Hello,
Can anybody suggest good apps for the following ?
System cleanup
Task manager(to kill applications and regain memory)
RAM Usage monitor(by default, Nexus 5 has 2GB RAM)
Disk space left on internal 32GB storage.

Not needed. Android does this itself. If you need to end an app that is misbehaving .... settings > apps > open the app > force close

1) Clean Master
2) Greenify would hibernate apps so that they are not running in the background
3) If you rooted I suggest gravity box. It has the RAM monitoring deal where you hit the "recents" key and depending on where you put it it will show used RAM vs unused. Since this device has 2GB of RAM it is not recommended to constantly be killing the apps in the background.
4) you could download minimalistic text there are all kinds of things that it could tell you and as the title says it's minimal. or just look in storage. Also look into zooper, it has a predefined layout for sys information.

In Advanced Task Killer or Task Manager the available memory is shown as only 90-100 mb, while when I check it in settings--> applications --> running services the RAM memory is shown about 250 mb.
So whats the main difference between these two memory, because I think both shows free available RAM.
I have T-mobile USA version, if that makes any difference.
I would imagine one is the memory left for the system to run (task manager ram) and the other is the room left for apps to be installed. Two different memories.
I think the room for the apps to be installed is the internal storage and it is showing me to be about 0.9 gb free in settings-->applications-->manage applications-->downloaded
My bad, your right. Mine shows 98mb free in task manager and 226mb free in applications/running services.

The Task Killer shows the amount memory that are not used by Android OS.
The Running Services show the total memory including those used to cache apps.
You can press option key while in Running Services, there should be an option called "show cached processes".
If you add the amount used as cache and the amount free in Task Killer, the total should be same as free memory in Running Services.
P.S. Sense is a total memory hug. I'm running without Sense and have 250mb free in task killer and 343Mb free in Running Services. When I 1st did a clean install without Sense, I had close to 300mb free in task killer.

Cached processes and running services shows the same amount of memory i.e., 241mb free
If you have 90 to 100MB free in task killer, and 250MB free in running services, go to cached processes and it should show about 150MB used.
So if you add the amount used in cache and amount free in task killer, the total should be the same as the amount free in running services.
Hope this answers your question.
I am running the latest insertcoin rom with launcherpro and the more apps I open, the more Memory I have free somehow, but I don't know why. If I use HTC Sense launcher that doesn't happen, Memory seems to get used more & more. I use the built in task manager app. I'm like at 200-230mb free almost always.

But as I said earlier, both Cached processes and the running services shows me the same amount of memory free.
Could you please check on your sensation to confirm what you said

where did you check your cached background services. Because in the settings cached background processes and running services, both are same for me.

My phone also shows the same amount of free memory in running services and cached processes.
This is because Android considers cached processes as free memory. They are background processes that are not visible or directly affect our use of the device and can be killed to free up memory to run service processes (i.e. user launched apps).
The cached processes basically are a list of recently used apps stores in reverse order, i.e. the least recently used app is at top of the list and most recently used app is at the bottom of the list. This way if the phone is running out of memory, it will start to kill off app at top of the list, so the app that was last used will be the last one to be killed.
The idea of cached processes is to improve the start-up time of an app the next time the user needs to run it.
P.S. I'm not an expert in Android operating system, this is just my general understanding of how Android managers processes.

You are misunderstanding. If you add the memory IN USE by cached services to the free memory in task manager it should equal the free memory in running services.

Alright I got you, but could you please tell me where can I find the memory in use by cached services
Just wanna share to you guys , for those who don't familiar or don't know about this.
1) Just go to Task Manager> RAM and check your used memory . e.g = 400MB / 486MB ( woooo! too many memory used)
2) Press Clear > see how many apps closed and wait another 1 minute ( nothing much changed i guess ??? =.= )
3) Now go to Settings > Application / Manage Applications > Running
4) Check any unused / unnecessary apps that used memory , e.g Scramble with Friend game = used up memory until 74MB
5) Now you just go to your apps by tapping Downloaded / All > find your problematic apps
6) Tap on the application and Force close and..............now you'll gain your free memory back.
Simple and easy and effective !
Once you rebooted your device , you had to check again.

Advanced Task killer or any sort of app would save the efforts you need to do on every reboot. Set it to auto kill every half an hour, the RAM usage will be in control.
for me normally when i randomly check my taskmanager, the used ram is always 270-300 mb....so just clearing ram is enough....its only when i want to play asphalt 7 or something that i take an effort to stop the running google,whatsapp,etc services
never felt the need for a task killer though....
Don't ever use a task killer, it just don't work properly. Android is not windows. Android manages his memory by his own. If you are not happy with it's management, use v6 supercharge script instead. Improve is really huge.

Android caches recent apps in memory so that they launch instantly next time you open them. So having most of the memory close to fully used is 'good'. Use task killers only to beat up unruly, buggy apps. Just saying.
But thanks for sharing.

Hi, just been having a read through the posts on this phone, My Mrs has this and there's a significant lack of memory available.
It apparently has 512RAM, however the user useable part of this seems more like 64. She's moved as many apps as possible to the SD card, but still keeps getting errors for lack of available memory.
Is there anyway around this? I've seen some threads about apps that will extend the ram to your SD card giving you more available.
Will a new ROM give any help on this? or is it a case of new phone
She's only using Facebook, Text, Phone, occasional internet on stock browser, and that's about it at the moment, but others would be nice for her. Not a good experience for her introduction to Android IMHO.
Is the phone already rooted?

Not yet, Its still stock as it's the Mrs phone and she doesn't tamper.
All that's been done is she's moved all the apps she could to run from SD card.
Well,, first of all.. try to differ between RAM and internal memory. They're two different things.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory for ur phone processing. It consist ur applications that currently working, i.e. when u open message, the RAM decreases since ur message app use some space of memory to work. when u open another app, the RAM will decrease again.
Internal Memory here is the space for ur apps storage. When u installed some app, it take space in order to succeeded when install. Each time u installed an app, the space will be decreased.
I guess that when u look into that phone, that 64 of memory there is an internal memory, not the RAM which u supposed to think. So, please notify it first. Is it really the RAM or just Internal Memory.
to know your RAM and Internal Memory space, u can access like this.
For Internal Memory : Setting > Applications > Manage Applications > All. then look into the bottom bar for the space of internal memory.
For RAM : Setting > Applications > Manage Applications > Running. then look into the bottom bar for ur RAM space.

I'll get all the info off the phone tonight - if I remember.... :silly:
However please bear with me, being new to technology, I've only worked with it since 1998, but RAM = Random Access Memory. I've never heard of Raw. same as ROM is Read Only Memory, and EPROM is Electronically Programmable ROM (IE you can flash it.)

I've flashed my HTC Pico with HTC SENSE 5 Build 6 and i am getting only 150 mb of ram . I have partitioned my SD Card with 1 GB and tried doing with S2E and multimount like apps but all in vain.. Please Help..
U can't increase physical ram. However u can increase free ram memory by using greenify and zd box. Greenify helps in force closing of the apps depending on how u have configured and zd box(enable root task killer) helps in closing most of the system apps. Usually task managers actually reduce performance. Since we have low memory and using sense 5 we are left with no options. Don't try any other bogus task killing apps.
Hit thanks if I helped u

Hello.
There were a lot of problems with the updates that came with Android 13 on the device. The first is that everything experiences lag while screen recording, and the second is that only 2GB is available out of 8GB of ram. What solutions do you guys suggest?
How many apps do you have running in the background? Go to Settings > Apps > Memory and see what's taking up so much RAM. You may need to get rid of some stuff.
