[Q] Suggestion for XU repair - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Ram usage is around 280mb on my XU without any app installed even after I tried 4.1.2 v4 unofficial
I tried bloatware uninstall, hard factory reset also but still same result
Do anyone has some kind of solution or should I refer to Sony service centre to bring back ram issue back to normal after unrooting and locking bootloader???
Please suggest as when I first put official ics ram usage was around 180mb

Thats normal.
Try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2414390
Also, try using greenify.

But this was not situation before

It was not like this before
Even in official ICS I dont know what I installed, changed or removed, but all of a sudden ram usage jumped 100 mb without any more app installed with same configuration
I just want to undo that and want my smooth running phone which it used to be:crying:

I was extremely liking UI of Jelly bean on XU but those bugs and 60mb free ram broke my patience
and After all the searching and hard work, I m going for gb rocks v3
Hope It doesnt contain bugs I faced before :crying:

But most of the apps available now are upward compatible from 4.0(For example:Xposed Framework,Nova Launcher,almost all the holo themed apps)......
You may face some issues there..

apps, CM9 doesnt include all sony's bloatware so thats why its smaller. (but be not mistaken, you still have to download 80mb of google apps)

[ROM][GB] LongevityGB v1.1 [All BL] [15.10.2013] - TEMPORARY STOPPED

Hello @xda users​
I changed so many ICS, JB roms but was never satisfied. Stock ICS and roms based on stock were very laggy, CM9 based were not totally stable (in my opinion) and had low volume, LED bar issues, battery is not good. JB roms based on stock from Sony are not smooth, battery is awful. CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2 still have so many bugs, not ready for daily user.
So i decided to go back to GB till a stable CM10.2 build comes out.
drvijayanand made a really lightening fast GB-ROCKS version but due to warez XDA's rule, his rom had been removed.
I got his permission to use his old rom as based to continue his perfect dev and make a new rom called​ LongevityGB​

[Q] Kitkat custom room vs. 4.0.4 on Xperia mini

Hello, everyone. I just bought an old Xperia mini and it is very slow (lagging so much) and I think an upgrade to Kitkat could help it faster but I am not sure about it and do not want to waste the time if it is not really worth it (newbie). So, could you help me with these answer?
1. How approximately fast (percent?) is the Kitkat custom room (carbon rom, pacman...) vs. 4.0.4 Sony xperia mini stock room?
2. How big is the custom room (typically) in comparison to the Sony stock room (My phone always notified me that there is not enough space to install apps despite the fact that I moved most of apps to SD card)
3. (Do not know it is suitable to ask) Which Kitkat custom room is the smallest size? I do not need to customize and my need is very basic.
4. Could I return to Sony stock rom (4.0.4) later if I want?
Thank you

1. it will blast you away. never thought it could be that good (Sony ics is very laggy:silly
2. ROM storage & data (app) storage are to diffrent partition a smalller rom doesent means really u will hav more space for apps, but:
a) never had space probelms with any LX build in apps (& yuo said your needs are basic)
b) u can use mount2sd or app2sd to put apps on SD to gain more space
3. if you say ur needs are basic use LX CM10.1 it has all the basic stuff & works great (better than kitkat bcuz there are many other problems due to lack of proper drivers.) mostly al other roms (PAC & carbon etc) are built on top of it or using as base.
4. yes you can flash a stock ICS ftf file via flashtool. software will be like out of the box.
give your phione some new life & try LX (or based) ROM. its the best at the moment

its just something i would advice to you. you said you have simple needs & all fw (CM -10.1, -10.2, -11) look quite same, only KK CM11 is a bit more with eyecandy. also its the stablest one (best battery & best working drivers from all LX's) at the end its your choice
CM10.1 - stablest & best working
CM 10.2 - somewhere between those two
CM11 - newest

1GB RAM?

I have the 8GB variant of P780. It says that it has a 1GB RAM but I only have about 300-100 free RAM everytime. I always kill all the apps but it only gives me upto 350, what happens to the remaining number? I'm not even running any apps in the background. Ever since the kitkat update, this never got solved.

[rom] slimkat for gts5282 [modification]

Well..
There's some roms for gts5282 and maybe u guys already tried those out.
Amongst them,one of the most lightweight rom is FAKE_SLIMKAT.
This rom is already $mooth enough to use.But if u guys want ur phone more smooth,just do as I say.
First dload the rom from here..
MAIN THREAD : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-star/development/update-custom-rom-4-2-2-fakeslimkat-t2955068
Start ur job...
Flash this rom via cwm 6.0.3 or twrp 2.6.3
Latest Cwm for gts5282 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../recovery-cwm-6-0-5-1-samsung-galaxy-t3235242
After flashing that rom flash this kernel before reboot.
ZD KERNEL V5 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ernel-codename-croco-kernel-19-march-t3058404
Now reboot ur phone.
Setup everything.
Then go to root explorer and go to system/app.
Delete holo launcher hd and holo notifier.
Replace it with ur launcher(whatever u like).
But i recommend u to replace with SecLauncher2 by argha.
Dload launcher from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-star/themes-apps/mod-t3134511
Now after replacing launcher,delete bloats that u dont want on ur phone.
I deleted gapps(xcept phonesky nd google login service) coz i dont need them.
Now go to recovery and flash this pure performance hd.
Dload pphd : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295010
Flash this and reboot ur phone.
Now use greenify to freeze apps and save battery/ram.
Credit : To all those guys who dedicating their times to make our phone a little better.
NB : AFTER DOING THIS,MY GTS5282 NEVER USED MORE THAN 220MB RAM,THOUGH I INSTALLED 14 APP WITH 4 BIG GAME ON MY PHONE.
SO,WHY DONT U GIVE IT A TRY...
I dont think remove some gapps from system may smooth ur phone. Couse if you deleted some of the gapps. Some apps will start fc. I dont think thats a good idea.

Hmm, from where should I start... First of all, that kernel combined with that rom is the worst combination ever. Everyone knows that the kernel is made for stock rom and works best with it, not to mention that the overclocking is totally not working even if it somehow worked it doesn't explain why you have low used ram because the overclocking is only effects CPU. Back to the point where you mentioned the low used ram as something "good" while indeed it's not. Ram is where program get stored so the more your ram is full the faster your phone will run. So I'm sorry but this thread is fake af.
