I just read about the benifits of minfree handler and got an app named autokiller memory optimiser from the market .
Can anyone tell me wht settings to configure in order to set minimum ram as 280mb?
I tried different combinations but my ram seems to keep going below thevvalue i set..

The minfree values are being configured by the Supercharger script. Try the built in modes or make your own minfree configuration. It's a Bourne shell script, not a pdf, just uploaded with a pdf extension.
Thanks but i already got an app that dies the job ..all im wondering is about the correct setting ..

Androids minfree is very advanced, your goal should be a smooth transition regardless of what you're doing. We have 512MB of RAM, that's alot relative to the rest of the O1 hardware.
Most of these minfree apps have predefined settings. Start with a middle of the road setting. If you find your phone lagging due to limited memory chose a more aggressive setting. If regularly used apps are taking to long to load, and performance is otherwise unchanged then choose a less aggressive setting.
My current settings are 2048,3072,4096,7168,9728,12800 = midrange
Common more aggressive settings would be 1536,2048,4096,15360,17920,20480
I'm using optimum (40,50,60)....ill increase later today to see if there's any changes..I'm not using supercharger scripts right now, personally because I never thought I had a need for em but the minfree app is amazing

may i know how do we change the value for minfree if not using any apps or script?
directly edit the below line in init.rc file?
Code:
write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192

I think that's the line. But i think it's better to use script...

Starting with android 2.2 the task killers are useless

use AutoKiller memory management. It isn't really a normal task killer but selectively raise the kill priority value (oom) of most apps so the OS kills them sooner. Since it is just an interface for changing values and wont run in the background it wont drain battery or CPU. You can also open the app and manually kill apps if you need to.

What were your memory limits set at?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I dont bother with any of that stuff anymore.
The 2.2 ROM i am running at the moment does all that for me. Well almost. 2.3 did that even better when i ran that rom by rdanner.

I use 150,200,250 as the last 3 settings and it works perfectly for me. Some people think those values are too high and could cause problems with some widgets but it never changed the values of any widget dependant services for me and I havent had any problem in at least 3-4 months of usage.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
If you got AutoKiller and havent figured it out yet you can press the processes tab at the top to see a list of all running apps, just click one to kill it. This will also show the oom value for each as well as which is the kill priority value. The higher the oom value the higher the priority to kill it when the system needs to recoup ram, the lower the value the less likely it is to be killed. Ive noticed that even with the high values I use, any process or service that relates to the system functions or widgets I have has a value that hasnt changed and remains at 1 or even in the negatives.
Despite what people say I have had instances where I need to kill apps that get hung up (like the browser sometimes and every once in a while a root app gets stuck while verifying permissions) and the OS wont kill it automatically, so I do use it to kill apps occasionally.

+1 for SetCPU
frrst of all ever developer i have came across talks about using set cpu and it has specific version for xda community for free )try and top that )
2nd it has much more options then just over/under clocking and over/under volting.
3rd i havent found any problems with it yet so dont look for any other alternatives yet so hope this helps u with decision making.

SetCpu pwns.
-Yo momma's so stupid she finds iOS complicated.-
I like setCPU but when I slide the max cpu to 1000 and I reopen setcpu it jumps to 1300... I tried CPU tuner today and it has scaling and gives you a ton of option settings. I going to try it out for a while.
Im using no-frills
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
I have tried both of those,but I have had better results and prefer the interface and options of System Tuner
I previously used setcpu but after recommendation for voltage control app in Siyah thread I started using it but it doesn't seem to remember my settings after reboot even after upgrading to latest version of voltage control extreme. I want to ask is there any reason that voltage control is better than setcpu?

Are you sure you saved the profile and boot settings?
Fix the settings that you want. It will ask you to apply changes or discard. click on apply. then press menu button and you will have three options...you should choose save on boot. press that and then come out. reboot your phone. wait for the phone to reboot and then load up for a few minutes. go back into voltage control and all your settings will be saved. let me know how you get on
in the folder system/etc/init.d There are other scripts that block the script Voltage Control. I cleared the folder and began to work.

Then you deleted scripts of kernel and your rom. Do you leave vc to load up upon boot before you go into it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I beleive vc is more efficient

Voltage Control is better.. you can customize almost everything with nice interface and easy to use.. regarding the setting, yes, you should hit menu -> select save as boot settings..

yep thanks....hmmm did a search, no one trying to optimize the ram?
If you don't know what your doing i wouldn't mess with tuning those values. Find a kernel with modified lowmem killer depending on what forum section you are using (tmo sprint, etc.) Most have it

i am using swapper 2 can anyone tell me what swap size and swappiness actually means..? (in simple language)
also for smoothest performance of phone what should be the values ?( i dont care about the sd life )
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Swappiness
Swap size should be rather self explanatory. How much space do you want to devote to your swap file?
I don't use the app myself so I can't recommend any values for you. You'll just have to try it out for yourself, based upon what you read in the link I provided.
I also have zram installed so do i relly have to use swapper or does zram solves the purpose.?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Everybody using Traveller DSC has zRAM swap enabled.
zRAM is faster than Swapper because the cache is in device memory, resulting in faster I/O. Using Swapper may help if you need extra RAM, but I/O is slower because you're writing and reading from a slower medium.
I personally don't think Swapper is necessary, especially with zRAM enabled.
