[Q] RAM Issue

hey all,
i just got my Galaxy w, and the RAM is always at 315, give or take, after 2x "clear memory" i can get it to 260 - 270, and i noticed that the home screen takes about 3-5 secs to load after i press the home button from a browser or some other apps.
i used autokiller app to optimize the memory and with the strict settings i can get it to be in the 260-290 area.
is this normal ?

Stop using killer apps, it doesn't optimize your RAM because Android has an other way to manage memory than desktop PCs.
Download the Gemini Manager and deactivate the apps which don't have to be loaded as auto run.
You can also block/lock the bloatware.

You can disable all additional programmes beside the stock apps. Don't disable your Launcher, because this is required to boot up. Messengers like Facebook, WhatsApp etc. need autorun in order to push the new messages on your device. Which apps to disable depends also on your individual way of usage. Some use Locker apps etc. So you have to experiment a bit. If it comes down to stock apps, you will have to find out whether it is required for the ROM.

I don't use anymore the stock ROM, so my ROM doesn't contain bloatware.
You will have to search the net or this forum, I remember someone posting the apps which are required on the stock ROM.

[Q]AudioOut_2 wakelock problem

Hello, I installed betterbatterystats and I found a partial wakeclock very high due to AudioOut_2.
I disabled Samsung tts and google tts. All keyboard sound and all screen sound, But the problem persist. I havent viber , in 48 never play mp3 and youtube.
List of my programs:
Appbrain
Apps Organizer
Cpu spy
Dropbox
Easy cache cleaner
Terminal emulator
EzPdfReader
Facebook
Framaroot
Gmail
Gpp Remote
Mtalk
My vodafone
Office Suite
Puffin
Recent Apps
Rescan Media Root
Skype
Superuser
solid explorer
Tapatalk
Titanium Backup
Tivi
Whatsapp
Widgetsoid
Youtube
Thx for the help

Might be something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29369439&postcount=4
It can be any program that is not closed properly (eg. running in the background), like Youtube.
Does it also occur when your device is rebooted and NO program is started? (See in the apps listing which apps are running right after resetting)

it is manifested even when the device has just been restarted. I try to freeze youtube and see how it goes?

Does anyone know a program to check if the battery is still working?

Hi. Maybe try to untick conversation tones (notifications) in whatsapp.

Try to use Greenify. That'll stop programmes from restarting.
As has been said that particular wake lock is an app that hasn't closed Properly.
When I get it I terminate apps one by one each time going back to bbs hitting refresh to see if the wakelock has stopped increasing. When it does I know that's the app I need to greenify.

thx for explain.
Last night as I needed the phone fully functional, I 've formatted. I will update if the problem recurs and if I were to do only 3 hours of screen on. If greenefy will install (I have to buy it or even the free version is fine?)
Thank you.

Any time.
I use the free version. It is a very good app. Make sure you delete all sounds within the phone settings as well. Such as tts, keyboard sounds/vibrations etc.

look em up man! if you dont know then you probably should. super helpful apps.
Ad-away - ad blocker
Greenify - hibernates apps so they dont run all the time basically the apps you hibernate thru Greenify only run when you tap on them to run. Example maps. Helps with wakelocks.
Root Explorer - my personal favorite file manager.
TiBU = Titanium Backup. backs up all your apps. Think it requires root.
Those are the ones I use and I install everytime I flash a new ROM.

I'll add in the rest:
Quickboot - Not really necessary anymore but I use it to go to recovery or reboot without using the power button. I use the Free version.
GMD SPen - Gives gesture control and is similar to what the stock ROM offers. Only needed on AOSP ROMs. Paid app.
Note Buddy - Gives you some more spen functions. Only used on AOSP ROMs. Free.
Seeder - This reduces lag on my phone. YMMV. Free if you use the XDA link. Paid in the Play store.
Wakelock Detector - Tells you what is waking up your phone. Free.

Very nice,
Thanks for the information, and for expounding on it.

Rooted my Note 10.1 2014..now what?

forgive my ignorance here. I'm new to all of this.
My 2014 10.1 was giving me all kinds of issues, but mostly, battery problems.
I decided to root the device, and did so successfully, checking to make sure. It is.
But now, I'd like to remove bloatware and Samsung apps that I feel might be causing the issue. How do I go about doing this?
Cannot find, searching the web, what needs to be done now. Thanks for the help.,

Your safest and best bet is to install Titanium Backup and FREEZE the bloatware. I'm not recommend to uninstall or delete system apps. After you freeze, you won't see them in your app draw, and they don't take up space at all. If by accident to freeze one of the critical app which may cause problem but you could easily un freeze and back to business.

Flash a custom recovery, twerp 2.6.x.x, and flash a new rom.

Don't uninstall anything, freeze with Titanium Backup but ultimately install xposed and greenify all unnecessary apps, aside from a handful, all my apps are greenified. I don't greenify system apps but you may some select few. Battery performance is far superior this way.

Ok, i'm a total noob and i admit it ...rooted my Note 2014 successfully, but like the OP i really don't know what to freeze...
1. If i freeze Samsung Apps (and widget), Samsung Hub (+updater) will the other samsung individual apps still update themselves? I'm interested mainly in updating Sketchbook for Galaxy (the one the tablet came with) - i asked in another thread and no answer
2. what is "greenify" ? (same as "freeze"?)
Thank you
Mike

Freeze is the same as uninstalled, frozen apps do not run. It's safer than removing because it's still on your device and you can unfreeze anytime.
Greenify is a module for xposed. It stops apps from running in background. Greenified apps are available in your app list, run them as usual. But when they are not used for some time, greenify closes them. In your example you'd like to greenify Samsung Apps, not freeze, so you can run it regularly to check for updates.

Great root app's

I have seen a couple root apps posted that are good to have, I have a few apps that I have installed on every phone that make life a whole lot easier for root functions. I have no ties to any of these developers, and I have not created any of these apps. I just want to share some apps that I find are useful.
SD Maid, by Darken: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm
This app is great, This is my favorite root app. The feature list is jam packed with things it can do to help you change your Rom to better suite what you want. It makes clearing out corpses of removed apps (system or not) clearing your cache, and it even allowes you to uninstall or freeze system apps, you can even delete an app but leave its data in case you want to reinstall it later without having to reset up everything. You can toggle auto starts, look for duplicate files, and check your system info. it is a free app, with a paid unlocker for the pro features, and it is totally worth it to unlock the pro features.
CSC Feature Expert for Samsung, by Wanam: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.cscexpert
This app is great for modifying hidden features that carries change within the stock Sammy rom such as removing that annoying wifi notification in the drop down menu (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/quick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506 for some great ideas)
SQLite Editor, by speed software: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
This app allows you to edit the SQL for some great mods and tweaks like removing the brightness slider bar in the drop down menu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/general/tweak-remove-brightness-slider-t3088329)
GSam Battery Monitor, by Gsam Labs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
This app has a companion app for root users that makes it a system app with all the permissions needed to keep a close eye on battery usage. Tells you how long your average usage is for each app and the longer you have it installed the better it gets at telling you what is going on.
ROM Toolbox, by JRummy:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
This app is a combination of like 8 apps that JRummy has created rolled into one easy to use package, for about 80% less than buying them separately. Most of the features of this app are not very useful for our phones, I think it is more leaning towards CM based ROMS but it still has a few features that we can use like a great file explorer, a easy to use app manager, a build.prop editor, task manager, Terminal emulator, and a DNS shanger.
Thats my list of must have root apps, what are some root apps you guys are using? I am sure there is an app out there I have not seen that would end up on my list, so reply with your favorite apps for root! :highfive:

greenify
titanium backup
flashfire

greenify, by Oasis Feng:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Great for shutting down apps that like to run in the background. Great thing for the S6 is you can set the home button to greenify and lock the screen by holding the home button for 2 seconds.
titanium backup, by Titanium Track:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
I personally dont like titanium back up. and SD Maid does everything Titanium back up does and more all in one app for less money.
flashfire, by Chainfire: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash
This is a new app for me, I have started using it for flashing on my S6 Edge, but never used it before that. It is a great app, and a necessity for us s6 users with locked bootloaders.
better battery stats, by Sven Knipsel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
No free or trial version so I have never tried the app. It looks like a useful app, but no better than the Gsam, and gsam is free.
adaway, by sufficientlysecure: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553157
Adaway is a necessity for all root users! it does what it says and makes the ads go away. I didnt include it in my origional post because I was going to stick with Play store apps but it is more than worth of the list.
To add another useful app, is another app store, fdroid. https://f-droid.org/
Fdroid offers some apps that the play store wont allow such as adawy. I have never had or heard of any malware issues using Fdroid, but I dont see alot of people talking about it around here.
