I need to know what the best software to FREE UP RAM is.

I have TMO MDA, 2.17 TMO Custom Rom

The device says I have around 55% of Free RAM after soft-reset, but as the day winds down and I use programs, go on the internet, activesync etc. The ram goes away, EVEN AFTER I 'STOP ALL PROGRAMS' the ram is down to around 40% or less

How do I lose 15% RAM from soft-reset till then if I'm running no more programs at that point than I was after the soft-reset?

And more importantly HOW DO I RESTORE THIS RAM without a soft-reset...certainly there has to be a program up there that you can execute that will FREE up that HIDDEN/LOST RAM!!

Muchos gracias in advancias ;)

I have a Magician not a Wizard but I guess it happens to any PDA.

By this you mean, using the Task Manager? If yes, I don't have an answer to your question. If no, when programs are closed they are not fully terminated but somehow are in the background.

In any case, try software like SPB Pocket Plus or some 3rd party task managers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fredasleep:
SK tools available from http://s-k-tools.com/ includes a stand-alone utility for freeing RAM. SK tools is not free but there is a trial available.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DJSinCity:
Yes I am using a task manager - Spb Pocket Plus - to completely close these the programs but the RAM is still gone.

I have no clue what to do...anyone?

I had a similar problem where the memory was down to a very low level.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kamirza:
ram eaters

when we are on the net the clutter gets collected in temp memory and cache folders. even using other programs. closing a program is not enough, these have to cleared. inherent soft reset does the job but, is cumbersome , so Sk Tools , Memmaid will do it for you or stand alone software like free up ram, clean ramare examples. hope that answers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Use ClearTemp to remove temporary files, cache files, and other clutter that fills up your storage memory. Use QuickMenu's Hibernate function to clear memory leaks, and use QuickMenu's settings to have programs close on a short tap, and minimize on a long tap. If you just want a stand-alone hibernate program, use Oxios Hibernate (packaged with Closeapps, which closes all running applications).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Some programs (nk.exe, gwes.exe) are system-required, and will experience RAM leaks, especially in home-cooked ROMs. There's little beyond what I've already said that will fix that, other than what you've already discovered: rebooting. It's kind of like expecting your home computer to stay booted indefinitely. If you try it, eventually something is going to happen that will force you to reboot.

So I got my new phone yesterday and decided that I might as well activate the new SIM that came with it, since mine in almost 4 years old, and I didn't upgrade it the last time I got a phone from them.

Well here we are 16 hours later & my phone will still not connect to the network, and my old SIM and been disconnected. So I have no way of making or recieving calls. Before I activated it I tried my old SIM in the 8125 and it worked fine Even without installing any of the Cingular Extended ROMs.

I guess I will have to go into a store latter this afternon and have them work it out.

Also when I went to install ActiveSync It wouldn't let me because I didn't have all of the service packs installed in XP. (I am using an early edition, and keep the updates turned off) so it took 2 hours of downloading and installing updates before I could even sync.

On the up side, I was able to CID unlock it and upgraded to the custom ROM that summiter posted, Installed Reg Wizard, Total Comander, and Weather to Go. I am also able to use WiFi at home.

Next things to do are Get the dam thing on the network, then install a VoIP client so I can use my Broadvoice VoIP on it. then decide on a GPS program and get that going.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks to all of you for giving so much info & Help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
I wouldn't change any thing to do with CID unlocking or the ROM till they fix it. You could end up in one of those situations

You: "it wont make calls."

Them: "you changed the ROM (unlocked cid), that's why it don't work."

You: "Id didn't work before I did that."

Them: "Well it voids your warranty."

You: "but..."

Them: "Bend over, we're drivin'!"

hi TofClock,

this tool dumps only files in the Windows folder, but I need the files from the root.

This files are the databases of the system, the files in the windows folder are the templates for the first boot.

My idea is to use the finished database in a ROM and delete the .dsm files

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Root equals not OTA as described many times. You need counter 0 and original state which you only get by unrooting as far as I know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamza18:
Completely agree with you. Root means it is not stock. The device is modified.

[MENTION=5178346]phaw16[/MENTION] - Every time you will boot into custom recovery, your flash counter will go back to 1. So no point in having or using TriangleAway if you want to stay rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaw16:
Hmm? The question is? How can you use triangle away of you are not rooted?

So you meant you can still use triangle away even if you are not rooted?

Well I dont really care about my warranty all I want is to recieve OTA updates even if my phone is rooted. Thats the main reason why I want my device status to be stock..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hierarchy666:
As far as i know if you're using Custom Recovery. Flash counter would always be 1. Try using Stock Recovery and reset it again.It would go to 0. As far as OTA im not sure i never use it before.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
that depends on the bootloader version. If it is still an old on (I think JB) the counter will stay 0 even if rooted and rebooted. If its a newer version (ICS) and you use a custom recovery, it will be increased to 1 with each reboot.

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

as said, OTA & root is not possible. You can update a rooted device via Kies though (you will loose root when update is applied).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaw16:
Sorry to disappoint you sir but I was able to flash stock firmware 4.3 then flash CF Autoroot while the phone is on official status. If you install busybox or other recovery and kernels thats the only time your phone will detect it as custom. I also downloaded root protection app for google play so that when I recieve ota update I wont lose root :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
In triangle away there is an option under system to allow trackers to run.

This in some cases can get rid of the modified state in the about phone part.

I am not sure whether Gmail.apk is odexed. If so, deodex it first.

Did you add these frameworks at the right place:

framework-res.apk

twframework-res.apk

If you have done everything correctly and if it still not works,

then try to download Gmail.apk from the internet and then try again.
