Hello fellow XSP users!
Every once a while my keyboards just disappears.poof! It happens when im using chrome to type in a url, and even in games having an in-game chat feature. Usually i just have to close and reopen chrome and the problem goes away for a while, but in games like clash of clans the keyboard pops up for an instant then disappears and reopening the app wont help. Any idea whats causing this? Could really your help thanks

The ram manager closes it to free some memory. Xsp has a bad ram management so it sometimes kills music or keyboard. I also has this problem on many roms.

Hi @pec0ra ,
Thanks for the speedy reply.
So are there are any good ram management apps or scripts that will solve this problem? Will using the v6supercharger script by zepplinrox help?
Editing the minfree values should theoretically make it better so supercharger will help. The best is still not to have to many apps or services running in background.
I never really used apps to manage memory so you should wait the answer of other people. They can probably recommend something.

Hi,
I seem to have an odd bug of my phone's free ram disappearing over several days (checked via system>apps>running processes). This is fixed when I reboot. On start up, I would have about 100mb free space, with some processes like launcher, whatsapp, swype (as the main memory eaters). After some time, this 100mb disappears down to 0, and I don't see any other new applications under the running tab or task killer apps. Even if I kill everything I won't have as much free ram as right after a reboot. This causes apps to often kill themselves (I assume from lack of ram), and is generally annoying.
Any ideas what might be the cause of this?
I'm using Slim ICS 3.8 and devil3 0.79. Thanks for any help!
Hey
Not sure why this is happening..but u can try a factory reset..or an update as slimics 4.2 is out...
Cheers
If my post helped, don't mind hitting the Thanks button..
Reflash the kernel. Should solve it. What kernel are you using specifically? Sorry, I can't see it on the xda app

Was on devil3 0.79, updated to 1.03.
I would like to avoid reflashing the rom since I find it's a hassle to reinstall all the apps
Will see if kernel flashing helps though, thanks!
Hey everyone
as we all know the ram of the x8 is so small :'(, and some apps like the ****y Facebook takes about 50 mb from the ram
I need an application that block apps from starting on their own
I found one for controling which app should start on boot but I need another to control them after that
thanks in advance
Ps :locked bootloader can't do swapping

Alternatively you can enjoy ur facebook through any good browser like one browser and manage ur ram with ram manager pro.
I do it that way.

Android Doesn’t Manage Processes Like Windows
Most Android users are familiar with Windows. On Windows, many programs running at one time – whether they’re windows on your desktop or applications in your system tray – can decrease your computer’s performance. Closing applications when you’re not using them can help speed up your Windows computer.
However, Android isn’t Windows and doesn’t manage processes like Windows does. Unlike on Windows, where there’s an obvious way to close applications, there’s no obvious way to “close” an Android application. This is by design and isn’t a problem. When you leave an Android app, going back to your home screen or switching to another app, the app stays “running” in the background. In most cases, the app will be paused in the background, taking up no CPU or network resources. Some apps will continue using CPU and network resources in the background, of course – for example, music players, file-downloading programs, or apps that sync in the background.
When you go back to an app you were recently using, Android “unpauses” that app and you resume where you left off. This is fast because the app is still stored in your RAM and ready to be used again.
Why Task Killers Are Bad
Proponents of task killers notice that Android is using a lot of RAM – in fact, Android stores a lot of apps in its memory, filling up the RAM! However, that isn’t a bad thing. Apps stored in your RAM can be quickly switched to without Android having to load them from its slower storage.
In summary, you shouldn’t use a task killer – if you have a misbehaving app wasting resources in the background, you should identify it and uninstall it. But don’t just remove apps from your phone or tablet’s RAM – that doesn’t help speed anything up.
Empty RAM is useless. Full RAM is RAM that is being put to good use for caching apps. If Android needs more memory, it will force-quit an app that you haven’t used in a while – this all happens automatically, without installing any task killers.
Task killers think they know better than Android. They run in the background, automatically quitting apps and removing them from Android’s memory. They may also allow you to force-quit apps on your own, but you shouldn’t have to do this.
Task killers aren’t just useless – they can reduce performance. If a task killer removes an app from your RAM and you open that app again, the app will be slower to load as Android is forced to load it from your device’s storage. This will also use more battery power than if you just left the app in your RAM in the first place. Some apps will automatically restart after the task killer quits them, using more CPU and battery resources.
Whether RAM is empty or full, it takes the same amount of battery power – decreasing the amount of apps stored in RAM won’t improve your battery power or offer more CPU cycles.
hope u understood!
words of wisdom by fellow-mates
go into settings - apps and see how many running apps you have. now go to cached apps and see there, how many apps there are. you see? nearly 50% of those apps discovered by you in the processes are apps that you didn't opened ever but they are still opened and running. why? because that's how linux manages its resources. instead of having free ram for no use (what's the point of having 14gb of ram when you only use 1gb), linux fills all the ram blocks with useful apps or apps that you are running frequently so that when you call that app, it will bring it on the screen almost instantly. this my friend, is called multitasking.
and no, you are wrong. if you use a task killer killing the apps every 10 minutes, the cycles the whole system does - opening again apps and caching them, task killer closing them - results in much more functions done by CPU => more battery spent. even if you say that the battery life its the same, you are wrong. when using a task killer IT MIGHT drain your battery with 0.1% per hour. it's not that much, but IT EXIST.
oh and yeah, one thing: android has its own task killer. that's why you don't need one app to kill your other apps. because android its doing it by itself. if you don't believe me, strip down one kernel, open the init.rc file and find the values for task killer.

I don't know if this is helpful or not but I'm trying to help you. I don't recommend you to use an application to block apps from starting on their own because it will ruin how Android managed it memory consumption. Since you've talked that Facebook app takes about 50MB of RAM I recommend you to use this instead of Facebook official app.
Hope I helped you.
Thanks man I got it now its bad to do such a thing

Hi guys,
my phone lags quite a bit and Im trying to speed it up.
However when I use the app killer to free up ram space and kill running apps, they just pop back up a few seconds later and do not stay closed. Does anyone know why and how to solve this?
Much appreciated
Download autostart manager and disable them to start automatically.

Overall jb performance seems good to me with lq4 and siri rc4. The only problem is the huge amount of lag in phone keypad, logs, messaging.
They are the main apps in a mobile phone according to me....!!! In an emergency they take 5-6 sec to load properly. I have tried every kernel and its the issue with each kernel.
I tried supercharging, locking an app in memory by writing some lines in build.prop but no help.
I get very upset that even micromax or any other phone have no lag in phone keypad or messages.
Any way to permanently lock these ***** apps to memory.?

It is not connected to kernels, speed of phone... It is sh***y dialer app I think.
I am testing this app, to see how it will act. So far so good.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer&hl=sr
Any more suggestions. And a good 3 party app for messages.
And one more question if i freeze the orignal phone app and message app can i use 3 party app?

dialerone is really really fast (but had to customize colors a bit )
currently using go sms lite, it's ok but not perfect so i'm listening proposals about this one
i'm using supercharger script to bulletproof gosms (set oom -17) but i think it's doing nothing... maybe something else has to be bulletproof also, maybe some content provider, i don't know... or i'm doing it wrong...
Dear Friends, I'm Currently running in Stock I9305XXBME1 rooted deodexed, i had problem with stock browser, sometimes it closes when I try to return for previous pages, is this normal? well could someone here can help my question. Many thanks
Definately not normal, I've had the browser open with a good few and very rare for them to reload.
You might have some memory hungry apps running in the background, get a task manager to monitor apps ram usage
