Hey guys, there are several application in Play Market that are either related to a specific kernel (a manager app) or a ROM (like Darky's ROM app from the days of Gingerbread and Froyo), or useful apps like ROM Toolbox
But how many apps of that kind are there and how are they named?
What I suggest is to create a full list of such applications, divided into few categories like "Kernel specific", "ROM specific", "ROM customization", and so on.
Only ones I know are:
ROM Manager (and the PRO version)
Goo.im manager
ROM Toolbox (and the PRO version)
TricksterMod (for kernel management)
Direct Play Market links for the apps are also welcome
I think this is a great idea. But you might want to include the creator/developer for each as well.

Nope, because "root app" is meaningless except being a prerequisite.
Although above post has some point I'll chime in with some very useful apps:
-Greenify It lets you hibernate apps when screen is off to save battery.
- Systemcleanup. Helps a lot to update system apps and eliminate them also. It's also good to clean cache.
- Orange backup. Makes nandroid backups without having to reboot to recovery and also has the ability to upload them to google drive etc... It has support for both TWRP and CWM.

I have Xperia Arc S (Lt18i)..
Installed Atomic GB 7, and I noticed that the TOTAL RAM (free+used) is only 250MB..
Is it normal depending the apps I used?
Previously, using the same apps combination, using Xperia Ultimate HD 3, the TOTAL is 350MB..
Emm something wrong?
Emm, btw, I modded this ROM :
- the framework and systemUI, decompiled it and recompiling again..
- I deleted many, really many system apps.. This is what I remember :
* GoogleCalendarSync
* CoreNotificationPublisher
* NotificationsProvider
* ContactsImport
* Gmail
* Talk2
* Textinput
* Widgets
* AudioEffectService
* etc
Does this 2 factors affecting the TOTAL RAM?
Screenshots in the attachment..
Please help guys..
Did you installed the Atomic GB's Arc S patch? http://d-h.st/DVY
I think you did a mistake while flashing rom or missed something. I use atomic v7 with stock kernel on my arc, total ram is about 320-330mb and there is no lag. Flash stock ftf and root & cwm then try re flashing rom with reading installation.
The arc S patch is already there.. Emm, btw, I modded this ROM :
- the framework and systemUI, decompiled it and recompiling again..
- I deleted many, really many system apps..

Then you should have stated that in your OP, so the fact that others aren't having the same problems, the issue is YOU, and without listing every change you have made, it's kind of hard to help you figure out your experimentation.
First you need Root Explorer app. Go to C:\System\apps folder. Press the "Mount R/W" button on the upper right side of the screen. Delete apps you don't need. For example Gmail or Exchange service.
Warning: Don't delete apps you don't know what they are. The most critical apps are there and if you delete them you're device may misbehave.
Why don't you want to switch to JB? There you have still ~300 Mbyte RAM, and your phone is much smoother (just my opinion).

System apps folder contains application that use ROM..not RAM..
What you were explaining is to increase the size of ROM but not the RAM.. CMIIW..

Yes, I mean the RAM.. not internal memory.. I stated in the OP, I deleted many system apps already.
Is JB worth to try? Is it smoother than stock GB? I hardly can believe that JB is smoother, because naturally JB needs dual core and 1GB ram..

i tried JB once before and never wanted to try it anymore. Maybe because i chose wrong/still underdevelopment ROM. :laugh:
I can't say which one is smoother though as it really depends on what apps you have.
Personally i use the UHD ROM by jader13254 and it's working really good and smooth.
Android uses some of the RAM, you just don't see it.
I recommend controlling your app's autoruns, can be modified in Autorun Manager or Autostarts in Playstore. there's no problem in removing system apps. I uninstalled also Market Updater, Search Applications Provider(20MB Ram-used for ads, recommendations to you by play store), AccessoryKeyDispatcher, i don't remember others
Apps I also removed but not really advisable: Customization Settings, DownloadAgent, UserAgentProvider, Customized App Installer
or If you want higher ram, adjust vm.dirty_ratio=70, vm.dirty_background_ratio=50, vm.vfs_cache_pressure=10. (higher ram but laggy, i recommend dirty_ratio to be 95 and dirty_background_ratio=60)
I have LT15i and my phone can play Dungeon Hunter 4, Bladeslinger, MC4 with no lag and no oc.
Hello,
I'm using baliboxer's GENNXT ROM (Build num: XUBMHD, Baseband Version XUBMF2) in my GT-I9082
I've just installed very minimum user apps( 651 MB out of 4GB intrenal memory, this includes GAPPS too) and i've not installed a single game.
I'm using ROM ToolBox Pro to define the apps that has to be run on the background( which,i believe,is similar to using 'Greenify')
But my device eats up too much RAM to the extent that i do not even find 100MB of free RAM space out of 804MB.
This makes my device too laggy and i cant navigate gallery and camera app (though no FC in any of the app).
I'm a complete noob, so plz guide me to make my device better.
Waiting for ur suggestions guys!!!

Firstly, you can and you should "Turn off"/disable, if not uninstall, any app like SVoice, Samsung Apps, Google+ etc that you don't use (please dont remove the apps without icons/names like com.Something, that you don't know what it does), even if they came preinstalled with the ROM. You can do this by going to Settings>Applications>swipe to the right till you are on All Applications, just scroll through here and disable them if you dont need them. This will let them be in your system without letting them start up at all by any app until you enable it.
Secondly, ROM ToolBox is NOT similar to Greenify. ROM Toolbox is a heavy app with a LOT of triggers that can make itself run all the time in your phone. ROM Toolbox does offer you to select permission alteration for each app, but it doesn't actually stop them after they are executed already, which is why I avoid installing ROM Toolbox now, but that's just my opinion.
This is something Greenify beautifuly covers. You can select all apps, (excluding the one you use to keep you updated like Phone, messaging, whatsapp, googleplay etc). They will have smooth unaltered functionality when you open them but they will not run in the background (which is the main reason for your RAM usage). And best of all, Greenify only uses 3.7~4Mb RAM to keep your apps in check with no triggers except to start a process on boot.
You can use several memory cleaners but honestly you won't need them if you do both the above things right.

Thanks for the suggestion, i've tried them, hope it yeilds better results.
Hi experts,
is it better to have CM10.2 (e.g.) in ODEXed form?
There is still empty space in the system ROM (not to mention the unused /preload partition) to hold the .odex files. It will save space in the Dalvik cache and might reduce duration of first start after ROM update.
Are there advantages of ODEXed roms? Maybe faster program start, less RAM consumption?
Are there disadvantages (themeing/modding)?
What would be a safe way to create the ODEXed rom?
I appreciate your help!
Regards,
Klaerchen
The an odex script in dev forum. For advantages search google. Basicly its almost the same boot time as deodexed. Disadvantages is no theming etc. Google it

I set dexopt.data-only (not exact name) to 0 in build.prop so that dex goes in /cache instead of wasting space in /data
Would someone please explain System and User apps and apps that best belong in System or User. Also, once moved do they survive a rooted system update process?
Thanks
