my xperia x8 just have 20mb max ram
Uninstall unused apps and freeze unused system apps.
And remember! Do NOT use task-killers.
EDIT: Doixanh said to reboot after using WiFi or listening to music. That always frees a lot memory on my phone.
Use Supercharger V6 or Juwe´s RAM-script.
That should help.
Try android optimizer app.

Now i wonder why i shouldn't use task killers? Been using ATK and Android Assistant and haven't noticed any problems. Well, i do use them concervatively and don't kill any system processes, lol.
Using X8 with GingerDX 013, usually have between 40 and 60 MB free. The trick is to kill the task killer along with the other unnecessary processes

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
Please tell my which is best software that stops applications to run automatically at startup
tell me the application which works
no one is using any app. to stop unnecessary start up of tasks
try autostarts its very good

Ditto on Autostarts. Also, Autokiller Memory Optimzer works really well, it doesn't kill tasks itself, it tweaks the Android function thar does it to work better.
auto killer mem optimizer workd well for me.but now i simply don use any of those batt saving app,mem apps etc i jus kill apps in inbuilt task killer...iam using my phone to the peek cause at the end ill b getting a 2ghz dual core by selling sgs.......cant stick to old things lol........cheeerz

+1 Autostarts. It amazes me what runs on the phone after start-up, after you switch states or update apps. The perfect cure for batt draining nonsense

Google it. Android is Linux based. Its memory management is not the same as Windows. I'd explain further, but you're the 4,753,857,195 person to ask.
I spent 10s and googled it for you. Here's a quick link that explains it in simple terms.
http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Basically having applications in RAM is a GOOD thing. Constantly killing them is likely to WORSEN PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE.

That's right. On the other hand - permitting almost every app to load at startup isn't the best approach, as you will soon run out of memory - therefore using apps like autostart makes sense imho. But constantly killing everything isn't the right approach either. Android removes "old" apps automatically.
Bottom line:
- just letting those apps load at startup, which you use on regular basis, is fine
- using a "ram tweaker", auto-kill app, etc. is not
Kind regards,

And when you run out of memory, Android will free memory by automatically killing cached (unused) apps. Therefore, I don't see the point of stopping apps from running at start--unless they're actually doing something in the background and not letting your phone sleep.
RAM tweaks (or memory management), on the other hand, is the only thing I use. I adjust OOM settings to adjust which apps Android closes to free memory, as well as how much free RAM Android should keep open in various situations.

Well actually I don't see the point that an app, that I hardly use once per month should be loaded everytime I start the phone or change my internet connection. Also more apps at startup increase the time when the phone is available...
But on the other hand, you are certainly right, after a while, only the latest apps are still in background / memory. What I have recognized nevertheless: if you use a lot of apps with push functionality and load on startup, the phone runs out of memory...

According to Juicedefender battery saver-Autotask killer bad for our battery & which cause more battery draining.they directely said that avoid auto task kill.Is it true?
share your thoughts on that i,e sentence.
sent from sgm 5570
It really depend on how u use ur phone. If u kill task that u do not yse fir a long time it actually save ur battery on the ither hand if u kill an app amd then run it again it will drain mire battery. Also dont kill system app they will just start right up which lead to battery drain. I personnaly use advanced task killer and set ignore the app u often use, dusable autokiller and set security level to low to avoid killing system. But it just a matter of opinion really so just decude for ur self.

yes, it's better to kill app's manual
I also using two different task killer, but never set them to auto.. just like other opinion, it's true iff we continuously set the app to kill system or app we recently use, it might be drained our battery more effectively.. theoritycally it's just like you do the same task all over again in the same day.. wouldn't it gave you more exhausted than you do it only one time and manage to do it the other day..?

Here, i give you a reason why autotask killer is battery draining.
#1. Android kills app every 15 minutes when phone is almost out of memory, Android drastically pushes old app process and kill them so currently running app can be running. AutoTask Killer kill app foreground & underground apps process, underground apps generated by app itself, and generating underground app is use some battery & CPU cycle. Android kill app only it's FOREGROUND apps which still save alot battery rather than generate another Underground app which eats battery & CPU cycle.
#2. AutoTask killer kills system app. System app generates more cache & underground process than user apps, since system app always runned by Android for some reason (at JB 4.2.1 it's managed more extensively). Just like reason number 1, underground & cache generating in Android consumes ALOT of battery.
#3. Task killing consumes CPU Cycle, CPU will need to get it's higher hertz to keep speed, higher the CPU, more battery killed
#4. Task killing MAY free RAM, until Android generate another cache which eats up X2 RAM than old cache, since new cache refreshed and need to be intergrated with apps. More RAM, no More Multitasking !
#5. AutoTask Killer make apps process blocked, which slow-down apps, since app cache is deleted. To make the app keep smooth, CPU is set to it's higher hertz, just like reason number 3, higher CPU, more battery killed.

so a ram manager app or a script for ram is better?
Actually it depends on how you use. I use Advanced Task Killer pro to kill apps after a session and to monitor which apps open by itself and run in background. Those apps are the ones I freeze in titanium backup pro. Some of them are Google Maps, Facebook (I use it rarely, FB app sucks)
Dont use the scheduled auto kill option, that will drain the battery.

A little Tip
Our mini can't handle a task killer. I suggest you to not use any of them.
If you want to kill an app, use the "long press back to kill" option in cyanogenmod.
I noticed that some applications keep running on background despite how many times i kill them. Worst is the Facebook that with Facebook Messenger and Facebook camera take a lot of ram or some games that keep auto-running. Is there any way to stop it?
I freeze this application and unfreeze them when i want to use them but isn't there a way to make this easier since our device gets pretty slow when a lot of ram is reserved. Would a RamHack help? I've read that auto-kill application aren't a very good idea. I am using etana kernel and have as LMK Mode str, should i change it to aggr or extr? What would be the loss and what the gain?
Jus leave it... these apps r persistent.
Killing it will only restart again.
Dun use any killapps, it may lead to bsod
Ramhack 32 or Max 48 to keep all function working.

I wiped my Note the other day and installed the XXLSA Jellybean leak on it, and noticed even before installing any apps, my RAM usage hovers at
around 600MB. After installing my apps and using the task killer to kill background processes, I'm still at around 650MB. Is this normal?
Is there a list or something floating around of apps and services safe to freeze using Titanium? I know the saying around here is free RAM is wasted RAM, but I'd actually like to assign more RAM to Limbo PC Emulator.
Somewhere in the forum is exactly such a list. I just almost have any clue where.
Maybe you can find it in Dr.Ketans Toolbox Thread or a Sticky or a Search with "safe to remove" as term.

Uninstall the bloatware (list of apps that can be removed), then use Autorun Manager (or similar app) to stop the processes starting during boot.
