Can anyone recommend a good system memory cleaner.
you dont need one. phone runs better when you actually dont mess with running apps and memory apps. froyo does it all!

i use cachemate, and my system definitely runs better with it on...
I never meant a task killer. I just wanted something to clear out my cahce so they don't pile up. I'm well aware that apps / task shouldn't be killed in Froyo 2.2
Just like mino said, cachemate... Root, then run it.. Works great..

Honestly Cache Cleaner is a lot better than Cache Mate, just my opinion. Everyone has their own preference though, try both and see which one you like best.

I like cachemate because it can be scheduled to run, whereas cache cleaner did not have that option before (it might now, but i have not used it in a while). I also think cachemate has more options than cache cleaner for clearing caches. but again, it's been a while since I tried the other.

I'm rooted with unrevoked 3 and I want to remove the root so I can install the ota update. So if I do a factory reset will I be good to go? Also what is the best app to backup all of my apps and settings? Musy be a simple one because I'm clueless wirh this stuff. Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no, a hard reset will not. a reset only wipes userdata and cache and a few other things. why would you want an ota update???? just downlaod one of the roms our talented devs have created for you (most have the newest ota) and flash.
I would but I have no idea how to flash roms and backup and all of that. I don't even know how to find the roms. Or understand the terminology. And why wouldn't I want the ota update are those good because they fix issues and improve stuff?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
ok, it seems this might be a little more complicated than a 2 sentence answer...
you wouldnt want an ota, not because it is not better than its predecessor, but because it is just what htc put in, and as you know, there is alot of stuff htc is not capable of, not willing to, or not creative enough to put in. that is why you would want a custom rom.
a rom is the Read Only Memory of the phone. it is the stuff that tells it what to do when something happens. it is everything you see and do when the phone is booted up, as well as while it is booting. if your phone is rooted, you can do whatever the hell you want to do with it.
the talented devs at xda (including me minus the talent) have made custom roms based off the ota's. most have little add ons and tweaks. some of the more in-depth ones have bigger changes, or even complete ui changes. these devs have packadged them in update.zip scripts, so that they will easily install on your phone. they can be found in the android dev section (in the evo forum)
before flashing a zip (installing a rom through a script) you will need to wipe everything, so it is reccomended to use the titanium backup app to backup all your apps, as well as the data in the apps.
any more questions? shoot

Thanks I've been researching for the past 3 hours and I've backed up with rom manager and titanium backup and I think I am ready to install my first rom. I'm looking for a completly stable rom with vanilla 2.2 that will let me use everything that I can use on stock like 4g,market, and everything else. Thanks again
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
as vanilla, do you mean the lockscreen??? if you do, easy fix. if you mean stock android stuff, you will have a hard time finding 4g there... i am always willing to help. as an extremely stable rom, i reccomend fresh. very stable and looooooong battery
Well not just the lock screen. I just want stock android with no UI at all. And I want everything to work. Thanks for helping me btw
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure there are no AOSP roms that have everything working, specifically 4G. I think there might be a couple Sense roms that have sense pretty stripped out that look and feel like AOSP, just dig around the development section.
If it's just the UI you care about, you can always install ADW or LauncherPro and make it look like AOSP. That way you have everything working and you get to keep some of Sense's finer parts, like the smart dialer (the AOSP dialer sucks!).
Ok.I'm thinking about trying the fresh rom is there anything that doesn't work with that? Does 4g work? Anything I should know about it? Lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think dude used the word vanilla as an adjective for plain HTC sense 2.2 and not AOSP.
Fresh is awesome. I have been using it for a while and just updated to the latest one today. It's a sense ROM, so everything works. The dock looks a little different compared to stock but that's it.
Alright cool. Because I'm getting horrible battery life even with having the processor underclocked. As soon as I take it off the charger it drops from 100% to 85% within 10 minutes of no use lol. Also wil titanuim backup work with fresh? Like can I restore e erything with no problems?

Titanium should work with any ROM.
FYI, the paid version will allow you to do a one click batch restore of all apps and data.
Yeah I have the paid ver. But what's the point of switching if the only differnce is the dock. Is the battery life THAT much better?

That's not the only difference, it's the only major VISUAL difference. Most of the other stuff is under the hood. I don't know what kind of battery life you've been getting but with Fresh and king's #11cfs kernel I get great battery life. I put a fresh battery in at 7 this morning and I still have 45%. I was streaming pandora and MeCanto for a couple hours, made a few phone calls, 20 or so texts, and maybe an hour of internet browsing.
Oh I forgot about kernals. How do I install a kernel? Do I have to install a kernal? What is a kernel? Lol

Yes it does......................it drains your battery quicker!
How much memory is left is not = to how fast it runs. CM 6 also only has wimax in alpha, has no hdmi. It doesn't have sense. So of course it has more memory left.
as others have said the memory you are looking at is phone storage this is not the RAM type memory on a computer and it has no affect on your speed. The biggest reason for the difference is the lack of sense and htc widgets/apps. you can get similar memory amounts (though never as much) by removing rosie and htc widgets/bloatware from sense based roms.
CM can run faster then sense in many cases but the method you indicate is not a valid way to compare or tell that it is.

in short, in 2.2 and above, you kill a task, android restarts it. nuff said. wasting cpu cycles and battery suffers from it
Ok ya that makes sense thanks. What about on other roms like cm or miui? Are they useless there too?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
From what I know anything based on 2.2+ has app management built in so task killers are worthless. So pretty much any of those roms. Don't worry about using it.

My method is not scientific... I have ~ 200 photos on my sd card. I've tryd warm 2.2/ and miks... miks was faster loading photos than warm.
I went to cm6/// then 7 nightlys. The photos load 4x faster. In fairness I loaded CM6 gallery (availble on market) into miks and there was no difference in speed CM is hands down... faster IMHO
I use a start up manager it keeps apps from starting up in the first place. After that a app killer really isn't necessary. I still keep one installed just encase a app hangs for some reason. Yes I have read all the threads about app killers. Also a full hard drive will be slower than one that isn't. It's true that app killers don't really work that well but start up killers will.

What about the task killer in miui when u hold the home button? Is that bad too? Jw and i dont understand how they don't work bc when I first start my phone its slow but once i killed them its faster? I know u guys know better but just hard to beleive... Thanks btw

He's on the stock unrooted (and unrootable) rom. Backing up everything isn't really possible. His only option along those lines would be a hard reset with some data loss (of course most of the big things can be backed up or synced). If I were in that situation, I'd want to try other things first.
LiL xSOULJAx, it sounds like you're running low on memory. When you go into another app, it's killing the launcher, so it has to restart when you press the home button. If you're talking about this happening when you go into a game or something that probably does take a lot of memory itself, there's not much you can do. But if it happens with every app, even relatively simple ones, you should check under Applications -> Manage -> Running and see if there's anything running in the background that takes a lot of memory. If you see something hungry you can live without, try uninstalling it.
Thanks alot for the info ! Yes i do have google plus but im about to uninstall alot of apps and see if it helps , thanks again

Well now my issue is all over since they I rooted yesterday ! Its amazing how fun rooting is lol, the whole process is mindblowing !
Are you running a task killer? If you end up killing the calendar app that's running in the background, it will reboot sense like 50 percent of the time.

Hmm sounds like they removed the smooth scrolling cache tweak. You could try supercharging it. Or you could jump ship to Aokp31.. its basically the same deal as cm9b2 just more features. Its on the same framework 4.0.4... and it runs slick.. it has the option to force enable the smooth scrolling and it works like a charm. Sorry if suggesting another ROM isnt an option..
Yes I would prefer to stay on this one... this rom you mentioned is still on alpha right? I think i might try cleaning the cache in cwm not sure if that might help..

Aokp... its really on par with cm9 beta. They are very similar and just as stable. Aokp just has extra features.. that come with the ROM control. And no wiping cache in cwm is not what I ment. Scrolling cache is a different cache entirely .

If you would like you could just wipe cache and dalvik and flash right over it. However i suggest you wipe everything.. now that the play store restores your apps you've installed with it automatically thats the best option. I used to be really hesitant to do fresh installs.. but since the play store remembers what've previously installed and does it upon restore your google account its much easier and less room for error .
Interesting. I am actually having the same issue. It was not a problem on beta 1 but beta 2 for some reason is just awful for me. I may have to jump to AOKP. I really liked an earlier build I was using but it had some scrolling problems too. These are all smoothed out with Build 31 then?

I was reading through the threads over in the Samsung Galaxy S 3 forum today. I came across a very interesting thread about how to flash a new ROM and install all your apps in 10 mins. I will place a link to the thread below for everyone to have a read.
I was curious if anyone has tried this method? I would think this would be the perfect way to flash Nightlies if you use CM. Would save a lot of time. Almost seems too easy to be true.
Let me know your thoughts or experiences with this procedure. Thanks.

Yeah, I've done that in the past as well - I figured it was something along the lines of the Advanced Restore -> Restore Data. I'd only recommend it if you're flashing between two similarly based ROMs though.
It does work pretty well.

If you're going to restore your data right after flashing, why even wipe it in the first place? An even faster way is to just flash the rom with only wiping the caches.. To me it seems like it's the same thing.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Seems a little different. One's a dirty flash and you are just flashing a new ROM right over the old one. The other is doing a clean install of the newer ROM and then restoring data and settings. Like I said I haven't tried it myself. Read about it and was intrigued. Thanks for your response.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Restoring data is the same as not wiping... So why don't you just skip the wiping all together..
Theoretically you can just flash similar Roms without wiping but then you risk the chance of having bugs..
If you don't wipe then how can you ever be sure that it's the rom that is buggy or if it's caused by the data you restored..
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth
I've always done a clean install and wipe beforehand. Probably will still follow the same procedure. Thanks.
