RAM and background apps/gaming - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would a ROM with more ram available run large 3D games better, than a fully loaded Sammy ROM?
Does more free Ram allow more applications to run in the background ?
Or does the ROM make no difference to how Android runs?

more ram= more apps running in the background
now for 3d games, if your phone already had enough space of free ram for the game, i dont see how more ram will will make the game faster, as your the game already had what it needs from ram, but of curse, having more ram will allow you to run more apps in the background such as music apps or myabe downloading files while playing etc...
hope this helped

[Q] Dungeon Defenders performance

Dear Developers,
I am not much into mobile gaming, but I wanted to play a bit with Dungeon Defenders. I've installed the game, downloaded the content form the developers site, installed the game on the internal SD.
Unfortunately, the performance of the game is much lower than I expected on a TEGRA dual core device. The FPS is low, down to unplayable with multiple units at the dungeon.
Is there any solution for that? I have stock ROM, stock applications plus a few utilities (JuceDefender etc.) installed plus maybe 6 widgets.
Changing ROM is not an option for me as it voids warranty with my damn Polish LG branch :/
Help is very appreciated
Check if there are multiple other games running in the background like the pre instaled Shrek Karting and Spiderman games.
Kill the tasks or reboot and try again. I never played Dungeon Defenders much, but for the time I played it on the stock ROM it was absolutely smooth.

End all tasks using your task manager and then launch the game again, if for some reason the performance doesnt improve much then lower the video enhancement in the settings and that should make it run very smothly.
Overclocking to play this game helps alot too but it causes it to get hot like above 43c which isnt good.
Yes, the performance of this particular game on the O2X is embarrassing when you get to bigger maps such as the Ramparts. If you aren't playing it online, turning on flight mode will help a bit.

GN browser issue

Hi All,
was if others are experiencing the same issue i am having?
when i am using the stock internet browser on the GN, (having couple of tabs opened).
i open another app or do something on the phone eg, listening to music or some using other apps,
then I go back to the browser again but this time the browser is closed, none of the tabs are there, feels like the browser restarted.
It keeps happening to me and i cant figure out the cause of it.
does anyone has similar or the same issue i am experiencing?
thanks

what apps are you swapping between?
the galaxy note may have 1gb of ram, but it doesnt keep a lot of it free. mine normally has something like 350mb free with the widgets i use. when i run my browser with 3-4 pages with a lot of pics, it uses up about 150-200mb of ram. if i then run a game like shadowgun or dungeon defenders, it will use up a lot of ram as well. to keep the system from running out of ram, gingerbread will shut off any background apps using a lot of ram, in this case, the browser. hence you'll lose your tabs because the browser will restart when you reopen it.
i havent had any issues with it crashing when listening to music though. my poweramp only uses like 20mb ram. ive only really had it happen when im gaming and browsing.
the only solutions are to minimise desktop widgets to maximise free ram, and possibly swap launchers to one that will use ram more efficiently. auto task killers are useless since they send most apps into reboot loops which will drain the battery, but if your device is rooted, you can always use titanium backup to freeze apps and processes you never use (ie. weather widget).

[Q] minicm7 + supercharger game mode

I'm wondering if how i can set my phone to "game mode".
I observed that when I upgraded from 2.1.6 to 2.1.9 then to 2.2.0, there is caching of program. the caching is not done (I think) in 2.1.6 or lower versions. And does supercharger has something to do with this?
I think caching has something to do with processor performance for games, and it makes games somewhat choppy. What I want to do, is when I start a game, all support and background checking/ precaching services for other apps (even for messaging) is disabled so that the game will have most of the resources. It would be even better if i can set this for individual apps so that only cpu/gpou intensive games will do this. Now, is there anyway to do this?
naahh...there is no such settings for now

Because the IPhone doesn't have real multitask. The IOS basically freeze the background application (except a few like music player).
Android doesn't. Android has real multitask.

Good answer :thumbup:
but is it really I mean we have ndrive for example when you press home button it still track you in the navigation and give you instructions Iphone doesn't have this option??!!!!
also how many space should I have in my internal memory to have fast phone or all depend on free ram?!!
if it was on the ram so which apps takes a lot of ram (in general)??!
thnx all
I have noticed something paradox. In suppressed rom (v6 & V7) i had only 4-5 apps running in back ground and around 170-230 mb rom free.
In marvel 9, i have 9-10 apps running in back, n 210-270 mb ram free and it runs more smoothly then suppressed. No I am no one to criticise any ones hard work..but it is just my personal observation.

Runing Real Racing 3

I decided to get the dust out of my milestone just to use it as my portable console, I used to play n64 there, and some psx games, now I upgraded to 4.1, and real racing just won't start, I tought it was a ram capability issue, so I downgraded to 4.0.4, now I'm at the lowest point the game is available 2.3.x and it won't start; the game will download every file the first time I install it, then It starts playing music and stops, the app crash.
any ideas on why is happening?

any way to improving ram up to at least 200 more mb? or make the system?
No way.
Milestone 1 only has 226MB of RAM available.
