the extra 128 rams in hd2 were disabled not used by radio

if camera has reserved ram then why does it have to shutdown everything else or complains about the memory and won't start :s

64mb - radio (radio chipset has no ram so it uses system mem)
36mb - os crap(pagepool,etc..)
16mb - graphics mem

256-64-36-16=140mb available to wm

64mb for the radio is... kinda too much. Seriously, what does it need that much RAM for?

easiest way to solve it is to go back to 6.1 rom you get aprox 110-120 mb of free ram. theres a few on modaco.

Or personaly i find if i use titanium + disable lock screen(usetouchlockpro), diable default dialer(use PhonEx for dialer/contacts) you get 90 mb after boot. which settles down to aprox 80-85.

This is useing Sonblack rom from PDAViet

it can be found at PDAViet or Modaco!

Not true, my one is 6.1 and yet less than 25m I can use this space even though so call factory default after reset. The bloody main storage has 512m, almost 500m has been used. I have not install any program yet. The 8G is used about 0.6G which wasted so much space. Samsung designers really screwed up!

Looks like even thought upgrade to 6.5 also did not improve much of the main storage space, that really sad..

I was shocked by these amounts of free memory too.
I was found only ONE solution...FLASHING some LITE or ULITE (Ultra LITE) ROM.
I personally flashed rom by Speedfrog: http://windows.modaco.com/topic/3234...-by-speedfrog/

Free main memory about 300MB and free Ram about 110MB...I'm using it for more than one year with great success.
