[How to] Free more ram on samsung galaxy devices - General Topics

Hi guys
Having a gb of ram and almost 3/4th ofbthat is always filled.
Your device can play asphalt 8 but you cant due to low fre ram.
Samsung galaxy devics provide a lots of junk apps.
You can free ram in many ways.
1 - DISABLING APPS
you can go to settings - application manager - all apps. Now you can tap on app which you dont want to run and disable it.
This will give you 10 mb of free ram per app disabled.
2 - REMOVING JUNK SYSTEM APPS
if you have a rooted device. You can always remove apps which you can only disable when you are not rooted. For this open es file manager and slide your fingure fron left edge to center. A menu will open in that menu just head to root menu and tap it on. After that tap on same root menu text. Many options will open choose unstall system apps and uninstall apps you dont use BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER UNSTALL ONLY THOSE APPS WHICH YOU DO NOT USE AND REMOVE THEIR ODEX FILE MAUALLY. ONLY UNSTALL APPS WHICH YOU KNOW WILL NOT EFFECT SYSTEM WORKING. This method always frees ram and internal space also.
If you have any problem you can contact me

Please hit thanks if you got helped.
Peace

This has always been the advice. But I found that even though I had a lot of junk apps on freeze, my RAM still gets occupied by who-knows-what. I'm beginning to think it's a touchwiz problem

Replace Touchwiz with Apex or Nova.
Touchwiz launcher uses about 600MB RAM, Apex and Nova only about 60MB.
My Note 3 averages around 700MB in use when Idle.(of 2.71GB free) (And I'm on an old 4.4.2 stock, not even rooted. Just disabled most apps, greenified nearly everything and using Apex. I could probably free up more, but I can't be bothered to root at the moment. XD)

Actually touchwiz is designed fr devices running more than 1.5 gb of ram. It has its oun benifits. Beautiful shaders and lots of widgets. This is the problem that the touchwiz needs ram which others donot do. Thats why i recomend to replace it with nova.
Nova also gives a lollipop look.
We have to adjest with this only as core 2 never get a official lollipop update

If you are non rooted then dont make your heart shrink.
You can also do a trick.
Install nova launcher and then disable the touchwiz and yohooooo.

How it's possible to disable TouchWiz? The option isn't enabled on the app manager...

In the home option of settings select nova as default and toychwiz will automatically will be disabled

[Q]Task manager

How can i download the task manager(from froyo) to cm7?
Sent from my Galaxy 3 using xda premium
Can't. You can however add schortcut to your homescreen (or edit swipe gestures in launcher settings) leading to settings - apps - running apps.
I wud suggest u 2 use "ram manager" app by juwe11 from market. Its THE BEST ram management app i found till now
I am using system app from the market and it seems nice. Will try that ram manager though

Third-Party Apps.

Does installing third party app uses RAM?
Example, I installed GO Launcher to replace my STOCK Launcher. Does it use RAM EVEN IF I DON'T USE MY STOCK LAUNCHER?
Sent from my GT-S7500
Apps only use ram when they are launched. Once they have been running if you press the home button the app will stay in ram to make it easy to quickly go back to it.
Once your ram gets close to being full android kills off apps to free space for new ones launched

When I took a look at the Task Manager. It displays nothing. (Meaning I'm not running anything)
But when I clear RAM from 300 to 100+, my third party apps RELOAD. My keyboard reverts back to yhe SAMSUNG Keyboard. But my RAM became 200+, so, are there apps running in the background that I don't need?

Its best just to leave ram mangerment to android and not use any task mangers. If you need extra ram e.g. With a big game android will clear enough ram for it

Android surely do not waste RAM. Leave it as it is now. If there would be ram needed, you will get it. If you want to be sure that stock luncher is off just delete it with root. But i recomend having two lunchers, because when one have some troubled you can use second one.

[help] ram expander for xperia e dual

I tried ram expander to increase my phone's ram but it won't work for my device. Any solution to this or any alternative to increase the ram??
Sent from my C1604 using xda app-developers app
zRam on CM 10 , increases multitasking performance, or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504319
I was looking for any app that could increase my devices ram size. Have installed pure performances already... Ram expander app is not compatible
Sent from my C1604 using xda app-developers app
There is no app that can expand ram only mods and if you are really desperate on ram try zipaligning your ROM or use a ROM that's zipaligned,
A “RAM Expander” (a.k.a. swap memory) will not make an Xperia E faster. Instead, your phone will slow down. If you want to have more RAM for games, try these things:
1. Long-press Home button and swipe away everything you don't want to use constantly OR has less loading times.
2. There's an app on the Play Store called “Fast Reboot”. Download that, and run it. It will close any unneeded apps in the background, or if they're being used (like Gmail syncing your mail), they'll be rebooted.
That said, unless you plan on gaming, you won't get any speed increase here. For making your phone faster during normal usage, you could try these things (and if you do play games, this will make your phone even better):
1. Download and use a lightweight launcher, like Apex or Zeam. I personally use Apex because it's more customizable, but Zeam is definitely more lightweight.
2. Download and use Opera Mini or Dolphin Mini instead of Chrome. These use much less RAM.
3. Reboot your phone about once a week (any more, or any less, will result in slowdowns).

Looking for app to keep other apps from being killed

Hi All,
Most people are looking for apps to kill other apps when they are running - I'm actually looking for the opposite. Phone keeps killing apps to free up some RAM here and there, and some of the apps to not restart themselves. Are there any good apps out there that can be used to monitor specific apps and restart them if they are killed by the system?
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Or Xposed plus the app settings module. You can force apps to stay in memory so they won't be killed.

That's perfect, I already have Xposed and the App Settings module. Thanks a ton! Would this be the "insistent notification" option?
Nope. The resident checkbox is what you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-7-1-2013-12-15-t2437377

Hmm, that actually makes a lot more sense. Thanks again for the help!
No problem.

I'm not sure about Rom Toolbox Lite but the Pro version lets you add apps to the exclude list for task manager so those apps don't get killed.

Thanks, I think I have the pro of that app purchased from a while ago. Will give that one a try as well.

How can I make it faster?

I have been using this awesome phone for a month already, honestly, the best note ever, anyways. I'm trying to see how can i disabled some apps and improve memory ram, can't find a way, any guide around? Thanks!
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Not much to disable without rooting. I usually turn animations and such to .5 in developer menu as well as use Google now launcher or nova. I do install the Google app alternatives from the play store. Those usual have less features but are smoother. I also use chrome and install the chrome Samsung library. It seems to help a bit.
An app called package disabler pro lets you disable any app without root...great app but be careful what apps you disable.
Any suggestions on what to uninstall to make the note 5 run fast as hell using root titanium backup or any uninstaller ???
Search bar is always helpful but I'm feeling helpful tonight here you go man! Enjoy! Nice usefully note 5 Debloat guide for root and non root users! Enjoy [emoji14]
