M2D 3d Driver ROMs RAM Usage?

[boba23]

Hey Folks,

first of all, I like those new ROMs with Manila2D very much. Interface looks nice and is really good to use.
The thing that makes me think about going back to non-Manila ROM is the excessive RAM usage ... with Syrius R1 e.g. I got max. 35mb of free RAM directly after Installation. Compared to a udK Diamond R8 which I used for quiet a while ... running SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.2 + Cube and several other installed apps, gave me 45mb+ free RAM.
What's your RAM usage like with Manila2D? I don't know if it's in any way worth sacrificing 10MB+ of RAM just for the nice looks .... though anyway Mobile Shell looks very nice too, and has like thousands of Skins and mods available.

Well thats the trade off you get. Manila 2d isnt THAT RAM intensive. So its up to you wether you use it or not.

I think Manila is GREAT and im more than happy to sacrifice ram. Nothing else compares to Manila.

If you want just a skin and cut down on Ram usage a little bit, try loading on Vito's Winterface or iFonz.

Other than that, just dont use Manila.

No answer to your question, just a other question of me.

Do you need the extra free program memory?
I never have a shortage in memory. I never checked the amout of free memory until I saw your post. I have 23 MB free program memory with a lot of programs active. I noticed there is only a total of 84 MB of program memory. I thought it should be 128 MB? As stated before, I never have any issues with a lack of memory.

Different ROMs have different amounts of free RAM available. There is a certain amount that can be reserved for other things, such as pagepool I believe, that take away from the total program memory available. This even happened in the wm6.1 official ROM, max memory available dropped.

If you want max free memory out of the ROM, like me :) try Bepe 0.67 rom. I disable the Biotouch.exe (a simple trick by renaming activesynkiller.exe to Biotouch.exe) :) And install Manila2D on my own -> use the beta 18 version.

And on fresh restart, I get 69MB free memory. After hours of usage, I still get 60MB free memory. :)

No answer but another question

IGO 6 & 8 not working while Manila is active, must disable the Manila and reset to launch IGO
if I minimize IGO and start Manila and return back to IGO it working with no problem

is it another memory problem or what ???
