I have recently debloated a bit my phone (some freezes with titanium and hibernation with greenify) which led me to only 1.4GB of used Ram but the phone keeps closing the background applications even with a lot of ram left.
It seems like it limits the number of apps it can keep opened, for example, if I run heavy games it keeps only 4~5 games and the ram is around 2.3GB, which may look ok, but opening light applications, even UNDER 2GB of used ram, it starts closing apps after 5 or 6 opened apps. That makes no sense.
What could be done to fix this? Does this happen to you too?
I'm running stock rom and v9 ultimate kernel (exynos) and that option under developer options is set to standard.
Thanks.

For some reason I am unable to open more than 3 apps at a time. When I open a 4th one of the others close. I am running iLauncher 3.1 and wm6.1 pro. Is it possibly a setting in iLauncher which is causing the problem.
Yes it´s possible.
Also check how many free RAM you have.
I assume you have 64Mb Universal, which leaves you with low RAM if you are running a lot of stuff.
Any home app (spb, titanium, etc) will eat a considerably amount of RAM, try disabling.
Hope it helped,
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.

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?
When i tap the Close All Tabs button i always see around 3 Giga ram is available out of 6 Giga ram.
After i Close all Tabs it shows like 3.6~4 Giga ram but never it is Fully 6 or even 5.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is this legit or a problem with my phone?
Have you seen your computer's going to 0-10% utilization? That's because the OS and other background services are always running and they require RAM. My phone frees around 3.2GB when I clear all apps, and that's very good compared to Samsung which is always utilizing 70-75% of RAM.
Just as a addition:
Android (Linux) kernel does not treat RAM as you are used to in windows.
Windows is freeing the RAM a while after an application was stopped. Linux afaik does not free any RAM when closing an application. Only when a new application need more memory it will get space from closed apps.
The of closing apps in Android is just a feature implemented because people where complaining about memory consumption in Android even when apps were closed.
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?
