Guys, I just wanna ask few basic questions about the Clean Master Application which we can basically find in Google Play.
Is it safe to use ? I just wondering, because aside from the positive comments of its users, there are also negative feedback which specifically saying that it has a bad effect to phone's battery life. Some are saying that it will just drain your battery.
Thanks.

Yeah it's safe to use as its not a virus or malware.
However android has a built in 'task killer' which frees up memory as it sees fit.
A lot of these clean up applications will kill an app which will relaunch straight away therefore causing more battery drain as the app is having to launch again immediately.
If you think your phone is too slow/the battery isn't good enough give it a shot for a few days and see if it is beneficial for you.

I personally believe the app is spying on people, I'm doing lot of reserve engineering i will find out what is happening..
I personally suggest you don't use it.

I find Clean Matter eats battery and is a little to aggressive with their advertising and permissions.
Try Power Clean, it's a deeper and easier on battery.

I personally hate that app since it ate a lot of battery drain, you dont need it since we already have a built in task killer just on left side of your home button lol
I got rid of it. Now I use CCleaner, which I suggest to use over Clean Master

Another Fun fact - MIUI Cleaner is also powered by clean master..
I personally believe that Clean Master is a fake app. I tried it and found that it eats up battery rigorously. If you want to see that just go to settings-> apps-> Running apps and you will see a lot of process from CM. It actually do nothing other than feeding your phone with junks and ads. If you are a rooted user, try the Purify by King root. I have tried it and found that it is really effective.

Anything by Cheetah Mobile is junk. Everyone knows that. The only thing Clean Master should be cleaning is all Cheetah Mobile apps including itself.

I'm posting on behalf of my brother who isnt used to forums, he has had his galaxy ace since release and as far as i know it is fully stock not even rooted. Unfortunately its incredibly slow and has been for quite a while, before he goes and buys a new phone i wanted to check here for a possible solution.
Thanks in advance

Slow with opening apps? Or slow user interface? It shouldn't be slow unless he has tonnes of apps.

Do not make him buy a new phone, this phone can be hella snappy actually!
Start by rooting your phone, you can easily find a tutorial just by searching the forum or via google.
My personal preference:
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
Tweak: V6 SuperCharger Update 9 Beta 6.2.2 (tutorial here)
When installing the tweak, chose option 7 (agressive for 512HP)
APPS: Autostart (find it in market)), preventing useless apps to start, but you must have chose the apps manually.
Auto Memory Manager(find it in market), chose agressive and save the changes.
If he is new at these sort of stuff it could take some time to get it right but it's totally worth spending a day fixing it, he'll get a fast a snappy phone in long term.
Has he tried using the task manager to clear memory? It sounds like he downloaded an application that doesn't behave the way it should (memory/cpu hog). If clearing memory helps he has to find and uninstall the misbehaving app(s), i think there's an app called watchdog or something which monitors memory and cpu usage of all installed apps.
If that doesn't help, go i'd go for a reset. And before buying a new phone, give the custom roms a go because they do tend to increase performance quite a bit!
Thankyou for the quick replies everyone very helpful, he gets force closes on twitter and facebook all the time and also it just randomly shuts down aswell.

Factory reset needed. And you could help him get a custom kernel.

hi! regarding the suggested tweak? is there a detailed summary on how to use and instal this type of tweak? ive been reading the post and it seems it only has the overview.. thanks!
my advice is just forget all those mumbo jumbo tweak script. its already incorporated in cfroot kernel. its also doesnt make sense. all it does is doing the same thing. tweak vm dirty, tweak minfree, tweak stagefright and so on with the only difference is the fancy mancy name to make it looks yummy. people just install 2-3 script with different name when all it does is the same, and u actually already done it when using cfroot.
You might also want to avoid CM because it's unstable, just flash a stable custom rom that's still in active development. Make sure to get the latest cfroot kernel version.

They have, but UK operators are notoriously slow with pushing their own, branded versions. Especially on a midrange phone like the Ace. Avoid CM, especially Grif's as that has quite a few bugs. Some bugs in Cyanoace but not as many from my experience.
For starters, root your phone (or get a custom rom with integrated custom root), than download Titanium Backup from Market, and then uninstall all the unnecessary apps, also, delete app and internet cache. That all should make your phone better than new
I would agree about using cfroot.
Root phone with cfroot, titaniumbackup pro backup to sdcard, factory reset, download mode and flash latest stock rom from sammobile.com, root again and then restore apps only, only restore app+data for games.

Sorry if this has been talked about. But didn't find much on it. Are anyone using it? Do you recommended it? Free or paid version? I have tried the free one but didn't notice any thing.

Worst app I ever bought. At first I thought it was the mutts nuts but as I learnt more about what my phone was really doing I realised that I used more battery with it running than without.
Don't get me wrong though its brilliant if you hardly touch your phone but if like me you cannot put it down then its absolutely pointless, I much preferred using a combination of apps to save battery's, llama a free task automation app, autostarts to stop things running in the background and fast reboot pro to free up some memory.

Nowhere did I mention any task killer and just fyi I know perfectly well how androids built in task killer works!
I also know that the android task killer has exactly the same flaw deep down as any auto taskkiller, all apps have certain parameters which when met will enable an app to start. These parameters range from things such as switching on wifi or mobile data to simply plugging in your charger therefore even the built in taskkiller is slightly flawed as an app which has been killed before can just restart as soon as one of its parameters are met.
Check out the app I mentioned autostarts which isn't a taskkiller as such but more stop the task parameters from being met in the first place.

What are your thoughts on using task killers or memory management apps on our S4s? I'm a bit mixed and not sure which one's are of the best benefit or work correctly.
I have the app: Temp/Cpu Widget : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2
which shows the "Free Memory" amongst other things on my home screen.
I definitely notice overall screen transitions and the loading of apps, ect... much more fluid when the free memory reports around 700ish or above
If it dips below 500 things seem to lag a bit.
Only way I've found to retrieve the memory back to the preferable amount to gain back performance is to use one of several available task killers or memory free up apps but I've read mixed reports on using these.
Is there a better way at keeping the max free memory for performance OR is there a preferable memory management tool you are using?
Lol! I was expecting quite a bit of chatter on this but nothing. :angel:
Maybe I should have put it in the Q & A section but I felt like not only did I point out a useful app being that Temp-Cpu app I linked to playstore but brought up an open discussion about said apps and in regards to the S4.

The s4 practically has a built in task manager so not many would even consider an extra app to accomplish the same task.

Agreed. That is what I use when on a TW ROM. On CM I just use the close all function in the recent apps window. Though RAM never seems to be as scarce on AOSP ROMs so I rarely clear apps.

I use Clean Master and Lagfix running stock rooted touchwiz and have no lag whatsoever. Most the time I have 40-50% free memory, and I'm not a fan of task killers but this works great. Lagfix is a free app in the play store. Its similar to fstrim on a computer and manufacturers are going to be including it in future releases.

Thanks for reminding me of Lagfix. Giving that a shot.
I've found that the "broom" feature in "Floating Toucher" --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatmob.floating.touch&hl=en
works rather well in conjunction with what I mentioned earlier about "Free memory reported" by the App in the OP and performance.
Guys im just curious if you use Task killer for your ZU device?
its like none of u here discuss about using an application to kill running applications that can slow down our device
due to the shortage of RAM.
Thanks

Task killers actually mess up android, it's designed to cache as many programs as possible for fast app switching. Ive never had any problems with memory shortage on ZU ever.
The reason it's not discussed is because no one uses one.

Hi
I'm new on xda. I don't know much about rooting or any other info.
I have the experia z2. My battery life is good but I like to look after my device best I can. I've been running advanced task killer to kill apps and save battery life. But I recently read task killers are no good for your device.
I tried using greenify, but didn't like having to manually hibernate running apps myself as not rooted.
Could anyone suggest the best memory/battery life saver app etc I should use.
Any help appreciated thanks

1. Battery saving, ram freeing or any of those apps never work, they harm more then they do good
~Greenify is one that does
2. An app that helps alot with battery life is Unbounce or nlpunbouncer, its an xposed module which stops GAPPS from keeping your device awake for %25 of the time
Xposed module requires xposed installer and that requires root
Thanks. So I'd need to root my phone to get this app then?
I'm not really keen on rooting, as I don't know how to
How do I go about rooting my z2?
Is it safe, as I'm afraid of 'bricking it'

If you dont know much about rooting then leave it in the dust
And rooting is safe if you have common sense ;D
If any questions ask
I suggest greenify and stamina mode which you can find under power options, best you can do for battery life without root
Thanks
I already use stamina and just got greenify. My battery is kinda good but I just like to open up my device to more.
I would like to root to get custom roms etc.

Rooting and flashing are safe and they arent at the same time
Its all down to your common sense and reading
Rooting alone will grant alot more control and customization/modding
Flashing alows even more freedom but you are restricted by a locked bootloader (not recomended unlocking untill you know more)
Flashing custom roms there are a couple of things you should know
~if your bootloader is locked then you can only flash stock based custom roms
~flash roms only For your Xperia Z2, this applies for alot of mods, usualy try picking from the z2 sections
Right ok cool.
That's what I'd like to do. Customise and have more control.
I just don't really understand some things I read about it. I just need to read up on it and get to know everything
