Hi i found an app called auto killer memory which ive been running for a while. this app has worked wonders for my wilderbeast, its on fire. so ive been tampering alot with things but this seems to have stabalised my phone loads. presets i set to lost, enabled advance mode,apply at boot,ticked all system tweaks and of course when promted enabled super user. my phone is now running sweet and battery has improved too. i dont know if this makes any sense but i have noticed a difference. whoop whoop. am i over optimistic that this works the same as the v6 super charger/juwes ram optimiser ???
Ok I've ammended my settings within this app after doing some research And in memory values I'm now running at 6/10/16/100/120/160 to keep my phone running snappppppy. To explain the values in brief...... if free memory goes below 160mb my phone starts to kill empty apps etc etc as free memory goes below next value the phone starts to kill corresponding apps. Kind of makes sense to me now. Ok I know my settings makes the phone kill more frequently but its damn snappy now,and it can lower the oom settings by long pressing the app in processes section you wish to lower and choosing lower oom. Lowering the oom basically gives the app less chance of being killed.
Personally I haven't had a low memory situation since I rooted and installed cm7, the app your talking about I have installed after reading one of your other posts about it, I presume that it would work the same way as juwes after setting the low memory values, I don't use those settings with it though as I have juwes script installed, the other tweaks seem fine but again I think I had some of them covered from editing my build.prop (still have work to do on that though) and a few other little things, I can't knock this app though as it does seem to have made my battery last a bit longer since installing yesterday, I'd personally rather change the settings myself than have yet another app doing it for me but until I figure which setting seems to be helping my battery out I'll keep it installed.
A couple of other apps which might help you keep it smooth,
Autostarts- I swear by this app its one of my best buys from the market, why use a task killer when you can just stop the app starting in the first place??
Fast reboot pro- after time apps hold memory which they don't really need, hit this and it'll quickly reboot everything (unless you tell it to leave something alone) freeing up spare ram.

Cheers for info,really happy with this app at the moment.by the sounds of things its doing similar job to other script mods,which I can't get working cos of s - off issue. Posted this for s on users benefit. Hope it helps others.
Edit my settings. Read 1st post.

The only problems I see with having higher settings are if it closes something you use regular it'll be slower to open that app, I'd rather keep them set low and have apps open quickly.

I agree but this app lets you temporary lower the oom level for apps,so I just lower oom on most important. Long click on process or service and to lower.

Yep,long click app in service or process then choose to lower oom.it resets if you reboot so get your settings desired then leave by pressing home button.

Change the view from pages to mb and these are the values when it will start killing processes etc. Ie. When your memory gets to the amount your phone starts freeing up starting with the highest setting (empty apps)
Its all explained above,just that you have the pages view instead of mbs.
Quote " its healthy to have enemies, it means you've stood up for something you believe in "
ahh the pagesettings are the same as the MB ones?
i thought its two different things
thanks for the explanation!
btw. do you still use the same settings?
Yes to this day I still use this app even though I'm now s-off with the settings I posted,I will just double check and ammend if needed on 1st post.

I used to use that too and I felt some differance too but I think you have to open the program every boot. But some told me that it isn't just powerful as Supercharger so I deleted the optimiser and tried Supercharged and got a bootloop instead. I didn't get it to work but I believe that Supercharger is a better solution.

i tried supercharger and juuwes but had issues which i think were specific to me but one of the issues was bootlooping from supercharger as well as other things. im not saying one is better than the other but as you and myself had issues with one of the mods then its an alternative for others to use. i prefer this as you get to control the settings and mods yourself from the app. also this is available for s-on whilst the others i believe need s-off.

I got a boot loop from supercharger. I had to wipe my phone and start again from an RUU as all my previous backups became corrupted. Nightmare. TBH in the few days that it did work, i saw/felt no difference.
Using CM_7.1.0.1 probably wouldnt advise to use the supercharge, CM_7 minfree values are set to a pretty good level to keep things in order i think

I have tried supercharge script and does make phone smooth. Also Ive use ram manager new app and that too made phone smooth. But this app (Pro) is so far great. I tried out your settings for now to see if it suits me and had the app for an hour and the phone is very snappy and smooth (which is most important to me). I hope there is a slight battery improvement that many have said on the net but will test more and will leave feed back. A big thx m8!
no probs mate, like i said i have tried the lot and this one for me is really good and you get to be the controller lol.the only drawback i have noticed is that it takes a little longer for the phone to boot after a reboot but !!!!! im ok with that.
LMFAO looks like I didn't pay enough attention... I've used a lot of tweaks already to make my Willy faster, more snappy and stable but to be honest nothing gave it such a boost like that
BTW: are you still using the settings of the op?
Holy crap, I've read that really often here and elsewhere but it's the first it applies to myself: feels like a new phone

I see. I just have to sort things out now. Regarding the SD card read - I have it already done by sdbooster (@2048) - I'm at a point where I should make a documentation to stay on track and to avoid double tweaks lol.
I'm also very interested into scratch's build.prop lol (guess that would help to drop even more tweaks). Thx again - I've not forgotten about your tip re. AMO - just shifted it too far lol.

All hi tech games like asphalt,spiderman, avatar. cs portable, gta3 all play great. Videos do too. You can also add debug.composition.type=gpu to build prop and delete any other composition type that's in build prop to force gpu rendering for graphics

Thank you. Every one thinks it will break things. It is like saying I have a Land Rover with 4v4. Now, you're going up a hill and to run it up, you buy newer and better wheels. It still gets up, but slower. It would be a lot smarter to enable 4v4 so it can climb faster and more efficient. So GPU is supposed to run the Graphics Interface. Not the Processing Unit. Does it make sense? Of course not. Using GPU for its dedicated reason it is a way more reasonable thought. So why would you want it disabled?

I'm not sure why everyone is jumping on the OP so hard.. he stated clearly in the second or third post that it Works without breaking anything .. I flashed it on my AOKP JB build with no problems and it didn't break anything like the option in development settings does... for example .. xda app loads pictures perfectly.
Maybe test it next time before flaming give it a test...

Because you're probably not using any old apps that haven't been updated for ICS. Not jumping on the OP I'm simply stating this mod isn't needed because the GPU is already rendering everything. CPU will only render old apps so if you don't have any old apps then this mod is essentially useless. You're not forcing the GPU to do something it isn't already doing.

OK.. then riddle me this.. Using the option in development settings breaks my XDA and my FRF app, meaning they wont load pictures in the app.. However this mod has not caused this side effect..
RushAOZ said:
This mod isn't needed. The whole reason GPU rendering exists in ICS/JB is for apps that were written on GB. GB written apps didn't support GPU acceleration by default. With ICS and JB apps are written with GPU rendering on by default.
Basically these settings ONLY effect old apps that haven't been updated to ICS/GB. This is why disabling CPU rendering will break some apps as experienced by some of you above. GPU rendering is supposed.to force the GPU to render old apps and while it works most of the time there are apps that you can't force and you get errors and artifacts. So many misconceptions with this setting lol. Just leave it on. Problem solved.

According to pocket now force gpu rendering is basically used to off load the graphical tasks given to the CPU in apps that aren't optimized for ICS. ICS has this option enabled by default when writing apps for it but with apps written on GB down to cupcake 1.6, gpu rendering when writing apps is off by default.
Basically, leave it on as its probably helping your CPU run older unoptimized apps more efficiently since it doesn't have to process the graphical UI for that app too.

Its also pretty hilarious that you say this and are bending it to make your self correct..
YES newer applications that are based on the newer SDK have the ability to do this Nativity regardless of what you have checked or unchecked..
BUT it is not ONLY going to be beneficial for apps that are not.. it will force ALL rendering through your GPU and leaving the computation to the CPU giving your system an edge.. while be it a small one, but never the less an edge as far as CPU processing times and Graphics quality output ..

I saw this today as well not sure whether to try it. Isn't it the same or similar to what we can choose in developers options to force GPU rendering? Maybe will try later when I have time as I cant complain with the speed that I'm getting from nikez jb p0.9

Works on Mildwild 4.3. I don't have a launcher redraw anymore And it's not GPU rendering, it just removes the pathway to render on the CPU so the GPU does the graphics stuff

Basically everyone should be getting a placebo affect, i personally havent seen anyone provide evidence such as benchmarking surfaceflinger to prove the ui is smoother. The manufacturers by default select the gpu to render the ui which has a 0 1 on adreno200 and 0 0 on android thus its hw accelerated and not software accelerated
So what does that really do anyway ? Anyone notices really anything?
I don't trust benchmarks, they show incredibly inaccurate results (at least Antutu and Quadrant). Try run it twice on the same rom, one right next to another.
Well, no use from benchmark apps, but I tried it on MIUI rom with high resolution graphics settings for launcher. I definitely had lags issue with it without patch, especially with cube 3d screen transition effect. Now with it no lags at all, and I'm sure it's not a placebo.

I would say it works - somehow.
I use it on SpazeDogs ICS ROM and it gives a subjective performance boost - by feeling i wouldnt say that the FPS increased or something like that. But it feels smoother. Would call it "Project Butter light"

Lag...
I have read a lot on the lag seen in Android as compared to something like iOS specifically. There is lag and there will always be more lag seen in Android as apposed to iOS, due to how the OS was designed, and priorities of certain system functions. iOS gives full priority over any other process to the GUI functionality, which gives iOS a major smooth GUI (so what right??). Android gives priority to other processes, and the GUI falls near the end, I don't think it even gives a priority other than the standard Linux process priority, so the GUI appears to have lag at times, especially if something else has priority over the GUI.
Personally, I feel it was done this way for many reasons, to include helping with battery life on a Linux based system. On my Note 2, I feel there is lag where there should not be, but it does not bother me like it may others. If you have a iPhagot standing next to you, they will always point it out. We are running quad core processors that should not have lag as the power is there, however, because of the priority of the GUI being lower than many other Android system services, we see it here and there.
As far as this program... I believe it is doing some CPU governor tweaking, possibly even freezing programs on sleep. I have seen some programs that trim what the vm's can use for memory as well, so I wonder if this could be part of it. Could simply be disabling certain GUI functions which allows the GUI to appear faster. There are tricks in this forum that show you how to disable some lockscreen functions which allows wake time to be almost zero, but I like the lockscreen functions, so I can deal with the sub second lag... who cares really you know?

while the gui priority lag theory is true, this is not what lag free is doing..
If you download the app you see that it works with fstrim. Some sort of memory trimming utility that helps the os make faster decisions cause it trims the fat.
im not sure all the technical details but when you download it it gives you a brief description.

I think any lag that anyone experiences is mostly caused by tw launcher. I use nova and have all settings set to faster than light. I have zero lag. I can max out my cpu and force lag but for the most part it is non existent.

Its now been more than a year and half since Ice Cream sandwich was released. While many apps now use gpu rendering, the older ones that don't get a huge smoothness increase when this setting is enabled. I have been using this setting since I got my galaxy nexus over a year ago and the difference between on and off is huge. Its even worse on devices like the nexus 10 where without the setting on many apps are almost unusable but become butter smooth with it on. I think it is time for google to enable this setting by default, especially now that they hid the developer settings menu away.
Does it increase battery usage?
No they shouldn't. If an app benefits from GPU rendering then that's up to the app developer to implement. Forcing it causes problems with some apps.

No, I always have it on. But most people don't even know to turn it on (people that aren't into tech) and it makes a huge difference when its on. Also I have yet to see any apps that have issues with it on and it doesn't increase battery life. In fact it improves it in many cases. Go use a nexus 10 and open adobe reader without the setting on. Then use it again with it on. The difference is huge. It goes from like 5 fps to nearly 60fps. Many app developers are still targetting gingerbread which means that gpu rendering is off on those apps. On these 720p and 1080p phones it makes scrolling very laggy when performed in software.
Yeah, viewing pdf files without gpu rendering on is pure nightmare. Just like scrolling in xda app. The difference is huge.

Yeah, the benefits far outweigh any cons and for every one app it breaks (i haven't found any in over a year) there is 1000 that it improves greatly.
I forgot about this option thanks for reminding me
How beneficial is the force 4x MSAA do you think?

Its now been more than a year and half since Ice Cream sandwich was released. While many apps now use gpu rendering, the older ones that don't get a huge smoothness increase when this setting is enabled. I have been using this setting since I got my galaxy nexus over a year ago and the difference between on and off is huge. Its even worse on devices like the nexus 10 where without the setting on many apps are almost unusable but become butter smooth with it on. I think it is time for google to enable this setting by default, especially now that they hid the developer settings menu away.

This is a developer setting and apps who are intended to be accelerated, already are. There are too many fags playing with those options and then ranting on the Play Store about app behavior. Dev settings were hidden with a reason with 4.2.2. Jesus, there just isn't a month where this **** isn't brought up again.

Name me an app that doesn't work with it turned on. I haven't seen any.
The issue is that there is no way to turn on acceleration by default in an app unless you target honeycomb or higher which means you'll have to make a seperate gingerbread app. The pros of making this on by default far outweigh the cons and any apps that don't work with it will finally be pushed to update to use it.

Well then google should make it an opt out setting for app developers and not an opt in. I still haven't seen any other apps with the issue. This is how it is when targeting ice cream sandwich but for gingerbread theres no way to enable it.
Even if that one app has issues, thousands of other apps get huge performance increases and no issues. I'd say the benefits are still worth the drawbacks.

Enabling it causes some pictures not to show in the xda app
