5.1.1 Ram management fix

[Chord_Hugo87]

Pre-req:
-Root
-some type of editor, if you are using root explorer it will have it own editor
-Decent knowledge of android file system

so in an attempt to fix this multitasking/Ram issue that is plaguing Samsung devices. I have come up with a fix for our devices (with the help of @mikeyinid)

1. open up root explorer
2.Navigate to /system
3.open up build.prop (keep in mind the file permission of the file, after you done editing you will have to change the file permision back rw-r-r)
4. paste in the following line at the bottom of your build.prop

ro.config.fha_enable=true
ro.sys.fw.use_trim_settings=true
ro.sys.fw.empty_app_percent=50
ro.sys.fw.trim_empty_percent=100
ro.sys.fw.trim_cache_percent=100
ro.sys.fw.bservice_enable=true
ro.sys.fw.bservice_limit=5
ro.sys.fw.bservice_age=5000
ro.sys.fw.trim_enable_memory=2147483648

2147483648 is the ammount of ram in bytes. so in this case 2gig

Check for the following

ro.config.dha_cached_max=
ro.config.dha_empty_max=
ro.config.dha_th_rate=
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=

and delete them. I dont think it would be in there since 5.1.1 utilized FHA instead of DHA




5. edit the following line

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=256m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.50
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=4m
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=16m

ro.hwui.texture_cache_size=72
ro.hwui.layer_cache_size=48
ro.hwui.r_buffer_cache_size=8
ro.hwui.path_cache_size=32
ro.hwui.gradient_cache_size=1
ro.hwui.drop_shadow_cache_size=6
ro.hwui.text_small_cache_width=1024
ro.hwui.text_small_cache_height=1024
ro.hwui.text_large_cache_width=2048
ro.hwui.text_large_cache_height=2048

save and make sure to check permission reboot....follow up, so far so good for me .

Thank You

It's wonderfully working on Note5 moreover it also resolves reloading in chrome ... Thanks man ... Keep it up

[imfaraz]

Nah man ... it's working and it's working at its best ... i tried other ram management fix but that didn't fix chrome reload but it does.

LOL losing wannaty to fix what the dumbass Samsung developer team broke its been +5 months and they didnt fixed the issue with S6 and Note 5 came with more RAM and still the same **** i would rather not to buy a mobile with +700$ with broken software that aint gonna fixed
but thank you OP anyway

......so u dint buy it?

What exactly does this change? I see the values, but could you explain it in a way a techie-layman like myself would understand? I see certain values affecting different caches, and raises certain thresholds for the system to maintain programs in the RAM? Is this raising the limits set by default so the system isn't killing things too early?

My main concern with this would be how it could affect battery life. It's my biggest gripe with the phone at the moment.

 

[Chord_Hugo87]

Tbh
I am not 100% sure, this is all based on looking at Mikeyinid thread and taking a look at the LG G4 build.prop to see if there is any changes. I put it in, if it work, it work, if it doesnt, wouldn't create any harm. I do not see differences in battery. The affect seems positive to me. YMMV

Seems like you could use a hug, or a sledgehammer to the shin. Or chin. If you don't have anything useful to say then keep your mouth shut and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

Ram management sucks. Not sure how much longer I will stand it. Prolly until new nexus comes out. Love everything else about this phone.

What's your problem? I think what he wrote is true Samsung is slacking off but then again they where never good at software

Lol some of these take the phone too seriously and get very offended if somebody points out flaws

You have been complaining about this since the S6. Why would you even get the Note 5 knowing this to begin with? And why stand it any longer? You have been very vocal about it and there are many other devices to choose from. Seems like you need to move on, no?

why cant he complain, he own the device, it is a problem. He has the right to complain and Samsung need to see these complaint to make it better. If people don't complain then things wouldn't get better.

believe it or not Samsung is not the worse....Sony is horrendous! I think by far HTC is the best, their only down far with their devices is a ****ty camera, if the M9 Camera are half of what Samsung is, I wouldn't even consider the Galaxy series.
