Yep, that's pretty normal. Does not sound like you have installed very much to Main memory only the ROM installed stuff.
Device should be working fine with that amount of free space.

By itself unlocking the Ext ROM will be of little benefit unless you just want to have a look to see what's there.
Whether you can get any advantage from unlocking depends I think on what your level of knowledge is about ROM and the various tweaks that can be done. I would suggest, in order to answer this question for yourself, that you have a good read of the Wiki and decide if some of the things there, are things you could try based on your level of knowledge.

Hey. I'm having problems with the amount of available memory on my Wing. After a soft reset, I only have 27% of my memory left.. it makes it exteremely hard to multitask even a couple programs; my old mda would start off with around 52% of is memory free after a soft reset. I'm using the ROM that came with the phone; my phone was an insurance replacement and arrive a few days ago, so I think that I probably have the latest official ROM. Are there any custom ROMs out yet, for the wing, that help the memory situation, like a more stripped down version.. or any reg tweaks?
Thanks,

ALL the custom roms for wizard are coked with 4MB pagepool. The original ROM has 12 MB - that´s the roblem. You won´t get more memory on wing/herald without custom ROMs.
20MB after hardreset is the most wecan get at the moment.
Sorry.
just wondering..
hey there! i just recently joined this forum and been readin some threads here. and so far i see people saying they have like 12mb memory on their wing... do you guys have any idea how they do that? because i check my wing i only have 2mb... so im wondering how can i improve mine.
thanks for help!

If you want a good amount of free memory you will most likely need to flash the ROM on your wing to a custom one found on this website, such as ttran's "Open Touch" (scroll down to the 3rd post to download. Several versions to choose from.) You can use the guide provided by ivanmmj, here, to help you with the process. Here (post #60) is a link to a post regarding the memory/RAM free and used for open touch. There are many other great ROMS out too, i just happen to be using Open Touch 5.0 so its easier for me to explain it. Make sure to read thoroughly to understand all the risks and benefits involved also.
I have 15-22mb free with an oem rom.
Following the directions of previous posters I changed the pagepool size to 6mb. Many posters of a few months ago were talking about how to do this. I believe there's even a cab that will do it for you.
Another way to get more memory is to buy SKTools
HTML:
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_products.html#tools
which has an "optimize" feature that will free up even more memory and tweak a number of go-faster settings.
Yeah, to echo what was said before......the mem wont get better till you get into custom roms.
You do NOT have to use a custom ROM
This might seem to be against the conventional wisdom, but I'd argue that you do NOT have to use a custom ROM to improve the free memory situation on the Wing. I am running the latest official T-Mobile ROM and have about 20 MB free after a soft reset. There are a number of things you can do to increase this number without having to install a custom ROM:
(1) Change the size of the pagepool. I believe the latest T-Mobile ROM has an 8 MB pagepool. I have decreased it to 6, but others use 4 without (as far as I know) too many problems. This gives you 2 or 4 MB extra RAM.
(2) There are many more processes running (and using RAM) on the phone than you see in the standard task manager. That only shows you programs that you have opened yourself. I found that a number of these extra processes are started by shortcuts in the \Windows\StartUp folder, and therefore run when the phone turns on. Some that I removed are btdwake.lnk, My5MsgCenter.lnk, poutlook.lnk, Voice Command.lnk, and WiFiInit.lnk. You can do a search to find out what these are. If you don't use MyFaves, Voice Command, WiFi, etc. you can save a lot of memory by deleting these shortcuts from the StartUp folder. (Note: You have to rename them first, then do a soft reset, and then you will be able to delete them.)
(3) There are processes that are "services" that are always running as well. For this, I'd suggest a program like MemMaid, which shows you the "Startup Services" and allows you to disable them. I personally disabled the SMSCSend (Target: My5Client.dll) and TMW (T-Mobile HotSpot Loging Utility). There may be more. Again, I'd suggest searching for what each one is before disabling it.
Of course some people prefer custom ROMS, and that's fine. Personally, I prefer the standard WM6 Home screen to the various "Touch" interfaces touted by the custom ROMS. Installing a new ROM seemed complicated to me and a little risky for someone who hasn't done it before. Also, I didn't want to have to start from scratch with a new ROM.
Anyway, I'm posting these suggestions as an alternative for those who for whatever reason don't want to install a new ROM. Good luck!
Hi,
When looking @ the task manager on my X1, under 'Storage' there is a total of 280.96Mb + 200.48Mb for 'Program'.
But when looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448911 (Touch-IT Clean&Smooth) the total under 'Storage' is 348.69Mb in total.
Is this a branding issue, or a hardware issue (X1i vs X1a), please could someone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Phil Rich

X1 got 512mb in rom storage. The rom you flash (OS+software) will take the space from there. If you look into my lite rom, I got 380mb free space as well.
Thanks, thought something was wrong there.

You need to enable the swapfile on your SD card. Check the development forum for that.
Hi, I see that my blackstone works on 45 % of RAM.Can I unlock the rest of my RAM memory?
Thank you!

Windows needs RAM to work, you can free up some by closing processes but there is nothing unlockable, you have what you have, aint no more on this device!
Where can I see these processes ? I mean except these which are in "task menager"

They are the processes, if you've not got much RAM left even after a new ROM has been installed then its likely the ROM you have loads a load of junk up. you might need that stuff depending on what you do
try this out though
