wow...the vibrants ram is crap....

Im running on simply honey 3.5 gingerbread.... I cant even leave the browaer open to go back to check my facebook without comibg back seeng it reload... and i never get more than 150+ free memory... my aunts iphone 3gs has more free ram... and i know that it has 512mb shared but seriously.. Compared to other 512mb phones this is bull****... they get more than 200mb user ram...

Isn't that based on your internet connection, not ram? lol
and misclicked and hit thanks on accident. -_-

No...i cant multitask more than 4 simple apps at a time withought it shutting them off... terrible..

Mine's working just fine to be quite honest..what are these "simple apps" of yours?

Must just be the ROM.
I have facebook, web browser, twitter, engadget, xda, and more multi-tasked on Bi-Winning and they aren't ever closed.

Well i dont have problems on 2.2.1 roms but on every ginger rom like asgard and simply honney.... the ram is basicly crap cuz ginger takes like 210mb on startup :/

Its not the rams fault for processes being killed. Its the ROM/ Kernel your on. You don't want processes being killed use less aggressive LMK settings. The ram on the vibrant works perfectly as it should, this is merely a case of your system not being optimized for what you want. So simply....go fix it. Use less aggressive setting for LMK and a kernel with more user ram. But to be honest this thread has been repeated 1billion times over and people just need to get over the fact that Linux/Android IS NOT LIKE WINDOWS...free ram is wasted ram

Well it's clearly the rom/kernel's fault. Just go back to 2.2 roms if you're facing issues.

Thank you for having the patience to write it out. Perfectly put.

also, if youre using a RAM optimization app, that could be doing it as well...

This. Couldn't have said it any better Eco.

It's a setting you have on which is likely set to "Agrressive" meaning the minute the ROM doesn't think you need an app, it closes it, regardless of RAM. I can run quite a lot of apps simultaneously all the time. Not a RAM problem.

Yes, +1.... I Also Say thank you to Ecotox for articulating how Android works so well.
Furthermore, 2.3 roms really only face a 2-3 of real issues:
Because of porting and lack of dedicated Vibrant drivers we have too much battery demand/drain.... the lack of GPS because of no source code or drivers.... because of lack of drivers there are a few small hesitations as a result of porting.
But that said, All in All, the developers have done nothing shy of remarkable work getting these ported roms to work nearly perfectly...... their skills is why we have such choices.
Rather than complaining.......... try to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem/noise..........

Thanx everyone... now I understand.
What app is there on the market or anywhere that can have me set the ram from agresive to least agresive cuz I don't think spare parts work.

[SUGGESTION] V6 Supercharger script integration for our SGS1s

To the attention of all ROM/Kernel devs I would like to introduce the one and only RAM solution for android
Developed and updated by zeppelinrox, the V6 Supercharger Script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
Some may have heard about it, some may have read/written a thread about it, but I want it to become more popular, at least here in the SGS community.
The ROM I'm on has this ram script integrated, but I feel that there is more that could be achieved for both ROM and Kernel related Ram management.
If you reed carefully you will notice that latest update of the script has included a 'hard to kill launcher' and 'kernel tweaks' options in the installation. And since I have no idea about code I would like the devs of this community to try, think and maybe open an united project for proper integration of this script on our device.
Since my time on the XDA I have come to realize after countless flashing how many people do real and hard work and share it here on this forum. I humbly bow before you all in respect and ask you as a fan, as one looking upwards filled with hope , to consider.
I thank you for your spend time in advance.
Cheers from Bulgaria and again props for all hardworking people in this forum
moe

The opinions of people using the Supercharger script in their systems would also be very appreciated for making this script more popular.
Free RAM levels with integrated Supercharger in Simplicity ROM
- Multitasking Ram levels: 50s/60s
- Normal Free Ram levels (with excluded widgets): 90s/110s
- Gaming Free Ram levels: 140MB +
This is on GalaxianEE Kernel with 334MB Free Kernel Ram

Really .. no interest ...

The developer of this script wants people to be leaded to original page of the script, he does not want developers to intergrate it to their rom.

Please, any other users feedback will be also greatly appreciated.

hmm i tried it, but it seems like the improvement is negligible... is it because our SGS already has plenty of RAM? The script was made for low-RAM phones in the first place right?

and, wow!

I'd wish it would be integrated in roms or kernels. it's simply the best. but it's to complicated, for doing it every time i change the rom (or/and kernel?)

Sorry for the noob question, but why do you list two sets of parameters? I can only set one when running supercharger...

As far as I get it, the supercharger script overwrites the stock OS LMK settings, but with that it works on demand and chooses how to act (before and instead of the stock os one)
The values in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree are the stock ones, I think..
The ones in /data/SuperChargerMinfree are the ones which the script uses to overwrite.
I listed the two values, because we have a safe backup for playing with the values as far as I understand from reading in the original thread.
That's why I listed this thread in General, because I need more opinions. And on the thing if it's only for low RAM phone, I do not agree. This script have massively improved all RAM management that I have ever wanted.
Please feel free to share settings and opinions on those settings in this thread!
P.S.
ZioGTS, not a noob question, but a good remark for me not being clear enough. Thanks

I played around and found out that these settings work really nice for me. Not too aggressive and yet I have a lot of free RAM for multi or single tasking. Thanks for the feedback!!

Hi,
I just thought that I will share my settings for SGS as well. I've already played around with various settings like: Agressive (option 1); Balanced 1.2.3 (options: 4,5,6); MegaRam 1 and 2 and a few my customized settings.
With every setting I had a bulletproof launcher (it was not restarting at all), but I found that after a day of using a phone the applications started to start slower.
Again I made some customized settings and now use the following numbers:
6,8,30,60,80,100
Maybe it will work for some one as well.

Sorry but do not remember what settings I had before I applied V6supercharger. Nevertheless my free memory was something around 50 MB. Now with current V6sett I have around 70-80.
What I found is that every time I start "Cut the rope" game, both contacts and dialer get killed.
If I go with balanced settings, there is a high chance they will stay in memory, but the apps start slower after a day or two.
So the best compromise would be to have the settings that prevent our most willing apps to be killed and the other not.
Best of the best solutions would be to have a chance to decide which app is running on each slot of Lowmemkiller. This case we could have our contacts and dialer untouched even with low memory...
Now we can only guess. Somewhere I read that most apps run in slot 3 therefore giving this too high value will cause them to be closed by any further app start.
There is no point to have more free ram if android needs to load the same app over and over again cause it got killed already...
Sorry for making it so long
EDIT:
I had to modify my settings, because when I played high resources consuming game it closing after a short while and I was left with home screen...
Now I have the following values:
6,8,26,34,60,80
They were already tested with same game and other things. So far so good, however I think apps start a little bit slower.
Just to make everything straight, I am on Galixian GT.
Anyone has some other good configuration? Maybe you use SuperchargerBeta3 with kickasskernel?

Or use the original V6 Supercharger, which was poorly copied by that app

V6 or nothing.

I don't need this app since I use DiXperia 2 ROM. Super smooth even with millions widgets installed.

Prefer stock for the official support and this app is helpful for gaming lag/etc.

Prefer this app to v6

I remember seeing Juwe11 post a ram script and it was hell popular last time too. Why is it accused of being a copy now?

i downlaoded the pro version, switch to hard gamming, and i still have the same performance on dead trigger, a bit laggy and with some frame drops, im running the game on the lowest setting

Hard Gamming ( Less Agressive ) Mode: ON

Zep (the creator of V6) claims RMP stole some numbers and OOM fixes he used for his script. Which is why V6 wont even install if you have RMP somewhere installed.

All of this is just placebo until numbers can be shown, and even then its not for sure. Even Antutu can be + or - 1000 points depending what cycle the moon is in (joke), but yeah I believe 90% of the scripts out there don't do anything useful at all. I've never noticed a difference. Even the bravia engine is a joke, unless you side by side a hi res picture, you really aren't going to notice difference.

In past, i used this. And i think that is placebo effect, like others. No real or significant results.

Tips to Speed up our Phones!!

Hello guys,
Our X8/W8 is a slow speed device and without proper memory management there would be many lags and unresponsiveness in our device.So to overcome these problems I have some tips and thought that I will share it with all you guys.
These are those tips that I know of and those that I believe will actually speed up your phone and some tips here will also allow you to conserve some battery life too.So here we go:
Dont use too many apps.Delete all unused apps.
Dont use more than 2 launchers in the same device.It will cause a lot of RAM loss.
When selecting your default launcher try to select a launcher that is small in size so that it will ony take up a small amount of RAM.
To reduce HomeScreen Redrawing check the "Keep Home In Memory" app found in almost all Custom ROMs.This will reduce the time taken for your HomeScreen to fully load up after you exit an app.
Dont Undervolt the CPU if you find that your Phone is becoming too slow.
When selecting a rom make sure that your ROM is lightweight(small in size).The Custom ROM runs in the RAM of our device and when the Custom Rom is small in size then it will take up only a small amount of RAM and you will have more free RAM.
Odexed ROMs should technically speed up your Phone but the difference will be only minor.
If your manufacturing date is 11W29 or below then it would be good to unlock the Bootloader and flash a Custom Kernel.If the Custom Kernel is a good one then we can notice a change in our Phone's speed.
Remove all bloatware from the Custom Rom.
Reduce the use of Live Wallpapers.
Turn off 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Data Services etc when they are not in use.This speeds up your Rom and also conserves your Battery.
Overclocking should be done ONLY when needed so bad.What it does is that it supplies more power than needed to you CPU and tries to increase its clock speed.This may speed up you phone but it also OVERHEATS the CPU and as a long term effect it may destroy your CPU.So you will have to buy a new phone!
Its better to have a darker theme than a lighter one.Darker themes conserves the Battery and also speed up your device a bit.
Dont use a Third Party Task Killer app. Android will manage it memory by itself.
After Rebooting or Turning on the device wait for a 1-2 minutes even after the screen is fully loaded.This allows the ROM to settle and you can use it more efficiently afterwards.
Use of V6 Supercharger by Zepplinrox,The Adrenaline Engine etc has to be considered over Overclocking as overclocking will ultimately damage the CPU.
This list of tips will be constantly updating.If you have any tips that you use to speed up your phone please post it here and I will add it to this list.
Click THANKS if this helped!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!

In all my life I have never heard this before.I dont think Android will kill the SystemUI. It is like killing itself, and that is NOTlikely to happen.The "Lock Home In Memory" doesnt make your launcher indestructible! It just make it a little more difficult to kill but yet "kill-able".It will kill the launcher only when a lot of other unwanted apps have been killed.That option just gives the launcher a little more priority.

When you overclock have you ever touched the phone's back???
Well you can see that its hotter than usual. This means that more amount of power goes into the CPU.
For example, You take the case of a LED.When you give it the right amount of power it lights up very well,but what happens when you give it a lot more power than needed??It will overheat and eventually get destroyed.Thats the same thing that will happen here.Overclocking may not explode your CPU but if you have overclocked for a long time and then switch to normal then you can see that the CPU is now less efficient than it was before overclocking.
Cheers

last mini cm10 nightly + nAa .32 v4 its pretty fast but when I add Seeder app it seems to be a lot of faster.
App is reduced some lags so maybe it's only illusion

By doing implementing these tips you can get a better speed without much effort.But surely these tips wont make your phone an Xperia Z but you can surely notice some effects.

Swapper 2
Does using swapper 2 or a similar application help ?

I personally wont recommend Swaping. It will reduce our SDcard life. And we need to use a very high quality SD card which is very costly and and you will have a reduced life span of SD card too. But if you can afford buying a High Quality Class SD card once in a while then its OK.

Reviving your slow SGS.

So I recently changed over to the nexus 4, and I say, it is AMAZING. I just got to the point where the SGS just didnt cut it anymore. It has hung in there for a long time, but its starting to become under-powered for new versions of Android.
So in this guide, I am going to show you how to speed up your Galaxy S, and push it to its max performance.
You will need a custom kernel like Semaphore. I made this guide with no regard to battery life, but i did avoid using un-necessary power.
1. Live OC
- This increases the Bus, Ram and GPU speeds.
- This is very good because information can only be transferred as fast as the bus can transfer it. So if your CPU is fast, but your bus is to slow, it creates a bottle neck. So upping bus speed as well as CPU/GPU/Ram speeds can drastically increase performance.
- Find settings that are stable for your phone. For me this was 123%.
- Note that this will change the CPU clock speed choices that you have. Normal.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. CPU Clock Speed / Governor
- Increasing Clock Speeds allow your processor to calculate more per second, therefore increasing performance.
- Start by finding the maximum frequency that your device is capable of handling, while still keeping stability. For me, this is 1400MHZ.
- Set lowest clock speed to 200 or 400. 200 is the best all-round, and actually uses less power than 100MHZ due to faster race to idle. I use 400 for performance.
- Use a snappy governor. Min/max is great, it is what i use.
- For more battery. lulzactive, ondemand, and smartass are all good.
- Enable smooth UI tweak.

3. RAM settings / management.
A. MOAR RAM.
- The Galaxy S has very limited ram, so we must make the best of it.
- It has 500mb, but some is allocated for the camera and GPU, so we only get ~400 in the end.
- Use the Bigmem option. Around 400mb, but breaks 720p recording. Its a good sacrifice.
- Also, Un-install any apps that you are not using! This can free up cache space and leave it for important processes. Go to settings/running/caches for more info.
- Go to settings/developer options/background process limit, and set this to keep more ram free. I use 3.

B. Enabling Swap
- Enabling swap allows the kernel to use specially allocated memory (on your SD card) to store cached pages that aren't currently being used, instead of storing them in RAM.
- Frees RAM for foreground or heavy processes.
- Make sure you use a fast SD card, and do not set the swappiness to high, both of these can slow your phone down.

4. CM Performance Settings.
- Setting these properly can also increase performance on your device. It will not create any instabilities.
- I/O schedulers are all very similar. I personally prefer SIO, CFQ, or VR
- Under Memory management, Allow purging of assets and enable Kernel same page merging. Both use more clock cycles, but free needed RAM.
- Avoid ZRAM. Performance gain is not enough for the number of clock cycles needed to compress and decompress the RAM.
- Enable 16 bit transparency. Lighter load on the system when drawing graphics, and has never causes visual artifacts for me.
- Disable surface dithering. One less thing for your device to do, equals more performance.

5. Animation Scales (not necessary)
- This simply makes your device LOOK faster buy increasing the speed of the animations.
- Go to developer options and find Window Animations scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Duration Scale.
- Turn them all to 0.5 for a faster UI.

It does reduce life for sure. As does live OC.
I over clocked my phone for a long time, and it has had no bad effects. It works great to this day. It reduces, but not significantly that you should worry about.
Most CPUS are designed to last for 10+ years, and you may take a year or two off. Nothing major!

it is not necessary at all, but there is nothing wrong with getting as much bang for your buck as you can!

This thread isn't really a guide then, it doesn't look like you can use swap with semaphore.
