Pagepool???

[youngpro83]

Ok can someone please explain to me what the pagepool is for?? I currently have mine set to 12. I was wanting to reflash and do 16. Just from hear say, so can someone explain to me exactly what pagepool is for and what it does?? Higher versus lower pagepools and the pros and cons of doing either? It would be greatly appreciated!!

I'll put a quick bit of info from what I've gleaned so far from this site concerning PagePool on here..
Apparently (correct if wrong) it can make your device run smoother. Most people put it on 32, but no higher than that or it can eff up some programs...for instance Opera has a lot of trouble if you have it on 64 apparently. I don't have a TP2 yet so I have no first-hand experience. All I know haha, sorry.

Here's where I got that from...

I wouldnt use 64 because when I tried I didn't have enough memory to even open opera. My phone runs fast even when 80% of the ram is used. I am on the Verizon phone but I'm sure they aren't that much different.

Also, in order to use pagepool changer you have to extract the .exe file using winrar or 7zip and it's in the folder.

I usually stick with 16 for stability. Higher values are faster, but seem to crash more often. Lower values, don't do it! Of course 16 should work ok on most roms, even stock...

Thanks for your guys input. I guess I will reflash and change the pagepool to 16. I am on a custom ROM and by default it is set at 12. My phone gets choppy at times, but I have had a better experience with a 15, 16 size pagepool. Thanks again.

i could be wrong but i think 6.5 changed the rules when it comes to pagepool.
6.1 made a HUGE difference when changing value but with 6.5 it doesn't seem to do much.

haven't seen much posted about it since 6.5 came out on the tp1.

I use a 16mb pagepool in my ROM. Bigger or smaller really doesn't seem to make a huge difference.12mb pagepool is generally used on Verizon ROMs.

16 looks to be what I'll try when I purchase mine. Thanks for making this thread young, I learned something haha.

I use 8 on my custom 6.5.x ROM - really don't notice a difference with higher numbers.

32? I have never seen that before! 12 and 16 seem to be pretty common, and 20 is considered high.

Recommendation - flash it with several different pagepool sizes and pick the lowest number that seems quick and responsive to you. You're wasting program memory if you set it higher than that (whatever that number ends up being for you).

Yes, I agree - I've tried small, big and dynamic pagepool sizes and really can't tell much (if any) difference.
