Hey, I just rooted, s-offed and whatsovered my desire hd and flashed android revolution hd rom. earlier on stock rom I was using advanced task killer which gave me the feeling after killing all processes to save battery. but i never really checked it. and task killer showed me about 15 apps running again, 1 second after I killed ALL apps. so is this really senseful or not?
The only task killer worth using is autokiller now you have root. But, personally, i find the DHD has enough ram (768mb) not to need one at all.
Android internal task killer seems to cope fine. =)

Hye guys,
Got a question is there any way possible to free up some system allocated ram for using intens apps (or for running ubuntu). I know it was possible on certain devices but havent really seen anything for a sense rom.
I'm currently running the mytouch rom. It's very fast for a sense rom. Unbelieveble fast even. Its just you can notice that sense requires so much more ram than say CM7 without sense.
I want to keep all the sense features, but just free up some ram.
Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers
Use a ram cleaner script. It deletes lots of system data to free up more ram on ur phone. Heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16244178&postcount=2184

Guys.... I love multitasking and love memory available so ...
I was looking into ram manager app and suddenly came over this app named SWAPit.. It's supposed to expand ram by making a swap file. Any opinions? Or other suggestions?

Did you dowload it??
Maybe you could give opinions so we all can learn...and not download if it's ****e
Since setcpu and juice defender fall into placebo apps category, me thinks this falls into the same category as solar charger.

I don't think this will improve performance. Usual Linux based OS use a swap partition. You can use one in Android too, but no devs recommends it. So i think devs don't recommend to use swap, because it doesn't improve performance.
Yes, swap partition will "extend" the RAM but the truth is Android has its own mechanim to manage apps, so if you're low on RAM, instead of killing an old app you'll slow your system as it will use the swap partition (or file) which is much slower than RAM.
So, let Android do its job !
I will give it a try and report back.

Does exiting apps via the task manager free phone memory?
If not, is it recommended to install an app that accomplishes this?

You can use the built in task manager to kill problem apps and to free phone memory. DO NOT download any other task manager or app killer from the market. They mess with the OS, decrease battery life and will cause your phone to become unstable.
Besides, the OneX has plenty of memory. Unless you are a hardcore gamer there is no real reason why you would need to free up more memory.
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks, bro!

Hello Guys is it good to use Advanced task killer on stock rooted rom XXLMI? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Thanks

I use it for killing unused apps freeing my RAM.
Especially the One Button Task Kill is a good thing that comes with it.
It doesn't kill your Launcher, but then if you're dependant on music using DSPManager its a good idea to exclude DSPManager in the list.
A very handy app and its my first choice task killer.
i did used that app for awhile but not quite satisfied with it since after i click the clear memory button the running program that hv been cleared will run again after sometime.so its hard for me when i played games(mayb i didnt know how to use it correctly.lol) a lil out of topic,if i may sugget mayb u can try autokiller memory optimizer apps since it also come with some tweaks, and it has a setting configuring how many hidden apps,empty app can be run.it also hv the same one clik memory reclaim.im still using it till now.
Thanks guys

how to control running background app to free more RAM on my Arc ?
i used task killer, but apps return to open again and used Autostart to limit the starting apps with system starting, but RAM is consumed by the apps running in the background.
lagging is the meaning of my ARC now.
it's very very annoying .. any help here ?!
Rom : Xperia Ultimate HD™ 2.0.3
kernel : LuPuSv9
the free RAM range always bet. 40 ~ 130
Seems normal for me. I had to disable apps i didn't really use that were using any ram =/
maybe try this script? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928200
Go to settings - programs - all
Tap the ones you dont need and disable
Task killers waste more energy and make your phone even more laggy because you keep clearing processes from the RAM. I could explain all that but it'd take some time which I dont have now -
So I'll just say that free RAM is wasted RAM. Task killers are stupid, something else is causing the lag.

OK. i feel the lag obviously when closing recently using apps.
it may take more time in opening an app after recently closing another One.
