Is there a way to increase the ram on my phone? I wanna increase it so that my apps can run faster. Right now, they lag a lot.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
no, it is not possible to increase system ram.
but there are other options - like flashing a fresh rom and converting the filesystem to ext4. From there you can uninstall a lot of the extra programs that come with the carrier ROMs. And there are a few tweaks you can install that also speed up the performance of the phone.
Have you done any of this yet?
i've flashed Valhalla,adrenaline shot v14 and deleted some stock apps.but its still lagging

Can you guys explain to me why my phone is freaking fast while im just running GB 2.3.6 ALL STOCK (kernel, rom, no mods and no lag fix )
The things i just did is freeze all bloatwares using titanium backup
Is bad or good?

i heard a few comments early after 2.3.6 realeased that rfs was faster. i would like to see a benchmark using bonnie++ comparing rfs vs. ext4 on both kj1 and kj6.

My phones performance increased drastically when I removed all of the bloat off my phone (that I safely could). Ram being used went from 230-ish down to 160-ish.
Though that is still a high benchmark for no tweaks.
Finch what all did you remove ?

You will need to provide more information for people to be able to help you. Can you at least tell us what ROM & kernel you are using?
Rom stock 2.3.6
Kernel: bhudhven stock kernel with lagfix and cwm

We're pretty much running the same stuff. I'm on a stock ROM with bhundven's subtly modified kernel. I'm using version beta 2d, currently, but I've not experienced any lag - scrolling or otherwise - with any of the versions I've run.
Are you running anything that's possibly eating a lot of CPU and/or RAM?
Go to the home screen
Hold the "Home" button down until the "Recent" window pops up
Press the Task Manager button
Is there anything running?
My free ram is 152 average

Yeah, if you did a backup then maybe a restore, it's possible something restored that is causing the issue. If you start clean, make sure you do a factory data reset before the install, then wipe the cache partition and the Davlik cache after the install. Once you have the ROM on, flash the kernel, then debloat. Double-check after that to see if Voodoo lagfix is enabled. Once that is done, see how it's working.
Does The backup had save my settings right?

Good question. I know it saves user data and apps, I think, but I've never done a restore so I'm not 100% sure. I want to say yes, but I need someone with knowledge and experience with Nandroid restores to chime in here.
I'll try it when i get home ;-)

I tried restore in CWM,
after that,
it's still lagging :/
Can you please provide more information then, as best are you can?
Did you flash any tweaks, themes, anything else?
If the phone is lagging still, even after the restore, then you might as well load a new rom. Do it from a clean wipe.
nope,,

There's a performance option in your phone setting where you'll be able to overclock the processor if wanted. As for battery life you can turn off surface dithering and turn on 16 bit transparency, use wifi as much as available, use an app such as system tuner to underclock your processor(be careful to not uv too much and don't save profile until your sure it's stable), also search for battery tips using google or the above search bar as there are plenty of threads set up for such things
It depends on the kernel. If you *safely* overclock to, say, 1.78 and you're using the badass governor, you should also consider moderately undervolting if you are looking for improved battery life. Download System Tuner and lower the voltage by 50-75 mv for each frequency level. Depending on your ROM and kernel, you may have to do this each time your phone reboots (if you save your custom voltage, you can just re-load your voltage table if needed). But again, you can only do this on certain kernel's.
Also, a couple of things:
First, avoid using profiles with custom governors. Second, Rom Toolbox will only get you so far. It's a good tool to have, but System Tuner and SetCPU are your best bet for managing your oc/uv/governors/etc.
I'm on the instigatorx kernel would that make a difference?

Well, yes it does make a difference! That's a good kernel, but there are A LOT of versions of his kernel. If you're running a version later than v5.4.5 you should be good. Also, play around with the governors and see which one works best for you. SmartassV2, Wheatley, Conservative, badass, (sometimes) lulzactive, and some of the others can work better depending on how you use your device and your specific settings. It will vary from device to device, but I've had a lot of success with badass.
Badass and smartass aren't options why is that?

Another problem I'm having is using system tuner every time I try to change the CPU settings its says failed to change CPU settings

You may have a bad flash of the kernel, try to re flash.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
EDIT:
If you re-flash InstigatorX and it still doesn't give you governor options, here is the badass script.. Download here and flash.
The other governor scripts are available in the InstigatorX OP, and you can flash them individually.
But, you *shouldn't* need these if you're on v6.0.2 or later of the kernel.
Also, are you sure you're still rooted? I've seen several people that flash a custom ROM and kernels, and they still have CWM or TWRP recovery, but they lost root in the ROM. Some ROMs are pre-rooted, some aren't.. and you can probably just flash the SuperUser zip (or SuperSU zip) to correct this if you lost root.

Sorry if theres already a similar topic but i'm mad that we have 811mb of RAM but 710mb are almost always being used. Just after rebooting the device some 40-50 apps/processes are already running and they start back even after clicking to clean memory.. What to do about that?
