well alot of the new windows mobile 6.1 roms take another 15% of the program memory for overhead and system performance so typically you only have 85. Some chef's have been able to by tweaking increase that number but most are around 87-89. the only rom that i have seen that is wm6.1 base and gives you 100 program memory is hyperdragon 3 (there might be others..). Haven't tried it so don't know much on how it is. As far as storage memory goes really that is increased/decreased by number of programs you have installed. Just like your pc more program installs less storage memory ... plus more files (whether be music, video, ringtones, themes, etc) less storage memory. The best solution for extra storage memory is to get a storage card.

You can experiment flashing different roms and see which one gives you best system memory and start off storage memory. pretty much all the chefs do a great job of keeping their roms clean and compact so very little storage memory is used.

I would recommend reading around and following various rom threads that we have here to gain better understanding of each individual rom so you can flash the one that suits your taste.

So that means if i downgrade to WM6 i will get over 100mb, thats why i had 101mb+ with the original att rom.
Thanks for your info.

Generally speaking, you would have to get a phone with more memory in order to increase the amount of memory.

Dude, unless you are running out of memory, i.e. device programs are initiating "Low Memory Warning", don't worry about it. After all of my proggies, many, many, I have about 89mb Storage & 39mb Program. Never have run out & I am a very heavy user with many resource heavy apps..

The OS automatically adjusts between what is available overall , including what is in both Program & storage memory as more memory is required in one or the other. So when you install more it adjust both storage & program memory accordingly. This is not like older devices where you have a storage area & a program area that are seperate. The memory for both is the same.

The amount you have is not bad at all.

There are also several things that affect memory. Installed programs, What was cooked into the rom, the Page Pool, etc.

At any rate, this thread has very little, if anything to do with ROM development, so I'm moving it to General Section.

I agree with GSLEON. I too have tons of apps installed to the device and its never really sluggish.

Also I hear Ginko Baloba is Good for memory. ;)

It's true - e.g. HyperDragon III Lite has 101 MB of Program memory available. See my screenshots. Attached.

udK 8.0 V2 Vega 6.1 Rom also have 101.32 MB Program memory available.

If I recall correctly the max amount of memory is also related to the page pool (PP) size.

By default the kaiser has 113MB maximum memory, and with the default 12MB PP that leaves 101MB (113-12) for programs.

If you were to increase the PP to say, 32MB, then the memory left for programs would be 81MB (113-32).
