[Q] CM7.1 home screen setups

I'm running the latest and greatest from carz found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011384 and I originally had an Elixir widget showing SD card space / internal space / wireless signal / battery etc but found that it was causing too much battery drain and causing the launcher to need to be re-launched whenever I hit him
I'm sort of looking for ideas of things to put on my home screen that
1) Won't cause my battery excessive drain
2) Won't cause the launcher from being forced from memory
Here's what I have currently and it's really boring...

How is this storage situation possible?

The math doesn't seem to add up to me but there could be more to it than I just don't see. Does anybody know why I don't have more free space?

backup your stuff manually and do a complete wipe. I lost some 3GB of storage space somehow but a wipe cleared that up. Loaded the same stuff back on and it was 3GB less than before.

I don't think the storage factors in the system or data partitions, which do count towards your total storage space. Try downloading an app called storage analyser. It gives pretty robust information on all partitions.

[Q] Photos and videos saying space is being used when not

So I have the 16gb nexus 7 and after checking my storage it says I have 796mb of photos and videos. The thing is though I have a total of 9 photos that are all no bigger then 1mb each and no videos at all. I'm really confused as to how its saying I have used all this space when I haven't.

Have you restarted recently? Sometimes that clears recently deleted files etc. Also, check out DiskUsage as it shows you what files are taking up the space.

my nexus is fully stock and no beta OS
is system usage of ram normal?
and is it a good idea to limit background processes to at most 4?
thanks

That's about right for mine. Im on PN 11-16-16. I can run as low as 800-900MB free and if I go into recent apps and clear all ill be left with about 1.3GBs free.

Thanks for reply
Actually i always do clearing apps also i use greenify to stop apps but even after that i barely get 900mg of free ram
But what im asking is that system is taking half of the memory about 1.2GB all the time is that normal?

Yes, it's probably keeping its own cache (on top of the kernel cache). Free ram is wasted ram!
I wouldn't touch anything.

It's fine.
