Wow! Is there a name for what I was thinking of (besides wishful thinking)

I think this is the simplest explanation that I can find...

I don't think that explanation is right, is it?

My understanding was that pagepool comes out of RAM memory, not storage memory...

Oh ok, so I wasn't wrong!

So pretty much the only way of doing this is BEFORE you install a ROM or kitchen on your device, right?

Not to be completely noobish, but is there a similar possibility on the mogul?

And will your phone become unstable if you have a 32MB pagepool? Because I have about 50MB of internal storage available, and RAM is MUCH MORE VALUABLE than the internal mem.

TIA

You are correct, it does come out of the RAM. It is a cache that is in the RAM, not the storage memory. That's why everything that mentions a pagepool edit warns that available RAM will decrease by increasing the pagepool size.

wouldnt hurt to try though! im going to sometime soon, dont know when though as im about to try jd's custom touch rom for a while

Can you explain how to make a larger than 12 mb page file?
All these apps only come with up to 12, and i cant find instructions on how to write a larger one...

I did the 12, it seems to have helped... i wanna try 24 just for fun ... if someone wouldn't mind telling me how to write a new .nb file, or point me to who i should talk to...

I've read that 12 is the default pagepool for Sprint's ROM. I am currently running a 16MB pagepool. It seems to help things out.

If you are used/comfortable to flashing ROMs to your device, you can used the attached file. Before you run the RUU... run the file, select the nbh you are going to flash, choose the pagepool size you want, change to + close, and flash. That is what I am using, I don't like the AS method of pagepool changing. I couldn't get it to work well when I had my Titan.

sorry to confuse, but no, it doesnt add to storage. just takes it from program memory RAM and adds it to the pp. storage is not affected...i think.

and divxrippimp, as for how to get it above 12mb, you have to alter a roms pp, then flash the new rom to your device. that can be a pain, but comes with benefits too.

the above is the tool im using. your best bet may be to just download blee's kitchen, and take a look at his readme. then you can make your rom a little more customized, plus change the pp.

good luck.
