@Bob For the start at boot function it currently writes a new init.d script, unfortunately not all roms seem to run these or run them from the same location. I'll take a look at using the Android SDK functionality to do this at some point, which may be a more widely compatible way of doing it.

This app is great, but I can’t get it to default to the desired values after a reboot. I choose aggressive, tap Apply At Boot, but after a reboot the settings are back to the device defaults. (Evo 4G, 2.1, rooted with stock ROM.)

Hi oldskool7
Just thought I’d pass by to say thanks for an awesome app, I have been using from the early day without any problems what so ever and has been used on countless ROMS.
Great Work, love the fact your GUI is in MB’s so we know exactly that we are setting this for our own requirements. B)

Hi, good question.

About half way through that post the important bit to note is…

“Be careful, the units of these values are pages!! 1 page = 4 kilobyte.”

…so if we take the example of 48MB the maths is…

48MB * 1024 (to kb) / 4 (to pages) = 12288

That’s basically all MinFreeManager does internally, convert the value you enter in MB to pages (not KB) using the above formula and write it to the file.

Hope that makes sense, and thanks for commenting.

Hi!

I have one question. In the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622666 the values are given like: 1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040

Your values are in MB, so whats the difference? In your “mild” setting, there are 48MB for “Empty App” and thats not like the value 23040 in KB. So is your setting “mild” more aggresive than the value in the forum or whats different?

Thanks for your answer!
