[Q] Heavy memory consumtion

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

By using UC kernel will there be improvement in performance

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

it uses the most CPU, not RAM.
go to options n sort by memory

ICS Ram Monitor

Is there a way to monitor ram on ICS? I know in GB, you can see ram in About phone.
For ICS, that option is gone, is there anyway to monitor ram? Or is there anyway to add it back?
I know there are widgets, but can anyone recommend me a good widget that uses very LITTLE ram.
On ICS I get aroudn 160MB/404.4MB Free
And with browser open and a few application there, I get around 60MB free.

I've been looking for a good system reading widget also. One thing I noticed is all the ram reading widgets I tried doesn't display ram values correctly.

add shortcut to desktop > settings > running services
shows you what services are running as well as current RAM usage on the bottom. i usually use 150-200MB. never run out of RAM like on the galaxy s 4g with touchwiz. touchwiz does horrible things to your RAM.

I use "Sense Analog Clock Dark" Widget. It fills the purpose of literally everything that I need on my main screen. It takes up about roughly 23-24 MB of my space. Some of the things that you can utilize with this widget are:
* Clock
* Weather
* System Info
* Next Alarm Info
* Date
* You can also configure the HOUR & MINUTE tab to launch 2 different apps.

[Q] Stock launcher frequently crashes

Hey guys,
I'm not exactly sure on how I should look this up, so I'm sorry if this isn't new.
It's been a while now, actually, nearly since I got the NS, or since I loaded it with apps. I'm running stock everything, 4.1.1.
My problem is: I get frequent crashes of my (stock) launcher, when using an app and tap on the home button. It's more noticeable on a screen that has widgets, because they take a while to appear and to load the content again. But no error windows, just like if the process shuts down when I'm using an app.
I'm almost sure it's a memory management problem, in fact, I don't even know how NS runs JB so well. In this case, I guess there isn't much to do.
Is this a frequent issue? Do you recommend anything? Any alternative launcher that performs as well as the stock and consumes less ram? Any settings that would improve the memory management?
Thanks in advance,

That's not a crash. It's commonly referred as launcher redraw, and it happens when the launcher is released from the RAM because the RAM is needed for something else. Happens somewhat often with Jellybean on the Nexus S because its meager 512MB of RAM has a hard time coping with user apps + system apps running in the background. Other than making sure as little apps as possible run in the background, there's not much to do.
Most alternative launchers will consume more RAM, so that's not really a solution in itself.

Better Battery Life for Core(Rooted)

Here are some tips to increase the battery life of our galaxy core
Requirements-
1.Rooted galaxy core
2.Link2SD(download from google play)
Steps-
1.I noticed that the display used the most % of battery. Then I found out it was because of Touchwiz launcher.
so first thing you should is use a different launcher, eg. HOLO, Nova, Apex
After installing the launcher open link2sd and freeze TouchWiz Home(optional)
2.there are some apps which we don't use and which consume a lot of juice, so use link2sd n freeze them
here's the list of apps-
1.Clock(digital)
2.Clock(funky)
3.Clock(modern)
4.Dual clock(analogue)
5.Dual clock(digital)
6.Favourite Apps
7.Game Hub
8.Music Player(optional)(the default music player uses a lot of battery, if you use other music players the freeze this, otherwise leave it)
9.PageBuddyNotiSvc
10.Samsung Apps
11.Simple Alarm Clock
12.Yahoo! Finance
13.Yahoo! News
Do all these n see if you notice the difference..

I had already applied nova launcer ... but didn't new how to remove touchwiz launcher .... anyways thanks a lot !!

Well It does... The apps I listed use 2-3mb ram each, so if you freeze them more ram will be available which will make your phone faster.
if you want performance over style then install SickSky launcher(free on play store).

yeah i used it and if i use super task killer it will give 400-450 instead of 300-340 ;o HUGE differents!
I now use apex launcher with a galaxy s4 theme looks almost 100% like Real touchwiz. but the one thing that bothers me is that is no labels under the dock icons can i add labels to dock icons on apex ?
GOOD GUIDE BTW!!!

To freeze system apps you neither need root nor any app like Link2sd.All non essential apps can be disabled from application manager itself.Just go to settings/application manager/all and click the app you want to disable and then simply click on disable.To enable just click on enable to enable it again.

wow it's really works, now i have 500mb ram free space . thanks a lot:laugh::good:

im get a better battery life more, thanks for this thread

or just uninstall those bloatwares if your phone's rooted.

Hey thanks, i want to reshare with all my friend

#just_a_note
please don't remove any system app .. this might cause system instability ..just greenify apps that are not in use .. use 2 background processes as maximum thanks

there are many sys apps which are BLOATWARES , you can safely remove them(only non important ones)

List of Apps:
14. ChatOn
15. Email
16. Gmail
17. Google Play Newsstand
18. Help
19. Google Play Music (I'm using Poweramp Pro)

I'm confused, do these for get more RAM or for better battery?

Android pie made multi tasking worse ?

After updated to pie, it seems if i try run 2 apps and switch between them it will quickly kill the other while i use the other? before i didnt have this problem it seems to be more agressive now kill apps in the background.. can i do anything about it or not ? I mean if i look how much ram is available its like 900mb, that should be plenty enough to run 2 apps in background no ?

I don't have this. Maybe some setting on your phone or battery saver?

I also have the feeling Pie keeps more reserved or free RAM than Oreo... I constantly have like 1Gb free or more...

Free RAM has no meaning. Multitasking is good and more fluid now on 9.
