Does removing bloatware actually help the phone speed and ram wise?
Its negligible

I'd say, at very least you can save the space, both of RAM and internal sdcard, for some other apps. And also reduces the useless app icons in the launcher /drawer

Not saving space on /sdcard. They're in /system/app and this space cannot be re-used for /data
As per what rootSU said....it makes negligible difference to either, and in some cases if not done selectively, will slow the device/cause problems/etc
What is safe to remove?

There is a fu8ll list of apps safe to remove at the top of the themes and apps section
The only way you'd see a storage difference is if you modifed the /system partition and put unneeded space to the /data partition.
Would possibly be doable by (hex) editing the pit file.

Yes, sorry, what I meant is that phone's internal storage ( 16 GB comes with phone and around 3 GB occupied by system ) that 3 GB occupied space was what I was trying to say here

Hi guys,
How can I remove those unwanted icons for apps that were installed on the SD card. It happened after I flashed my device with an official ROM without removing the SD card. But I formatted it later and those icons appeared.
I installed them from the market again but it's still there.
Please advise

Hold your thumb down on them and drag then to the delete bin/icon like you would with any normal app.
Cooza, no, the icons are in applications menu, not on the homescreen.

Just uninstall them as per usual (Menu - Edit - Minus arrow). I've seen this happen a few times when I remove a system apps using titanium backup.

A bunch of thanks, perfectly worked! I think this option wasn't available in v2.3.3 isn't it?

Yep it's been available since the S2s launch I believe. Personally it's one of my favourite TW features
I've also discovered the lockscreen's pattern, looks cool
Thanks anyway

Can someone refer me how to lock phone and contacts in memory. I know there is an option in jay's framework but I don't need whole framework just this option. No problem in editing apks and so just need to know what to edit.

Nobody knows?
Just use JKAY Framework its easy, and trust me once you do you'll never want to run your phone without it.
There is a thread on here about locking contacts and messaging in memory. Search and you should find it

There's an app called ''Pimp my rom''
This app has an option to lock apps in memory
Please search it yourself
Hitting the thanks button would be much appreciated if I help you somehow

No go. If I clear memory or reboot the phone, apps are removed from memory

Excuse my noobness, but what exactly is the purpose of tweaking the speed? I understand to read/write faster, but what applications will this benefit?

faster r/w access to the sd meaning cached data that apps use and any resources they might be accesing will be accelerated. A good place to see the effect first hand is in your gallery. Go to 124 or whatever the default is then scroll through your gallery and see the time it takes pics to load, then change to 1024 and save settings and go back to gallery... images load MUCH faster now... the same will be trueto some degree for just about every app because our virtual sd is our only sd meaning resources and behind the curtain magic is on the sd make sense?
You guys are talking about the Read Ahead Buffer size. I keep mine at 1024, but you can try higher values if you have a bunch of stuff on your sd card that you frequently access such as music, pics, and vids.
Just got my GS5 yesterday, and as soon as I got it I immediately took off all that T-Mobile and Samsung bloatware. But even after downloading clean master the RAM is always above 70%. Sometimes it's at 50-60%. But on my previous Gs4 I was able to have it below 40%. Anyone also have this issue? Or can I do something to have the RAM use less than 50%?

Do apps close due to RAM usage? If not which is most likely the answer then don't worry how much free ram you have . Let Android which effectively handles usage. Golden rule is unused ram is wasted RAM.

Not much you can do. Aosp is the answer something like CM down the line

Do not worry about ram usage guys..In fact touchwiz is not this hog most make it to be. It has actually gotten better. This lag people complain of is not lag it's animations the way Samsung intended them to be. Some apps need more optimization in the way they function. Unused ram is wasted ram its like being rich and having money but not using it. Apps that sit in ram are NOT running nor consuming any CPU usage. Ram helps apps run and load quickly for daily task. These days its all about optimization. Touchwiz vs Aosp is a mute debate they are made to operate in the same fashion but diffrently. In short don't worry s5 has plenty ram and android knows what to do.

clear 70% of ram just 1 click
Bro's i got a simple code for clearing 70% of your ram​
just do this simple steps :laugh:
step 1
* root your device
* then dowload the attachment "ram" View attachment ram.zip
* extract it then u get a .vnt file
* open it in memo
* and copy the text
'' ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 ''
step 2
install the apk root explorer link http://www.appsapk.com/root-explorer/
* then open your root explorer
*grant super user permission
*go to internal memory/system/
*change into r/w (rewritable)
step 3
*long press on build.prop
*then open with text editor
*paste that code at last of build.prop without space
step 4
REEBOOT YOUR DEVICE
and see the change when clearing the ram
EnJOYYYYYYYYY

Okay guys, so after using a lot of tweaks for the rom I'm at a point where my performance and battery life is pretty good. So here's the one one app which always saves battery life like a pro:
SetCPU - it's a life savor, try setting up some profiles in it for the different battery states and lock screen etc. By setting normal CPU on lock screen to 300 it got so much better battery life.
To find the app just search "SetCPU" in play store, it does require root acces.

Hmm, I am pretty sure that SetCPU needs a custom kernel with change-able clock speeds.

To overclock? Yes. To manage CPU profiles according to battery level, lock screen and so on. Only root is needed. Its only the frequency it changes

sorry for offtopic, before i factory reset i used rom toolbox pro for cpu profiles. i also found sd booster - it works for internal memory and external micro sd card.
i see there is standalone app for that also -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=pl

i don't know. imho it does not because it's about caching files, it's something like creating ram from int/ext memory and someone said:
Yeah it will degrade the life of the sdcard, which is why I advise users to perform due diligence in the Disclaimer/Warning.
But from the research I did it seems that the degradation is negligible enough that something else in the device will break before the sdcard. Or even more likely the user will replace their device due to pace of technology before the degradation is really noticed.

creating 256mb swap partition is more than actually making 4mb cache so i think it is barely impossible to damage the storage even because we download many apps or games so the storage is filling with data too
it is only my opinion
