Hi, I'm looking for some help to solve this problem: I'm on Euphoria OS ritgh now (a perfect ROM without bugs, if you ask me), but after three days the low memory warning started to pop up. I've always had this problem on stock but no this serious, I've moved every app I could with link2SD, I even uninstalled Chrome, but the problem continues and right now there are no apps left to move/uninstall. What could I do? I don't wanna return to stock, this ROM is way faster and Lollipop is simply perfect, any idea?

Hey guys,
I have my Nexus S (9023 variant) for some good 4 months now and I'm still quite happy with it!
Running unrooted stock 2.3.4 version.
However, I seem to feel like the phone is getting a bit jerkier / sluggish than it used to be before. I've noticed an increase in battery consumption of the Android OS process (not the system one) as opposed to before (like in a 100%-0% charge, it used to be 1-2 minutes, now it can go up to 10 mins time usage).. Sometimes going from one app to the other seems to have a noticeable lag. Sometimes the Google Music player is just slow to start playing... sometimes even the swiping of the home screens dies.
Also I used to have 2 days battery life and now some 1.5 days (which forces me to charge every night).
I would suspect than an increase on the Androis OS process would mean an increase in internal task switching.
How can one alleviate the problem ? Is there a way to sort of "cleanup" the system ? Does it degrade over time needing a factory reset or something ? I have some applications installed (some of them I hardly use though) but I suspect that even though those optimizations have their notifications disabled, they can be reacting to some kind of low-level OS events..
Anyway thanks for any thoughts guys!
What ROM are you running? And I would suspect that apps are the main problem if it persists after a reboot.
Stock 2.3.4, unrooted
Guess it's on to uninstall some apps then
Factory reset would solve all your problems I assume. Pity you are not rooted so you can back up your ROM.
I'm actually thinking of rooting soon, because I made some video recordings in a concert and they were plain horrible (distorted). So I might try to install a kernel with voodoo.
I guess I can always manually backup for once...
I have the google services backup activated... doesn't it mean that I can restore all my apps after a factory reset ?

You can use that to clean up your caches. I suspect a lot of programs installed or one or a few that are pulling your performance down. You could go about this in a few different ways. One is to uninstall everything you've downloaded from the market. That should give you a boost. Or you can start uninstalling programs one at a time until you see your performance increase then that's your culprit. Another idea is to delete all your SMS, MMS, and voicemail. I've seen people with hundreds of texts that after deleting them, notice an improvement.
A cache and dalvic cache wipe would help speed things up. Hopefully that market app above can do both. Normally done through a custom recovery.

Nice ideas guys!!
Think I will try to install titanium backup and backup my apps. And since I'm on it, I will also root my phone and install the net archy kernel cause the last time I took my phone to a concert I ended up with 1 hour of unusable footage due to sound issues.
Hello!
After updating from ICS to JB 2 months ago I constantly facing with different problems with. I was enjoying ICS and expected best experience from JB.
First of all I missed all of my media files from SD. I searched xda for answer and discovered same issues. All answers was, like, "delete .nomedia and/or wipe your device". I didn't have ANY .nomedia file on my SD. So, I forced to wipe all of my data, app settings, etc. and recover it again. F*ck, why I must format my phone to make it work properly? Sometimes I have known bug with stock launcher when it doesn't show any icons or render one icon to whole screen. Sometimes my device freezes and I only can reset it by ejecting battery. Very poor battery life. Several days ago my battery suddenly dropped to 0% from 60%! Look at pic in attachment.
But main problem with JB is performance. With ICS I hadn't any lags in simple games such as Cut the Rope, but in JB I often facing small freezes and lags that highly annoying. Sometimes one game running OK, but next time it very sluggish. I can't understand why. I constantly have ram issues. In ICS I saw stock launcher crash very rarely. But in JB after every Internet surfing or gaming I must wait to stock launcher load. More frequent is widget issues. When I press Home button I see that stock calendar widget blinking. That seems like it loading or reloading.
So, the main question is: what can I do with this? Is there any custom rom that hasn't this issues? Can I cut some JB features to increase it performance? Is there anyone that have same problems?

I'd already solve this problem with wiping, but I didn't touch any of my media files. I don't think this was caused by corrupted file.
Wipe is necessary when you flash a brand new rom. I've experienced the same issue upgrading to jb from ics, solved by doing a full wipe!

Of course I did this.
Also, sometimes I stuck with (bug?) android.server process consuming all CPU. Only phone restart helps.
I don't have a lot of complaints, and haven't had the same performance issues, though I don't do a lot of gaming. That's what the Nexus 7 is for.
The media scanner in Android sucks in my opinion, so if your files aren't showing up you may want to try running something like SDRescan. My music files (in Music directory on SD card) will show up as soon as I re-open Play Music.
You could try turning off Google Now if you haven't already. I did that and the battery seems to be a little better.
OP, I used to have the same problem and I could never find the .nomedia file. I had to delete ROM manager and its folder. After a full wipe and many tries, I got it to work. As for the launcher crashes, you might want to download an alternative from the play store. One that keeps it "in memory", that way it hardly crashes. I have Nova launcher and it happens frequently to where I switched to Apex haha.
This helped me and hoping it helps you. Good luck!

Hi there,
I'm new here and recently flashed CM 10.1 on my Xperia U. I have a peculiar issue. Usually people complain about not having enough RAM, but my problem is the opposite. I installed the Memory Status app and it shows RAM always being at least 100MB. Whenever it drops close to 100MB, the system stutters a bit and RAM jumps UP, usually up to ~140MB. It seems like the system automatically clears some RAM when it reaches around that point. I feel like this is the cause of some of the problems people have experienced with the U running CM: music player, keyboard, and live wallpaper suddenly stops working, as it seems like those processes are automatically killed. How do I enable the system to be able to address the rest of the RAM?
Note: at first I thought those problems were due to lack of ram so i installed some ram management app. After figuring all this out, I uninstalled them to see if the system could use the rest of the ram but no luck. I'm assuming this has something to do with CM itself.

its normal as it is custom rom not a stock rom.
custom roms are highly developed by developers to give the best experience and performance rather than stock roms..
its normal bro.
no worry
:good:
please hit thanks if i helped you anyway.
Hello,
When Lollipop was announced, they said that it should run smoothly even on lower-end phones (lower than the Moto G, which is what I own). I have tried numerous official releases of 5.x ROMs, but they all seem to have the same problem:
They don't work.
Well, they do work.. kind of. I mean, it boots up, works for about one hour, and then this starts happening:
Apps in the background crash one after another, until they are all displayed as Restarting
Apps with background upload processes such as Pushbullet do NOT work anymore (For example, Pushbullet shows the uploading file notification when I send something, but the process is immediately killed, and the upload never happens. Apps like WhatsApp do not display any more notifications either, since all the services are displayed as Restarting)
The Music app is killed randomly, just because
Apps in the foreground close randomly
Home screen almost always gets killed upon entering ANY application
After one day of usage without a reboot, multitasking completely disappears (i.e. you switch to an app and the previous one just gets killed instantly)
Since almost every non-system critical process gets killed, apps take forever to load
..but it has a new and smooth UI, horray.
Now, I know that this is caused by some memory leak, but I've seen Lollipop on other phones (even the Moto G 2nd generation), and it runs perfectly.
I've gotten tired of having to cope with my phone performing like a Symbian phone from 2008, is there ANY Lollipop ROM for this phone that works?.
Thanks in advance for any tips
Oh and, here's the video that shows how each and every application looks like in the first 10-30 seconds after I open / switch to it:
Looks like I am not yet allowed to link any outside website. Well, just in case you want to see how my phone screen looks like when I use it, the video ID on youtube is KRzvJLc78BA
xD great video
Anyway this happen with custom roms, dont? i mean, should work if you do wipes, etc
PD: i dont installed any rom in my phone (warranty ) but i installed lollipop in a lg l9 and works fine without any problem and very smooth
Have you tried BlissPop or Candy5?

I really like stock CM12. It's fast, stable, and apps rarely crash.
I have been using cm12 for over 2 months on my Moto G 1st gen now. I have rarely to never experienced any app crash or basically any problem at all. Even the memory leak is fixed by an app called Moto G Multitasker. Just do a clean flash of cm12 (wipe data/factory reset + wipe dalvik + wipe cache) and I'm sure you'll have no problems.
[Q] Slow Moto G and vibration issues
1. I recently got a Moto G XT1032 and updated OTA to Lollipop 5.0.2. I did not use it before updating, it has 500-700 MB of free space, I also erased the cache partition, but the phone is extremely slow. So slow that when opening Facebook for the first time, I have 15-20 seconds of white screen and then it loads, and 5-10 seconds of white screen for WhatsApp, GMail or Spotify. If it's in any way relevant, it's not rooted, I am using Aviate launcher, no other customizations and when using Apus launcher, for example, it's a tad faster. I know Moto G was not supposed to be one of the faster phones on the market even when it was released, but what would you recommend me to do to bring it to a decent speed? Meaning which ROM, script, optimizations, Android version etc. would you recommend?
2. Issues with vibrations: it vibrates a couple of times (for example when typing a couple of letters on the keyboard or when getting 1 notification) and then it stops vibrating. Even when using vibrate test from Test my Android, it does not vibrate and the only way to make it vibrate again is to shake it. After shaking, if I use long vibrate test, it vibrates for minutes, but if I start and then stop it, it stops vibrating on the 3rd of 4th try (probably depends on how hard I've shaken it). On short vibrate test, it stops vibrating after 2-30 vibrations (again, depends how hard shaken before). If test is on and I shake it, it starts vibrating again, so it seems to have trouble starting the vibration. Is this a hardware problem and any idea how to fix it? Did not manage to try solution from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/guide-fix-annoying-bad-vibration-t2860152 because I don't currently have the tools to open it.
PS: also not sure how relevant it is, but at some point it had a cracked screen and LCD+frame was replaced with something bought from eBay.
I'd try a factory reset. It's something I always did after updating the stock rom via Ota. Just backup your apps and settings. Anyway I'd advice installing a custom rom since my Moto G slowed down too a lot after upgrading to 5.1.
So is it normal for the device to be so slow? I will try in the evening the factory reset and then reinstall the apps (will probably use Helium). About custom roms, I don't need anything fancy and with lots of customizations, just based on Lollipop and fast, what would you recommend?
Sort of because lollipop is far heavier than kitkat and a big os upgrade without a wipe may leave too many trash files in the system. If you want fast roms you should try the aosp based ones. I'm currently using Paranoid.

Thanks, I did a hard reset, reinstalled apps and the speed has improved quite much. At least I don't get "application is not responding" messages and it's as slow as it should for the hardware it has. I would not unlock it and put custom ROM on it, factory reset was enough.
