When I first got my NS4G I was super impressed how fast it booted... like 20 seconds or so it seems. Now it is a lot longer after I've installed tons of stuff, I guess. But I checked using "autostarts" app and have disabled all but the bare minimum to launch at startup. Still though, my phone now takes 50 seconds to get to home screen from power on, while my fiancee's only takes 30 seconds (I'm guessing she has less stuff installed). I didn't think to time my reboot after flashing GRJ90 and rooting (and thus starting from scratch) the other night, but I'm betting it was like 20 seconds again like when I got the phone.
Any idea why it is so long after installing stuff? Any idea how to speed it up? 50 sec is still waaaaay better than my last phone. But 20 sec was just badass.
While I'm no developer, my guess is android needs to load all your apps during boot regardless of whether or not they will actively be running following start-up. Maybe it needs to scan them or run some kind of checkon the individual apps.
Deleting some apps should definitely help with the time.

When i start my phone its reported at 34% via task manager after a few hrs without using it AT ALL, its at 40%. I would figure if i had used programs i would have used up some memory but nothing not even a call.
Is this normal for the ram to get used up when not in use?
Well, your phone does things by itself, by checking for weather updates, email, phone resources, calendar/alarm checking, etc.
ya but i agree with him, they should be some time of timer on idle pgrams like a 1 hour grace period and after that hour is up, if the program is not used, it quits itself and releases the mean memory hold some of these programs have on our phone
The Touch Pro has more RAM then you will ever use (on it, not future devices). Just don't worry about it and it'll be fine.

I have all of that turned off, no data, no alarms or anything. Just use the phone for calling.
Hi all,
I have an apps idea but I am not a developer and thus will really love if a developer will try to do it for the communities.
It's to check when is your phone ready to be use after a reboot.
Often the time, I must look at my widget continuously to know if the phone has gotten stable to use after a reboot or not. So, I guess this would be a nice addition.
The idea is that the apps should start very early in the boot up process and monitors the CPU usage continuously.
If the CPU usage is less than 10% (or any other value) for 10 seconds (or longer), then the apps will prompt the user, either by a toaster, or via notification, or via sound/vibrate etc.
After the user learns that, the apps will shut down itself and no longer takes up any memory or juice.
What do you all think?
I had the same idea, and solved it with this tiny and handy application : CPU Notify
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beemer.cpunotify&feature=search_result
It is loaded at boot time, and you can observe that the CPU is at 100%. When it goes down to botton (green) steadily, the phone is ready.
I keep this application constantly since it is very small and battery friendly. It shows your phone activity like task manager in tray icon in Windows world.
Hi guys,
I have a USCC Mesmerize with EC10 PNP w/ none of the pack addons.
I would consider my phone to be very slim. I pretty much only use the camera, sms, mms, internet, & phone.
But still after my phone has been on for a while my process is up to 295/349 MB
I constantly use the stock task manager with Level 2 clear memory option to kill the active process.
When I do this I normally close anywhere from 5-12 process's. Sometimes I will get a drop to around 245MB and other times it will stick around 282MB
On a fresh restart my phone boots up with 164MB
I immediately goto task manager and do a level 2 clearing of the memory and end up closing 10 programs with a RAM use of 131MB
Is there anything out there app or otherwise I can use to stop and prevent all non-critical process's?

That sounds pretty normal from what I have seen. Are you having any issues or just like to see the Rom lower?
Actually android by design is supposed to run almost always at full ram/memory compacity. Using a task killer other than stock can give unwanted results. My phone runs the same as yours does. When you kill off task the systen will automaticly reload common and system apps. Its the nature of android. Unless your having really bad performance. I wouldn't worry about it.
Edit: Ninja'd.

I agree with akellar, that sounds pretty normal. I mean, are you actually suffering any performance issues? If you're not, then you're just worrying about nothing.
Similar stuff here. I use the level 2 clear as well, but mainly to save battery. I run the clear,just before I set it down for a no use period or prior to bedtime and it saves battery big time.

No not really any performance issues. Sometimes but its infrequent enough that I couldn't describe it.
That was mainly my thought was saving on battery.
Why have all this crap running if you aren't using it?
Technicly its not running. It is suspended. While it is in ram it isn't using any processing power until the app is brought to the foreground meaning you are using it. Android does this so these apps are ready to go when you need them. I quit using task killers other than the stock one a while back and noticed a big jump in battery and performance. I though they were helping me when in reality it was hurting me. Take a read on android and how it handles multi tasking. It explains it really well. I wish I had a link handy hut if you google it you will find several articles on it.

Yeah, you are actually wasting battery by having the screen on in order to end tasks that aren't actually running.
Either way, my battery lasts longer. I understand the logic, but in reality - my battery lasts longer.

I've read probably 20 or 30 articles on this explaining bboth sides and hundreds of user opinions who say to use them, don't use them, use them once a day, etc and why they think that. I really think it depends on what you do with your phone, because in my personal experience I am a heavy user of my phone, constantly switching applications and loading browsers and whatnot. If I don't use a taskkiller then my phone becomes unresponsive and almost unusable at times. I know you're supposed to stay away from them and I have tried that but it is really obvious that it is useful when I can press a button and have my phone actually work again.
For somebody like the OP that just uses it like a normal phone and not a computer like I do, you probably shouldn't use one unless you are really getting slowdowns. It all depends on what exactly is using the memory and not getting killed by the system.

I agree to an extent. I use the paid version of system panel to monitor apps like that from time to time. I use the stock task killer and do a level two kill after I have been on my phone switching between programs and such. And it does make a difference is performance. Depending on what you are dping depends on whether you should use one or not. I thinl the big depate is whether you should use an auto kill function. Its one thing to kill all task here and there to improve performance but another to have an app doing it every five or ten minutes. I think that's were the big battery drains happen. Anyway. To each there own and if they see it helps them in how there phone performs and are happy with the results, then maybe a task killer ia for them. For me. I just use the stock task manager and it works fine.

I'm using a Nexus 5, its my first Android device, and so my first time rooting.
I rooted yesterday using the Android SDK, and installed TWRP.
The root worked perfectly, and I have tested it. All I have done since rooting (unlocked boot loader at the same time, so I'm clean on stock), is install a few Play Apps like Twitter, WhatsApp and then BusyBox and dSploit.
I haven't added any customisations or anything, and my battery is now awful!
i.imgur/AkdAKjW.jpg (Can't post links yet)
My screen has been on for 50 minutes...
I have brightness on the lowest setting, have turned off vibrate on touch, turned off Wi-Fi, turned off Location, set to use 3G not 4G, set display to turn off after 15 seconds...
Im sure it can't be anything to do with the root, but I don't really know too much about it. Is there a problem with 4.4.2 and battery life?
What else can I do to improve it?
Ideally I'd like to be able to have a max of 3-4 hours screen time, and the device to last for 14-15 hours.
I was easily getting 14 hours before I rooted/updated, but now my battery life has just screwed up.
Why is the OS using up so much?

Is this not the first charge since you first saw the problem? The Android OS bug occurs sometimes. I would reboot and see how it is on the next full cycle.
sreen may be turning in coz some apps might be asking for root access.
I think you try greenify app and hybernate useless apps, m sure this will help you.
Hi,
I have my OP7pro since 3 months and overall I like it, but there are some things that f*** me up.
One of these things is that the device seem to change the display standby time (time until the display turns off) by itself every few minutes. Default is 15 seconds but I want to set it to 1 minute. I don't know how often I've changed again from 15 seconds to 1 minute again and I don't know what could cause this behavior. Until now my OP7pro is not rooted and I run Oxygen OS 9.5.11 with no modifications.
I have turned off every battery optimization features and RAM booster options I could find but the device keeps changing the settings.
Does anyone know what I could check? Is this OP related or Android 9? This is my first OP phone and also my first phone with Android 9. It is very annoying. There are some other annoying things but this would be another topic.
I would appreciate if some could help.
Thanks.

You could possibly go to the official OnePlus web site and register a bug complaint...which doesn't fix your immediate issue.
You can also try the painful factory reset to see if that helps. Drastic...yes...but sometimes this will clear out many cobwebs in the system and help smooth things out. Otherwise this is the first time I've heard of this issue.

Hmm.. do you have any Tasker profiles which might be doing that? I have set it to 30 secs and don't have any issue
