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

i actually tried this today
i'm at 75% at 8 hours and 30 min

Nice but can u ask you are you using it. Like playing games, YouTube, or anything like this or are you just letting it sit there?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App

games eat battery pretty fast
even with a custom rom that has great battery efficiency i dont think that u can beat that.. if ur gaming for a few hours and youtubeing, calling, etc then the best youu can do is make sure that ur screens brightness isnt too high, and every time u exit an app/game make sure that the program stops ( u could use a task killer but i jus pop a shortcut to manage applicattions on my homescreen and force stop it myself)
with reaallyyy heavy use if u make it to the end of the day ur lucky.. just charge it every night

Lol yeah. I play a lot of 3d games and YouTube whenever I can and I'm always texting so Lol. I guess that's good

ya i was using it a bit today
some google maps when i was out earlier, light surfing, lots of sms, twitter, downloaded a couple apps

O ok. Cuz I'm a heavy user but I suppose if it lasts that long while playing games like gangstar,al avatar, and modern combat it's not so bad lol. But I will definitely give your suggestion a go. I mean what can go wrong

App partition and it is a waste!

Okay so it seems like a wwaste to me since you guys know I probably have the most apps counting at 477 user apps and it seems like a waste that nobody has this many and uses the 2gb I have 500mb left and I could sure use those.
How many apps do you have and space left?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

I have about 60 apps that I restore on a new build... anything above that, I consider wasted finger flicks/time.

I dont dont have that many, but I use about 500mb, so I have alot of app space left, and the number of apps I use gets lower and lower each flash lol

Have between 50 and 60. Don't need anymore than that.

I have 102. Restoring is so fun... :/

No issue at all if you have the paid version of Titanium Backup... best purchase everzzzzz

I have 76 apps (less if I uninstall the ones I don't use), with 1.6GB free. Waste of space indeed.

Just have bank of America and MLB 2011. That's it. Oh, root explorer and xda premium. The rest are system apps that are part of malice. 51 total between market apps and system apps.

RAM on the Nexus S

Hey guys I was checking my phone under the running services because my phone was slowing down. And then I noticed that my total RAM only adds up to about 280mb.. is this normal?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Yes the other 220 is for the os
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

It's for the GPU and the OS

Actually, most of it is for the baseband processor and a little fraction for the kernel.

grab autokiller from the market and set it to optimum. keeps everything real smooth

Don't touch app killer/task manager. Android 2.2.x/2.3.x is perfectly capable of keeping track of the RAM.

I second that, do not use Task Killers. Google themselves and many other well known Android sites say to not use them if your on Froyo or higher.

I fourth that. It makes your battery life drain faster.
Anyone wanna plead the fifth?

Do I count to quote myself as 5th?

I wasn't saying he should use a task killer.
Autokiller is a memory minfree manager app with a unfortunate name. Look it up free in the market.

i use auto memory manager, it keeps the ram level just where i like it.

Oh okay that all makes sense. And sure I'll give that a try. Thanks guys!

reading about the appkiller which kills more battery life... is that the case with the built in app killer in cm7/deck 's rom?

hi
in my nexus it is showing 345 mb. i am getting around 160 mb free

count me as -1 because i do feel the need to force close some apps in order to regain smoothness and speed.
Android memory management might be good but it's not always enough as it feels ok if you only have 40mb or less free ram but the launcher will probably become sluggish and lagging.

Facebook slow on nexus 7

Hey guys!
I picked up a 2012 nexus 7 for pretty cheap and I really love this tab. Does everything I would want it to do. However, one thing that's kind of annoying is the Facebook app is super slow... The app itself is responsive but the data loads as if I have a dial up connection. I ran a speed test from it and get 12+ meg...I also have an iPhone and iPad both connected to the same wireless ap and don't have any issues... All other apps seem to be fine as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!!

That's because the official Facebook app is utter sh*t, it takes a load of time on my tablet as well

WOW . I am impressed Due to the fact i thought face crap was Totally useless. Facebook app messenger or webpage is NOT allowed on my laptop my phone my nexus 7 or my Note 10. I might even go as far as putting a NO Facebook sign at the end of my driveway. Requiring anyone who comes to visit me To uninstall it .
Yea I really feel this way about face &($%

Explain it the..because i want to know :v as i understand it will limit the background apps to 5 wich means more ram..but apps will load slower

Hidden apps is limited to 5 from default 10 or 15 = less services for device to handle.. and use_16bpp_alpha=1 forces your device to use 16 bits instead of 32 bits. Try it. Don't like it? Just delete it. Simple.
