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

Autokiller does exactly what you are asking for...

Which LagFix to use...

...there are several lag fixes out there now. Which one would be the best/safest to use???
edit: I have a stock rooted vibrant.

RyanZA without a doubt, one click. Get USB drivers. easy to do and easy to undo.

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.

read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?

The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font

When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc

Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

Has anyone else been experiencing random shutdowns on their play?

maybe sony changed the cpu frequency table in the new kernel, would account for the reboots

2.3.3 fixed it for me.

Just to be clear my phone does not reboot it shuts off and the only way I can get it back on is by popping the battery and putting it back in.

That is your punishment for using task killers
The only possible reason to use a task killer anymore is if for some strange reason you want to kill your battery as fast as possible.

I've had a few. I think I've had 5 since I got it on Saturday.
It's still better than my Captivate and Desire HD, though.

Not reboots, but the phone does hang quite often.
Having used the xperia x10 before i was expecting a better performance with the phone.
not happy with the play

Me too, I have experienced a couple of random reboots since my update to 2.3.3. One happened during charging. The other one happened right after quitting game.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

The lagging was getting pretty bad, so I installed Launcher Pro and that helped. The stock launcher used a lot of memory for me.
I believe we'll see the problems disappear once custom ROM's start showing up.

I've had resets after quitting games too.

I only had one random reboot during phone call (-_-)
But except that everything's been fine.

I've had two random reeboks since getting the phone.
Once on 2.3.2 and once on 2.3.3 whlist using Opera mini.
Opera Mini also randomly closes on me way too often, I think a lot of apps aren't fully compatible with 2.3 and it causes the OS to spaz out and shut down.

cpu's are designed to reboot if they detect any kind of extreme (heat or high/low frequencies ect) some cpu are very sensitive to very high or low frequencies, if sony has changed the tables, it could be somthing as simple as a big jump in the frequency at high load time that is making the cpu reboot the device, check the log function in setcpu, i think you maybe able to change the frequencies, i know with my DHD and the same cpu, i had some reboot issues when the devs started messing about with the tables

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?

Yes the other 220 is for the os

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.

What's the reason for battery pulls on the evo 4g?

My 4g constantly requires a battery pull once a day, this is my 4th evo and all of them are the same. evo freees, have the pull battery to get it back working again, getting tired of it and it's not rooted.
What's the cause for this and why haven't htc produced a fix?
Also I'm thinking of picking up something else cheap and selling my evo, Motorolla photon or htc evo design? what's a better be?
What's the resale value of my evo 4 g/ 120?

Are you updated with the latest OTA? Have you done a factory reset recently?

Yes, all my evos freeze.

I would try rooting it and flashing a good, solid ROM like MikG 3.11.
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk

I had 3.0 and it frooze too, it's either all the evos freeze or its a program I'm running.
Can someone comment of the other phones?

It's something your doing, because the EVO 4G has been around almost 2 years and never heard of anyone having that problem before. And even if someone did have that problem on 1 phone, it wouldn't happen on a 2nd, let alone 4.
So I highly doubt changing to a different phone will help you at all.

Mine freezes occasionally, usually when I'm impatient and try to do a bunch of stuff right after it boots up and is still loading. Other than that, no freezes or other problems. It could be an app that you always have installed, maybe you should try factory resetting and see if it still does it. If it doesn't, slowly reinstall your apps until it does, then you'll be able to narrow down the problem more easily.

This^
That being said the EVO Design 4G is a nice handset, my brother has one...with little rooting or 3rd party ROM support as of yet...I don't think there's even a forum for it on XDA.

Only time my phones freeze is when I try to do something right after boot b4 the media scanner finishes running or when I try to push the clockspeed past its limits just to see what will happen like the time I clocked the evo to 1.6 and it would freeze the bootani and need to be restored or on the et4g I tried clocking it to 2ghz and it would boot but then go to sleep of death once the screen goes off gotta pull the battery to turn it back on

Yeah, I've had my Evo since launch day, and the only time I have to do battery pulls is when I've tried clocking too high, or running a really experimental ROM.
The problem is on your end, I would say. Good luck. There's already good advice posted here.

More than likely in your case its an errant app causing freezes maybe something sideloaded from a 3rd party market that's not compatible with your device or some kind of mod or tweak you've used

If he's unrooted/stock, I don't think there are many apps/mods that would cause this kinda behavior.
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk

There are tons of apps and mods you can use unrooted, you can sideload apps on any rom by checking the unknown sources box and downloading and app from the internet and installing it even if it isn't mean for your device, and there are many mods you can do to unrooted devices such as 3rd party launchers, some scripts that can be run that don't require root, changing the SD read ahead cache, setting up profiles for CPU clockspeeds in apps such as setcpu or something similar, plus he mentioned he wasn't rooted then said he was rooted, he could be trying to use an app that requires root on an unrooted device, the possibilities of app conflicts on a rooted or unrooted device are near endless, especially if you use sideloaded apps that are cracks or warez such as games

May just be an app, i had advance task killer on my unrooted evo when i first got it and had that problem, took it to sprint and they deleted it because they said it was an bad app fir the evo.
