Ah, so V6 supercharge script isn't working for Xperia U or say any phone with 512 mb ram. Well, we have always concentrated on freeing RAM memory than actually using it. Because we think the more free RAM we have, the more Apps we can use at the same time. But guys that's not how Android works. You should let your phone use all the RAM memory it has. By limiting it, you're only telling your phone to keep a certain amount of memory "free" all the time and android does its job well by doing it. So if you tell your phone to keep 125 mb free it will keep it and kill other apps for it, even the launcher . That's unused space. And yeah now you will think that when apps are loaded on ram they are active and using CPU time, NO! They are paused because you're not using them. Android automatically excludes the apps which have not recently been used from the RAM as soon as you load an App which was not loaded earlier.
Now let's talk about the values. I've kept 12,18,25,40,45,50 by using the 10th option from the V6 script.
Launcher rarely redraws. (Actually not yet happened with me )
No running apps are restarting.
services.jar not patched. Only using OOM settings. No extra kernel settings either. 75% charged
I seriously recommend not patching services.jar, just set these values or you can set your values to see the difference in performance.
That's all for now. Enjoy!
Only 13 mb RAM memory is free. I know the image isn't that clear.

My phone isn't lagging at all. But facing battery problems a bit. I'm working on that now.
odd
It is kind of odd because my phone tends to lag more after I run the v6 script. But on the other hand, my gaming experience improves. Am I doing it wrong?

My phone is fast and smooth now. When I share something from facebook to another app say Whatsapp, and when I come back to facebook I don't have to wait for facebook to load again. Even after that my launcher doesn't redraw.
Few bugs are solved now.
Guys, there were a few bugs but now I've overcome them. They're under testing. Soon i'll release them. I guarantee you that by applying my settings, the battery percent will take few minutes to drop. Before it used to take a minute to drop 2-3%. Now 1% will take more than that.

well that's interesting.. I've also been testing around with supercharger script and didn't find any values that actually pleased me... so the only thing I did was patching services.jar and locking launcher on memory. I'm going to try it your way and let's see if I actually can feel any difference. BTW I'm running JB with phantom kernel.

I haven't tried it on JB tho. BTW I'm using Greenify to hibernate apps. But still i faced redraws. So I put values like very low. 8,12,22,30,35,40 current values and i'm testing this. Yday I patched services.jar and so far it's working fine. Until i'm pretty sure about it I'm not recommending patching it.

1200mhz? Is that a hero?
Its not hero , the resolution is to high.
what the.... flykernel runs on other systems? cool - I guess it makes sense that he builds it for other systems but I just never thought about that happening.
I think the screen is just a screen. Kernel from one device won't run on another.

oh, so he grabbed a setcpu screenshot for example's sake?
ok, original poster, are you using a hero? LoL
I'm pretty sure of this
The screenshot is from another device / kernel, he was just using it as an example.
As for best configuration, there isn't one I am afraid. It is dependant on so many differing factors:-
- what apps update in the background and how often?
- how often you use the screen?
- what brightness do you have your screen on?
- how good is your signal?
- how many widgets do you have running?
- how well written the apps you use are (sky news for instance used to be a massive battery drain)
- how efficient your battery is (old batteries drain quicker)
that it is impossible to say. I personally don't use any profiles at all, I run at 19MHz min / 748MHz max and use the smartass governor, but I am so often around my charger (at home or at work) that I don't know what the battery life is like. It lasts more than 24 hours and linpack over 5.2 MFLOPS, which is enough for me.
yea - most common sense way to improve battery life is this:
reduce screen brightness manually as much as you can live with
slow down top speed of cpu as much as you can live with. in most roms I can live with something in the 450 mHz range or whatever that kernel provides as a lowish top end speed.
smartass is good for battery life - nice low bottom speed, very quick to speed up if necessary. but if you can live with some occasional slowdowns on unlock (the only side effect I get from the following setup) just use a low conservative-governor speed with screen off profile and higher but still low as you can live with speed with screen on using the ondemand governor.
oh, and turn off wifi when not using it, turn off bluetooth when not using it, make sure no apps request gps when not using it or turn it off too if you're paranoid (but gps only runs when an app asks it to run), and if you really want great battery life when screen is off then t urn off background updates except when you really want to update your data.
The image is only example
...and if you really want great battery life when screen is off then t urn off background updates except when you really want to update your data...

there are apps you can install that do that automatically for you, but of course then you have another service running in the background all the time managing this stuff. I would imagine it's worth a try, but I personally need background updates enabled so my wife can ping me whenever she wants.
Let me just say this.
Look in the FlyKernel topic. He has a darn huge part there on what the best speed is.
And to make it lazy for ya.
172/614 smartass, and totally no profiles.
But it is more what you like.
If you want to go like I want to have a P4 and go to the 2.2 Ghz and try to run XP on it. Have fun
But in short, First read out a whole post of a kernel before making a new topic. next time post it inside the topic of the kernel. Less clutter on the board.
EDIT: I personally dont use setCPU because its another app running for something you can just configure with flykernel package itself. Same for all kernels. Just have to find out how . And now its time to go to bed, that was something I was planning to do 4.5 hours ago
12a is a great kernel..
I find 19/576 (interactive when screen on, conservative when off) works perfectly on froydvillain 1.7.2, but I'm using the included app cpu speed, not setcpu.
I don't have any problems with lag during games or anything else, so why overclock more if not needed? I have gone up to 730 though I didn't find performance was that much better, so I leave it at 576 unless otherwise needed.
I am using Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray from last 4 month. I already upgrade my phone ICS, Root it, Install CWM recovery etc.
But my phone is a little bit laggy, work laggy. I know if i got more free RAM, with it my phone's performance increase.
Any idea to increase phone performance with more free RAM.
i attached a screenshot of current RAM usage.
Thanks in Advance.

You could use auto memory manager from the playstore
Or use some init.d scripts or use a custom Rom or custom kernel which claims to have more free ram.
p.s: for custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.

that 109mb free is already reasonable high free ram.
theres a saying that free ram is wasted ram.
Hmmmm...since you have rooted your phone, i suggest you install System Cleanup.....this apps can remove any bloatware on stock rom and free more ram that have been use by bloatware.....this apps also will show you which apps is safe to remove from your system files.....
I agree with anonymous . Free ram is wasted ram. But some apps (games) Might require certain amount of free ram so you can use app killers (pretty hard on battery, not recommended) or apps like auto memory manager (recommended, but keep the threshold limit reasonable).

I'm running cm10, multitasking with tapatalk, music player, seeismic and opera mobile gave me just around 60mb free ram but no significant lag that i can see. Guess it depends on rom/kernel too for better memory management, and stock or stock based rom is lousy at that. On miui ics based on stock i cant play dead trigger without swap, wont even open the game but on cm9/cm10 i can play smoothly without needing swap.
Actually i need a Lag free phone. More free RAM is not primary reason....
Then use custom rom that aren't based on stock eg cm, pa or aokp. But for that u need to flash custom kernel, and to flash custom kernel u need to unlock bootloader.

Thanks to Funky Android for the find!
Post any new features you find!
*I have found that the animations are a bit more pronounced & they seem to be smoother & generally more uniform.
*I have also found that in the Gallery app, there is a filmstrip mode that is found by pinching out of a picture. When in filmstrip mode, you can now use a swipe to delete the image & then immediately undo the deletion just like when you swipe to archive or delete email in Gmail.
*The play store now displays how much time is left until an app install is complete.

What do I know. Been using PA with Sony's album app myself.
Looks like you can long press bluetooth/wifi statusbar buttons to toggle them now, without having to actually jump into settings.
Is the wallpaper chooser different? More compact and quicker access... I actually haven't spent too much time on 4.2.1 - and it was mostly PA.
But, did we always have a libgoggles_clientvision.so? I think not.. Looks like they're setting up for it.

EDIT: I just realized how dumb I sounded.. scratch the above comments - goggles, not project glass - and the wallpaper chooser seems no different.
My N10 seems... snappier, but this could be placebo. Memory usage is around 500MB currently, which is extremely lower than I'm used to (but then again, this is on a clean factory install).
I'll go install all my apps and then see what happens

So it appears that I have less RAM available (around 1.2GB usable, whereas before on 4.2.1 I had 1.6GB, on custom ROM anyway). Memory usage is still around 400-500MB idle for me though.
There seem to be quite a few security fixes too (including one where you cannot activate USB Debugging unless you're the primary user... nice... )
Best one I think is a fix due for a vulnerability (exploit !!!) of the Exynos discovered in those very XDA forums by alephzain on the S3.

Looking at the changelog, and specifically the comits to vold, it looks like nothing has changed regarding mounting external storage writable, all the crappy workarounds just to get read/write on a USB HDD is what's bugging me most.

It was mentioned on a changelog somewhere that Google reserved an extra 380 some MB for the GPU, something along the lines of it being able to fragment userspace RAM before when the GPU needed extra memory.

Hello
I bought this phone 3 weeks ago and since then I have always kept GB stock
5 days ago the phone started to have some small stick-slip and 1 time it has also blocked
at that point, given that just can not stand to have a slow terminal, I started to install all roms available on the Internet now, and I was very disappointed ..
Both ICS and JB or had problems or were slow (or all together) and this thing just is not suited me. ESPECIALLY THE WEB BROWSER THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME
I am looking for a phone without many pretensions, but it is always fast to what I have to do, without locking up, while remaining reliable to top
mainly use the phone to call (but should be?), sms, whatsapp, email and Fb (the latter 3 course always push) and all roms try every time did not manage to keep open these apps (like the dialer) and every time you had to wait for it to reopen (I know, a few seconds .. but it bothers me) and in any case even if it remained in the Rams were still slow ...
so I wanted to share with you that I found the configuration that is giving me great satisfaction these days
I used stock rom as GB ... the only one without too many delays and the only one with all the drivers (like the status bar or Wi-Fi) perfectly installed, optimized and running
I tried the other rom, but got stuck for no reason, and even the basic functions like call and send text messages had serious problems
for speed up the system i have used Smart Launcher with the "notification for Smart Launcher"
from the phone looks minimalist, as in my case immediately gives me everything I need

The stock Lockscreen I really liked the fact that some things like text messages were displayed, but third-party programs like Hotmail, whatsapp and Facebook did not work, and since I could not find one with this feature that I liked and it was light, and view graphics on the home, I decided to use the NO Lock to disable it
because we will not want to activate widgets in the home (consumes a lot of ram) I used NOTIFICATION TOGGLE to have all the shortcuts I want in the notification bar (including the torch)
having said that, the speed is great, and the battery consumption is gorgeous (one day heavy use, just using it for two days)
look how little consumes night that 'I left with wifi off and screen off
I hope I was helpful, and if you have any questions / suggestions as well ask
HAVE A NICE DAY
The problem with this phone is limited ram. First off, I suggest using greenify. It keeps apps from waking up and running in the background.
As far as Roms go, xnovathor project is the lightest ROM. Pure aosp jelly bean 4.1.2, just as mommy Google made it. Clean install no apps, 200mb free ram. With Facebook, what's up, g+, etc, I still get 80 to 100 MB free.

They complain of only 2.3gb total usable ram. My task killer apps say at most 1,200mb/1.75gb. Should I not have access to at least 2gb of free ram after killing all apps with low security or at the least 2gb of ram that's not used by the system?

This is the highest amount of free ram I have been able to achieve. Using advanced task killer pro. Am I wrong or should I not see a number closer to 3gb? The 1,700mb can only be achieved if I kill everything immediately after boot. Apps security is lowest value.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Your phone reserves some of that for video memory which i can't remember how much it ends up being. Honestly there isn't a reason to even have a task killer on anything after android 2.3. All it does is kill apps that will silently relaunch I'm the background as background process to make for quick relaunch and use power in the process; Unless your running 20+ apps at once it's pointless.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
It takes memory to run your phone's software and installed apps.
Edit: my available ram after a reset and clearing the ram. I have removed what I don't use from the stock rom so my numbers won't be the same. As far as I understand you cant free up the whole 3gb ever.
That's what I tried to do via something called stock app uninstaller or something but I'm still only seeing 1500mb when I kill all my apps. My gf's s4 says 1200mb via same app killer. Can you recommend an app to do so with? I also cannot find the stock Samsung app killer ANYWHERE but see the app in my system apps folder, is there a weird method to access it?

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. As it fills up, the oldest programs drop off and the RAM uses the most recent apps to hold for quick access. You are accomplishing nothing by trying to free up more RAM.

Mmmm. I guess technically that's mostly correct. Though a bit misleading.
Ok.quick primer.
Yes, android pre loads things it thinks you may use into memory, this is a good thing and reduces launch times.
And yes, as android needs free memory it will close apps that have not been opened recently and attempt to free that memory.
In most situations for most people this is perfectly acceptable behavior, and is how you'd normally want your phone to function.
However there are gains in both speed, and battery life to be had by modifying how this process is done.
And one of the simplest things you can do to help is to remove everything from your phone you don't use.
That is part of the issue, apps you never use and have no need for will also get loaded into memory, this isn't really a huge issue as they just sit there holding space till its needed for something else. Though there can be a noticeable improvement to not having useless things in memory.
There is in fact a (admittedly small) performance hit to loading and unloading apps, especially ones that never get called, to and from the memory unnecessarily.
