hi.i have the same kind of that problem in the same rom but my RAM not go to 0!!! i get sometimes 400mb free RAM space. but i use app called ZDBOX root task killer its useful and the best part its FREE go her and get it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zdworks.android.toolbox
the best way to use is: install the app > go to your launcher > hold empty place > add ZDBOX TASK KILLER widget > click on the widget NOT KILL ALL BUTTON!!! > click on gear button (settings) > turn off KILL ALL WHEN SCREEN LOCK and turn on DISPLAY SYSTEM PROGRAM > click on back button > uncheck CRASHMONITORSYSTEM SERVICE and XPERIA HOME and OVERHEAT CONTROL and select all other system apps > click on KILL SELECTED button NOTE: the app will freeze for 15 seconds when you click kill all button BUT DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING WHEN THE APP FREEZE BECAUSE THATS NORMAL
you will get up to 1.20GB free ram space:good:
hope that helped you because thats helped me

but you can see in the task killers or other apps what's using much RAM grant the root ACCESS to the app so you can see the system apps using RAM . and i always see the system apps usin RAM more than user apps

well my i was using Clean master and smart ram booster..!! so when my RAM went to 0, I went to settings and apps and runing apps...all the apps were running with 0.0MB something..it means it's force closing the app? or what i dont understand..!! well i really doubt that it's something related to my apps or what..!!

I installed clean master app now and i dont see that app showing ALL SYSTEM APPS!!! So please use ZDBOX!!! And you will see all system apps ITS FREEE!!!! But dont worry that will not eat your phone!! And grant root access and do what i told you before and dont kill app called CRASH MONITOR SYSTEM SERVICE or that will turn off your phone automaticly

I have the same problem.
maybe some guys just didn't understand what we tried to explain.
I list how to simulate the problem in my phone(android 4.3 101 version):
1.restart the phone,and I got 400MB free RAM;
2.normally use my phone in about half a day, open dictionary/web/twitter/facebook/news app etc.
3.I got 0 free RAM. no matter I clean background apps or not, all background apps were force closed. and some apps that have services restart itself spontaneously, keep free RAM to 0MB.
4.at this point, every time I get back to the launcher, the launcher need to reload. and my phone is kind of overheat and laggy.
I don't know the way to monitor what exactly eats free RAM(all apps has been closed,and I don't get any free RAM).

Launcher pro plus restarts after i done playing games !!!

Why does my launcher pro plus v0.8.3 often restarts after i done playing a game ???? It happened lately after i moved some apps into my sd card...it really annoys me when i want to change to another game, making me wait for the apps to load...and adding to the ignorance is the apps in the sd card will take about a minute or 2 to finish loading...Any ideas to how to solve this problem ??? Your help is highly appreciated !!!!
Model : Sgs I9000
Rom : Darky v9.5
Kernel : Speedmod k13d
It's not so much of a problem, as it is a feature, of Android itself. It's called Memory Management! And if your game is using a lot of RAM, it is bound to terminate some background applications, in this case, your third party launcher. It might help though, if your launcher app is NOT on sdcard. Also, ensure it is the primary launcher. Beyond that, we can't really mod our phone for more RAM But we can give CM7 a shot...

On ADW launcher u have the ability to keep it running all the time. Just by turning on the option System Persistent under General Behavior-->System Settings that would avoid the launcher from closing
Try that one

It's not about how many apps you have installed. It's more about how many apps are actively running background services...

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

True functional app autokiller

Hi all!
My question sound's like this...is there any app (payd or not) which definetlly do his work? I mean, when you tick the app which you want to kill for a defined period of time, the app truelly kill that app pour a la long free memory espace. Get it?
The ideea is that when you want to make an app never be active, this app which I want to know, to help you.
Lets take an exemple : the "Phone" app. It remains in phone memory ram and consumes it, and I can't get rid of it.
Hope somebody understands what I have written

The important apps will reappear no matter how many times you kill them.
And talking about the task killers, android has its own task management system and it is advisable not to use the task killer apps..

Ok then, but is it normal to have on jb less than 70 free memory?! :|

'Free' memory is wasted memory. It's part of Linux memory management. You should only worry if apps go slow or something.

I use App Quarantine to lock/freeze apps I dont use often, if I want to use the app I locked just unlock it from the list just easy & simple in use. This is the app u was searching for . It really does the job. Check playstore its free
I kinda face same problem for example my WIFI is off and my 3G is also off I am not using what's app, viber, facebook at that moment but still I see these apps on background and they are consuming my phone's ram. I stopped them and somehow they comeback again.

[Q] Stock Browser sometimes closed

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

Best Data Management tool ?

hello xda members, i would like to know which is best data management tool available for android xperia z, actually hell lot of data is getting used don't know how, i guess its some system app which is using it, is there is anything available paid or free which can restrict data usage to some limited apps which i want ? & monitoring which particular app is taking how much data ?
thnks, waiting for the reply
Data usage under Settings menu should do the tricks.
I tend to trust OS built-in monitor, rather than a sluggish app or soever...

to stop data use from app just go to "data usage" in settings then select an app that used data then scroll down little you will find a box. Just tick it. If you want to do it for app the apps go again to data usage then press the 3 dots menu botton then you will find restrict background data. Tick it.
