Something is killlling my ram. Rouge app? Hacker software? - Security Discussion

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.

[APP 2.1+] System Tuner

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!
We're working on System Tuner version 3.0. Beta testing should be available soon, stay tuned.
Please check this for a 3-in-1 integrated app: ANDROID TUNER.
ANDROID TUNER IS NOT A REPLACEMENT APP BUT AN INTEGRATION OF ALL 3C APPS AND MANY OTHER
There are 2 options for existing users wishing to use the integrated version:
1) you can use Android Tuner Free which unlocks all already paid features from Battery Monitor Widget Pro and System Tuner Pro (except widgets)
2) or you can use a discount on Android Tuner paid version with this migration offer, note however we can no longer refund old apps as before because refund policy on Play Store have changed since December 20th
We're currently using Android Tuner's existing source code to rebuild BMW and ST from scratch, this is a lot of work and requires a lot of manual handling to avoid these:
- A 10MB APK instead of today's 2MB APK.
- A near-bug-free experience, beta testing will run for a long time with selected users, depending on users' feedback and app usage.
- Accurate data migration for user switching from 2.x to 3.0 without data loss.
- Removing features from BMW without breaking the app (battery data)
- Keeping a low memory footprints splitting UI and services components
- Keeping app performance as high as possible (version checks at run time)
- Removing features using new permissions without breaking the app (sms, contacts, etc). More than 20 permission in AT!
Note that the above is very complex and represents a lot of work, so it will take time before 3.0 is actually published.
More coming soon, stay tuned.

Could be because of the customized rom, I'm a newbie with x10, just installed the blue spark rom on my 2nd day use, because of the flop score... I tried all day yesterday downloading the widget, search the web for fixes, but no, the download just won't start (or finish)! Really want to try this app to see cpu mhz & usage on "front panel"!
I even used the SDK and emulate avd to download the file...
May be u would consider posting it here? Oh, I even installed Slide 4.0, but they don't have your app, may be u can post there as an alternative? Can download there no problem, just tried aiSystem.

Hello totalz,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy lately.
I'd rather email it to you, so I don't have old versions to update here and there in the future. PM me for my email or directly from Google Market.
Great app.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and has alot of info in a tiny 1x1 space.
I put free memory on top, cpu speed at the bottom, cpu load and free internal memory on the sides.

Any thoughts about combining your battery monitor widget functions and tying the battery consumption to the process? Maybe I'm over(under)thinking it, but being able to see graphically process history vs battery consumption per process would be very helpful to narrowing down inefficient apps.

3) fix long-press settings bug
4) Changing some text caption
APK Download:http://code.google.com/p/andbox/downloads/detail?name=AndMemory_1.5_signed_beta.apk&can=2&q=#makechanges
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.

With 800 MB of RAM free, why do apps not stay in RAM when multitasking?

I presume that this has something to do with the min free values, but I'm not sure what to do about that or if I should modify it or what. What are your thoughts? I think apps shouldn't start being suspended until you're at least down to say 200 MB. it doesn't take long to suspend an app and push it to ram, android shouldn't be doing it so aggressively.
To test this yourself, open up a lot of apps, use the task switcher button and then scroll to the very top and select the least recently used app do this for about 10 apps, and you will see that every single one of them is pushed out of RAM and has to be reloaded, every time you get back around to it again.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that kitkat is supposed to run on devices with as little as 512mb of ram.
iive ound coming from jb that KitKat agressivly kills task or dose a better job of it jb stuff was always running in the background.

interesting. thanks. Does the other RAM go unused? Maybe it's just suspending the app not flushing to disk.
on my phone ive got a woping 1.1gb free wen all my apps are closed this is just crazy like the guy above said I think kitkat is quick to suspend apps making it easyer on devices with less ram all found that when I clear a app from recent menu that it kills it off were on jb it would still hold it in ram tell another app pushed it out.
I read somewhere that kitkat can only have 10 apps open at once. Anymore and apps are kicked out of ram. Idk if this is what is going on or what

Nah some of us read before replying. Basically until somebody makes a way to stop KitKat from killing apps when it doesn't need to us users with 2gb of ram have a lot of wasted memory. There must be a hardcoded maximum running app count in KitKat otherwise why would it be killing apps when we have so much memory left. Supercharger has a way of removing or changing that maximum so that whatever minfrees you set will let Android manage memory properly without preemptively killing apps.
Unless you have a poorly coded app that is just eating up battery when it's not a foreground application, on Android it's better to have it running in the background so it can be loaded up faster when you switch to it. Unused memory is just wasted memory.
That's the jist of Greeenify except it take sit a step further and stops that app from relaunching itself so it stays killed until you use it. Most of the time it works but some apps can be stubborn buggers.
Ram not used, but many app stay on cache, thats why new ART need more space than dalvik.

CPU Health: Warning

Hi, I have been using the CPU Monitor app to track my phone's health. Lately, I have been getting Good status. But recently, I get the Warning status.
According to the CPU Monitor, it is due to the CPU Usage and the space left on the SD card. My questions are is it possible to turn off background apps permantally? I have been using Greenify from Exposed, but every time I reboot. The apps I have hibernated.. Are no longer hibernated.
Also regarding the Clean Master app, when I free RAM. The apps I have selected not to free, must be reselected after reboot.
I just want to have certain apps to not run in the background. Also, is there a way to have CPU Monitor delete the history of my previous scans? Thank you in advance!

Don't use ram free.
use xposed framework and the boot manager to stop apps at from starting at boot.
To turn off apps permanently to have to freeze them or uninstall

My response had a bit of a know-it-all tone over it, sorry . But yeah, task managers aren't a very good thing to use.
Battery saving apps don't do any harm and if they have special power saving profiles(screen brightness low, signals off, GPS etc.), sure, use them if you want!
Hope that helps

Since I am running franco.kernel with VomerTweaks now. The battery life is pretty good so far. I am running tasker with VomerTweaks.
Tasker is a bit complex because I get confused and overwhelmed easy. I am still learning and have a positive outlook on this Android device. However, lately it has been running slow. (when I run a game in landscape mode, it shifts the home screen to landscape then launches the game. Before, it would just launch. Also, some apps are glitchy now, and it wasn't like that before. (When I open an app, it shows a transparency of the app with the home screen as the background) and would have to re-launch to fix.
This all happened when I applied the VomerTweaks. I haven't done too much research on the VomerTweaks, but I hear everyone is saying it works great. I am having a different experience.
Also, the camera has been hot due to movie watching... but hasn't been doing this when I had battery doctor installed. I will install CPU monitor when I get back home to see what's up. I apologize if what I type is very choppy and unorganized.
My question is if I install VomerTweaks and Battery Doctor, will it conflict and change the system settings and confuse the Android device?
Thank you again.
Install the FKU app from Franco or per app settings then you can change the frequencies for individual apps. All my games I've put at stock settings with Vomer some games experience lag due to the low frequency of CPU and GPU with per app I've got them all on stock and they run just fine. I've even lowered the CPU on non CPU taxing apps like tapatalk for example.

My recommendation to you is to keep things simple. I have many apps, but I still always have around 1.7GBs of free RAM on average. I have my OPO overclocked to 2.880GHz and the battery still lasts me the entire day with a lot to spare. With time you'll learn to tweak the kernel and weed out and replace inefficient apps to keep the OPO at an optimal state. I now longer use memory or battery "management" apps, they just do more harm, and I find it absurd that a device such as this should get bogged down to such degree.
I just came from reading the "[Q] Wrong kernel : black screen, no fastboot, no adb, no factory reset" thread.
It was heart wrenching to read but as I got closer the page 14, there was light at the tunnel. This community is too awesome.
Anyways, I do not want to ever experience a hard bricked device, that would just destroy me. However, I do love tweaking my phone so that it runs with the least hiccups as possible.
So seeing the lags after installing the VomerTweak bothers me a little. I will keep an open mind and when the develop updates it, I will definately try it again. My question is there a way to uninstall VomerTweaks after flashing the zip file. Or is there a way to make it better with franco.kernel? If so, how? Thank you again.
P.S: I don't know why, but my gut tells me I should not uninstall the VomerTweak, I do not know why... Just a FYI. lol

How do you overclock your OPO to 2.880GHz? I watch 720p / 1080p Youtube videos for 3 hours using MX Player app and I play 20 minutes of Anomaly my battery life is 15% from a full charge. Also, OPO gets really hot after I play 20 minutes of Anomaly. I'm not sure if this is normal. Also, whenever I set my MX player app to play the Youtube videos in the background, I always have to wait 20~30 secs before it skips the next video. This would happen even before I flashed the VomerTweaks.
Thank you I am aware that the memory and battery apps do more harm. I uninstalled it too. Instead I use Greenify, CM Security, SD Maid, Boot Manager, BusyBox Free, Tasker with VomerTweaks, and Xposed Installer using Nova Launcher. I will post pictures on what's on my home screen.
This is a widget called Animated Photo Frame Widget+, also I blocked out the contacts I have.
The widget is called PowerAmp
This widget is called Weather & Clock Widget
This widget is called DigiCal.
This widget is Animated Photo Frame Widget+ again, but this one changes pictures every 20 secs. Again, I blacked out the contacts I have.
The background I am using is called Wave. I use Bluelight Filter so I don't get blind during the night.
Just a FYI, I bought and supported all the developers who created these apps and widgets. Also, there were no lags before I removed the Clean Master and Battery Doctor, it was only after I installed VomerTweaks.

We'll I'm just running a fully updated rooted stock ROM. I'm using AK kernel which is my favorite one for this device, and I use the Synapse kernel app that the dev tells you to use, I think that your will be impressed with allnthe things that app can do, thought I'm not sure it works with other kernels besides AK. You can't overclock on Franco's kernel but you can with AK. 2.880GHz is as high as it goes, and its safe and stable in my opinion. I've bought four OPO's already and its worked without issue on all of them.

I'm using AK kernel which is my favorite one for this device, and I use the Synapse kernel app that the dev tells you to use, I think that your will be impressed with allnthe things that app can do, thought I'm not sure it works with other kernels besides AK. You can't overclock on Franco's kernel but you can with AK. 2.880GHz is as high as it goes, and its safe and stable in my opinion. I've bought four OPO's already and its worked without issue on all of them.

Is this the AK Kernel?

Also, should I remove franco.kernel first? Will I need VomerTweaks too?
I will wait before I do anything.

Here's the link bro, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/kernel-ak-t2832168 not sure what the one you gave me was for. Anyway, I recommend you start fresh by doing a wipe and flashing the stock rom. After that, you just flash the AK kernel zip, make sure it's the one for CM11S, flash the UKM zip, your super su zip, and reboot and install the Synapse app from the play store app. I'm glad to help.

I have questions before I wipe and flash the rom.
Whenever OnePlus releases an update will the AK kernel still be compatible?

The Best Root Applications for YOUR Rooted Android

JULY 3, 2017 (Updated)
Best Root Applications for YOUR Rooted Android
This is going to be a LIST soon. So you can browse to a ton of root applications and find what you really need.
Please help me with this by commenting an unmentioned root application.
Please note that the following applications are NOT IN ORDER​
1. Greenify - Sometimes your android battery really drains without knowing the reason. If you have experienced leaving your android on a 77% battery in the evening and in the next morning you'll find it on 42% or something like that. Well say no more, because this app can save your battery life by hibernating those battery draining applications with one simple click, or you can just put the app into Auto-Hibernation mode. All you have to do is to register the application that is draining your battery life and you'll see Greenify do its magic.
2. Titanium Backup - The free version has all of your basic needs when it comes to backing up, with the PRO version of this you can unlock a lot of extra feature. Other than that this application really does the trick when you want to back up your applications, might be the best backup app in the Play Store.
3. Xposed - Hate flashing ROMs? Want extra features on your android? Got KitKat only but want to have Android M and N features? Then this is for you mate! I mean you don't want to feel outdated right? You can browse inside it and find modules the suites your wants, from customizing your androids looks, getting extra tweaks and more. Has tons of them and i ain't joking.
4. Flashify - FLASH EM ALL! If you always tend to flash zip files, boot images or if you even want to flash TWRP or CWM recovery then look no further The FLASHify is here. uhh.. get it? no? k then
5. Boot Animations - Gotten tired of the boot animation of yours? Yes i know that you have been seeing that for years, if you want to make that animation of yours cool then download this app, it has tons of animations inside, feel free to browse em, although you ought to be careful when your about to change your animation as you might get stuck in a bootloop.
6. GL Tools - Anyone have a low end device? Need to play a High Spec Game? Then try this app. The magic it does is to simply render the game as low as possible in order to make it run faster. You can also fake your device into Tegra or something like those in order to play the games smoothly. Some people saw the changes on their game that it became faster, while some did not experienced any changes. I myself am using this and i can really tell that it does have difference than running the game without GL Tools.
7. Roehsoft RAM Expander - Gonna ask again anyone still have a low end device? Fret not my friend, this app is for you. If you happen to have a Class 4 SD Card or above then try this app. It creates a Virtual Memory that will run when the internal RAM needs to "take the load off". You'll see the difference i tell you than without this app but only if that SD card of yours is Class 4 or above or otherwise, no effect at all.
8. Busy Box - EVERY ROOTED APPLICATION NEEDS THIS AND THATS THAT.
9. Root Browser - It ain't the browser you think. Its a File browser. This app can go deep into the system whether your a developer yourself and you want to get some extra tweaks or that root of yours got into some problem. You can use this app to also edit them or put something new into the android system however you also need to have an experience at this or simply that you must know what you're doing.
10. Set CPU - Its back! Yes the developer came back (Same goes for me. Sorry for the hiatus of the thread ) Anyways SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU frequency to the way you like. It can improve your performance, battery or you can improve both of them. I personally used this app way back and yes it really does save battery and it increases the android performance by using some set profiles.
11. Kernel Adiutor - Has some features like Set CPU but this app is packed with more. Most of the feature has of course, have something to do with the android kernel. It also has some extra features like the init. d editor (good for tweaking )
12. Amplify - MORE BATTERY LIFE! Yes you heard that right, this app blocks unnecessary wakelocks which is the culprit in draining that battery of yours. Well worry no more, just install the app and it will do the rest. Buying the other version has some extra features in which you can edit certain numbers.
13. Viper4Android - What this app does is to basically improve the sound output of the android device to make it more seemingly pleasant to your liking. Has tons of options. Check it out
14. System App Remover - App name says it all
15. Super SU - Do i really have to put the description?
Smashing that "Thanks" Button is fine ​
Some additional hints:
dev.wes07 said:
Rom manager --> Try Flashify instead as is provides more usefull recovery features
ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER (SWAP) - really?! Costs much, may boost performance slightly. Every custom kernel will do better for free.
Root Browser (File Manager) - Use Total Commander instead
GLTools [root] (gfx optimizer) - Does not support most of the android devices
System App Remover - Titanium Backup has this feature already included
P.S. Post other rooted apps if I missed an important one.

3C Toolbox. Many many apps rolled into 1, including most of the apps mentioned already. Pro version well worth it. Also App Settings (xposed)
I'm new to XDA so I can't post links yet. Sorry.

While playing music I remembered this must have app:
