Memory Enhancement

Is there something that will provide an enhancement to memory usage on a dinc that requires root. Like preventing apps from automatically running in background. Tired of using a task killer when memory gets down to very low levels.
Maybe a Rom that's efficient at doing this.
Anyone have any ideas?

I think Autokiller is what you're looking for.

I use Autostarts for this.

+1 on autostarts. Instead of killing your apps, autostarts prevents them from starting.

And why do you need to kill these apps? Have they tried to injure you?
Seriously... you probably don't need to kill them unless one of them is acting up. The phone will free up memory as you need it.

Those look good. I'll try them out and see what works better.

I haven't any of this, but maybe it will help you

I know the phone will free up memory as needed but I'm ocd about it and hate that at times it gets down below 40 and bogs the phone down. Tired of seeing apps start up by themselves. I used titanium to freeze apps but now don't remember what's frozen and what's installed on my system. Need something automatic and easier to maintain.

Awesome, I'm glad it may help... I just downloaded minfreemanager myself
Edit: only bad thing is changes are lost at reboot just using minfreemanager

Autokiller does exactly what you are asking for...

Xda Force closes...constantly.

I'm at work so unfortunately I don't have access to the forums and searching for help through the xda is too time consuming and I've already got customers on hold .
Anyway the problem is that xda keeps force closing on me after I post something it's ridiculous. It force closes then asks me to sign in again and when I input my credentials it just sits there"processing" to fix it I have to run my task manager, close the appp then open it again. Fortunately, whatever I post still goes through but its just annoying. Anyway to fix this guys?

Don't use a task manager, this has been reported by many users and I don't believe that there is a workaround this at the moment. If it's stuck on processing, you can just hit the back button and it'll work as intended! No need to close it.

I don't use a task manager and I'm having the same problems. Force close after reply... Like right now ha ha
Edit: actually it didn't do it this time

I never said that the task manager causes the FC but task manager does cause a lot of problems with other applications and overall Android system. It happens to me once in a while but it's not a big deal for me.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html As well as other Android developers don't agree with using task manager. But hey, if you want to use it for whatever reason even though everybody advises you not to.. thats okay too. Don't say we didn't tell you so!

I am starting to think that maybe the task manager is worthless, but it just annoys me knowing that there's a bunch of apps on the background just sucking up all my battery. lol

If you read the article, Android manages apps in the background. Believe it or not but battery life is better without using a task manager lol. Do some research about it, definitely not worth it

Same thing happens to me. When it's stuck "processing" I just hit back.
I would just wait until maybe XDA fixes it or use the tapatalk app.

New Android market

Hello,
For new Android market that is rolling out now, will we will get the new Android market even if our phones have been rooted and have custom ROM on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I couldn't imagine them doing anything specific just to (I'm sure only momentarily) annoy people with rooted phones.
If your market works now I'd say there's a fairly good chance the new one will as well. Although I cannot confirm it.

Yes, the new one works. I use it since.yesterday on my dhd.

Anyone else getting problem with it not showing your installed apps? Only showing 11 apps when I just counted I actually have 55 apps installed. Don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall all them just so they show up.

A restart and a bit patience sorted the problem.
Overall I like it. Would rather there was a my apps button on the front page but in not going to go on a murderous rampage because its missing.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

From what I can see it is a very data hungry application as it can take a while to fire up when network connection is on the slow side.

i still havent got the update on my dhd.
so there are different release dates between different regions right?

Ye, Google did say the update (which will go on your phone auto, so no need to go to settings and update) will be with us all between now and up coming weeks.

i hope the version that goes arround is not the final one cause beside being very laggy it is buggy. it broke a market link of an installed ap while trying to update it.
also even though it showed me one app being able to update it didn't allowed me to. clicking on it brought me to the apps details page and there i could only open or uninstall it.
i could onlly update apps if i had more than one by clicking update all.
p.s. oh and not to forgot: the amount of traffic it causes is extrem! a multiplactive of the old one, as if they would not cache the images of the apps showcase on the front page.

Agreed, same problem here, uninstalled the update. Don't like the new layout, hard to find things.

I have uninstalled the update and gone back to the last version. New one is almost unusable on anything other than a perfect cell connection.

Same here but i guess i'll keep it as it looks great,just a matter of few days to get habitual of it

when i click on download in new market it is starting to download for ages
when i reset phone it download the file immediately

Am I the only one, who thinks the new Metro-look (WP7 like ) is ugly?

I dont see any slowness. The only thing that bothers me is the updates. With the old one you could see the updates right away. With this one not so direct.

New Android market

Has anyone tried the new market to see if it works on the TF??
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/O7AIK6RLAL
http://androidapproved.com/item/android-market-updated-to-v3-4-4-download-here/

It would seem that it does. I just grabbed the update for Google Maps and before the update started, the EULA for the Market popped up. I didn't see any visible changes before I exited though.
EDIT: sorry, looks like the update I got was to 3.3.11

I tried it and it wont install. Im not rooted but I dont think that has anything to do with it.

Like how?
+10

working on my rooted transformer no problems.

Works here too (rooted). In landscape mode it shows bars on each side.
Did you uncheck Unknown sources in Settings Applications?

im guessing its the phone version of the market judging by the black borders as opposed to the tablet version.

You don't need to install it, just move the apk to /system/app (the name should be vending.apk).
Edit: don't forget to set the correct permissions and clear market data in Settings > Applications > All

I got the "new market" a coule weeks ago as an automatic update? and I have to say its SHIIIIT :S
Why did they change the tablet versio? the market it came with was perfect?

I agree, the previous version was much better. Now it's loading for ages and is really more for phones than tablets.

I am now in v3.3.11, and the market is really faster !
I drop down from 10s to 1s to show any page in this new version !
Much better ! It was really annoying !

guys i installed the new market but i dont like it.how i can revert it back to the previous version?i have revolver 3.9.5 rom!!thx.

Auto updated for me today. Seems to be working well so far

Google had quite some issus with the performance on market .. i've experienced many outdated infos on my app-statistics.
At the moment it seems to be fixed .. but they have some translation issues right in the developer-pages .. whatever - nothing neckbreaking ;-)

They even removed the charts for a while because they were showing huge (really huge) drops in most applications (even the most popular ones). Charts are OK now, but installs in developer panel are still much off I think (they show different values than the charts and they doesn't seem to update - or maybe my apps are so unpopular, haha).
All this said I think it's not releated to the slow market application. It should be managed by different servers.

I've been using the 3.3.12 version because I wanted the music stuff that wasn't in .11 and I'm very happy with that version. I know I found it here on XDA by using the search function.

Lost Phone

I lost my phone. I tried installing Plan B but haven't gotten a response just yet. Does anyone know if WaveSecure will install remotely? Also, I noticed a feature in the GPS settings that says locate phone when lost or something to that effect. I have ICS beta 7.0 installed fyi. How would I go about using the service?

I installed avast for android root and that **** i tested it and is the **** using my sisters iphone found it asap with sms i like that one it installs on the system root

I know you can find the device with latitude. I don't know how though. You will have to Google that. That's the reason I have where's my Droid app installed. It already saved me twice. One of the best apps ever.
