Insufficient Memory Problem (Just rooted)

Hello, I am a total noob and could not find a similar problem listed. I just rooted mt3g slide and can't install more apps due to insufficient memory. Seems I have 416mb dedicated to ram and very little left for use to install apps. I moved as many apps as I could to the sd card yet the amount of space I have is really low. I am running CM6.1. Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

Are you using DarkTremor's apps2ext or Froyo's built in apps to sd feature?

I'm using the built in feature of froyo. I don't have any issues moving the apps just not enough room to install new ones.

Open termnial emulator and type the following as it appears:
su
df
And paste the output here. It should show the sizes of your different partitions, although if you are still s-on these should be normal. Try clearing your app caches and stuff, how many apps do you have installed anyway?

There are 57 apps in the app drawer and a total of 110 (system apps included) apps. I attached the SS requested.

That shouldn't give you low space, but it could I suppose. You have 148 mb for memory, I have 320 or something, since I repartitioned my phone. Since you have less than half the space I do, and I have 159 app elements, (77 user apps). That gives me about 80 mb of free space. I suggest you hop over to this thread to repartition your phone. If you are running cm6 or cm7, just follow the 140mb system 1.5 mb cache scheme, it gives you BOATLOADS of room for user apps, as you can probably gather by the fact that I have 77 user apps.

Thanks. This worked out really well. Have CM7 RC1 running with tons of space. Did have to play around with the cache setting - I'm using 140mb system 20mb cache. Thanks again!

lowmemkiller app

Stock 4.0.4
guys
i was reading on lowmemkiller - is this an app or setting that's present in the factory default android system or an app that needs to be installed? I don't want to do anything funky but simply make sure memory is available at all times
thx

Android already handles RAM and makes sure the appropriate apps are kept or killed. You'll have enough RAM don't worry.

Yes but don't know if it's handling it optimally - even after a reboot, apps aren't as responsive as a factory default phone without apps and I've only installed 12 commonly used apps (none of them are sync apps like facebook, etc)

It does handle it optimally. How are apps not responsive?

Search in the android development section for a V6 Supercharger Script, it has all u're looking for, there u'll read what's it all about
Edit: there u go

Yes lowmemkiller is tweakable if you install an app to change the default ram levels for android. Auto memory or something is one of the apps.

Greenify!

No more envy of your friends' iPhone which never become slow and battery hungry after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your Android device can also run almost as smooth and lasting as the first day you have it!
Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground. Like what iOS apps act!
The built-in App Analyzer will analyze and show apps in your device that keep running persistent services and those launch itself automatically on a regular basis (when network connectivity changes, or every time you unlock your device, install / uninstall / update your apps, etc).
ROOT is required. If you are experiencing hibernation issue, this may be caused by your root management app (e.g. "SuperUser"), please try installing "SuperSU" instead.
here is the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify ( you can download it from attachments too !! )
There is also a donate version which lets you put system apps for hibernating as well!
Here's the link for that..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify.pro
Give it a try people and don't forget to thank the owner and me if I have helped..
OP I have removed the apk because the developer only wants it to be downloaded from the playstore (yours was the old version anyway). Here's the link Please don't do that again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737

Cool app! Missed this one until now. I'm wondering if there any advantages/disadvantages to "Greenifying" apps compared with "Freezing" apps with Titanium Backup. It seems that Titanium's freezing requires more work on the user's part. Their widget that freezes/unfreezes and launches and app is very similar. The difference is that I have to manually REFREEZE the app when done. Is this correct? If so, this is a wonderful app. Still testing...just installed. THANK YOU!

You are correct! I used to use titanium b/u pro.. But like u say, it requires much user attention and input. I much prefer greenify, and I seem to get better battery life with it too (likely because of the automation, thus less screen-on time = better batt life). Not sure if it gives better performance, cause I don't push my phone very much, and it was already fast as hell with tbp.. I'm running soa b4 right now, previously jmt6 worked great with both. Hope this helps

Update: just from modifying my greenify list a bit and switching to interactive governor, am now getting 5-6 hrs screen on time.

I don't know if I'm seeing much difference with this app. I have been using it for some time already, but most of my battery hogging apps (according to the greenify app) are messaging apps, tapatalk, etc that needs to notify me when it needs to. If I greenify these, I won't get any notification from them, right? Is this correct?
If so, then i'm not sure if will see much difference in battery life anyway..

I get a full 12 hour day with 20%+ left by 10pm

What the*#*# LOW memory issue with avail Ram vs total ram??

After closing out 29 apps with ram manager, im yielding 1.05gb out of 1.78gb total,
Im literally watching the 1.05 fluctuate to 1.06 1.10 .1.12 back to 1.05
This phone I mean is it that much more packed with system apps/data vs where I remember every other s3 and note 2 I owned had like 650-750mb used out of a total 1.78 available even after closing all apps and clearing ram.
And that was even with BLOATWARE.
I bring this up cause im getting a Low Memory notification out of nowhere?!

low memory as in RAM or low memory as in storage.
if its storage im having the same problem.
If its RAM, use something like rom toolboxes task manager to see whats running. im only using between 700-800 mb of ram, without clearing it

first off... android was designed to use Memory in much the same way linux does, (memory that isnt being used is wasted memory). Task killers actually cause more harm then good... they send a SIGKILL instead of SIGTERM. Its along the same lines as shutting your computer down every day vs just yanking the power cord out...

My only guess in regards to the warning would be a malicious [side-loaded] app trying to run an exploit... or killing running processes constantly has caused a memory leak somewhere via corrupted database/config file... or there is a bug somewhere if you are running a custom rom.
Just let the system handle your memory... it was designed [from the ground up] to be incredibly good at this.

Low memory has nothing to do with how large or small the rom is or how many apps you have in the system/app folder.
Think of memory like this, a computer can have as little as 2GB of memory modules, but people want faster
computers with a lot more RAM in the memory modules which plug into the computers motherboards.
That's why a lot of people have 8 or even 16GB of memory inside their computers to make them faster.
When your talking about how many apps there are, or how large or how many megabytes a rom takes
up in space you are not thinking of it in the proper terms, think of it as "hard drive space".
If you get a larger hard drive you will have more free space for applications, games, music, videos & a lot of other things.
Bloatware also takes up space on the sdcards just like it would on a hard drive, but none of these things use any more or
less of the available memory in your phone. (RAM)
None of these things have anything to do with your low memory notifications, there is a notification in the phone
which notifies you if your low on space on your internal and external sdcards (they are like solid state hard drives).
If you are getting low memory notifications from no where, it must be some rogue apps or
app that you installed which is misbehaving and or is not 100% compatible with your phone.

I found out Why I had lowmem
Went to file manager and checked storage space...
My twrp backups were taking up 5.86gigs of internal ya Thats a Crap ton of spce to use up on nandroids ...I think its cause all my backups had backed up /system

For future reference (after hearing your fix/reply)... you were running out of storage space (where user accessible data goes), not memory (RAM).
if you keep calling the storage space memory, your gonna keep confusing the hell out of everyone.

Didn't feel any different changes Enable/Disable System/User Apps!

Does any body have Advance experience of debloating Apps in A705F/Ds! Any one can point me to help !
Cause'
I do not much see any different in 1 week after Enable /Disable system/user apps in my device(8/128) gb operating with CCSWE App Manager Pro.
Still High 3gb Ram Usage per system vs apps in system start up!
I've just daily usage as (Fb, Messenger,What' App, Chrome, IDM, PUBg,Asphalt-9). Hell_No. !!
#No_Root #Smoothness_Ui_Experience #

RAM is there to be used! No need to free it, what's the point of it? The more apps are loaded in RAM, the faster they start. You have 6 GB of RAM, and only 3 GB in use, that is good
This is an interesting article about how memory works on Android: https://www.androidtipsandhacks.com...ndroid-and-why-you-shouldnt-most-of-the-time/
Bloatware or unwanted software can be removed, disabled or, when rooted, removed. But that has little to do with RAM. Disabling apps won't appear in app drawer, and removing them will free (a little) storage space.

Yeah,As a result of Disabling total 156/336 apps is almost same result as while it' not . Still got laggy in while scolling in Fb, Asphalt 9 . For 8gb Ram devices ' is it alittle way too much?Nothing Different !
CCSWE App manager is too strong but it can't help me out in no root state.

Disable animations in developers settings.
Reduce motion in settings
Install greenify and use it in non root mode.
We have sd675 and it will have its limits.
As for Facebook lag, disable video autoplay and clear cache

I followed the Galaxy S10/9 guides on disabling via ADB to get rid of things like Bixby and other Samsung bloatware. Never had an issue with RAM but I like the idea of fewer icons in the app drawer, fewer notifications and fewer apps with potential to run in the background or eat up my data allowance for no reason. I have to say that this method along with using AdGuard DNS has pretty much done away with my usual desire to root.
