Memory Monster – memory utility 6-pack with Memory Recycler
Compare this package with Memory Booster and MemoryUp Professional !
Avoid memoryrelated delays by adjusting when automatic memory recoveries happen; set Memory Monster to do memory recovery as much as possible when it wont inconvenience you, so it will happen less when it would interrupt you. LogCut automatic log eraser and event log shortcut can clear both the log and caches on a schedule you select, such as periodically when youre not busy or at specific times such as when powering down.
Includes 8 detailed system meters to show filesystems media card, internal file, and application memory, RAM working memory, Flash longterm memory, i.e. app settings and data, and virtual machine information see screenshot.
The Meters app does periodic garbage collection lossless resource recovery while viewing the meters, for best accuracy; otherwise, you could not tell true allocated memory from dirty memory that can be reclaimed.
Memory Flash icon is a direct manual trigger for the garbage collector; tap this icon just before starting on something you dont want interrupted. Thats like taking the garbage out before you start on a task, so youre less likely to have to take it out again in the middle of what youre trying to do.
Memory Recycler icon does the same as Memory Flash, but also pops up a report of gains. This feature along with deeper manual recoveries and log erasing is also available by clicking on the memory reading that Memory Monster optionally adds to most menus.
Clicking the battery reading in the menu is a way to open the meters quickly from almost anywhere, i.e. to check quickly how much free space you have for storing files, or whether the battery is fastcharging or slowcharging after youve plugged in.
Digital Menu Clock Plus feature adds the following information to most menus some menus block additions; you can select which items are shown, and tweak their position:
:: 12:10 am Tue 5
:: Battery 87% @ 78F
:: Memory 51% 12M
:: Open Apps 5
You can augment the Open Apps reading with an invisibleapps count if you also have Whats Running in My Phone?
SecureOff feature clears the event log and erases caches and turns the phone off in a way that it will power back up with the carrier connection off, until you decide to connect to a cell or WiFi network.
:: If you dont want ALL of these features or icons, just turn off what you dont want working in the background, and hide or delete any unwanted icons. You can also remove any items you dont want shown in your menus.
Please note that some settings are in the Options icon under MemoryFlash and LogCut, and there are initially 6 icons Meters, Memory Recycler, Memory Flash, Secure Off, LogCut, Digital Menu Clock setup. You do not need to keep all of these; you can retain all functionality with all but SecureOff hidden, because you can access features through the menu. The Memory Recycler and Memory Flash icons are visual or quick simple access to the same recovery done by the Memory item in the menu. Its your choice whether this app is menubased, iconbased, or both.
Memory Monster is preconfigured to work best for most users. Please note that its capable of being overconfigured, i.e. if you turn everything on, that could be counterproductive like pausing to take the garbage out too often would slow a physical project down. When adjusting the settings to find the optimal solution for your phones setup, just think of how the various settings will work together to recover resources when youre idle, instead of when youre in the middle of working. Thats how this app can reduce lags while youre working.
