Ram cleaner? - Desire Themes and Apps

Hi I currently use leedroid rom and its great, but I notice that my ram memory gradually goes down either with using advanced task killer or without it.
This is a problem as it gets so low that the sense ui keeps having to restart and the phone becomes really slow and un responsive and I have to reboot everyday to fix it.
Is there any ram cleaner or task killer I should use to maybe fix this problem so I don't have to keep rebooting my phone?
Thanks

You are using ATK or just letting it sit? Without changing settings it won't auto kill anything.

No I used advanced task killer to auto kill when screen off but the ram still decreases over time

to be honest, i had this problem with leedroid rom as well, i moved to aurexsense and its so much faster and smoother i never had the slow down issues i had with leedroid. also battery life is much much better.
however you shouldnt be using ATK, as with android 2.2 it dosnt work and will only make your phone slower and battery life worse.

wildfire lag????

Hello all
I have got a htc wildfire, but my phone has many lags when i go to all programs and scroll its lag and also i friendstream and widget, is my phone the only one that do that ?????
The phone is very nice but i hope someone can help me to get rid of the lag
Hello Knudsen,
The first i used it i had the same problem, but after 3 days the lags were almost gone. Before i had a touch hd and i've had more lags. I'm surprised how fast and stable the wildfire & android is.
I don't know why, at the moment i've around 12 apps installed.
There's just one thing which annoyes me, i miss the directional buttons from my hd keyboard.

Why's task killers bad? Shall you just leave the apps open?
Thanks

Hello Fprick
Because of the ram-managment. If you kill unused task, they will need more time to start again (mail, musikplayer, internet, etc.). The worst case could be a systemcrash. If you google around, you'll find very detailed explanations. I used it also, but it made my wildfire slower.

I use ATK and have no problems at all NONE, just don't end everything just make sure your only ending games and other apps you don't want open all the time I use it mostly for gmail as when using Market it reseeds all the gmail crap and sync when I have sync its self disabled it does this on any app that needs a gmail login I guess its just one of them functions they felt would make the lifes easyer and it does but after that I want it gone when I am done with my task, I leave things like Clock and Messages always running tho as the Message app does tack a wee longer to run if it was ended lol.

It sounds like the phone its self is faulty or the rom needs to be reinstalled, I have been using my Wildfire for sometime not and it works great no lag at all, the phone as problem with some games and thats cos its not got a dedicated greathic part from that its great phone day to day tasks are better then the desire as the sences app as been optermized where the desire version as not been.
I never seen any lag in this phone, when you donload a app just make sure it does not say its a hog but I am a app junky and download all the time still no problems.
i have a wildfire and the lag is horrible. htc sense kept crashing so i started using ADW, it doesn't crash as much but it's still really laggy at times, any way to fix it?
ps, i've been using task killer but after seeing these comments i've stopped...

you can use launcher pro or golauncher.
both verry stable and fast.
launcher pro is just a bit faster and no lags.
Do NOT use task killers! My wildfire was laggy and unstable, until I stopped using TaskPanel.

[Q]Task killers?

Coming from the cliq rooted with a 2.1 rom, atk was a necessity IMO.But ive hard that task killers are not needed with froyo and that it hurts more than it helps. But ive noticed that even with atk on froyo, apps aren't being killed unless I go to settings/applications/manage apps to force close myself. Ive tried just not force closing or killing apps and ive noticed it being a memory hog and decrease in performance and battery, but thats just my own personal testing.
What's your opinion on task killers and such? do I need it or am I better of without one?

I am using "advanced app killer'. A number of stock apps will restart right after, but most others will not.
I use it right after starting up, and after closing some apps (they often keep running in background). I think this is helping materially with my battery life - which is fairly good.

is a horrible thing. the second u close an app and it instantly reopens itself your cpu shoots up 100% and you end up killing more battery by doing that.
Haven't seen the need for a task killer. I run System Panel app and what I'm seeing is the majority of the apps listed are on background and not taking up CPU power at all.
If anything, once I root, I'll probably use Autostarts just to minimize the number of apps that run at startup. But right now... not even necessary.

[Q] Does Legend automatically close programs?

Hey guys. Does the HTC Legend automatically close programs after pressing the home button or the "backarrow"? My Legend seems to get slower when i've had a lot of programs open?
I've heard about some Androids which doesn't do it.
Android does it. So all Android devices will kill tasks eventually. Pressing the back button until you're back at the homescreen will ensure that the app is closed properly. If you press the home button it will "minimize" the app, and it will run in the background. If you have apps in the background then Android will eventually kill them when it needs the memory. Don't use a task killer.

Why not? I use it on occasion, I's good to have a controll over your phone, plus I'm not sure how android handles turning those apps off when screen is turned off...So by killing before turning screen-off should preserve battery...no?

Well, its a much-debated issue. But in my personal experience, if I dont use task-killers, my legend becomes too sluggish. I would recommend all Legend users to use one.
In my personal opinion, Relying on Andoid's own task management might be ok for high end devices with more RAM. but not for devices with low memory like legend.
Same here but after 2-3 days even task killers don't work, only rebooting works

I haven't used a task killer on my Legend in 5 months, and it never gets sluggish. Regardless of whether ir not I use CM.

It's really an interesting read, and although I have Taskiller installed, I rarely use it. But a thing I've observed is that when I run Quadrant benchmark and kill before, I usually get lower score... it is some time ago I learned this... Apparently there is something to it

I don't use a task killer either and have only noticed my phone get sluggish once after the 2.2 upgrade. In that case it was some app which was being stupid.
Long press the back button while exiting an app...it kills the app...u will never need a taskiller (might not work on stock rom)

Task killers are okay, just not needed. The real issue is the auto killing and killing system apps.

where you using autokiller? because if you where thats a different type of task management app.
auto killer is used to tune androids natural task killing abilities. also galaxy tuner also has these features built into the app.
Here is some informed info on using these types of memory managers.

Oh well check out that info I posted. Besides having auto kill on lowers your battery life because its constantly killing stuff. Your phone uses the same amount of power regarless if you have things in memory or not.
WOW , i didnt say battery preformance decrease because of task you kill BUT! it increases loading times ! which also decrease your battery !
No one said you said anything bro. I was just sharing information I know to be true as confirmed by developers that I follow. My info was not directed at anyone or anything.
i know bro , if i sound mean i didnt mean too , and i was JUST SAYING TOO .

Ei22 update hogging available RAM, help plz

Ever since I updated to ei22 my available RAM is virtually gone and its killing my battery. My battery usage meter says 78% of the drainage is due to the android system. I have tried doing a hard reset, using a third party app killer, using a different launcher, nothing helps.
::Edit::
I recently switched to launcher pro and it has helped battery life signifantly but system ram is still being hogged.

Get Memory Booster Lite from the Market. It has a great task killer and you can see what apps keep loading so you can freeze or uninstall them. The stock task killer is worthless.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Full memory doesn't kill battery, but flushing it and refilling it does. If you keep trying to free memory the system will just keep trying to fill it up again. It's how gingerbread works, keeping the most recently run apps in ram so it doesn't waste battery reloading them again. It should clear memory when you need it for something else. As far as the battery meter is concerned, they reworked the code in Gingerbread, so you can't compare usage to Froyo. It's possible your battery usage is coming from some app or widget you installed that's syncing all the time. The app killer is probably wasting more battery than it's saving.
I'm on ei22, with some bloat removed and fuju tweaks I can free up 210mb of ram

If you want to keep more ram free, use the V6 script. The V6 script will lower the ceiling of ram allowed for tasks rather than flushing it constantly and allowing it to refill- like a task killer does. Using a task killer will only kill your battery faster.
Also, this has been said in other words already , keeping tasks in ram does not kill your battery. Once a task is loaded into ram it takes no additional juice to hold it there.
+1 on the v6script I can get my ram down to 125mb. In the task manager & 80mb in the running services.
