 2.1/Sense 2.5

Let me start by saying I am new to the TP2 forums, just upgraded from TP a week ago. I have always been partial to NRG or MM but I discovered you today and installed your 1.1b rom and I am very very impressed. It's aesthetically pleasing, fast, and stable (so far). This is the reason I started flashing custom roms in the first place. Your work is AWESOME bro. Thank you so much, I am donating to your cause right now. I am anxiously awaiting your update later today and keep up the good work bro!!!

Glad to hear and thank you.

Okay, the Sense 2.5 version is here.

Warning: you WILL get a white screen on the reboot/1st boot with Sense 2.5. It's FINE, ride it out and it will be okay. This has Messaging 2.1 in it to make it more stable, but a side effect is the white screen.

Give the Sense 2.5 ROM a minute or two for the cache to fill up. It will then get fast, but it's sluggish initially.

I also have not extensively tested it, so prepare for bugs. Personally? Wm6.5 (21887) with Sense 2.1 is the fastest/most stable. Not sure how much I want to support 2.5, so expect some bugs.
