I am not the developer of this app. I am not a developer either, I am just an experienced user and just found an application that maight be usefull for our X10's.
Sysctl Config, It can be downloaded from the market.
With the appropiate settings, this app can improve performance and battery life. What it does is that it modifies certain kernel parameters related to virtual memory management.
This appication is only intended for advanced users and there is very little documentation on which are the best settings. I personally noticed a performance boost and now the phone is a lot more responsive, the scrolling is smother and it boots up a lot faster.
You should also notice a boost in 3d performance, specially runing high end games, such as asphalt 5 and avatar.
Probably the settings I used improved performance at battery life cost, but I will need to wait until tomorrow to tell since my battery is almost drained right now anyway and I just plugged it in. I also noticed an increase of my quadrant benchmark from around 1300 to over 1500.
After testing for about 3 months, these are the settings I found work best for me:
min free kbytes: 32568
dirty ratio: 5
dirty background ratio: 3
vfs cache pressure: 0
Oom allocating task: Enabled
For some, setting vfs cache pressure to 0 is risky. I can confirm that this setting was causing ramdom reboots on heavy usage, however, I enabled compache using spare parts app posted in this link and the issue went away:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12310102
BTW I am using CM 6.1.1 ROM.
Well, I think such detailed settings is kind of overkill for devices like phones. I'm not sure you could gain much performance, but it worst a try
BTW http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_hierarchy.html here you could have more explained features that this app provides.

I saw the app in a forum about the G1. I havr no doubt that my phone is more responsive now, but im not sure how this is affectijg my battery.
What settings would you recommend?

Oh, thank you, i'm so stupid. Let's see what we have there...
This seems really promising. I used the settings posted by the OP and definitely noticed a performance improvement. I too have very little knowledge about the best settings to use for our X10s and would appreciate some insight by someone does I'm tentative to really modify any of the settings out of fear of doing irreversible damage...if that's even possible.
Hopefully as more of us become aware of this application we'll collectively be able to find the optimal settings! Btw, anyone know the default X10 settings for this app??
hm the settings from the op drops the linpack score from 34 to 30mflops.
maybe we should play with these settings.
A thread here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523707

The X10 probably has a BFS kernel which means *some* sysctl commands would NOT execute on our phones.

Try linpack twice in a row. Make sure it loaded the ads before trying. Also try quadrant, make sure u run twice when benchmarking since this will allow the OS to kill some background tasks so the second time should be a little higher.
Im getting linpak 34.96 and quadrant 1565.

I suspect the settings are applied since the values remain the same after rebooting. However i am not sure if this proves anything.

I was actually talking about a few settings I found in one of the pages I linked earlier.
I've used the sysctl app myself and using the exact same values as you are. I feel the phone's 3d performance has taken a hit - let me keep it ON for a couple days and see how it progresses.

I did see other configurations that could be changed (or not). You can find them in /proc/sys/vm, however I am not sure how to edit such files without a gui, I guess maybe a hex editir would open it, but I would need to try it first.

Assuming you're rooted, you can use Ghost Commander from the market and use it's inbuilt editor to edit files + save them from within the GUI. Personally, i'd refrain from dabbling with more critical values without full knowledge of what I'm doing.

Personally my battery life has decreased, by how much is hard to say exactly because I've been a little heavier on my phone today than usual. At this point in the day my battery life is expected to be about 10 more hours and right now it's only reading 4--using the juice plotter app.
The phone does seem to be more responsive though and if I can still get through a whole day of moderately heavy use I'm happy.
Again, hopefully other more knowledgeable people here can post optimal settings for our X10s
*UPDATE* Yeah the settings in the OP definitely kill my battery a lot faster. The phone is more responsive for sure, but at the expense of battery performance. I'm running 2.1 Eternity ROM, dual touch, etc etc if that concerns anybody. I think I'll switch back to the default settings and uninstall this app because my battery life is honestly close to half of what it normally would be, I'm surprised no one else has noticed an impact?? :S
She just doesn't know the real benefit of rooting & installing a custom ROM. my issue is trying to explain the gains.

To name a few:
- Better battery life
- Fewer glitches
- Ability to remove preinstalled apps that you don't want
- More features and options for customization
Yeah, she is a tough cookie. She is one of those that constantly kills app via app killer. I want to explain that is not a good thing to do, but i don't think she will understand. I almost think she isn't smart enough to know the difference.
She needs to see a video to see the difference.
I guess my phone isn't enough to see the difference.
App killers and task managers are also battery killers. You don't need them. She is more than likely coming from using Windows PCs all her life and used to having to kill programs running in the background to make her computer run more smoothly. This is not needed in Android, or Linux in general.
Yep, she had a windows before and it sucked. She think the same with android. I just need to convince her that android isn't the same.
After using your Android device for some time it may begin to slow down and lag, and this is quite frustrating for every user in such situation. The more apps you install on your Android device, the less memory you make available on your device. Then your device will become slower in processing your apps and this will definitely affect your battery life and device performance. Just like no one likes to use a slow computer, no one also loves using a slow Android device. So let’s look at how we can make our device faster again.
How to make your Android device faster again:
1. Reboot your Android device:
If your Android device suddenly becomes slow and takes unnecessary time to respond, reboot your device as this will kill all processes consuming your memory. Then you can launch your desired apps. If your Android is still slow after rebooting follow the steps below.
2. Uninstall unnecessary and unused apps:
It is a common practice for Android users to install a lot of apps, some of these apps are rarely used or unnecessary, uninstall such apps to make more memory available for other important apps to use in your device. Ensure to always keep minimum apps on your Android device and keep only the important ones. The less apps you run, the more responsive your Android device will be since there will now be free available memory to use.
3. Reduce the number of Widgets/Home screens you use in your device:
Reduce the number of widget your device and also reduce to its minimum the number of Home screens on your device. Widgets consume your memory as their services run on your device even when you are not using them. Reducing them will make more memory available.
4. Install a Custom ROM:
Since newer versions of Android OS performs better than their older counterparts, it will be wise to install custom ROMs to get a newer version of Android OS. This will make your device more responsive.
5. Transfer apps to Memory Card:
As much as this may involve rooting your Android device, moving apps to your memory card will make more memory space available in your internal memory which serves as RAM to your device. A2SD is an app that can allow you to install apps on your SD card rather than your internal memory and this will help you ensure more internal space on your device.
6. Turn of unnecessary services when not in use:
It is advisable to turn off services you are not using anytime you are not using it. Services like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc. Most times even when you are not using an app, its services may still be running on the background, so killing the services manually will make more space available to other apps.
Final Thoughts:
So much have been written about this topic in so many blogs, no matter what have been written one thing remains certain, when you install so many apps, your memory is used up and your Android device requires memory to process quickly, so when the memory have been used by other apps, it is always difficult for your device to perform as expected. So I will advise you to always ensure good memory management practices that will always free up internal memory for your Android device to perform optimally.

Don't worry. Android uses as much ram as it can. Unless you're seeing performance issues if just leave it alone.
Hi,
Nothing abnormal to have about 1Gb used (there was a thing about RAM usage in the last version if I remember right, but not with R32 so...).
Maybe not necessary to clear often the recent apps (nor useful).
Nothing to worry about your battery life.
You apps stays in memory for faster use, let Android manage its ram, with 2Gb (a bit less for user/app) it's enough...
Ram is supposed to be used. The old adage "free ram is useless ram" applies here.
The ram device itself will use power as all components will however, it is "always on" it doesn't matter if its 1MB or 1GB.... it's same power regardless.

Re,
No, what I mean is let your apps currently running like they are, in the recent apps. If a day you are really very low in memory for whatever reason (like 200-300Mb free for example) and you experience lags, reboot ant it's fine. But Android will do the necessary before (unless a "huge memory leak" like we have seen or some wrong memory management settings caused by a "RAM manager app" or some "magic RAM script").
My opinion was not about Greenify in particular, I have no opinion about it... If you need or want to hibernate them, do it, for the other apps, leave them running
Not sure if I explain myself well
If you want post some screenshots of your apps running and cache process to see, but with what you said it seems that there is nothing wrong...

Hello guys!
First of all, my english isn't that good, so I will try to do my best!
So, I have two questions (and sorry if this is the wrong place):
1-) About RAM management: Where can I check what's running in the background (and using my RAM)? And how can I "kill" all these applications rapidly?
2-) I noticed that my SD card can be used as an "extension" of my internal storage. So, im using a Sandisk Class 10 card, but, when I picked the option where it uses my SD card as "extension", it said that my card seems to be slow, and I may improve it. Then, I ask you:
2.1-) Why am I receiving this message?
2.2-) Using this option, may I suffer more "lags" and framerate slowdowns (while playing) than if I picked the another option?
That's it.
Thank you guys!
1) you don't, and can't in the stock ROM... You shouldn't ever manually kill tasks. This hasn't been an acceptable thing since Gingerbread or maybe early Jellybean. This will literally slow down your device, the Android (Linux) kernel handles this job, free RAM is wasted RAM, this isn't Windows. You can see average RAM usage in Settings, Memory, but you can't close anything here
2) to my knowledge everyone gets this message regardless of its speed, it's kind of a "bug" I guess. The second part of your question is tougher to answer because people's experience vary widely with no consist variable like card speed, RAM, or variant. Best I can say is try it and see.

Yes, but unless you have a very good reason to, don't.
I have one app I do this with, Pokémon Shuffle, because if I just home out instead of back out and close, it keeps my phone awake and it won't go into deep sleep.
Kernel RAM management since KitKat is very good most of the time, unless you have a very good reason just let the kernel do it's job.

Killing Chrome and Whatsapp will only slow down opening them later... There is no other gain, same with games unless leaving them in the background prevents the device from sleeping. The kernel will kill the tasks when needed.
This isn't opinion, it's verifiable fact. Killing tasks manually has a negative effect on performance and battery life 99% of the time in modern Android devices.

Killing Chrome and Whatsapp will only slow down opening them later... There is no other gain, same with games unless leaving them in the background prevents the device from sleeping. The kernel will kill the tasks when needed.
This isn't opinion, it's verifiable fact. Killing tasks manually has a negative effect on performance and battery life 99% of the time in modern Android devices.

So, these apps wont "consume" CPU & RAM while background? I will never fell any performance issue (gaming) due to background applications running?

Correct, you should not... RAM is treated differently in Android (Linux) than Windows.

Ok, brother!
Thank you for your help! I appreciate it!
Since my questions about RAM are gone, i will test the performance using the games stocked in the SD card.
EDIT: Definitively, no difference between stock the game in internal, or SD. At least talking about framerate.
