I noticed my incredible has become increasingly slow, so I decided to uninstall some apps. Before uninstalling anything, I went in to see how much available space I had. After uninstalling about 10-15 apps, my available space had not increased at all. I thought maybe it was being reported incorrectly for some reason, so I rebooted and the number did not change.
What could be causing this?

I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.

I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.
Forgot to say I have a Galaxy S with CM 10.1
For me most of these issues go away once I set limit of background processes to 2. Even application install doesn't hand phone as before. OC also helps I guess.
My phone will eventually slow down to a crawl by the end of the day. Only fix so far seems to restart the phone. I'm on stock with the latest firmware.
I used Greenify to block some apps from automatically starting but still having issues
Settings --> Applications Manager
This should then show the running applications that are slowing down your device. You may also try clearing your RAM memory too.
I've been noticing some slight lag in unlocking, the screen coming on, etc on my new Note 4 from time to time. I've found that going in the app switcher thing and clearing all remedies the issue for a bit.
I was curious recently and looked at the RAM usage in that screen and was surprised to see that ~2.1GB of RAM was being used, even after clearing all recent apps.
Is it normal for the thing to be using over 2GB of RAM at all times? This seems very strange to me.
Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure its normal because mine is also using 2GB after clearing all. After a reboot, it dropped to 1.6GB before manually launching any application. I'm pretty sure Android is designed this way.
The way android is made and runs, it uses almost all RAM at all times... Basically "unused RAM is wasted RAM." All of our phones have run this way since the time of I'm.
Now, with respect to lag, that's all the bloatware forcing itself to be the main process or close to it. Only way is to fully delete (not only disable) all of them and their underlying processes.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Just waiting on root, then bloatware will be gone.

Well said..
Only time I have lag on the lockscreen is with a sub par sd card. Once I got rid of that junker the lag went away. Try removing your SD card and see if that fixes the lag.
Hi to everyone. I'm comming from OnePlus 5t and I don't have any experience with "Ram boost" that we have on Oneplus 7t (Settings/System)... Also I didn't find many explanations by searching (neither here on XDA nor at Google search).
So basically, how it work and is there any benefit except gaming, (and I don't use mobile for gaiming) in real life?
I can't recall is it On or Off by default?
And last but not least, how it's effect battery life?
Thank you.
From what I read, it works like windows superfetch.
When ram usage is not taxed, it will fill the free ram with apps it knows you use frequently. Presumably as with windows, it keeps them in an off state, but when you open the app, it doesn't need to load it in to ram from flash storage, so it can load much much quicker.
There won't be any battery drain.
When ram usage is needed by say a game, it'll kick these auto cached apps out.
I've been using the OP7T for close to a month. I've experienced lag while using various apps, and especially when switching between apps. Occasionally the system becomes temporarily unresponsive, and a handful of apps have crashed multiple times. My previous OP3 phone rarely lagged, even if I had tens of apps open. I've been using the RAM booster on the 7T, but today I spent some time removing and freezing apps that were consuming tens of MB of memory in the background.
personally I didn't had any glitch or lag... I didn't saw any different.
But I don't recall is it turned on or off by default.
Anyway thank you both for comments and making it more clear to.
Everyday at least 1-2 times a day system UI stop working and crashes, any ideas on why, and how to fix?
Check for memory leaks.
Clear system cache.
Probably a 3rd party app causing this... look for high memory or battery usage.
Any changes made before this started?
Try uninstalling updated system apps to factory load.
Try safe mode until it crashes or doesn't.
If it doesn't crash it's a 3rd party app.
Malware is another possibility.
Try a factory reset, the see if crashes on base load, if not then be careful what you install.
If new and doing it since bought consider returning it, not normal operation ie unstable.
