General :: Memory Difference Between 4.3 And 4.4?
Nov 4, 2013
Surprised this wasn't asked yet as Google made it very clear 4.4 is made for lower memory devices.
As I'm running 4.3 on my Galaxy Nexus I'm faced with updating myself to 4.4 once it's stable and fully functional. However, I'm wondering if I should based on the memory usage. 4.3 started making my phone lag a bit and have slower UI between app switching and such. Similar issues to:
4.3 high RAM usage?
So, how much memory 4.3 uses in comparison to 4.4? It would be interesting to see how Google has based it's claim to a 512MB memory phone being sufficient while 4.3 may not be?

I have a class 2 16gb sandisk card, would I notice a difference with a class 6? And would a class 6 card snap photos faster. And with that I mean no lag after the photo is taken.

I have read a couple of threads about Bitmap creation and release using "recycle()" but still have a problem with an OOM when running my app (that creates bitmaps) on hardware - the dev phone 1 in this case. Multiple passes through my application screens work fine in the emulator but performing the same actions on the device results in an OOM exception almost immediately. At this point I would really like a deterministic way to replicate the scenario on the emulator which I thought should be possible by limiting its memory (though I did read somewhere that the emulator and the dev phone 1 have the same default memory so this should be moot but whatever) i.e. -memory 64, but I am having zero success. Am I using the correct emulator args to limit the memory and/or what is the strategy for making the emulator exactly the same as the device at least with respect to memory constraints/pressure?

I downloaded Zedge to try and get some cool wallpapers for my Galaxy Nexus. I downloaded a few Nexus themed ones, then the app updated. Now there are no Nexus wallpapers in the App (through search). But, they are still on the Zedge website...
Also, I searched for "Tennessee" wallpapers on the app and found a few, but the same search on the web produces nothing.Why is there a difference between the app and the website?

What are the differences between RUU and AOSP ROMs?
Am I correct that a RUU rom is a fully stock rom that some devs post with or without root? Like basically the latest version of non OTA for your device?
I feel like this is something basic that I should know but just haven't come across it.

Are rooting/unlocking bootloader/flashing custom ROM the same as the idea of Jailbreaking on an iPhone? Does iPhones have custom ROMs too that users can install? What are benefits of jailbreaking an iPhone, what extra features can users gain?

you see apps on xda.. that are required to be flashed.. and are in the form of zip files. Now how are these different from apk files with their regular installation? is it something to do with giving these apps you flash a deeper level permission? if so.. if your rooted can't you just give those apps those permissions after a normal install?

This may be a dumb question, but my SD card is 8GB (same as the internal storage on the phone). When I plug into my PC, it shows two removable storage items. How do I know which one is the phone and which one is the SD card? Is the phone the one with all of the pre-loaded pics and such? Or does that info get moved to the SD card once its formated?

I have an HTC Incredible 2 running Cyanogenmod. I was wondering what the difference is (if any) between the wifi Only script that uses radiooptions 1 and turning off the cell radio through the info options.
When I use the Wifi Only script, I get a high percentage of Cell Standby (even if the battery info is cleared). Whereas if I use the Info method, I get Phone Idle and Wi-Fi as a high percentage. As far as battery usage, I haven't really done a test to see if there seems to be a difference - my PERCEPTION is that the battery usage is better going the info route, but cannot be sure on that. If that were the case for sure, i'd be interested to know if there were a way to script that method.

Android boot modes.I have searched but couldn't get concrete reference.
1) What are the different boot modes of Android?
a) Normal Power up.
b) Recovery Mode
c) Download Mode
i) Fastboot
ii) AP Fastboot
iii) BP SBF Flash
iv) BP Only
v) BP HW Diag & Boot AP
vi) BP Tools
2) What is the difference between these modes?
I think "recovery mode" clears cache, takes "update" from sdcard.But in "Download mode", we can use fastboot protocol to "Flash" the device.

I was just wondering why the app size in android (Settings > Applications > Manage applications) is different to the size in Titanium backup (Overview of app storage use) and which one is the correct size?
eg. According to titanium backup, the total size of Jelly defense is 51.6MB whereas android says that it's 112KB
Angry Birds size is 18.5MB according to titanium but only 1.30MB in android.
Skype is 16.7MB according to titanium but only 2.11MB in android.

Is it just me and my device, or is the Google Plus app rubbish for everyone? Jitters and lags just when scrolling down the feed. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3, and the problem persists across ROMs, and enabling/disabling "Force GPU rendering" makes no difference.

so i've been in many roms, custom and stock...and since i know cyanogen i think they have done the ''move aplications to sd'' in every rom. i remember flashing one cm6 once on my x10 mini and see in features: default app2sd in cyanogenmod settings, so i dunno why people keep asking about app2sd or link2sd suport on roms like cm7 or cm9
so...whats the diference between moving an app to sd card from setting and do it froms app2sd?
it is really necesary on gingerbread and ics?
if it so...works better on ext partitions or fat ones?

I upload photo's from my computer to Picasa Web using Picasa, where they are stored in my Google Plus space.
Under my account sync settings in Android, along with Gmail and Contacts and all that, I've got "Sync Google Photos" and "Sync Picasa Web Albums".
What's the difference between these two choices?
