Aggressive RAM Management (ARM) is a term that you may or may not have heard of. I don’t hear it very often, it is thrown around a fair bit.

What is Aggressive RAM management?
Aggressive RAM management is simply when a phone cannot keep apps in memory for an extended period of time.

It can also refer to a situation where an operating system overzealously manages RAM.

Some OS and Android Skins are notorious for having very aggressive RAM management. Examples may include TouchWiz (Samsung), Oxygen OS (One Plus), iOS 13 (iPhone), MIUI (Xiaomi) etc.

Symptoms
One of the first things you’ll notice is that if you leave an app and return, the app basically starts all over. It would be as though you never opened it. This can be really annoying.

This makes multitasking nearly impossible. Because as soon as you switch apps, the OS simply kills the previous one.

Another symptoms is that there’s never enough space even when there’s really no apps in memory.

Causes
Aggressive RAM management is usually caused by either:

1. Poor RAM management
2. Deliberate action

1. Poor RAM management
Poor RAM management is simply when the smartphone (Operating System) fails in its task of managing the RAM.

Details can be read here… (please visit link at the bottom)

2. Deliberate action
An operating system can be designed to aggressively manage RAM. This means that who ever wrote the software, deliberately designed it to act this way.

If an OS is deliberately written to manage RAM aggressively, then you can be sure that the developers are trying to cover for some flaw in the software.

Benefits
Aggressive RAM Management can arguably help save battery and forestall out of memory situations.

Drawbacks
Whatever battery it would have saved, would be spent in reloading killed apps. It’s a pointless endeavor.

It would also seriously restrict multitasking and slowdown some phone functions.

Apps could be closed suddenly without warning, even while in use.

It would be a source of frustrating for the end user as it would not only waste time, but also battery as well.

Samsung is one ui and no longer touchwiz

Nice content by the way

The old TouchWiz was very notorious for aggressive RAM management. That's why they abandoned it for One UI.

Never disappointing in your detailed write-ups.

You’re absolutely correct. Oh I get what you’re doing. You’re mentioning the skins that had the aggressive ram management problem and not the current skins of each phone right

Exactly!

Ok

Hey atheistandproud every time you write a content on your website do you need to write the code each time or is there a template you use
