I've spent a great deal of time trying to assess what these Evenwell apps do and have managed to open up a few using secret codes taken from the apps manifest.
1) Use this code on your phone dialler - *#"#3277#*#* it's for Stability Monitor app. This app from the looks of it is designed to send Nokia/Evenwell log reports from ANR crashes, boot reports amongst other things. By opening up the Stability Monitor app, you can actually choose to send yourself all the reports instead of them being uploaded to a server by periodically having zip files saved on your SD card! Very useful indeed.
2) *#*#666#*#* - EMM app. Yes one of the most hated of Evenwell apps that stays running constantly unless you're prepared to use ADB commands. You can manually set up CPU, GPU and DRAM Governors as if you have a rooted phone! You can either switch them off entirely or have them in use at your options. The option2s are switch off, default, screen or heavy app. There are even options for when force stop apps occur and something called dropcache.
You can also see all current app processes and even what EMM considers to be whitelisted apps. Surprisingly it doesn't consider Google Play Services to be whitelisted which answers my own question about why I would get popups to say the app stopped. There is even a way to manually add an app to the whitelist but I have not been successful with this yet as I am not as technically gifted as most people in here.
I will see about uploading some images to the net so I can post here of actual screenshots as I have not made 10 posts yet here so I cannot upload direct from my phone.
There are a few others I've discovered I can open and will update here as soon as I work out what each app does and what you can do on them when you open them up.
I would appreciate some technical assistance with regards to the EMM app as so far by making my own amendments, all I've done is heat my phone up so high I struggle to pick it up! If anyone can test out the CPU, GPU & DRAM Governor options to see which are the best, please update here.
*EDIT* Here's a link to the album I created here to post screenshots -

I have looked around to see if there were any other substantial methods to adjust the way memory was dealt with in the galaxy S. After using the phone throughout the day I do notice it bogging down to a crawl, even to open the messaging app. Now I did read in the development section about the recompiled libdvm.so for froyo. But I'm not getting ahead of myself since the file is still in testing. For immediate results I've been tinkering with Minfreemem.
If you don't know what it is, here's a run down by android central.
http://www.androidcentral.com/fine-tuning-minfree-settings-improving-androids-multi-tasking
It adjusts the way android allocates ram to specific applications running or in background. Now other forums have some information about settings and which is best, but I havent dug up much info for the galaxy. The app itself has presets and those work well. The only thing that bothers me is the presets are a bit outdated and not configured for any specific phone in mind. The screenshot below is just an example of default settings on a phone running HTC sense. My default settings running Quantium 2.7 rom was different.

After messing around for a while and looking up if anyone was using "similar apps" for the nexus S so i can test out their settings. I came only to some japanese site where the translation didnt work out very well...
So here is my settings I been using for an hour, notice the presets do show a lot of empty ram "96" to speed things up without bugging down. I believe that unused ram is wasted ram.
Foreground: 14
Visible: 28
Secondary: 32
Hidden: 32
Content provider: 64
Empty app: 32
with these settings I was able to toggle back and forth from apps without reloading. Especially the gallery, that tends to slow down quite often. Opening new apps was smooth and switching back to threads and contact lists were good as well.
I want to quote the article at android central
I want to stress -- there is nothing wrong with the way Android handles this out of the box. It's efficient, works well every time, and keeps things stable. It's our meddling and the need for instant gratification that is the real issue. Waiting .3 seconds longer never killed anyone. But I'm just as guilty as anyone else, and want immediate results too, so let's do it!
If you have anything to contribute thats "informational" please do.
Ok so I have tweaked my phone a bit for my liking and figured there are many out there that would like some pointers with this.
This is not a ROM or anything like that.
Things needed:
Titanium Backup
Launcher Pro
OS Monitor (optional)
Before we get started I have already rooted my phone as well as made it able to play tegra games using the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251663
First install LauncherPro from the market. You can tweak this to your likings but these are the settings I have gone with for the purpose of speed and snappiness.
Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effect>None
Preferences>Behavior Settings>Home key to default screen(on)- this is just a personal preference
Preferences>Advanced Settings>App Drawer>Opening Speed>10
Preferences>Advanced Settings>Screen Previews>Opening Speed>10
You can also make a change in the phone settings
Menu>Settings>Display>Animation>No Animations
Disclaimer: These are simply subjective and have seemed to work the best for me and my phone. Everyone may be different.
Next we all know the stock rom likes to run A LOT of things in the background.
So let’s install Titanium Backup (make a backup first just in case, I didn’t have issues but someone may)
In TB find the app you wish to remove and select then un-install.
Here this is where I will provide pics to show the apps I still have installed on my phone. This is where OS Monitor came in handy to let me know what is running.
This is pretty obvious of the apps you would want to remove (bloat ware).

Again these are simply subjective to me and my phone, what may work for me may not work for another. Saying that I have had similar settings with my old captivate.
After all this make sure you give it a nice reboot.
I hope this helps some head in the right path of enjoying this nice phone.
I have noticed a nice increase in the snappiness of the phone and it just feels damn good to remove the damn bloat ware.
ENJOY!
For any other tips PM me or post em here and I will do my best to add to this to help others. At least until we can get a worthy ROM
This is for anyone, especially those that have way too many apps like myself and are flashaholics and tired of waiting 30+minutes for your apps to optimize after clearing Dalvic and Cache.
1. Download a build.prop editor.
I like using the one by JRUMMY , he is an excellent developer and programmer and has been doing it for a very long time.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
2. Open the app and make sure you are in /system/build.prop
3. Search for this key
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags
4. If it is not there, add it.
5. Change the property value to this
v=n,o=v,m=y
6. Should look like this now
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7. Save and reboot.
Now go and clear your dalvic/cache and reboot and you should see a significant difference in your optimizing apps screen.
This took me awhile to figure out and a good bit of research, so if it helps anyone please hit the thanks button.
ALSO
If anyone wants to implement this to their ROM, feel free to, I encourage it! !!
Thanks and I hope this helps with people that have many apps.
I have about 986 right now so using this mod I cut my optimizing apps screen down from over 30 minutes to almost 3 minutes now.
Very nice looking forward to try it thanks sir
No problem man it has really been bugging me because I have so many apps.
Works great. What is it doing differently that allows it to load the apps so much faster?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
v=a means verify all,
v=f means verify full,
o=v means optimize verify,
v=n will turn off bytecode verification
u=n means do not optimize for unprocessor
m=y means register maps yes
Found this info here, kinda outdated, but works.

Also, doing a search on google and a lot of research.
When acessing the application list that can be put into deep sleep (Battery and device care menu) , at the bottom of the list there is an application which contains 2 chinese symbols followed by 1 (see pic below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. The application isn't however listed in normal app list, even if I am selecting to be displayed also the system apps. What is about, please ?
Translates to "Starry 1"...Where did you buy your device? If it's from a Chinese seller it's possible it's been loaded with China specific firmware which I would expect to include various monitoring and reporting apps.
It was bought from the one of the official shops of Orange - mobile phone company. How can i get rid of it ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there are apps on PS that help you obtain the full package name of installed apps. with the package name you can use ADB to disable it.
Tried with some suggested apps, but unfortunately this app is not listed at all. As specified in my first post this weird app is listed only when accessing the menu "Battery and Device Care -> Battery -> Background usage limits" where I can select the apps that can be put into (deep) sleep. But if am accessing the menu "Settings -> Apps" it is not listed even if I am selecting to be dislayed also the system apps. Very strange....
you could also flash unlocked firmware too the phone. using the home_csc file will keep your own apps and data intact.
or you could phone up Orange and ask to be put thru to their technical department. maybe you can email them a link to this thread. they might enjoy the mystery detective quest.
The application is not using any permissions whatsoever. So for now I put it in deep sleep hoping that it does nothing. Will keep searching the net for some more info about it
How about friends trying to find a solution to the high battery consumption of these teams with exynos I would like to delve a little more into this topic because it is not completely clear to me...
What would happen if I choose the apps that seem to me to go in the inactive category and those that go in the always inactive category... BUT I don't activate the first option to put unused apps inactive....
What is the function of the first option? It is so that I put them automatically from what I see... But if I don't activate it but I still choose the category of inactive and always inactive apps... Does it fulfill the function? Or why does the first option always have to be activated?

also within location I saw that in the section to always allow location all these apps appear. Can't you disable or uninstall some?
I have the phone with nova launcher and many apps inactive always and so on and everything continues to be enough for me and with rest too
I have the phone with nova launcher and manual brightness, also many applications in always inactive mode and it continues to spend the same. I even see many apps that force the stop to remove permissions and I don't open them anymore and they continue to generate consumption. What happens if I disable these applications with adb:
*quick share agent
*wireless emergency alert
*android car
*authentication framework
*bixby vision
*bixby voice
*find my mobile
*continuity service mde service framework
*meta app installer, meta app services, meta app manager
*samsung text to speech engine
*private share
*quick share
*bixby routines
*samsung editing assets
*samsung free
*samsung galaxy friends
*samsung visit in
*customization service
*sticker center
If you want to find out, do it safely, i.e. backup first.
All you need is a PC and >ADB AppControl<.
