Forcing my way to do the "trim", with lagfix, twrp commands, etc, I finally managed... to almost brick my phone (Motologo, not even a blue led, had to flash a sbf all over again). I think i'll stop experimenting it

It's a 479MB RAM device, and without the "low memory" option I rarelly go under 200Mb free and it is AFAIK not natural for an android system to have always at least 40% RAM free.
Besides, I didn't notice any drastic boost associated with this great amount of free ram (apps are still closed even with that much free ram)
I think there are 2 ways to see it :
Either the "free RAM" indicator isn't actually accurate and is completly bogus.
Or the "low memory" option, when disabled, makes android kill everything very fast because it expects to have 200MB free at any given time (which means 20% on a 1GB system, that wouldn't be unusual).
So, either way, enabling "low memory" would be best, because I don't think that having android kill all background tasks is a good thing.
