Manage XDA Orbit RAM

Is there nyway of managing my RAM as it constatnly seems to show only 10M free, but there is nothing that I can see as running. Is there anyway of freeing up RAM on this thing?

Also curious as to just where my 23.7mb of ram after soft reset disappears to. After a few hours in my pocket I only have 19. Not a great loss I know, but where does it go? Active sync is scheduled to manual so that isn,t it.

I have deleted all /lnk in startup folder except those I deem essential. Even deleted the o2c.lnk. I also have set Activesync to manual, and have no running programs and no connections active or Wifi/Bluetooth active, yet am still left with on average 10-14M free out of 48M ?? What can be taking up over 30M of RAM ??
I haveused a few registry tweaks (cache increase etc.) and have OmapClock to up my CPU and although my PDA is alot faster, I would still love to know what background proggies could be sapping this much RAM.

A question to ask is does it actually matter?
Sure I would like to know as well as my Orbit is also sitting around 10mb. However, this does not seem to affect performance or stop anything running. Has the OS just cached previously run applications to make launching faster, hence the memory is only released when actually needed?

I also have a similar problem.
After sof reset my Orbit shows around 22Mb Program memory.
This then slowly decreases even down to 2Mb.
A soft reset brings it back to 22Mb.
I have also tried SKtools to FreeUp RAM, but this ususally only releases a couple of MB.
Any idea anyone ?

[Q] Words With Friends - SGS2 Killer ?

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

[App] Dumpster - a recycle bin

I'm not related to the developers in any way, just wanted to provide some info for you guys about this must to have app.

it does exactly what it says:
if a file been deleted by accident or you decided to keep some photo you took but after deleting it ... with this app you will be able to simply restore it back.
tested it on my HOX, my wifes' SGS1, and it works just great !

give it a go, its a mandatory application on every android device !

But does it have a black hole like on PC? Once I had 100 GB hard disk and I had around 300 GB with **** in recycler bin. Does it work here too?

haven't noticed any additional directories on the storage after deleting some files... so i think that the "black hole" is not present here.

Windows doesn't delete any files it just makes the space the data is store as "writable" and all "writable" space is shown as "free space" in windows even if there is actually data stored there, the reason behind you being able to recover files after they have been deleted.
Also you can't have a 100 GB disk and "around 300 GB" of data stored in writable space just can't happen, unless you mean 1000 GB..... and even still that 300 GB of "****" would be classed as writable so the operating system will just write over it when that time comes.

[Q] Does my phone have a hardware failure, getting lots of reboots.

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)

RAM usage with custom ROM on clean install

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!
