Angry Are There Any Specific Programs/Apps That Mess With HTC Home?

HTC Home (with the HHC Customizer as well) worked PERFECTLY for me for a very long time. However, just about 2 months ago, my phone just kept freezing. The problem stopped when I took HTC Home off the Today Screen. I don't remember even putting any new programs on my phone since I had it just the way I wanted it, but I'm not sure...

So, I'm wondering if there are any programs that cause this problem:

(With HTC Home / HHC Customizer)
-Phone freezes after almost ANY changes to the today screen...
-After a soft-reset, it takes the 'Today Screen' up to 20 minutes to actually load
-After a soft-reset, the phone freezes again just after loading the background (.tsk)

I really LOVE the HTC Home Plugin, and now my phone is boring, bare, and a pain to use while I'm in the car. If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it!

[My List of Programs]

-Total Commander
-WeatherPanel
-Spb Diary
-HTC Audio Manager
-iLauncher
-Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle
-TCPMP
-Microsoft Live Search
-PHM Registry Editor
-DA&TS KeePassPPC
-Vicsoft ClearTemp

There may have been some I forgot about that I was running when this problem first started. However, I'm pretty sure these are all the apps I had on my Mogul the last time I tried a hard reset to get HTC Home Plugin working again...

I have a remedy for the freezing. Download and run a page pool size changer. That should help you retain some memory and eliminate the need for constant rebooting. Also, check out the forums at XDA Developers.

I don't want to point out the obvious, but the Mogul's RAM really limits what you can do with your today screen & launchers.

I can attest from personal experience that I have had nothing but trouble trying to run the HTC Home prog in addition to anything else, let alone Diary, iLauncher, & Weatherpanel. I had performance issues when I ran SPB PP and HTC Home.

It sucks that we are forced to make these decisions (what programs can I afford to run)..I don't think other PPC owners are forced to settle like this. I have so many programs that I would love to run, but its a trade-off, fewer programs, better performance.
