You can remove any unwanted services that run in the background, or freeze apps using titanium backup until you actually use them (I freeze face book and voodoo when not in use)

if it would decrease I had no problem and wouldn't open this new thread! It's about 50 hrs that it hasn't decreased a bit.
Android only closes the cached processes when needed.
I know how android's auto RAM management works, but it doesn't work as it should IMO.
I'm using android for 2 years and yet to find a solution for this other than rebooting the device, and it only solves it for couple of hours of heavy usage.

I noticed the same problem. The low RAM is the main reason for most of the system and app lags. When the free RAM is above 70MB, the system is pretty smooth, but after half-day usage, it drops to <40MB and it becomes very laggy. I really hate some apps, cuz once you open them, they never quit from the RAM like facebook, google +, etc..
To keep free memory art a certain value, you have to set the value of low memory killer, here is a script from semaphore kernel that sets free memory to 64 mb. There are many such scripts around. Place script in init.d directory if your kernel supports this, oh, and make it executable.

I use the V6 SuperCharger from the first link. It works awesom . With the V6 SuperCharger you do a custom setting where you can choose how much free Memory you have. One last thing, i would stay away from task killers. They tend to use more Memory then they actually save. Most of the time they kill processes that need to be running. Then those processes have to restart using even more Memory.

Hi everybody, as I have updated my phone to 2.1, I find it a bit laggy. I'm asking for your help to improve performances and get it smoothier.
Can anyone tell me which are the best settings for Autokiller to gain speed and improve battery life? I didn't found something obvious and really need to get it smoothier.
Regards.
Sent from my rooted 2.1 X10i using XDA App
Also on this - I use TaskPanel - whenever I do a Kill All - it kills the SIM Card and restarts GSM services.
Anyone else seen this?
Otherwise I have the usual set to AutoKill - ignoring anything to do with Clocks, SetCPU, Widgets & Live Wallpaper.
Seems to kill a good 100+mb every time I press it.
edit: hope thats not a hijack
Maybe should you add stckappservice + datatrafixexcepmms + bluetoothheadsetservice processes to your ignore list. (Backupandrestore too)
OK so with ATK I'm always around 160 mb free Memory and many processes come back wathever I do : useragentprovider + custmizationprovider, etc...
Have someone a list of processes which are safe to uninstall and some settings for Autokiller? I really need to get faster and than it was on 1.6.

I've not bothered installing one on 2.1 and found no reason to. The battery life has been significantly increased and although it started off a bit laggy it's smoothed it's self out now.
The following tools really help:
System Panel - monitor what drains battery/cpu time and then decide to throw that app out.
SetCPU - Just make sure to not restrain the cpu too much in hopes of saving that last percent of batt-life, it makes the system lag (ie. lowest while screen off makes the lock-screen/call-screen when turning it back on lag)
Autostarts - control what starts up on events (ie. Startup, battery power level change, etc) helps keep a lot of stuff from unnecessarily checking whether they need to do something.
AutoKiller Memory - Set a Ram-Profile in there. It'll kill tasks that aren't visible/high priority in case the ram gets too low/some other app needs the ram.
Good advise would also be: Don't use Task-Killers whenever you can avoid it. If an app drains too much battery: look for an alternative.
Killing all kinds of apps can do one of two things: either they start up automatically again or they start up on demand again. In both cases a well-coded app that doesn't suck batteries dry will use more batt re-starting and loading everything back into ram than it would if it just stayed there idle. And it'll remove lag by a lot.
Ram is getting powered either way. Use the ram you have. Mine's running constantly below 60MiB of free Ram (usually around 50) and it doesn't experience any lag.
What you also might want to look into is removing useless stuff that SE installed that'll just suck cpu-cycles every chance it gets.

Kill process every 30 min (differt setting possible)
U can choose task that don't want kill (exclude list)
Works perfectly.

Hi All,
I came across a few articles online that suggest that the task managers/killers actually do more harm than good. As far as I know, the Android OS is pretty good at multitasking and managing apps when it is needed to free RAM/CPU.
Would like to hear input specifically regarding the X10 and how these apps affect the system and/or phone specially after the 2.1 update?
Thanks!
Well aince I got to 2.1 Ive havent found the need to download a task killer. Its been stable with 100-140mb constant no matter how many apps I open. But in 1.6 I was getting 20mb if I didnt use task killer lol im guessing the need for task killer as the os upgrades gets less and less as 2.2 really gets ****ed by it lol
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I've read online about how closing some apps such as mediascape will affect your other media applications cos these services are tied together. But I've always killed all of the ones I don't see myself needing in the next hour or so, and nothing's ever really crashed for me heh.
But I do make it a point to close all apps before running quadrant. Very very pleased with my 730 score

Dumb question, how do you check the RAM?
Best get something like autokiller memory optimizer.
You generally don't need much ram free and if you don't use apps that will eat the hell out of your system in the bg then there's no problem at all.
I haven't used a task killer since switching to 2.1 and there's no performance problems.
I still facing ram problem even after upgrade 2.1, hope no need any task killer anymore once we get 2.2

Not sure if the X10 will get 2.2. Looks like 2.1 is the end of the road for us.
By automatism, after I updated to 2.1 I installed advanced task killer, and at one point I noticed that, whean I had killed apps ammount of free RAM decereased ? So at that point, I uninstalled task killer to check will I notice any change in performance, and there was NONE I could notice, together with same battery duration.
So, so far I vote for no task killers.

Yeah I know we have custom ROMs. I was referring to the official update from SE. I know we will get the UXP update sometime in the future but, not sure if they will go as far as releasing a 2.2 update for the X10?
I don't use it anymore since on 2.1, when using it on 2.1 there's a lot of glitches and it DOES do more harm than good. I get better overall performance without it.

Yes but, according to Android developers, 2.1 automatically closes these idle programs to prevent that. They claim that android is capable of handling this and that any task manger apps are useless.
Read this article http://androinica.com/2010/05/07/go...-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/
Since upgrade to 2.1, I installed Task Killer. It cleaned my memory to have available mem from 80MB to 150MB. However, it got some weired behaviour such as
- X10 got lag for a moment when the screen is just back on.
- when the screen is just back on, Wifi cannot reconnect. I have to disable and enable it again.
So I read to post of Android multitasking and I try it by disable AutoKill but keep the widget on the sceen to see the available mem.
My mem keep available around 70-80MB and X10 performance is increase. No more lag or have to re-enable wifi after screen is back on.
I already remove Taskkiller but installed Watchdog instead. Because there are some bad coding software out there which comsume the battery and CPU even you've exited. In such a case, I have to kill those apps manually.
------------------------------------
X10i Generic Android 2.1, rooted, JIT enable.
You want the memory to be as full as possible!!! This means that those often used tasks are there, waiting. This is not Windows! Stop forcing Android to reload everything from scratch! No wonder things are lagging for you.
I've done many experiment about it.
Here's few conclusion, everything you guys claims are all true.
Android is nix base, fulfilling ram mean more cache, more speed.
However, more process mean more CPU usage in some service.
Some softwares are not properly coded, it, unfortunately, doesn't release the resource when it exits
And it's also true that force killing it, will eat more battery because without properly closing, it will eventually open up again
I suggest, instead of killing a task using ATK.
try this one.
http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller
It teaches android how to deal with the memory, so it's android who do your dirty job.
Hmm.... I take a look at at autokiller. I think it's better to let Android handle the mem for me. What I'm looking for is an apps that monitor backgound processes/apps that consumes CPU and memory which they should not.
Once identify those apps, I need to kill them individually.
Watchdog paid version suits me well on this purpose. I can put those apps in the blacklist. If they consumes more CPU in the background process, Watchdog will kill them automatically.
I may consider autokiller when I have of low memory warning from my X10 which is currently I have not.

Hi guys,
Need some help here.. I am currently on omega v35 with doggly theme and using persus kernel v29.2. My battery is draining very fast. Even on idle for 30minutes, it drop 2%. Is it because of the theme or setting for the kernel?
I had tried flashing back to stock and siyah but the drainage is even worst. Can anyone help me with this? Are there some setting sample for the tweaks which I can follow on? My ram usage is always constant at 700mb, are there any way to reduce it? Basically, I am using my phone for movie and some gaming like slotomania..
Hope to hear from you guys soon with some advice for me.. thanks.

Note that the drain might not real drain but caused by the need for the battery to recalibrate itself after some time.
Usually a full and uninterrupted charge-decharge-charge cycles solves those issues.
Please attach a _full_ and root-enabled log of betterbatterystats (free Version here on XDA) over at least 2-3 hours.
Also include a screenshot of the Android-integrated battery stats in fullscreen mode (without the app listing below)
That should be sufficient data to find the culprit

Dalvik always caches apps you opened in the past in the background and keeps them in a semi-frozen state (no CPU access but still in memory).
The reason is simple: it does not cost any power (RAM always costs the same, regardless of content) and it allows you to multitask between multiple apps.
Should an active app need more RAM it will automatically remove those old apps from cache.
In anutshell; simply don't care. Except if you have some apps that lock themselves in RAM and cause lags but that's not an issue of Android but rather the app itself.

Is it causing problems? If not, why worry about it? Android RAM management has ben discussed repeatedly, and low free memory typically should not be a problem. The OS is trying to use the available memory (having it free is kinda useless), and is pretty good at managing it between active tasks. But if you are having issues because of the low RAM, it's a different matter...

You could try using swap on your memory card. You would need to format and create a new swap partition on your memory card (never on internal memory!) and use a custom kernel that supports swap. Eg. Yank

You could try boeffla kernel which provides zram (fast in memory swap) this along with greenify will provide enough free ram to enable much better multitasking

This issue has been discussed over and over again. I recently posted my opinion in an other thread. Anyways, i am pasting my response here, so that you can read what i have done with my phone to improve multitasking.
The truth is that although the stock touchwiz roms offer stuff like multi-window, they are really REALLY laggy in my opinion. I once decided to flash a cm10.1 (aosp) based rom. I haven't regretted since. I felt as if i had a completely new phone. I suggest you try such a rom. you wont regret it.
Also, there are some apps that allow you to freeze background processes. I use Rom Toolbox pro for example and i have frozen many background apps so I've reduced the amount of ram being used. Search on xda, there is a thread about which backgroung services are safe to be frozen.
Also, use greenify. Greenify stops apps from running in the background when you dont need them. Maps for example keep running in the background consuming 20mb for no reason. Greenify such apps so that they consume your ram only when you need them to do so.
Plus, change your LMK settings. The Low Memory Killer is an android service that kills apps when the amount of ram falls beneath a limit. Use an app such as Rom Toolbox to lower your limits so that apps don't get closed so often.
Finally, try zram with the appropriate settings. I use Googy-Max kernel which has bult-in zram support. I use 600mb of zram with 80% swappiness.
Having these things altered i can run at least 5 apps simultaneously without any problems. For example i run facebook and messenger along with whatsapp and skype. When i open the browser to search for something, none of the other apps gets closed.
Ofcourse if you try to run many apps, you may experience app-closing or lags. But remember, the key, is to close apps that you dont need.
