[Q] - Moto X Q&A

I am looking for a ram cleaner widget equals or similar to the one that comes with LG Optimus G.
Any recommendations?

You don't need one.

Correct, Android does not need a RAM cleaning program. I did not know that LG included one. Shame on them. "Cleaning" your RAM will only result in greater battery use, and decreased performance.

Thanks for advising, but i am still looking for one.

Airdroid has one, and you can create a shortcut to it

Just reboot....

How does app2ext/link2sd save RAM?
i hav no clue but afta i used S2E and link2sd my ram has jumped.. before it used to be stuck around 35-40 now around 60
Sent from my Milestone using xda premium
I use aggressive 2 settings. My ROM(pete alfonso bugless beast) Doesn't allow for me to change home locked in memory, so i'm not sure if that changes anything.
Latest versions would fix that... I just posted updated 9 RC5
How about a link? ;-)

I'm experiencing similar behaviour - after moving lots of apps to my ext4 partition via Link2SD my old stone seems to be more responsive.

is it the same with the native cm7 app2sd? and how is the battery usage?
its not native cm7 app2sd normally gives sumthin around 160-150 free space...with s2e and link 2 sd it 191 when i newly flashed cm7 and considerable increase in ram

I don't know
I abandoned CM7 some time ago because of serious performance issues when using the camera and Maps while having the launcher locked in memory.
Only thing I can tell is that I noticed a speed gain when I started to use Link2SD.
Might be applicable for other ROMs as well.
I can only assume that it's caused by more space being available for caching purposes.
Options 3, 19, 20 in RC5. I didn't put KAK, dunno if I should. (Used it b4 and still not sure if it is good or bad)

Is it possible to get my memory usage even lower?

Currently using stock gb 2.3.6 and I just changed my wallpaper to static and deleted most of my running apps only to see my usage of ram is 400/800, any chance I can lower it even further without doing any flashing to the from...
Thanks

Maybe because sometimes I run multiple tasks and next thing you notice is my usage is clocked up to 799/800 and lag is visible!

Either you are drunk or your keyboard has been cheating on you
+1 on the lighter ROM OR
At OP: there is an app called system tuner, where you could decide which applications should start, using that you could have a restricted start up and "might" be able to reduce memory usage.

[Q] No Battery option in Settings?

So it has just occured to me that my O4X has no "Battery" option in the settings menu. How do I see my battery usage then?
Will gladly appreciate the help

It's hidden inside "Power management" (or similar, don't know how it's called).

Thx guys. Found it. Didn't realize it would be there as the options for power saving are not as appealing as Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 (no lowering cpu speed).
Do you happen to know any effective way to save O4X battery without compromising much of the performance? LG Gearbox and CPU Master by antutu don't seem to have any positive effects. ROM Toolbox Pro seems like another joke in this situation too.

That seems to be a good solution.. but with only 530 mAh extra battery, I dont think it'll make much difference. I just don't understand why o4x battery drains so fast..
Also, I noticed some people saying they have better battery life after updating firmware to v10H. Mine is v10e, and I believe v10h is newer and may give better battery life, but does it actually affect?

It actually does quite well I have that battery and it gives me around 18 hours where I got with the normal one around 11 12 hours if even. So there is a difference or buy one with a bigger back what I also have. I am on v10f.

Maximum RAM used

Hello everyone! Having a 2GB RAM in nexus 4, I am curious how much max RAM have you people used. After running my daily apps like Facebook,8 tracks, flipboard, what's app, viber,xda, drop box, chrome, I have used a Max of 1.2GB RAM. Post your max RAM usage.

I have used about a 1 GB of RAM. I love having extra ram in a phone

Lol. Yup. That extra ram Will be much helpful for the future updates. My friend's one x's 1 gig of RAM is now not sufficient for him.
Imho, nexus 4's power has not been used to the full yet. Optimization needs to be done, both in hardware and software. I believe we have a hardware that will go into full swing next year
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Most likely key lime pie will have more optimizations hopefully and it should debut this year.

That is true. Take for example the galaxy nexus was released two years ago and its going strong
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I dunno why 1gig of RAM wouldn't be sufficient but i don't mind having the extra. And KLP rumors say that the new Linux Kernel will actually be substantially more RAM efficient.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
i usually have between 1375-1500mb free ram at any point of my usage(about 1650mb after killing my apps). i also use autostarts to prevent apps from starting up in the background, and i use greenify to tame wild apps.
I've seen about 1.2-1.4gb of my RAM being used. But there was someone who kept complaining that the nexus 4 would close apps even if plenty of space was remaining. i think that person even started a thread & posted videos to prove it .

anyone can fake that video. can even make it kill the background apps sooner when very little ram is used. all you have to do is change the memory management variables by raising them. plus, there are roms out there that do that too.
Yes. I feel like that nexus 4 kills certain apps or refreshes despite having enough RAM.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Using Elixer 2 widgets, I seen to hover between 1.2gb to 800mb free ram. I don't really close anything, pretty much just let it run on its own. Stock not rooted or anything. I have probably 50 give or take a few apps installed.

Ram use age is not only dependent upon the applications running... If you use roms like xylon or liquid etc there are options to show how much ram is used by applications, cache and one other thing which i can't remember right now.. So basically my ram use age in real life had always been nearly to 1.6 1.7 GB!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
is jelly bean optimized for 2gb?, Ive had apps close not crash and I wonder why if it needed the ram, would changing the vm heapsize help?
I checked and I usually have 700mb remaining.
My Galaxy Nexus ran perfectly with 1gb ram so its probably more like JB uses ram pretty efficiently. More helps tho.

That much RAM? you are on a custom Rom? Could you list your apps?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Maximum RAM used on my N4 was about 800-900 MB. Stock everything, with some services running like Facebook,Whatsapp,8tracks,Lightflow and a live wallpaper ..
As for the people wondering why some apps appear to "close" on their own despite having enough RAM. Its the app's fault, the code is not written well and does not advantage of Android's multitasking capabilities.

Mine has free 900+ mb

I don't use that many apps..and yea iam on a custom rom...but i guess u didnt get what i am saying...most of the time what ubsee ass ur free rom isn't actually free... It's being used by cache and other things...what most roms show u is only how much ram applications use..as u can see from my screen shot... The phones ram is never entirely free !

How to maintain best performance as possible?

Any tips that you guys recommend? Perhaps a tool that identifies the resource-intensive processes?
It's pretty fast 95% of the time but just wondering

Apps that you downloaded, but don't use them, just remove. Get good quality apps from reputable source/brand. Your phone should let you know if the app is using more resources. Restart your device at least once a week to free up some RAM. In the settings, on the battery screen you will be able to see if an app or hardware is using % of battery.
