Is your friend running stock ROM?

Go to Settings > SD card and Storage and see what it says for free internal memory. I remember getting that message when mine was under 15 MB. I had too many apps on internal memory. I switched to a ROM that had apps2sd and now I have 100+ MB Free.

Sweet! His phone isn't rooted yet but I'm good with knowing how to root phones. What ROM has that apps2sd app thou? I have a samsung fascinate soo I don't know much about the hero lol. And its a stock ROM rom btw
1sT GeAr, U MaD??

Almost all ROMs now have apps2sd integrated.
If your friend wants to stay "stock" with the Sense UI, anything by nfinitefx45 is quality. He just released a ROM based on the newest Sprint release this morning! Check it out

If you want something completely new, froyo AOSP, check out CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1.. it's perfectly stable.

With both you'll get a lot more internal memory than stock ROM. If you still want A2SD, it's built in nfinitefx45's, and if you want it for CM6 then just run the easy froyo a2sdext in my signature. Just partition the SD card to ext2 and then upgrade from ext2 to ext3 before installing nfinitefx and it will work automatically. If using with CM6, partition anytime before running the script.

Exactly right, or for no sense but more speed, try CM 6.1.0

Or try AOSP!

That works too

low memory
Low memory can slow down the phone... lag the hell out of it if there is no room for "working" memory. You won't be able to view photos or listen to musice if you have too much on your phone. Been there done that flashed on cm6 no problems since.

Which X8 tweaks are worth effort?

Hello!
Im currently running GDX v28b with alfs v8a kernel. I didn't make any big tweaks so far, only overlocking and SuperCharger.
Is making ext3/4 and swap partitons on microsd worthy? Can i really make my X8 faster thanks to this? I heard swap can shorter microsd life-span. I have 16gb 6-class microsd card. How much can it shorten it's life-span?
What are other tweaks i can do to make my x8 faster?
Thanks for the answers!

yes, i uninstalled the unused apps too. i'm just wandering how could i do more . thanks for your help and i'm waiting for more opinions

Actually the ROM you are using is pretty much tweak for performance and I guess adding more that your not certain of might cause problem to its performance. Btw do you play on your phone a lot?

No, i don't play a lot, but sometimes when i have to quit one app and load another one the phone is very laggy. That's why i thought about applying some more tweaks to the phone .

Thats normal because of our device low memory. You can try Ram Manager.

btw supercharger is tweaks too,so many tweak include there are 3g turbo charger,kickass kernelizer,flush engine,etc...
but if you need more tweak you can try "jimdem droid"...its easy to installing

i heard that i shouldn't use Ram Manager with supercharger script. Nevertheless i used Ram Manager once, but for me the phone was just... slower. now im trying to make a swap and ext3 partitions, but i can't make it. maybe someone could help me? CLICK

How to speed up jelly bean performance?

Hi there, I have question how you guys speed up your jelly bean performance on ace?
Maybe u will tell something new for me
For example I:
* Use memory managment - zRam to max, allow purging of assets ON, kernel samepage merging ON
* Limit background processes to 2-3 (in dev options, unfortunately after every reboot that needs re-apply)
* After reboot I try to force stop every non-system app, whats running
(using task manager to see whats running)
* Using only one widget

And at this moment my task killer shows 140mb free on CM10.1 (bieltv.3, RC2 release)

Maybe you should flash Adrenaline Engine and install Seeder + Greenfy to keep ram usage to low level. The first two things I mentioned works very well on stock GB and make the phone really fast. Also you can use CAREFULLY Pimp my rom to apply mods to speed up more the rom. Be aware that you can't do that much because the phone is very not powerful and the rom is not optimized at 100% so above some level of smoothness you can't go. P.S. You can also use a swap partition or the kernel patcher Memod+Swapall.
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830

Pushing free mem into 50 or 75MB, smartassV2 or smartassH3 + sio, Greenify, replacing Launcher2 with the launcher from XperiaZ.

For swap I use Swapper 2 from Google Play.

Is it best of kind? and how good is performance?

I am sorry. I did not see your post.
Do you mean Swapper 2?
It is just an interface. You need a kernel which supports swap (like the one of the Cm 10.1 builds or erikcas' AOKP ROM). The performance depends on the kernel. The app just invokes busybox commands.
There are few apps that manage swap. If you want a simple one for swap files, use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper
If you want it to have more features and/or support a swap partition (which is faster and better as it is mounted even if the phone is connected to a PC). The biggest advantage besides that is its feature to clean the swap partition when it gets full. If the app does not (like the first one), it will be lagging like hell.
So I recommend Swapper 2. :good:
However, make sure that you have a class 10 SD card. Other classes will slow down the phone. And the life of the card will be decreased due to the many read and write actions.

You can transform you rom on a Bareboned Rom to make it as fast as possible, e.i. deleting all useless apps!! instead of using apps to freeze others as Greenify, TB, AndroidTaskers... that of course is runnig in background, so the best way to stop all background processes is removing the app that produce these processes xDDD

Yes, probably one of the best methods. However, you will have to do that again for every new release.

JB is already faster than GB.
Thats enough for ace.

[Q] How to Remove Bloatwares

Guys I'm new to android world with my galaxy s advance. The phone has about 768 mb RAM. but only about 550 is allotted to use. Out of which about 350 is always used by bloatwares. well I want to achieve this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../9/9/3/8/7/Screenshot_2013-03-12-18-45-30.jpg
I know this is a custom ROM. but is there any way to get 630mb ram in use. And if it include removing bloatwares, Without flashing a custom Rom i would like to know how to do that. Thanks.

That increase in ram occurred for some people when they upgraded to jb..But it doesn't really make a difference to be honest.. removing bloatware would help though... For that you will have to root your phone and install an app Like Titanium backup Or Root uninstaller..
This should help in deciding which apps to remove.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200954

630 MB ram can be achieved only by using custom kernel on JB firmware. Stock JB firmware gives you 625 MB RAM. For removing bloatwares look at the thread by Darkness & Hope (Debloating Noob Guide or something like that)

The simplest way would be to use NoBloat Free app (from Google Play)
But you must be rooted by the way..... And be sure to not remove any system apps as then you have a chance to make your phone unstable or may even soft brick it!

Upgrading 2.3.4. To Jellybean ?

Trying to find the specifics is proving difficult.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I have reaf seversl posts yhat make it sound like just flashing a jellybean rom wil do this. I know better than that but cannot find the definite answer. Will the cappy even handle jellybean? If not then what is the best possible set up as far as android version for rom choices and stability?

Quickie guide to installing ROMs.
1. Grab the desired ROM of choice. Cyanogenmod 10/Slimbean is a good start
2. Get the gapps for the ROM. http://goo.im/gapps/.
3. Get cyanogenmod7 from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=captivatemtd
4. Get CWM here: http://www.semaphore.gr/kernels/Semaphore_2.5.0c.tar
5. Heimdall here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/. You don't need to install anything extra with 1.3.1
6. Copy the gapps, CM7 and your ROM of choice into the internal AND external SD card. Some rom comes with a kernel that don't play nice with either SD card, so both is better.
Install
7. Extract Heimdall, go into the driver folder, open Zadig.exe
8. Pull the battery of the phone, put it back in. Hold Volume Up + Volume Down and plug in the USB cable
9. Once Windows detect your phone, click on option -> List all device. Look for Gadget Serial Control, Samsung Composite Device or similar. If it look like your mouse/keyboard/webcam/other internal component, don't touch it. Click on Replace Driver, and wait for it to install.
10. Go back into the heimdall folder, hold shift, right click the folder and select open command prompt here.
11. Using 7zip/WinRAR, copy the content of the Semaphore_2.5.0c.tar file to the heimdall folder.
12. On the Command prompt, type:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage
13. Once your phone reboots, it should bootloop. No problem. Pull the battery, put it back in, hold volume up + volume down and press power until it turns on. You may need to do this a few time. It should boot into recovery mode.
14. Select install zip file from SD card -> Choose from Sd card -> the Cyanogenmod 7 file. Confirm with yes
15. It should reboot automatically, and bootloop. Do the pull battery trick from 13 to get back into recovery mode. Do 14 again. This time it shouldn't bootloop.
16. Go back to the main menu - Wipe Data/Factory Reset -> Reboot
17. Wait for it to boot.
18. Go back into recovery mode, and Wipe data/factory reset again. Install the ROM of your choice, along with the gapps. Newer ROM should ask you to flash it again to confirm. Do it.
19. Reboot
20. Enjoy
As for the GB vs ICS vs JB issue:
GB gives you the best performance. You don't have to loose your 3D performance to compensate for RAM. ICS is the best of both world. Slim ICS run (almost) as fast as GB, have the smexy Holo UI without compromising your 3D performance. JB give you the most features, but you'll have to give up your VRAM + 720p Video Recording/Playing(Devil kernel can give you back enough for 720p, but you still loose the VRAM).

ICS is actually not recommended around here due to the EU bug. It happened on so many devices so it really comes down to GB vs JB. JB has way more features while GB is a retro/stable OS.

Actually, JB have the bug as well(see the last 10 pages of the thread, 2-3 reports). At least IMO, the reason there are little reports for JB is:
1. Its been nearly 3 years, most people got a new phone through contract
2. The hardcore modders already got the EU bug, and thus is using JB
3. The remaining population stick with GB to prevent it from happening altogether\
The most likely cause for the bug is something in ICS/JB along with the age of our hardware.

BigMem = Taking from your VRAM. Less VRAM - Worse 3D performance. You can take less and still have 720p, but your 3D performance will suffer in comparison. Same as with the old 10mb hack for the Dream'/Sapphire.

Not exactly true. 3D performance is a function of graphics chip rendering speed and drivers optimization. Less RAM affects only the ability to store data. You may see some reduced performance in heavy 3D graphics, but Captivate with it's single core CPU is not a gaming device anyway. For general use there is no difference in performance. Android UI does not use 3D rendering by default.
