I have a problem.I use stock GB 2.3.6 by samsung,CF root,CWM.
I use lancher 7 and strangely even if i hit "CLEAR RAM" button my mem consumption will be 350 mb on an avg.
Some times if i run high mem consumption games the games just shutters and my phone will restart and Battery will go <20%.
PLZ tell me a solution for reducing mem usage
I if i go ADVANCED TASK MANAGER there will be long list apps opened.

first of all android's memory management is different. There are mainly 2 reasons when u observe that ur memory is heavily consumed.
1. You are doing heavy multitasking.
2. Android itself minimise apps when it feels that its un-necessarily using resources.
I will suggest u to use some light weight launchers like adw launcher. Also use tweaks, ram script, uc kernel. I hope it will help u.
plz

ya surely...!
You can also try Samsung Andreline Tweaks or Acid Tweaks!
They keep the RAM free. Or, Try a custom ROM with MANY in-built tweaks
or u can use OS MONITOR app to check for running applications n kill them manually

u can freeze them in titanium backup. then defrost(unfreeze) them whenever u want to use them.
Hello Guys,
I came with this because we have lot of custom ROMs and most of them lack of stability and with issues.
Thanks for the all developers to come up with new things in their ROMs. But for more sustainability we need the following.
I know this thread should be not in this section. But it should be here for better development and release of ROMs.
What is this all about?
This is a checklist of testing to be performed/identified to make a better and stable ROM releases.
CHECKLIST: Screenshots will be good
1. No WIFI issues
2. No force closes while opening apps.
3. Atleast minimum Gaming
4. Signal problems
5. SIM detection
6. OTG storage detection
7. No reboots during calls/playing games
8. Both the front/back camera should be working which gives some quality images.
9. Charging options even when phone is switched off like in stock ROM.
10. Indication LED lights should work.
11. USB OTG on the fly (without using apps)
12. USB detection.
13. Tethering and hotspot should work.
14. 720P Hd videos should be played with out hassle.
15. GPS test
16. FM
17. Headset (Play, pause and stop) should work for Music player and FM.
18. Bluetooth
Last but not least and most important is the Battery: If possible with screenies.
Suggest more guys, will be added to the list.
Reserved for future
OK, lets take the requirements as well. Will help the ROM devs
Requirements:
1) More user RAM availability.
2) Battery percentage on the battery.
3) build prop - Should support playing most games like gangster rio..like galaxy s2.
4) Should have good looks but doesn't compromises on performance.
5) Should have apps like 4.2: playstore (black),camera and gallery,samsung calculator(touchwiz mod from razer),black message etc
6) Increased flash brightness to max(MMX A110 led is very poor by default)
7) Notification bar with brightness slider and and is transparent like.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1890150)
8) A good lock screen with 4 options(unlock,camera,messages,call)
9) LOTS of tweaks for gaming....
More .... Will add it soon..
THESE ARE WHAT I WANT FROM A ROM DEVLOPER:
1)It takes less ram all unrequired apps removed which arent required.
2)show battery perc on the battery.
3)from build prop its any mobile which supports playing most games like gangster rio..like g)alaxy s2.
4)has good looks but doesnt compromises on performance.
5)HAS apps like 4.2: playstore (black),camera and gallery,samsung calculator(touchwiz mod from razer),black message etc
6)Increased flash brightness to max(MMX A110 led is very poor by default)
7)notification bar with brightness slider and and is transparent like.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890150)
8)A good lockscreen with 4 options(unlock,camera,messages,call)
9)LOTS of tweaks for gaming....
our forum is is full of useless rom.its not gud for new users.
Re: [IMP] Checlist to be performed before releasing a ROM
1) Ram Must 180+
2) Good Gaming Performance

Thanks for the list Gurpreet. But some of them looks like requirements.
The list should be like mandatory things for a ROM to be stable. Agree?
Many of People said to Dev that to do try that os can consume less RAM,
We understand you all But please understand We have only 512 RAM and ICS and JB , Which basically Consume more RAM and Second thing is that our Hardware is Dual core and its also take lil bit more RAM den single Core,
If we were have GB den i can sure it consume so less RAM den ICS and JB.
But we are trying our best but we can't stop system process to consume less RAM
But Yes Stability Is Most Imp. thing and am completely agree in that.
Thank you for your Support.

Why do we need more RAM?
To play High end games?? Ofcourse yes!! Anything else?
If for playing games, with 100MB of RAM or even less, I am playing all the games. Even I am not using any task killer, RAM optimizers, just the stock ROM.
As Jigar said, system process consumes RAM. Some apps like JB keyboard even taking 22 - 30MB. We can optimize in those areas.
And coming to the performance, every one is claiming their ROM is best at performance. It would be great if ROM devs can prove them by statistics or you can even describe how the ROM is made for performance with which tweaks and how they effect the performance considering the battery.

I agree with this point RAM space can be saved by removing unwanted system apps running in the background.
One more important requirement:
Charging options even when phone is switched off like in stock ROM. some roms do not charge when phone is switched off.
Indication LED lights working as in stock ROMs
USB OTG on the fly (without using apps)

oops..didnt notice...anyway i had seen that thread earlier.... the decompiling systemui.apk didnot work for me! ... the apk tool reported som error.!.
wonder if just opening the apk file via 7zip enough?..
..i hop our rom developers wud be able to do that and give us transparent status bar..
The only other way for us to expand our Ram is use the Custom Kernel and put s Swap Ram or Zram. I gained extra 40-60mb of ram.
If the users is not satisfied with the Rom, why don't they stick to Stock Rom?

When we search internet for how to make android or xperia devices more faster then we see the following tips mostly on every third site.
1) Reduce animation scale
2) Remove unused widgets on home screen.
3) Don't use live wallpapers, use static wallpapers.
4) Clean your cache by using clean master app or any other cache cleaner app.
5) Clean your ram by Ram cleaner app. eg. NQ Android booster or you can use other app according to your taste.
6) Restart your device once in a day to clear ram.
7) Use third party home launchers eg. Nova and Apex launchers.
8) Move apps to internal storage to clear phone memory.
9) Delete useless apps from your device.
10) Don't update stock apps which you are not using because it fulls your device memory.
If you have rooted phone, then delete all those useless stock apps which you are not using.
By following above tips we can observe some improvements in the performance of our device.
But some people also claim that by rooting/unlocking bootloader they observe more lags in their device performance and on the other hand, some people say that their device performance become better after rooting.
Now in this thread we can discuss some more tips and tweaks which are helpful in increasing our xperia devices performance.
If you know any trick and tweak that make our devices more faster then you can share that trick in this thread.
1. Change Your stock kernel to another, and change governor (Try and pick the best of You I recommend pegasusq or SmartassH3)
2. Install Pure Performance Golden Edition mod (way faster)
3. Use Seeder (reduce lag)
4. Uninstall unused apps like Timescape, Google maps etc. (More space in system = better)
5. Remove unnecessary language in the keyboard are not using (More space in system = better)
6. Change launcher witch is lighter
Optional
Odex Your rom
Install The New Pure Audio 2.0 (it don't speed up your phone but You here difference in sound)
Mine:
1. Delete some system app (Google+ .....)
2. Use Greenify to hibernate some apps if they are running in background
3. Use XBooster to free more RAM
4. Use another kernel, mine is Intuisy Kernel
Sent from my ST23i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
1.Greenify is your friend
2.Use slim rom and the slimmest gapps possible
3.Remove useless apps
4.Overclock it.
Overclock to 1.3 Ghz, Governor: OndemandX and I/O Scheduler: Sio
Remove all bloatware from system/app
Remove all useless and unnecessary apps and widgets
Supercharge, Crossbreeder
Odex

@DanielFlorin, Odexed is faster than Deodexed...it is not a theory but a fact ^-^, it's alot harder to theme tho compared to deodexed.
Also delete some bloat apps in System/App such as SocialEngineCore.apk and the like
Delete the Weather and Youtube app if theyre not going to be used

I was using this option long time ago and it doesn't boost anything. It's better to just remove rubbish.
Also it's good to avoid having total mess on the SD card and internal memory. I make total cleaning every few months.

Hi there,
I just bought a Sony Xperia E5 (F3311).
This device can't be rooted (yet) and there's no custom recovery available for it, so I can't just remove system apps.
I'd like to know if disabling system apps or pre-installed bloatware in settings will have any effects?
Will there be any difference in the performance of a device? If yes, will it get slower or faster?
Thanks in advance,
Marvin

Performance issue, NOPE
U can see a little performance improvement as some of these apps run in background and consume ram.
It can do allot, free up memory and space. My Xperia XA, became much more smoother after I disabled unneeded apps.
Upd 08-29:
Update LKT to v1.9.3 (section 1)
Upd 08-07:
Switch off bluetooth when not in use, bluetooth scanning sucks a lot of juice (section 6)
Upd 07-20:
Systemize Greenify and exclude it from doze mode (section 3)
This is a guide to improve the battery endurance of our rooted XZ2 serie devices. It will provide useful tweaks/tips to do so on Pie but it also works on Oreo. It seems that Oreo Sony stock rom was far better optimized than Sony stock Pie in term of battery, so this guide will be particularly useful on Pie. Futher suggestions are welcome, don't hesitate.
Note that just after Pie upgrade, the device eats a lot of juice (AI algorithms work a lot to calibrate various things) for several days. But then, it seems that Pie remains far less efficient than Oreo in term of battery endurance (but actually it can depend on your device usage).
1. Install the magisk module LKT (Legendary Kernel Tweaks)
- Install the magisk module Busybox for android NDK,
- follow the instructions in the LKT thread,
- set the module on performance,
- after reboot, you can check LKT logs (/data/LKT.prop) to be sure that LKT tweaks have been applied as they should,
- use your device and enjoy a SoT gain of about +1.5 hrs,
- regularly check the LKT thread because this module is regularly uptated.
2. Install Lspeed app
Some Lspeed tweaks are redundant with those of LKT module, so just enable these tweaks:
- Global optimization: disable debugging, disable kernel panic, set animation scales to your taste,
- Battery: enable doze optimization (do not enable agressive doze unless you know what it implies...),
- CPU, LNET: don't enable anything (redundant with LKT),
- IO optmizations: enable partitions remount, disable I/O stats
- RAM optimizations: disable multitasking limitations
- Fstrim sheduler: 24h.
3. Install Greenify
- Systemize it (privapp) with the magisk module App Systemizer or instead install the magisk module Green2Priv (Upd 07/20)
- Exclude Greenify from doze (in settings - battery optimizations) (Upd 07/20)
- Lauch the app and go to settings to set the app parameters,
- freeze the apps you want (use Gsam battery monitor to detect the apps that undesirably eat battery).
4. Disable apps autostart
- Install All-In-One Toolbox app,
- Swipe down, in startup section: disable some apps autostart,
- In menu parameters: disable notifications or actions that you don't need.
5. Debloat the rom
- Some system apps, that we don't need, eat ram and battery but always do a twrp backup before debloating...
- Use @serajr debloat script,
- Alternatively, use Root ToolCase to debloat, this is a great app.
6. Disable bluetooth
- Switch off bluetooth when not in use, bluetooth scanning sucks a lot of juice...
That's all. Enjoy a much better battery life !!

It seems that media apps need to be optimized for Pie to not drain battery (it is explained elsewhere...)
I was shocked by the strong battery drain by the Sony Music app on Pie, so I've tested the Google Music app: it does not drain strong!!
So, the conclusion is obvious: the Sony Music app is not yet optimized for Pie. Use Google media apps for the moment, not the Sony ones!
Upd 03-18
And finally... Sony has optimized its music app (v9.4.3.A.0.3) for Pie, it's no longer a battery drainer, no longer need to use an alternative player
Better late than never...

just go to settings batt. check the apps using the battery. if you see Android System tap it and restrict it under batt restriction. this helped me lower down its part on the graph. before doing this it usually takes 10% to 15% after restricting it only goes to 5% sometimes even lower.

You would need to unlock on newest PIE firmware and test it. (Camera still works).
Or after unlocking downgrade to Oreo and apply the xperifix.
Or switch to my custom ROMs next month.
We've got RAW. (I assume at the end of this we'll get our next camera update by the sony engineers to raise the quality again).
