Worth upgrading a Tipo ST21i - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

I still have my Xperia Tipo but these days it can barely hold enough memory to perform updates. I am still on 4.0.something of android.
If I went and upgraded to one of the 4.4 spins that are around, would it improve performance. I see some of the videos with some phones with more apps than I can due to memory shortage. Does going to 4.4 improve ram etc?
I would like to keep my phone for as long as possible but recent updates are requiring more memory.
Thanks​

im using xperia tipo too. i recommend you to install cm11 but it have some issues. you can try 4.0 custom roms.
firstly, you must know cm11 won't bring you more performance than 4.0. but you can install more apps like clash of clans with 4.4.
stock rom using thumbnail file to show media things like photos an videos. cm11 don't using thumbnail file, so you can get 200-500 mb more space than stock 4.0.

Thank you Sanalinka,
It's not the speed I need, it's the ram and internal space. My phone was on Tesco mobile so I wonder if it was inefficient with the core memory.
I will seek out cm11 and let you know.
Many thanks again

[Q] RAM ISSUES with samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)

I own a samsung galaxy tab 2(GT p3100), which initially had 4.0.4 ICS with 687 MB RAM(but specified as 1 GB RAM, as some developers claim that it is being reserved for system). I updated my firmware to 4.1.2 and now it showed me 770 MB RAM. later i rooted my device and installed the latest CM(cyanogenmod) 10.1 (jelly bean 4.2). To my surprise this rom which has less bloatware and is smoother, it showed me 691 MB RAM, less than 770 MB as displayed by the STOCK jelly bean OS.
i would like to ask, which OS(custom/stock) displays the MAX RAM for GALAXY TAB 2 7.0(P3100)???????
as i don't ve enough internet downloading capacity(limited downloads), i can't just go on downloading all the firmwares and keep flashing everytime, SO EXPERIENCED USERS, PLEASE SUGGEST.
for more info(for my knowledge), do please tell this also--------->tab 2(my device specifies 1 GB RAM and the same does galaxy s2, but why with ICS(4.0.4) installed both the devices show different MB RAM. tab2 shows around 680 MB wheras S2 shows around 880 MB, wheras HTC one X shows 1 GB.
why is this so????? i know some developers claim that this RAM is being consumed by system or reserved for system, but why is it different for different devices, when the OS is the same?????
again if you claim that it is reserved by the android system, then WHY DO , WITH NO APPS INSTALLED TOO, I SEE AROUND 300-400 MB RAM BEING USED(300 MB WHEN I DNT USE ANY WIDGETS AND ALL, AND I STOP ALL THE PROCESSES, BY CLICKING FORCE STOP ON ALL APPS LIKE GMAIL AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT ANDROID SYSTEM AND PHONE AND SOME NECESSARY RED MARKED APPS IN THE DEFAULT TASK MANAGER).
if android process is being displayed here with this 770 MB ram, then where has the 230 MB ram gone------------>do you mean the android process consumes the hidden RAM and also a part of this RAM too???????------------------>this sounds too unpleasant, when htc one x displays all the specified RAM but my tab fails.
really disapponting
You are getting too excited about available RAM. The OS system manages available RAM so each different ROM will use it a little more or less.
The amount of free RAM has nothing to do with how many apps are stored, ONly how many apps are RUNNING. Android system efficiently manages RAM and tries to keep it about 80% full all the time. So called Bloatware (one mans bloat is another mans useful app) has nothing to do with speed , they do nothing if you don't run them.
The system RAM usage contained OS buffers, temp storage and system routines that are always loaded for speed.
1GB is a ton of RAM for android.
You do not have a RAM issue.
You can run out of SD storage space for downloaded apps if you store too many. But you have several GBs of storage so that's hard unless you are a real pack rat.

Right Sir,
well, regarding storage i dont ve any issue as some data like pics and vids can be kept in ext storage card too,but i also wanted to know which ROM provides user with more RAM, so that it will be good for multitasking or if i play high end games like NFS MW

The amount of difference between one kernel and another (which is what really matters here) isn't large enough to make any real difference in the performance of any application. The available RAM after the kernel grabs its stuff varies around 10% from one kernel to the next.
If you want to make a performance impact, make sure you minimize the number of running applications that compete for the available RAM. However, that won't make much difference as Android is very aggressive about grabbing memory back from idle applications.
Basically, you're obsessing over something that in the end will make no difference in how your tablet runs.

Irrelevant. Android will clear apps from RAM if it's needed by an app with high memory usage. This isn't windows

well, if this is the thing, and android can kill apps automatically then why do some people prefer custom ROMs like CM or AOKP.
even for installing custom ROMs they need to root their tab/phone, and if they root and want to get rid of so called bloatwares and make their OS lightweight, they can uninstall it using root uninstaller(available for free in google play)....
but why do they prefer custom ROMS?????

More features generally. Some roms will manage the memory better than others, ie at what point it starts to kill apps to free RAM(although this can be adjusted in any rom using rom toolbox or a similar app). many custom roms include a theme engine allowing more customiza. They may make better use of resources to decrease battery usage or because it has better cpu governors which will increase performance. They may flash a custom roms because it's kernel includes modules that aren't in the stock Kernel. There are many reasons besides RAM usage, since as you say you can root and remove bloatware and change memory handling(called minfree or oomut of memory)

Review and opinion ICs 4.0.4 Official

Hello to everyone, i need some help with my O3D. I hace it with GB and I am not sure to update it to ICS. I have search into your great fórum and I have found people with some problems like HDMI output refer to sound output, also some bugs with the camera in 3d, also some bugs about brithgness.
I will like to put only Officla ICs on my O3d, but I like people to tell me how phone goes, I mean if it has a lot of lags or goes slow, about gamming, about memory ram usage, also about if pictures are saved to external Sd o internal Sd, and many other stuff about it.
I jave search for a review but I did not have found any complete review about phone with official ICS.
Also I will like to now how much memory is left after the update, phone memory.
I have seen there are many roms for this mobile but I only want to put the oficial one.
Thanks very much
No one has stock ics installed in their p920?
I've tried many roms and kernels (around 30, maybe more) but now I have stock ICS I can say its the most stable and best daily driver you could ever get.
With all roms and kernels I've experienced lag after some use, but not with the original ICS.
Batterylife isn't great, but if you want a phone who is able to do anything it should do, whenever you want it to do its the best rom you could get.
Thanks for reply. And what about internal storage? How much is left?
And also I will like to now about ram since now in GB i always have 76 left in standby.
I have also read some issues about pictures in 3d something about the size and about the settins.
My other phone was an xperia neo v and I got this one because the other was always saying low internal memiry left.
thanks
take my advice if you are gonna flash ics to your phone then flash the STOCK version DON'T flash any custom roms even if it is based on stock one
about ram i think ram on official ics better than gb i have about 120-150 free ram in standby and you have the option to don't allow background processes to keep running (you can find it in the developer options inside system settings) that would save you more ram and more battery life
the phone storage at ics is about 980 mb
about 3D camera it works fine no problem at all with it the only problem is with the 3D converter not only for games but also with some videos it doesn't convert the 2D videos to 3D ones
games perform well with no lag with ics but keep in mind that battery consumption much more in ICS than in GB
Thanks for the answear. can you also tell about quality of the pictures in 2d? Are they the same as in GB o better?
Also are pictures saved in internal sd in the 8 gigas or in the external sd?
Thanks very much
well
i am not a big photographer i don't use camera too much but i think 2D pictures not bad you can ask someone else who like to capture many pictures
the captures images can be saved at the external SD not the 8 gb storage normally
you can switch storage from external SD to 8gb in the camera settings
if you needed any help in flashing you can pm me i like to help people

3D Converter is meant for games that are programmed in Open GL. See here for a list of just a few games that work well with it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17845028
Drastic00, that's correct. Reason: OpenGL is mainly a video compute programming so the GPU driver can mirror two angles for two image frames (for ceramic plate angles in 3D mode), so what you get is stereoscopic 3D image. Not all games get along with Real3D chainlinking services so it's 2D for most.
My opinion on ICS: It's pretty good as far as I am concerned - one nice thing about it is that you get improved multi-core CPU scheduling in the pseudo-kernel service (Dalvik virtual machine software) so the apps run better compared to Gingerbread.
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
Thanks for all your replies. I have flashed to ICS, and I have also hard reset my pone, for now it does work well, but pictures where better in GB. For all the rest it Works quiet good. Sometimes I have notice that it gets slow, specially when someone calls, it takes long time for the answear option to appear. Also the auto brightness does not work good. And also the problems I read about 3D pictures are there.
I will test it for a few days, and if this issue continues I will go back to Ginger, since it is very frustrating to try to answear a call. I have not tested in games since I don`t play much.
I have also notice that ram gets very fast to low levels and that is what makes it slow. I have dissable some application in the settings like google play books and google music.
Thanks

[Q] Ok, help me people!! (Again)

Ok, this is not a rant thread, just so you know. Nor is it a basic thread asking about the mistakes I made. Kind of.
Some of you would know I kingo rooted my Xperia E last week. Bricked my xperia e last week. Fixed my xperia e last week.
Downloaded Rom Toolbox lite on my xperia e yesterday. Bricked my phone yesterday. Fixed my phone yesterday.
To be safe, I need you to tell me the safest root apps that will help my phone:
Speed up general performance
Increase RAM from 409MB
Make games work much faster like Temple Run 2, Subway Surfers, and even JETPACK JOYRIDE!!!!
Keeps me on top of my app installations and CPU/GPU Control
I also want a fancy boot animation, which is what bricked my phone in the first place I believe (Yesterday, using rom toolbox).
And I want these by:
Give me a CPU Control that is safe and can give my phone max performance.
Give me either an app that creates RAM Swapfiles or a technique you can do when connecting your mobile/sdcard to the pc to get more RAM.
Give me apps that may find blocks of data when needed (like lagfix) and fix entropy levels, as well as smart root ram boosting to make game performance hugely improve.
I want an app like a Root Browser that keeps me on top of my system, my CPU and GPU manually at all times.
Thanks, Guys.
To speed up general performance, the best thing is Greenify. Just hibernate Google Play Services, Facebook, and any other app you don't want running in the background.
I don't think there is a way to increase RAM, but you can probably use Swapper for Root to add swap. Of course, your kernel needs to support swap (I think hsr0's CM10 does).
Seeder, Hyper Cola Mod, 16-128 MB of swap, and Greenify speed up gaming a lot. But how come you can't play Jetpack Joyride? I can play NFS: Most Wanted and CSR Racing easily.
No idea for GPU control, but CM10 gives CPU control in Settings > Performance.
When downloading a boot animation, make sure it's for MDPI. Other than that you should be fine.
Greenify frees RAM, Swapper for Root adds swap. Seeder generates entropy, CM10 gives CPU control.
What do you mean by "on top of my app installations"?

Thanks, I have a few questions and an answer to yours. So:
Are you saying Greenify frees ram of servicing apps in the background? Because I have already got an app that freezes apps. Is that fine?
Hyper Cola Mod? What that Do? Seeder, does it work?
I tried Swapper for Root, my clean master said the same amount of RAM and I didn't see much to any difference. Could you give me the Computer method, creating your own swapfile?
MDPI? Help me.
And give me a completely simple way of flashing CM10/10.2 on m xperia e. I have it rooted, android 4.0.4, kernel .68, with No frills CPU Control (only helping a little) and Rom Toolbow. Give me a link to hsr0's cm10 and how to put it on my phone because I don't think mine works with swap.
NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT APPS ONTO SD CARD, HEAVY ONES!!!
EDIT TO MY GAMING COMMENT: I can play Jetpack Joyride, with tiny lagg at tiny times for a tiny amount of time, but I need help on Temple Run 2 especially. Subway Surfers still has minor lagg but it has 90% improved from what it was before I rooted. I also need the tutorial for volt.fstab thing allowing me to have sd card for my internal memory. And one more question:
If I do the volt.fstab technique, making my sdcard into internal memory allowing me to download NFS Most Wanted, can I still use my SDCARD for ram? Because if I'm right, with the volt.fstab technique you make your sdcard into internal memory. And you cannot make swapfiles in internal memory? Can I still increase RAM?
Thanks. I will most likely Greenify, Seeder, Swap for Root (CM10). I need nformation on how to fit Most Wanted on my Xperia E.
MY INFO:
Sony Xperia E Single Sim
Android 4.0.4 (Kernel 11.A.0.68)
Rooted w/SuperSU (Kingo Android Root)
ROM Toolbox Lite, No Frills CPU Control, Swapper for Root (Not Working).
2GB of Internal Storage with 600MB left (NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT APPS ONTO SD CARD, HEAVY ONES)
4GB SD Card with 3.09 GB available.
Sorry for the really REALLY large comment, lol.
Lag?
Get greenify donation pack and greenify the sony media apps as well,and basically everything except a few [like com.sonyericons.usbbox or something,systemui,lockscreen,launcher,etc] and I don't really think seeder works now[I've tried it on my XE,htc pico and a SII,works on none]
So,straight away flash pure performances or hyper cola package[never tried hyper cola package actually] and if possibe run v6 supercharger script.
And done.
@XPeRIAeUSeR
Whatever happens, DO NOT CHANGE THE vold.fstab! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HARD-BRICK (such that even Sony can't fix) THEIR PHONES WITH THIS! (clears throat) Now, with that out of the way...
This is the CM10 I use: ROM by jjm34, kernel by hsr0, guide by UltraGamerHD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48837634#post48837634
Yes, Greenify frees RAM. It does so by "hibernating" apps and putting them out of the memory. When the apps are launched again, they are put back in the memory automatically, so you can continue using them. But don't use Greenify with IM apps (like WhatsApp), alarm apps, etc, as they need to run in background.
Hyper Cola Mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404653) does stuff I really don't understand to speed up gaming a lot. However, you need to reboot after the gaming session, otherwise the battery will drain very quickly.
Swapper doesn't change the amount of RAM you have, but it adds swap, where apps can reside while they are not being used. Also, swap will not work on stock (ICS or JB doesn't matter), it needs CM10. Well, it only needs the CM10 kernel, but the kernel needs the rest of CM10, so you need to put the whole CM10 or your phone won't boot.
To put heavy games on my external SD, I use FolderMount - it mounts certain folders of your choice from the internal card to the external card, so the phone thinks the stuff is on the internal card, but in reality it's on the external card. Thanks to MatsPunt for telling me about it.
The stuff I mentioned (CM10 included) will help, but not much if you're already using ICS.
And once again, to remind you: Whatever happens, DO NOT CHANGE THE vold.fstab! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HARD-BRICK (such that even Sony can't fix) THEIR PHONES WITH THIS! Use FolderMount instead.
Your asking for the impossible
If you want a fast phone then buy one -_-, please do not expect much from our devices
I'm not really, I know you can max the CPU capabilities, I know ram can be increased and the people's comments above you.can improve so much of so little.

FolderMount works this way: when Android looks for files in a folder, say, /sdcard/Music, FolderMount redirects Android to a different folder, say, /external_sd/Music. So you can store your stuff on /external_sd, but Android thinks the files are in /sdcard.

Oh... you meant it that way. The source directory is

The destination directory (replace external_sd with ext_card if you're using ICS)
Code:
/external_sd/Android/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na
The name can be whatever you want. After this, install the game from the Play Store, and it'll get installed on the external SD card.

[Q] Benefits of rooting the E3

Hi all!
Ignoring the use of root-only apps, I was wondering how much benefit people get from rooting the xperia e3? In other words, saved space or performance enhancements....Not app accessibility.
I'm especially interested in how much internal storage can be freed up. I'm always running low on internal storage, despite transferring everything possible to the SD card.
I hope this thread is not considered too trivial. I have heard about the benefits of rooting in general but I'm wondering about how well it can fix some specific issues I have with this phone.
I haven't rooted before, as I am not interested in root only apps, but this might be my first root.
Thanks in advance...

Mhh By rooting my E3 I could install and play DH4, Summoners war, Brave frontier and respawnables at the same time without deleting data from apk or even uninstall one of them.
I can use customized audio mods, kernel/CPU/GPU tweeks and some other stuff like this
About saved space I got all the crap out of my phone (all google things, all sony bloatware, operator bloatware and so on...
Performance enhancements? By getting down CPU freq. using another governor, I can hear music (with phone speakers, no headset) on my work the full day ( from 7:00 am to 7:00pm for exemple) and being over 40% of battery when I come to home
I believe there are some other benefits there to root your E3 but I just can't remember which or I just don't found yet all other benefits ^^
PS: I hope you understand that all, I learnt english only from gaming, so please be indulgent

Help unbloating my xperia E3 ?

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I would like to start by thanking anyone that will take the time to read this.
So I've had an xperia E3 d2203 with Android 4.4.4 (factory default) for nearly 2 years now, and I'm quite happy with it, except that given the numerous updates that have been stacking on top af each other, the internal memory is now full and i can't seem to find a way to make it better.
I have no pictures, audio or videos on the internal memory, installed a small numbers of apps on the SD card, and disabled all pre-installed apps I don't use and uninstalled their respective updates.
However, I keep getting a notification the the internal memory is more than 85% full, and I can't figure out a way to free any more memory.
So, is there anything else I could try? I really don't want to give in to planned obsolescence and buy a new phone I can't afford.
I have taken a look in installing a new Android ROM. If this is necessary, which ROM should I install? It seems to me AOSP would be the lightest, since every other ROMs are built off this with more stuff added, but I might be wrong.
Thanks for your input !
