Thumbs up Solution for lagging when opening applications

AndroidCantral wrote yesterday an article about fine tuning android multi-tasking
about fine tuning android multi-tasking. They show a small tutorial to free some space using a MinFreeManager application.

Application discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=5529436

I have tried this application in the aggressive preset setting and Galaxy was much faster and snippier with opening applications. It's running now for a day without any problems so far..

You do need root the Galaxy first!

Have anybody else tried this app?

Default getting rid of the lag

Memory management helps (I use autokiller) but what really solved this annoyance
was moving the applications' data to the NAND (see http://android.modaco.com/content/sa...oted-try-this/)
Its like a completely different device

One caveat is that the size of the NANDs is limited so you better know what you're doing and make sure that your /data/data dir is small enough to fit there

I am nervous about doing this since android is not designed that way. until paul or someone comes up for a fix so you dont have to reinstall os if you go over the limit.

What kind of data is that? Does this include mails, contacts, appointments, games save data?
