To find out if Link2SD works, I recommend to search thread.

Restoring apps should not be a problem, as long as you do not restore any system-data. Only WiFi-Access-Points should work fine, because both Roms are based on Gingerbread.

4EXT-Recovery has under wipe-menu the option to wipe everything except SD card (FAT32-partition).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitoski:
Hello all XDA devs and users!

I've decided to run a new thread becasue recently a few users (including me) had a discussion about low free RAM available on our ICS roms and kernels (different ones i.e. Infinitum + Devil kernel, CM9 and others).

What I have found on my devices after running a couple of days without restart I end up with 40 - 50 MB of free ram with Devil XL kernel (389 MB), where the other users with similar configuration have more than 100 MB.

I know that some of you might say, this is how the Android handles the RAM and that is good when most of the memory is consumed. I would totally agree with that however when there is around 40-50 MB left, the phone starts to perform slower and starting another app result in lags.

I do not want to use any task killers because what I have read, they simply do not work well with android (see rule above).

Maybe some of you have an experience or knowledge, why on some devices there is more than 130 MB of RAM left even if there are 8 - 9 apps running (i.e. services) - after couple of days and on some others there is only 40-50 and phone lags more and more.

You can flash Semaphore Kernel sbm, it gives 410MB of RAM, the HD recording gets broken but i think its a good sacrifice for a good performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitoski:
Yes I can but the point is that the more available RAM will be eventually taken by the system at the end of the day. Increasing more RAM by the kernel will not help here. Right now I have Devil with 389 so only 20 mb less than with semaphore but still more as with the default kernel.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJustin:
I notice this as well. You have to either run a Rom that includes a low memory killer, e.g. aokp. Or you need to use a kernel where you can set the lmk, e.g. semaphore. I think if you don't do either of the above, the default free ram is around 45-50mb. I am using aokp with midnight kernel at the moment, with free ram set to 75 mb free.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidboss7:
Ok i reckon the best way to improve RAM and system memory is by using this tweak.

I have around 120mb also and multitask around up to 4-5 apps without it closing.

I use ICS btw.

Ok go to google or XDA search and type supercharger, follow instructions and Wolla, U should have about 120mb of RAM all the time.

If that is to hard for you here is a simply method. Go to Play Store and type RAM manager (PRO). there is a free version but its not that good. Trust me the PRO version is way better, buy the app and use it!

It is really good!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitoski:
THX guys for all concepts and advices!

After a couple of tests and research I've done so far there is one method that simply works perfect for our SGS devices.

No matter how much free RAM you push from the kernel (THX to all DEVS for BM kernels) we will not have enough free RAM for the hardware our phones have. I my opinion SAMSUNG simply f**** up here and gave not enough RAM for the phone that can act so fast and handle pretty resource hungry apps and games:((

I have used 'Supercharger' script extensively when I was on GB Roms. It did pretty good job, nevertheless you always end up in the situation where more RAM is needed. In this case 'Android' (LMK) kills running or buffered apps to make new rom for the app you started.

Some time ago I have compared GS2 with GS1 against RAM. The key thing why S2 works so well is amount of RAM. Even if the system is loaded and RAM reserved for GPU and sensors the S2 has at least 500 MB FREE, which we will not have never...

SOLUTION:

The solution I have found (in fact it was not me, I simply started to using it) is SWAP. Recently one of the greatest kernel devs (DerTeufel1980) here on XDA published his kernel (Devil v0.79) with SWAP option enabled. If you create a partition or file with apps from Google Play store (like the pagefile in MS Win) you have more RAM (not physically, but still apps are being loaded into swap file).

I was doing some tests few minutes ago and got that:

- 10 tabs opened in ICS+ browser (each was unique - not Google search):)

- Any.DO

- QuickAccess

- PowerAmp

- Snowstorm

And I could access every single app quicker than ever before. In fact I could not start 10 tabs in web browser not to kill launcher before or any other app I had buffered in RAM.

For those of you who are wondering if that is a good solution I can say that you should try it. If you do not like it will not use it and stay with kernel and LMK you have now.

I am happy with that so far and of course will do some more tests.

Autostarts

I use an app called Autostarts which you can purchase in google play store. What it does it stops apps from starting up on there own, you wont believe how many apps start up when they are not needed e.g - when you plug the charger in Google Mapps will start up in the background or when Wi-fi is switched on the calender will start up and run in the background, why??? i havnt got a clue but with Autostarts you can pick and choose which apps you want to start or not. I've used it for the past 8 - 12 months and i cant fault it one bit. I'm on AOKP Milestone 5 SGS at the mo and i always have between 170mb & 210mb of Ram availible because i stop uneccessary apps from starting up

i'm using ics with many running service as i can,and i never get lower than 80...gtalk,viber,Y!,any.do,gesture search,and so on...

1-first of all,try NOT to kill useful and auto restart-able apps like the ones u use sometime your widgets of course!;in my case it includes viber,facebook,any.do...

cause in every restart android lost a little of ram,and it cant recover that anymore

2-try disabling location service and force close google maps(if you've installed),it really helped me!

3-try "auto start manager" apps

4-use system tuners and tune ur ram auto kill levels.

i've tested many combinations and found 16,32,40,50,50,80 with GB 2.3.4 acting nice to me,but now i have 14,19,24,32,37,50 on ics 4.0.3 CGen.Mod and i had no problem so i didn't bother myself to test any other combination
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malcanthet:
Rebooting doesn't really help. Limiting background processes or ReChild's Advanced Task Killer as an easy solution. 400mb kernel and/or force closing/disabling apps, clearing cache if you know what you're doing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash608:
Small refresh of the topic.

On JB (Paranoid Android 2.54 - Cyjanogen mod 10) the situation is quite similar to ICS. The are two processes using high amount of RAM after 24+ hours:

android.process.acore - after reboot around 30MB, after 24+ even more than 100MB

system - after reboot around 40MB, after 24+ much more than 100MB (right now 133MB :sick:)

So after reboot I have around 250-300MB RAM free and after 24+ around 120MB and less when running some apps (opera, google play etc.)

I`ve tried diferent things/apss and the only one that makes a change is app called "System Panel". It`s mainly a task killer with option to log every app used memory/CPU due time (it makes nice graphs of it).

It has an option to "End all" apps, where you can choose what apps to end:

- Inactive

- Background

- Active

- Excluded

- System Apps

It doesn`t close all the apps (like the two processes mentioned before :( ) but it does free some amount of RAM in my example I get 200+MB free. Test by yourself.

Btw on GB (2.3.6) I didn`t have to use any taskkiller cause i didn`t have RAM problem (most of the time more than 150MB free) so i guess the IC/JB is using more RAM to make you buy newer phone like SGS3/Note 2... problem is SGS3 international is 1GB RAM only like SGS2 :/ Maybe my next fone will be Optimus G? ;)

P.S. sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
Hey all!

I have some problems on my Galaxy Nexus GSM Phone!

The problem(s) are:

Bad Battery life, uses too much battery.. :S

sometimes WiFi signal jumping from 2 to 4

I have tested many ROMs but still same problem..

I have changed baseband radio many times!

I have changed Kernel 3 times!

trinity or what it is, it's not good for my GSM GN and then I flashed Franco kernel that is OK, CMtuna was OK but I wanna use it when it is more stable.. :)

When I bought Galaxy Nexus then all was fine but I didn't get any updates so I flashed to custom ROM...

(I'm using stock 4.0.4 ROM and I changed XXLA2 to XXKK6)

Anybody can help? I need help quickly! :) Thanks if you can help!

GSM GN, I bought it from Finland and I live in Finland so which is the best baseband for my GSM GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
1. Looks like screen eats out all your battery, are you using it at 100% brightness? As for kernels, i'd recommend using stock one. Currently i'm testing Franco M3 and battery seem to drain out a bit faster if compared to stockc IMM76D kernel.

2. If signal never drops actually - just ignore it.

Edit. I just noticed you're using nightly kernel with 512MHz frequency on GPU... Looks like you're messing with stuff you have no clue about. Insane overclocking and good battery life is something from hard to imposible to achieve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK, I can't find stock kernel (I haven't found yet), I just tested the newest nightly kernel and whatever what ROM I use, what baseband radio I use and Kernel I use them will not make really much difference, still battery goes empty too fast! :/

I keep WiFi all the time on, I'll newer turn it off when it's available to use WiFi, I never use 3G or 2G..

on ZTE Blade CM7, battery stays 1/2 days in 90% and it's using WiFi all the time..

Brightness is in 100% :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I flashed GN-GSM Gybrid 3.0.29 kernel!

It works and anybody know is this good for GSM GN Battery? so I mean does it use so much battery as usually modified kernels uses? :D

just flashed and performance might be a little bit better, about battery I don't know yet! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
And what is your screen on time? With 100% brightness you can use any kernel/ROM you want, nothing will help.

Edit: added stock, insecured IMM76D kernel (made by Revoked). Don't forget to wipe Cache/Dalvik-cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK Thanks!

5 hours 51min

Screen:74%, screen was on 1 hour 45min 51 secs

with tuna kernel 3.0.24 in 16 minutes battery has used more than 6%...

I don't understand why my Battery drains too fast, I have no Idea how to fix!

any kernel, baseband or other ROM will not help!

and I can't find information about the right baseband radio for europe: Finnish/Estonia (other north countries)...

:/

I have to go soon to store to check out what is the baseband radio what GN uses in Finland!

Thanks really much for helping me! :)

EDIT: I'll flash this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1625700&highlight=stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Why would you use so outdated ROM (4.0.1)? :eek: I'd suggest you to download and flash latest IMM76I image from Google, it will update bootloader (to PRIMELA03) and baseband (XXLA02) is well. This would wipe your phone, so don't forget to make a backup of your all internal storage.

OR

You could try this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1586807&highlight=imm76d and then manually flash XXLA02 baseband. Doing so would not wipe your phone.

And i'll repeat myself: no ROM/Kernel/Baseband will help you to save battery as much as reducing screen brightness would.

Is that normal the templerun game lags little bit on 4.0.4 IMM761 with stock kernel +and baseband is XXLA2!

Hey guys what kernel you recommend for my Galaxy Nexus GSM? :D

(not nightly, milestone..)

I'll try other baseband radio soon, first I have to charge battery to full and then to wipe battery data..

EDIT:

I changed wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=15 to wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150 to save battery + soon I add little bit more tweaks to save battery.. :)

EDIT2:

How I can make flash able .zip file to change build.prop?

can somebody tell me how! ? :D (I replaced build.prop via Es file explorer)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
With Stock 4.0.4 ROM (using stock kernel, XXLA2 baseband Radio) + tweaked build.prop to improve battery life.. IMM76I

I still haven't solve the problem..

in 2 minutes without charging 1% less..

So Please tell me which is the most stable with the best battery life Kernel + What baseband radio is worth to test (Europe, can be America too?)

Please help me to solve the problem then I do not bother here anymore.. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
I would suggest going back to the roots. Charge the GNex to 100%, boot into CWM and delete battery stats, use your phone until the battery completely dies. Charge to full 100% and repeat the cycle a couple of times.

The battery should get calibrated by then.

I'm using Android Rev. HD ROM, and while it has its issues, its mostly stock with stock kernel and the best battery life I could imagine. But then again, I keep my screen at Auto Brightness! :P

Hope that you can solve your problem, 'cause it really is a beast of a phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
I repeat this third and last time. Do not use 100% screen brighness, otherwise battery will suffer badly. There is no ROM/kernel/baseband/magicians that would ADD extra power into the battery. Some kernels might offer little bit improved battery life, but this improvement is nothing if compared to amount of power that screen eats at max. brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I have made all things that can make battery to work and now I know why battery sucks, because of wrong baseband and there is no right for my GSM,WCDMA + WiFi GN Titanium Silver!

any other things does not help! :/
