I am running my xperia V on stock Rooted . 210, locked bootloader
I removed alot of bloatware and extentions and I have 300 Mb free ram
With only few installed apk's
But the multitasking is very weak, for instance, some times when I am writing on messenger the keyboard close, and restarts, also launcher alot of times restarts,
I have greenify and I hibernate all apps such as Facebook and other apps
But it is coming very disturbing when the keyboard restarts
What sould I do?

Am I the only one who feels that stock roms (30A and 30B) are not that optimized for our phones? I'm using 30B for now, and it's slow as hell..i have 3 or 4 seconds delay on simple tasks, like opening my gmail app, phone app etc. I'm on stock, my phone has root. Before, i used 30A with a custom kernel, OC to 1200, and i had same results. Is it just me?
try closing the background apps. press the home button then manage apps.
usually the main memory eaters are
googleplay services ,
googleplay store,
youtube,
google maps
close them like this and unless you start a program yourself they won`t autostart. except the above -_-
another thing that can also affect the speed is the sdcard. you should reformat it from time to time. it`s similar to fragmentation on windows
I got my Xperia Z1 about a month ago, and I've noticed some issues with RAM management (or possibly under-optimized third-party apps). Although I haven't had much luck in replicating the problem, I noticed it happen a few times after a Firefox internet session, or after playing a graphically intensive game like Dead Trigger 2. The app would either close by itself (not crash, as in, there were no error messages), or, after I'd close it, I'd notice my launcher (Nova Launcher Prime) go into a restart loop. A quick glance at the running apps section in settings shows 50-100 MB of free ram, and all "constantly running" apps (launcher, viber, zooper widget, k9-mail, swiftkey, tasker, etc.) stuck, for want of a better phrase, in a restarting loop (due to lack of ram I guess).
I tried running Fast Reboot (a task killer) to see if I could regain stability of the system, but it kills only a few system tasks, freeing up to a measly 50 MB of RAM, which makes me wonder (in aggravation) just where the RAM is being used. The only way the running apps would stop closing and restarting (and I need the launcher stable) is to reboot. I'm not sure if the system would stabilize after x minutes, as I only waited for a minute or two before rebooting so that I could open another app/game.
I'm not trying to start yet another debate on necessity of used RAM on Android and efficiency/futility of task managers/killers, but what I described above really seems like poor RAM management to me. I've had a few android devices in the past, and experienced various problems /errors, but never something like this.
Has anybody had a similar issue, or have any tips?
My Xperia Z1 C6903 is currently running on rooted stock 14.2.A.0.290
Although i dont get force closes, but ive noticed most of the ram is taken by the phone itself, right now for me it says i have 1.1gb in use, when i close everything i have just a slight (barely even noticeable) increase in free ram, when i click on cached processes and close all one by one ive seen it increases the ram use instead of decreasing it?
But, do you use apps like setcpu? You can keep it on performance and keep the min slider to the lowest and the max slider to max, it runs stable and gives you performance when you need it, and no performance when you dont need it.
If all fails, try deleting system apps that you barely even use or need... Becareful what you delete tho!

Thanks for the reply. No, I've used apps like that in the past, but haven't installed anything similar on the Z1, because I noticed in BetterBatteryStats that the CPU speed goes down often when the screen is off, and up when, I suppose, it's required, such as in intensive games...
What apps do you use? For example facebook, YouTube, browser etc
Ive checked again on my cached apps and to my surprise, AOSP browser takes up 208mb!
Facebook takes up 48mb, and youtube takes up 22mb.
It just depends on the apps you have installed, some use the ram even while the phone is asleep.
Ive stopped those and a huge difference was made on freeing up my ram!
What i dont get is tho why sony advertises 2.2ghz quadcore if the phone itself takes most of it?
Just delete the apps you dont need from "all apps".
Hi guys, i've tried several roms for our Xperia SP, but i've found that debloated Stock is the better for smoothness and velocity loading apps and other, but i've found this bug really annoying, the phone in multitasking closes apps that have to run in background for example maps during navigation or walkman after a call, this is really frustrating.
An example when it happen, when i use Maps with GPS navigation if i answer to a call when i go back to maps is closed and it start to reload, so it lost the route and i have to set it back, this **** happens in other intense multitasking occasions...
Someone know if there is a fix for that?
Maybe in background processes settings?
I was using cm12.1, tried asphalt 8 and it force closes even on medium graphics, I changed to stock .207 and game force closes on high graphics, even with greenify hibernating alot of apps, the only way is reboot every time before start the game.
Already tried OmniX kitkat, and it hangs well rebooting one time per day but it heats alot and can't play 60fps videos on youtube, I can't consider for daily drive.
Any tips for heavy gaming on our bugged device?
You can't.
Xperia SP's RAM is 1GB. And the device itself is marketed as midrange.
You won't try to run Crysis at high settings on a Pentium 2 with 256MB RAM, would you?

What? No need to sorry!
It's really a fact we need to accept. I could barely use keyboard in Clash of Clans and sometimes my SimCity game crashes!
And NFS No Limits, once you get your car doing great speeds, it will crash instantly
Quite a bummer, apart from the low RAM, this thing has a pack of a GPU and CPU power

Yes, sad thing, initially I bought this device thinking on games first, I could play nova 3 and games like this with no problem, but asphalt 8 and newer games broke my heart
I play Asphalt8. On some tracks it's the game has some freezes, but most of the time its playable.
I run AdrianDC's CM 12.1, debloated (froze many system apps), and a lot of apps greenified.
I typically have 400MB free RAM with no apps running.
can you tell me whats apps you greenified and frozen?
and this cm12.1 from adrian is the official or unnoficial?
you really frozen whatsapp and email apps too?
Frozen (via titanium backup) :
Calendar (I use aCalendar+)
CyanogenMod Setup Wizard
Android Setup Wizard
AOSP Keyboard (I use swiftkey)
cLock
CM Updater
com.android.SMSPush (don't know what this is, but I still get SMS and it was running 100% of the time as background app)
com.google.android.partnersetup
Cell Broadcast
Themes provider (I don't use them)
Deskclock
Soundrecorder
Music (Cyanogenmod's eleven)
FM Radio
CM bug report
Exchange Services
Print spooler
NFC Tags
CM Themes
Trebuchet (I use Nova Launcher and it was still running in the background)
Greenified : allmost everything but needed background apps. So it's easier to tell what's not greenified :
WhatsApp
Llama
OneFootball
Swiftkey
aCalendar+
Google
FolderMount
Kernel Adiutor
Waze

you greenified all system apps too?
I still ask, it's the official or unnoficial rom?

No, I use the free version of Greenify so no system apps are greenified. Those that I don't use are frozen, the other ones are just running. I installed micro Gapps package so there are not many system apps.
Oh, you remind me that I believe I moved some system apps to user apps so that I could Greenify them.
Probably Google Music and Google Maps.
I am running AdriandDC's unofficial from late february, currently updating to it's latest unofficial (03272016).

thanks, you was helpful
You're welcome.
After verification, I used the nano gapps package, not micro.
you think the official one will hang well as the adrian's one or the performance is clearly different?
In AdrianDC's there is ZRam enabled by default, and that makes all the difference for Asphalt8.
FC's in Asphalt are due to low memory, ZRam is a must.

i'm on adrian cm13 actually, you think I should turn to cm12.1 or just greenify and freeze all on cm13?
I can't tell you, I never tried CM13.
Users seem to be happy with it's performance, but I don't know if they are gaming on it.
You can use swap for increase your RaM and play heavy games

ZRam is swap. It's in RAM, but it's swap.
I have my phone for about 3 months (i think) and it was working perfectly. Smooth, without any problems. I was using it for some small games (CoC) and social media (Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook). Well, it WAS working perfectly. Everytime I was clearing RAM (closing apps) it was showing that about 800-950MB of RAM were free. Now, after updating to Android 7.0 it changed. It shows about 300-400MB of RAM is free (without any app opened). I am also lagging as hell (specially in Snapchat - it freezes almost completly). I was trying to clear it anyway possoble, uninstalling apps, using stock File Manager trying to optimize system. It didn't worked.... Does anyone has similar problem and/or has some solution? Thanks...
(My first post here, don't kill me if I made some mistake, and also don't judge my English. I am from Poland )
tbh, for me android i did opposite. more ram free and 5% increase in antutu score.

More free RAM doesn't mean more performance. It's a bad habit to clear your RAM. Apps that killed will just come back and more hungry for RAM. Continuously doing this will put strain in the CPU and thus, will drain more battery.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
I recommend uninstalling bloatware and keep minimal number of apps . This will save more ram and more juice . Dont use any task killers as they are themselves battery havvoks
