Hi all,
recently i have this problem....i will explain one by one and someone can check out this matter.
I was running previously GingerDX v17 (the last version) and i had few apps to use. i did not use much apps and it was about 15-20 apps incl some games and more tools. and i use to perfectly switch from one app to another and if i return back i will get it correctly.
Ex: If i use Opera Mini and change it to PowerAmp and come back to Opera Mini i will fairly get my pages back and i can still listen to music at the same time...
Then yesterday (and two days ago) i installed lots of apps from the market. now after that installation my phone doesn't do the switching matter good.
Stats: (using Flame.E 0.4v now, apps moved to SD card [.android_secure] using Titanium Backup)
1. Currently there are about 60 apps listed in TB
2. 35-40 MB RAM is available
3. VM heap size is set to 32M (i dont know what that does so i don't touch it, keep in default everytime)
4. Most of the large and every app that is movable is moved to SD card.
5. Internal 34MB is free (total 222MB)
6. System ROM 22MB free (total 216)
7. SD card has 1.4GB free space (total 4GB)
8. At the moment i am using GO Launcher EX and some useful widgets and clock
Now i can't play music using PowerAmp and use Opera Mini at the same time.
It automatically closes and goes on using the foreground app.
So if i have to listen to music i have to keep the screen with PA and don't use any other app/game.
[ok i found the word now, multi-tasking]
i see this is not a custom rom matter so i will never blame anyone.
This is a U20i X10 mini pro, running Flame.E 0.4 by Eyama, have Kernel Zombie Panic 1.63.
Is this due to the apps im running? what shall i do?
Kind help is needed.
Thank you!

I have searched on numerous fronts but have never found the solution to my problem. The issue is, on the vibrant I have 2 GB internal memory for app installation, with 512 mb ram (I think) to run the apps, in addition to 16 GB of internal storage for files and what not.
However, having 1.4 GB 'app' memory free currently, whenever I install any further apps, some of the existing apps start to crash/restart whenever I need to use them. For example, I use LPP, and when I install some more apps on the phone, LPP homescreen icons disappear whatever action I do (open an app, use an app, etc), and then they reload for about 15-20 seconds when I go to the homescreen again. I have about 35-55 MB RAM free at any given time.
My question is, why give 2 GB app installation memory when you still cannot use it to install apps since they start giving you all sort of problems? I am running stock t-mobile eclair and have recently rooted my phone.
you know what, i think all you need is a task killer or clean your phone or something.. just find a way to free up some space.. 35-55MB is hella low.
Hmm, whats the normal free ram for stock 2.1 vibrant supposed to be? I have not tinkered around with my phone much so am wondering how it could have gotten low to that extent. All the apps that I use are also well known and from reputable developers...
Got any clues?
dunno when i was running 2.1 i was always at 80-120 free range with apps running..
try getting a task killer and kill all running apps..
also check settings > applications > running services > tap and kill processes you dont need running
This still does not answer my question about why there is 2 GB of app memory available...? regardless of RAM..?

Yeah, but then what about what I wrote in my first post? It does not make sense if you can 'theoretically' install 2 GB worth of apps but renders the phone useless in function?
Anyone who is actually using close to 2 GB worth of memory for apps on vibrant/Galaxy S?? Would love to hear what you have to say.
I didn't install any big s/w,game.
I think its the dalvik cache.
I cleaned it yesterday after rooting my X10i.
Should i clean it regularly ?
If not then is there a method to move my "installed apps" to SD Card and will it have any effect on performance ??
don't worry about it.. it's not a problem.. that's how android works...
During the day and using your phone your memory gets less and less.....
I use Advanced Task killer (free, in market) to kill tasks/apps I don't need, and that stops the dropping of the memory a bit, it takes care about losing your memory not too fast...
Then sometimes I use Fast Reboot (free, in Market) to reboot my phone (just the software, pretty fast working) once in a while when my memory is < 100. Then my memory is back at about 150 - 180 again.
And I use Startup Manager (free, in Market) to take care of apps that I don't need (e.g. Moxier Mail) don't start at booting my phone. Works also.
Hope I helped you a bit with this...

download "link2sd"

I think ur talking about RAM... the create of this thread seems to be talking about internal phone space.....
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
btw guyz is there any method to move the apps to sd card...??
@mrljlamon: if that's true, forget about it... coolsid8 should buy a larger SD-card, then....
@coolsid8: if you are on 2.2, you can use "Apps2SD" (Market) to replace your apps to your SD-card, but you have to have a larger SD-card first.... 2.1 can't run that app..
Success,

I am using nAa kernel 10 with MiniCM7-2.1.8 on my X10 Mini Pro with System theme. I use a PIN code for my SIM card. My SD-card is 16GB class 10 with 15.5GB FAT partition followed by 0.5GB EXT4 partition (for apps 2 SD)
My favourite apps that I have running most of the time are Swype, Keyboard Manager, TouchPal Dialer and MortPlayer. These all appear in my Running Services.
I have noticed that MortPlayer has been getting killed recently and I have noticed that Facebook and Maps are running all the time.
I think I am running out of memory and Android is killing MortPlayer. I have frozen Facebook and Maps with Titanium Backup to reclaim the RAM but this now means I have to unfreeze them to before I can use them. This is inconvenient.
At times I got down to 1.2MB RAM free. I had turned on CompCache to 18% but this did not solve all of my problems.
I read somewhere about moving the /data to /sd-ext (cache memory?) - this post is for an Arc but does the same principle apply? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333379).
As my SD card is a fast one can I make the SD card appear as extra RAM? I realise this would slow things down as a fast SD card still cannot beat RAM speed.
Is there any benefit in keeping my /sd-ext partition on my SD card? I thought it would enable me to store more apps on the phone and still be able to plug the SD card into my PC as a mass storage device (seeing the 15.5GB FAT) to copy music while still using the phone (apps being on the 0.5GB EXT4 partition).
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

In my opinion phones with EXT are much slower than normal phones, I talk from my experience. My phone was much slower after i created EXT particion.
To heve more free memory I recomend RAM Manager Pro and 256 swap and of course reformat the SD card with no EXY particion;]

RAM Manager bricked my phone after setting it up and it caused major FCs after installing every app.
RAM manager doesnt/cant brick phones.
ayhow, its not very effective. The most effective app for RAM conservation, after alot of browsing i can say, is Auto Memory Manager.
I get about 75+MB RAM with MiniCM7 2.1.8 with just the launcher running.[Adw ex]
The minimum ive seen with ALOT of multitasking is 40Mb. [Ive set it in such a way that when my RAM goes less than 35Mb, it starts killing hidden/empty/secondry server apps.]

i must say i tried both and i stay with ram manager pro! its amazing how smooth my phone is now! with over 40 mb free with different apps in the backround... i use balance(more free memory) settings which its more recommended to phones like ours... its even better than supercharger,and by now no forced closes or issues... i must say i use last kernel 10 minicm 2.1.8 ondemand 122/691 mhz and no more tweaks or scripts to improve performance,just thus wonderful ap, but ram manager pro,not the free one which does not have all availanle settings... one suggestion to the buddy who open this thread is to reboot the phone after appling the new setting im sure u will feel the difference ..hope to help!
I'm using minicm 2.1.8 with nAa kernel 10,and with ram manager pro 2.1.1. I always have 60mb or more of free ram. Just awesome apk.
Hi all ! + 1 Auto Killer Memory Optimizer ! I use it with miniCM 2.1.8 with nobodyAtall's Kernel and have , if only 360 launcher runs, around 70 free Ram. For me it's the best so far.

I use the Advanced Task Killer in Agressive mode and no have problem!

Problem is that when I used it for first time on rooted stock and minicm7pro, it caused bootloop at least, and I couldn't manage to do anything, didn't meant to say brick actually. On StornMix, it works normally.
Hey guys
I've read many stuff about setting:
- min Memory (free memory from internal system memory management),
- scheduling,
- taskkillers etc.
at first, im not using any additional task killing software
2nd: im using latest ultima rom.
My Problem: Task are getting killed too early
(everyone writes.. "oh god.. i've to less free memory...", i have too much free memory ;=))
Explanation:
For instance i'm using navigation and playing music at the same time, if i switch to my music app, maybe navigation already gets killed,
and vice verca...
i always have about 640 -700MB free memory, and i dont need so much free memory,
any tweaks i tried didn't work, and so i'm trying this maybe someone faced a similar problem
thanks guys
appreciate any help
btw: Using Samsung S3
Auto Memory Manager from Play store
I have seen many people complaining about storage full in moto e (condor) I have a easy solution for non rooted users (there are numerous guides for rooted user but this is for non rooted users)
There are few simple steps:
1- Disable all big apps like chrome , gmail , galley etc. It will uninstall there update and you won't be asked to update them .
2- search for the apps as a replacement to the apps you have disabled , the apps you are choosing should be small in size and should be movable to SD card for example - you can use cm browser as a replacement to chrome(its just consume 10 mbs and can be moved to SD card) ,for gallery use quickpic (3-4mb) , and use stock email app instead of gmail , use being or hound in place of google now.
3- clear cache from settings/ storage
You can uninstall updates or disable all those apps for which you can find a small sized alternative.
P.s. by this method I got almost 350-400 mb free space
That's grt!
But my point is, if you are rooted, you can have 1gb free even after installing 105 apps including bulky games! (presently in my case) by using app2sd
P.S. don't mind ?

By using app2sd I had 1.7 GB free even after installing 132 apps
And using adopted SD I got 1.5 GB free thanks to force move option
