HOW TO KEEP RAM CLEAN AND KEEP YOUR PHONE BUTTER SMOOTH :

The phone MUST be fully rooted and all the recommended applications isntalled. They can be easily found on the Google Play. Links are provided for reference. In this guide I have used all the PRO (paid) applications. The Free versions will do fine but It is expected that some options are disabled in the free version. You can help developers by your contribution to their work

ADVANCED TASK KILLER

Advanced task manager is used to kill tasks running in the background.

Add advanced task killer widget to your home screen. Every time you need to kill background applications, just tap it once. This way all the applications in the background are periodically killed and thus, more RAM is available to your system and thus increased performance.

GREENIFY[ROOT]:

This application/system basically looks for applications running in the background. These background processes might slow down system. Furthermore, these increase the battery usage and reduce battery time. Greenify detects the background applications and hibernates them. This not only speeds up the phone but also saves battery.

SICK OF BLOATWARE?

TITANIUM BACKUP [ROOT]

Titanium backup is used for backing up your applications and system files. This can also DELETE applications from your ROM permenantly.

I recommend you make a backup with Titanium backup before uninstalling the files. REMEMBER, IF YOU UNINSTALL A SYSTEM FILE, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH YOUR ROM and you will end up in BOOTLOOP.

I will paste a screenshot to tell you which applications can be deleted easily.

OTHER SETTINGS :

Go to your settings>developers tools> background limit> use as less as you want. THIS WILL INCREASE USER EXPERIENCE

HOW TO SWAP EXTERNAL MEMORY & INSTALL AS MANY GAMELOFT GAMES AS YOU WANT

Many of you are having problems installing many games in your internal memory and can only utilise 4 gb of your memory. This means only 3 gameloft games. Thus I will briefly help you with memory issues related to Xperia M4

This one is very easy. Install Folder Mount and it will do the rest. Remember with free version, you can only mount 3 folders. The application is frequently updated and it has great support for Xperia M4.

Basically this application creates a link folder in your SD card which is detected by games automatically once fully setup. It also moves your files into your SD card and this saves your EXTERNAL MEMORY FULLY. You can install as many games or applications and link them to your SD card. Its that simple.

Use App analyzer option to mount folders. Manual folder mounts are not recommended!

Go to app analyzer>Select Game> Creat pair(s)>Move files as well> Mounted

Make sure Folder Mount is ticked green before running games.

INTERNAL MEMORY PROBLEMS

Internal memory not adding up? Unknown files hogging your space.

This can be managed by SD MAID and TITANIUM BACKUP.

With SD Maid, you can free a lot of space. It has many cool features. I use the Corpse finder and System cleaner, App Cleaner.

You may also try app cleaner if you like.

Go to CORPSE FINDER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.

SYSTEMCLEANER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.

TITANIUM BACKUP IS USED TO RELOCATE THE MEMORY THAT IS MISSING.

Titanium backup> MENU > clean up the dalvik cache

This will also give you back some INTERNAL MEMORY BACK.
