I have had this ROM installed on my Galaxy s2 i777 for about 2 days. in this time, i have noticed that there is no way to clear RAM on it so when i am close to running out, the device starts to lag a lot and slows down. is there any way to clear the RAM? i know that the stock firmware has Program Monitor and i used that but this SuperNexus one doesnt have anything to clear my multitasking. I have tried to hold down the home button until the tasks pop up in the small windows but when i slide to clear them, im not sure theyre actually being killed.
Please help me find a way to fix this lagginess because i am thinking of going back to stock firmware.
I cant post this on the android development thing because i am a "New User" so i have to post it here
This is the ROM thats lagging/ how to clear RAM on JellyBean -->[ROM][AOSP][JB][4.1.1] SuperNexus - I777 - BUILD 2 [12-08-12

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just download a task manager or task killer from the market and kill the apps to free up the ram?
Lol idk! I just restarted the phone because it started to lag/ freezeup . When I checked ram there was only 64mb free out of around 800. After I restart it the phone works fine but I guess I have to reboot frequently

If your phone does not lag, or if performance has not changed I wouldn't worry to much. I have been using this rom for a few days now with no issues with speed or performance, so I wouldn't worry to much

Auto-Brightness & Picasa photos
Anybody having issues with the auto-brightness not working 100% of the time?? The screen takes incredibly long to change brightness levels on the few times it does work.
Also, I've been having an issue with not being able to view my online picasa and google + albums in the gallery.

It's all about ram. If you have 512 mb and running ICS or JB, just forget it..1 gb would be just ok, if you don't open much apps. You can set priority of apps in some tasks manager, maybe system tuner? Never tried... Waiting for the galaxy note with 2 gb!

Android is a totally different operating system than iOs (and also requires more Ram for itself)
It runs a lot of tasks in the background unlike iOs, which makes it a lot more adaptable and flexible but also more resource-intensive.
Secondly apps are categorized in groups, which are then consecutively killed based on their OOM (Out of memory) score, the lowest group being "empty app" and regrouping all apps that are no longer being needed. Typically "empty" is killed when there are 90MB left (customizable if rooted).
First off you may want to check what eats your Ram (Java is one of the worst languages for Ram in the entire universe) and kill/freeze/remove those processes.
Then take a look into zRam for extended Ram (swap) and set swappiness to 99
There once were experimental patches that forced selected tasks into swap instead of killing them but since they were hooked right into memory management, that used up lots of Cpu cycles and caused strange behaviours - sadly.
Btw, needing 1Gig for Ics or Jb is just bollocks. Galaxy S1's run awesome under Ics and even such devices as the 256MB Ace get a lot better.

Sent from my GT-I9300
when you want to leave the browser in the background do you press back button or home? I have the experience with facebook app that if i press back than when i get back to the app it reloads as if i closed it, but if i press home then come back to the app it's there as i left it. As to the browser can't really say anything as I use maxthon browser and don't usually have reloading problems.
One such app is "Advanced tools".
However it is strictly recommend to leave those values alone unless you REALLY know what you are doing since tweaking these values without any knowledge will only worsen the problem or make your phone more or less unusuable with lag.

No it doesn't.. It somehow auto closes. I've read somewhere android auto closes inactive tasks.

No!!!
I explained a few posts earlier exactly when and how Android kills processes. Inactivity is a LRU factor but certainly not the trigger to kill an app.
Two words: v6supercharger,swap!

Question
Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone actually found a solution to this problem? I've tried supercharger, minfree manager, RAM manager pro, and Galaxy Tuner. None have proven to be an actual solution to the problem that seems to be baked right in to the heart of all versions of Android after eclair (I'm actually on the Epic, not the GS3).
Is this fixable or am I just chasing my tail on this one?
bill
UPDATE: Current list of things tried
- Supercharger/Bulletproof
- MinFree Manager
- RAM Manager Pro
- Galaxy Tuner
- "build.prop" trick
- "local.prop" trick
- Auto memory manager application
Hello everyone i am starting this thread to see if there is anyone haave the sam problem.I tried basically everything (except rooting ) reinstalling the software,boosting up with tge different apps evrything but it seems to be not helpful.I mean ICS is not so bad itself on SXS but it looks like something is causing the lack of RAM and that's why my phone is bugging and being slow.For the RAM i found oyt that from the avaliable of 635MB i only have 48 free and than i have to restart my phone.So i tried Task Killers and stuff like that and honestly it wasnt so helpful.So o googled it and i found out that it is up to Android to kill apps when necessary itself,and that i shouldn't use any apps such as task killers just let the android work for himself.Than i think my android doesn't work well than.So anyone found a solution for this?And please if you would tell me if this is up to hardware or software thing?

What build are you? .452 or.1.58 or 2.45? The latest one seems to have fixed my problem I had with it. I generally have 200 Mb free now.
But to not use a lot of heavy apps that stay ob background, that is what kill the RAM.

This phone supposed to be 1GB ram, however it drop to 620mb+ because of the driver need to run this phone. It's mean that 370mb of the ram can't be modify to use.
My experience with my previous phone x8. It's ram is only 168 in stock rom. But nowaday dev could create kernel with updated driver which use less ram! So now it reachs 185mb!
I hope dev here could do the same to our beloved XS!

The only shock to me is that the gap between the two is so small given GEL is coming from a much improved system in terms of system resource usage. I can only hope that once it is integrated with KitKat itself it is somehow lighter.
Seriously..what's the point? Is this HTC wildfire thread or am I missing something..

The Google launcher is mostly just placeholders for search. Its bare bones. All pure stock android is always basic. Everybody wants it and says they want the stock experience and then a couple of weeks go by and they are running a 3rd party launcher cause stock has no options. Lg made a launcher with options and therefore uses more resources.
I use nova launcher and I get 1GB to 1.2GB of free ram after I cleared taskmanager. BTW I also disabled a some apps.
It is nice but could really use more screens

There is a reason 3 gigs gonna be next std. Oems are great inventing but carp at optimizing. Well used ram is good use, wasted ram because daemons and launcher tricks you don't use is just a waste of resources.
I'll test the launcher, autokiller is a bit to aggressive when low on memory, imo.

Hello, All!
I received an S4 as a gift two days ago for my birthday (MK2 build), and immediately rooted it. Annoyed with the ridiculous amount of bloatware on the device, I took it upon myself to begin deleting unwanted apps via Titanium Backup. I didn't think I uninstalled anything that I needed,I tried to stick to just the Samsung, Verizon and Amazon apps, but can't remember everything I uninstalled. Initially, I didn't notice any negative effects of my actions. That is, until I went to open up my gallery, Which freezes the phone for two seconds, then gives me the "Gallery has stopped" message. As for the camera, when I open it, it stalls, then opens. But when it opens, I can still see some of my other app icons around the border, and the camera itself, although open, doesn't work at all.
Any suggestions? What did I uninstall? I assume this can be fixed?
Thank you in advance,
Matt

Indeed I did. I ended up getting my Odin on. At which point, I reactivated my Xposed Modules. After doing this, my camera and gallery took a dump again. So I narrowed it down to the mods (not sure which one, I just deactivated all), opposed to getting crazy with my uninstalling in Titanium backup. Thanks for the responses, fellas.
