Well, i came i saw i searched, i rooted, got the bloat out.(thanks to the forum :) )


at boot i have ~210free ram, at the end of the day, i have about 150 still ( due to V6 supercharger i believe) just wondering if i can get more ram outta this bad boy. or perhaps get it to stick around 210-180mb free. im running the second mega ram option on V6, so my minfree numbers are huge, is it possible to jack them up farther then the 150 max?(option 9 mega ram, 6,12,75,100,125,150) using the custoomizer?

thanks :)
 
Android is based on Linux, and in Linux free ram is wasted ram. Try not to worry about free ram.. the system will free up ram as it's needed.
 
can you explain more?

so i shouldnt worry at all about it getting low, at all, infact i should run as many apps as possible, and never close them?

im coming from windowsmobile 6.5, and its quite the opposite. whats the point of all these task killers on the market then?

Efit.. i just looked at your sig.. im dumb.
 
I'm no expert, but the only task killer type app I use is watchdog. Gives me an alert when an app like Facebook starts using too much CPU.
 
After the reading the article it all makes sense, but I'm still wondering why the task killers seem too work sooooo well as a temp fix, what's the real solution to the "old phone lag" syndrome?
 
I came from winmo also +1 and no shit about free RAM being important on wm. I've noticed which launcher I use makes a difference on free RAM. Launcher 7 leaves me with the most free. Mobile shell is the biggest RAM hog. I had to give it up because it would drop to around 65MB free and start FC alot. But I'm not neccesarily disagreeing with what I've heard stated in many threads on many forums because I'm not an expert but I notice when free RAM drops to much FC's happen. I typically run with around 200MB give or take using Go Launcher. It does fluctuate alot tho and that's the system recovering, but if to much is running and bogging stuff up then it can't recover unless that stuff closes which seems an operational issue to me. Just my observations
