Hi guys. For a while my s3 has problems. With any rom, the applications after 1 or 2 days start to trouble and the phone becomes unusable. The Applications are forced to close on their own. Is there a solution to this problem or do I have to change rom every 2 days?
Sorry for my english. I'm italian

Lack of RAM is showing up. Try to greenify apps that work in background and open them when you need them. this will free up some ram and make phone kind of usable

Any OS higher than the last official firmware will have issues because the hardware wasn't designed to incorporate the newer features. These new features must be either removed or patched out which causes instability issues because apps are looking for something that doesn't exist.
Only the last official firmware and os is stable enough to be called a release candidate.
RAM in android is not meant to be free. Android is programmed to use ALL of the RAM at ALL TIMES. This allows apps to open quicker as they have been preloaded because they are determined to be an app you will use regularly. If you don't use the app it will eventually be omitted from RAM automatically and replaced with the next app deemed to be used more regularly.
People should be paying attention to how Android is actually programmed before recommending false hopes on apps like "greenify".
Apps like greenify will run in RAM and try to omit the running processes. Android will override the decision and make the app run regardless, only to be closed again by greenify. This causes a 'war' between os and app and uses excessive power. Greenify is and always will be a placebo.
Common causes for apps not behaving are:
1, Interference from other apps
2, manual interference ie permissions being manually revoked.
3, apps not installed via playstore.
4, incompatible operating systems.
5, poor programming in the first place.
So in summary, if you use anything but unrooted stock firmware you will encounter issues. This comes with the territory of messing with things you have no clue about, including apps that claim to make everything better.

Im not telling him that the ram should be free. What im telling him that if you are low on ram (like our gs3 has 831 mb of ram) each time you open an app it loads into the ram that previously most probably has been used by other app causing lag because of the time needed to remove old app from app and load a new one. When you have more ram in device it just replaces the "dummy file" from the ram so there is no lag because there is no app that will not want to be killed
@shivadow: your RAM-lecture is IMO quiet irrelevant here. 800MB available means constantly moving necessary things out of /into RAM. Custom-kernels add x-RAM therefore, but freezes /FCs are just caused by hickups during x-RAM-ops. @antony991: I could use S3 stable and battery friendly by using a lite-ROM, without GApps, with a few lite apps only. My favourite was an unofficial Slim-build.

FDroid is safe? are there malware apps?
FDroid offers open-source apps only: checked carefully, fewer choice.
Yalp gives you a link to GPlay: free versions only.
Both offers you the lowest chance of malware, but no insurance.

My favorite app is called titanium backup, it lets you remove everything you want and if you make a mistake you can restore what you deleted. The freeze option on the paid version is really good.
Titanium Backup is easily the most useful app for any rooted phone. The paid version is not much better than the free version, other than giving the developer some support and appreciation. It lets you freeze apps so they no longer appear in your app drawer, and even uninstall bloatware that you specifically select. It's a must have and it will definitely save you more than once! Hope this helps

first of all - amazing app!!
I have one question, maybe I got it completely wrong ...
If I hibernate an app, and restart it later again, e.g using the recent key, shouldn't the app state also be restored??
e.g. I use root explorer and navigate to a folder, then press the home key. When I get back to the application ( not using greenify) I will see the same folder that I was in before (if LMK did not kill my app of course).
But when the app was hibernated (greenifed), it always starts up "fresh"... Is this intended??
Galaxy s6, android 5.0.2 rooted
The app is stopped so is normal. Btw in Root Explorer is an option to restore your last working folder, check it if you want to go back to your folder.

Root explorer was just an example. So it is not exactly the iOS feeling that an application is stopped in background and resumed afterwards...
Which means, that I should not greenify apps that I want to go back later on using the recent key - because I will get a reload of the whole app which makes the 3 Gigs of RAM completely useless ... Is this correct??
So people who greenify everything will get a bad user experience, at least on the apps they use many a time....
A little disappointing but still a great app.

That is how the app is designed. You are not supposed to Greenify every app especially those you use frequently. That will consume more battery. This is stated in the OP of the main thread by the Dev himself and repeated many times in many sub-threads.
Makes sense.

I believe the closest equivalent of the IOS behavior that you are looking for is generated through Doze, a function implemented in Android phones with Marshmallows. For a more aggressive Doze behavior, you can use greenify. And if you don't have marshmallow on your phone, I believe there is a dedicated Doze app on the play store

Ok thank you. I assume the app you are taking about is shutApp... The doze app (same developer) just cuts off the network activity using a dead VPN connection. I will try shutApp on my device phone, but for now I am happy with greenify, it works great except for Chrome and YouTube... Thanks for your help..

You may try the new experimental feature - "Shallow Hibernation" if your device is running Android 6.0 and rooted. It preserves the app running context even in hibernation.

Hi eveyone,
Title tells you everything. Why i made this conclusion? Because android nougat system uses all your RAM in vain.(I would like to mention that Linux os is famous for its low ram usage and fast ui so, google, why android is using so much RAM?) . Any installed app data which are stored on your Ram on a boot, so why apps are slowly opening,Why they are reloading everytime when switching back to that app? All apps which are running in multitasking mode(recents apps) when switching between apps , app is reloading but not switching to the last opened moment. Also there are some other bad behaviour like when youre updating your apps through google play store. If you switch to another app , google play app stops doing update process. These problems gets pixel and nexus devices and all devices which uses ROMs based on aosp or lineage.
I'm on a purenexus(aosp) rom and My device (kenzo)uses 1.8/1.8 GB of ram. It's a real problem. Comparing samsung galaxy s8 vs pixel device you can see what i'm talking about. (Youtube link is below) Why OEMs gets better results with their own UI and kernel customizations? Atleast, Can we get better Ram management on android o with stock kernel? I'm not talking about apple's iOS which is better in multitasking in any way..
https://youtu.be/UK8K-lhDFVw
I would like to get your opinion and suggestions how to improve RAM management on nougat. Atleast prove me that you don't have these my mentioned problems (please tell me your using ROM name, kernel and other mods you use).
Tried a lot ROMS but after some days of usage they end with poor ui performance with bad ram management behaviour..
Some saintly person with infinite knowledge is coming here to tell you that "free ram is wasted ram".
He won't care if your phone lags, apps reload and ui is unresponsive. He'll just repeat his favorite phrase.
"Free ram is wasted ram."
Let's see the first Saint's comment.
Oh and btw..
I'm facing the exact same problem. And I'm very pissed off with these saintly people repeating their favorite phrase. No solution found so far. Use greenify on as many apps as you can. It'll cause the problem to be a little more bearable.

Also lately play services started hogging ram so I disabled some of the services :

LOL so true, I was just thinking the same ? They'll say free ram is wasted but that's not true for a multitasker, like me, because I like to use 4 apps and be able to switch amongst them without reloading(I have 2GB variant)
Anyway, checkout my screenshot, I use greenify + 512mb zram(ElementalX kernel default settings)
P.s I'm on XenonHD
Never had such issue on any nougat rom. I use Resurrection remix 5.8.2 and Agni Kernel. Use Zram in kernel Auditor to boost performance little bit. I always have 700 to 800 free ram on 2g variant.
I set my LMK to 9-32-64-100-156-214 and I swear i can switch around with browser, facebook, message and gallery without reload anything . I'm on 2gb Kenzo with franco kernel
guys, use privacy guard / appops , and disable background working of unnecessary apps like

A little bit of my story: Galaxy Tab S. What laptop (tablet - in the old days, laptops were great with that much ram, weren't they?) with 3 gb ram won't let you multitask?! When it was Kitkat, it was, well, alright. I upgraded to Marshmallow, and I was not able to multitask. Marshmallow on Galaxy J5 Prime leaves 800 MB without cache and over 1.2 GB without cache, out of 3 GB. Similar with Marshmallow/Tab S (+ overheating processor!). I mean what the ****? Is that planned obsolescence?
And now I am here, typing from Tab S, with: 5 tabs open in Chrome, 2 tabs in Xodo, Settings, Play Store, ES File Explorer, Task Bar (Braden Farmer) [at the least] - having changed to Lineage OS 14.1 (no good. by default), rooted and learnt about Low Memory Killer (in Deathly Adiutor); tweaked it and I have less than 300 MB free ram with cache and less than 875 MB free without cache. Yay! (Btw, the overheating problem is solved too by underclocking - to save battery and avoid overheating!) [I have spent at least two days testing out different OS and possibility-of-root and features.] So, this paragraph is my 2 cents.
Would like to hear from you if your problem is solved.
[PS: J5 Prime is still under warranty, and is used for basic functionalities - no problem there as of yet.]
I'm currently running RR nougat with randon kernel
The ram management is great i can swith fb ,youtube, chorme, mess without loading, but in long term the phone start slow, hang and battery drop super fast ( 5H SOT)
So i have to force 3 app running background to keep battery longer and stay away from lag.
Any ideas to keep great ram and free - lag ?!?
Tks in advance
Any idea

On my Mate 9 (running Oreo 8.0, no root) I installed Greenify, but Greenify displays that e.g. Opera is greenified, but in an Android task manager (Android Assistant app) it shows it is still eating CPU. The same applies to e.g. Brave browser which has 'no background' according to Greenify.
Does Greenift really hibernate apps ?

Of course it does. The size/activity in this forum plus frequent mentions in respected publications over many years should offer some clues to its integrity. Whether it is working on your device is a different matter.
Greenify does best on rooted devices as unharnessed ROMs can both undo actions and/or misrepresent status. It's quite possible an app placed in hibernation was later woken via internal trigger that Greenify can not suppress on an unrooted device. In the case of Opera (my preferred browser) there is regular syncing of tabs and downloading of *cough* 'news' if you have those features enabled.
I also question info coming out of the "Android Assistant" app. On my device it claimed all apps had zero CPU...including itself. Also did not display system partitions correctly nor properly detect the sensor suite. Granted I only spent a few minutes poking around. Maybe some switches needed to be thrown.
Finally, you probably don't need Greenify on Oreo as Doze does a find job with power management.

Well don't take my word for it. Simply remove all apps from Greenify's hibernation list (hopefully there are not many there), observe device behavior over the next few days then make your own decision.

Trash? Err-no. I have it installed on every one of my devices for valid reasons. Needed for generic power management on Doze capable ROMs? Probably not (and as such serving no purpose). Enjoy your device.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It varies by app, developer approach and user settings. Many apps will experience delayed notifications with Doze while other punch right through. Greenify can be configured to permit notifications but only if the app utilizes GCM (Firebase). Aggressive doze, light hibernation, Xposed framework availability and several other variables contribute to notification behavior. If your head is spinning it should! End users should not need to know the contents of the underwear drawer. Best practice is to simply let Android do its thing without 3rd party tools unless one understands their behavior and application. At one time such tools were needed to achieve acceptable app/device performance and battery life. Not so today. Is such a simplistic solution 'optimal' form an enthusiasts point-of-view? Probably not. It is acceptable/reasonable from an end-user perspective? In most cases 'yes' yielding a good balance of performance and battery life with minimal interaction for those who simply want to enjoy their device vs. manage it. Good luck with whatever direction you choose.
Agree one hundred percent!
Greenify on Oreo is an appendage that is best left out in my opinion, since for most, Oreo itself manages the drain admirably. Though I have it installed, it is more by way of habit than necessity. I have experienced Oreo without Greenify and have no complaints.
Greenify is STILL works.
But its benefit on recent Android versions is not as prominent as on earlier versions.
Coz we already have Doze starting from Marshmallow.
It works for me. I have a samsung tab a 9.7 sm-t550 with an aicp 8.1 rom (lineageos based). Therefore it doesn't have the built-in samsung app device maintenance. I've also discovered a little trick to using greenify that I want to share. I use greenify with another app called shutapp. Shutapp is an app that helps you force stop apps running in the background. Except I don't do that. I use it solely for the purpose of having an accurate number of apps running in the background. Then I open the app to see which ones are running. Next I open greenify and hibernate them. I use this method, because I found that when you force stop the apps they will open back up again. Also, I use the widget from shutapp and not the floating bubble which requires extra permissions granted. The widget does the same thing without the extra permissions. This method I discovered has improved my ram and battery life drastically. I can tell because I use status bar mini pro to monitor my ram speed constantly. And finally I do have Xposed with the donation package of greenify, didn't want to leave that out. Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but wanted to be accurate. That's it, hope that works for somebody else, take care.
I hear that greenify isn't really needed on Oreo but how about the xposed version of greenify? That ads a couple of more features, does any of those change the verdict to "must have on Oreo" for greenify?

The verdict doesn't change. Use of Greenify on Oreo may become "must" only if you have a rogue app which can't be controlled otherwise. Even then, it might be better to seek alternative apps instead of trying to control it with Greenify.

Greenify works just fine on recent Android builds. It is a tool that can be very beneficial when properly used to produce a specific outcome. That said, it is rarely needed on Android 6+ as doze handles most of the heavy lifting. Enjoy using your device vs trying to fix problems you haven't identified.
I have an Alcatel Tetra running Android 8.1. Any always on VPN app is getting killed for some reason. It's definitely not a high memory user, and I've whitelisted it in every optimization setting I can find. I talked to the app developer, and they said Android is killing it. 8s there any way to prevent this? Like an app or setting? I'd prefer not to have to root my device, as it's new enough that there may not be a way yet(released September 2018)
Turns out Android 8 has an extra layer of security that doesn't allow apps to "monitor" their data.VPN apps have yet to adapt to that.So,some of them are getting killed.But big companies are fine.I use VPS Express Premium and faced Nothing on my New Pixel While some apps get killed.

I've been told by the developer that they've adapted to Oreo, but Android still randomly kills it. It has a watchdog process, a persistent notification, and a high priority. It use ~157mb ram on a 2gb ram Alcatel Raven. Any help appreciated
I don't know about that but on Pixel 3 XL not many VPNs work.I only get 2-3 apps working.Maybe a daemon is killing them due to low ram warning as your ram is too low and 150+ is a lot of ram for a background network process combined with other apps and the new system memory hog Android Oreo UI.You might want to compile a kernel which allows app memory allocation or swap support to stop this from happening.Also log them to see why or what killed them.

Not likely. According to Android, I average 1.3 to 1.4gb ram used. And system ui had always been a ram hog. It's essentially what makes the Android gui work. And it's not like it dies when I should be low on ram, like a game that I play that averages 579mb. Then it didn't die. My biggest thing, is there an app that will act as a watchdog? My antivirus has a companion app for that, but it only watches the antivirus
I used to use KeepRunning, but it doesn't work on 7.0+
There are a lot of apps that logs for you even in rooted mode.I've never had the need to install any so I don't know about any.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
UPDATE:
I, for the most part, solved my problem. It was a pre installed app called smart manager (com.tct.onetouchbooster) indiscriminately killing background apps. Used ADB to remove it (for user 0), and the VPN now works.
**Alcatel users, please ensure (if apps are not started on boot or killed) to remove Smart Manager via ADB**

UPDATE:
I, for the most part, solved my problem. It was a pre installed app called smart manager (com.tct.onetouchbooster) indiscriminately killing background apps. Used ADB to remove it (for user 0), and the VPN now works.
**Alcatel users, please ensure (if apps are not started on boot or killed) to remove Smart Manager via ADB**
