low mem on initial splash screen?

[avatar28]

I'm not sure if it is something I am doing wrong or what. Every ROM that I have tried to cook with the kitchen, even ones pretty much stripped down, has given me a low mem message on the initial splash screen where it shows your ROM info.

Also, I have yet to create a ROM with more than about 8 MB free at boot on Windows 6.1. Pagepool is set to 4 MB. I have tried leaving most applications out of it but it doesn't seem to make a difference. My most recent attempt was with a cleanish 6.5 ROM and I think I have about 4-5 MB free. It probably doesn't help that ActiveSync uses about a meg and Outlook another full MB.

I noticed too that storage is showing something like 112 MB of free storage. Anyone have any suggestions on resolving this? Is there a way to get more memory free?
