Hi.
I just noticed in CM7 RC0 there is "only" a maximum memory of 386 MB. (settings - about phone)
Can you tell me why not the whole 512 MB RAM arent used?
How about DSC?
I havent noticed anything in the settings there.
its the same for all rom... stock or custom... its not just streak... other android phone as well... the declared ram will always not the same... why? google for answer...
Hello, i'm using a cyanogenmod 9 on my optimus sol and i want to decrease ram usage of some system apps even modding them, only the settings app occupies 50 MB of ram, on gingerbread it occupies 10 MB of ram, it's abnormal.
Another question is, how to theme a stock app? I have two apk, one that i want to use as "BASE" and the other where i want to port the "gui", in poo words, i want to port the gui of an apk on another apk, for example i have :
Settings.apk = Base
Settings.apk = Different GUI that i want to port
Last question but less important than the others, is it possible to port an apk builded only for ICS to a GingerBread device?
Thanks.
Hello Guys,
I found in a website the MT15a .587 rom. I believe that will help some of the users that might need another frequencies to use 3G data .
The rom is from T- Mobile. It comes with Mcafee antivirus, Google Movie and a nice native Save Battery App (that automatically disable some phone features when the battery reach 20%). It comes with the other softwares that has in the nordic, except the adobe. The nice thing, that even without rooting in the begginner, just cleanning all the possible apps, I Got more than 260mb free of space. The rom also I dont know why is a little bit faster on my phone, I Got almost 4700 points in antutu using all stock features.I also got more free ram, 173mb free. I dont know how to extract the kernel in the proper way, so I rooted it and after I flashed again using flashtools, excluding everything , except the kernel ( I guess is not the best way).Peharps someone could extract the kernel for the other users.
Anyway here is the link :

Here is the screenshot:
Most of the time the ram is like that:
A fast, smooth running Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 with Nougat 7.1.1, is it possible? Sure, but it is best not to use the latest ROM build. After many tests and comparisons of various Nougat ROMs based on LineageOS I've found out this. The development of the ROM is ongoing very quick, but it's made for many devices. The performance of the CPU is not taken into account. Our S2 is now some years old (since 2011) and has only a CPU with two cores. Standard today is at least a phone with quad core CPU.
Comparing a Nougat 7.1.1 ROM from February 2017 with a current build clearly shows you that the older one runs much faster. This is mainly noticeable when scrolling or if you open apps. In the current ROM there are often lags, it simply needs more performance.
To get the maximum out, a few tweaks with a modded Kernel Adiutor from XDA are necessary, the CPU frequency is set to minimum and maximum 1200 MHz. The battery drain of course is a bit higher - not much, but you have more joy with a smooth running S2.
What do you need for this?
I did made the best experience with AICP 12.1 ROM, build in February 07 2017. you get it here. It runs very stable for daily usage. Only the camera app Snap.apk is buggy at video recordings. You can change this by installing the latest one in my attachment.
The modded XDA Kernel Adiutor is attached too.
The CPU and ondemand governor settings (CPU Governor Tunables) you see on my screenshots. Make sure that the "Apply on boot" toggle is set to on.
Can you tell me where I could find jelly bean compatible CWM recovery ?

Jelly Bean has its own, "built-in" recovery. Unfortunately, I am not aware of whether you can take another recovery for it. I know there is a flashable CWM recovery via Odin for the S2 (I have it here). But this is intended for flashing custom ROMs.
@Nobby1960
Hi, good instruction.
Useful article.

I allways used this file "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-4.00b21-signed-JB.zip" and installed it via stock Recovery. (no waranty void message after rebooted system). Copy this file on your SDCard, reboot in Recovery Mode and flash it. Now you can keep runing your device on stock ROM or you can install a custom one with this recovery.
The link to AICP 12.1 ROM is not working; I get 404 Not Found.

Thank you for information. The ROM is no more available on the AICP server. I did upload it to a one click hoster (upload.net) The link in my first post works now again.
Would you still recommend this rom today ? or would the official lineage 7.1.2 be better than this now ?

Compared with the latest AICP 12.1 build from 07/10 it's not necessary to jump back to this older version. The performance from all latest Lineage based ROMs became better. The only thing I use the Kernel Adiutor with the performance settings from my first post. I think you can also use the latest official plain vanilla Lineage 7.1.2.
Hi,
thanx for your instructions. I have tried it!
One problem with the setting where i'm unsure: at the end of the settings, the core2 disabled itself and the minimum frequency was set to 100 automatically. I changed the frequency back to 12.000. Is that OK, or should i leave it at 100 ?
btw. I still have installed stock_kernel_twrp_1120. Is that OK, or do i need another kernel?
Anyway, at this point the CPU tweak has made the perforance a little faster, but it's still much worse than Android 4.12
On 4.12 i was running 5 aktive apps the same time without problems. (Navi, RadarWarning, Mp3, GPSLog, + 1 temporarly app)
On Lineage 14.1 the Mp3 already beginns to stutter and the systems gets very slow when i run only 2 Apps. If i start more apps they beginn to chrash.
So i want to ask, is it possible somehow to get the same (or even better) performance with a custom rom like with the original stock 4.12 ?
Thanks for Info,
Rooster
Hi,
hmm - all settings are correct from the governor like the screenshots in Kernel Adiutor? Both CPU frequencies should set to 1200 MHz. In idle time core 2 stops to save battery, but it must switch up at load to 1200 MHz automatically.
The stock_kernel_twrp_1120 is okay to install this ROM. If you boot in recovery after installation you must see the newer TWRP 3.0.2-1 and you can flash the latest TWRP 3.1.0-0 as an .img file.
The problem with Nougat and most modern apps is, the generally RAM consumption gets higher and higher - that's the biggest bottleneck. So the S2 with only 784 MB comes faster to its limits at multitasking than with the latest stock ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and older, more slim apps. Unfortunately there is no chance to get a higher performance with Nougat. There you feel the age of our good old phone from 2011, it came first with Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place I just need some help. Why is it that every EVERY time I have tabs open in Firefox on android and then I move to another app for a few seconds then I go back into Firefox it like reloads ALL my tabs I have to sign back in and its super annoying how can I fix this? And yes I have plenty of ram free I'm talking like 1 gig of ram free at almost all times
Information provided by you is very limited , you didnt even mention the rom you are running it on, kernel, firefox version etc.
please do so, and as much info you might provide.
My bad I did not think that information would be relevant to Firefox tabs ya know. But anyway I'm on viper os ROM android 9 and I'm using predator kernel 6.0 and my Firefox version is 68.7.0. Its done this nobmayter what kernel or version of Firefox I use thanks. And it even did this when I was on evira kernel and just using the stock kernel for this ROM as well.
