What is the point of develop and release a Rom with memory leak??
I see this issue when I open webpages on Facebook or consult content via Play Kiosco,
also the battery drains faster and also it heats up
as I see no matter how much they work on that ROM. the problem still will remain
if Im wrong please tell me, because I'm thinking of downgrade my smartphone to 4.4.2

Workarounds have been found for the memory leak. There's even an Xposed module that's supposed to fix the issue.
The memory leak is old news.
And it's google who messed up, not the guys here at XDA.

my comment wasn't for the guys of XDA at all, I mean why Samsung keep releasing updates of a ROM with that issues, I read about that fix with exposed, but until yesterday there was not any method for installing it on touchwiz ROMs
I already did the downgrade, but if the exposed fix works, that would be great, I like the lollipop experience, but stability is more important

Touchwiz doesn't have the memory leak issue. The memory leak was caused by the boot animation. Samsung uses a different boot animation format (qmg) for their animation. That's probably why.

I installed from sammobile the Russian one because it comes with spanish language included:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46518/I9500XXUHOD4_I9500SERHOD4_SER/
I tried with stock ROM and custom ROMs based on this firmware like which seems the latest versión, seriously I installed them like 3 or 4 times getting the same result
which one are you using??? does it comes with spanish language?
The memory leak was caused by the boot animation.

[SOLVED] "Unable to connect to camera" or crash after CM installer from 4.4.2 stock
Hello!
After installing CM on my uncle's S4 international LTE through CM installer, all camera apps crashes, saying sometime "Unable to connect to camera". How can I fix this? Actually the phone is with her, and I cannot see it for a while. I tried to restart and or clear cache data, but it didn't worked. Any other known fix? Getting back to stock would just be a shame!
SUMMARY: I've tried CM Installer, CM11M3 and CM11M9, and in none of them Google Camera works, even with the this app that elzangi adviced me. BUT i've tried this app and it does not works :|
SOLUTION: Reflash stock, reflash all the things. F**k you Samsung
Do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery.

Tried with latest CM stable from Installer, but nothing It does not even open. Now i've flashed the M3, but still the camera isn't working. Now i will try the app you linked me on this M3... Let's see
EDIT: does not work even on M3... HALP PLS!
EDIT: now i'm going for the M9, i don't think it will change something, but at least i'll have the latest CM
EDIT: It seems that only google and AOSP cameras crashes... the 3rd party apps works... that's really odd

1. It's because I like some Samsung things like multi window etc.
2. I like the surface of Touchwiz
3. The camera is way better in Touchwiz than in CM.

Of course you can. I installed the latest samsung firmware (NG8) and than rooted it. After that I installed SD Maid Pro, gave him root access and than remove a lot of stuff which runs in the background (but attention, just things from samsung and google you don't need, otherwise some things wont work anymore..)

FYI, if you read the bug report and the -2 (will not accept the change) submitted to aosp, you'll see that boot animation is optimized for not too many frames with not too much on them. This is a constraint that animation designers should take into account as it optimizes boot speed.
This is only affecting people using custom animations. CM has a custom animation which caused problems for a few days but for which a couple of different patches were submitted and then accepted.
Since I flashed I9505XXUHOB7 BTU rom I've noticed a sudden lack in system performance. So I checked my ram usage and saw this! This is even with all applications closed! Surely this can't be right?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time
It's a known problem (Memory leak) in Lollipop! It is incl. until Android 5.1! Internal it is fixed, but no one know in wich version the fix comes.
There is a fix in xposed module.

Hasn't android always loaded apps into memory actively to keep then ready to use? That's why task killers don't work. It's freed as needed but common data is loaded for fast access

This is only stock android as far as I know. The memory leak has something to do with the boot animation. Samsung shouldn't have this problem because they used a different format for the boot animation.
That's what I got from a different user some time ago.
Ahh right, thank you!
I confirm that on stock ROM the memory leak doesn't exist. That huge RAM usage comes from all the bloatware that Samsung inserts into the ROM, these apps are always running

I tried every rom posible and all have the biggest bug ever ...at least for me it is but nobody is talking about ...there is something i don't know ? there is no need to be mean to my question but why all roms have this problem with keeping the playstore apps updated ...why the apps revert to previous versions and why this is hapening only to custom roms ?.. if then i ask you what is the use of custom roms? ...
these days even a five years child can root install a custom cwm , a custom kernel a viper4 sound mod and debloat a original stock rom
Lol.
I haven't experience anything like that, in any Roms i have flashed.

a custom rom is exactly what it says it is, a customised version of the original android operating system that somebody has, in their own precious time, played around with to try & give us something a little different for this ageing device. Chances are that if you went out tomorrow & bought an S7 edge & fired it up you would have to update some gapps, whichever you may use. I think you need to take a deep breath & have a little more appreciation & understanding for the things that go on here. If a 5 yr old is able to do what you claim then maybe you should turn your hand to contributing to the community................... but thats just my opinion......no offence intended
Is this guy for real? Apps simply don't revert to previous version after you update them. There's a simple setting in the playstore that allows auto update of your installed apps to the latest version when they become available. And is this how you lose from custom Roms? Lololololol I thought your device blew up or melted.
Buy an IPhone and explain us how cool is it. You'll enjoy it, for sure

Believe it or not, but I have seen similar behavior with some of my apps.
I update it dl today and tomorrow I have to update again, but there doesn't seem to be any changes in the changelog.
But this happens rarely.
So I believe the OP exaggerates. This also started happening only recently, so it's either something related to the new Android updates - which means older ROMs (5.1 and below) should be safe - or something related to gapps.
To everyone who asked for this thread to be closed and/or brought up the fact it's in the wrong place, why did you not click on the little triangle at the bottom left of the post and report it? Mods can't do anything about it if they don't know there is an issue.
As to the OP, I actually tried keeping an Android 2.3.3 ROM's Google apps up to date - one of the features of the ROM I offered. To do that I didn't include anything but the Play Store. Today, such a task would be difficult. If you like, you can download a GApps package from OpenGApps on a daily basis and flash it yourself.

Port is not my work. It's by @kavatzas7, originally posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69580000&postcount=214. That one only works on unlocked bootloader, so I swapped the boot img with stock Sony one, for use on locked. I also made many framework and system app mods, (shown in screensshot), including menus, toast, backgrounds and scrolling navbar, by @Ticklefish. If you want the rom and don't like my mods, just download both and replace boot img.
Notes...
- Flashing rom with stock boot img will remove your recovery, so you'll have to reflash recovery.
- Attempting to flash kavatsaz7's rom with locked bootloader will result in black screen, with no boot, even to recovery. You'll have to use Flashtool to get kernel/rom back on your phone.

I didn't change anything in the build, but I worked out most of the visual bugs with 3rd-party apps, like black-on-black menus, etc. You can use Holo Themer per app if you need to. For fm radio, use a different app from Play Store. I tested out RadioFM, and it works fine.

It's been posted about this port that you will get reboots at first, but they will stop. I didn't port it, so can't help with technical stuff.
For notifications you can try LPThemer from Xposed, or replace your system ui with stock one, (you will also lose other systemui mods) or decompile systemui apk, and search xml files for color b32c3539, and change it to ff2c3539.
BTW, if anyone wants to try, I made a similar mod with some improvements for latest Dstrikersz1 build.

Ah, I see.. But it will start restart by itself if you click certain settings.
Thanks for answering. I found another problems tho, the internet speed seems so slow, it takes minutes to download small files from Play Store, even restoring things from WhatsApp took ages. And it seems killed app in the background because, once I open a messenger, it will flood by notifications.

It's a port, so not surprising to find bugs. The best part about eXistenZ is probably the customization, which is all there. Overall, it's a solid ROM, and the bugs are, for the most part, in the realm of extras, (although slow Internet is more of a real problem, but I haven't experienced that). If you want more of stability and less of extras, go for dstrikersZ1 ROM.
BTW - I never did quite finish modding this one, it's kind of messy looking. I got sidetracked with dstriker... I'll probably revamp this one and re-post.

So it is just me who have the problem with internet, is it because "doze" mode or something because I find that my phone will go to its deep sleep often, it does save battery but I don't quite like it, I keep missing phone calls or texts from people. Guess I will go back to DstrikersZ.
