Hey guys,
My Lumia 640 was running slow on Windows 10. It seemed like my apps were always closing and taking forever to reload.
The default page file settings regardless of the amount RAM in the phone is locked at 256MB. Where the persistent storage is also flash memory, writing to the page file shouldn't cause any major slowdowns.
I used interop tools and the data located at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912851(v=winembedded.5).aspx to set the minimum size to 128MB and the maximum size of the page file to 768MB. The results were immediate!
Thinking it was a fluke, I rebooted my phone, and I noticed that it starts much faster now, too! As always, ymmv, but post your results in this thread if it helps!
Additional Info:
1. Setting the location of the page file to anything other than "u:\pagefile.sys" will cause storage sense to display a virtual memory size of 0 MB. To verify that your change worked, enable MTP Root Access in Interop Tools, plug your phone into a pc, and then navigate to the location of the new page file and verify that it was created.
2. Don't set the max size of the page file to be larger than the amount of free space available in the "apps and games" area of the phone. Setting the max limit too close to the amount of free space will cause crashes as the apps will lose "breathing room".
Edit 2:
After playing with this for a while, I discovered that the phone prefers a static page file. The settings that gave me consistently good results without crashing was to move the pagefile to the system partition (c:\pagefile.sys) and to lock it at 512 512. I am on rs1.
There appears to be an rs1 bug that if the memory usage goes beyond a certain number, the phone will become unstable. This is unrelated to the page file adjustment. How do I know? My brand new Alcatel IDOL 4S with Windows 10 gets wonky if I open too many apps. It has 4GB or RAM that is OS limited to 3.5 GB.

That's cuz people are dumb....the trick is to make it dynamic and let the OS resize it as needed. Locking the page file to a static size isn't even recommended by Microsoft, so I'm shocked they do it with Windows phone...
The system partition is also very tiny, so if a large pagefile is desired, the path should be modified from u:\pagefile.sys to u:\Data\pagefile.sys.
U:\ is already mapped to the data partition, so there is no need to change this.
Also, never NEVER move the pagefile to an SD card. That's just asking for trouble....

Lumia 640 XL come by default with 256 256 page size. So ask microsoft why.

I'm wondering about the performance of apps after such action and crashes among heavy apps like facebook??

It will do that for two reasons:
1. You changed the location of the page file to something other than "u:\pagefile.sys". If you change it, the size will stop showing up in storage settings.
2. You set the minimum size of the page file to "0".

Well i have finally succeed to change the page file. After all the struggle i can confirm that Lumia 640 it's more snappy than ever.
Facebook app still loading slow or ending with a crash.(Facebook it's on sdcard, messenger on phone)
I have only one bug with the lock screen display not displaying correctly on wallpaper or not displaying the wallpaper.
I have attached some screenshots. Enjoy !
If you have any question please don't hesitate.
Used Interop Tools RC3 with dependencies.
Renamed "u:\pagefile.sys 256 256" to "u:\pagefile.sys 1024 1024"

UPDATE#1: 512 1024 works fine. I have 2 gigs of internal mem free though.
UPDATE #2: 1024 1536 works fine. Now Facebook and Messenger can coexist on internal storage, and both work fine. Much, much better than before. Happy.
If this is a placebo effect, I don't mind.

Confirmed
When I change the string to 256 768, it shows VM as 0 bytes
Changed it 768 768
Now VM is 597MB
The device feels a little snappier
For anyone else looking on how to do this, I found this article on Windows Central that describes Interop Tools and how to go about using it.
http://www.windowscentral.com/interop-tools-windows-10-mobile
I've got interop tools installed and changing the value doesn't work. It stays the same (256). Any help?

AndroidCantral wrote yesterday an article about fine tuning android multi-tasking
about fine tuning android multi-tasking. They show a small tutorial to free some space using a MinFreeManager application.
Application discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5529436
I have tried this application in the aggressive preset setting and Galaxy was much faster and snippier with opening applications. It's running now for a day without any problems so far..
You do need root the Galaxy first!
Have anybody else tried this app?
I have been using this task killer.
Thanks for the info. Learn something new.
Will try later after I have completed charging my phone.
that program minfreemanager didnt work on my phone after reboot the file in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree was not updating.. got the program referenced in the thread called autokiller and that is updating the file on reboot correctly.
getting rid of the lag
Memory management helps (I use autokiller) but what really solved this annoyance
was moving the applications' data to the NAND (see http://android.modaco.com/content/s...298/got-the-stalling-problem-rooted-try-this/)
Its like a completely different device
One caveat is that the size of the NANDs is limited so you better know what you're doing and make sure that your /data/data dir is small enough to fit there
I am nervous about doing this since android is not designed that way. until paul or someone comes up for a fix so you dont have to reinstall os if you go over the limit.

Hi there,
in the googd old days when i was on board porting android to HTC Kaiser / Vogue we optimized the png files in the apks for the smaller resolution of the Kaiser/Vogue.
Due to the fact that the desire HD has a higher resolution than Desire, couldn't we optimize the new sense graphics, too?
So we could save more space and bring more things direct to the phone instead of the sd card which is slower than internal nand.
I found this:
http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/optimize-and-compress-png-files/
maybe it's a good starting point, next thing is that it would save ram on the device due to a smaller size...

Desire HD has a higher dpi as far as i know... correct me if i'm wrong

# Resolution: 480 X 800 WVGA
HTC Desire HD:

Has someone run the apks through OptiPng yet?

Might save a few tens of megs if you're lucky. I use this on my ROMs for hero, and it certainly saves a little space. And it's nothing to do with resolution etc, can't remember technical details but I think it's to do with compression of the png file itself. Certainly doesn't reduce quality AFAIK.
Thought I'd mention it in case someone wants to try it.
Well I made the ROM fit on the system partition, but I had to remove A LOT of stuff. (Laputa, all LWPs, the eReader, Adobe Reader, the Slate theme, some other apps I can't remember atm, basically all apps that can be downloaded through the market, some junk resource files and all libraries that are connected to the removed apps.)
After installing and setting up my accounts I replaced the HTC_IME (7MB) with the smaller (and better) HTC_IME mod (4MB).
I also odexed the remaining system apps and used a fusecompress init script to compress the dalvik-cache. (to save some space on /data).
All in all, it works great, but I'm sure optimizing the pngs would save even more space and improve the system's load/performance.
I'm already thinking about pre-compressing the framework files and mounting them using fuse on boot (like I do with the dalvik-cache).
running 191. MB ownhereHD Rom without extPart
SORRY SORRY SORRY I totaly got lost in the Tab jungel of my browser and posted this exidentaly here:
I am running the rom that ist urned into a flashable Zip by NeoPhyTe.x360
on my desire without having an ExtPartition at all.
I just got rid of the following:
live wallpapers + Wallpapers [Exept the 1 that is used on default]
Ringtones + Alarms [Exept the 1 that is used on default]
also I got rid of the thems that come with the new HD-Sense
in Programms I actually got rid of every prog that I dont use [Like, Carstuff, Stock, Flickr, a few widgets because I use others from the market anyway, etc,...]
and also all that I can get from the market
after flashing I had to install a few things that I need manualy
I am a total newbee when it comes to android system but I think if one just could strip the hole thing to the bones, with only Sense, and superuser and also delet everthing that we can get on the market it would become even smaler.

I didn't make a flashable zip file yet but df says I have around 2 MB left on /system.
If the system partition didn't have some bad blocks, I would've been able to get more things onto it.
Compressing the apks really helps. I've just finished compressing all of the apks in /system/app and /data/app coming from the Aurax ROM and added the ones that had been removed from the original Ownhere ROM. 120Mb got compressed to 94Mb . Right now i'm compressing framework-res and com.htc.resources.

I'm having troubles with the HTC Nav service though, can't get it to work..i restored the 4 apks (HTCLaputa, HTCLaputaInstaller,HTCLaputaWidget and LocationPickerLaputa) and libLaputaEngine.so, but it still fces on startup..do you have any clues?

I don't know exactly - But it seems as though there are some .apks that are co-dependent on each other. That's why you might get the FCs..
That's sweet dude. I've got the original ROM by ownhere and it's not laggy at all, though.
I've just managed to shave 20mb+ off without deleting anything.
I'm still working on reducing it further... give me until tomorrow and I'll release VillainROM's version
Hello everyone. I have the G4, and I just refreshed it yesterday - so I have very few apps. I downloaded the kdz from a pinned thread here, even though it said it was D, it flashed B or C. But it's OK, it updated to D all on its own.
Anyways, I opened an app and it said I had 500 mb free of RAM, which is fine. But I said "Hmm, I wonder, on a fresh install, what's eating my RAM?" so I went into the Apps in the settings and it said I have more than half my RAM free (1.5gb or so). Here is a screen shot. So then I downloaded another app and it reported the same thing, only 500mb free... I'm very confused.
A. Unused Ram = useless Ram. The more is being used the better (faster) the phone will be/react while using/opening apps.
B. Don't use Ram managers

Hi, thanks for the reply. But I wasn't complaining about it being used or unused. I'm asking about why my system reports one number, while an app (ram manager or not) reports another. As I mentioned in the OP, I was curious about what I had installed that could be using so much ram that any app reports, but the system doesn't. It's a discrepancy. Not a complaint. I'd just like to understand what's happening and which number is correct. :good:

Don't forget that a lot of memory is also being used for cache. This is something the stock Settings apps doesn't display when opening it.
See for an example in the first image my current memory usage using the stock Settings app, it's stated that approximately 900MB of memory is "free". When using a system tool this would probably result in a different, much lower, number.
That is because of the cached memory. Press the three dots in the upper right and let it also show the cached memory. And presto, there it is, a more "accurate" display of all the memory being used. The value shown now should reflect the aftermarket system tools memory usage as well :good:

It means about 1 gb of apps are setup as cached on fresh install. If you clear them you will get your 1gb RAM back.
question is why do it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/....google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.ramtruth
What does that report your free RAM as?
Thanks guys, that makes sense, and NOW I can see all the RAM hehe.
There is no reason to do it! Ram is there to be used. I just thought it strange to see on a fresh install with very few apps running to have that little free ram! Haha. Thanks guys!

need CustomPFD v06 and interop unlock
first check you default Virtual Memory by going to Storage -> internal memory -> system -> Virtual Memory
then go to:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagingFiles
change number in value to 512 512 or more
check you storage -> internal memory -> system -> Virtual Memory
does it change to 512 or not ?
if it messed up, im sorry you need to HardReset you Phone to bring default VM back

Thanks for the reply. I really hope something will change and finally we'll be able to adjust virtual memory to our needs and likes. Or maybe Microsoft implements an logarithm that does the job for us, who knows...
First step might be changing the name of this thread to more self-explanatory so that developers get more interested.
You can move pagefile to D:\
Hey guys, try moving the pagefile to D:\, it works for me lol!
Why I did this? I'm having some storage problems on my 535 lol! I can't update to the latest insider build even I uninstalled all apps on C:\ and move everything to D:\ lol!

If it works why you have 0 in virtual memory
The last time I did this, I always got loading and resuming screens even at the lock screen for 2 mins and I had to hard reset.
I had 1gb virtual memory btw.
I have my Galaxy Note 10 + for 11 months now, with 256 gb internal storage and 128 GB SD card and a few months ago I was notified that my internal storage space was almost full. It was very difficult for me to believe this, as I do not have nearly enough pictures to be taking that up (pictures and videos are routinely uploaded to Google Drive and are stored on external SD card), and all of my music is loaded onto an SD card.
I have cleaned recycle bin but something is getting piled up day by day reducing main storage of the phone base memory. When actually measured the folders account only 60 gb in base memory but there is very less free memory.
Looking at the storage analysis, the problem seems to come from a large amount of space being taken up in the "other" category, but I cannot figure out what is categorized under "other" or why it is filling. How do I identify these files and delete them if unwanted?
SD Maid Pro works great for me. I can confirm that it can delete files. Just did some storage management yesterday.

Good app...
The original samsung Device Care that was loaded with Pie cleans very well.
Don't update it... the new sanitized version sucks.
I put the phone in airplane mode when using it and keep it package block it otherwise. It's probably chinese spyware but works well if gagged, lol.
I use a tool called "DiskUsage". Try installing that from the play store and give it a shot...

Check browser caches/data etc.
Go down the line with all apps including system ones. Google is a hog. See who'd hogging the beef....
I use SD Maid Pro to clean, it does a good job.
Just about time to do a reload anyway. Be picky about the apps you put on the new load.

Use the file manager and sort by size, what's on top?
You need to manually hunt for it. Check app data especially Google's. SD Maid doesn't delete app data.
Get the Windows driver for it and view the Android on the PC. Play with it. Off load some of the files and watch how it behaves. Does internal memory unexpectedly keep being used up?
You can try clearing the system cache on the boot menu but I don't think it will help. Never hurts.
That copy sounds like it's getting old... maybe reload time anyway.
