Well, so, adding freq's is on the "not"to-do list :p

I tried reverting the commit, but still, no use :( Here's from the logs:

and the couple of other apps which are auto-initalized at startup... Note: only necessary lines copy-pasted...

The cause for this, might lay somewhere else :fingers-crossed:

Hmm... Camera has been fixed. Refer to this commit for changes: https://github.com/minicm4pico/android_packages_apps_Camera/commit/2cced2ed716cc970ae148fcaf2be98aef94b5b7e

But in case you are saying to backport cm10.2 camera, then, that should be on the to-do list :D

edit:

reverted joilaroi's commit (the lowmemkiller from 3.4 kernel),

wildly kanged from the cm10.2 build.prop,

# Dalvik
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
ro.zram.default=0
ro.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=7
sys.mem.max_hidden_apps=7

dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold=500
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.25

and removed these lines from init.pico.rc:

# Define the memory thresholds at which the above process classes will
# be killed. These numbers are in pages (4k).

setprop ro.CONTENT_PROVIDER_MEM 7680
setprop ro.EMPTY_APP_MEM 8192

And, data-wipe, reboot, I see some apps being closed...

which means, that both dalvik settings and kernel's playing a role in this...

currently getting ~200 MB free memory :)

But still, cached processes show Media, Android Core Apps, Trebuchet, Voice Dialer, Gallery, Search, Package Access Helper :(

edit: tried again with the lowmemkiller commit, getting ~190 MB free...
