Background apps keep closing - Vibrant General

Ok. Say I'm playing angry birds, I hit home and open the browser, within 15 seconds the angry birds closes so when I go back to it, it has to reopen. Very annoying. My phone seems to want my ram to stay at 80mb free ram. Now I know android automatically closes apps and processes when the ram is needed, but to not be able to have 2 apps open is bugging the **** out if me.. The system should let it get to like 20 mb not closing apps constantly...
Anyone know what's up... Running tw bionix v1. Non tw version....
I dont want my apps to close on 80 mb ram.. I want them to close at like 20mb....

You can use galaxy tuner to set those numbers or auto killer . Auto killer has presets .

Galaxy tuner seemed to do the job. Thanks

Looks like angry birds doesn't override onsaveinstancestate haha

Yes it does save, if you switch away and switch right back it retains state. The OP is complaining that it gets auto closed too easily

Any application does that regardless of if you override onsaveinstancestate. The bundle you are given is for when the OS needs to close the activity to reclaim memory.

I have this problem too. I'll be playing angry birds, receive a text, and in the time it takes me to reply and get back to the game (Something like 10-15 seconds) it closes.
Edit: Tried Galaxy Tuner. I set the BA slider to 10mb, like the FA slider. Works perfectly.

Well, if they don't worry about it, then neither will I. It took me forever to find the best way to save large arrays of different objects into the bundle. Serializable in case anyone is wondering.

Basically its the process of converting objects, with their states and data, into a linear simplified form so as to make it easy to save.
Instead of having separate functions to read the date of each object and save it, a programer can save the entire object as its stored in memory. With some precautions, this greatly simplifies the storage of data.
Its like saying save the object "highscores" instead of "foreach score write this to a file".

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?

+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.

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!

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

Choppy on startup

I was just wondering if anyone else running the frozen syndicate rom had a choppy UI for the first like 10-20 mins after startup.
I close all running applications and clear level 2 ram and even set the setcpu higher than normal and its still choppy. The interface can sometimes take like 2-3 seconds to catch up. :/
Any ideas or similar stories?

Reported Memory and Memory Leak

I am currently running EH06, stock/deodexed and am experiencing seemingly random reboots. I was curious to see if this issue is memory leak related, and from general RAM checking, I believe it may be. Of my available 342 MB of ram, RIGHT NOW my phone reports 241 MB taken up, I have seen that value getting up into the low 300's at it's peak, and unfortunately I haven't seen it immediately preceding a reboot.
I decided to check the memory usage from the command line, and when I run 'free' via the bash shell, of the 350400 KB (342MB) of potential RAM - which matches nicely with what the phone is reporting - I am being told I in fact have 321 MB of RAM taken up. Now I'm no Linux/Android guru, but that doesn't seem right.
So I opened up a bunch of apps, visited a couple of websites, backed out to the home screen and rechecked my numbers. I am now at 302MB/342MB according to the task manager app, but 338MB/342MB according to 'free'. Using the 'Clear Ram' button, I was able to knock it back down, but I have seen it in the past few days not drop the used RAM amount upon pressing that button...
I'm experincing similar problems , it seems every day I need to do a reeboot to keep my ram usage down cause when I first boot , let everything load ... then kill tasks I have around 180 free but after about a day when I kill tasks I have around 80 free and I need to reboot for peace of mind I don't know what it is but I hope I get fixed ....

People have had mixed results with the 3G Turbocharger script and KickAssKernel scripts. The V6 script is the one many are reporting helps with the RAM leak. I used oprion #9 MegaRAM2. This is the lastest script. You need to get Script Manager from Market. Select "run as root" then "run". http://db.tt/oUYakOc

In the world of software, there is NO random, everything has a cause. We call things random when we haven't defined the problem's pattern.
So check it out , I instaled the new eh06 plus kernel without really getting an answer as to what a kernel was and it seems to have helped I haven't been on it for 24 hours yet but I will update and let you know

The paid "Full" version of Memory Booster allows to to set (raise) the minimum RAM threshold supposedly. I just got it and will see if I change it and install and run a bunch of apps if it prevents the reboots. Huh, I got the "Full" version but the minimum RAM threshold is set in the MB RAM Optimizer app. I will change it from 15% to 35% and see if it stops reboots tonight.

I've been getting these "random" reboots with all of the GB leaks. Been looking at my logcat but I can't make heads or tails out of what the messages mean. Currently using catlog for the logcat reader, never seen anything under the lowest level "what a terrible failure" but get tons of stuff under the next level up "error".
currently running eg22.
Would love a thread detailing how to do anything with this that might help figure out what's causing these issues.

Great John, let us know. The free version is great for seeing what is REALLY using your memory. Not the little bit the stock task manager kills. Apps are constantly loading in the background even if you haven't used them in months. If you go to Task Killer in Memory Booster Lite you will see this "ninja" apps stealing your memory. This is what people keep calling memory leaks. They are real apps loading.

ive been running stock odex eh06 since it first leaked on samfirmware and i never had a random reboot
but i am seeing memory problems. such as maps running using a whole 6MB of ram. Think, 10 years ago, that wouldve took a supercomputer. Why are these apps running even when i dont launch them?
such as engadget, maps, telenav, THREE DIALERS TAKING UP 11MB EACH WTF I THOUGHT THERE WAS ONLY ONE DIALER. anyways yeah i usually have ~100mb free but still. when i CLOSE an app, it should CLOSE. I also shouldnt see the app UNLESS I LAUNCH IT.
will v6 stop this? im scared of borking something thats why i ask...i cant afford to use the "trial and error" method like i used to :/
