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

And you are using a task killer/ram optimization app why? Android will kill apps when RAM is low, and why would you need so much free ram?
Please correct me if I misunderstood though. Some devs prefer strict though I believe.

This isn't like task killer app... its not like once of those app u click kill all apps.
I'm just trying apps to get the best battry life out of my phone.
This app actually tweak stuffs unlike other apps. It helps u to get the battery life out of your phone I believe, if you can use it right.
So I was just asking if anyone is using this app and getting better battery life
Im just going to delete this app for now since I don't know how to use it and its draining my battery. If anyone is getting better battery life when using custom roms with it let me know.

its his phone to do with as he pleases...but to answer your question, some apps continuously run in the background (even after you "close" them), and there is absolutely no need for them. They chew up RAM and battery. I use a moderate combination of AutoMemory Optimizer, AutoStarts, and a conventional task killer. I keep my RAM squeaky clean cause thats how i want it. I dont like my OS waiting for it to get to an unnecessary low point before it starts "killing"

Auto killer ... is a tool used to enhance android's internal memory manager ... Unlike its name its not a task killer .. again you can use it to tell android when and how much memory to reclaim ..... I use the preset 'aggressive ', but to fully understand the settings I would suggest you go the the dev's website, he has a lot of useful info on there .....

one will argue that it saves battery my limiting application runtime. another will argue that it takes up more battery because the app keeps starting and stopping. Thats why you should always use a program like "Autostarts", which prevents certain apps from EVER opening in situations that they dont need to be open. If youre getting into task management, that should be your first step before anything else, cause that DOES save your battery.
im on android 2.3.7 (vodafone 845) and many games lag... is there any way to increase fps or atleast reduce lag (already rooted and used chainfire 3D with all of its plugins) thank you

I know why it lag,
Forgive me if I say anything wrong.
First, it is a mid-low end phone. If I'm right,it don't have a or a dedicated gpu. And the processor clock is around 600-800mhz? (Can't find this processor information)
And without a gpu, games can't load well.

This is true. Your device is actually a low end device. Having only 128mb - 179mb (accessible) ram (which is a major factor) would cause lag.
Go launcher is a Ram hog! It doesn't bother the gaming performance on my G2. I suggest try a different launcher so you can get more ram. I'm just taking a wild guess.

Anyone uses this app yet. It was recommend by Clemsyn on XDA as a better alternative to setcpu. I download the free version in the market, but the UI is a bit confusing. Seems like a little better optimization available.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I saw his recommendation and downloaded the free version. I its a little overwhelming as i'm still noobish, but it seems to have a larger breadth of options than set cpu. As far as its relative reliability, i'm not sure. There is no "apply" button for uv steps tho, so an unintentional finger slip can cause your phone to freeze! just try it out, see if you like it I guess

I have been using this ever since it came out it replaces a lot of apps out there and the CPU tuner is compatible with dual core phones and utilizes them completely. It has an app manager, auto starts, frequency controls, sd booster and many more uses. I for one think it is one of the best apps I have in my root arsenal .

I was using this for a little and noticed something weird im running the v6 supercharger scripts and in my memory settings the last mem setting would change from 275mb to 256mb. I tried everything so that it wouldnt mess with my supercharger scripts but no go. I unistalled it and everything has been back to normal. Anyone else notice this?

Hibernation its most likely which keeps the unnecessary apps in hibernate mode and lets you save battery .so with Greenify it lets you put your unwanted apps in hibernate mode and dont drink the energy of your battery , as suggested earlier read the op of better baytery stats and learn to use this app and see who is the culprit.

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.

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.

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
