The RAM cleaning apps are a waste of time(In my opinion), they will only make your device faster for a few seconds after cleaning.

But if your device is rooted then you can use:

[URL =" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113150"]CrossBreeder[/URL], it is made to reduce UI lag but people generally use it on custom ROMs(As far as I know).

[URL =" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155737" ]Greenify[/URL], It is a great app, it works best if your device is rooted and [URL =" http://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053"]Xposed Framework[/URL] is installed but non rooted devices will also do.

I know those two, maybe someone else can provide you with better options.

Other than installing performance enhancing apps you could also try to uninstall useless apps to make your device faster and if you're rooted then uninstalling useless bloatware is also a good option.

Also you could delete useless data on your internal and external storage (Some people say that it helps).

Hope you find it useful[emoji4]

What is gapps????
[General Questions and Answers] :
The word "Gapps" is a combination of the two words "Google" and "Apps". Google Apps are the apps that come with most Android devices out of the box, like the Android Market/Google Play, Gmail, Talk, Hangouts, et cetera.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Gapps, short for Google Apps(I believe).

Generally custom ROMs don't come with Google apps like Google play, play services, Google+, etc.

So what you would usually do after installing a custom ROM on your device, you download a gapps zip package (easily available on net) and flash it through recovery to get those apps and sync your device with Google.

Can I get a link to the page where you followed the instructions from?

And by the way, about no Google play on your phone:
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I'll add that Google charges manufacturers a licensing fee to include Google services (Play, etc) on their devices. That's how they make their money on a free, open-source operating system (and why cheap Chinese devices don't have Play). That's also why custom ROMs don't include them.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
I knew that there were some licencing issues but didn't know that money was involved.

Thank you for sharing that.

Ok so im new to developing and i want to experiment on my old galaxy player 4.0 (intl) so i plan to flash G1XXKPQ onto it using odin but i constantly hear ppl talking about bootloop sadly its volume buttons dont work (no recovery mode )so ive been wondering if there is any precautions i can take to avoid bootlooping, are there any?

Would factory resetting the phone before flashing the rom help??

Or can someone teach me how to factory reset from a pc??
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Well I don't think that you can actually physically increase any one of them but here's what I think you can do:

To increase your internal storage(for apps) you can repartition the internal storage on your device, so you actually don't increase the storage but rearrange it so that you could install more apps without insufficient storage error(I assume that's why you're looking forward to increase your internal storage). And obviously it'll leave you with less space for media on internal storage(or vice-versa).

For RAM, well again no way to physical increase it(that I know of) but you can reserve some SWAP memory on your external SD card(again by repartitioning it with help of some software) that would fill in for the lack of RAM. Although a 2 GB SWAP partition can't work any where near an extra 2 GB RAM but that's all you can do at this point to get some extra RAM.

You'll need to be rooted and you'll need some extra scripts to support SWAP on the phone also you might need .init support.
[General Questions and Answers] curious_user:
Can you teach me for the RAM?
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Well I tried it once on my phone, it worked but I didn't try it ever again and I'm not exactly the teacher type but I guess you could search on Google or on XDA and you'll easily find a guide.

Just try searching something like "create SWAP on android".

Meanwhile, I'll also try to find something nice for you.

Best of luck

Base Rom: official 4.0.4 (build. 587)

Tnx
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
That's probably due to low internal memory or low RAM..

Since you're not rooted, try:

1. Uninstalling unwanted or unused apps

2. Move apps to SD card

3. Using an app to free up RAM (many are available on the Playstore)

4. Clear app caches from time to time

If you do root your phone, try these steps:

1. Uninstall bloatware (system apps installed by Micromax)

2. Change default launcher to a less memory intensive one

3. Use Apps2SD or Link2SD to move apps to your SD card

4. Use swapper to increase your RAM (Caution: can degrade your SD card)

5. Use a custom ROM tweaked for speed and memory (if available)

P.S. Some of these may not be applicable to your phone. In that case, simply skip them. :good:

Try these steps exactly as given and see:

1. Remove the battery for at least 10 seconds then put it back in the phone.

2. Press and hold the volume down button then the power button until the front keys light up. When you press the volume down and power button you have to hold it for 30 seconds.

3. Using the navigation buttons of the qwerty keypad, select each item in the order below:

"Wipe Cache Partition" then press OK

"Wipe Data Factory Reset" , Select Yes, then press OK

"Reboot System Now" then press OK

4. The phone then will reboot. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Hi

I tried looking it up on the internet and I think I might have found something:

https://mega.co.nz/#!L9oC2TKD!1ssKKI_aH_mpkcKWyG_kxqf6oii2-EZucyKvVIQ6vl8

Although, I can't guarantee if it's the right one but it's the only one I've found so far.

Also, I'd recommend that you open the link on a PC because the site seems to have it's own integrated downloader which runs on your browser (beware of any viruses, I've never used this site before)

P.S

I think it's against the rules to link other websites on XDA but it seems to be okay if it's for a download.

If I'm breaking any rules please take my post down.

I want to switch over to F2FS on my Nexus 7 (2012) (grouper) and I'm using TWRP 2.8.6.0. Can someone please tell me if I have this process right, I left anything out or if it's just plain wrong...

1. . Fist using the "Convert to F2FS" spp I converted the latest SlimKat 4.4.4 build 9.0 to F2FS. Place this modded rom and Gapps on external thumb drive.

2. . Next I boot into TWRP recovery.

3. . Next I go to "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe"

4, At the bottom of screen I choose "Format or Fix"

5. . At this point do I format EVERYTHING to F2FS?

6. . Next I go back to the beginning screen and choose "Install"

7. . Then scroll to my external drive and pick. Modded rom and flash

8. . Then scroll to my external drive and pick my Gapps package and flash

9. . Then reboot!

So is this the the right way to go about things. Anything I should be aware of? Also, do I need a modded Gapps package? Please feel free to throw me any pertinent information as it would be greatly appreciated.

obviously not for your device but i believe the kernel also has to support f2fs if i'm reading it correctly. and your recovery may even have to support f2fs also.

(i'm no developer/modder , just from my reading).

also in that thread it states that your internal will be wiped :o

ZIP from TWRP backup

Can anyone give me any information on pulling the files from my TWRP backup so I can make them flashable?

I read that it just needs to be extracted, but when I extract from a 1.4GB file, I only get 256MB of data and none of it is setup like a system would be. I find no apps and no folders containing anything useful.

Is extracting no longer a valid option? Do I need to install some software like the kitchen in order to extract the backup files?

I know this can be done but maybe is not possible on newer TWRP recovery?

I made a full backup minus cache because I want to use the updated apps and replace them in the system with the newer ones and make some other mods and share, but I cannot figure out how to get the info from the backup.

I have

boot.emmc.win (kernel)

data.ext4.win000 (data)

data.ext4.win001 (data)

data.ext4.win002 (data)

system.ext4.win000 (system)

system.ext4.win001 (system)

as well as data.info and system.info and md5's for each of the files.

When I extract or open or any files using 7zip, I get less data than the original file.

for example one of the system files is 1.4GB and when extracted I only see 2 folders and 3 files that total 256MB

res [folder]

META-INF [folder]

resources.arsc

classes.dex

AndroidManifest.xml

Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated but please quote me if you are going to help because this thread is huge and ever growing. I might not see your advice.

Long story short, I want to either extract the whole files from a backup or create a flashable ROM zip from it.

You won't need a custom recovery to flash stock rom.All you need is ODIN.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Okay

I saw the video, so you basically booted into CWM and flashed SuperSU to root your phone.

The command

fastboot boot recovery.img

Lets you boot into the custom recovery without actually flashing it to the device so you can do your business and when you restart the device you're back on stock recovery.

That's also the reason why you can't flash ROMs through the recovery anymore.

(Although I don't know how did the ROMmanager flashed the ROM without a custom recovery, can it do that?)

Anyways,

Bottom line, you need to get a custom recovery.

For that, you can again use

fastboot boot recovery.img

To boot into CWM temporarily and flash SuperSU one again to gain root access.

Or you can use

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

This time to make CWM permanent and then flash the SuperSU to gain root.

Once you do that, you can also flash a gapps package to your custom ROM and you'll get Play store and other Play services.

Although, there's still one problem.

I don't know if the CWM that you used earlier on your 4.2.2 stock ROM is compatible with the 4.4.4 ROM that you're running now.

If it turns out not to be compatible then we'll have to find some other way.
