boost your spica performance

[Decalc]

I've tried it and it works!.. Now i don't even have a task killer.. always have a minimum of 40mb of ram available witch is a lot better than 25mb. I also use juice defender.

I have not noticed bad battery life when not using task killer. I rarely use them, unless some app hangs or use lots of CPU which eats battery. Use OS Monitor to check how much CPU each app or service is using. Having memory free does not improve performance at all, really. If you always make sure you have X MB free, it only means you will not have use for that amount of ram! Android will KILL background apps if you need more ram than currently available for some other app. You can see this happening in the dmesg output.

That said. It won't hurt to kill apps that you never will use. Many apps load at boot even though you wont use it more than rarely. Use Startup Manager to prevent them from loading at boot time.

My current stats: Mem total 165M. Mem free 61M

Sad i cant manage what app should kill, cause i want clock to be excluded, if it killed wake up ring wont work...

I have the same concern. I use the Alarm a lot. Any workarounds?

I changed dalvik vm heapsize to 48M instead of 32M. It seems to give me better performance. I guess there are many java/jit settings that could be tweaked. This is the first I tried today.

can you elaborate how you did that?

MinFreeManager v1.5 can be downloaded here

We need to make clock like a "service"

[Gatak]

can you elaborate how you did that?

I edited /system/build.prop

change dalvik.vm.heapsize=48M

[gyrael]

MinFreeManager settings are reverted once you reboot right? I'm currently using the Aggressive profile and just edited the dalvik.vm.heapsize to 48m. What startup manager would you guys recommend?

Dont know

But it runs always like cached... so minfree clearing it...
