[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
You have to monitor wich apps are running in the background (or cached) to know why you get easily without ram. Theres a lot of apps for this in the Store for that. I use SystemPanel Lite. For better RAM management I would suggest you using the V6 SUPERCHARGE scripts (GET IT HERE, READ CAREFULLY EACH STEP !). The memfree values help a lot.

Also, removing unneeded apk's will help so much, if they run automatically and you don't need those. In fact, I removed all the apks I don't use. As instance, BlurHome run even if you use another launcher like GoLauncher (I guess that happens because another blur apps need that apk for work) and consume a lot of RAM.

I will live you a list with all the apks that I did safely remove form /system/apps, but remember it depends on the user (read below the list).

Battericaliobration.apk (you need it only once, and some people say you don't even need it)
BluetoothMot.apk(I don't use the bluetooth)
blur-services.apk (unneeded if you remove all the following blur stuff)
blur_XXXX.apk (I mean all the blur_[whatever] apks you found)
blurcalendar.apk (the blur calendar, I dont use it, I use gtask with google calendar)
blurcalendarprovider.apk
blurcontactssync.apk
bluremail.apk (I use k9 mail)
bluremailengine.apk
blurhome.apk ( remember installing another launcher as default BEFORE erasing this, or you will have to restor the nandroid backup)
blurupdater.apk
calculator.apk (theres a lot of betters apps for calc on the store)
cmparts.apk (Since they get FC when accesing on the menu. Nothing worked for me there)
email.apk
fota.apk (Unneeded I guess)
hdrcamera.apk (always FC for me, and not good pictures actually)
homesyncwizard.apk
inpocketservice.apk (I dont use that)
latinIME.apk (I have Swype installed)
livewallpapers.apk
livewallpaperspicker.apk
magismokewallpapers.apk
mms.apk (I use handset sms)
performancemanager.apk (this dont came in this MS2G version, but I tried using it for management getting only a lot of memory usage. So decided to remove it)
picotts.apk (dont use it)
quickoffice.apk (I use kingston office)
spellingcheckservice.apk (I have Swype installed)
stk.apk (dont use it at all)
suggestionsrulecheckercore.apk (always running and I dont think it is important)
suggestionsservicescheduler.apk (ditto)
ttsservice.apk (dont use it)
userdictionaryprovider.apk (I have Swype installed)
workcontacts.apk
yahoocontacts.apk

REMEMBER: You can remove them with a file manager like Root Explorer, but ONLY IF YOU DON'T NEED THEM. Be sure to make a complete nandroid backup before trying. When you remove some apps which are constantly running (like blurhome), you will get a lot of ForceClose notifications one behind the other. You will have to be fast and try yo hit the REBOOT menu quickly after hitting CLOSE, or just remove the battery and turn it on again. I would suggest cache and mostly Dalvik Cache Wipe just after this,

before booting again

. If you dont know what is some of those app for, try to google it first! Maybe a good practice is to move them to a backup folder in the sdcard instead of just removing them, so you can easily restore it. Also remember that if you remove only SOME of the apps I listed, and you want to keep others, you can get forceclose because of dependencies, if some apk depends of other you removed, mostly talking about blur apps. Anyway I repeat, I didnt have trouble removing all of those. Have in mind which apps will you use!

And Walter, if some of those apks are

critical

and they should not be removed, please tell ! I had no troubles at all, but maybe others do.

Thank you so much Walter!

Modules from CM7.2 are working on MS2GINGER 4 !!

FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO MOUNT SHARED FOLDERS ON THEIR ANDROID

(like me :B) :

1) Download the needed modules from any of these links (Both are the same, just 2 mirrors)

> http://www.4shared.com/zip/Hb8yHIap/CIFs_for_MS2GINGER_4.html

> http://www.mediafire.com/?bo3azzv2q4ou0vq

2) Put those modules on /system/lib/modules, change the owner, group and permission like the others on the same folder (you can use root explorer to see and modify).

3) To mount Windows Shares on your device (first correctly share them on Windows and..) you can use CIFsMANAGER for all (load modules and mount the share). Get it from the Store, and use these settings:

On MENU/Settings.. Mount point prefix: I used "/mnt/cifs", some people suggest using a folder under the sdcard like "/mnt/sdcard/cifs" because of permission troubles. I hadn't any trouble anyways. Enable Load Cifs Module (on startup) ; enable Load via insmod, and complete the "path to..." stuff like this:

/system/lib/modules/slow-work.ko:/system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko:/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

4) Once you did that, you can optionally check if modules are enabled using Terminal Emulator, with SU permissions using command "lsmod". Chech if the modules appear in the list. If so, they are running!

5) Then again in CIFsManager "Add New Share.." and in Share Path use the share path like "192.168.1.15/mymusic" (The IP is the local (network) IP for your PC), in "Mount Point" use the same you set in 3), use your username and password (for the user on the PC) to get full access to the folder, and in OPTIONS you can use:

"forcedirectio,iocharset=utf8". First is for better performance streaming as I did read, and the second for character compatibility.

Thats it!
