I'm currently using clean master with the 1 tap boost to free up My ram before I shut my screen.
Is this any good or is there a better app out there to free up ram etc

Free RAM is wasted RAM, closing running apps will conflict with the way android manages apps and have a negative effect on battery life.
Right so it's best not to do it then? As it's basically stopping and starting all time?

Ram managers/free'ers and battery life nonsens
Usualy are nonsens, android ram management is perfect, no need for them at all becauze they are often more harmful than useful
As 2posts above mentions, free ram is wasted ram,
Right, so I guess I assumed they did good when it's the opposite. Just what they want you to think so you download their app.
Thanks for that. Deleted it now and only have greenify. Went to sleep with battery at 81% and was same when I got up this morning

Usualy how it goes
Greenify, unbounce and a couple others (cant remember) are apps that always do good
Okay cool.
I'll just stick with greenify. As unbounce requires root? As I'm not rooted

Reading is your freind
Tips-
Dont install mods not for Xperia Z2
When it comes to flashing, same goes
Rooting is safe and fun so long as you alow access to apps you know are safe and are certified and known by xda
Ill remember more later
I've already read to only install mods that are only z2.
Just need to make sure I've got everything I need in place ready to use before I do it. And full understanding of how to do it (root)
I'll follow the step by step guide. As I would like to root

I know only one working app: greenify
This program hibernate applications, other ram program close app but system open it again - so the results is only battery drain

Well guys this is weird. While using chrome, music app stops working and closes automatically. It doesn't happen with any other browser. I'm on indisn firmware 4.1 1 right now, non rooted. Anyone has any suggestions or facing same issue?
One more question, is the high ram usage fixed in uk version lla or it's the same??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using. xda app-developers app
Its the ram usage...the phone automatically closes other apps for freeing ram so that apps that uses huge resources like chrome can work..since music player works in the background.the low memory killer feature force closes the apps...i have personally experienced this problem when using facebook flipboard etc..

One question though, what's the point of having a powerful phobe such as s3 if it can't even run 2-3 apps at a time?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try clearing recently used programs list...since recently used programs will be cached for quickly launching next time the user needs it.it will take up a lot of ram...also try using advanced system care from play store...this app proved useful to me and many others..if it still doesn't work..try to uninstall least used apps..since some services will run in the background and eats up ram..and still not working means..keep the post alive and we can expect someone will come up with a solution
Hope this helps..

Bump!
Well i've successfully rooted mu device and i hope there can be more ways now to make it lagfree. So can anyone please suggest any ways now? I don't wanna install any custom kernel or recovery. Just wanna tweak the stock ROM for good performance and multi-tasking.
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.
Hi. Few times a day a have huge screen lag. I Installed ram manager from Juergen app then uninstalled few apps which I don't use and still no changes.
Why memory is in high usage and how can I fix it?

Nothing wrong with your memory, thats how android works: http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
If you are using TouchWiz launcher, you can fix the lag by moving to other launcher (i suggest 'Nova Launcher'), using 'Greenify' to hibernate unused apps , or changing to another rom:
TouchWiz seems to work very smoothly on this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060403

get an app called disable service and another one called greenify..with greenify you can just hibernate a particular app if its running in background[user app in free version and system app in donation version]
with disable service you can stop google framework and services that are always working in background...but be very specific about disabling those processes coz some are important for play store functionality..
Maybe try a factory reset.. If it's so bad

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

It's a constant struggle Keeping Google Play Service happy under FireOS. If you want a permanent solution you should really consider a different rom. Assuming you are running 13.3.2.5 rooted you could install Safestrap v3 and Nexus with minimal effort/risk. You would retain the ability to use either FireOS or Nexus. You can follow this guide if interested. Although the disclaimer states 3.2.6 it will work just fine with 3.2.5.
If you have more questions please start a new thread in the Q&A section.
Honestly, I would use a Rom but I got the 8 gb version of the fire and that small amount of drive space gets filled up really quickly on its own.

Given the space constraints on a 8 GB device booting dual roms (via multiple Safestrap slots) is not realistic and you probably would not see a meaningful increase in user space with Nexus without twiddling partition sizes (risky). Really boils down to which experience you prefer. Nexus can replace FireOS as most (not all) Kindle/Prime functions can be fully duplicated with Amazon apps.
Alright. Thanks for your help. Anyway, for now I've managed to downgrade the play store services to 7.0.99 which doesn't seem to have the crashing issue.
