Because even i tested it, and if i have 80MB free or 20MB free (yes X10 has low memory...) it still feels the same... Why should it perform worse when the RAM used up will be cleared if needed..<br /><br />And noone is talking about cooked roms, I haven't got there yet (with the "tutorial"). And I doubt that majority uses cooked roms, as they are bad (worse camera quality, instabile, bugs here and there, etc. OFC performance is way better than stock). - tested about 20 and still running stock modded.norbi_nwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363969270859681127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832334356384992308.post-18785056538694306842011-10-22T12:48:03.326+03:002011-10-22T12:48:03.326+03:00Problem is, Norbi, that specific processes are bei...Problem is, Norbi, that specific processes are being restarted IF YOU ARE USING THE STOCK ROM! As in NOT a custom one.<br /><br />Take HTC for example. It's got the Sense interface that includes FriendStream, Wheather and different stuff. All these, racked up, consume up to 400 MB of RAM. If you kill those processes, they are being restarted.<br /><br />Now take Cyanogen for example. It ain't got bloatware that sticks themselves to the RAM == no processes restarted. Well, there are some exceptions : People, Maps if you have it, Gmail in some cases...<br /><br />And anyway, it doesn't really matter whether you have 1 GB of RAM and just 512 MB available. It has been said that no matter how much RAM available you have, it still consumes energy... so you may have 800 MB free or 50, it consumes the same... unless some processes are actually doing work in the background (no CPU kill).<br /><br />Not killing apps by yourself == less free RAM == lower performance (since it begins to stutter).Raduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353660827619184067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832334356384992308.post-92172284920401845212011-10-21T21:10:21.921+03:002011-10-21T21:10:21.921+03:00This is why I never installed any on my Android.
