Hi,
I don't know if anyone is still using one of these pieces of ****, but I can't afford anything new (if you are still using it as your main device too, I pity you :highfive.
I'm using FXP latest CM10 ROM, and it has worked okay for me for the last year. The problem is that since a couple of months my phone often acts like it's even ****tier than it actually is, by taking 5 seconds to react on anything and filling up the RAM until it runs out of memory and soft reboots. This happens twice a day under normal use.
Is this normal, or are the internals fried? I haven't overclocked it that frequently, but I've used it a lot the last 3 years.
Also is this true? I suspect that the useless Android memory management kicks Greenify out of the memory, then proceeds filling up the RAM with the stupid background services every app thinks it needs nowadays until the phone runs out of memory and (soft) reboots.
Other stuff that might be relevant:
I'm using Greenify and put everything in it that syncs except for a few apps.
Using Nova Launcher, no widgets
About 80MB free RAM after a reboot. I don't get how people can have like 150MB free if they actually use their phone.
No other scripts or non-stock-CM tweaks used

Start out by trying other firmwares, stock ones for example.

I'm not going back to 4.0 like a peasant. And I had soft reboots there too under heavy usage. Shouldn't FXP CM10 be the most stable custom ROM (I'm using 2.4 kernel)

Hey y'all, I've been seeing a strange thing on my SGS2 recently with Words With Friends: It totally kills the battery.
I just recently wiped my phone and put in VillainRom 1.1 with CF-Root kernel and charged up my phone. I then randomly checked words with friends and played a few words.
Results:

In 4 minutes and a half, it pulled 43% total battery use from a total uptime of just under 40 minutes.
Anyone else seen this happening with WwF ?
I've noticed Words with Friends taking up a lot of battery whenever I use it, so your not alone on this.
Yes i've noticed it too. it uses 100% cpu in one of the 2 cores while the game is open.

You're definitely not alone and I tried the application on both of my phones (Captivate and S II) and all I can tell you is that words with friends drains the battery like mad.
Furthermore, the app hasn't been optimized for dual core processor handsets yet (as it is the case with most apps). When developers start optimizing their apps for dual core processors we should definitely see an increase in battery life as optimized apps can utilize the two cores more efficiently.
Any fix for this yet? It's killing both mine and my wife's SgSII's, but my desire Z is fine.
Biggest priority for the wife is WwF so she's not happy about the battery usage! Lol
lol it's funny i played this with the gf yesterday and it killed my battery as well. i knew immediately it was the culprit
Alright, long time epic 4g touch user, and a while back i reported one lost and got another. I found it yesterday and have decided to basically turn it into a media player. So I need to know if it is safe to uninstall some of the stock applications baked blackbean. I want to remove telephone, messaging, stock browser, 4g settings, and possibly a other things. Does anyone have insight as to whether or not this will cause instability?

All of the apps mentioned will cause massive force closes if deleted, basically rendering it unusable.

I will be releasing an update to the rom here soon with a script to disable the radio so you can just remove whatever regular apps that you don't want. But I agree, if you start removing the core system apps, it's going to cause a lot of problems. It has incredible battery life. Monitor the thread and we'll see how it goes.

He was asking about Baked Black Bean (AOSP)
Well, that answers my question. I'll disable their auto runs, and hide them in nova launcher. And I'll look at that rom, because if it's as good as you say it might be my new daily driver.

I was wondering what people are doing with their 5X's. The Nexus devices use to be a safe haven for ROM users, but with stock Android getting so good with monthly updates, and Android Pay not being usable on a custom ROM, custom ROM's have been a lot less appealing to me.
Nonetheless, I believe that this device suffers from MAJOR optimization issues, and the combination of CM13 and ElementalX kernel solves a lot of these issues, yet I feel like I'm missing out without the possibility of using Android Pay.
I have also grown tired of factory resetting my phone after doing it countless times over the last few years, and I'm ready to not have to do that for a long while, and the most obvious option for that is sticking with stock.
So what are you guys doing? Sticking with stock? Or are you using some custom ROM as a daily driver?

Did someone say custom ROM?
Flashing is addicting. Fun too. And there isn't anything wrong that. If you have the time and patience it is an excellent hobby.
Sounds like it's getting old to you. Maybe it's time to take a break. Try stock unrooted (or rooted) for a week or so and see if it works out for you. If not flash away. You won't be out anything.
I'm on day 3 of stock unrooted (for the best buy deal). I'm going to see how long I can stay this way.

Hi,
I would like to know if installing a custom ROM will allow me more apps that I use in memory. For the time being, the stock Nexus 5X system and Google specific apps take quite a lot of this device RAM (1.1 - 1.2 GB).
View attachment 4160763
For example, the Google App, which I don't use, constantly eat 100+ MB of RAM.
So, how is/was your ram usage with a custom ROM ? Can I disable/uninstall the Google specific apps in a custom ROM (e.g. Cyanogenmod ) ?
Regards
Usage on Lineage OS without those google apps like (google now, google music....)
As you can see there isn't much difference.

i have experienced similar problems & my device has less RAM than yours. Flashing can be a tricky affair. Do you have root access? Before you jump in see if you can determine which apps are running in the background unnecessarily & kill them. Despite what some folks say, a good task manager can help even if only to discover what's running & how much memory they are consuming.

Indeed, there is not much of a difference .
The lack of the Google App gives you an additional of 100 MB of RAM.
Thank you very much!
I noticed that no matter how ram a phone claims to have it somehow always using around half of it sometimes more other times less...is there any point to having more RAM?

Unused RAM is wasted RAM
The OS will cache things in memory that are commonly used to allow them to load faster and it will dump them if ram is needed for something else.
Thr point og having 12 GB id to have a wide marging for appd to operate without hiccups, the whole ram in the top line devices will hardly be used in full all the time, wich happened commonly in little ram devices time ago

got it.. I thought my ram was being wasted by being used up when I have all my apps closed
Having half of 12GB available is still way better than having half of 3GB available...
Closing apps then opening them again is less battery friendly than letting apps stay in memory, plus it's faster and you can resume from where you left it.
