[LG Thrill 4G] 47r0n1n:
Autokill Memory Optimizer & GO Launcher EX

Okay since I started this thread originally I wanted to update all the posters of where I am as of now with my Thrill 4G and give you all some updated information on things I have tried etc. This is where I am at this moment with my Thrill 3D 4G:

ROM: gtg's Thriller ROM v 1.1.0

Launcher: GO Launcher EX and using the "Classic Blue" Theme

Apps. To Help Performance and Battery Life:

Autokill Memory Optimizer (Rooted phone required to use)

GO Launcher EX (Uses way less RAM than stock launcher)

Okay so I would love to say that I came up with this setup all by myself but I cannot. Since I am the proverbial forum troll on XDA I ran across a thread started by Xenova that helped me get to where I am now with my phone. Thanks Xenova. Here is a link to his thread if you want more detailed information.

This post and generally, the thread I started here, is specific to the Thrill 4G. I downloaded and installed Autokill Memory Optimizer from the market. I just picked up the free version because it has the features I needed to use anyway without upgrading to the paid version. I think the name of the app. is fairly self-explainatory. It actively, automatically kills:

1) Foreground Apps.

2) Visible Apps.

3) Secondary Server

4) Hidden Apps.

5) Content Provider junk

6) Empty Apps.

The app. allows you to set a value of when you want the app. to kill the respective process based on the value being the amount of RAM usage thresholds. Categories 1, 2, and 3 you cannot change if you use the free version of this app. I don't think it is really anything worth messing with in the first place. That is of course just my opinion. The last three categories is what we will focus on and the values that I set for each one.

Hidden Apps. I set to [200]

Content Provider I set to [225]

Empty Apps. I set to [250]

There are other settings in this app as well but for the sake of sparing you another novel I will let you discover those yourself. If you have questions that my post and Xenova's does not answer feel free to post them here. Xenova's thread is more in depth than this one because again I am just talking about our Thrills where as he is giving tips and tricks that can work on any device.

Okay not to leave out GO Launcher EX here is the deal with this launcher that I discovered to be very nice. First, I love the fact that this launcher is not a RAM hog like a lot of other launchers. It takes very little to run this guy and there are a ton of themes and customization options; which I am all about. The other reason I am mentioning this particular launcher is one, I am using it and two it has a built in task killer. When you open up your app. drawer you will see that there are 3 tabs listed;

1) All

2) Recent or (History)

3) Running

When you tap the "Running" tab there is a button to tap that says:

Close All Programs

Free/Total Memory: (However Much Memory You Have Available here)​

All you do is tap that button and it kills any little remaining apps. on the fly that the Optimizer has not gotten to yet. The nice thing about it too is that it then tells you how much actual memory you have available to run your stuff with. It is accurate too because I checked by going into the system applications and saw that the two values in each location matched up. For example: Right this moment as I am posting this I have 282M of RAM available. What does that equate too? Less battery usage because less things are running using RAM on your phone. So just using Autokill and GO Launcher EX I consistently have available between 256 and 280M and at times upwards of 302M. The very highest I have seen yet was 314M and that was after a reboot of the phone. So, what else does this all equate to? Speed. This thing was fast before, but now it is like lightning. So what is my average amount of battery life since doing this?

13H 42M Since unplugged.

This is with moderate to heavy usage including gaming on wifi. Games like Adrenaline 6 HD 3D, Order and Chaos online, etc. A dramatic improvement over what I was getting. Like some of you have posted about getting an extended life battery or one with a mAH that is higher than the stock; maybe try this out first before you drop the dough on another battery because as it stands right now I don't think I need one. Hehe. I hope this information helps some of you.
