Increasing battery life
These things can really increase battery life
1)Use original charger provided with the device.
2)Use optimization apps(Du battery,worked well for me)
3)Set screen timeout to lowest possible value that you can take.
4)Always charge when your battery is less than 20%,it provides healthy charging

Disable logging saves a bit of battery

Memory Optimizers?!?

are those memory optimizers taskmanagers booster and apps like this recommended for my SGS3? do they really work better than the clean memory button on androids task manager?
is it worth it to install apps like this? I noticed that since using the gotaskmanager Ex when running many apps it crashes and does like fast restart or something like that.
opinion and suggestions pls
thanks

use lmk along with the thunderbolt script by pikachu001
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!
ROOT that sucker!!!

For this of tasks root is a must.
Another interesting app (need root too) it's autokiller memory optimizer.

hmm those battery life fixers working when phone is rooted? I think I will rooot my phone

Thats right bro' if you use Zeppelinrox v6 supercharger you will amaze on how fast will become your phone. For instance, you can set wich apps will stay open (like phone, sms, media and so on) so when want to use it it will open always fast, instantly! And that apply to your homescreen launcher too!

Increase ur RAM and battery power to last long cm9/10

. 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...

[Q] Lola's best rom

Im on carbon rom and im thinking to change to another rom. Can someone suggest me what rom from this list has the smoothest ui and gaming perfomance. My priority is gaming.
1.Pacman sabermod
2.like s4
3.probam
I appreciate for those who can tell me the best rom with the review. THX.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
i'd tested all roms mentioned above and came to the conclusion that probam is the "best" , but for gaming you'll need to do swapsd with it.
Lola's best rom
@joe21o
I was on carbon rom. I loved that. I am currently on Like S4. (Anyway I dislike multiple dpi and dual panel features.)
Dirty flash was giving some hotboots and black screen but after a clean flash everything is fine and butter smooth with the built-in kernel. I think odex version is showing more responsive. Performance wise all three roms are same in my opinion. If I have to put the roms in a preference order it will be
1. Like s4 (odex)
2. Pacman sabermod
3. Probam
Much much thanks to Dhiru & Lola for their hard works for our device.
i guess proBAM, because they just gave lola an official badge, meaning a fast/quicker support, and also with a smallgapps, ROM usage is low here,

i always force close this:

"I always get a decent 80+MB of RAM"
by just monitoring every app that is running,
I'm on a Xperia Launcher with Weather widgets and Walkman widget from the pro-BAM adds-on and some UCCW
use greenify app to put unnecessarily running background applications in hibernation which will free up some more ram and will also increase your battery life. hope this helps you..
Like S4.

[Q] RAM Usage - SII Plus GT-I9105P

I don't know if it's just me but my phone is using alot of ram (no?). It's like 550-560 while all apps are closed. When I open any app it gets up to 650-700 and the phone goes really slow. Im using stock bulgarian 4.2.2, non-rooted. Apps installed: Viber,WhatsApp,Zedge,Subway Surfers,Candy Crush Saga,Badoo,Clean Master.
Thanks in advance.

I use custom rom and its always like less than 500mb. Is ur rom offical(not flashed, rooted etc)?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
you can check which app uses what amount of RAM in settings > more > application manager > running
just remove Clean Master and don't worry about RAM. android pretty much takes care about that automatically.
Well, mine, running the latest, rooted stock 4.2.2 (I9105PXXUBNE1) also drives me nuts with its crazy RAM usage. Idling, it offers me puny 200 MB free memory at best, 300, if it doesn't hate me at the moment. I admit, I have lots of apps, but all of them are greenified.
I also use Seeder and SD-Booster to hopefully, squeeze some power out.
How could I possibly enhance its performance? And no, I'm not going to flash any custom ROMs, I like the stock FW.
I'm not using any hard mods besides apps and Xposed with Wanam, so besides these my phone is vanilla. And I factory reset my phone a couple days ago.
you could change the CPU governor. interactive governor gives a noticeable performance boost but it also slightly increases the battery usage. or you could flash a custom kernel (mosh kernel for stock) and tweak it even further with the 'performance control' app.
Mine hovers between 470-370mb free depending on how heavily I've used it since the last reboot (Using LiquidSmooth 3.1 ROM the 13.06.2014 build). The free memory numbers aren't that relevant - you shouldn't obsess over them. Besides your apps and ROM, performance depends on your kernel, governor, scheduler and the way your low memory killer, dalvik vm and cache are configured.

care to explain this bit?
Ram usage!
I think its normal for samsung roms because they have a lot of services and a lot of samsung apps like s suggest, chat on, samsung apps, samsung hub, s voice... so it mighty can use more ram than its supposed to use!

For example, using an app such as Kernel Tweaker, you can customize your Low Memory Killer (LMK) to be very agressive - meaning it "kills" apps very quickly, even when you have high amounts of free ram - meaning you'll always have plenty of free RAM; or you can configure it to be very light, meaning it will only kill background apps and services when it is very necessary (e.g. when you only have 12mb of free RAM left.).
Other Dalvik tweaks are a question of finesse but they still affect performance in a subtle way.
I found it were the AVG (AntiVirus, PrivacyFix, Uninstaller, Cleaner, Zen) apps that made my phone so sluggish. I uninstalled them and now my phone flies!

oh no:fingers-crossed:
greenify just pushes apps which is standing-by to sleep. if u want to really save energy, try setCpu (requires root)
if u use greenify, the energy saved is not so significant;
but if setCpu, u will see the difference!!
energy saving is quite important because it can extend your battery's life!
hope i can help you!

In fact it generally don't hurt your phone... it requires root and will just set the frequency of the cpu.
You can choose the frequency for your phone for different situations, like:
performance - when using apps that consumes many ram
ondemand - auto change the frequency, it will decide which governor is best for the time
powersave - save energy.
You can find the descriptions in the setCpu app, which is very informative and descriptive! ^^
Hope this helps!!
