Please excuse..I am very impressed by the massive amount of knowledge available here, but I was unfortunately not able to figure out the simple picture ( not your fault----my fault.)
Is there more or less a consensus, on which ROM is the best and why?
criteria could be: max RAM left, stability, speed? are there major differences or are you more talking details and preferences?
I have the MDA Pro (got it for 3 months testing for free from t-mobile). I have to reset not far from 10times a day. I start out with a maximum of 15 Megs of RAM after each reset, and they are reduced to 10, 8, 6 nothing...very soon..after opening and shutting a few apps. e.g. I have 10 available, open PIE, and there you go, only 2 left....how can one live with this? Is my device behaving very differently from what you are used to?
also: would a RAM upgrade not be interesting? do 64 more MB really consume that much more energy? ( I am online with UMTS all the time, which drains the battery anyway, but i would guess in comparison the additional RAM consumes much less than that, no? so if i can run say 3 hours with umts on and 64megs it will run 2h45 with UMTS and 128 MB...what do you think?)
Please be so kind to reply..I tried to investigate the answers myself, but I really was not able to get the picure..I like the device and plan to get one for my vodafone card (is the VPA 4 ROM good?) but it is partially a real nightmare....
cheers,
Andy
