RAM usage Too high after CHT - Page 3

DatBoiDame · #21 (**permalink**) 07-28-2010, 08:54 PM

CHT isn't for everyone's taste, personally I love it. Im running NRG's July 24th ROM w/ CHT cooked in and it does go as high as 65% but never goes any higher and my sense stays fluid, stable and fast. When ur running CHT on a TP2 u have to go under Miscellaneous settings and change your animation to Optimized or Simple to keep everything running smooth. Also I keep my emails & text messages under a few hundred just to be safe but I suggest a ROM with CHT cooked in, Im not a fan of installing CHT separate... Just never seems to work as well

EDIT: Maybe changing your PagePool and reflashing the ROM might help with CHT (Just a thought, could be wrong)

I uninstalled it too

Made my phone too slow.

I just want to be able to add call history below the calendar bar on the today screen ...

What do you guys recommend as a pagepool? I haven't messed with it for a while, almost forgot you could.

Back when I had a Touch Pro i used to set SSK roms to 0 pagepool do you think that would help or just make CHT take up as much available RAM as it could?

I'm probably going to try it out anyway but just wondering your thoughts

the rom I'm using uses 24 I think. Runs fine.

How do I check the pagepool. Also if I reflash the rom I will have to do all the settings again. Someone told me that I can save all my settings somewhere and can get it back after reflashing. I already have a pim backup.

+1 I never backup settings because that can carry flaws & bugs with it from a bad ROM, I always redo my settings manually to be safe. I have no idea how to check the pagepool this is something I want to know too.

this is the pagepool changer i use. you have to unzip the exe for the rom you are running into a folder, and in that folder it will have the ruu_signed.nbh file. run this app and browse to the nbh file and it will tell you the pagepool. you can adjust the value and click 'change to' to change the pagepool. i am trying out 0 on MightyRom Full Force which is basically dynamic, it opens up sources as i need it. usually it is 12 and i heard Mighy recommends anywhere between 8 and 12 for sense 2.5 roms

just reporting back after a little less than 24 hours on a rom with CHT and a 0 pagepool it does NOT solve RAM issues as was probably expected, but does make the phone lightning fast. Im sorry to say however, that it has actually gotten up to 90%+ ram at one point...basically it doesnt fully close out of any program. So the programs run smoothly especially if u only use a few regularly, but if you often do different things and switch between different tasks expect a few resets.

I think i will be sticking with it however just for the speed improvement. Another option would be to make a high pagepool like the 24 that chronster recommended, it'll allow usage to go higher but still prevent it from going 'too high' (but then again that depends on what you consider 'too high')

Moral of the story, lower pagepool may slow it down but will limit usage. Higher pagepool will make it faster at the risk of high RAM usage

I have changed the pagepool on my laptop. Now do I have to re flash the Mighty Rom, or just replace the changed .nbh file on my phone.

As far as programs not fully closing, it would help to close them manually by holding the send key (not during a call) that usually allows u to end tasks that may not show up by tapping the task manager in the top right corner... Works for me
