Not enough memory to launch programs

Here you will see:

RAM size: 192MB (for a VZW phone)
OS Program Memory: (this number is a reserved amount of your 192MB taken up by the OS itself, including the page pool. Most ROMs are gonna be between 77 to 88MB here. You can only reclaim that memory by lowering the page pool or using a slimmer ROM.)
--Program Memory: (this value is the RAM size minus the static OS Program Memory. It indicates exactly how much free RAM you've got on your phone.)
---Used: (if all you've done is boot your phone and let it go idle, this number reflects exactly how much of your RAM is getting eaten up by crap that starts when your phone starts. Some of it is necessary, much of it is not. On DCD's barebones ROM, this value is around 47 MB, on Juicy8 it's about 73 MB.)
---Free: (as a VZW user, you need this value to be as high as possible.)

As a hypothetical scenario, lets say your values are like these:

RAM size: 192 MB
OS Program Memory: 87.75 MB
--Program Memory: 104.25 MB
---Used: 60.34 MB
---Free: 43.91 MB

This means you've only got 43.91 MB of RAM left on your device to mess around, launch programs, and do things before things start getting messy. Take a look on your device and examine these values. What do you show for Used: and Free: after a restart?

ill post this up after I get off work...busy day (aka job security )
