Initial memory load failed when trying to display data from MPU6050 on SSD1306

Hello, I encountered an error while trying to extract data (roll position) from gyro-accelerometor MPU6050, and display it on OLED SSD1306 (128 x 64pix). From the serial monitor it reads:

Initializing I2C devices...
Testing device connections...
MPU6050 connection successful

Send any character to begin DMP programming and demo: 
Initializing DMP...
DMP Initialization failed (code 1)

According to a line in setup, DMP initialisation failed code 1 is due to initial memory load failed. My sketch size is 22,572 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum).

My sketch is based on MPU6050_DMP6 obtained from Github. The sketch correctly calculated roll position using MPU6050 data before I added Adafruit libraries and other display purposes codes for SSD1306. The code 1 error only appeared after codes for SSD1306 was added. I have tried in a separate sketch to make sure that the functionalities and codes for SSD1306 are correct.

I hope you can understand the problem and help me to solve it :blush:
