any extra things I can do to optimize my phone?

Hello,
To keep it short. I am looking for any other cool things to do with my phone (rooted/S-offed) to increase performance or just cool things to F around There must be tons of possibilities with a rooted/S-offed phone
So far I have done a few:
Custom ROM recent CM7 nightly #208
Juwe's RAM optimization script
Custom theme
SD card ext3 partition for all my apps, so I have plenty of internal memory left
adfree app to block app ads
camera "less picture compression" script
I know I could try different ROM's but I am quite pleased with CM7 so I think I'll just stay with this one for now
Cheers

Could try some stickers lol. Only joking,have you looked into custom mtd? Very good for extra internal memory.

Just a quick and probably silly question about MTD partitioning. (I know the answer for a PC, but not for a smartphone.)
If I resized my MTD and free up internal memory, would this increase the benefits from the JUWES or V6 Ram optimisation or is it just for more storage space for apps?

Its just app storage. RAM (Which Juwe's Script and V6 Supercharger Script optimize) and ROM (Which Custom MTD alters) are different.

Try R3ds themes for cm7... u can get from android market itself.
Most amazing themes ever!!

[Q] Low available memory after flashing evolved rom final

I flashed the final evolved rom to my evo "r3 charged final"
I have noticed that with all the roms I flashed since 2.3 came out that i have very little free memory the previous rom I had about 130 megs but now I'm running 80 -100 and that is with a task killer set on 1 min kill intervals.
I read about low ram and something called HSPL but i have no idea what it is or how I can flash it
can any one help
also on the rom install i wiped the phone and even formatted the sd card so i know the install was clean ( it also runs really good until the memory gets below 70megs )
thanks for your help

Had the same problem, you need to partition your SD card and install apps 2 SD., I use one called dta2sd( dark tremors Apps2sd. Before using I used to get low memory messages all the time...
Give it a try it helped me out..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

is this for you to move your apps to or is this to use like ram it appears that my phone is running low on ram for the running processes but not room for storage ( I moved almost all my apps to the sd card already )
thanks for your quick reply above

Think its for more memory space for apps, but it must create more system memory as well, because before I used it I had moved all my apps to SD, but I was still running low on memory. Since Ive used apps2sd ive had no more memory shortages
Hope you like that Rom I've used it my self and its a good one.

I just partitioned my card but it did not affect my free available memory but i now have tons of storage space on my phone.
thank you for the advice though i really like having all the apps on a partition freeing up space in the phone any way ( i use alot of apps )

sounds like you don't quite understand the difference between ROM/storage space and RAM/memory.
A lot of people use memory and storage interchangeably but that is not accurate.
The OP is having a problem with low memory/RAM meaning that the OS and running programs are utilizing too much RAM, IE too many apps or processes are running or there is a memory hole/leak somewhere. He is not having a problem with storage space or room to install additional applications or store additional data.

you can use the V6 supercharger or Car-o-dope tweaks (i think thats what it is called) they will increase your RAM
If you get the RC4 release of the V6 (its still stable but not on the main page) you should do option 7 and 20. Be sure to nandroid before.

Thanks for the heads up on the RC4 release of the V6 I put it in and it did help my memory on this rom . So after partitioning and running the script I just have one strange question.
Does this rom have a built in power battery saver? i am not running any sort of battery saver, I am running a task killer still but only to see free ram since the script does the task killing now. I notice my wifi shuts off when the phone sleeps and that I have sleep mode that enables at about 11pm. Is there a way to kill this since I do most of my computer geek stuff late at night.
I have looked all through my apps and i have nothing installed that i believe could be doing the power conservation stuff
thanks

[Q] Enabeling swap in custom kernels

Hi everyone,
What about adding swap support to custom kernels to overcome SGW ram shortage? Couldn't post to dev forum so posted here. Please someone reply.
I have my SGW now for about one month and its my first android device.
I havevsome years ofvexperience with Linux and while i was playing around with my phone i have experienced som lag while switching homescreens on Go Launcher.
I have quite some stuff on screens and ex taskmanager widget shows me
that my mem is easily filled when doing some more stuff.
My phone got root and terminal also set up so thought
i go make a swap file on internal sd to give phone possibility
to swap mempages out of ram when needing mor mem.
Been there done that, saw that even if swap helper progs (i.e. mkswap,swapon,
swapoff) exist gives error that kernel lacks swap support.
Dont know why swap not implemented in stock rom, went ask internet for
custom kernel for SGW. Reading Kezras custom rom thread and beeing unable to post
questions to him on his thread , got me here.
I ve also read on internet that there are custom kernel for other devices with
swap activated. Though our fon has quite good processor it lacks ram,
so i wonder if custom kernels here have swap activated and perhaps start discussion here about pros and cons.
Thanx for any replies.

Hi its me again,
searched and found this thread for Htc that points out it could make sense to add swap to phons with little ram but strong cpu .
Check it out here.

But, is our Wonder short of RAM, or short enough to require swap partition on slooooow SD, or comcache using precious processing cycles to compress/decompress ??
Would using memory management, such as zeppelinrox V6 TurboCharger, not be more appropriate?
V6 Main thread
Latest Beta's
Without having to further reduce RAM for comcache!!
or swap partition on SD which is much slower than RAM?
But, I agree, it would be interesting and useful to have Custom ROM, which supported swap or comcache, even for the ability to compare and contrast.
But, there will always be a trade-off when using either comcache or swap....it's just a question of whether the individual user finds it acceptable.

Hi there irishpancake! Just testing the V6 supercharger myself seems pretty ruthless...keeping my used RAM at 230MB almost permanently and lag free! Doesn't quite have the same effect with a custom launcher but TW is flying. I think ur right about our device needing memory management more than anything.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App

@irishpancake
I ve tried the script you suggested,
and it 'feels' very promising.
I appreciate also your speakout for activating swap support in custom kernels/roms so anyone could choose freely what way to go.
Still virtual ram don't interferes with good memory managment and
with swapspace you have a little extra even if you dont use it and the
slow access is relativated through paging. Wonder if one can set page granularity in kernelconfig ?
By the way if anyone could point a
Rom/kernel developer at this thread as i cant. I would like to hear their opinion on all that.
Thanx for replies so far ....

Hi 2g11 man.....
sorry, I just saw your PM, about V6, and just to say, I find it definitely snappier, and as you have noted, very good on the memory management.
I do not have enuff knowledge to actually give figures or stats, but it just feels much faster, and responsive, lag-free.
I am still using the Update 9 RC4, so I will try out the latest version Update 9 RC6 ASAP....
I use Launcher Pro, just coz I hate TW, and it is remarkably good with the V6 tweaks........and I am still Stock ROM 2.3.6 [KJ6].

changing pagesize is no valid option to influence swapping behaviour.We have to stick to
"swappiness" kernel parameter which can be changed 'online' though.

@irishpancake I guess I didn't properly set the ADW Pro I was testing as the 'default' launcher as described by THE-E in another thread. Will try out the new script as well. Just wondering, do you use options 7,13 and 20 as described in Rio's Black Keys thread? Maybe some other options you've tried?

Already using it

Free RAM is not the issue, it's whether your phone has breathing space.
For instance, I can have 50mb free but everything runs fast because the RAM is used up by apps that I use.
However, if your RAM is being used up by background services and apps that you don't use, then it will produce occasional slow down.
In other words, free RAM is not the goal, but properly utilised RAM.
All this being said, I hope RAM management improves with ICS.
When you restart your phone, check the RAM after it fully starts up (without opening any apps). Mine is 150 used, 150 free.
Andy

I have 267MB free.. Arc S...

You on a custom ROM?
I'm running stock, rotted, so some system apps removed.

Mine has around 140MB of free ram.Try to reduce unnecessary widgets from the homescreen.

If rooted use titanium backup and move internal apps to system.
Use the integrate into ROM function. System apps have there own partition.
This might help with lag issue.

OK if your phone is rooted then use an app from the market which is called titanium backup.
Once installed press menu button select batch option look for option to make a backup of all 'system apps and user apps'
once the backup its complete. Look for option in batch setting 'integrate into ROM'
This will move some internal apps into the system partition of the phone, this will free up your visible internal free memory.
I have moved maps, gmail, adobe flash into rom and they run with out any issue and still update
Hope fully this will help if you are having any lag issue.

I have 100 to 150 mb free. I use icelite beta1, but i have installed ram manager free from market becouse my ram was always under 60 mb and i have experienced some lags. But now all works fine. Hope it helps

When it starts it has around 200MB of RAM, with moderate use (Browser, YouTube, maybe a game, Twitter..) around 140MB, never goes below 100.
I have Arc S, currently unrooted (bricked it once, waiting on ICS)
and I think RAM managment will be better in Ice Cream

185 ~ 165 MB
From my sexy LT15i

Just curious where y'all are picking these numbers from? And just how many are confusing "RAM" with "storage"?
And, don't forget, "free" (as in unused) RAM is wasted RAM. In a perfect system, you would have 0 MB of free RAM, as every bit of RAM that wasn't currently in use by an app would be used to cache data to prevent the uber-slow reads from disk.

Phoenix is right. Free RAM is wasted RAM
Sent from my LT18i using XDA

0 ram in a perfect system? There must always be some free ram, because new opened apps need it. But je can use swap memory. I use it to, and it's boost my system. But use a good sd card when u want to use swap memory. I have a class 10 sd card, so I don't have any problems whit my swap memory. I installed a2sd and use the app a2sdGui tot set the swapines. Swapines is how much the system use the swap memory.
Swap memory is the same as virtual memory in windows. But when you only have a class 4 sd card, I don't advice you to use swap memory. And whit a2sd you also can put system apps to your sd, on a sd-ext partition. Search on XDA and you find something about it.

No, you don't need free RAM for this. RAM currently being used for Cache, marked as Inactive, or used for Buffers will either be discarded or flushed to disk, and then that newly freed RAM will be used for the new app.
In Linux (which is what's under/behind Android), there are 5 categories of memory usage:
- Active (RAM currently in use by the app)
- Inactive (RAM used by apps that aren't currently running but were recently so could be used again quickly if you run the same app again)
- Cached (RAM used by the OS to cache disk reads/writes; can be flushed to disk at any time for use by apps)
- Buffer (RAM used by the OS to buffer various things; can be discarded at any time for use by apps)
- Free (completely unused RAM just sitting there doing nothing)
In a perfect system, Free would be 0. Any available RAM would be used by apps (Active) or the OS (Cached/Buffer). And anytime an app needs RAM, it would grab it from the Cached/Buffer groups.
But je can use swap memory. I use it to, and it's boost my system. But use a good sd card when u want to use swap memory. I have a class 10 sd card, so I don't have any problems whit my swap memory.

Swap use is an indication that the system has too little (not enough) RAM for the number of apps you want to use and is really just a crutch. The less swap you use, the better the system will run.

And, again, how are you measuring "free" RAM? I'm willing to bet that what most people are measuring is not actually "Free" RAM, but what the Settings --> Applications --> Running applet shows as "free", which is really a total of Cached, Buffer, and Free (IOW, it's showing "RAM available for use by apps" and not "Free, as in wasted, RAM". Those are two very different things.)
Install a real stats/monitoring tool like Diagnosis and configure it to show "free" ("Real free memory", not "Total free memory"; the former is Free, the latter is Free+Cached+Buffers) memory, and you'll notice that it will hover around/under 5 MB most of the time. When you first power on, "Free" will be 40-80 MB. Fire up a few apps, and it will drop down to almost 0 MB. And it will hover there until you reboot the phone.
Which is exactly what it's supposed to do!
"Free" RAM is wasted RAM.

Technically, it's hard to tell the difference performance-wise. Android does it's own memory management, but also it won't hurt anyone if you try RAM tweaks and see the result for yourself.

if you are much conscious about ram then never use and go product they are the hogger beast

Well, thats true, but the RAM is meant to be cached (fully used) for quickly launching the desired application.

Best way to optimize RAM for starters is to monitor your background, cached and running processes well. First, freeze stock background running bloatware using TB. Mainly DRM content (some say it messes with ringtones and stuff but I never experienced that), wsynclmps, syncmIDs, maps (unfreeze it only when needede), software update(this really doesnt help and is waste of RAM+space), pico TTS , TTS service(these two are for voice to text conversion and are literally not much used), samsung account(is waste compared to play store), two email ones (use gmail app these dont help much), social hub , samsung push service.Choose adrenaline engine if you want multi tasking and v6 if you want more free ram.You can mix both of them but its risky and needs some scripting skills to remove the conflicts they make and highly NOT recommended.

completely agree with this one. less ram is not alway a good news in android system since it has unique RAM management. for quick acces and less RAM r/w some of app is stored in RAM's cache. SGY's default ram setting is already good enough for multitasking and gaming option. if you want a better performance in your device you don't need lesser RAM. instead of it you need a better memory and app management.
