I observed killer consumption of RAM in leaked 4.2.2 ; yes I know it's not official ergo not perfect but I wanted to ask if your riding the same boat ? and hope its fixed with official release.
ps. Not complaining or anything. I love the leak and its fluid too. just wanted to crosscheck the numbers.

Why does it matter?... I don't understand why people don't get how Linux based OS's... If you're not having problems, stop looking for some.
Why ask why it matters? If you can't answer don't answer, he obviously wants to know for a reason lol

I can answer it perfectly fine. Your post added nothing. If the phone is running fine and its fluid, why try to find something wrong with it?... Its a Linux based system, it caches it in the RAM, everything it can so that it can be accessed faster. Don't worry about it.

this is the exact condescending reply I was not looking for. I know how Linux works. I just wanted to know why 70 mb was remaining when same processes on Previous firmware was around 200mb + . I know you can only sing free ram is wasted ram . except that you don't foool me. Thank you

I am not looking for problem. I just seek I formation. I made it clear in the post. You should atleast take a sec before posting and read the OP

Actually this is a problem. I know its linux and its how it handle memory etc etc but we are talking about memory leak, after some usage the memory used by apps can not be released by android task killers and it keep getting bad until a point when even if you open settings the launcher gets killed. It's a plague on all touchwiz roms and in my opinion the most frustrating part of this phone

you ever tried to open 2-3 apps when memory is too low ? it will close 2nd app always its a very big problem and LMK cant fix it whenever your notes closed without save you will understand that, its biggest problem in android and most annoying 1. and on 4.2.2 leak because of low ram games crash too like rr3 and real boxing
So which app is memory leaking in the screen shot? How many MB of RAM is leaking and at what rate?

Minimize on unnecessary apps ea. instead of installing X app that i know is accessible via browser then avoid installing said app. Well that's my basis for apps that I install

Need a way to prevent an app of choice from being killed when low on memory without recompiling the app, adding a notification, or any of that horsecrap. If absolutely necessary I can rewrite a chunk of the ROM.
It still amazes me that Froyo has this many oversights / poor choices, especially with regard to user control over button actions and internal workings.

also, galaxy s2 is going to be awesome in US
I'm using cyanogen now if that makes it any easier.
yet again
.
really would be nice to know..
it's for my custom lockscreen which uses a replacement home, I want to keep the default home launcher in memory but froyo has no user-customizable memory management options.

Edited:
I ended up using a service to poll for processes that are in the foreground which is a much-much-much better solution than a home replacement, as well as being able to control apps on the lock screen (several allow use of the web browser, which is even more of a security issue).
I still need to know how to do this for something else though.

Hows this app working? Im looking to find something to prevent unwarranted killing of certain apps: various games and my browser (not all together or anything), which given that I get sidetracked a lot, I don't like to return to just to find that its all been shut down. My SGS2 has a gig of ram, many of the tasks that use less than 100mb are killed while im talking on the phone for a while doing nothing else with little or nothing open. Email and other little syncing things cannot consume all of this phones resources, to the point one fairly medium-sized task must be euthanized!
Searching has yielded very little, most people are looking for the opposite: some crazy task-killer app to kill, kill, double-kill, killing-spree, RAMPAGE! lol! Some things were goot about winmo 6.x, for example a quick:
HKCU/software/HTC/taskmanager/enableautokill = "0"
is the winmo equivalent to the answer, IF ram isn't tightly budgeted already. I had apps running for DAYS on my HTC Raphael with that setting
I'm testing it again
-Setting the killing spree threshold to 0 for all the sliders seems to help a _lot_.
-Setting the process's priority / using "Always keep alive" is only temporary and doesn't affect anything on my device
-This app is really useful

hahaha....wow....I'm overwhelmed by the complete lack of response to this, even after all your bumps
I came across this thread while trying to figure out the same thing myself. But as euphoria47 said, all the searches are cluttered with how to kill apps, not how to prevent them from being killed....I can't seem to find the "magical" keywords to find a legitimate answer to this question.
How did that app you linked to work for you? I'm trying to force one app to stay in memory (QuickDesk), but can't figure out how...

I use Avast. Use on my PC and it works well. It also has an anti theft routine that allows you to wipe and lock the phone remotely. Its also free.
Ive never ran one but I noticed that most of the guys over at Android Central use Lookout. There must be some benefit.
until i see an antivirus app actually clean an infected phone, i dont see the need right now.
I use "Common Sense: 1997 Edition."
Seriously, most of the malware or dirty apps are MP3 downloaders or similar apps. If you have to ask, it's probably not legitimate.
I use Avast only because of the root features--I downloaded a sketchy apk from a Russian forum (it was that Portal port, OK!) and Avast notified me right away that there was a virus embedded in it. I later found out that the place I downloaded from was not the original posting, it was on a completely different forum (both were Russian though).

Lookout seems to work pretty well, but it's quite a battery drainer. I used to use AVG, and it was quite a bit better as far as battery goes. Now I don't use one at all. As long as you put a little thought into what you do and do not download, you don't need it.

Just wanted to know if there was a way to increase my Free RAM on this device. Some ROM's I have run have about 150megs free while others have less, the current ROM I running has 200megs free. Other than killing a running app or task, is there a way to free up more? Or is this just how this device works?

I've tried lots of roms and none had more free ram than UR Rom. But it does take more time to set up than other roms because its light, which is great IMO. O wish it had 2gb of ram like the S3. If it did it would be perfect. By the way I hate the s3.

If your running sense and dont mind disabling sense aspects of your rom, you can freeze sense and run another launcher like ADW. When i was running the older viper i did see on average another 100 megs of ram open.
Or you could go aosp and win right there just saying

UR is the rom I running now. I would like to keep sense, I understand that freezing/removing will lighten it up. So until CM is fully functioning, I want to try to make the most of what I have.
I'll probably add swap when I get around to playing with the kernel in the mean time if u have tasker u can set up a profile to bulletproof apps, I was pissed when dolphin closed while watching hulu on the EVO LTE, it has 2x the ram of my og EVO but less avaible for me to use
Tasker profile active when dolphin running in foreground:

Hey guys,
I've just unrooted my phone, made a full data wipe (with the mega wipe script ), flashed the new I9300ZSEMA1 via odin.
I reainstalled all the application I had.
My phone it's still (I've done all this to free my phone form the UI's lag maledition ) lagging.
It happens many times when i click bottoms and it has to load smth.
Apart from this, it happens other times casually, event though it's not that evident, but I see there's ppl here saying "my phone it's never lagging", "it's smoother than ever", "it's a beast", etc.. so i want to understand!
Here's my info screen

As said, it's stock 4.2.1, unrooted.
I was thinking about installing a kernel like Siyah and manipulating smth about screen from there.
Are there any other options? Which ones?
I've tried (without much of a success ) the subsequent moves:
1 Delevoper Option --> Force GPU rendering [ON]
2 Developer Option --> Disable hardware overlays [ON]
3 Developer Option -->Window animation scale [0.5x]
4 Developer Option --> Transition animation scale [0.5x]
5 Removing Samsung weather widget from the home screen
And that's my current configuration, for what it's worth.
Where would you go from here?
P.S. CAN I SET THE IMAGE RESIZE VIA BBCODE?
Is resizing it previously the only way?
Why are you messing with settings you clearly know little of? You should never have "Disable hardware overlays" on. That sure as hell won't make your phone smoother.
thank you for your help, i'm trying to move smth!
what does Disable hardware overlays mean?

Read this:
Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping.
Basically, using hardware overlays can reduce CPU usage by quite a bit, so I would leave it enabled.

no one?
Install either Siyah or Perseus kernel and remove bloatware which you don't use

Maybe it lags because you're trying too hard to make it not lag, which currently is impossible. Try flashing a heavily debloated rom like WanamLite, then apply gokhan's latest siyahkernel, then try "bestmultitaskingfix v7" and let everything settle for a few days.
Also, don't be worried if it lags a lot just after boot-up, it's bound to do so while caching.

Hi there. As the title suggests, I have a few questions about a certain stock app and another for Jelly Bean 4.2.
1.- I'd like to know if anybody can know what this app does. I didn't notice it till today, and before you ask anything, my phone is new, it has only 3 days of use, and it's not rooted. For those curious, it's a BLU Dash 5.0 running JB 4.2. I can't read chinese but as I was saying, I find it a little, odd, to have it as a stock app. Why stock? Because I can't uninstall it but I can disable it. I haven't done so since I don't know what the app does. Here are the screenshots:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.- My next question regards the RAM. I know Jelly Bean is slightly different and heavier than ICS, but is the RAM I have in my screenshot, well, normal for the activities running? (My phone has 512 mb as the minimum required). Of course, I have no idea if it's an issue since I experience no lag. (Sorry if it's a noobish question ), yet on ICS, I had around 130 mb or so free. But does having free RAM really matter?
I appreciate any response given, thank you for your time.
Hi. For the first, disable it and see if anything useful stops working. It's probably not tied in with anything you actually need. If it is? Enable it.
For the second, don't worry about RAM. If there is no lag then it's a good thing. RAM keeps necessary stuff at the ready. In fact, not having things in RAM can create lag for that very reason.
Hope this helps, mate. Cheers.

Edit: forgot to affirm that yes, JB needs more RAM, and with only 512 you won't have much still free.

Thanks for your quick reply! So, the RAM issue is normal? Oh thanks, I thought that the app I mentioned was tied to the RAM, but I guess it's not. Thank you!
Okay, I just got that weird app to show up on my RAM, apparently it runs 2 services called "UI service" and "SS". Also it has the name of com.port.win... Any ideas about it?
EDIT: Wait, it was another chinese app I had on my downloads. I didn't download that! Is this a wormhole or something??? I just uninstalled it.
Information about what this log does?
Okay, sorry for double posting by the way. I found this log inside my SD Card and was wondering if it's related to the app. Can somebody please tell me what this log does? I'll leave it as an attachment.
As always, I appreciate any help given thanks.
(By the way, I removed my IMEI from inside the log for security reasons).
