LOL, I feel for ya VZW users, what the hell is that you have to disable all the "good" features to find more RAM. SAD!! Glad I left VZW for Sprint.

VZW - More RAM / disable Dialer Skin

Want 8-12 more MB of free RAM on your horribly gimped 6850????

Just disable the pretty HTC dialer skin. The dialer will switch back to the default WM one, which to be honest, I still prefer. Little did I know the HTC skin was sucking up about 10 MB of RAM.

Give it a shot and share the results. You can use several apps like Advanced Config or Diamond Tweak to disable the HTC dialer skin, or change it manually via the registry.

Below is the manual registry tweak:
-'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Security / Phone / Skin'
-change the value of 'Enabled' from 1 to 0.

Hope that helps make all the 6850 users smile.

Pretty nice find, never used windows mobile before I got my diamond other than playing around with a coworkers phone, the dialer isn't bad but I do like having the speakerphone so easy to access. It's 2 button presses with the windows mobile dialer.

Some of these posts almost make me want to stop reading this forum

The bias here is getting a bit rediculous

I did this in the registry and I'm seeing about that much RAM freed up. Dialer not much worse, if any, so I'll probably leave it in. This is a nice tweak!

Just did a little test to see how much RAM various programs use and 10MB is a pretty big chunk when many programs use only 2-4MB of RAM.

Is this setting really in advanced config though, I don't see it?
