Hey i was just wandering whats the best app for autokilling apps?
cuz i need one bad for my battery to last longer
Please post up some suggestions and the link to download it
Hey there,
Not sure about everyone else but i use Advanced Task Killer, im sure you can get it off the market. Sorry but because im new i cannot post links just search google and it will come up =]
I use the base version and it does everything it says on the tin.. comes with adds during use though but nothing to hinder its job.
(Requires root i believe)
PS. If your looking to save battery see if set cpu does your phone any good, on my huawie ideos when i have lowered the cpu to 250 my battery lasts about a week if left at that speed.
Thanks for the tip man!
But i already have that app i just want to try out something new
to see which one is better!
Try MinFreeManager
I tried it
But it doesnt fill my needs!
so ill just stick to my old method
Killing apps manually each time i unlock my phone!
its better to do manual kills rather than auto..it takes much from ur memory and it will cause your phone slower.

sent from this midget x10 mini pro using cm7.2.3.3 14.5
Actualy, there was a comprehensive discussion on android blog about this and they suggested not to use auto kill apps. I do use App Killer Pro, but i use it only for testing purposes...
I just installed Revolution HD 4.1.5 on my Sensation. Been using it about 14 hours. The capacitive buttons never light up. I have tried boot in several ways, slow booting by removing battery and fast boot(with fast boot setting on). Before when I was Revolution 3.6.3. reboot usually solve the problem. Any solution?
The rest of the firmware is Great!!

hi, copy all text of URL and paste, then delete space between "09/" AND "HTC-"... I had to place it there because I am new here and I cannot post links.
And other question: I had on my stock ROM htc widgets: battery status and Notes. Now, I cannot find them in HTC hub. And some apps I can't find in market - like skype for example. BTW: there is written "installed" on web market, but some of these apps are not in the phone.
And the last problem... (I hope) ... I have experienced some restarts without obvious reason. Is that caused by OC? Should I flash "1,2GHz script" or wait a few days if it stops :? ... Thanks for answers )

I saw the picture. You can probably call your Rom developers to put it in.
Use "market enabler" to fake t-mobile provider, then open market again, you will have it.
OC will cause those problem. Try to run lower clock. And unstable kernels may lead to those problem too.

I guess I don't know how to use market enabler... I still cannot find for example skype for androind, on the market... Can you give me please more specific advice? BTW: on my stock ROM, there were available HTC widgets (battery status, notes), which I can't find now at the HTC hub... What should I do to get them please?

Cannot find it = your Rom developer removed it. Ask him to make a flashable zip to add it back.
Download market enabler, go to setting, long press tmobile, press fake now. Then go market and find Skype, it should be there.

Hello guys. I've a quite strange problem!
When I have open some app that uses many RAM (like a navigation app - Navigon, Sygic, for example) I can't receive sms!
I tested with a friend. He sent me a SMS when my phone was idle, and I received.
But when I open Navigon, or Sygic, he sent me the same SMS, he received the Delivered relatory, but I didn't receive any message!
Maybe the system closes some system app when RAM is full, and maybe this is the problem. What can I do to get messages APP always running, so I can receive SMS?
Could you please help me?
Best regards,
Miguel
PS: I hope you can understand my (not so good) english !
You have to lock the messaging app in memory because when your phone tries to free RAM the messaging app is killed.

Thanks for the answer!
But how can I do that?

Because I'm a little bit noob on Android...
If you are on CM7 ROM then it should be under performance settings. If not then you could probally use the "V6 supercharger script".
Sent from my LG Optimus T.
Ok, thanks! i'm on stock rom, because unfortunately LG C660 users don't have CM7
I'll try and I'll post results. Thanks!
Well, I did use V6 supercharger and then I try bulletproof also, but it didn't solved the problem..
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I'm sorry for probably doing spam with this, but I'd really apreciate your help!
Best regards!
Edit: Anyone with knowledges in code, programming, could analyse CM7 code, for example? Because on the CM's settings meny, they have an option to lock messaging in memory! Maybe this would help me and other users! Thanks!

But the problem is there is not CM7 for my phone, LGC660. I'm wondering if anyone can analyse the code and see how they do to lock the messaging app in memory, so I can do it on my stock rom!
Please EVERYONE put a star in this thread - http://code.google.com/p/android/is...rs&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
It's about the messaging app being closed in low ram scenarios! Please do it! You only waste 10 second and contributes for best stock android roms!
Thanks!
Done... Hope google takes action soon

It's a good option, thanks for your answer!
But in fact, my phone has only 188mb of RAM, it was a cheap one, and I'd prefer to use the stock messaging app. It's simple, and I like simplicity.
So, i'd prefer to have some app/script/mod that locks the messaging in ram. I tried all scripts that I've found on the internet, and they didn't work.
The best solution (I dream with it all day) is developing CyanogenMod for this device
best regards
Still no reply to our problem

The only good idea would to be just install go SMS our hand cent. Its actually faster than the stock messaging app and quite a bit better. to write a script would be kind of hard if you aren't that experienced with Android
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Until LG or Google fixes the issue (if they ever do) GoSMS is you're best option.
You could try uninstalling, freezing or disabling the autorun permissions for all the apps you don't absolutely need. I don't use maps (I have a Samsung Vibrant and the GPS sucks) so I froze it so it doesn't automatically start up every once in a while or at boot. Geting rid of any widgets you don't absolutely need and keeping the number of home screens to the absolute minimum will also free up some ram. Also use the back button to close an app and not the home button. All of this might help a little but it won't solve your problem.
I downloaded gosms at last.. its nice.. but is there anyway to put its icon n the place of stock messaging app's icon ??

1: Use custom kernels only if you need them.
2: I have not noticed any
3: Same as #1, only if you feel comfortable with modifying your phone, google "root galaxy s3"
4: I think S3 sound quality is very good without any mods
5: Look at Settings -> Data usage, there you can set limits
6: Dont know about this, but if you have a cheap (slow) sdcard, the loading times may get worse.
Btw, make full backup of stock rom if you decide to go custom :thumbup:

I've been told to stay on stock ROM as it's stable and some custom ROM have bugs
Custom kernels include all kinds of tweaks, i.e. overclocking that will increase performance at cost of battery life. Siyah kernel is a good example.
Yes, with root you are able to use AdFree and many more handy tools to customize your phone i.e. fonts and such.
Hmm, im sure that searching the forum for App2sd or something similar would give an answer as I have no experience of moving apps on S3. Never really needed myself.
Yeah, stock roms have better camera and in most cases are more stable than custom roms.
As always, Google is your friend

I like and use Siyah, mainly for its flexibility, and its audio enhancements (Siyah kernel enhancements are all maintainable thru "STweaks" app which will be installed by default when you install the kernel).
I've not played with over/under-clocking as I don't feel the need with such a beast of a phone, but the options are all there.

My main reasons for using custom ROMS are:
1) the ability to use later versions of the OS before Samsung push it to the stock phones. I'm on 4.1.2 now, and have "multi-window" mode from the Galaxy note 2
2) The ability to tweak the appearance of the phone thru themes, other window managers (I use Apex mainly, but Nova is pretty too) etc.
3) the ability to strip bloatware from the phone.
As to bugs etc- I've not noticed any more bugs in the SGS3 roms than in any other custom roms, in fact I think the aftermarket Custom Rom chefs these days are producing massively mature product. Haven't flashed anything I'd consider "bleeding edge' in a long time. Last time I had a force close was in the Facebook app, and that's Zuckerberg's fault, not Android's
The App in question has since been updated and runs smooth now.

i've done move apps to sd card by follow instruction on this forum.But sometimes i feel something weird on it.Just use Link 2sd and manage it use setting on cyanogen mod..so it's easy to move all apps except system file.But once turn off my S3 my apps lost..then i turn off one more time all apps back to my home screen as well..
Just follow instruction carefully.
I am on .510 firmware Vietnamese, rooted via VROOT.
Not that it cost me money to root, so there's no such thing as a waste maybe, but all I have done so far is Titanium backup and Greenify.
This post is a 3-part question.
A) How to remove, and which bloatwares to remove.
Performance is not an issue with SD 800, but anything to help battery life is a welcome. My understanding of system and resources, and ability to understand which resources are (un)necessary stops me taking adventures. But I suspect that some unnecessary apps are using my resources, therefore battery.
Greenify, I hate to report, does not help with battery life at all. If anything, performance battery wise worsens.
So, is removing some apps a recommendation? Is removing different to disabling in setting>apps>force stop/disable?
I do not use Google+ or Hangouts, and a few others. Currently disabled only. IS there a benefit in uninstalling these apps? If yes, how?
B) Chrome browser
I love this phone. Nothing bad to say about it except maybe this... Since there is a tablet element to this phone, I would like to see it use tablet mode when surfing with chrome. The differences between tablet mode and phone mode are subtle, but I still prefer the tablet mode, and would like to try it. Whether it is a good move or not would only be known after trying it. Does anyone know how to modify it so that it works in tablet mode?
C) WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND that I install, modify or remove?
Thanks in advance
B) I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081 to accomplish what you want, if it will work on ZU, i dont know... The device will be released on the 23rd in sweden, then I'll know
Use Titanium to delete/freeze the apps you don't want to use. It'll mark apps in red if they're not safe to remove/freeze.
with root i can use the full pie controls app now - also increased the dpi from 320 to 350, also now able to change the cpu governor and scheduler, now just waiting for some nice rom and tweaked kernels to make it worth while to unlock the bootloader
