Why does my launcher pro plus v0.8.3 often restarts after i done playing a game ???? It happened lately after i moved some apps into my sd card...it really annoys me when i want to change to another game, making me wait for the apps to load...and adding to the ignorance is the apps in the sd card will take about a minute or 2 to finish loading...Any ideas to how to solve this problem ??? Your help is highly appreciated !!!!
Model : Sgs I9000
Rom : Darky v9.5
Kernel : Speedmod k13d
It's not so much of a problem, as it is a feature, of Android itself. It's called Memory Management! And if your game is using a lot of RAM, it is bound to terminate some background applications, in this case, your third party launcher. It might help though, if your launcher app is NOT on sdcard. Also, ensure it is the primary launcher. Beyond that, we can't really mod our phone for more RAM But we can give CM7 a shot...

hmm....after hearing ur advice...i went n find some other launchers and i stumbled on to "Zeam" which i believe is a light-weight launcher...but the "problem" still remains the same...issit because i got too much apps installed???
On ADW launcher u have the ability to keep it running all the time. Just by turning on the option System Persistent under General Behavior-->System Settings that would avoid the launcher from closing
Try that one

It's not about how many apps you have installed. It's more about how many apps are actively running background services...

Hey guys, am I crazy or do some apps not show up in the app drawer? Is this a problem with the specific ROM I'm on, or something else? New to Android.. only had my Nexus One since the end of May. For the record, I'm using Kang-o-Rama 0.9b2 (the FRF72 build).

I'm guessing you use either launcher pro or adw launcher and the apps not showing in the drawer are the apps stored on your memory card...
the problem lies in the order in which everything loads up on boot.
2 fixes for now-
1-install apps to phone memory
or 2-simply force stop launcher (after each reboot)

for your current rom, yes. once the final release comes out I don't expect the problem. However, this is an adw problem and not froyo so maybe anders needs to make a change.
I deal with it because I like adw launcher, but hope it gets fixed.
i'm having a problem when upgrading to kang o rama 1.0 b1 CM6....whereby my ADW launcher keep on computing....so that i can't force stop it to bring back my installed apps...any ideas?
Thanks
Easy fix! Thanks!
Why can't the GSM versions of the Galaxy S line turn off the Touch Wiz UI, just like the CDMA versions as noted on BriefMobile.com? Anyone else notice this?
"turn off"? Install another launcher/homescreen maybe? The homescreen is the only part of touchwiz I dislike, I find the enhancements to the contacts and notification bar quite useful.

This is just a question, but isn't it still there if you put something on top of it? Is that different from disabling it in settings for CDMA versions and does that effect app lag and UI response?
The app lag is largely due to poor I/O performance on the /data partition. There are numerous other foxes for this, but removing TouchWiz will have little impact.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
In my experience, even with the lagfix, TouchWiz was very sluggish (I run a minimal amount of apps in the background so I know I'm not overloading my phone). Using LauncherPro though, I don't experience any lag at all.

That's what I'm trying to understand, say you use LauncherPro on a Captivate. Your not able to disable TWLauncher (like you can on an Epic), your only laying something over it, but it"s still there or am I looking at it the wrong way? Sorry for so many questions.

No Launcher Pro will run if you set it as the default and Touchwiz will not..It is still there but not active so it will not take any resources..

Thanks, that what I was trying to understand.
I tried removing the TWLauncher on my Captivate(after making a nandroid backup). I was sucessfull at removing it but the first time I rebooted my phone the android.process.acore service kept FC'ing every 15 seconds or so. So I eneded up restoring my backup. Be nice to figure out how to remove it w/out screwing the phone up. Nothing else seemed to have a problem with me removing it other than that service.

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone experience jerky performances.
I have about 10 pages of apps installed mostly games and stock apps.
When I use advance app killer, usually i see stock apps eg. facebook, browser, ebook, etc.. When I kill them all, performance doesn't improve much.
If the 10 pages are the reason, any way to know which is running in background and sucking up resources?
The performance of your Gtab is jerky coz of the apps that run in the background even if you close them they restart.. u cn use startup auditor app to increase performance... if all fails hard reset nd install only required Apps not the apps u don't use but run behind nd eat up RAM nd battery

a certain app may be using up too much background resources. try uninstalling the culprit. detct it by trial and error
I was in a similar situation until I last had to factory reset my Tab due to the whole issue with Google Apps Google Accounts not having access to Google Checkout on the Android Market.
Installed over 100 apps on my first day with the Tab (over-excited, I know ), and realized that my Tab started to lag when opening the app drawer. The problem became most apparent when I shut down or rebooted the Tab; it would literally take minutes to boot up, and often it would freeze and force close my launcher several times in a row.
I chalked it down to having too many apps, but later read that many apps start themselves up on boot even if they had no reason to (e.g. Amazon, Aldiko, etc.)
I've since only installed apps that I would really use throughout the day, but would you guys say that so long these apps do not run on startup (say I disable them using the Autostarts app), I can install a hundred or even two hundred apps without the boot up lag?
So there's no way to see which app is running in background and % memory used, similar to windows task manager?
When I use Advanced task killer, are those 'apps shown' considered as background apps or are background apps invisible?
From my RAM manager, I see like 180+ to 200mb out of 400+mb. I think that's the remaining RAM ?
Anyone knows the stock RAM out of the box?
It might be because carriers pre load crap on them

Installed the free startup app and found the culprits ... GAMELOFT games. They are huge in size and think they eat up the memory in background/at startup.
After disabling, all back to normal.

Why on earth would you want to detect it by trial and error when there is plenty of apps you can use to find it specifically?

Use a app like system panel, It will show you all the running apps and there memory/cpu consumption etc.

Every Miui rom I have tried on my many U9000-81 cincinnati bell phones has done this, When the browser or any app stalls, the phone will reboot. Is this a memory overflow causing this? Is it inherent in the phone? I am not a rom developer but this is the reason that I don't like the Miui Rom. First and foremost the phone should be stable. Sorry for the rant.

memmory is great issue with MIUI, many time its own lauuncher got freez because of memmory issue .... using different launcher over MIUI to overcome memmory isuue...
My phone rarely reboots on MIUI and I'm using go launcher and many background apps are also running, I'd suggest you try V6 by zeppelinrox
My phone always has more then 150mb free ram and find no reboot so far. Can you give me some tips to try to make miui reboot or some app names to try the stability?

CK what you use to make free 150 + ram for all time, Now I am using ADW launcher to counter memory problem but not that successful
@paarkhi was using V6 supercharger on RC2 after that forget to use it again ... run it again to check the results ....
V6 rejuvenates the phone in my case, can't say about others

I tried to avoid widgets in each desktop. Widgets will take more cpu and ram for them to work for background and foreground process.
I'm not using any additional tweak other than default rom tweak. I'm using ssLauncher and no widget in every desktop, that's make always 150+ free ram. This launcher is more smooth and light than miui default launcher and quite beautiful even without widget. Maybe not everyone comfortable with this launcher but this is what I looked for from long time ago, paper curl effect desktop change.
For More free RAM, you Guy's should try "RAM Manager" App. you can easily get more than +200 free MB of RAM. Max i got was around 260MB on my CM7.2, I have screen on my phone, i can't show you guy's because my Phone is stolen
Here is the Market link :- CLICK HERE
Free version should be ok because "Balance" Profile work's best for our device & you should run this app in a every while to Boost your RAM...!!

Well unless an app like firefox has a memory leak there should be no issue with memory. And if it does have a memory leak bad enough to crash the OS, a memory manager will not have enough ram to run under that circumstance either. But why don't I have an issue like that with Cyanogenmod?

You remind me with firefox. I stop using firefox several months ago because of memory leak of this app, make the OS reboot even I regularly update the app, but not remember what rom I was used. Since that time I never use firefox again, opera mobile take the place.
Normally the ram manager should not crash even with the memory leak of some apps, it should kill them when the memory reach the minimum free size limitation as we configure in minfree. From what you said, may be the configuration of this minfree will help the memory manager to breath a little deeper.
I think we should give this four values not to low in minfree:
- FOREGROUND_APP
- VISIBLE_APP
- SECONDARY_SERVER
- EMPTY_APP
But will decrease the chance to switch to other task, it will start over from the beginning for some apps.
Well... that what I thought.
I've to consider this for my future rom ports. But I hasn't found this issue in my current rom. I 'll try to install firefox and open many site on tabs.
Edited: Confirmed.... after using firefox with several webs on tabs opened, it got rebooted. But no reboot if using opera mobile.

OK So right now my phone has 104 avail out of 351. One tab opened in firefox now 97/351 5 tabs 102/351 6 tabs 98/351. Not seeing that Firefox is causing problems with CM7. This only happens with Miui as far as I can tell.
Is the problem With Firefox or Miui? Do other programs cause the same problem with Miui? Not Opera obviously. I personally love the look of Miui but reliability is key with me. I hate reboot problems.

Problem is with launcher of MIUI, its really a RAM eater ......
over MIUI you can try other launcher and will see the difference
was using AWD an go on MIUI from some days really want to say never rebooted from then......
Also constantly getting RAM above 150 MB ....
AWD is preferred choice to get more while go with lots of customization option.
Also try V6 supercharger ....
What's the best Rom to save Ram
I'm on miui usually I have 70-110 ram free

Its not so much as you need a different rom as you should try stopping startup apps. I use autorun manger app and optimize toolbox. Download off the market and if you got root you can stop system apps like gmail and google maps from starting up when y0u arnt useing them. Optimize tool box has a task killer and a startup manager i disable everything in there except autorun manager. Autorun manager on the other hand i disable everythin except like android os and other important stuff like that. With the pro version if you have root you can stop the recivers which helps alot. Another app if you have root is fast reboot pro, which is another very good one to have. Try not to use widgets they take up ram as well. Using those meathods i manage to get my ram down to about 117 mb used, which is just over 200mb free. I hope this helps.
