I've been using Galaxy 3 (I5801) for 2+ years now,
Always wanted to upgarde the phone and get something cool, but due to personal problems never had 20K spare to buy a decent phone so was almost forced to keep using it month after month.
Thanks to kyrillos for giving us Rom updates so we kept living with this device till date.
Recently my phone started being very very sluggish, Games were out of question, it used to make me bang my head even with basic apps like Maps and browser used to make it beg for a reboot.
I usually restarted phone but this was getting on my nerves and reboot sometimes needed another reboot as not all apps show up, whatever.
I have around 100 apps Installed, not used everyday but love having them for some occasional use.
Today I was in urgent need to use a bank app. and phone gave me more frustration so I started playing around to see what can help me make it usable for another couple of months.
Earlier I've been using "Android System Info" to view the available ram and processes and kill the ones not required to run, Don't know why apps like youtube, cyanogen stats, titanium backup tries to run when their was no Active or scheduled usage, this kept sucking RAM off this poor phone which started showing lags of death.
Anyway to cut this post short, I found a App called " All-In-One Toolbox (14 Tools) - System Optimizer" which offers 17 tools in one decent price i.e. Free.
installed it and tried quick boost, phone was on 14% available RAM and it jumped to 51% and phone was smooth like new, then came the other included tools in "AIO Toolbox"
Used "Cache Cleaner" and it gave some extra MB's to phone memory.
Then used History cleaner to get more junk deleted
Then ran SDCard Cleaner and cleaned old "LOGS" and some more junk.
Then used "Boot Speedup" and unchecked the junk which ran along every reboot as they were not required.
Unchecked in user : Skype, Task Reminder, Titanium Backup, youtube, officesuite, etc etc so they don't load at boot.
unchecked in system: email (I am sure not required when you use "gmail" app already), SIM Toolkit.
Once went through all things to double check, did the reboot, and guess what, Didn't had a single "LAG " since last 12 hours,
used it like I used my phone during weekdays and didn't needed to curse or abuse it, not even a reboot.
Ah my head feels relaxed as i didn't banged this phone on my head since morning.
Please don't take this as I am promoting any app, Fact is I am not working for anyone, not even in real life. :crying:
This is just my personal experience with this phone and wonders this excellent toolbox did to it.
Thanks for sharing this also don't worry there's always going to be tough times in life. It will get better soon; all the best.

Thanks dilzo.
Update: Started using ZDbox (All-In-One toolbox). to speed up and its working more better as settings had an option to Auto-boost once Ram is below 50MB.
this one includes a easier cache cleaner and many new features like DND mode and Also the battery stats including info during charge is more precise and detailed.
I use an app called "App Quarantine" and freeze apps that use ram in the background. Example, Google Maps. I use maps once a week, but it uses ram all the time. So I just unfreeze it when I need it.

Kyrillos yet to update his Rom, I don't want to run this phone on 1366Mhz for sure.
I am using marcellusbe's ROM CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 )
and phone is snappier and happier.
I know this has nothing to do with the topic but i wanted share. I just found out about an app called sidebar lite (i saw it in qbking77' s video ). Its a mutitasking app like the one in the note 2 .

Hello
For sure...
I use Kyrillos Rom with this 1366Mhz fugumod kernel, and it's working very fine ! No lag, no bug...
Now I only use my I5800 when I do running with the Runtastic app to track my course with G, just wifi.PS (to keep my new Acer V370 free from sweating), along with FM radio or music player and to have a phone with me in case of emergency (as, even with no sim card inside, it's possible to call emergency numbers).
Here are my Quadrant stats :
Total : 829 (around 520 with stock rom )
CPU : 1214
Mem : 474
I/O : 1469
2D : 758
3D : 230
Until now, no bug encountered...
HELP
Thanks a lot BOSS >>>>>>>>>
I was searching For this only ....................
My phone always Irritates me BY NO INTERNAL SPACE ..........
Can anyone Help ............
I've used Link2SD ........:crying:... But it's Not Working
Had my S7 Edge for just over a week and absolutely love the phone.
However, gaming is a massive disappointment. Real Racing 3 is often stuttering to the point where it is unplayable.
Fortunately I know why; the RAM usage is hovering around 70-80% seemingly not leaving enough for the game.
Once I close a handful of running apps, the game is smooth for about 2 minutes which is when the apps restart.
Some of the most common apps continuously running/restarting:
Chrome
Word
One Drive
360 Security
Internet (can't delete)
Weather (can't delete)
+ loads of default apps which I am not familiar with. Btw - my phone was not infested with lots of bloatware.
I could delete more apps, but I installed them because I need them. Surely that defeats the point of the phone.
Many apps are advertised as being able to shut down unwanted stuff, but there is no option to permanently disable system apps or event prevent user installed apps restarting. Is rooting the phone my only option?
What version do you have? I have G935F and RR3 is running like a dream on mine with multiple apps open/in ram
I have the same version. How much ram to you usually have free?
Haven't encountered that issue during my usage of the S7 edge, so it could be a software issue. In case you want to disable unwanted apps without rooting, you can try the Debloater tool. Basically, it disables apps, so that they won't run in the background or be accessible at all - it removes them from the app drawer too. You'd have to be careful if there are some services you actually use and don't want to disable them inadvertedly.
Which update is running on your s7?
I have usually 1.6gb ram free before I start playing games...during game play it drops to 1gb ram free....baseband is G935FXXU1APD9. Got the update a week ago

Sounds promising. My baseband is G935FXXU1APD1. What exactly does this new update do? There is not description of it for some reason:
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy-S7-edge/7u3f/XFA/G935FXXU1APDH/G935FOJV1APD8/
Uninstall 360 Security ASAP. It's known to be adware, and the app in general is complete garbage. Why on earth would you install it? Don't install any anti virus crap.
Also, the latest version of Pushbullet has a bug that rapes the CPU, so uninstall it too for now, if you have it installed.
root and then run the debloat script. job done

Thought it might be good to have extra security and it was a top rated app. I guess the default antivirus is sufficient - deleted!
To be honest it didn't consume too much ram - even with that uninstalled it still consumes 70+ %
No pushbullet installed.
Got the EZ Package Disabler which seems to be able to get rid of any app - user- or factory installed - so I just need to figure out which ones are safe to get rid of.
Problem is that I need some of the apps - if I could just prevent them from autostarting rather than deleting

Hi,
Did you use it paired with celular phone (bluetooth) or with a SIM installed ?
If paired, how notifications happen in watch ? Whatsapp and Social Network apps (Facebook, Twitter, ...) appears fine ?
I had a Moto 360 and purchased a Lemfo Lem5 last week.
Best regards.

Actually there many threads about the LEM5 on XDA.
My suggestion to find a lot of useful info about it, some of them not even supposed here on XDA, is to look at this G+ community and this dedicated forum:

Sorry man but the only good that happend to this forum was eric launcher
And first time produce his work you snob him
Corvus supported him and change your oppinion about
The only uou do is to ban members if post links like you do now
And accuse people that envolve with watch companys and support these companys with launchers and apk
I believe developers should envolve with companys is the natural way
But accuse all the other as something bad is ipocritic

i am using it Bluetooth, and in my opinion the battery is not that big to handle the 3G network for complete day without charge.
pairing works fine, but notifications are one-way only. you read the notification on the watch but can't reply. Actually the way notifications are pushed is like the lock screen, i.e. for whatsapp if it's the one notification you can read the message otherwise it'll just say two new messages.
for me the biggest disappointment was not able to sync the fitness data to cell phone. Do you know any apps which can do that?

I completely disagree with you, but this is not the point.
Despite what you and me think of them, that G+ community and that forum are plenty of users who share their experience about LEM5 and many other round android smartwatches.
2 - way Notification App for Lemfo Lem5? SwappLINK?
Hi all
I was wondering if there is an alternative to the Lemfo notification app that you can recommend? One that supports sending message replies, using the watch speaker and mic to make and answer phonecalls via bluetooth from the phone and choosing which phone apps can send notifications. Swapplink used to do all of that but is no longer on google playstore. I am sure I can download the APK but it looks like it hasnt been updated since 2014. Any suggestions? I can only seem to find BTNotifier or Android Wear apps...
My number is through Google Voice, so I text and call using Hangouts. Is Hangouts usable on the LEM5 and does it fill the display, or am I going to have a tiny little square I have to deal with?
I have mine since 15 days ago, well my opinion is the following, before this use a pebble time, I would not catalog the LEM5 as a smartwatch, it is more a smartphone that is worn on the wrist, smartwatch applications do not They work correctly, but the smartphone if they work correctly, you can have whatsapp independent of the phone and because it has a simcard slot, and so for all applications in the store, whether games or others, the negative point is that Are not optimized for round screen, and in some cases can not be used, virtual keyboards do not show all keys, fleksy and minuum (the complete) work well, touchpal is the best.
*The notifications of the phone to the clock, in case of whatsapp only show the text of the message, and not who sends it. The battery does not last more than 20 hours using it in airplane mode, under normal use 15 hours maximum.
To summarize, is a small smartphone that receives notifications from another smarphone, its worth the price and the screen is beautiful and there are many themes to download and it is fun to use, and try to run applications in round screen when they are designed for rectangles

That you choose the one that suits you in the configuration of the equipment, the round only cuts the image but does not optimize it

What you have done here is collected just about all the copyright protected faces and launchers ever made and distributed them without permission.
You do not own any of them. You did not make any of them and you have been reported - not just to the XDA admin team but to outside agencies as well.
What did you think you were doing ? It's a blatant act of piracy .......
Hi all i am not able to connect lemfo lem5 smart watch with android phone (HTC desire 10).I tried many BT notification app but not able to pair .
Can any buddy tell me which app needs to be installed.
You need a LEMFO App in your phone:
Just open LEMFO watch App in your watch, down to the "Download Mobile app" with the QR image, capture the QR image with a QR App in your phone. You will be redirected for downloading and installing the app
Very detailed review
Hello all,
I have a Lemfo lem 5 for about one month now and i think i can do a detailed review of it, maybe will be useful for some people.
On the first day i became very disappointed with the battery, even without turn the wifi of 3g , the clock worked for about 4 or 6
hours, but after some time i've done a factory reset and discovered that some apps that i've installed , consumes battery even with the wifi
turned on, like skype for example, and other apps that give symlinks on the launcher for fast productivity. The best i could do, was using
apps tested for using on it. So now i can have one or two battery charges on a day. The charge otherwise is very fast, in one hour it is
fully charged. I've liked a lot of the tip for the touchpal keyboard that i 've read on the forum, so i 've entered here to add my
experience and ask other questions too.
I've installed the sim card on it, the quality of the call is good, the microphone is very good but the sound of the speaker is a
little ugly. The contacts for the call, the volume button and the keyboard on the call, i've liked. The SMS app is beautiful and work well.
The 3g works well (I had to add the APN from my pstn country) but drain a lot of battery, so i turn on the 3g, do what i have to do, and turn
it off (And turn battery economy on again).
It has some apps that came with it like a file manager (Simple but works), video player (Plays the normal mobile codec videos, fits
well but do not play external .srt subtitles) and the Music player (Simple but works well, even in background).
Using it paired with the phone was not a good experience, it is better standalone, more like a mobile phone watch.
Android apps that i am using:
Mobizen Mirroring - Can control the watch on the windows desktop screen, it worked very good, you can see the watch screen and control it.
Youtube : The clock give you 2 options to handle android third apps, you can use it in square screen (Becomes small to see, but you
have the full view and full control of the app) or you can use it like a Rounded view (That is the default, the problem is that you can lose
some parts of the view). The problem with this app is that on full screen, the video play on the wrong side of the screen.
Netflix: using the square view , it is usable, but like the youtube, it plays on the wrong side of the view. If you take the watch off
of the pulse, the video becomes good to see (But obviously very small).
Touchpal: Tip from someone on this forum, the keyboard becomes much larger so you can type better on the small screen, until now i
couldn't see any unnecessary battery drain.
Whatstablet: That app is like a whatsapp web, because i want to see the whatszap on the watch only once in a while, i didn't want to
have the original whatsapp installed on it because of the battery drain, so i've installed my original whatsapp on a old mobile (With a
battery problem) so it stays at home in the internet all the time, and i use this whatstablet app on the watch, that is like a whatsappweb
for mobile that could fit on the watch (Very small but usable), using the square view only. This app i am using just for the moment, i am
trying to find something that fits better using the Rounded view.
Games i've installed that was very good : Make 7 and Sonic Dash. It is playable. Not every android game works on this watch, a lot
of then, are opened on the wrong side of the screen, or do not open at all.
Issue after updating firmware Lemfo LES1
I just finished updating the firmware of my Lemfo LES1 (051517) and everythings seemed to have worked out OK.
I can see the new firmware version in About Watch. I can also see the new "clockskin" folder added when checking under File Manager, but when I connect the watch via USB to my laptop, I can't see that folder; all the other folders listed in File Manager, are visible in the indows File Explorer. Any idea as of why this is happening and how to fix?

This is a known issue, wrong folder permissions.
You should copy the files in a different folder, then move them with the file manager on the watch

Hi,
My phone is the 2gb variant. i know 2gb is not much these days, but every couple of apps i run, one restarts when i try to go back in. I have removed those apps from the protected list and i'm on the power plan that doenst help with battery usage, yet they restart. I have the 4.4. B160 version of emui.
For example, i run one app, lets say facebook ( i know its a ****ty app, just an example) and its all good.
Then i run Messenger (same, just an example)
Then i go back to Facebook --- Boom--- restart app instead of saving in memory
Any help?

EMUI is known not be good at RAM management i have the 3gb model and i can loose up to 200-300MB of ram sometimes.
If you have the proper knowledge, you might want to try out Cyanogenmod. It handles RAM much better.
Anybody knows if this problem persists on EMUI Nouga? I think it does. And I hope OTA official Nougat fixes it.. because the ram management is sooo broken
