Hello everybody,please give me some use feeling that i can improve my software.

It is my understanding that this is not useful for Android 2.2 and above, since it includes its own memory management.
Android will usually keep its memory full on purpose so recently used apps are responsive.
When you load a new app, others get swapped out of memory if there is not enough room.
So is this app useful for 2.2 and above?

Useful to be able to help you more quickly free memory when you reset oom value ,the system will speed up Significantly

hi nice working so far! looking good and quick boost is really a nice touch!
my mob is running fine without any problems so far.
like whitelist, a blacklist would be helpful! and the memory is not going beyond 120! when using other memory tools such auto killer memory or minfreemanager I can tweak upto 250! I think you can give option like save as custom preset and then use it.

This isn't like a typical task killer. This looks the same as the very popular AutoKiller. It tweaks Android's built-in memory management. You can read technical details here http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller/details

If you can get root, and setting successfully, the system will help you free memory. the system will kill some empty applications when you run many applications.

auto launcher is working for me!
but everytime I open I have to click request root permission! is there a way to remember my selection! once I press request root permission it should remember.

I know,It is a bug,I will fix it next version

also I would like to know what is the difference between topspeed and quick free memory?

"topspeed" need root, "quick free memory" does not need root,topspeed can completely free the memory and kill some empty app. "quick free memory" only kill some empty app.

Ummm why does it need Internet access?

Applications autorun in the background after 2.3.5 upgrade.

Hi,
I followed adixtra's tutorial and upgraded my O3D to 2.3.5 Europe open, and i must admit that this was the best and the flawless tutorial that i had ever read.
But after installing the new firmware i have noticed that many applications start by themselves in the background, I have the app manager widget running and with 2.2 it never used to report any running applications other than the ones that i manually start, but of late i can see upto 7 and sometimes 15 applications which reduce the available ram to around 40 Mb and i need to stop all of them manually.
I just wanted to check if this has to do with me flashing a unbranded firmware on an optus unlocked phone?
BTW the network reception has increased manifold and the phone by itself has improved, just that the applications autorunning is not giving me an improved battery life as gingerbread was supposed to. I still only manage to get 1 day of juice on a 2G network with minimal surfing/games and music.
Can someone suggest what might be my problem here? Also another strange thing is that when i look at the battery status in the applications--> battery use, the summary on top is garbage... even if the phone runs for 12 hrs on battery the summary shows something like 4mxxsec. but on clicking it the graph has the actual battery run time listed.
is anyone else also facing this? or i am the owner of a Unique O3D , this is not impacting any functionality though.
Thanks
Kris.

Yes, it seems like my phone also autostarts apps but i didn't notced, and i have the same problem with the battery statistics. ****, we waited for 4 months for official update and I still feel like i have installed a custom rom...

Everyone have battery bug.. And bg apps also

I've got exact same problem! App manager widget and anywhere between 5-9apps running constantly and not got any increase in battery life.My O3D is a UK open one which I flashed with kdz with tutorial on here.Seriously thinking about rooting with custom Rom see if that helps with battery.

For those worried about ram. I would assume the ram is filling up because that's how ram works in linux/android. Empty ram is wasted ram, the phone is supposed to load your most used and recent apps. When you fresh install it loads what it thinks you will be using and adjusts over time, this makes your phone actually load programs faster. Free memory doesn't speed up anything, this isn't windows. In fact if you have to constantly load apps from phone memory you are draining your battery more than if your apps were loading from ram. You want your apps to be in ram. Just because an app is loaded in ram doesn't actually mean it is running. It is sitting there idle not using any cpu at all waiting for the user to call that app up. If you just leave task managers off your phone and let android do what it is supposed to you will see much better performance over time. At first you might not see much, that's because the system hasn't learned what apps you use the most yet. Soon it will load most used apps and everything you do will be much quicker and you battery will end up lasting longer because apps are loading from ram not storage. I NEVER use task killers and I have no problems with ram at all. You are all used to the crappy way windows handles ram, this is linux it uses ram COMPLETELY different. Trust me just forget about the task killers, use something like v6supercharger or a boot.img with tweaks built in and forget about it. You will notice over time your phone will be smooth.
It isn't a bug, it is better ram management. If it is a bug then that's a surprise because it is a bug that is doing what linux is supposed to which means the bug is actually helping you.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.

i'm using v6supercharged v8 with 7 option,but i can't see any different and free ram is still the same.
i saw there is a v9rc4 but i can't install it because i dont know if home il locked in or not.

Thanks For clarifying that Urabewe, was not aware of that, have removed the task manager widget, hopefully my O3D would have a good learning curve

[Q] Info about RAM

HI
Yesterday I bought my Asus TF300T ... awesome but there is one thing I do not understand.
The tablet have 1 GB of ram... but if I go in settings -> application -> Ram in use show 680m occupied, and only 290 free.... strange cause happens at every boot!
So I begin search in this forum for some help, but I was not able to find any specific info about ram consumption....
Now I tried to install a custom Rom based on 4.1.1 (Clean ROM 2.1 ), but nothing has change, the ram consumption is the same as the stock JB version.
Just now i've try to remove some bloatware with TitaniumBackup, reboot but... 650m in use is too hight.
Can I have some information on the consumption of ram? Can I do something to increase the free space? I ask because I saw that some users have more than 600 mb of free space at boot
Thanks for any replies

PS sorry for bad english! I hope you undestand :angel:

You can leave it alone for the most. You won't gain anything by having more ram that isn't being used.
This is how Android is meant to work. It caches process and stuff in the background so apps boot quicker. If an app needs more ram, the system will close processes to free some up for you.

Hi mozy!
Uhm ok but if I want to disable at startup one or more applications/services how can I do that? I undestand that android caches process but I wanna be able to know "what's inside" my ram and exactly how much it take. There's an app for this?

If you want to disable apps at startup you can download the app: "Autostarts"
from the Android market and for your second question check out the app "AutoKiller Memory Optimizer", also from the google play market

[Q] Moto G too aggressive about freeing memory - related to swappiness setting?

I have had my Moto G LTE xt1045 since they first came out and have been very happy with it except for this issue. It is very aggressive about suspending/killing apps. You notice this when you try to switch back and forth between two apps and find that it is restarting the other app instead of resuming it. It's especially noticeable when switching between a browser and another app. Another example is that I was using navigation and tried to use the NPR app to listen to some programs, but it would only do one or the other.
I realize that the phone only has 1 GB of memory, but it seems over-aggressive at freeing memory - doesn't it? I'd like to hear feedback from others about this.
In my searches for further information, it seems that one thing that can be tuned is swappiness. On my stock phone, the swappiness is set to 60. Have people experimented with different values?
My phone is not rooted yet as I've been reasonably happy with the stock experience. But I'm willing to root if it will allow a solution to this problem.
Thanks!

I was facing the same problem, I really hated that it closed the apps so aggressively. This was one of the main reasons I rooted. I don't know about swappiness, but there is a file: sys/module/lowmemorykiller/minfree which handles when the OS will kill different types of apps. If you root and download MinFreeManager you can easily edit this file. If you want more information on this topic, just search for "minfree" here on the forums. After using this app I've been happier with how memory is handled, but of course it is still only 1GB. Also it's worth mentioning that the values in the minfree file are reverted to default on boot. There are workarounds for that, event MinFreeManager has an "Apply on boot" setting, but it doesn't work for me. However it takes like 3 taps to set the values manually.
I hope I could help you.

This sounds like just what I need! What settings have you tried? Have you decided what works best on the moto G?
Thanks!

OK, I've been using MinFreeManager for a bit now and it has solved all my multitasking issues. I used this guide: Fine tuning the MinFree settings (improving on Android's multitasking) with the aggressive settings.

I confirm it works.

Just flashing the Franco kernel won't fix things?
Also the Android one phones with just 1gb memory performs a lot better at multitasking than G
Somebody with the skills should really look into how google is managing ram in that phone.
Seriously it multitasks like a dream.

No, the kernel is not the issue. It's a config file on the phone that tells android how much memory to keep free - if you follow the link in my previous post, you can read all about it and understand the issue.
It is a phone setting that Motorola changed in 4.4.4. With default settings, you will find that apps are killed by android when you switch to another app and the first app has to be restarted from scratch when you switch back to it. MinFreeManager fixes the issue - but you have to be rooted to use it. Your Android One just has less aggressive default minfree memory settings.

I see. Also one more thing I observed on Android One was that google play services was using 1/4th the ram it uses on my G . there was always 500 mb free ram

Something is killlling my ram. Rouge app? Hacker software?

I kinda frustrated and need some help. My ram is getting eaten by my phone I think it was hacked as my I know my gmail was hacked as some info was compromised. Not sure if linked to shellshock. But I know something is running on my phone as its using 70 to 80% ram I never use that!!. I terrified this is a hacker background app I have wiped to stock image twice but I'm still having issue. I even put in CyanogenMod and it's still happening. Have I been hacked? I ran all security cheetah mobile trend micro all but I can't solve this issue all says everything is ok and apps are ok.
I did use towelroot to originally route but I can't find what's eating the ram. Phone is htcone M8 unlocked with s off. Help please!!!!

yes, for android is open and many apps are using ram and space arbitrarily.
With a few simple adjustments to three settings, you can enjoy the same great speed improvements on your Android smartphone or tablet.

Setting Animations to x0.5 won't help him free up RAM, it's just an illusion that makes it LOOK like it's faster, it doesn't improve anything in real time. Also, apps like clean master etc. disrupt Androids built in task manager and can make even more problems, plus they sit in RAM as well, further taking up space. What I recommend is trying to boot into safe mode (you long press the "Power off" button on screen and then accept to boot to safe mode). The second thing you could do is trying to do a full data wipe and then flash the ROM. After that go to Settings and see how's the RAM doing. If it's full with 0 apps installed, then I'd recommend that you flash back to stock, unroot, and go to a service center.

I would look into seeing what processes are running in the background, what their CPU time and usage are, and what your RAM usage is at.
Here is a good article on the topic that might help you out.

Maybe so, but some info in it could be useful. Managing memory and tracking down rogue apps hasn't changed all that much.
