Memory problems with paranoid Android 3.99 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, me again...
Well after I managed to flash paranoid Android and run it without lag I were happy for some time... but know I noticed that my phone has some serious problems with it's memory used. It even closes my keyboard while writing a message.
After reboot the memory usage is normal again for some time, but it'll start again after some hours.
Hope somebody has a solution or an advice for me?

Alright was able to fix this problem with 2 steps, I don't know if one of them would be enough, didn't test them solo...
First I installed a flashable zip found on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360985
Btw, it works more fluently now than ever, great work :thumbup:
Second step is an app of play store, guess it's also an app from a xda developer called Android tuner .
I activated most of the 1 klick system tweaks and since that I never had problems again with memory leaks.
If I think about it closer, this thread should be moved to general forum and out of sgs2. Would appreciate it if someone could move it.
Thx though

Slow galaxy ace

I'm posting on behalf of my brother who isnt used to forums, he has had his galaxy ace since release and as far as i know it is fully stock not even rooted. Unfortunately its incredibly slow and has been for quite a while, before he goes and buys a new phone i wanted to check here for a possible solution.
Thanks in advance

This is what happens if you don't use a custom ROM .

Slow with opening apps? Or slow user interface? It shouldn't be slow unless he has tonnes of apps.

Do not make him buy a new phone, this phone can be hella snappy actually!
Start by rooting your phone, you can easily find a tutorial just by searching the forum or via google.
My personal preference:
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
Tweak: V6 SuperCharger Update 9 Beta 6.2.2 (tutorial here)
When installing the tweak, chose option 7 (agressive for 512HP)
APPS: Autostart (find it in market)), preventing useless apps to start, but you must have chose the apps manually.
Auto Memory Manager(find it in market), chose agressive and save the changes.
If he is new at these sort of stuff it could take some time to get it right but it's totally worth spending a day fixing it, he'll get a fast a snappy phone in long term.
Has he tried using the task manager to clear memory? It sounds like he downloaded an application that doesn't behave the way it should (memory/cpu hog). If clearing memory helps he has to find and uninstall the misbehaving app(s), i think there's an app called watchdog or something which monitors memory and cpu usage of all installed apps.
If that doesn't help, go i'd go for a reset. And before buying a new phone, give the custom roms a go because they do tend to increase performance quite a bit!
Thankyou for the quick replies everyone very helpful, he gets force closes on twitter and facebook all the time and also it just randomly shuts down aswell.

Factory reset needed. And you could help him get a custom kernel.

hi! regarding the suggested tweak? is there a detailed summary on how to use and instal this type of tweak? ive been reading the post and it seems it only has the overview.. thanks!
my advice is just forget all those mumbo jumbo tweak script. its already incorporated in cfroot kernel. its also doesnt make sense. all it does is doing the same thing. tweak vm dirty, tweak minfree, tweak stagefright and so on with the only difference is the fancy mancy name to make it looks yummy. people just install 2-3 script with different name when all it does is the same, and u actually already done it when using cfroot.
You might also want to avoid CM because it's unstable, just flash a stable custom rom that's still in active development. Make sure to get the latest cfroot kernel version.

They have, but UK operators are notoriously slow with pushing their own, branded versions. Especially on a midrange phone like the Ace. Avoid CM, especially Grif's as that has quite a few bugs. Some bugs in Cyanoace but not as many from my experience.
For starters, root your phone (or get a custom rom with integrated custom root), than download Titanium Backup from Market, and then uninstall all the unnecessary apps, also, delete app and internet cache. That all should make your phone better than new
I would agree about using cfroot.
Root phone with cfroot, titaniumbackup pro backup to sdcard, factory reset, download mode and flash latest stock rom from sammobile.com, root again and then restore apps only, only restore app+data for games.

DiskUsage help needed

Hi, I'm author of DiskUsage application. The app shows graphical map of the used storage space, which makes it easy to find space hogs.
I have a few reports that the recent app updates breaks something on SGS2. Could some of you try my app and tell me what's exactly broken / doesn't work. It will be even better if you also attack output from 'cat /proc/mounts' command from your device.
I don't have SGS2 and can't fix the breakage without your help. Thanks in advance. Ivan.
It works fine for me. No problems yet.

It works really well for me with no problems.
It is also an extremely useful app to help me see what is using the space on my phone and SD card. This has just become one of my favourite apps. Thanks for writing this.
Works for me .

The way you visualize folder usage is easy to understand and very useful. Great work

works fine with DXKI2. thanks for the app.
Thank you guys. I have no idea what the users complained about in the comments section on the app page. Usually, if you want to have something fixed it's better to send a email to developer, instead of putting a message in comments section.

better than nothing
neko. on the gingernap miui rom, people are saying apps force close or mass storage not working. I can't seem to reproduce the apps force closing as they work fine for me, and im not near a computer right now so i can't test mass storage.
do you have any idea whats wrong. could one of your various tweaks be causing the rpoblem. the original one based off of cm nightlies doesn't have these problems. could you look into it. I got a lot of work
> its not scripts causing that .on 1.5. Its working. There are only 3 known fc on settings. 1 under cm and 2 on security, what causes this is sort of error while recompiling settings.apk

I think somethings wrong with the gapps...I flashed the 20110729 and 20120828 for dark knights miui gb Tom..while in market there are a few apps I can't install because the play store says there's incompatibility with the devices version. I've tried alternates like apotide and blackmarket but some apps don't exist on either of those two like they would on play store...I also woke up to realize my phones download miui themes as well as all downloaded apps had seemed to disappear but I am using darktremors script in conjunction with s2e so all I did was a simple reboot and I had all themes and apps as before..I'm not sure if that's a bug or not or just a rare occurrence

well themes are stored in sd card.
could it be your sd card not mounting correctly or your sd ext is corrupted?
if theres incompatablility. change your build prop to HTC desire and the incompatabilities should disapear. that isn't this rom's fault. it is for lots of roms.
please don't mention aptoide on xda. you c ould get an infraction
Certain apps like Pandora never show in the google play store,many others like that...I downloaded a build prop editor and changed a few lines I recognized to reflect HTC desire bit there is still incompatibilities...I still get that message of the the device not being supported...I've known the SD card is starting to give out,I've partitioned it to many tines.I gotta get a new one (know of any places I can get a fairly cheap 16-32 gb sdcard,I currently have a 8gb card)...

[SOLVED] 2GB Apps partition is full?!

Hi guys, i just work up and i found the attached notification. I didnt even go to market for the past week iirc. For the past 3 days i am very sure i didnt. And i went to Setings -> Application i saw i was left with 14MB. It keeps jumping between 13 and 14MB free.
Anyone encounter this before? Can guide me where to start troubleshooting? Im gonna restart the phone first. But i hope to find out the root cause
EDIT: just tried and it is still persistent

I do surf the web but i do not download stuff often, including apps. Im on the stock jelly bean leak and philz kernel. I just cleared cache and dalvik from recovery but no help. My total apps size never crossed 1GB and when i came over to this rom i only restored what i needed only which i doubt it every crossed 600MB. I am on this ROM ever since it was released on xda and i have no issues until this morning which i find it odd.
I tried to uninstall an app but it Didnt help much

Chrome breaks music app n ram usage on LLA

Well guys this is weird. While using chrome, music app stops working and closes automatically. It doesn't happen with any other browser. I'm on indisn firmware 4.1 1 right now, non rooted. Anyone has any suggestions or facing same issue?
One more question, is the high ram usage fixed in uk version lla or it's the same??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using. xda app-developers app
Its the ram usage...the phone automatically closes other apps for freeing ram so that apps that uses huge resources like chrome can work..since music player works in the background.the low memory killer feature force closes the apps...i have personally experienced this problem when using facebook flipboard etc..

One question though, what's the point of having a powerful phobe such as s3 if it can't even run 2-3 apps at a time?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try clearing recently used programs list...since recently used programs will be cached for quickly launching next time the user needs it.it will take up a lot of ram...also try using advanced system care from play store...this app proved useful to me and many others..if it still doesn't work..try to uninstall least used apps..since some services will run in the background and eats up ram..and still not working means..keep the post alive and we can expect someone will come up with a solution
Hope this helps..

Bump!
Well i've successfully rooted mu device and i hope there can be more ways now to make it lagfree. So can anyone please suggest any ways now? I don't wanna install any custom kernel or recovery. Just wanna tweak the stock ROM for good performance and multi-tasking.
