Hello,
I'm continuing to struggle with low available RAM with CM12.1.
Currently, I'm using Avast for antivirus/firewall with all the options
turned on. Avast can tap Google Play and Google Play Services for up to 100MB RAM.
I've got many apps hibernated with Greenify. All it takes is one large RAM app and
problems start (the app quits or Google Play Services stops). Does anyone
have any recommendations for a reliable, low-RAM antivirus and/or firewall?
Thanks

Hi All,
was if others are experiencing the same issue i am having?
when i am using the stock internet browser on the GN, (having couple of tabs opened).
i open another app or do something on the phone eg, listening to music or some using other apps,
then I go back to the browser again but this time the browser is closed, none of the tabs are there, feels like the browser restarted.
It keeps happening to me and i cant figure out the cause of it.
does anyone has similar or the same issue i am experiencing?
thanks

what apps are you swapping between?
the galaxy note may have 1gb of ram, but it doesnt keep a lot of it free. mine normally has something like 350mb free with the widgets i use. when i run my browser with 3-4 pages with a lot of pics, it uses up about 150-200mb of ram. if i then run a game like shadowgun or dungeon defenders, it will use up a lot of ram as well. to keep the system from running out of ram, gingerbread will shut off any background apps using a lot of ram, in this case, the browser. hence you'll lose your tabs because the browser will restart when you reopen it.
i havent had any issues with it crashing when listening to music though. my poweramp only uses like 20mb ram. ive only really had it happen when im gaming and browsing.
the only solutions are to minimise desktop widgets to maximise free ram, and possibly swap launchers to one that will use ram more efficiently. auto task killers are useless since they send most apps into reboot loops which will drain the battery, but if your device is rooted, you can always use titanium backup to freeze apps and processes you never use (ie. weather widget).

Hi
thank you for getting back so quick...

i've try reducing the amount of widget and see if that resolves the issue my browser being closed automatically...
thanks again..
I'm wondering if how i can set my phone to "game mode".
I observed that when I upgraded from 2.1.6 to 2.1.9 then to 2.2.0, there is caching of program. the caching is not done (I think) in 2.1.6 or lower versions. And does supercharger has something to do with this?
I think caching has something to do with processor performance for games, and it makes games somewhat choppy. What I want to do, is when I start a game, all support and background checking/ precaching services for other apps (even for messaging) is disabled so that the game will have most of the resources. It would be even better if i can set this for individual apps so that only cpu/gpou intensive games will do this. Now, is there anyway to do this?
naahh...there is no such settings for now

From my exp, 2.2.0 is build in great for gaming.Supercharge it not make it better even its has gaming mode.Btw there are some apps called RAM manager, try to set in Hard Gaming mode.Maybe its will boost a little(not 100% sure)
few days ago i've seen that Google Play Services app runs in background and eats a battery (not much, but still)... so i freezed it with Titanium...
some/they say that Google Play Services is required on the phone, but i don't see any change without it (Google Play works, apps can be updated via store, Gmail app works, etc...)
when i run the Youtube app - it shows a popup message that Play Services must be enabled > jumps to settings/apps/play services > i just closed that and Youtube is working without a problem...
so my question is - why it is needed at all?

With 4GB of ram it still can't keeps apps open in the background.
I do not have the issues that video illustrates. I can run Chrome, Fallout Shelter, Poweramp, Play Store, Trillian, Amazon App Store, 1Weather, Google Plus, Whisper, Gmail, Battery Widget Reborn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Z Launcher, the stock launcher, a number of settings windows, and plenty more, and not have any of them need to reload when switching between them (which is good, because Fallout Shelter is up to 500megs of RAM usage...). With all of that running, I still have 1.1gigs of free RAM (333megs inn reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes).

That's good to know. I will have to do my own testing it seems. What carrier do you have?

VZW.
I did end up having to reload Fallout Shelter this afternoon, but, that was after running the above stated apps nonstop all day long. Not sure if it auto-purges apps after a certain amount of time, or what.
To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.
Can't get one in Canada until the 21st, just wondering if the Note 5 is a smart buy.
Here's a video of the LG G4 smoking the Samsung Note 5 in memory management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QSffa9dys
The Note 5 opens the apps incredibly fast even with reloading though.
I've seen posts here and there that make it sound promising but the video above scares me a little.
Anyhow what are your experiences?
How many apps (and which) can you open and swap between without them reloading.
You already saw my posts but I will re-state here so others can see as well.

I don't yet have much else installed, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not a universal issue, and even if it were, it can easily be resolved by an update from Sammy, or a custom rom/kernel down the line.

Yeah same here ... no problem at all ...
My note kills apps like crazy. Certain apps i know for sure as soon as i hit home the app gets killed. but if i jumped to another app through recents, then the app would at least stay alive for a while.
