if the same the solution is really easy. I got this program called auto killer memory optimizer. its basically a front end to "adjust" the built in functionality of android to handle automated task closure to preserve operating memory.
ie safe  for the most part (I don't mess with the first half just the background stuff)
I set it all to 75mb and that keeps pretty much anything not running "active" out of memory and REALLY seems to improve performance. though how much of that is from the OC and how much from this I don't know but it does help.
I will await the howto and I appreciate you doing it too I make a lot of how to's in my arena's (rocketry and photography) and I know how much of a pain them can be to do |
You can probably find an app to do everything I've outlined. As I said at the beginning of the diatribe I posted, I don't want to use any apps... I don't want more overhead, and I want complete control of what's going on - IE, I want to control Android directly. I don't want some app doing it for me, since I don't really know what it's doing (you're asking, but I don't know without watching what is in the logs when the app is first run...)
I didn't want the overhead of any more apps, and I also wanted to use the built-in abilities of Android to manage things. All any of these apps *should* be doing is adjusting these values, but how do you know a good task manager app from a bad one? Honestly they're all bad IMHO and I would prefer to do it directly. This thread is for those who want the same
