Rooting, Zeam and Memory Consumption

Heyyas,

i've just rooted my T1 - its really nice what you can do with this nifty little device and the help of the wiki-page you've put together.

I've then enabled ADB and tried to test around a little. I've "disabled" a few applications (such as the ever-running bluetooth, calendar-data-source, contacts-data-source, iris 3d gallery,... packages... - simply by copying the apks and odexs to some backup dir) and checked memory consumption. I see around 96-102 mb of free memory when i just booted the device and went to the sony home-launcher (not zeam). When opening a simple picture-less epub book i see around 25-70mb consumed by the reader process. On the other hand, some strange processes i'm not sure i need (android.process.phone (is that the GSM-stuff listener?), as well as com.sony.drbd.ebook.testmode and the demoservice) are running and taking up ~12-20mb RSS and ~20-25mb VSIZE each. Phone seems to be "auto restarting" (something somewhere in the system shows crash-dialogs and auto-restarts it, if you move the apk/odex away it'll dialog-loop...), the others behave strangely, are probably restarted by the GUI - i haven't had the balls to remove/move away them yet .

Anyways, bottomline is: Reading feels a little more laggy now the device is r00ted. A) CAN that be at all?, and B) is it the same for you? The question about "what can be done, now we can tinker with the system all we like" now arises.

Any comments, tips or "... the fuck, u mad?! CANT BE!" welcome .

Regards
- NebuK
