That's just it. It doesn't appear as though any particular process is rising in RAM specifically, just looks like I am running out of space often. It could be something with a memory leak. I used all the same apps for the past few revisions.

Currently I have 250MB used, 53MB free

Current Processes:

Settings 18

Facebook 25

DRM Content 2.2

Software Update 3.6

Email 7.2

Google Services 8.7

SNS 0

Go Launcher EX 24

Maps 7.3

Swype 8.4

Cached:

Beautiful Widgets 3.9

MTP Application 2.3

Android Agenda Widget 6.1

Calendar Storage 3.3

Market 9.8

Currently using the honeycomb locker with the music widget and missing event widget. I also have Go Locker installed but not using it.

I am sure a little later the free ram will be in the 40's.

EDIT: as we speak, now in the low 40's, most processes are the same size or lower, some cached processes are now gone, but TSM Parts started up and then disappeared. Expecting to restart soon.

Have you tried adjusting the memory settings in the semafore app?

I have mine set to 64mb.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
Yep, I tried that.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Wipe data and only restore apps you absolutely need.

Then if that works slowly add back apps 1 or 2 at a time.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
It looks now like some of the processes are increasing in size:

Google Services, Settings, DRM Content and Software Update.

I'll try wiping and restoring apps like you suggest later tonight maybe. Which kernel should i start with?

I think i have an idea what is causing it. I will report back later with results.

Looks like it's the Honeycomb lock screen option. I switched back to ASOP and no more memory issues that i can tell so far. It's a shame since my daughter has been looking forward to getting that one back. I may try a few more lock screens to see if they leak too.

Anyone delete google music and install the new one? I had it working on the last build but no go now. Hmm
[Captivate Android Development] jaquez4:
I couldnt update to the new one with the transparent blue market, but as soon as I upgraded to the new market I was able to download/install the new app without problems. If ya have this theme for your market, that may be the problem
[Captivate Android Development] jde984:
I had actually forgotten about the update until I read your post...

I got rid of the preinstalled version and installed the new one from the market. It kept fc-ing though, even after a reboot. So I unistalled then reinstalled and it's working fine now.

Can I assume it will not be for the Cappy maybe so? Please?

And by the way Nun, you and all The Collective Team have done an AWESOME Job with Mosaic as I have been with some of you guys since FireFly 2.1 and have not flashed another Rom nor haven't even thought about it since I stumbled upon it. The Quality, Awesome Look, Features and Support have been way above anything I have read here on XDA. So, a BIG Thank You to you and the Team.

And when you Guys and Gal leave development on the Cappy and go to whatever phone you go to I will get that one as well (when my upgrade is available) because I will always be a loyal user to whatever you guys are developing!

Again, a Huge Thanks you all of you,

Joe

Thank you to The Collective

Hi all. I've been using Mosaic since III and last upgraded to V in May (I believe) and have been working 2 jobs (Gotta make ends meet!) and been happy with V and just haven't had much time to keep up with all the updates. But...V got a little long in the tooth and started freezing up on me...so I knew I had to go for the latest version of Mosaic. WOW!!!! What a great job on this version. It's really like having a new phone. So much appreciated. I would like to donate some money but as the Collective...how and/or who does that go to? I am trying to keep up on this and the other forum regarding Mosaic VIII but I just have to ask...I downloaded Mosaic 8 last Sunday Dec 4, 2011 and now I see some posting about version 8.5? I've gone to the first page and see only version 8...can someone help me? Also I see a lot of talk about replacing the kernal with Semaphore...is this really better than the default DarkCore kernal that was installed with version 8? Thanks again to everyone that made and/or contributed to this ROM...for people like me...this is a real godsend.

[Captivate Android Development] Bogie1:
Here is the link to the newest update 8.5 http://bit.ly/ulNz4k as for Semaphore I have been running it since the 1.82 version and in my opinion it is better than the Dark Core and TalonDev. So many people were having SOD with Dark Core and TalonDev and I think by installing Semaphore pretty much solved all their issues. In fact, Nun has included Semaphore (1.9.1 Big Mem) in the latest update...only thing is that the Big Mem breaks 720p video recording. Stratosk has a new version out 2.1.1 and it seems to be smoother than 1.9.1 (to me anyway) here is the link for the Captivate version if you would like to try it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338372 also if you would like to try the Thunderbolt! scripts here is the link as well http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296927 it really makes the phone smooth, fast and great battery life. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Both my phones are running MVIII (not 8.5... can't lose the Emily theme) with Semaphore BM and essentially the same apps installed, same launcher, same widgets. One has no issues at all (semaphore and/or a switch to ADW EX seemed to alleviate the sleep/shutdown issues) the other shuts itself down on a whim around 2-3 times per day.

So, as far as I go, you can play with all the kernels, apps, widgets, whatever... I don't think anyone is going to have a silver bullet. As you all should be aware of by now, every Cappy has it's own personality... some are normal and down to Earth, others are borderline psychotic. Take what works for others as nothing more than something else to try... and keep trying until you find that magic combination that creates the cappy prozac that your phone needs.

PDroid

I was just wondering what the devs thought about this and possibly bundling it with Mosaic in the future. Or maybe including the custom "patch" that is required for the app to function properly so end users could install the app if they wish.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
I am thinking Semaphore 2.1.1c is pretty smooth and stable. Anyone running the big mem version?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I'm running the bigmem version... haven't had any issues with it. As explained above, I have two phones.. both running it. On one, it's working great... on the other, when it's on it's fine... but still has the issue where it decides to night night all by itself.

[Captivate Android Development] Alexstarfire:
Say, I had a question about BLN. First one being does the kernel that comes with the ROM supports it. Searched the thread about it and the closest thing I found is that it might have been "coming soon" back on Halloween. It seems like it does since the BLN control app doesn't say the kernel doesn't. However, even when I activate BLN it doesn't work.

My second question is similar to my first. Seeing as how I flashed Semaphore's kernel on this ROM and I know it supports BLN I'm wondering why that doesn't work. Is it because BLN doesn't work with this ROM or is it an issue I should ask over in the thread for the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Bln is in all custom I9000 kernels at this point.

It doesn't work with the stock messaging app, But it should work for missed calls and other stuff. I use handcent and it all works.
[Captivate Android Development] tmroy:
Mosaic 8.5 doesn't support tethering?

Correct me if I'm wrong and I apologize if this isn't news, but the kernel in 8.5 (Semaphore?)

doesn't support tethering either by the mobile ap setting or the google wifi tether?

In my case I used Heimdall to put the darkcore kernel back.

By the way, what is the difference between "bigmem" and not, and are they interchangable?

Thanks,

Todd
[Captivate Android Development] stinkynoon:
I don't know about the tethering, but the "bigmem" and non bigmem are interchangable. The "bigmem" version offers a little bit more available memory, at the expense of breaking 720P video recording.
[Captivate Android Development] dpaik:
when using Semaphore kernel....go into the app and turn on netfilter and it'll allow you to tether and also use firewall apps like droidwall...hope this helped...i posted this a few posts back or maybe that was in the semaphore thread...anyways...rock on

I'm using the JVZ Bigmem, and the phone works fine. Only thing is, when you install it for the first time, the screen stays black for awhile on the first boot because it wipes the dalvik cache. First time I thought I bricked my phoe. :p

yes, that black screen gets me every time. even when i know it will happen. on the 2nd boot, it goes straight from teh Mosaic boot ani to the lock screen.

On a Rom related note, did a fresh flash of 8.5 and it is running great! I upgraded the kernel to Sephamore 2.1 and it is rock solid! I didn't think I would notice a difference but it is definitely noticable how much quicker and smoother my cappy is running. Great job as always dev's! M8 was good but it the performance seemed to be deteriorating on me no matter what I did, hopefully I don't have the problem with 8.5. :D

Is 8.5 a wipe or no wipe? I'm using M8 with 2.1.1 c and still get about 3 sod's a day. If 8.5 doesn't work I'll try thunderscripts as I recall something in the thread about helping sod's.

Semaphore 2.11 disoriented both my phones!

I flashed Semaphore 2.1.1 with the SGS kernel flasher and both phones started to act weird

in terms of screen rotation. One thing is that the phone dialer would go horizontal whether or not autorotation was off or on. If it was on, the phones would go horizontal even if standing vertical or sitting flat on my desk. Trying to calibrate, the ball would go left or right if I lifted the phone up or down and up and down if I lifted the phone right or left. In other words it was 90 degrees out. I reverted to Semaphore 1.9.1 and all is well.
