[Nexus 5 Android Development] chairshot215:
Just out of curiosity because there are a decent amount of Memory Leek Fixes. Not that some sill don't remain as lollipop has some memory problems. Most insanely minor not all being key have a few questions if still using Rom. Sad part i with Linux Kernel having half your reprocess still available can be a bad thing. Would expect a few 100 more MB before needing to start killing off apps. In just about every article I have read with someone from Google stating that most major memory leaks have already been fixed directly or indirectly with new commits being made in AOSP had also mentioned bugs in the alarm system. Don't understand the system myself enough to explain but have read enough “not talking about the clock app” references to think either 90 percent of mobile phone articles are for the most part like clip art in that they find an article on the web make a copy and then change up a few lines or no one reads any other reports or story and everyone just writes the same artificial thinking they have created something original. Anyhow in short they have bugs in the system that decides when and what apps should or need to be closed that remain mostly still addressed. If you think about it with how Linux handles memory to start killing off apps with one of two gigs of memory is waisting perfectly good memory. With Android though can see a two possible if that reasons for wanting to keep the extra memory available. First is from what I understand a decent amount of that memory is used for temporary caching so still have better multi tasking than the competition but also adds the appearance of speed. Comparable with how apple dedicates most of its resources to the task at hand. Honestly if not knowing better how many people would notice a few apps stopped running in the background. If IOS use teaches us anything the answer its not very many. Other argument made is that fewer processes with less tasks would consume less power. Otherwise the questions if they can be answered may be helpful. Honestly I cheat as have been running my Starship Kernel that includes both a few extra memory leak fixes a different readahead value and Low Memory Killer optimizations. Honestly this is because I purchased a decent pricey BT headset that has not worked since my Nexus 7 took the first Kit-Kat update but sound better than they ever had using this Rom and Starship Kernel. Not that I had gone crazy with the Kernel. I first applied the half page of optimizations out of two pages of the Starship KK Kernel that had not been applied to the Lollipop Kernel as some had for the most part been very commonly used commits used in just about every kernel going and others that just did not work with lollipop. After that started on the first round of Linux version increment patches until reaching a point I started after adding 5 Linux version increments would and then choose a category like say the scheduler and focus on finding the best but less intrusive scheduler optimizations I possibly could that worked across the board in both the stock and CM Kernels. Nothing crazy as I sometimes think some custom Kernels go a little overboard adding in as much as they can squeeze often making some noticeable some not so much compromises like say speed for battery or battery for small errors so tried to keep it slim but effective. Would then work on the next 5 Linux version patches and again choose an area or category and on to the next until at the moment reaching 3.4.36. So enough with the shameless Kernel Plug and questions I would be very interested in knowing the answers.

I read in the log that it looks for kernel low memory handling more than have seen in previous versions of Android. S the actual question is are you running a custom Kernel or the Stock AOSP Kernel?

If you on average looking at the running app section in settings or use an app that provides the same info how much is used up by is the system vs user applications?

I am generally in the 700 – 800mb range with most apps running being user with say at the moment 113 system vs 403 user. Opening Facebook turned that into 124 system vs 603

. DO you see many apps open like Facebook starting out the bat but in general running in the 191mb of ram category?

Do you notice many if any apps other then Facebook using over 100 mb?

About ow Many apps are running when reaching the into the 900mb used memory area?

What Gapps package are you using? Is it closer to full on stock gapps or a micro minimum package?

Well remember having more but dozed off a bit why writing so am going to post and ask a few more adding in the morning. That is if you don't mind and still running the Rom.
