So with the K’s Rom 1.31, with some software removed (HTC Home) here’s how much ram is available after a soft reset:
Storage: Total 66.80MB, in Use: 6.68MB, Free: 60.12MB
Program: Total 48.77, In Use: 23.48MB, Free 25.29MB
After recovering all the PIM data:
Same.
After installing PointUI 1.02,
Storage: Total 66.80MB, in Use: 10.29MB, Free: 56.51MB
Program: Total 48.77, In Use: 29.50MB, Free 19.27MB
