Is there nyway of managing my RAM as it constatnly seems to show only 10M free, but there is nothing that I can see as running. Is there anyway of freeing up RAM on this thing?
Also curious as to just where my 23.7mb of ram after soft reset disappears to. After a few hours in my pocket I only have 19. Not a great loss I know, but where does it go? Active sync is scheduled to manual so that isn,t it.
I have deleted all /lnk in startup folder except those I deem essential. Even deleted the o2c.lnk. I also have set Activesync to manual, and have no running programs and no connections active or Wifi/Bluetooth active, yet am still left with on average 10-14M free out of 48M ?? What can be taking up over 30M of RAM ??
I haveused a few registry tweaks (cache increase etc.) and have OmapClock to up my CPU and although my PDA is alot faster, I would still love to know what background proggies could be sapping this much RAM.
A question to ask is does it actually matter?
Sure I would like to know as well as my Orbit is also sitting around 10mb. However, this does not seem to affect performance or stop anything running. Has the OS just cached previously run applications to make launching faster, hence the memory is only released when actually needed?

I also have a similar problem.
After sof reset my Orbit shows around 22Mb Program memory.
This then slowly decreases even down to 2Mb.
A soft reset brings it back to 22Mb.
I have also tried SKtools to FreeUp RAM, but this ususally only releases a couple of MB.
Any idea anyone ?

it does exactly what it says:
if a file been deleted by accident or you decided to keep some photo you took but after deleting it ... with this app you will be able to simply restore it back.
tested it on my HOX, my wifes' SGS1, and it works just great !
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmJhbG9vdGEuZHVtcHN0ZXIiXQ..
give it a go, its a mandatory application on every android device !
But does it have a black hole like on PC? Once I had 100 GB hard disk and I had around 300 GB with **** in recycler bin. Does it work here too?

haven't noticed any additional directories on the storage after deleting some files... so i think that the "black hole" is not present here.

Windows doesn't delete any files it just makes the space the data is store as "writable" and all "writable" space is shown as "free space" in windows even if there is actually data stored there, the reason behind you being able to recover files after they have been deleted.
Also you can't have a 100 GB disk and "around 300 GB" of data stored in writable space just can't happen, unless you mean 1000 GB..... and even still that 300 GB of "****" would be classed as writable so the operating system will just write over it when that time comes.
-Hello guys,today im gona share this app wich name is Auto Killer Memory Optimizer,i have been using it for last weeks and i see that it works.

-AutoKiller Memory Optimizer boosts your device and defends your battery at the same time!
Forget task killers! AutoKiller Memory Optimizer is not a regular task manager, it is an award winner memory (minfree) tweaker, it fine tunes android systems inner memory manager to keep your device fast over time. As a side effect it also lowers battery consumption. Also includes a manual process/service manager.
- ROOT REQUIRED to set minfree values, unrooted devices will only have an emulation of this feature.
-I really recommend to you to buy the pro key.
-Lets see how to use :
-Attachment 1
-Check how much ram i have free with the system default minfree settings
-Around 98MB >> Now go to change and click wich one suites you,in my case is the ultimate (Check attachment 2)
Now you will see how your ram free increases,jst check mine,now with ultimate selected i got around 120MB ram free instanly (Check attachment 3)
So guys,try it ,and post your opinions about the app,and dont forget to thanks
If u like the app buy pro key it really have cool features.
Link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&hl=es
I will test it, thank you! :good:
will test tomorrow...
thanks..
Hi,
I don't know if anyone is still using one of these pieces of ****, but I can't afford anything new (if you are still using it as your main device too, I pity you :highfive.
I'm using FXP latest CM10 ROM, and it has worked okay for me for the last year. The problem is that since a couple of months my phone often acts like it's even ****tier than it actually is, by taking 5 seconds to react on anything and filling up the RAM until it runs out of memory and soft reboots. This happens twice a day under normal use.
Is this normal, or are the internals fried? I haven't overclocked it that frequently, but I've used it a lot the last 3 years.
Also is this true? I suspect that the useless Android memory management kicks Greenify out of the memory, then proceeds filling up the RAM with the stupid background services every app thinks it needs nowadays until the phone runs out of memory and (soft) reboots.
Other stuff that might be relevant:
I'm using Greenify and put everything in it that syncs except for a few apps.
Using Nova Launcher, no widgets
About 80MB free RAM after a reboot. I don't get how people can have like 150MB free if they actually use their phone.
No other scripts or non-stock-CM tweaks used

Start out by trying other firmwares, stock ones for example.

I'm not going back to 4.0 like a peasant. And I had soft reboots there too under heavy usage. Shouldn't FXP CM10 be the most stable custom ROM (I'm using 2.4 kernel)
Hi,
I would like to know if installing a custom ROM will allow me more apps that I use in memory. For the time being, the stock Nexus 5X system and Google specific apps take quite a lot of this device RAM (1.1 - 1.2 GB).
View attachment 4160763
For example, the Google App, which I don't use, constantly eat 100+ MB of RAM.
So, how is/was your ram usage with a custom ROM ? Can I disable/uninstall the Google specific apps in a custom ROM (e.g. Cyanogenmod ) ?
Regards
Usage on Lineage OS without those google apps like (google now, google music....)
As you can see there isn't much difference.

i have experienced similar problems & my device has less RAM than yours. Flashing can be a tricky affair. Do you have root access? Before you jump in see if you can determine which apps are running in the background unnecessarily & kill them. Despite what some folks say, a good task manager can help even if only to discover what's running & how much memory they are consuming.

Indeed, there is not much of a difference .
The lack of the Google App gives you an additional of 100 MB of RAM.
Thank you very much!
I noticed that no matter how ram a phone claims to have it somehow always using around half of it sometimes more other times less...is there any point to having more RAM?

Unused RAM is wasted RAM
The OS will cache things in memory that are commonly used to allow them to load faster and it will dump them if ram is needed for something else.
Thr point og having 12 GB id to have a wide marging for appd to operate without hiccups, the whole ram in the top line devices will hardly be used in full all the time, wich happened commonly in little ram devices time ago

got it.. I thought my ram was being wasted by being used up when I have all my apps closed
Having half of 12GB available is still way better than having half of 3GB available...
Closing apps then opening them again is less battery friendly than letting apps stay in memory, plus it's faster and you can resume from where you left it.
