How can I increase my x10 ram? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I increase my x10 ram or rom to increase performance of my device to having no lags?
What can I do with running apps that I don't use which run ever and ever in background..
Sent from my X10 using xda premium

Use Ram Manager from market

Flash roms that use little ram. Or delete some background programs/apps/systemtools you don´t need via root uninstaller. But remember the X10 only has 256 MB ram and you won´t get the whole 256 to use, because android needs some and this is unavoidable. Furthermore you can use Adrenaline Boost - but be careful ! Just search Adrenaline boost in forum or in google

Download advanced task manager then in settings set auto kill level to aggressive and auto kill frequency to when screen turns off works a dream
also to save memory you can actually move apps that cannot be moved to SD with app2sd by selecting move 2 SD on titanium backup pro by long pressing on the app u wish to move

But if u use App2SD, make sure your SDCard - Class is fast or may some tools wouldn´t work proper. Furtermore I don´t suggest Taskkiller for newbs, or useres which don´t know what it does. If you know the Android System, you will get to know that it manages programs automatically- it freezes and closes them if memory is needed. Task killers can damage your device and further drain your battery! If it always kills apps it can crash system tools! So think twice before installing a task killer

@NeoCream; wich settings did you use?
I just installed option 4 and everything seems to work like it should. Dont feel any different so far but this is really interestning, please share your findings.
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
before I installed the script (with option 3) I had AutoKiller Memory Optimizer installed. I removed the app and just let the script handle the memory.
The system feels as fluid as with the app but the script does not force my launcher (GO Launcher EX) to redraw the icons in certain situations. Scrolling and everything works as good as with the AutoKiller Memory App... just without the nasty side-effect e.g. re-drawing launcher-icons.

and without this script.
Hi there , when I tried to install V6 Supercharger , it requires Busybox 1.18.2 OR LOWER but how do we get a previous version of that app ?
Open up Busy Box and you should see on the top of the page a drop down menu where you can chose which version of busy box you want to install. After selecting your version of choice just hit the install button!
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
When you say open up busy box , do you mean in the market ? or do i have to download it then open up ?
When you have Busy Box installed it should show up in the app drawer (where you have all your other apps).
Just launch it from there.
works like a charm. noticeable less lag after running script. Thanks!
What settings do you guys exactly use? And which fits best for the Arc?
And does it remove the ability to do OTA updates like removing system apps?

The app is actually called 'Busybox installer' download it from the market and then after it has been installed, open it then click the drop down list at the top then choose the version of busybox you want to install. This app will download and install the version of busybox you want
just annoying, can't get it to work
installed busybox 1.18.1 (via busybox installer)
Script manager installed from market
V6 script in root of SD card
In script manager only checked: browse as root
Open V6 turbo....txt and checked only run as root
set 1 (for scrolling text) and after this option 6
after this chosen option 17 (exit)
reboot phone. when I want to check if it works fine and open Script manager again, V6 turbo.txt with only run as root checked, nothing has changed. I have to choose scrolling text value again
Someone see what I do wrong?
Kind regards

It works great .. Really can feel the difference ..

[Q] Stop app killing

Hello,
I'm using MIUI and the most annoying thing is that when the memory is low the apps kill by themselves. Is there a way we can stop doing that, or just prevent killing specified apps? I don't like waiting each time till the launcher loads

um.. that's how android is designed to work, if didn't you would run out of ram ( = BAD ) maybe try turning some useless background apps off. android will always kill background tasks before the foreground task tho.
you can tweak the memory if you want tho do a search for x10 memory optimization. i think there is a thread about sharing the best values.

[Q] Taking Walkman WT19i to neXt level

Hello again,
Having the phone with following specs:
Android Version: 4.0.4 (Stock)
Bootloader Status: Unlocked
Root Status: Rooted
Firmware: 4.1.B.431
Looking for:
1. The best Clock Work Mod
Same time have the fesibility to reset phone to factory mode
(Could it be done by flashing the generic firmware?)
2. RAM Availability
This has become a serious concern. I only have 70-80MB Ram available all time. When I hit the phone app, it takes 5 seconds to bring out the keypad....
Need advice on How to manage/install scripts.
Thanks again.

2 things.
1) ClockworkMod Recovery is mostly used to make full backups, format the system partitions and install custom ROMs.
2) Resetting phone to factory status can be done in Settings-Privacy or repair software via Update Service.

Root your phone and remove unnecessary apps. Search on forum, there is a list about it. Also, search for V6 Supercharger.
And having 70-80 MB RAM isn't bad at all. It's quite enough for normal usage.

It is because of unoptimized app. Not related to RAM much.
Unused ram is wasted ram. U wont getting any problem like lags etc unless free ram is too low eg 10-20mb.
Again, unused ram is wasted ram
Your lags probably came from cpu governor/disk io scheduler. Flash custom kernel and experiment with other cpu governor/io scheduler

@GxGaNi
Here are some tweaks you might wanna try: http://goo.gl/1OuLC
but I would suggest you make a backup of all your stuff and make a clean new ROM flash with V6 installed....
and like someguyfromhell said, remove all bloatware.

Thanks for the quick reply. Regarding some stuff.
CWM, which one do you suggest to install? Since I wanted to try out some roms and get to know Android well. And by meaning resetting to factory, I wanted to know, would it also remove CWM along with the reset?
I am a bit peculiar about the cwm, can you suggest me some?
Secondly, Optimizing App? It's the default Contact.apk, it literally gets my nerves. And the keys lag like about 10-50ms when I type. Any workaround?
PS: I removed lot of bloated apps already, so I wouldn't blame them.

Understood. But isn't this a logic? If we initially had a lesser ram and start an app, wouldn't it lag? And, tbh, 80MB is now low, since some games like Temple Run hog the ram up.
android had its own way of managing apps/ram.
newly closed app were cached in ram to make it faster for relaunch, and sometime it launch automatically on event without we even notice it. thats why we got app like autostart to manage that behaviour.
and when ram goes low, android will clean those cached app from ram using minfree value as threshold, thus we got app like auto memory manager to adjust those minfree value.
either way u shoudn't be worry much about ram, and dont use taskiller to kill app/process.

I disagree about that.
The real difference with different I/O schedulers is quite small.

If I am not mistaken, it is a bug with ICS. Someone correct me if I am wrong, I do not have my phone to test it.
Yep, key lag is an ICS thing. Even on some custom ROMs you still get keypress lag.
If you're going custom all the way (unlocked bootloader, custom kernel & ROM etc), for ICS you can check out expeacer's ExtendedStockKernel V2. It's got CWM 5.5 so there's no more of the 8 empty lines before option shmuck. Makes it a lot easier to use. Mesa kernel is also a good option and according to most, extends battery life by quite a bit..
Hope that helps

App for Auto Start, app for managing apps from self-kicking. And these apps pile up if you keep looking.
And by cache, I guess you're talking about Dalvik-Cache? I saw an option in "Developer Options", Don't keep activities. I wish it had "White-List" and black list, you seriously wouldn't need those countless apps.
btw, I do not any task killer, since most of them have the same algorithm and do the same ****(no offense), but I use SwitchPro Widget, since sony doesn't come up with default switches like Samsung does. It's native app killing switch is pretty flawless.
Does anyone also notice the slow loading widgets (Widget cannot load error) at the startup. I Use go launcher native theme.

Its noticeable on stock kernel. Noop gave faster picture loading in gallery, music loading in music app and media scanning upon unplugging usb and after reboot than default deadline.
But on custom kernel those added io scheduler probably patched already to suites flash memory better, thus faster on readahead, well atleast on my kernel i've patched them.

Neo V ram Question.

Hello,
My neo V is just a day old and i have Unlocked its Bl and have put ice cream pureness rom. Its my first time doing this. I had a question that is when i use task killer i always end up with max ram remaining at about 120 - 140 mb. Is this normal? i mean my friends galaxy s shows much more free ram. But both the mobiles have 512 mb ram and neo v has 335 usable. Is there a way to increase this?

DO NOT USE TASK KILLERS. they sometimes drain battery,and also cause other problems..they can even slow down your phone.
also do not use any ram boosting applications. try an app called "fast reboot". its safe. and try supercharging,if u are rooted.

I would never use task killers period And I suspect that your friend's Galaxy S is running GB?
335 total mb of ram is for apps. The rest is reserved for the system, so no you can't increase it.

Yes it is. I reverted back to GB currently using codename 8 rom its great and really fast. I guess ICS is not yet ready and since lots of games dont run on it i had to revert back to GB. This rom uses a lot less ram and i always have 170+ mb ram remaining.

HI there is a simple way to speed up your phone just root it first (any working rooting method...but i prefer eroot.exe tool to root its just one click root search in xda itself you will find that app.) then just use link2sd no need to partition in ICS..just install link2sd and then move apps to sd no matter what msg it gives no prob will happen except some appp's widgets wont work if moved to sd card (example advanced task killer's widget).then freeze unwanted apps that u need but dont use it often.rather than uninstalling ..even move system apps like gtalk 3d camera or freeze them ..then u willl get more ram and the speed will increase..also disable the default launcher and use launcher pro..its lite and does not require more memory..experience it .thank you.
You can try Supercharger.
If you are not interested with theming and much customization, you can odex your rom.

[Q] Xperia Mini Pro gets sluggish after a few days of use. What to do?

Hi,
I have an Xperia Mini Pro running stock 4.1.B.0.587 with MESA kernel 3.5. I have frozen/uninstalled quite a few of the bundled applications and I have replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher Prime. After a reboot, the phone is quite snappy and fast, no lag when redrawing and everything is working very nicely together. However, after a few hours to a day of use, it gets quite sluggish: slow redraws, animations stutter, apps block/hang for a few seconds etc.
I would like to investigate this further, but I'm not quite sure of how to proceed. One thing that I have seen is that if I go Settings->Apps->Running, after a few hours to a a day of use, there are a few applications or services which say "restarting".
Do you guys have any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you!
One think I would suggest you is to debloat your phone as much as possible and then search for more ways!
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ
Hello,

Yep pimp my Rom is good....also try some awesome tweaks of project fluid by mv_style and also the v6 supercharger, etc...that will make ur Rom faster but you can't anyhow expect very much from the stock Rom but u can always depend on custom roms based on stock if you want...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try it one of these days. Any other ideas, guys?
Use Android Assistant (18 features) and clean the cache. Do it often, ICS really generates a lot of cache compared to GB.
Though the best thing to do would be to flash a GB rom if you want your phone to be really smooth :good:
Simply restarting the phone will do the job!
Restart it once every (two) day(s).
or
Change the minfree and ADJ settings.
EDiT: check your vfs_cache_pressure value
If it's low, set a higher setting. MESA kernel sets it to 30, which is quite low and causes lags at the end of the day.
You can try to raise it to default stock 100 and see if that helps
Code:
echo "200" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
Flash a custom ROM. Usually they last longer without lag then stock ROM.
Also another solution is, you can try my X-PLODE tweaks. I think it should really boost your phone since it's on stock ROM.
Based on my experience after flashing almost EVERY available ROM and kernel on my st15i, I can suggest:
1. Use a memory manager like Smart RAM, Autokiller Memory Optimizer etc.
2. Use a cache cleaner app and set it to clear cache once or twice a day.
3. Use an app like SystemCleanup (free) and delete any system app you don't use or like.
4. You can send apps like your custom browser (I strongly suggest Nova) or GPS app to /system/app/ via SystemCleanup.
5. Flash custom kernel (I strongly suggest LuPuS or MESA Hybrid).
6. Find a light and fast custom ROM that suits your needs and flash it.
7. Enjoy. The power of Android is in your hands !
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time and answering me.
