Does anyone else's memory seem to disappear after the phone has been on for awhile?? If so is there any fixes??

Start\My Tools\Free Memory or you can use CeleTask or SKTools, you will not regane all the RAM so a soft re-set once in a while will gain it back.
M$ phones tend to have leaks no matter what ROM you use.

Stylez is right, I use rick's v24 and I use the celetask to free up memory after closing apps with task mamager just to keep the mem. fresh, but also after a while you start getting less and less free memory back so a soft reset gets you back to the most memory like stylez said.

Try decreasing your page pool with the method described by stylez in their ROM thread... Currently the low amount of RAM is the only thing that sucks about the excalibur as a phone :( I'm glad I got the Touch Pro where that's no longer an issue at all.

i had the same problem with the rose rom. Even closing all tasks and freeing memory didn't help after a few hours....it was either reboot or I couldn't open programs. I eventually went back to the other rom I had..... I like the Rose rom though....very clean...very simple. Just couldn't do with the memory problem.

Well the problem with the high memory utilization of the Rose ROMs, guys, is that all the applications in the Rose ROMs were intended for the S740 "Rose" device which has 256Megs of RAM. Our Excaliburs only have 64... While on a S740 this wouldnt be a problem at all, it is for the Excaliburs. My advice is to kill all the apps you dont need running the background, including all extra processes, like the htc weather service... etc

NRG, is the htc weather application removed from the superlite rom of yours? that ROM looks good, might have better battery life than regular rose roms. thanks.

It's not removed, but it can be easily disabled with a registry edit :)

Or you can always reboot your phone if you tend to have a decline in memory... this is what I always do and it has worked out for me just fine... :)
