My friends I need your help otherwise I will really be crazy or smash in my S3.
Firstly, I am an experienced user for flashing ROM, kernel etc. So You can ask me, if you need anything detailed.
I have serious RAM problems with my S3. My apps always restarting themselves including my Launcher, Nova. Because of this problem I jumped from ROM to ROM and waited with hope for every update in ROMs. But no help. I have this problem in every ROM I used and maybe the problem is hardware related. I don't know... I need your help about this issue.
I tried Archidroid 5.1 and Blisspop ROMs for a long time ( 6-7 months) and yesterday flashed NeatROM 4.3 to get rid of this problem but it is even worse in this ROM. When I go to working apps list from settings I see every second an app starts itself including Launcher and free RAM is around 15-90 MB. Since the launcher starts itself, apps and widgets loads themselves everytime, when I go to homepage from an app or settings. I always use greenify and now in NeatROM 4.3 I use it with xposed modules of it. Also I don't have so many apps running in the background but I don't know why I experience these issues.
Now, I use NeatROM 8.3 Jellybean 4.3 with Boeffla Kernel 5.1. After made a clean flash, I restored my apps with Titanium Backup with app+data. Then ı flashed Boeffla Kernel with wiping dalvik and cache.
My apps running in the background and approximate RAM usage for them is like this.
Nova Launcher >>> 35-60 MB
SwiftKey Keyboard >>>15-45 MB
Handcent SMS >>> 20-50 MB
Poweramp Music Player >>> 15-30 MB
Beautiful Widget >>> 5-20 MB
Jorte Calendar >>> 7-15 MB
Greenify >>> 7-15 MB
Adhan Time PRO >>> 10-20 MB
Beside these apps, Google Play Services has 3 apps and consuming at least 60-90 MB
I didn't install Facebook, Messenger etc. apps that consume a lot of RAM. Also, Instagram, Swarm etc. apps are always greenified.
With Beoffla Kernel, I tried some tweaks in both Lollipop ROMs and now with JellyBean too. Tweaked Android LMK settings in Boeffla Settings but no help with it and I loaded default settings again.
Now Phone is so slow and buggy, When I open an app and turn back to homepage, launcher items reload themselves slowly. On Homepage of launcher, I have Total 4 widgets in 4 pages and shortcuts for apps. Are those widgets heavy for the launcher? (See screenshots)
You can see my screenshots for launcher homepages, working apps list and turned off apps with Titanium Backup.
What could be the problem? Should I remove some of the above apps too? Am I doing something wrong? Could Restoring apps with their data can be the reason? Are the above apps heavy for S3?
Or do you thing my S3 has a hardware problem?
Please anyone who have an idea or suggestion comment here. I am really so pissed of with these issues I want to flash a stable customized ROM and use it until I upgrade my phone to a new one. Please help me especially developers.
I have used many different ROMS too. Some rebooted, others just ran out of memory. I decided that the real problem was Lollipop based ROMs.
So some months ago I flashed Slim i9300 4.4.4 -- I currently use build 9 (with SF fix -- at least for the bugs affecting KK Roms).
I flashed it using TWRP 2.8.6.1 though I now use TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Kernel: Boeffla 2.9 (with a BC file -- built by Edossi)
Gapps: Slim addons full gapps 4.4.4 build 9 - 20150107 zip.
SuperSU 2.49.
I use Nova Launcher.
I have Xposed installed and run Gravity Box 4.4.4 and Greenify from there.
I have an add blocker installed.
I have many heavy apps including Chrome and financial apps. I use BBC iplayer and watch streaming sport broadcasts on it too.
It NEVER reboots.
(add: My 4 year daughter can operate my S3 and she watches youtube for kids without any crashes)
If you install these and you still have crashes, I suggest that you have some data in your folders which is causing problems and draining your memory.
If you need links to any of these, I will provide them.

Thank you. But I dont have any reboots. My problem isn't about Rebooting. My problem is about insufficient RAM. My phone does't operate well when there are some apps running in the background.

At least for 3 years I haven't used or tried any official firmware. My problem generally occurs after installing all the apps I used. On a clean flashed ROM I didn't have any RAM problem. I got problems after number of apps in phone and running in background increase. After I have customise the phone after flashing a ROM in a few hours phone gets slow and after 1 week it becomes unusable.

To be sure, I think you should try to install and use latest official firmware. with full wipe, root the phone, install and use TB to restore your apps over official firmware and try again your phone regarding RAM managment.
If you haven't problems anymore, then you don't have hardware issue and maybe your favorite apps aren't be the culprit.
Otherwise, if you still have RAM problems, then 2 options :
1- One or several of your apps are causing the RAM issue
2- You have hardware issue
I can't help anymore if you are sure that you have done everything possible with custom kernels / custom ROMs...
I think baltics is pointing you in the right direction. Best guess is there's an unruly app being greedy with your memory.
If you don't mind experimenting a little bit, I suggest you "step backward" a little bit, give KK another try and see if (after restoring your apps) you still are having problems. My personal recommendation is to try L-Droid KK here, because I used it for a daily driver for the life of the ROM, and it's bulletproof, while having about every feature you could ask for in a ROM. I only gave it up because after trying Lollipop, I really liked the format. The developer had planned to make a Lollipop, but his S3 died so he never started development.
Anyway, if you have problems with your equipment with this ROM, then you have either a hardware problem or a misbehaving app. And you can check the last choice by a VERY selective restore of your apps, one at a time.
Good luck, would be very interested to hear how it works out!
I'd suggest to install the latest cm11 nightly with boeffla kernel NG v2.12. Lollipop is quite memory intensive for S3. cm11 is relatively vanilla and kitkat runs well on s3. I'd also suggest using this profile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57850654&postcount=1422 but make sure you reset LMK values after applying. And if I'm not wrong, I believe the deadline governor caters more for multitasking? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you have greenify donation package with xposed? You have to equip these items on cm 12.1 greenifying all system and user apps except Google play services, media storage, contacts storage and your launcher. Always keep your apps fully greenified. Your problem is not that complicated. Just use this trick and your phone will fly. And as I said always keep the apps you don't need greenified.

Thank you so much all! I have greenify donation package and now on JellYbean 4.3 I have xposed module too. I greenified most of the apps and it is much more better but still launcher loads widgets and shortcuts after coming back to homepage. However I haven't experienced crash on other apps like in Lollipop ROMs. Actually at this moment I am so confused about which version to flash because from one side I want to use the latest stable Android build Lollipop on the other side I want a stable and fast phone. With Lollipop ROMs it seems not probable. Does Xposed module works without problem on Lollipop ROMs? If yes which xposed installer should I flash. I have tried BlissPop and Archidroid ROMs but not Resurruction Remix yet. I may want to give it a try. Also I want to try a clean Lollipop ROM without restoring the apps but just downloading them from Store. And just the essential ones not all the apps. I have approximately 140-150 Apps on my phone but just 6-7 of them are running all others are greenified. Does this still affect the Ram management? In my opinion the number of apps isn't important as long as there are enough space in internal SD card. Only the running apps are related to RAM management right? So it should not be a matter to have 25 or 250 apps in the phone. Only the running apps in background should affect the performance of RAM. Which ROM do you suggest and with which Kernel?
BlissPop,
ArchiDroid,
ResurrectionRemix,
Any KitKat ROM you offer,
Any Jellybean ROM you offer,
ArchiKernel,
Boeffla Kernel,
Which version of ROM and Kernel
I like the options in Blisspop to customise the ROM but I experience crash issues in almost every app after restoring 150-200 apps. Before restoring i didn't experienced issues but it didn't last long. I generally restore in 20 minutes after flashing a ROM.
Archidroid doesn't have customisation options in the ROM so generally it is my second option to give a try.
I flashed Resurrection Remix only one time 2 or 3 months ago and even though it was a full wipe install I couldn't start the phone with that version it was always in bootloop. So I never tried it again but I may give it a try if you suggest again.
Personally, I always prefered Beoffla Kernel (I don't find a spesific superiority) but for Lollipop it is end of devolopment and there is no stable one for Lollipop. I tried Archi Kernel for it but battery seems more consuming with it.
I believe now the problem isn't about a hardware 'cause the apps doesn't crash with Jellybean. Only they don't stay at memory after changing the apps. I mean multitasking isn't working properly and this should be because of the number of apps. What do you suggest for the apps I used. Is it heavy for S3. Nova Launcher, SwiftKey Keyboard, Jorte Calendar, Beautiful Widgets, Tesla Unread for Nova Launcher, Poweramp Music Player and system apps are running in the background and still phone says only 15 mb free ram. It is so weird how it is 15 mb. My Uncle has an Galaxy Ace 2 and it has about 570 Mb. it also has the same apps except for keyboard app but it has 100-150 mb of free RAM all the time and it is Android 4.1.1 version stock rooted.
How much RAM do the Android OS versions consume for the system?
I am so sorry for long replies. I want to solve this problems until I buy an LG G4 in a few months...
Waiting your comments... Thank you.
Mate in my opinion almost all of the latest lollipop rom builds are stable and perfect with greenify. I myself use Resurrection Remix rom and have no problem but if you don't like it you can try this too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-i9300-t3254215
In the other hand tomorrow the first official cm 13 build will be released and as I tried the unofficial ones they were pretty flawless. You can wait and use them but if you hate bugs use cm 12.1 latest builds. About your launcher I only recommend stock Google now launcher. It is goddamn fast. Don't use nova or anything else, even trebechut is buggy and laggy. And keep in mind : never ever hibernate Google services app and Google now app this can make you slow!! And about kernel: no need for any custom one use the ones that come with the rom. Trust me it will work fine. And I Strongly recommend open gapps they are amazing: www.opengapps.org and don't worry you don't need to tweak anything just keep greenified I always have 300-400 free ram?

Hi, this is Mohand,
If you're on S3, then apply this procedure to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
Unless you have hardware problems with your phone (as physical accident) you wouldn't experience any other issue with this custom rom: ArchiDroid-3.1.5
Why use Nova anyway? Stick to default launcher.
And you can use Dark Material for a change with an amazing set of layers.
Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
Hello,
I'm writing because I've seen this issue since a longer time on my phone.
When I restart sometimes some random app is missing. Thing is when I restart again the app is back in the list and works fine.
I think some time ago I found others having similar issues somewhere hidden in other links on Google but I can't find them anymore for the same of this thread x_x
Normally people seem to have trouble with (all) apps on sd card disappearing after reboot. I don't use that feature; I install everything on internal memory and it is always some other app (random). And the app returns working normally after restart.
Note: the missing app I see missing normally through the system itself, as the app is not listed under apps. So nova launcher and others also do not display it.
Anyone seen this too?
I noticed that titanium backup restores the missing app fine and then the app works without a restart. Also I checked the directory /data/app and also found the apk of the missing app.
How does android get the available apps on boot and how would it forget some of them? And how to fix...?
I'm on android 4.4 (slimkat) on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with leankernel.
Thanks!

Hi , did you tried to flash stock firmware with odin or SmartSwitch and see if the apps are missing again ?
Sorry, I was absent and did not receive a message for this thread.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, it is hard to see. I'm happy with this rom so I'm having a difficult time using other roms. I cannot recall having this on another rom I used before for a few months (bobcat rom, based on Kitkat Samsung stock).
It might be worth reinstalling the current rom for testing. Seeing everything up though takes its time though.
I was kinda hoping someone had that experience and pointed to something like some xposed module which I love. It is not easy to test because I mostly do not know/notice there is an app missing. Just sometimes my quick settings times with the apps show "error". Then I know something is wrong. So easily weeks pass by until I find this again...
Hey there XDA community and Pocophone users and owners. I have recently encountered a problem with Snapchat on my phone which locks my account due to the reason of "3rd party applications". This has started occurring on the 17th February. Since then, it has been occurring everyday, causing it to increase in duration each time and this has been quite a frustrating experience. I am running MIUI Stable 10.2.2.0 Global with stock kernel. My phone is rooted with Magisk 18.1 and passes the safetynet test. I am also using the stock Snapchat Alpha app. I have never encountered this problem before, but now that the problems have arise, it has caused as such. I have tried using magisk hide to no avail as the symptoms continue to persist. My suspection is that it is either the MIUI camera port or the Google Camera by San1ty. I also set the lib for the Google Camera to Xlib V2 if that is relevant. My reason for suspection is because the problems I had encountered came soon after I had installed both these apps. After my Snapchat account was locked again, I have since removed both of these applications from my phone in order to see if they were the cause of the problem. I will be checking tonight if my account will still get locked after doing this. I just ask for you fellow Pocophone owners and Snapchat users, have you ever had this problem? And if so, how were you able to fix it?
This happened to me too right now it's the second lock (24 hours) so somebody would better search for a fix. I think something related to magisk triggers the snapchat. Also I am using a J5 2017 (prometheus lite rom ).
i think because root

To all those that have rooted your Galaxy tab S6's. Have you found any problems that make you wish you hadn't rooted? I'm getting one soon and am planning to root it, mostly for ViperFX but also the utility and to match with my rooted phone. They always warn for things not working, like OTA or KNOX or Bixby e.t.c.
Please tell us if you'd had any issues.
I have my tab rooted for adaway and root apps.
Surely if you root, you will trip Knox and lose the option to get official software updates. .
I used to hate Knox. It was the reason that I rooted my previous galaxy tablet.
But now I find the secure folder is quite handy. The stock rom is stable and reasonably smooth. I don't think that I need to root tab s6.
Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk
My previous tablet Tab A 10.1 with S pen and 3 GB Ram was slow, so I rooted it and got rid of all the bloatware. It felt faster for awhile until I bought the Tab S6. There's no need for root. The Tab S6's Snapdragon 855 and 6 GB of ram is a beast even with the four bloatware apps.
I mainly use the tablet to watch videos and surf the web. I might play some games but nothing too crazy. The only reason I would root my tablet is if Pokemon Go was scaled correctly to the 2560 x 1600 screen resolution. I would spoof with a tablet. My phone already does it better.
I've not found any reason not to root, but not many reason to root either - I just want more control and to have TWRP . I'll never use my Tablet for things like S-Pay, so losing them means nothing -
The only thing I'm disappointed to lose is Secure Folder, but I can accept that and hopefully in the future there will be a module or something to get it working again. There's not really anything else I've missed since rooting.
Overall, the ability to run adaway and Vanced has definitely been worth losing Secure Folder. I've seen a few people mention Viper4Android, but I haven't researched it much or installed it, the quad AKG-tuned speakers in the Tab S6 are great so I'm unsure what the benefit would be.
I've not noticed any problems since rooting except a few random reboots - Knox obviously doesn't work anymore, but it isn't causing any issues - Bixby works fine. OTA will no longer be available I assume? But should be able to use Odin to flash should I ever need/want one.

I've not found any reason not to root, but not many reason to root either - I just want more control and to have TWRP . I'll never use my Tablet for things like S-Pay, so losing them means nothing -

Secure Folder is for hiding stuff you don't want people to see if you let them use you tablet.
Once rooted, you lose OTA updates. If you want to update your tablet, you have to flash stock firmware then root it again.
The times and the ROMs have changed, means there are less reasons to root compared to some years before. We have a system wide dark mode even in some apps, ads can be blocked via private DNS, clock can be centered via GoodLock and all without root. Besides we can expect two major android updates on tab s6. So I`ll wait with rooting ... . I just rooted my s8 after two years, which is petty unusual for me to wait this long but there were no reasons like I just wrote. But since there will be no android Q for the s8, I'm sure there will be custom ROMs with Q sooner or later.

Now have a working Secure Folder with root - So there's 0 reasons not to root for me personally.

I have my tab rooted for adaway and root apps.
Surely if you root, you will trip Knox and lose the option to get official software updates. .

Why not just use the Private DNS option in network settings, with an adblocking DNS solution like AdGuard, or even NextDNS?
Exactly!
