That’s great, and it really is….thank you! But I still only have 350MB of RAM available. When I go to settings and look at running apps there’s a lot of bloatware still running that never shows up in the app drawer. I need another article about how to free up RAM for services I actually want to run.
Hey Matt you may use the Titanium Backup app but for that Root access is required..
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Thanks!
