Let me begin by saying I have a rooted Infuse with Infused 2.2.3 Gingerbread and the Infusion Kernel.
As I use the Infuse over the course of the week, apps get started up and slowly my memory goes down. I can shut off some apps manually, but some refuse to get turned off, even by ram clearing apps and manual rooted actions.
Whenever I want to speed my phone up again and free up Ram, I have to reset my phone.
My question is how would I go about clearing the ram on my phone back to the 'phone-on' starting position, when my apps have yet to be activated?
I have used Advanced Task Killer to attempt this and it does not permanently close apps. I have also used Autokiller Memory Module to close programs, but they also do not stay closed (Is there something to Chuck Norris mode?).
Does anyone know a way to clear the ram back to that point? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do NOT need any memory managers to manage. Let android manage memory.

Once again, my phone's internal memory manager works FINE, but it does over time get bogged down by too many apps trying to start at once.
My ONLY question: Can I reset the phone's memory back to a reset state without resetting my phone?
Thanks for anyone who knows an answer to this!

Read again:
Apps don't start at once, nor compete. Based on usage of apps, OS loads them into RAM, and keeps them there. The amount of RAM to be always left free is set initially. Rest of the RAM is filled here. Apps filled like this do NOT use CPU. They use CPU only when they are invoked, or backgrounded.
Say you are done working with an app, and use the exit function in it. It just signals OS its end, but the app is not cleaned out of RAM. It is kept until it is invoked again, or pushed out until more free RAM than available is needed or when pushed out manually using task manager.
When any app wants more RAM than what is available, the preloaded ones are pushed out, and this app is loaded.
Too many apps compete for CPU and memory when a user starts hitting "home" button instead of "back" button. Home button pushes apps to background wherein the back button signals u r out of the app. This sets the app to be pushed out of RAM as needed.
I use pretty many apps, and sometimes go on for over a week without bothering to use any task manager to clear out RAM nor noticing any lag.
And to be specific to your question:
There is no time like initial start time until the phone is rebooted again. If u give the phone some time to settle after u reboot it, u can see apps being to memory, be it that they are invoked by you or not. Even if ATK or any task killer kills them, OS respawns them over time based on ur usage of them.
Thanks, I'll try pushing the back button more often and see if that works...though for google apps that usually isn't allowed.
The problem is that even with Android's automatic system, I'm still being given "Low Memory" warnings on all my apps within a few days of rebooting.
I dunno, I think that currently the only real solution is to reboot my phone bi-daily, but I really was hoping there was a way to reset the OS ram without a full reboot.
Again, thanks anyway!

Maybe u have too many apps open. Not sure what's the case on ur phone. Personally I never faced this low memory issue so far.
By the way, I froze up certain system apps (in tibu) (even deleted some) that I don't use, like Google search, etc cos these r always loaded and I never use them.

I have a tablet android 4.1. After some time I don't have runing apps and I don't have free memory. I don't have running tasks, I don't have cashed tasks. And I don't have free memory. After this critical point the tablet needs restart. Of course after restart everything works fine, for some hours. After sleep the above critical point comes quicker... The problem seems to me like driver or software problem but I can't be sure... I m searching for a similar solution for an app that can without restart, restart my ram, clear completely my ram, not task killing because at the end I don't have tasks to kill... It looks like somehow a garbage ram is created after some time, that kills my ram. It looks like virus but it is not virus as the device is new and I have check for viruses...
Just get the app Startup Manager, stop all user apps (except some that you do want to run), apply, and reboot
Cache cleaner free from the market. I use cache cleaner ng.
sent from outer space.
Quick and easy approach - use Fast Reboot.
Brings the phone to like-rebooted condition... in about 5 seconds.
Normally don't need it, but occasionally phone gets bogged down and this clears it right up.
Free program.
Another step - a little more work - Find the programs that are running with a service and get rid of them if you don't need them... or use Gemini Apps manager to block auto-start. Google Maps is a good one to block auto start of.
Has anybody tried the xposed framework? Phone is rooted and I want to use the "keep notifications" feature which requires xposed. I have read the xposed threads and it seems like its very unstable n had loads of bugs and can also almost brick the phone. Has any body tried greenify with xposed? Has anybody installed xposed successfully on moto g?Are there any problems on moto g due to xposed?
Thanks guys for the help. I did install and activate it and rebooted. I activated the greenify module and rebooted again. Then I turned on the "keep notiifcations" feature in greenify and rebooted yet again. Now another problem quietly bombarded upon my face. I am simply not getting any notification for the hibernated apps. For example, let's take the Facebook's messenger app. It is hibernated. I asked my friend to send me a message just to see if I got any notification. I simply didn't. Any solutions to this?
Noo... nothing like that u cn use....i m using it...also have more modules too..nvr had any problm.

Xposed gets unstable if you use lots of modules and especially some exotic ones.Otherwise you wont even notice that it's there.
I concur. Used Xposed with the GravityBox and BootManager modules for several months on my previous phone and never had any problem. I guess you could get bugs if you activate different modules that perform the same modifications, though. They might conflict with one another, I guess.

Yes : uninstall Greenify
I never noticed any real difference in battery life.
I am seriously considering giving up on greenify for a while and see if it goes well, maybe back to use ART in this case for uninstalling xposed. I feel the battery impact is not that huge at all.

Guys, I don't use Greenify for saving battery, I use it for getting some free RAM. These apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Messenger, etc always keep running in the background and hog memory and impact game performance. Also, when these apps receive messages and a notification comes up, the running game lags for some seconds badly. One solution is turning the wifi off. But still, these apps do try to connect when running in the background and thus they do have some sort of activity going on. Also, they eat RAM and depriving the game of memory and thus slowing it down.

In that case simply enable "GCM Push notifications" on experimental features, all the pushes that come within GCM will work properly - well, quite properly since it lags the notifications a bit on my end.

Hello,
I just changed my phone, the xperia Z2 to Z5. I then reinstalled much of my app, and I must admit it already lag.
There is not an app that blocks the app auto start, and shut them truly when i closed? (without rooting the phone, I'd avoid gun down right away my warranty ^^)
Thank you !

There's functionality to disable selected apps,
disabling Autostart unfortunately isn't possible on the stock ROM
You could try out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.startupmanager
but in the most cases the phone needs to be rooted for these kind of tools to be efficient
Thanks for your quick response, do you know a method to root the phone without loosing the warranty ?
How the hell did you manage to make a 3GB RAM device lag?
Do you use any of those boosters, battery savers, AV's or any other crapware like this?
Yes, I use this kind of tools... Apus, Clean Master, app like that. Do you think they are bull**** ?
I don't know of it exist an app or a option to export all my ram consuming to show you.
There you go. They are all bull$hit. You do not need any of this crap. Uninstall them, give clean master and those other boosters 1 star rating and the device magically becomes faster.
Also be sure to uninstall that AVG as well that came with Z5 (mine did come with it) you honestly don't need that either.
Android can handle it's RAM itself.
Here's a quick and easy guide..
1. Navigate to Settings>Apps
2. Force Stop and disable ALL bloatware and unnecessary Apps..
(just keep in mind, when disabling an App, you MUST also disable the app.. Force stopping it alone won't stop it from restarting).
3. Navigate to Settings>Storage and Clear cache..
4. Reboot device and enjoy a more stable and lag free device, and better battery life.
Oh I almost forgot...
Don't install any of those bulls*** useless battery saving apps, or virus scanners etc.. They do absolutely nothing for your device except take up space, ram and cause the device to lag because of constantly running in the background.. I have trialed many of those apps on previous devices and they did nothing but waste space and ram and cause the device to heat up faster than normal. Since then I've had many android devices and never installed any of those crap apps and haven't had any problems with battery, malware, performance etc..

The Z5 has KSM Enabled by default meaning that it will clean up duplicate info aswell as fairly agressive OOM
You shouldent easily run out of ram but just to keep performance up keep away from the following apps, e.g disable or uninstall
Google search
Google maps
Google photos
Facebook
Any performance boosters or ram cleaners

Previously owned z3 and Z, this new z5 is running so slow.
Even the most basic tasks ate taking forever and phone is so leggy.
I've also now got some ads coming up on the lock screen. I've managed to disable it on the options as it pops up but can not see what app is causing it.
Please can you advise on removing it and anything else causing this poor running.
I've tried various antivirus and ad removal apps with no joy

U can use adaway for scanning adware.
For best results, perform full factory reset and do not install such doubtful apps anymore to prevent further issues.

Do you have ES file explorer installed by any chance?
Hello.
I have a few days a Mate 9 latest version.
* Already tried elsewhere.
Turned off all battery optimizations that could be the problem.
The problem: every few minutes, I do not know if 90 or 120 more or less, even if the apps that I want are locked and protected in multitasking and battery options are all disabled, they will be DELETED from the multitasking. This with more than 2 GB of RAM still free. There is some routine that does this and that brings me the screen timeout always to 1 minute. And every time I have to bring it back to my 15 seconds.
Now you understand that it makes no sense, but no one has experienced this problem? How to solve it?
_Thanks
Do a Factory reset.

Nothing is changed. Maked an hard reset but nothing. After 6 hours, without touch my phone, I see only 5 app opened in multitasking. Initially I had 11 app opened. This with more than 2GB of free ram.
What a delusion. Ram management is really awful.
Seems like a "visible" problem also, because I opened again one of those app and this app was where I had left it. So why the apps disappeared from multitasking?
Other solutions?
Sorry to revive a super old thread but I am facing the same issues here. A particular app I use a lot (Hangouts) keeps getting closed so I am missing notifications even though I have the appropriate settings in Battery option. I tried searching the web for solutions but it looks like there is nothing available to truly whitelist an app from the aggressive memory management algorithms?
