Hi Guys & Gals,
I recently installed the stagefright fix to Build LMY48I (Android 5.1.1, Baseband MDM9625_104446.01.02.101R, Kernel 3.10.40-geec2459. I did it using Nexus root toolkit v2.0.5. Now when I use battery saving apps such as Battery Doctor / Advanced Task Killer Pro / Greenify they all seem to say Excellent / no apps running good memory (despite the memory getting fuller etc). It is definitely rooted and I have reinstalled apps etc and can see them accessing Super SU. It seems to be indicating all ok. When I use clean master it frees up a lot of RAM which Advanced Task killer pro reports has occurred. Basically, battery doctor seems to be having no effect even when using super optimize (it doesn't seem to be killing anything). Am I missing something?
Regards,
Mick

You are not missing something, you have to much memory management.
Lollipop has its own modern memory management and there is no need for optimizers/cleaners.
Just uninstall optimizers/cleaners.
For battery life you may use apps with a black background.
I've same probleme and i found this app.
Works with last ota update on nexus 5.

Please tell my which is best software that stops applications to run automatically at startup
tell me the application which works
no one is using any app. to stop unnecessary start up of tasks
try autostarts its very good

Ditto on Autostarts. Also, Autokiller Memory Optimzer works really well, it doesn't kill tasks itself, it tweaks the Android function thar does it to work better.
auto killer mem optimizer workd well for me.but now i simply don use any of those batt saving app,mem apps etc i jus kill apps in inbuilt task killer...iam using my phone to the peek cause at the end ill b getting a 2ghz dual core by selling sgs.......cant stick to old things lol........cheeerz

+1 Autostarts. It amazes me what runs on the phone after start-up, after you switch states or update apps. The perfect cure for batt draining nonsense

Google it. Android is Linux based. Its memory management is not the same as Windows. I'd explain further, but you're the 4,753,857,195 person to ask.
I spent 10s and googled it for you. Here's a quick link that explains it in simple terms.

Basically having applications in RAM is a GOOD thing. Constantly killing them is likely to WORSEN PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE.

That's right. On the other hand - permitting almost every app to load at startup isn't the best approach, as you will soon run out of memory - therefore using apps like autostart makes sense imho. But constantly killing everything isn't the right approach either. Android removes "old" apps automatically.
Bottom line:
- just letting those apps load at startup, which you use on regular basis, is fine
- using a "ram tweaker", auto-kill app, etc. is not
Kind regards,

And when you run out of memory, Android will free memory by automatically killing cached (unused) apps. Therefore, I don't see the point of stopping apps from running at start--unless they're actually doing something in the background and not letting your phone sleep.
RAM tweaks (or memory management), on the other hand, is the only thing I use. I adjust OOM settings to adjust which apps Android closes to free memory, as well as how much free RAM Android should keep open in various situations.

Well actually I don't see the point that an app, that I hardly use once per month should be loaded everytime I start the phone or change my internet connection. Also more apps at startup increase the time when the phone is available...
But on the other hand, you are certainly right, after a while, only the latest apps are still in background / memory. What I have recognized nevertheless: if you use a lot of apps with push functionality and load on startup, the phone runs out of memory...
Kind regards,

Hi,
i've started to noticed that my Tab P1000 is lagging quite badly. Open and closing of any apps takes about 1 second or so. i'm not sure what's wrong and don't know when it started. i then explore into memory usage and memory booster app is telling me that free memory is only about 34%. The number of tasks running in the background is also quite huge (24 at a time).
Is the memory usage normal? i've tried to delete any un-used apps but it doesn't seem to help. Are there any ways i can improve the memory and the overall performance?
i'm running custom rom (overcome) kernal 2.6.35.7 overcome v3.3.1.
Any advice will be appreciated.
I had this, I cleared all of the app cache files and seems a lot better now.

you can try to wipe app cache, then use autoruns to disable all rubbish. and use overclock
I use taskxp from market, not just because its a task killer, but because it allows you to switch easily between open tasks, very helpful if you are running more tasks than holding home key menu will show (which is only 8 last accessed tasks)... anyway as a task killer it is very stable and customizable, I never have a lag or a unwanted task running in background (most games I notice will run in background even when you don't open them and I just kill them and free up my memory
SGT+CM7=AWESOMENESS!!!
This Taskxp thingy seems very handy! Thanks

After flashing a rom onto my LG P990 it works flawlessly-everything is nuttery smooth, fast and reliable but after some uptime and few days of using it suddenly starts to lag. It really pisses me off since P990 is quite powerfull when it comes to specs but my friends Galaxy S somehow maintains it's performance.
So the question is how to make sure that my phone will not reduce it's performance so drastically over time?
I'm runnig latest Temasek's KANG and ETaNa's latest beta kernel with 1,4GHz OC.
Do you have alot of apps installed?
Try to see how much RAM usage you have on boot and after it starts to drop performance.
Yeah I read somewhere that there is a memory leak problem with the o2x...restart your phone once in 3 days..things should be fine
Rebooting doesn't help. If it did I would assume that it's simply because an app/apps is causing the drop and then I would try to find it. I do have a lot of apps on my phone but most of them shouldn't be running by themselves in the backgroud (mostly games and such).
I have same problem (on ICS ROMs). After flash, everything is fast, after few days....I have to wait for call for 30 sec....horrible...
I have noticed that problem witch made me a flashaholic .. you could begin with deleting facebook app, messenger and google plus (drainers) then dl rom manager and set in on hard gaming , worked ok for me

Also I have a major USB issue. Almost always after turning off storage mode the phone just hangs and I have to remove the battery to restart it. Sometimes it even reboots by itself while transfering files.
Memory leak... If this problem annoys you flash a stock froyo rom or cm based rom..
Have been using CM7 for probably 12 months, but the performance in the last few weeks seems to have got much worse....
i think it could be a baseband issue...I am ...during the verification of the existing problem ...
Since rebooting and installing the tweakaio.zip with lagfree patch for my kernel everything seems better. Not freshly-flashed good but much better.
I don't have any problems with my O2X. It runs buttery-smooth even after two weeks without rebooting. However, the internal IO does get pretty slow after a while. It's nothing too dramatic though.
Heres my recommendation;
Latest Temasek ROM & Kernel
Use the built-in ramhack (this really helps alot!)
Using TitaniumBackup, freeze un-needed apps or uninstall them (be careful with this, make backups. This is mainly meant for system apps that you don't need, i.e. Car Home so they won't fill up your RAM unnecessarily)
Using Autorun Manager just prevent most apps from auto-starting themselves.
Optional; let a task manager kill apps for you periodically. I always read that it's not good to use task managers but I never seem to have any problems with them. I've got 200MB RAM free all the time, even after several days of usage. To prevent killing specific apps just add them to the ignore list of your task manager.
You could also use the lagfree + dalvik cache fix by tonyp and adjust the LMK values.
This setup is working perfectly fine for me, just try it out yourself.
Edit: I also have to note that I don't have many apps installed. Just the things that I really need such as AlarmDroid, the XDA Premium App (!), PimpMyCpu, etc.

I never listen to music on my phone so I can't help you out with that. Try a different kernel?
What's your opinions on these? I use Android Assistant (18 Features) to clear out some apps that don't need to be running and "boost" my system.... But I was told all that does is cause instability, and battery life to depleted faster.
I also use it to monitor my battery life and what is using the battery and how much of it.
Android already does that itself (kills extraneous apps when you need more RAM and tells you what's using what amount of battery). If you're rooted you can delete anything that you don't want on your phone and task killers do indeed just use up even more battery than would be used otherwise since the apps that it's killing are just continually being restarted.

Fair enough. Yes, I am rooted.. Running Wajee's de-sensed ICS CRT-OFF (Whatever that means) and have deleted pretty much anything I don't... Or won't use. What app would you recommend to monitor battery, battery usage, ram usage, etc?

Do you really need something to monitor it more then stock does? Settings/Battery (or power) let's you know your current percen as well as some main apps eating your battery...and settings/apps-running displays the amount of ram being used out of the total on the bottom
What more then that do you need for monitoring? Anything extra is just eating more battery by running on the background and doing something the system already does...and if you want to kill am app you can go under settings/apps locate the app in any of the tabs tap it for more info and click force stop...built in task killer

Sorry, I forgot that Android has that built-in. What about apps to clean Cache / etc? I use SD Maid Pro currently. Seems to be the best.
And another thing.. How can I kill certain apps from opening on start up? Like... For instance, Dolphin browser, PowerAMP, etc.
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.

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
