"Don't keep activities" - anybody use it?

Love the phone but a few times the launcher has redrawn after exiting an app because of most likely memory issues. Anybody using this option? Assuming over time this would keep more memory free and reduce this issue. Any thoughts?

This is one of the reasons why I don't like that Google included these developer options pre-installed on this phone. They're developer options for a reason, we can install them if we need to.
This feature is designed so that developers can test their app to be sure that data is properly saved when is no longer in the foreground. For example, if a user receives a phone call or jumps to another app, the app needs to do what is necessary to save it's data. At times, Android can kill a process in the background. If the user plans to go back (perhaps they finished the phone call), they want to see what it is they were working on last. The developer is supposed to handle this case by rebuilding everything as it was before (to provide that seamless experience for the user when switching between apps).
This debug feature helps us test that it works.
For the average user, all you're really more likely to do is slow down your apps. As they will have to rebuild themselves when you resume them, and you may even open yourself to more quirky bugs (for those apps that didn't properly test the above scenario).
So please don't enable it unless you're doing it for development purposes. My 2 cents.
*EDIT* Here's a page from the Android Dev Guide justifying my explanation:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debugging/debugging-devtools.html
Immediately destroy activities
Tells the system to destroy an activity as soon as it is stopped (as if Android had to reclaim memory). This is very useful for testing the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) / onCreate(android.os.Bundle) code path, which would otherwise be difficult to force. Choosing this option will probably reveal a number of problems in your application due to not saving state. For more information about saving an activity's state, see the Activities document.

Thanks. I turned it off. Did notice some bugs while on. I just wish with 1GB of RAM the launcher wouldnt have to reload. Hopefully things get better. Might just be my apps but it happens quite often when leaving the browser.

weird.. how many widgets do you have on your launcher? the more widgets you have, the slower the launcher is.
Have you tried another launcher? The stock launcher has never been known for being fast and efficient, although I haven't had any issues with it (whereas I'm a LauncherPro fan on my other devices).

I have quite a few Widgets but nothing too crazy I don't think. I use LauncherPro on my other devices as well but I love this new launcher so I'm going to stick it out. Like I said the most common task that causes the issue is when I'm using the web browser and then come out of it. Otherwise its been stable. I've noticed the same thing with Honeycomb on my Xoom so it might just be one of those things I have to put up with.

i'm also noticing some redraw and occasional lag when hitting the home button.
I'm hoping that CM9's custom launcher will have an option to lock it in memory- that may increase the performance by a lot.
also when replacement launchers like go launcher start optimizing more for ICS those might be good options.

Have you tried converting your launcher into a system app? You'll need to use Titanium Backup Pro or something similar to do it for you, or simple copy the APK into your system/app folder... Really sped up my launcher!

Thanks for clarifying the meaning of "Don't keep activities"

my razr xt910 cannot be counted upon to run smoothly with all the apps simultaneously running and forcing itself to go into reboot. i then fancied an iPhone single styled system (as compared to Android multi-talks) cuz iPhone looks robust and responsive. all the killer that claimed to do the job looked more of a farce and then when i stumbled upon the destroy activity i was like OMG. srsly b4 using it I've only got just inner 100mb of ram, after using it i have a whooping 400mb ram. UI appears faster and all. regarding the relaunching of apps and battery life being used up. i think I'll start to worry about it on a later date. what say any body. ooh yes to add on, even after i deleted 40 apps on my phone it still hanged like fcuked. i guess i can reinstall them back again and not have to worry about it. btw i can't seem to root my xt910 for nuts so i can't custom ROM it along with all other fanciful mods that i hear about what others did to their phones.

Does Jellybean disable multitasking?

I came from the t-mobile galaxy s2 and it ran all my tasks in the background. For example, I'd load up a page and then check my email and I'd come back to see it fully loaded.
Whereas, on my Galaxy Nexus if I try to do that it'll have to reload the page.
I know this was a problem on the HTC one X and S, but has this always been something going on in the Nexus or was it after the update to jellybean?
Is there a way to enable apps running in the background?
Thank you in advanced.

I'll agree with the others. Mine usually works the way you have described but sometimes it doesn't, especially with Chrome. If you wait too long the OS will also kill the app no matter if there's enough free ram or not iirc. I'd think if you just switched to email or sms or the alike, then switched back to the browser within a couple of minutes it should work just fine. 2gb of ram would definitely help though!

Do you have the setting to kill apps after exiting enabled in Developers Settings?
Turn that off if it's on.

No I don't and I have the "background process limit" to standard limit. What is the standard limit?

I have to agree with the OP. On my SGS2 i9100, apps stay alive much longer in the background buttons on the GNex they have to reload even if it's the 3rd apply on hold.
But then again the I9100 had 835mb free ram and the GNex only has 695mb free ram.

Where's all of our ram being allocated to? GPU? It was like that on my Droid X2, was so annoying that the original Droid X had more free ram than it did

What I find surprising is that any somewhat-experienced developer can tell you that RAM is so important on Android, much more than processing power, yet phones are released QUAD-CORE, which makes no sense. Android is a semi-multitasking operating system, it would benefit more from a really good dual-core rather than an average quad-core processor.
RAM is important, because when you switch applications on Android, your app's are 'hybernated' in memory until they are called back again. It is also possible for developer to hybernate the application better (such as store the state on internal memory), but most applications do not use it.
What this means is that if you have a lot of applications running and some applications 'ping' in your background frequently, then you will have very little RAM available on your phone. So when new application is run, the old hybernated ones are killed off.
Where does this take us?
It takes us back to 2010 when released phones had very little internal memory. Applications were growing in size and functionality back then, but most could not be moved to SD card and some parts of the application stayed on internal memory anyway. This meant that after a while, you really could not install all the apps you found useful because you kept running out of internal memory.
This is similar to 2012, where most phones have just 1GB of RAM and only very few new phones have realized this as a problem and have upgraded to 2GB. It is similar because again, apps grow in size and functionality and require more RAM. And in time this means that you can only have very few applications running at the same time without being killed off. Right now, if you happen to run a game like Shadowgun, be prepared to have most of your background apps killed off the moment you start the game.
On the 1GB version of Galaxy S3 that was released in EU there are even problems where the launcher itself is killed off because applications require RAM.
So it's similar in that in a years time, 1GB of RAM will be a real nuisance on the phone because it almost entirely kills off multitasking capability of the phone.
Developers know it, yet marketers and people who 'make the decisions' do not seem to care. They can advertise better processor much more efficiently than more RAM, since people can notice speed, but rarely notice RAM. Most people don't even know that their phone could work better if it had more RAM.

Jesus, I hope you didn't type all that from a phone!

What I've found is that, on JB, clicking back on an app until you get out will bring you to the home screen instead of the application you were using before opening the last one.
Pretty annoying if you ask me! Anyone knows how to change this behavior?
The stock browser behavior is not changed much from ics, though. It often reloads, but I'm not sure it's been killed, it might just be that the page is "expired" in some way.

The application state wil be different if you change app by history or by hitting back.
I often leave an app by hitting back because I want it to start from the main screen (not where it was) when I get to it (eventually) later.
It's like iconifying a window on a pc and it shows the desktop instead of the underlying window(s): doesn't make sense to me.
And anyway it's been different on all previous android versions (tested from cupcake on )

[Q] Why to Root Note 2?

Hello all, i recently bought Note2. I switched over from my 2 years old HTC desire which i had rooted in the very first month for various reasons.
Just to give you a background i am not against rooting. But i believe, since we are taking this risk, it should really be worth it. For my HTC, it had 128 mb of internal memory, no official upgrades and i loved cm. So it was all worth it.
Looking at Note2 it a better looking version of cyanogenmod. (off-course will a few features missing). Although i was used to reflashing my Desire every month, i havent found any substantial reason for rooting NOTE2. It has regular updates biggass memory and HDD. very fast CPU
Only thing i miss is a more powerful flashlight (Torch) and a stock 5x5 TW launcher (i am using go launcher now to leverage the screen real estate). So apart from this and that i've heard Gmail 4.2 has pinch and zoom. I havent heard of any substantial gains by rooting NOTE2.
Please list what are the advantages of rooting NOTE2. i know the advantages of rooting in genral. i am specifically talking of note 2. Also i dont want to you all to list advantages like nandroid backup CWM recovery etc. since my contacts sms / call logs and apps are already being backed up at google / dropbox / Evernote.. I am loking for something substantial.

I have a post questioning the same thing.

The Note 2 will be the first phone I don't root. There's really no need, IMO.
The Samsung software with it's S-Pen features is a bit too complex to trust "ROM chefs" and such. I'll just enjoy it as-is.

Also other fonts and "adfree" are reasons for me

Thanks for the quick response. Specially the link. Most folks on the thread state that custom roms or even root has not been a great benefit to them in case of Note2. i do not need the above functionality you mentioned since the only reason i need vpn / ssh is to connect to work. Which i do from my laptop. But i will be on the look out for anything that pops up. Thanks again

My reason for rooting ANY android phone is...
Adaway
I'm sick and tired of flashing custom roms because I have found that after playing around with stock roms, I revert back to "stock firmware" anyway. So i just stick to stock samsung firmware. There really is no need to root for other than getting rid of the adds (i use adaway).

1. Titanium backup
2. Nandroid Backup
3. Debloat the rom with stuff i don`t need with ROMCleaner
4. Adblocking
5. Flashing mods like increae incall volume, brightess.
6. Flashing stock firmware and keep root with Mobile Odin
7. Raise the readahead values to load up apps, webpages, and other stuff faster
8. Overclock for performance or undervolt the kernel to save power.
Other users might also have other reasons so enough reason to do it i guess

Also to increase the internal storage by switch the external sd card with phones internal memory so making bigger internal memory.

The Note 2 is not out in the US yet (I'm so tempted to buy the International version) but when I do get it I plan on rooting it for Titanium Backup and Ad Free and a lot of root apps that I use but I don't see a point in flashing a custom ROM on it.. Its so perfect without it.. Wish it came with Tablet mode.. I love having my status bar at the bottom of my screen...

+1. In my opinion, this is ultimately the only reason for rooting - all the rest can be done in other ways.
However, some applications like orange cinema series (in France) check if the telephone is rooted - if so they won't work. Ultimately, rooting is becoming a very debatable benefit today - up to the next release of Android 5.0 on the New S5 processor. At that moment, i am sure that Samsung will delay updates as much as they can, since the hardware improvements become more marginal (with the exception, of course, of LTE) and therefore a differentiating factor between latest models and 1 year old devices. And then, all back to AOKP and CM27...
I say this by experience: my galaxy S I9000 works like a charm with Jelly Bean, and it would still be a froyo telephone if i would follow ORANGE F....

Do you really need more than 11 gig of internal memory? Assuming you transfer move your songs videos and other pictures etc in ur external.. why do you need more than 11 gb of internal?

Needs a root for things like sixaxis controller. Pretty cool to be able to use a wireless PS3 DualShock controller to play your favorite games.

For me the most important thing about rooting is themes, i hate stock theme(grey windows etc) and i love transparent status bar, other things wich pusch me to go for a root is basicly posibility to remove stock apps, custom kernels wich give u better performance and battery life and offcorse for my mod sd2extsd wich give u oportunity to save more things on ur phone(games and apps)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I'd have to say solely for themes and removing bloatware with a custom rom to get the most of the ram availability.

11GB is tiny - particularly if you want a coupe of good games (you know you do lol) - apart from the 1-2GB of physical space the app takes (even when storing saves etc on SD) INSTALLING them takes more space and many require several more gigs ONLY during the install process (presume for unpacking etc) so you have to leave a couple of giggs free - leaving you with 8-9GB of usable space - not a lot.
If you use no games at all I agree 11GB might just do but other apps will fill it quick - eg: snote stores all its notes in internal SD (only small but multiply a few notes a day x a couple of years - it all adds up)
My friend has a 16GB SGNI - NO GAMES, but any medical apps (each 20-200M) and he's struggling for space
I just don't want to be limited (that's the whole reason I'm leaving ios for my mobile)

Ad blocking, and Nandroid alone are the main reasons why I rooted my phone..... there's also lucky patcher.....

I think you are confusing rooting with loading up a rom. Rooting is a must for a lot of users who want to customize. For example, let's say you want to use an NFC tag in your car to turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth and turn on GPS. This will work fine all the way up to the GPS part, which requires rooting to make it automated.
As others mentioned, titanium backup and other software needs it as well.
Rooting unlocks possibilities, it isn't loading CM.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Don't worry about rooting until you find a need for it (get tired of ads, overclocking or just a general love for tweaking the build.prop file or any of the various apps requiring root access). Until then, just enjoy your phone

Advantage of rooting galaxy note 2
One of the advantages of rooting Galaxy note 2 is that it will start ready NTFS hdd and usb on-to-go....

It's not really necessary to root this phone in my opinion. Amazing phone and the first one I've owned which has left me wanting for nothing.

[APP] [4.2] [ROOT & No ROOT] [Launcher] SOS Ultra Power Saver Launcher

I would like to share my app with you. I can share the app with one person to test the app for me on Moto G. Please send me a PM
The app link on the playstore is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webzler.soslauncher
Description
This is a homescreen replacement that has an Ultra Power Saving Mode for your phone to help you extend battery life when you are running out of charge. This launcher allows up-to 4 apps on the home-screen.
What this app does:
1. Kills all running apps and services.
2. Disables WiFi, Data.
3. Shows Missed Calls and Missed Messages.
Ultra Power Saving Mode:
4. OLED Mode for AMOLED devices.
5. Changes governor to Powersave mode. (requires ROOT Access)
6. Disables 2 cores of a Quad core phone. (requires ROOT Access)
7. Reboot during exit. (requires ROOT Access)
When your phone goes below 15% battery, the app shows alert to clear the defaults for your current launcher. After clearing, set SOS Launcher as the default homescreen, and the app would take care of the battery. Once you quit the app, it would clear itself as the default launcher and you can start using your favorite launcher back.

I will surely give it a try

Thanks for sharing, will give a try too

Sounds like a Novel Idea. I definitely see some great Potential here. FWIW, Launchers with small footprint would be a great place to save Battery. This is why even today [APP] Zeam Launcher has lots of takers. Perhaps you can take that code as your baseline since the project is closed.
Two points I see as potential issues.
You can't Kill all the apps to save Battery. This is not Windoz and it doesn't work that way. You will chew up more battery as the apps initiate a new session. There are way too many discussions around XDA on Task Killers. Suffice it to say that OOM RE-Prioritization is a better way.
Shutting down core and changing Governors is a splendid idea. But that would actually assume the kernel in question actually supports that governor and has HotPlugging enabled ? On that note, Frequency throttling might be an idea.

Please can someone just attach the APK file?

Tips on getting rid of lags

I have had my European G3 for a couple of days and what's getting me off is the small (and sometimes bigger)
lags here and there. Its probably mostly up to LGs skin a and apps but I rather not starting out using Nova because I think the functions are pretty good.
Right now the darn keyboard is lagging precisely that the ripped variant did on my M8, darn lag....
Anyone got any tips. So far I've tried:
1. Reset. Works for a while ...
2. Root n freeze n grenify. Well, it's lagging
So? Anyone with the same experience and maybe a fix?
Edit. I think I've got some of of the lag away.
So far I've tried the following:
1. Root
2. Greenify
3. Changed read ahead etc with trickster
4. Changed minfree and applied som launcher tweaks
5. Developer settings stuff
6. Other than that adfree, probably at a cost
The launcher and apps is now feeling a bit snappier and the battery should not be worse at least.

In developer's options either scale animations to 0.5 or off completely, see if it works

Trouble is it seems to get hot very easily

Weird. I haven't gotten any lags or stutters with mine.
Only bug happened was when I wake the phone it instantly locks it again. So I just restarted it and everything is fine.

Maybe try swiftkey? It's free and I love it with my Note 2 - especially the ability to control how long a long press is for numbers etc. Let me know how it is if you do, since I plan on using it with the G3.
Also, maybe something like Greenify will help hibernate more background processes and make it heat up less and free up the CPU?

I find lag on first day of use. Didnt install any app yet.
I think it was way over bloated with carrier app. Try disable a few with titanium backup. It seemed to help alot in my case.

I guess you haven't used an S5. That thing is ridiculous.

After using my LG G3 a couple of days I'll say it lags about the same as the S5 did before the first two updates. You have to give it to Sammy, they did try to fix it pretty quick. The problem is more that their ui lags in the first place.
