Is there any benefit to completely replacing the stock browser (I use Miren) with one from the market? I have Root Explorer so I know that's how I'll do it...but should I? Same question for the launcher (I use GoLauncher Ex)
Im not familiar with Miren, but i like the stock browser. Its simple. Also if Miren runs in the backround you would only need ONE browser.
the benefit to.making things a system app(and getting rid of stock) is that as a system app it wont be wiped off phone when u do a data wipe.
.also, if it uses less ram than the "stock" u will have less ram.being used.
but free ram isn't important due to how Android os operates ....
The benefit to me is the different options that they have. Adw ex, dolphin, player pro, and root browser have all been converted to system apps and Ive deleated the stock apps. Launcher 2, browser, music, and file manager.

Hi all. I'm a new Android user (and new P500 user as well). At the start I've been advised by my friends and a lot of internet opinions that Astro is one of the best file managers for Android. So I started using Astro right then, and to be fair, I've been really happy with it. It has the looks, the functions, and although it sometimes lags here and there, it's really good for the free version. But after all, I mostly used it just to install apks from the sd card.
Today I was bored and started playing around with my Optimus One a bit. So I tried the OI File Manager (the default file manager that came pre-installed on my handset, I don't know if you guys have it). And yes, I'm impressed. I expected it to be just a little piece of junk, turned out it actually worked. Although it lacks most of the advanced functions, the browsing experience was really nice. I didn't feel any lag when browsing through large folders of many files, and it has kinetic scrolling too. It delivers the smooth feeling like when you scroll the music list in the default "music" app or video list in the "video" app. It can even install the apks on the sd card, as well. And thumbnail for images works fast and smooth (in Astro they appear laggy).
So IMO, the OI File Manager is not completely useless. For quick browsing for some files, or install apks from the sd card,.. it seems to be the better choice than Astro. What do you guys think?

Question, On stock or on a custom rom based on stock I am able to have a ton of apps open and switch between them without them reloading. For example I can open Angry Birds, Temple Run, and Flick golf plus taptalk and browser etc.. .and I have no issue switching between them. The OS is not closing the apps, it is letting the apps stay open in memory since we have so much ram on this phone.
However with aokp it is closing the apps even when the free memory on the phone is over a gig. I tried using the ram tweaks in system tuner pro and it still did not make a difference... Does anyone know what I should tweak in order to have the RAM management work the same or almost like the stock rom?
Hey I have a rooted Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D, and wanted to use Link2SD to move apps to my SD.
I have two problems, one is that when i moved my downloaded apps from the phone to the SD, the internal memory seems to get even lower. The second is that I need an opinion if I put the apps in the SD card are right.
I also uninstalled some bloatware, because i didnt like it. So I found replacements that made the phone seem like more of an ICS style phone. For example, i got rid of the camera, calculator, the music app, and gallery. I replaced them with Camera ISC+, ISC Calculator, Google Play Music, Gallery ISC. After this my internal memory seems to be taken up by more memory. So i put all these apps into the SD. Then I put the Maps into SD, and also the Play store.
I dont know whats wrong here.
I also need and opinion if i put the right apps into my sd. All the apps in my SD now:
Facebook
TextPlus
Skype
PicsArt
Google Play Series
Maps
Google Play Music
Snapchat
Clean Master
Ymail
Kik
Antek QuickSettings
Player Pro
Gallery ISC
Messaging Lite G
ISC Calculator
AndroZip
Camera ISC+
Opera Mini
Link2SD
Groove IP
ALso forgot to mention, that I have Clcok JB+ instead of the normal Clock in gingerbread, it is not on the SD because I like the Clock widget it comes with. There is also Eye in the Sky on the phone, along with ADWLauncher EX. ISC Keyboard, Minimalistic Text, Widget Pack (Player Pro), Play Store, Street View,
Also, Can someone tell me how to optimize my phone to get the best out of it. I have all these replacements of the bloatware because I really like ISC. I am trying to get a custom ROM but for now this is the best i can do. Please help me, Thanks.
Hello,
I have here a CnM Tablet pre-loaded with 4.1 and there is a huge problem.
I previously installed Connect Bot for SSH use and noticed I could connect to the Tablets root. (I think its important to mention it was pre-rooted by the manufacturer). I started to look around on the system partition at thing i might recognize and i noticed a program called httpd. I assumed this was a web server app so i ran it. Nothing happened so I panicked and killed the app. This is where my problem starts. The tablet froze. I had hard shutdown. I restart the thing and it has factory reset. I thought this was just an ok thing where i could reload all my existing apps on. Nope, the internal memory doesn't exist i.e. I goto Memory and Storage to look at what is being used. I see the Memory card, ext1 (An external memory card), and there is blank space with question marks which are supposed to show the system memory.
In light of this, I restarted and the same thing happened. I have attempted a recovery via recovery mode: nothing. I even cleared the cache.
My question is: What could have gone wrong and how do I fix it?
Apps installed at time:
BusyBox, Connect Bot, 2X Remote Desktop Client, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash Player, Advanced Task Killer, ADW.Launcher, bvnC, AndSMB, Barcode Scanner, BatteryLife, BBC Iplayer, BBC Media Player, BBC News, Chess Free, ColorLights, DroidEdit Pro, Ebay, ES File Explorer, Facebook messenger, SnapSave, Snapchat, Falldown classic, Flappy Birds, FING NEtwork tools, Firefox beta, Mozilla firefox, Hackers Keyboard, (Google Play-Music-Games-Services-Movies etc etc), Hungry Shark, Kingsoft Office, Maps, MetOffice Weather, Minecraft, Multi-touch paint, oRBot, Sense Analog Clock, skype, snake 2k, superUser, Tank Hero, trap!, VLC For android, VMWare Horizon view client, Youtube.
Sometimes when I'm browsing ( using Chrome but not necessarily, sometimes when reading an article with Facebook internal browser ) it simply crash without any message, just return to home screen. When I check the used ram is at 450-500-550, signs of an automatically ram clear ( I'm not using any free ram tool ). Seems that the system simply end apps due low ram I suppose but shouldn't start with background apps? Why it clear my foreground application? What do you know about this?
Strangely as it happens lately before I didn't had any similar issues, it doesn't matter how many tabs I had opened in Chrome, never but never crashed. This happens also with the stock Browser so the problem could be the system actually, not an app.
I'm on Stock from sammobile
Nobody?
