App partition and it is a waste! - Vibrant General

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?

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.

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.

Autokiller does exactly what you are asking for...

Just curious to what the average number of apps a person has installed is.
If I open my app drawer, I have 64 apps.
How many do you have?

I have 9 full pages, so (9*16) it's 144 and I not counting apps of the day from Amazon that I got but never install. Phone does periodically complains about having low memory space... .

123 currently loaded in app drawer = I do not have the Amazon Freebies in there and have not re-installed my 3 Angry Bird versions
Yeah I have 128 in app drawer. Of course some of those are stock apps but I have deleted about 10 stock apps too. I have easily purchased over $100 in apps and there are about 20 that aren't even installed anymore, but just sit in my Market as purchased.
I have 71 total apps
Sent from my Evo Killer using XDA Premium App
I think I'm an appaholic. My market history shows 154 downloads, and the Amazon appstore shows another 95 (most just free apps of the day I tried out). The "ALL" catalog on my ADW shows 16 windows of 4 x 4 apps (for 256 installed apps, many of which are system apps).
In my defense, a lot of these are games (most for my kids, but some that I like). I also try out a lot of apps, and those that can be moved to the SD card I just leave on there. I definitely have a lot that I stumbled upon, thought "oh, this would be great to have," and then have never used.
I have 181 apps on my apps drawer. I have some apps on sd card cause o don't have enough room on my phone for them all

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.

[Tip] freezing bloatware without rooting

Hi
Just wanted to share this with others
(Dont know if it is already mentioned)
I'm using stock poland jb
In settings / applications/all
Choose any app ex. Gmail
Uninstall updates (if asked to)
Disable
Boom. App will disappear from apps drawer

Does it get deleted though? I.e. does it free up memory?

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

Simple proof of concept

disable majority of heavy apps
benchmark again
again this tip will help people who does not want to root

Is this normal RAM usage?

Hello,
I just got my T-Mobile G2 a couple of days ago. I don't have a lot of experience yet but I'm curious if this is the normal RAM usage vs availability. If so do you have any problems running high end games, apps, etc? I am presently on 4.4.2. I have used Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of system apps. This just seems like it could be an issue. I also use Greenify to hibernate some apps as well. Any thoughts on this?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I would love to get an expert answer on this. I recently changed it PAC Man Rom and now it appears I have even less available memory. I'm not noticing any lag or anything but it just bugs me. I added up everything cached and running and it totalled like 364mb not even half a gig of ram. This phone has 2GB of ram. So I dunno just seems weird to me. I guess as long as it's not all laggy then that's what matters.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Yes that's normal use I usually have around 300-400 mb ram and another note that everyone makes unused ram is useless ram

I guess my confusion is what happens if I've got 400 mb of ram and I go to play GTA San Andreas... Lol. Will it pull it off? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, the more RAM used the better. I'm using PA3.99RC2 with a kernel (I forget where I got it; just says d800 custom 5 cm) that doesn't use enough RAM. I always have 700-800MB free. I don't know what sysctl changes I can make to increase RAM use. I hope my phone isn't using a swap on its slow mobile phone NAND .
You can use Greenify which now doesn't require root. You can disable apps/system apps running on background that you don't use.

I have Greenify. But nevertheless I played Riptide GP2 earlier with full graphics. Smooth as butter. Good enough for me. :thumbup:
