Memory management for custom ROMs

READ THROUGH THE "How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller" THREAD AND UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE VALUES
If anyone is looking into making a snappier more resource managed ROM or would like to mess around with memory management now that we're rooted take a look at this thread:
How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller
Some people seem to be pretty happy with mods in this area so I'm sure it can be tweaked to make our phones better. Has anyone already been working on something like this?
Also here is one of the apps people are using to change the memory thresholds:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

what happens with Quadrant?

I move all the Quadrant's data to dbdata and then re-run the test
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My SGS completed the IO test and the others one with insane speed and scored only 933 ???
In comparison to the droidx's quadrant test in youtube, after this modification, my I9000 outperforms droidx in every single test. But it still gets lower score than droidx (1131)
Can you guys explain me what happens?
Is it because the SGS's frame rate is intentionally limited at 56 fps?

I think quadrant has lost its merit with this one and it also sucks because it doesnt break down the scores to tell you which department of the phone is better. I don't think we should invest our worries with quadrant.

[Q] about VM heap size and swap file

I found this on ram manager pro app..
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Help me. Can anyone explain me about it?
Thanks

I mean what they r,what they do??:thumbup:

vm heap size mean maximum memory which can be used by your single (dalvik only) application. setting too low some app may not working properly, setting too big will limit number of running applications.
swap mean virtual memory, make system memory virtually bigger. but it will mess android build in memory manager, slow down phone, drain battery, and make sdcard lifetime shorter.

Thanks bro

Just wanted to share Antutu Score for my Shield

i'm just astounded on how this device performs..
running JB 4.3 ..ran antutu after a factory reset..

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
haven't tried the other benchmark apps yet..
definitely awesome..
how does your shield perform on benchmarking apps?

My NV Shield got almost the same score but I didn't do a factory restore because I already installed a lot of apps and games (My 64GB SDXC card is almost full )
EDIT:
I can't post pics yet so I'll just put the links here (I got 39204 btw)

nice! to think that your shield is already equipped with alot of apps
which means that this device is very promising..
although I have to let go of this one though since I'm into "buyandsell"..

Yeah I really like this device so much potential
It's a shame you have to let yours go but business is business I guess.

Best way to clear space on phone?

What's the best way to clear up some space? I'm running low on my internal media. Just got a new sd card, is there a way too move apps there or anything

That's real odd that your external sd is completely empty... But you should set your camera to add pictures to external then move your existing pics to there. Then there's the obvious"remove all the bloat". Check the thread on that...

Yeah I removed all the bloat. I'll move all my pics but that shouldn't be close to 500 mbs

Run a clean master scan as well. Clear some cache
