Very laggy phone due to a simple live wallpaper on Samsung Galaxy J5 - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy J5, I installed slim live wallpapers in my phone, but they make the system ui and locker lag a lot.. This problem I did not experience in a phone with lower specs and price (Samsung Galaxy Core 2), with 512 mb ram. I have 1.5 GB Ram in J5 but still it lags a lot.. Another thing which I noticed is that, in j5 the same live wallpaper uses about 100 or 150 mb of ram but in my core 2 it uses only 30 to 40 mb of ram.. It might be a cause of lag ? The System UI in J5/J7 (2015) is very laggy. I flashed cm 12.1 in j5 and tried same live wallpaper and it used only 50 or 60 mb of ram and the phone was very very smooth.. no lag at all..
Is ther anyway how to fix this ?
Best Regards,

It all caused by the launcher. I think that touchwiz in lollipop it is not verry good optimized. Try another launcher or update to 6.0 1 and report back the results.

launcher redraw >.<

guys my friend have s3 with the orginal sammy rom with latest update for our country and i used his phone played with it for like some hours but when opening any app launcher will closed wtf i feel its phone from like 2 or 3 yeras even my s1 never redraw launcher with opening many apps samsung what r u doing with ram management it sooooooooo ****y ram management now touch wiz become heavier than sense who said now touch wiz is so light on ram no its not the device have 780 ram as i know and wtf free ram only 190 or 200 my s1 with cm9 or aokp or sammy rom always have between 180 -150 with 5 apps on back ground
sorry guys but i'm really so sad for what sammy did on the software
sorry i thought its galaxy s3 international forum (its for us version ):silly:
please mod delete thread :cyclops:
780mb total ram? Looks like that's the international GS3 with the exynos quad + 1GB. While 1GB is more than enough for gingerbread it's not enough for ICS. Members with the US versions here have 2GB and do not have this problem. Please post in this forum instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1564
If you use Apex launcher there is an option in the advanced section where you can keep the launcher in memory to reduce redraws which might help

I disagree that 1GB is not enough for Android 4.0. It actually runs really well on my Vibrant with 380MB, but more RAM is appreciated when quickly switching between many applications (rare).
However, I have not run into problems with TouchWiz closing down on my U.S. variant. My first guess is that your friend installed some sort of app manager that kills background processes. This kind of program was absolutely necessary in Android 2.0, but the problem was mostly fixed in 2.1 and completely gone in 2.2. These days, it primarily results in poor user experience and, sometimes, noticeably lower battery life. I don't have proof that your friend did this, but the odds are very good.
I've seen this on both us and international versions both with ram to spare some devs in the i9300 section seemed to get it smooth no issues at all

RAM usage on stock ROM

Hello,
I have question about free RAM in stock ROM (Gingerbread) on my Motorola Defy+. I have only about 60MB free of 512MB. Is that normal? And how much MB have you free on your Motorola Defy/+? And sometimes Android is little bit laggy and I think that could be because of low free memory. And also is there some way to lock launcher to never close? Sometimes happens that launcher process exit during playing 3D games and some applications. And when I close app/game it takes so long to redraw all screens+widgets on launcher (4screens, 10widgets + 8shortcuts). Thank you so much for any reply :good:

android is linux based and linux utilizes most of the memory available, so having around 60MB free ram is not bad at all. i have 70-80 mostly on cm10, and my os is running smooth.
there are a few launchers (e.g. launcherpro) that can be locked into memory, but that does not guarantee that it wont be stopped during a high ram consuming app running (3d apps).
if you are rooted i advise you to try the v6 supercharger script, which is the best memory manager there is imo, makes your phone smoother and more lag-free.

[Q] How to improve multitasking?

Hey guys I´ve got my nexus 4 for now 4 days and i absolutely love it.. I think that the back glass got improved in the second batch ( I´m using no bumper or something just the stock phone and allready dropped in two times, once in the snow, and not a single scratch or something like this on the screens ) but there is one thing that is quiete anoying...
So allthough this phone has 2gb of ram it only uses ~ 560 mb for multitasking.. if this limit is reached it will start to kill applications.
After opening a bunch of applications to test multitasking and realized that the apps allready got killed, I oppened the app manager in settings and saw what about 1.2 gb of ram are unused.
So my question is:
Can the rest of the ram can be used for multitasking too?
Which settings have to be tweaked to use the rest of the ram?
PS: Of course I´m rooted and I´m on stock rom!
Anybody?
Never heard of V6 Supercharger with its multitasking mods?!

Why are all browsers on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime feels lag, heavy, and sluggish?

I use Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530H, rooted with KingRoot and overclocked to 1.094 GHz - 1.19 GHz, interactive, cfq. It has 1.3 GB free memory and around 200 MB free RAM. Device cache is routinely cleared. Unnecessary apps have been removed. Basically, every browser from the heavy resources Chrome to the lightweight Opera Mini would lag even after clearing history and cache. What's causing it and how to fix it? (Also tell me what information I should give to better examine the cause since I'm new to this forum)

Ram Enhancement of the s7 edge

Is there a real build prop tweaks to improve ram management??? Why don't developer's make some changes to their Kernels to improve ram management over the stock ? I know s7 edge can compite against heavy ram management device's like one plus 3 or iPhone 7 plus!

Haven't had any issues here with my ram management so far. I'm on Renovate Note latest build and everything goes well, no app crash, no lag, etc.
How bad are your ram management?

Well I mean I'm using a custom Kernel call super stock Kernel I'm running king rom V13.0 but I would like to have every apps active in the background with no reopen because we have a 4gb of ram device this could easily hold every apps you throw at it but It doesn't! So that's what in talking about my s7 edge can hold like 7 or 8 but I would like to take more than 13 kind of
