Sorry for the stupid question (since you used 'permanently').

Is there anyway to install a camera using NeuROM3 pre1? I tried to use the cabs found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...32#post2635832, and either one caused the device to freeze completely when attempting to activate the camera.

The camera app displays, but freezes the device, requiring a soft reset.

Hmmm... Is that what <b>premanent</b> means.

I think No2chem is working on a solution. Remember... this is a prerelease for diehards only. I must add that it works wonderfully with a 12 Meg pagepool with the superb Manilla2D. I have almost not thought about a Diamond in a few hours.

What benefit does the larger page pool give you? That would leave you with LESS free RAM. Do applications just not use as much RAM if there is a larger pagepool? With the default 6MB in pre1, I have around 31MB free on boot. This is JUST enough to run iGo 8 and make a phone call at the same time (leaves about 3MB free) Same for Opera Mobile (well, not quite), I can actually USE Opera Mobile without it closing on me (save for a handful of sites that apparently just eat to much RAM).

I am definitely not an expert by ANY definition of the term. However, I have been curious about the page pool issue. So, I'm trying to enter into this conversation to bounce some things around for discussion.

From what I've been reading here, the carriers' set the pp larger on their OEM ROMs to allow the user to experience good response.

With NueROM3's extra memory, I took advantage by increasing the page pool size to run the same programs that I used to run on other ROMS, with much better device response and smoothness.

So. It depends on how you want to expend the extra memory that No2Chem has alowed us with NueROM3.

Yes. It depends what you need. Do you need better performance or more memory to run more apps? I am happy to run MS Live GPS, Messaging, Opera and MSVC. When I want to do something else, then I close Opera.

I don't believe applications use less RAM, just because we set the page pool size to another value.

It just depends on how you want to spend those RAMs No2Chem is giving us.
