Guys, is there anyway i can do to make my galaxy nexus faster or hoe to clean up more RAM By using default or old way from the device itself?
Cause i feel im not install lots of app and not running lot of them but its a lil bit annoying cause my phone run a lil bit heavy than usual even I've restart the phone already.
Please need your advance suggestion n guide. So far what ive done is close the app one by one and i notice there is no galaxy nexus. Firmware app that can kill all apps simultaneously.

Don't interfere in androids multitasking. Closing apps that were intended to run in the background is only going to slow your system down overall.
Your best bet is to either make the switch to a more streamlined custom ROM or consider starting fresh.

That's not the way Android works- it seems that you have your phone confused with a Windows PC. Killing processes to free up ram is counterintuitive and serves to slow the device down. Free ram is wasted ram in this case.

That is by using 3rd party app, right? But is there anyway to optimize device from hardware or from default app by itself?

freeing ram??
ok if you insist, go to developer options, scroll to "background process", change it to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
you can also enable "force gpu rendring"
Use v6 supercharger also its spelled how not hoe which means autocorrect got you probably which means you've been typing hoe a lot ehh?

Op, at this precise moment I have 5 home screens full of widgets, and "only" have 172MB of free RAM.
It doesn't lag, it's still snappy. And I don't kill apps. Android kernel does that for me. This isn't Froyo or Gingerbread anymore.
Fine-tune your governor settings.

How you make your android kernel all those thing for you? Honestly i still like my google galaxy nexus but its kinna annoying when i open multi task app and its lagging im thinking its because lots of history chat, text that still stored or apps cache thats stored in google galaxy nexus storage or into the device memory ram itself, im sorry, i know ghere no way storage something inside the memory ram but who knows im just speculate.

You might consider switching back to 4.1.2. As far as i have heard all Galaxy Nexus models suffer from poor memory management in de 4.2.x Android versions, often leaving with less than 50mb of free RAM. I personally have this problem and I'm about to switch back. I'm just researching which ROM to get and not lose too many functions.

How to downgrade
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You should just factory reset and let the phone manage ram how its meant to. Having more free ram may cause a placebo effect but were not talking about windows here...used ram properly is more effecient than unused wasted RAM.
If you want to downgrade search for factory images.

Might as well try the V6 Supercharger http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418 run it using script manager from Play Store, other instructions are in the script itself.
It has made my phone quite smoother /4.2.2

Just curious who else is using the LookOut app?
I've been using it on my past three devices, Galaxy4G, LG G2X and SGSII...seems pretty cool... I don't know... what do you all think?
1. Curious how much system resource it uses to be running in the background constantly?
2. How much does it really effect the battery?
3. Is it worth even having?
Pros:
I like the locate, back up and scan features.
i use it, also for the location (in case i lose it) and it scans my apps (i dont know if it actually makes a difference)...but it doesnt seem to lag my phone at all and there is no noticeable battery drain
that is the first thing i removed from the stock ROM
Can you list the reasons why?

on my old phones, it slowed them down, in this phone i don't think it will make any speed difference
but we are safe, and i see no reason to use it
if you just wan GPS tracking, the build in Google Maps feature have it
and there are tons of other phone retrieval apps that consumes less resources than look out, and can be activated with SMS
also look out is extremely annoying as they keep spamming you with junk mail for as long as you are using their app
i have a strange problem with w.whenever my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers.i cant play music,video,no locking and unlocking sounds.i have to restart the phone again.this happens atleast once every day.any thoughts on this?
OK....my best guess is it's the phones way of protecting it's "core" functions. The ram usage has reached a point where there is a danger of failure of its prime functions and it is attempting to divert ram from other non essential services. First thing you've got to do is find out what's eating your ram. There are apps available that can supply this information though I don't know what they're called as I've never had to use them (sorry) Are you using a lot of apps that run in the background to bring you notifications etc? If this is the case and you don't really need the app, delete it....simples.....
There is also a setting in CM9 that allows you to turn off background data if you need to keep the apps......give it a go and see....it might be all you need to do
From my Galaxy W on CM9 and CWM6 with Tapatalk 2
Other things to try.....
Keep the number of home screens to a minimum.....
Remove "Widgets" from your home screens....
Apps like Facebook, eBay, amazon, PayPal, hmv, game, email....basically any app that takes you to a website.....they ALL use ram and they will ALL restart if you close them......they can ALL be deleted and replaced by bookmarked web searches that can be pasted to your home screen....sure you won't get a notification if billy has commented on your status, or if you have an unread email, or if that item you're watching is ending soon, but if your phone works better as a result....who cares lol.......
If you want to take it further than that, root your phone (if you haven't already) and install Gemini app manager.....you can use it to prevent apps from auto running and using ram.......

yes stock rom
That'll be another reason then.....ur stock OS has all sorts of bloatware (social hub, music hub, games hub, maps.....) all of it using RAM.....another thing to watch for....3rd party launchers (go launcher + addons).....very RAM hungry....ROOT your phone and freeze the bloat.....you WILL notice a difference.....you don't even have to install a custom rom, though that WILL help too.....

A new app popped up in the Play Store to fix the ongoing lag issues. It seems to work on a number of devices including the Nexus 7. It is called LagFix (fstrim) and is a free app. There was a good review on AndroidPolice. You must be rooted to use the app is the only downside. Here is the link

I can confirm that this works, wasnt having too much lag just barely a little but still decided to give this a try and I'm noticing a major difference with everything, stuff just feels liquid smooth
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
what lag issues does it fix?
I can confirm that it really helped my GNex. Says it trimmed approx 3gb!? I do know the smooth scrolling came back immediately. I'd like to know what it'll do if I check the "system" box. Gotta research more tho before diving in that.

My N7 is laggy as hell and I really want to try this. The problem is that I never rooted before and will have to wipe my device to root (which I really don't want to do). Is there a way to execute the Trim command via ADB or some other USB debugging method that will not require me to install this app and root my device?
Installed it and ran it. Not sure if it made a difference. Are you supposed to run it just one time or whenever you reboot?

Sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I have read and searched and wasn't able to find anything.
I have an SGH-I317 running stock 4.1.2 rooted and would like to know if there is a list of which stock apps can be safely disabled without causing problems with other apps.
This is my first android device as I have been an iPhone user since the very first one launched up until 2 months ago I made the switch. I'm very happy with the phone, I just would like to know which factory installed apps can be disabled without causing problems with other apps.
Any info is greatly appreciated!

No list to my knowledge. ..
Use titanium backup pro and freeze the apps you wish to remove one by one and test.
Most ATT apps can be dumped without issues, and freezing them is safe in case you need them.
You need root of course. ..g
Is there a difference between freezing them and disabling them?
I know disabling them 'hides' them from the app drawer. Does freezing them do the same?

Freezing makes it so that the android system cant see it i believe disabling just makes it stop running and removes the icon
I found this after some more searching, it is for the s2 / s3 but is a pretty good to go on list for other samsung devices as well.

I haven't went with titanium pro yet.
It's on my wish list of apps to buy.
I just went with disabling the at&t apps for now. I've tried a few custom ROMs which had the bloatware removed but there was always something missing that I liked from the stock ROM. (I don't mind some of the Samsung apps)
Plus being new to android I'm still learning what it does and how it does it so I'm nervous to use custom ROMs until I'm more comfortable with what's going on with my device. It's a bit of a shock to the system going from iOS for 6 yrs to android.
Overall I'm happy with the switch so far.

I am still stock... unrooted. Hide the bloats and you won'y really feel the 'pain' too much until you are more confident of what you are doing. I experience no lag with all my bloats hidden. I didn't even bother to disable them. Phone is still smooth as butter.

Same. Stock and not rooted. The bloat isn't insane on the Note2 so I think I'll stay stock as long as possible.

I know disabling them does. Someone had mentioned hiding them so I was asking if hiding them prevents them from running in the background. I'm pretty sure it doesn't but wasn't positive.
I took the disabling route because it hides the apps as well as completely turning them off.

So I have my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014. I have rooted it got rid of bloat ware , even downloaded nova launcher and froze touchwiz home, but I a, still getting annoying lag, I love the tab but it's not running as smooth as I like. When I clear all apps with task manager my ram goes down to just over 1 gb which is great compared to the sometimes over 2gb of ram touchwiz was using sometimes. Should I reboot the system then re root, I heard factory reset has helped a lot of people. Any thoughts?

Personally, I'm not seeing any lag. Out of box I immediately updated to MK1, wiped, rooted, and then immediately downloaded Titanium Backup. I removed the 6+2 knox related apps, disabled a majority of the Samsung bloat, and have been running smooth ever since. I left Touchwiz personally, as I haven't seen the need to use Nova.
Where are you seeing the lag? A wipe usually takes care of the problem however I know its an inconvenient solution,,,, Are you running MK1?
I'm in the UK so it's on j6. Maybe the mk1 takes care of the lag . It's not horrendous, just on play Store and sometimes it really slows down on moving screen etc
