[Q] What is the best RAM cleaner? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy.
What is best RAM cleaner for Android 4.3? My RAM is always about 700-800 MB (I play games, watch videos, use facebook so everything what is eat the RAM) on my S4. But after I reboot my phone it is about 1200 MB. So how can I fully clear the RAM without a reboot?

your system is cleaning RAM so you don't have to think about it..................best cleaner is no cleaner at all :good:

^^^^
Couldn't agree more.
Those apps are designed to Hoover money from suckers. Android manages RAM just fine itself; it doesn't like 'free' RAM. Thing is people are used to Windows managing RAM badly/not releasing RAM when programs are exited/etc, so when they see low free RAM in Android they think they need to free some up/use an app to do this.
If you constantly free RAM up in Android, rather than having apps ready to go based on your usage patterns which Android does normally, it has to start apps completely from scratch, and you will end up using more battery long run as a result.

As mentioned above the system is designed to manage RAM itself by freeing up as and when required. But if you want to quickly refresh you could use the built-in task manager (hold home button) to close all open apps. Theres also Greenify (search play store) which hibernates apps and prevents them from running constantly in the background using up resources, its not as harsh as a "RAM cleaner" as it works more with the way processes and services are handled by android.

And just a command?

Memory optimisation tweaks? How to get more free RAM?

Any useful tweaks or settings which I could use? There is many appn on the market and they allow to tweak internal memory management but I have no idea what settings to use.
No matter which I try, my phone always seem to stick to ~100MB RAM Free. Why so much? I'd prefer ~50MB RAM Free and more apps running without closing.

you mean you want 100mb ram free but only have 50mb? you can check out a ram cleaner script. the link is in my signature called mods for virtuous unity. just download the zip file, back up your phone and superwipe, then flash your rom then ram cleaning script then reboot and your done
Actually it was the other way around, I always had 100 MB free and my apps have been closed often. I played with one of the tools to tweak internal memory manager and now my free RAM goes down to 60 and apps stay in memory, this is what I wanted. FireFox Nightly takes a lot on its own...
Will play with settings some more before posting them here.
Only app and root needed, no scripts or Rom flashing.
I'm runing CoreDroid port, I love its theme.
My opinion is if what you perceive as a lack of available memory is not degrading the performance of your phone, including the apps which run on the phone, then it's a non-issue as the latest versions of Android have a much better handle on memory management than the older versions.
I agree but in my case system had 100MB RAM free but when I launched another app it would close other app and system would still have 100 MB RAM Free. So imagine me opening media player and listening to mp3 and then I launch Firefox and music stops, yet there is still 100 MB RAM Free.
I have changed settings and it's better now, Free RAM drops down to 60MB so I can have more apps running.
Previously, Firefox would close whenever I switched out of it, annoying.

possible ram problems, back to the past?

Hi
Anyone is having ram problems ?
On S2 I always have about 400 in use even with 400 apps installed the worse condition was about 200 free, but on note most of the time with less than 20 apps from market I am having about 160 free.
I fear the moment that I install all the old ones and see again the ram memory problems of first android phones and the need to get back the task killers, configure autostarts and all of that crap that I forgot with the S2.

Android is designed to fill as much memory as it can with apps, so free space generally isn't a concern at all. In fact, in theory you should only be concerned if you DO have a lot of memory free.
Tasker, however, did complain when it didn't think I had enough memory free.

The problem it isn't that android use alls, the problem it is that if you don't have enough free all the device will be slower.
why?
Becuase you have all the ram used in programs and if a new one needs more memory, like for example the browser, he will try first to delete others data and then copy her data to the ram and this will make the devices slower. Then we will have another situation, when the program can't delete others data so he can't use the ram and we will get memory notification problems and a slower device that fails to run some programs.
And 150mb free it is very little, some browsers uses about 100/150mb or games or any other apps, so I think it is a situation to be really concerned about.
I've rooted and frozen several apps from Samsung including the TouchWiz Launcher, I've installed a bunch of apps and RAM can be up to ~430mb once I've killed all tasks. I use two task killers (Process Manager & Advanced Task Manager) and I have the latter auto-kill tasks in 30 minute intervals.
But if you've installed 400+ apps, I'd think that would somewhat affect the RAM count.

[Q] I wanna free my Ram a bit

how can I ?

No point
Android will free ram if needed and ram cleaners and anti-viruses often mess this up

]May i ask why you need the RAM? Its android operating system after all if program requires more RAM the system will free enough. You have 1gb free which is more than enough. If you want to free more install some ram killer/cleaner like Clean Master,or uninstall some apps that you dont use. cheers :highfive:
thanks for answers
but it's about the battery, I wanna keep the phone on as much time as I can without needing to charge it
and I thought that all these running apps are consuming the battery and reducing its lifetime
Actually, having apps in the RAM saves battery. It's more battery-consuming to have to read the apps into RAM every time you want to use them. Better have them preloaded in the RAM and always ready-to-use.
They aren't 'running' in the background, but more like 'hibernating'.
If you really want to make sure no apps are consuming data and such in the background, then use Stamina Mode. Also checking which apps are allowed to automatically sync data is one way to go.

High RAM usage, any fixes?

So my S7 edge is usually consuming 2.5 - 3 GBs of RAM and I don't even have many background apps running apart from the usual (FB, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc).
Does anyone know how to reduce RAM usage on this device? On my Z3 running stock Amdroid, the RAM usage used to be about 1.3GBs (out of 3GBs RAM). Touchwiz seems to take so much RAM for no reason!

You dont need to reduce. The way android works best is filling up the unused space with cached programs.

That is how Android works. In Android, free RAM is wasted RAM.
It fills RAM with apps, so that they open quickly and can be switched back and forth quickly.
Do NOT try to clear RAM, as Android will just fill it back up, and you'll use more battery in the process.

I know that, but that leaves less RAM for other apps to use, so if I have many apps running in background (FB, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Inbox, Messenger, etc), they become slow or when I resume them, they have to start again instead of actually resuming. So I was looking for a way to reduce RAM usage so I have more RAM for the apps I use and less RAM for all the Touchwiz/Samsung crap.

Settings > battery > App power saving might help.
otherwise let Android manage it's own RAM.

Best ROM for performance/overclocking/gamedev?

Hi all,
I am using a T350 to test some game builds on and I am getting low frame rates because it is a few years old now
Which ROM is the most "stripped/bloatfree" version which I could use to do my tests on, And can you recommend any which have overclocking functions, and if so, what kind of stable settings have been found to work on a T350.
Thanks!
The main problem seems to be the lack of RAM, As it has 1.5GB but using JazzROM, The system uses almost 1gb of memory alone. How can I free up memory space from system processes ?
Honestly there isn't a whole lot you can do, you could maybe free up a few more MB if you go into system processes and kill some random stuff. But you're already on a custom ROM so there won't be much if anything to kill.

JazzROM is stock base ROM, that's why, it is NOT really slimmed down version. What you can do is, you can use root explorer and go to System --> Apps, and delete some apps (make sure these apps can be downloadable from either Galaxy App Store or Google Play Store)
Ok thanks guys. I set "do not run background processes" and deleted some system apps, I can get about 800mb of free memory. One other thing I wanted to ask is that when I press the power button on the device to put it in standby mode, It goes to a lock/clock screen and doesnt turn the display off using JazzROM, Any ideas?
