I believe so yes

the ram clear memeory feature sorry like how the S4 had when you go into application manager

I guess end all is similar to ram clear but it's no other menus like on the note 3 or note 2 from my experience

Limit number of applications?

I was just wondering if there is a limit to the number of applications you can put on a gs1 ... Right now, i have reached 10 pages with touchwiz. The recent commercial offer doesn't help

The limit are the 2gb of memory you have for the apps.

Dunno. I would assume there's a limit on the number of apps, but it's probably ridiculously high.

Simple Contacts Widget

I really miss the Simple Contacts Widget from my Note 2. Is there an apk out there for this? I have a flashable zip, but of course it can't be flashed yet....

Actually my memory is bad. It's an apk but you can't install it. You have to place it in the system folder which will require root. I am on the fence about rooting. I paid full price for this phone., so warranty is important. I've always rooted in the past

So why would anybody else's apk work? Lol sorry just don't see much logic behind this post

you can use Android Pro Widgets to get contacts widget like HTC phones and its free.

Internal Storage Capacity

So I keep getting a message after downloading app that I only have like 1.17mb left of internal storage. I have Uninstalled large apps, yet still get it, is there something I need to look for in Root Explorer to delete as far as cache goes or is it just the amount of apps installed?
Nah. It's just a weird Play Store thing. I ignore it.

I switched to ART and it took a good while to upgrade android apps, but not sure I notice a huge difference.

I switched and then switched back after some apps not behaving well, this xda app included.

I switched but then Private Mode didn't work. So I switched back to Dalvik.

I switched to art and then switched back and during reboot my phone showed the custom with the unlocked padlock. I rebooted again and it was a normal reboot.

Same for me. Strange.

Me too. I find the custom boot interesting and wonder if it can't be exploited.

Same thing here...just checked...might be something. ...Devs take notice.

ditto on the unlocked padlock when switching to ART. usually this means the bootloader is now unlocked. at least on the nexus line of phones...hmm
art works fine for me, however this device just doesn't seem as responsive as my nexus 5. I'm actually a little disappointed in the day to day performance. it's almost like its too aggressive with the memory management making apps cold start more often.

When I used ART, the MLB At Bat app would crash when trying to stream a game. So back to Dalvik I went lol.

yea, a good chunk of apps won't run in ART mode. just search for articles on it. luckily I don't really use any of those apps, so ART on my nexus 5 and s5 are just fine

Same experience....switched to ART and it had 435+ apps to "upgrade" - took FOREVER, then didn't really notice any benefit...in fact, the responsiveness felt ever so slightly "stuck." Very quickly switched back to Dalvik, rebooted quickly, only had to upgrade about 250 apps, and the phone seemed snappier...could just be a placebo effect, but don't really see the point in the ART just yet....stickin' with Dalvik for now....
I switched to ART, phone is pretty fast as it is so visibly no noticeable difference, however utilizing a memory cleaning app/monitor it does use less of the system RAM in ART mode. Which seems like a good thing. I do have a couple of apps that occasionally crash in ART, but not enough to make it annoying yet. Just seeing how well it works, I do like the fact that it is using less system resources. Since there is not ROOT in the foreseeable future for ATT S 5's and I cannot get rid of bloatware, I will take what I can get.
I switched to ART.. Phone ran hot actually.. didn't seem any faster.. faster battery drian...switched back
Ok update. Started acting weird, apps were not functioning right, phone started having random lockup behavior. Switched back, all is good.

Betterbatterystats & other questions

So I have an older version of betterbatterystats (1.5 to be exact) but for some reason it won't run on my moto x. Anyone know why?
Anyone else having an issue with xda app and ads opening up in browser as soon as u open the app? I'm not clicking on them and they just open. Is there a bug in the app?

If your phone is rooted download battery history xxl which allows you to see how much battery consumption your apps use in the setting>battery
