[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] alwright1980:
I would like to enlist the help of any helpful soul in finding what seems to be bogging down my system. I didn't have any kind of problems with my phone until i got in to android development. Still it is not bigg issues just minor annoyance. I first noticed the problem a few months after I installed Hybrid X 3.0. Coupled with the then current version of plazma. An og5 touchwiz based rom. I did have a good deal of apps on there but nothing that I could readily identify as memory hungry. I generally had about a resting available ram of 775mb to 1.15 gb. I had about 5 gb of available hard drive space available which I assumed was sufficient for letting the device enough room to breathe. I also had a ext4 poartition of about 15gb on my sd card and no swap partition.

The oroblems I have expeienced were not major as I previously stated. I would often run into a delay in scrolling after a swipe, a delay in text appearing and haptic feedback from keyboards., stagnated flow of screen when swipe did register and an annoying popup on everyboot that indicated the device was upgrading and optimizing apps (but no countdown (up)).

What I have tried has been very basic. As i stated I have been using out of box settings in this kernel. (Can you believe the waste of great programming) i haven't ever even run a benchmark. Which is where I am headed after I post this so that I can assist my assisters in assisting me. I HAVE however run reflashed my hybrid x rom after 5x wipes and then reinstalled(or rather restored) my data. Then flashed my plazma. No improvement after days of use. I have tried uninstalling apps to free up space. Nothing. I have tried a stock og5 but deodexed zip of a rom with the same other settings. The most effective thing that I have done though is also the most recent. It was done monents ago and as I type this having had no similar errors I wonder if I have just wasted my time. Presuming that i can still learn from your input I continue. What I did was flashed an OJ6 deodexed debloated rom and instead of reinstalling (restoring my data) i have allwoed my apps to, and that data which will do so, regenerate on its own. Then I flashed my plazma and I now continue to let things restore themselves. I also increased my touch sensitivity through tw enabled features. I did not mention that the reason I have proceeded in posting this after install is that when typing out my account information and stuff when running through initial setup I WAS EXPERIENCING same stuff. Apparently not now. Time will tell. I cannot understand how apps that I don't necessarily use all that much plys the bloatware which doesn't APPEAR active would slow things down so much.

This post is long however and I haven't gone this long without an error in months so I have to presume some measure of success. I would still like to know how to go abiut tweaking things. Especially how to lock down memlry and processor hogging apps without necessarily uninstalking them. Iguess i it would be very hand if I knew that I knew how to identify such apps. Is there an app for that? Any other optimization pointer will be much appreciated thanks in advance. Ffolkes has put enough time and effort into development to beasked to explain i detail how to exploit that into which he put so much effort.

Thanks
