Root BB v0.4 memory management

[emdmao]

Does anybody know how to lower it from 50 free MB to say 30? Its killing Facebook when I run slacker and vice versa

There used to be a script to do it, but looking at the list for 0.4 I don't see it.

You could download Autokiller from the market and change it with that.

I dont like autokillers, I saw Fab say something once about being able to go into the system files and be able to change it.

Ok, the file is /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

The line you want to modify is

echo "xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

To convert those number to MB, multiply by (6/1536). Take a look at what Pete has chosen as his 6 "steps". You can modify yours to fit your needs.

For example, I use:

echo "2048,3072,3840,6400,7680,10240" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Again, thanks Fab, you the man.
