Hi to all,
Was playing around many task manager software and etc etc to find a perfect task killing solution.
Finally found the best possible combination, now i always have 280 to 300 mb of memory free. Posting it here so that it will be useful to many.
Software needed.
1. AndMemory.[Rooting Needed].
2. Advanced Task Manager.
3. Process Monitor.
4. Fast reboot(Optional).
How to:
1. Install AndMemory and configure the preset of "Top Speed".
2. Place Advanced Task Manager's widget and Process Monitor widget in homescreen.
3.Configure the Process Monitor.
---->settings-> Autokill preferences-> [Select first 3 options].
---->settings->Widget Preferences->Widget Kill Action->[Select Kill Al Process].
---->settings->Widget Preferences->Top Value->[Process Count]
---->settings->Widget Preferences->Bottom Value->[Memory]
Thats it!!!!!
Note: If you want to free memory manually just click those two widgets placed in the homescreen.
Now the system always has more memory available, which keeps it lag free and also saves battery a lot.
Hope this helps our forum members
hey bala..can u plzz share ur weather widget or any link??
@ adiii
Search for "LG Optimus 2x weather widget" in google .
I think i should not post such links here.
People can also use "Quick Reboot" for closing applications instead of "Advanced Task Manager"
bala I cant find in the market
1. AndMemory. is the name correct?
My understanding after reading a thread here on xda is that killing the process is not helpful accept that you get higher value of free ram but many apps will again occupy the ram as they are designed to do so & by doing so they start much faster. let me find that thread I will post here.
Found that thread
Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer with Android
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678205
After reading that I would prefer to have lag fix applied or use tweak provided by rex4u instead killing the apps that should be better .......what do you say?
@ sgsl
I read that article, nice information. But every task manager is not the same, if all the task manager simply kills the process alone then there is no difference.
The above combination gave me lagless phone usage.
Here is the link for AndMemory
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/andmemory-for-android/
This AndMemory tweaks the built in android memory management.
How memory optimizer works
http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller/details
whats ur opinion?
As for as rex mod of build.prop, The following are the tweaks made,
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.sf.lcd_density=230
All the other are same as my original build.prop. There is no tweak for better battery management as said.
Also having one more doubt , the "ro.ril.gprsclass=10" tweak needs a customized kernel in order to work.[May be im wrong]
Waiting for reply from rex....
hey man
use Super Manager(all in one)
ur memory always 240+
when u unlock u get 313+(i get)
no more widget needed
c my result

@bala_gamer
I only installed And memory & I don't find it freeing more memory than other apps which Ihave been using so I uninstalled my apps & then checked it with And memory its still the same (always 135-200mb free) and that too you have to do it manually the auto setting even after applying do not work.
Seems i am doing something wrong with this app & more over since i installed it something is eating up my battery even in ideal night it consumed 7% where as before it was 2% in the night.
I test it for 1 more day & see if i can get 300mb as you said but I doubt that freeing 300mb will last any longer it will free up & after 2-3 mins the apps again start & would consume it.
Hi friends,
Is there any way out thr to free up memory without rooting the device , i hv tried few task killer app from market but every time i kill the processes it restart automatically .. I m really wired up with this behavior.. Also great help if anyone share links to root the device from gb 2.3.5. Is it possible to root without flashing new firmware??

Hello all
i am kinda new to android
so i installed a task manager which shows me my current amount of RAM
and i found that only 50-70 MB of ram is available with me always
and also when ever i try to play NFS shift on mobile it gives error of less memory
so is there any fix available

It doesnt seem normal for me. Mine is usually in the range of 150 MB to 200 MB depending on the tasks in the background. I use my i9000 for development and dont play games too often (except on my smoke breaks.... )
There are no "fixes" per se. You might however consider using "ATK" (Advanced Task Killer) or "Task Panel X". According to my observation as you keep using the phone for a prolonged period, services and apps will keep getting consuming resources even if you apparently think you had closed them. Its really an honest mistake pressing the "home" key to "close" applications, but I do it all the time too....
You could use ATK to close apps other than those in the "ignore mode" (a feature of ATK) after a specified duration. Does wonders to my RAM
Cheers....
Thanks a lot dude for your reply

Hi guys thanks for your time, so this is my doubt
When i turn on my phone i have 170 MB available memory but after a while down to 70 MB sometimes to 40 MB, what should i install to have more than 100 MB free?? i already have [email protected] 256Hz #97 Kernel and 2.2.1 XXJPY firmware.
thanks
regards
Usually this won't matter because with the Android OS, it will usually keep all the stuff you close (internet, contacts, recently accessed menus etc) cached in it's RAM as a non active application until you happen to tab into it again, thus instantly loading.
Android is also smart enough to know since the application is inactive, if it's eating your memory, it will force-close these applications to free up memory for the new applications. ie, I'm running internet, close it, and my memory is up to 280mb, then try to run AngryBirds and it will close the Internet app + others if it has to.
So... usually not an issue, but if it does become an issue you can run a service/task killer app that will handle all nonactive apps and terminate them. Or you can just clear level 1+2 ram periodically and it will reset it back to default until it starts filling with crap again.
Ok i have advanced task killer but i was reading in some topics in this forum that some guys have more than 150 MB free without using a task killer
Advanced task killer eats your battery
android doesn't need a task killer, as it kills tasks itself.. i don't know why there are so many out there they just eat up battery..
one app I would suggest is 'auto-killer' its free and I have mine set to aggressive. that's all you need to do then forget about it.. it keeps your memory from getting bogged down.
ok thanks for the tips
i got 2 questions 1- should i use advanced task killer and enable auto kill??
2- i really like touchwiz launcher and i don't want to change it but its always lagging btw am using modded touchwiz with 5 dock items and transparent appdrawer

Uninstall and reinstall the modded launcher? I'm not familiar with it, so I really have no idea what the problem is. Does your phone lag anywhere besides the launcher? If not, it's probably the launcher itself.
As for an automated task killer, that is useless. Android (Linux) manages ram differently from Windows: it loads things into RAM so you can use them faster, and it kills things when it needs more space. This means that RAM is being taken up by essentially background processes—no CPU cycles are being used, and no battery is being drained, they are simply held in RAM to ensure later usability. Killing these applications, even while not in use, simply makes Android launch more apps to utilize free RAM in the background. Therefore, by closing them, you're forcing Android to open more, which consumes CPU cycles, drains your battery, etc.
If you're interested in making your phone more responsive, and have been looking towards memory management to do so, I would strongly suggest using the 'V6 SuperCharger Script'.
Original Thread
Quick Tutorial
I use the MegaRam setting, which leaves plenty of memory free at any given time. I believe this is what you were wanting to accomplish with the task manager; however, again, Linux does not work like Windows. It has amazing benefits, though. Give those links a look.

That was awesome dude!!
nice post!
hey soudy1994 try the above post, i was gonna post that but he got it
topped with some extra easy tutorial !
These may also help you in boosting your SGS !
Build.prop tweaks (only if your ROM support for build.prop & init.d).
SAS Tweak.!
i think the above tweaks may have Juwe's Ramhack,i recommend go through em once and if the ramscript is not present you can have it, use the script manager (from the above tutorial )if you are a newbie !
I have phone patched with SAS tweaks+Juwe's script !
and finally would say try Jetpack ROM it has SAS tweaks built in and Solid kernel based on CF-root (semaphore)!
try my sign !
This Q is for active devs...
Can you guys do RAM to be like after installing V6 supercharger...
Supercharger is great but, it lag from time to time and it needs to be refreshed... So is it possible to modify stock android ram managment to be like supercharger...
(to tweak it actually, to modify minifrees like V6 SC??)
I think performance incrase will be massive that way! Better than some third party scripts.
If it's impossible than, allright.. but it's always good to ask, isn't it?
EDIT:
...oh .. I apologize, I accidentally posted this in dev section instead of general.. so don't mind please!
ANSWER IS: #2 post

Hey Dare-Devil,
this Supercharger script actually does exactly what you asked for:
it modifies the settings of the internal/stock android RAM management,nothing more and nothing less.

One more question..
Is this possible to achieve more multitasking like FROYO on Gingerbread Roms without the things like:--Swapping,supercharger etc.
1. Gingerbread roms are bug free and with extra features but I can run only 3-4 application at a time
e.g.- suppose that I am downloading some files(100-400MB) with opera/dolphin etc in background and suddenly I have to open root explorer and install some applications then during the installation of these applications opera/dolphin automatically kill by the android and downloading stops.
2. FROYO roms are with less features and some bugs like DSP, A&V Sync.
But one thing that is impressive is that I can run 8-9 applications simultaneously.
Take the same example....I can download files via opera/dolphin in parallel with installing apps via root explorer, playing music, market downloading, Emails etc.
I don't know why there is too much difference. I think this point should not be ignored.
Ram manager pro + swapper + sd class 4
That's all you need.
PD: Supercharger it's laggy and doesn't installs easily...

And I were telling this ages ago...
Gingerbread requires more memory for the OS itself than Froyo. It's as simple as that.
This is why our devices are already out of spec and we have to use many, many hacks to make it run to an acceptable level.
If you want to fix that, you have to analyse where this RAM is consumed and rewrite the code of these components more efficiently. This is actually google's job though.
now i'm interested about this part
wait till i release new optimizer
i'm pretty busy lately
new version released
link : Here My Optimizer
Guys use ram manager app by juwe11.it really does its job.buy the full version and use hard multitasking setting.

Auto Memory Manager. The idea behind it is simple, but dont restrict the RAM too much, it can **** up performance.
What swapper exactly does?
Please use Google uncle for this question u will get the answer.
As naa said we have to identify the ram eaters. And rewrite memory management segment for those modules. So the basic question is to identify the modules. For that we need a tool that will show the memory consumption.

If anyone has installed this application plz give your opinion !
already use that damn thing in 2010, not so bad app, but not so good also, it claims it can kills app but itself running?? n also killing background app n process without consent of owner juz draining ur battery as da process will be revive by system over n over again.
if u wanna some liquidity, try browsing dev sec n find some tweak n if u already choose something, come here n ask us silly question...dont ask there as they already given instruction but some user doesnt even bother to read

i've made the experience that android's build-in mechanismens already are pretty clever and know when to kill an app and when not.
killing an app and open it 5 minutes later again is not the best way to save battery
Things are kept in ram for faster startup and saving cpu power hence increasing battery life.you don't want a complete free ram in android
If you hibernate apps with greenify that spawn unwanted background processes, stay away from widgets and use a bigmem kernel, then you wont need a background app killer to keep your phone smooth
There are many good apps that dont need much ressources...so keep ramhoggers away...cause our i9000 is getting old...^^
