[q] [q/a] memory leak android 5.0

[neko95]

Hello zenfone users, I know many of you are aware of the android 5.0 bug, the memory leakage, this eats up the ram and has been fixed by google's android 5.1 update.

For us still waiting for the official 5.1 update from ASUS, thus anyone found a workaround to fix this without rooting?
> I tried enabling developers option, and turned off the animation duration scale, Yup lock screen fade now disappeared and I dont see difference in RAM consumption.
Any more idea? Suggest here, It will be appropriated by many.

> Fix via Xposed module, you need to root your device to apply this fix.

I've heard about all these memory leaks with Lollipop and personally experienced it on my Nexus 5 but haven't encountered memory issues on my OPO or Zf2 with 3 and 4 gigs of RAM respectively.

The leak might still exist but doesn't seem to be too much of a problem with spacious memory.

Can anyone try this??

In zf2 2gb ram variant, this memory leak is noticeable...

5.1 and 5.1.1 did not fix any memory leak. i know as i have the nexus 5. use xposed and the memory leak module.

Faux also confirmed awhile ago that 5.1.1 did not fix all the memory leaks. Android M should solve them.

Nope, sorry... Android M won't fix but N might, or O....

I tried the memory xposed framework and module... but sadly to say still not fix on Zenfone 2 2gb 1.8ghz 32gb variant... but sometimes when you boost the memory you can get 1.1gb or 1.2gb. Most of the time i get 1.0gb free memory unlike before only 700-800mb. But when u used the phone still goes up easily and the free memory around 300mb left always.

even WHATSAPP is the only running apps. still easily free mem goes down.
