Wm 6.1 Memory management....

[Nitefall]

I searched and couldn't find anything but then again I'm horrible at searching unless it has something to do with pictures ;)

Anyway I'm running DCD's 3.0.1 rom and am usually floating right around 10mb of free ram. Every time I try to run more than one program at a time the second program ends up closing the first program.
My question is is there anyway to get rid of this or change it, or is the only thing to do is go back to WM 6.0?

TIA for any help

How much memory do you have free after a soft reset? I typically have 19-20 megs free after a soft reset. I've got quite a few apps installed and a few are probably running in the background. Voice command, SPB Mobile shell, SPB Phone suite and I'm sure a few others are all running in the background. After a day of light use (a few calls, a few texts and about 30 minutes of Opera Mini) I have 15-16 megs free with no apps open.

I typically do a soft reset every few days and that seems to help a lot. It sounds like you may have an app or plugin that has a memory leak if you only have 10 megs free on average, that is pretty low.

Yeha it did seem to be pretty low since I've been using DCD's rom's for a couple months now. I just figured it was because of 6.1 because of it being similar on the last 3 roms I have loaded from DCD.

It's not running exceptionally slow or anything but I can only have one program open at a time which gets old real quick.

Usually after a soft reset I'm sitting at about 13-14 mb free and after running a few programs and using oxios memory I'm sittign around 9-10, which is most likely the reason for only 1 program running at a time.

I am using spb mobile shell and phone suite wisbar advanced 2 and a couple of other programs on startup.

If I did have a memory leak is the only way to find it is by doing a hard reset and reinstalling?

Thanks

I'm not sure what all your are running, but right now after a soft reset I have 24 megs free, I'm running HTC Home with customized graphics... after using my phone at a moderate level I have 20-21 meg free.... Something is not right if you have only 13-14 free ....

EDIT: Do me a favor and list ALL items you clicked on in Buildos please, maybe I or someone else can identify an OEM that has a mem leak, also, take a screen shot of all services running on your phone.... post it too....

I'm working on getting the screenshots will most likely be tomorrow around 4cst when I finally post because of work I need to sleep now lol, 4am comes around real fast.....

One question though when you have that much ram available are you able to run more than one program at a time without it closing another?

After reading what NotLutzik posted I did a soft reset because I couldnt get spb screenshot to stay on while I opened task manager to take a screen shot. After the soft reset I can get it to stay on so maybe oxios is either shutting something down that it shouldnt or it's messing up memory management???

[NotLutzik]

Just the way oxios works with cache!
Iam back to wm6 and no any ram reclaim programs!
Spb backup everynight with soft reset after.
About 17-18mb end of the day ,22mb at first load.
Programs running:
Messaging (i use that lot :) )
Wktask
Phone alarm
sSpb dairy and Spb weather
New menu

Hey bud - I can run IE, HTC Home with custom graphics, Quick Menu, contacts open, comm manager open(skinned with vista) and I get down to around 14-15 megs, if I close them all i go back up to 22....
