2 free Market apps that really do the job:
MemoryBar Simple - Small status bar icon displaying free memory at 1 second intervals with seemingly no adverse effect on resources.
FMR Memory Cleaner - Wow, frees up memory like I have never seen. I was hovering around 100mb free, I used Fast Reboot Pro (up till now my go to memory free-up app) which freed up 70mb, which gave 170mb free, then tried FMR.. which resulted in 217mb free! Mind you, it did drop immediately to around 200, but the fact it frees up that much speaks for itself.
Seriously stellar apps.
Let me know how they work for you. Tips welcome. At least click "thanks".
Peace
Fab
They both work great!
I had to do a double take. I can't believe how much memory FMR shakes out.
I especially like MemoryBar! I though I had a good memory widget, but MemoryBar takes up very little real estate, and on the status bar at that. If you remove the background on it, it looks even better. Plus being able to have 1 second intervals with seemingly no impact on resources, makes it perfect for being able to know what is causing memory spikes and make sure my memory management apps actually do what they claim.
Thanks a tonne.

No problem. Ya i like deselecting the background on MemoryBar too. The background is kinda useless as it makes it harder to read anyways.
Thanks for the feedback.
anybody has a link to FMR apk? I can't find it in the market...Thanks
Use FMR on many roms now and before it's a great app indeed.

And thanks for the feedback.
The only problem is FMR doesnt show up in the Market when using MIUI ROMs.
That's ok with me though. I don't mind just sticking to the other awesome ICS ROMs so long as I get that much memory freed up.
Took me from 70 to 220, dropped down to 155 by the time I wrote this message. Love the monitoring app.

Nice! Samsung just gave us a new free game! Sadly, it's another racing game. But judging from a quick ride, at least it's not bad.
Go and grab it while it's there! Maybe it was released for free by accident? Someone already made a video:
Faaaarrrrr better optimised than Gameloft's Asphalt bull****, very fun game

Just open Samsung Apps in the menu and check the list, had to scroll down to the last item.
yeah i found that out this morning when i woke up
installed it during breakfast
for a full list of freebies samsung apps check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
Installed and played it a little bit. Looks much smoother then asphalt. Graphics are not so incredible but this game makes a lot of fun. Like it that they offer some free games like this one and asphalt on samsung appstore. Hope to see more in future there.

Asphalt 5 (free) is not as good as Asphalt 5 HD (paid)
the HD version is much much much better, and it offers head to head online play

Same! I'm pretty sure it's cause of our firmware. I wanna know if we can fool samsung apps to giving us the rest of the apps... I've tried modifying build.prop etc but nothings helped so far. maybe we just need to install an older version of the app store?
A nice surprise. I'm loving it.

Umm which part exactly? We'd really appreciate knowing
I'm not experienced here, and I tried modifying some parts of build.prop to reflect a 2.1 build.prop and got stuck in a boot loop! Fortunately I had a backup build.prop and used adb push to fix it xD.
Otherwise, someone dump and share the apk please?
I've looked all over the market & I can't find a decent full screen red live wallpaper that don't hog up all of my memory.
Does anyone here kno how to make one or any other ideas???

New google music .apk out if you'd like to try it early. And I know you do
Uninstall old GM prior to install.
Also, if you have trouble syncing with your online music try clearing app data, or just uninstall and reinstall and that seems to clear up that issue.
Looks sick. Thanks man.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got the new version installed, it's mostly a nice graphic update. One thing I did notice is that the "make available offline" option is no longer included, which kind of sucks.
Also, I was hoping that there would be some work done on the Music widget, which is frankly pretty lame. Unfortunately the widget looks exactly the same.

I recently bought a 32 GB micro SD chip. Makes this a little unneeded. Checked it out any way. Didn't really notice a difference other than the UI looking a little different.

Version? Source?
What version is this? And where did you get it? I'm currently running 3.0.1.399. Is this different than the 4.0.1 ICS build that was leaked recently? I a curious why the file is named "Music2" (as opposed to 3/4). I'm extremely weary of installing something like this on my device.

Is anybody else having a problem with album art? I'm using 500x500 or better images but the now playing screen looks like a 50x50 thumbnail stretched. Love the new setup though, landscape mode looks SO much better.
I wasn't able to screenshot the browser using 70% of the cpu but anyways you may wonder what was I doing. How do you get your browser to use roughly half of the cpu? Well first you start off by closing 5 of the 7 tabs you have open. Now what's so special about the two tabs that I have open? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I refuse to believe that browsing PhoneArena and a paused YouTube video will cause this. Anyways, just wanted to share and show others they aren't the only ones out there who has this problem...if they have this problem...

I'm pretty sure there's a memory leak somewhere either in either the OS or the UI since I've been able to do the same with the Facebook app and Andoku II.
Hello guys, so finally i got the Galaxy s6 edge and i love it. awhile ago i have developed an application which is similar to Toolbox by samsung, but with Fast Access you can add infinite apps and apply themes and more advanced options, i have just yesterday released a Demo version of the application and added Mini-Size for the icons to use it within the edge of the screen, and its best if you use it with the Screen Edges option which will keep Fast Access always on one of the edges sides. you could give it try and help me improve it more on the edge.
Demo version: Fast Access Demo
PRO version Fast Access (Floating Toolbox)
please any suggestions or feedbacks will be really appreciated..
