. So here we go on a topic from thz junior pico user, with he topic on how to increase ur RAM and battery life and also, auto_killin of applications themselves in CM 9/10
It's so simple and workin great..
Check the screenshots too...
1.Goto menu..
2.Settings...
3.Developer options...
4.scroll down to the bottom..
5.you'll find an option "Dont keep activities" (give a tick)
6.Then,right beneath to it, will be the option "set from standard limit to ATMOST 1 PROCESS"..
Thats it. U r done...
Now, ull surely hav a cent percent increase in ur RAM as well as battery life..
Hit" Thanx" if i hav helped u atleast for a 0.05 %
CHECK THE SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED TOO...
Screen shots...
Screen shot after makin setup as mentioned in post #1 of this thread...
Checked the status of RAM usage and available memory of RAM in task manager pro..

Probably won't do much good. Freeing up RAM isn't a worthy goal, as there is no harm in having stuff in RAM (code sitting in RAM isn't using any battery life, and just makes it faster when you go back to an app that is still in RAM from the last time being run). In fact, you may actually harm battery life, as this way it will mean that every time you switch apps, it'll be loading the app from the file system again, instead of from RAM, and that will require more CPU clock cycles (instead of just running code already in RAM, you load code into RAM and then run it). The more work the CPU does, the more power gets used.
This is only really beneficial if the background processes are using CPU cycles (which most shouldn't; they should be effectively "dormant" in RAM), in which case killing them will indeed reduce power use.
It's also worth noting that some apps will keep trying to run their background processes, so presumably this will kill them, but then they will restart, get killed again, etc, again wasting more CPU cycles than necessary.
On the other hand, there is an app on the Play Store called "Watchdog Task Manager" which will monitor background processes CPU usage, and kill apps when they're using more CPU than they should.
(Also, I should mention that I am assuming this feature you are describing is similar to the various "auto task killer" type apps; if it is in some way different to them, it may actually be of some use, and I apologize if that is the case - this post can be ignored if so)
Scripts are available to boost ram without harm........
So I think its if no use...

So i just rooted the phone and installed the virtuous unity rom. When i installed the rom i assumed it would take care of the ram and cpu problems which is why i didn't really care much. But since it didn't solve the problem, i'm starting to wonder where the hell all the cpu and ram power is going. On idle i only have about 150mb of ram available and my cpu is 50% in use. Is this normal? Can anything be done about it?
It's also very noticeable.
Strange.
Are you controlling the running services and application-tasks manually ?
I usually have around 400MB free ram and cpu usage is just on the normal range, and an ordinary task manager does the job.

is your phone running slowly? 150Mb is loads or RAM, have you ever run out?
custom roms tend to make more use of RAM for caches and to improve performance etc....especially if you try sense 3.0 based rom which by nature will be larger.
How did you manage to get 400mb!?!?!?!?! What rom are you running?
It does lag quite a bit at times which seems to go away after the use of a task killer but i don't use task killers anymore as i failed to see the point in them.
also why does the phone claim to have 768mb when i can only see about 611mb. Is there some memory reserved for the os or something?

You can't get 400Mb that must be a typo! unless you've created a Senseless ROM.
Even when I kill ever process that runs using the the fast reboot market app I still get less than 350Mb!
I have over 400MB free, stock ROM, Settings take nearly 18MB, so my guess is about 418MB free. Based on stock app manager. I have lots of apps, 3G Watchdog running and five full home screens. I had very same situation on previous DS. How much do you have?

Sure not! Tried both roms and they work really FAST!
so the ram available is okay, but the 50% CPU is a problem i guess(i dont have a program to check that)
If you fell that your phone is slow even after wipe and flashing a new rom it might be a hardware issue.

Got a question about RAM....
Why is it that on most sense roms the ram will never get bellow about 130mb? I've noticed that when you have the browser open, and open up a few more apps, most of the time the browser will close before you go back to it.
Why not put the apps you have just opened into the 130mb free ram, instead of the browser closing so that ram can be used?? It seems that the 130mb free is just being wasted, and never actually getting used.
There must be a reason for this... also is there a way to change this, so this free ram actually gets used?
Sense is using the RAM.

oh really, what roms that on?
still, surely it should be going all the way down to 0mb?
OOM values (Out Of Memory) which are set in services.jar file make sure that the free RAM count does not go below 130mb so that the kernel does not panic on an out of memory situation, so whenever RAM is getting low, it closes apps that require a large amount of memory
To be honest its not a very efficient setup, it would be better just to put the value in kernel panic on out of memory = 0 (false) therefore solving the problem

i choose 100 mb on my samsung galaxy gio, so what it does it when you have less than 100mb free memory left, it automatically kills unused background processes, but you need root

Why don't you just root it?
I rooted mine the first boot...
There is an app that resets the flash counter and you don't lose warranty!
After you root it search supercharger script and get it running mate...
Your S3 WILL fly after that!

Ever since I upgraded to ICS, RAM consumption is high in my atrix2. It used to have free RAM around 300 to 350 MB but now in ICS the fee RAM is always around 150 to 200 MB.
I am having same apps which I used to have on GB. Nothing changed on my phone. Can anybody advice me whats wrong with my phone?
Ex. Games like Temple Run are little bit sluggish in ICS whereas it was running smoothly in GB even though I had some apps in the background. Now in ICS it is sluggish even though there no other apps running in the background.

Android has its own task manager, which is quite sufficient. What people don't seem to understand about RAM, is that it is meant to be used, not the other way around. Android, like Mac OS and Ubuntu, wants to use all the RAM it can, because that's how it was designed to work. There are settings (in Android we call them "minfree" settings) to tell the system how much RAM to leave free and available, but the rest is designed to fill up as fast as possible and stay that way.
Android can manage memory rather well (and the settings are still there to tweak if you just have to touch stuff) and having up to 300 percent more RAM makes a huge difference. There will be a few times where killing off a handful of tasks will speed things up, but overall you'll get the best performance out of your phone or tablet if you stop worrying about it and let Android be Android. If you need to live on the edge (and I know a lot of you guys do) root and hack your phone with some amazing custom ROM that has everything tweaked and allows you to travel forward in time -- I'm right there with ya, 'cause it's fun as hell.
But don't worry about how many apps are running on your phone, or about using widgets that tell you these things, because it just doesn't matter anymore.

Long press home button, it will appear. Swipe to close apps.
Try with debugging mode enabled along with force GPU rendering from settings...
Task managers/killers are completely useless in android.The only use of task killers is when a rogue app keeps running in background consuming lots of CPU cycles.
After the ics update my phone too was a bit slow but then I factory reset it & then wiped the cache partition. I don't know what did the trick but it works great now.

This decreases the minfree settings, allowing you to have better multitasking, but system may be a little slower
