Good luck!
Are there any side effects to be aware of? Also what does it change the pagepool to? Is there a reason why this isnt the default?

If I already flashed... is it too late to do this? Can I reflash??

A lot of these comments don't sound like "bugs" in the ROM.

Re: Offical Bugs List with Sprint Touch Pro 2 - WinMob. 6.5 Update

Not sure if this is a bug or i'm just looking in the wrong spot, but theres no option in the task manager for "tapping X to close a program". Is that feature removed from 6.5 or is it just in a different spot? I'm used to not having programs close since i've been using 6.5.x for a while, but thought maybe the office 6.5 update would have that feature included.

Edit - found it, User error!

It changes the pagepool to whatever number you choose. (I suggest trying 20 or 24 if you think 6.5 is sluggish).

Yes, the one side effect is that every 1MB you increase the pagepool takes away 1MB of Total Program Memory. The 6.5 Stock has 183.18 MB by default. If you increase the pagepool from 15 to 20, say - the new Total Program Memory will be 178.18. So, you're trading RAM for pagepool. Think of pagepool as like windows pagefile (but that's not really a good analogy).

Do a search on "windows mobile pagepool". Also try setting it to 0, which is a "dynamic pagepool", but will be like a manual pool of 30. Too difficult to explain in detail here - google the phrases above.

Good news is that if you don't notice a more responsive 6.5 by changing pagepool from 15 to 20 or 24, then just change it back to 15. It really is as simple as just running the pagepool changer and flashing. You're not going to hurt anything.

Thanks! I did a search for flash light and didn't get anything.

I mean, I guess it isn't a "bug," but the fact that it was there in 6.1 but they took it out for 6.5 is BS.

Good point. I, for one, am just responding to questions. But, you're right.
