What is the best software to FREE UP RAM?!?!

[DJSinCity]

I need to know what the best software to FREE UP RAM is.

I have TMO MDA, 2.17 TMO Custom Rom

The device says I have around 55% of Free RAM after soft-reset, but as the day winds down and I use programs, go on the internet, activesync etc. The ram goes away, EVEN AFTER I 'STOP ALL PROGRAMS' the ram is down to around 40% or less

How do I lose 15% RAM from soft-reset till then if I'm running no more programs at that point than I was after the soft-reset?

And more importantly HOW DO I RESTORE THIS RAM without a soft-reset...certainly there has to be a program up there that you can execute that will FREE up that HIDDEN/LOST RAM!!

Muchos gracias in advancias ;)

I have a Magician not a Wizard but I guess it happens to any PDA.

EVEN AFTER I 'STOP ALL PROGRAMS'
By this you mean, using the Task Manager? If yes, I don't have an answer to your question. If no, when programs are closed they are not fully terminated but somehow are in the background.

In any case, try software like SPB Pocket Plus or some 3rd party task managers.

SK tools available from http://s-k-tools.com/ includes a stand-alone utility for freeing RAM. SK tools is not free but there is a trial available.

Yes I am using a task manager - Spb Pocket Plus - to completely close these the programs but the RAM is still gone.

I have no clue what to do...anyone?

I had a similar problem where the memory was down to a very low level.

I ran Memmaid and it cured the problem.

when we are on the net the clutter gets collected in temp memory and cache folders. even using other programs. closing a program is not enough, these have to cleared. inherent soft reset does the job but, is cumbersome , so Sk Tools , Memmaid will do it for you or stand alone software like free up ram, clean ramare examples. hope that answers.

Use ClearTemp (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-cleartemp-v0-9-9.html) to remove temporary files, cache files, and other clutter that fills up your storage memory. Use QuickMenu (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-quickmenu-v2-7.html)'s Hibernate function to clear memory leaks, and use QuickMenu's settings to have programs close on a short tap, and minimize on a long tap. If you just want a stand-alone hibernate program, use Oxios Hibernate (http://www.oxios.com/memory/) (packaged with Closeapps, which closes all running applications).

Some programs (nk.exe, gwes.exe) are system-required, and will experience RAM leaks, especially in home-cooked ROMs. There's little beyond what I've already said that will fix that, other than what you've already discovered: rebooting. It's kind of like expecting your home computer to stay booted indefinitely. If you try it, eventually something is going to happen that will force you to reboot.
