Most of Android devices bundle with limited memory. Android task manager will selectively kill low priority tasks in order to reserve memory to higher priority task. That’s not always run at an appropriate time, causing low responsive apps, lagging, especially when you launch a new app after heavily browsing web pages. It causes a worse experience.

How RAM Booster works

RAM Booster is designed to overcome these issues by selectively kill less important apps that are running in the background but consumes considerable device’s memory. The most beautiful part of this app is a small, configurable widget that places on top of any app and one-click to RAM boost.

RAM Booster comes with auto-boost in 4 levels: aggressive, strong, medium, gentle.

☆ Agressive: kill most of low priority apps
☆ Strong: Kill apps that is low priority as well as consume lightly below an “average”
☆ Medium: kill apps that consumes memory above an “average”
☆ Gentle: kill only apps that uses considerable memory

“Average” is evaluated real-time based on running apps and change over time.

How to work RAM Booster

There are 4 ways to boost

☆ Overlay widget – Enable RAM Booster overlay widget (on by default), adjust widget’s position, and tap on widget to boost anytime you want
☆ Home screen widget – one tap to boost (long-press your home screen>Widget to add RAM Booster widget)
☆ Notification bar – one tap to boost (toggle notification bar visibility in app’s setting)
☆ Boost Now – tap this button from app’s main screen

There are plenty options from app’s settings to twist boosting process:
☆ Boost level: select a boost level
☆ Whitelist apps: apps will not be killed when boosting
☆ Boost automatically: auto-boost, come with minimal RAM threshold and Boost interval
☆ Report- define how to show reports

Be careful good people ...

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Fraudulent-British-app-seller-fined-78000-and-told-to-refund-money_id30592

"Some Android users thought that they were buying legitimate versions of games like Angry Birds, Assassin's Creed and Cut the Rope from third party Android app stores. In fact, they were buying fake apps that actually contained malware that would charge the unsuspecting victims £15 ($23 approximately) everytime one of the apps was opened. This was achieved by having the user's infected phone send three premium £5 texts each time one of the bogus apps were opened. And we hate to say this, but the malware even cleverly covered up its tracks by removing the sent/received notification that would have appeared on the user's phone. That meant that the first time the user would know something was up was when he opened his phone bill. Talk about bill shock! The fake apps contained malware known as RU Fraud and were downloaded 14,000 times. Regulators said that 1,391 mobile numbers were affected.

The scam was not limited to U.K. Android users as it covered 18 countries. "

Collaborative Energy Debugging. Battery life that stands out from the crowd.

Carat is the first app to generate personalized recommendations for improving your battery life.

Ever wondered why your battery is draining so quickly? Just install Carat, open it every few days so it can send data to our servers, and within a week Carat will start recommending Actions (just for you!) and even predicting the improvements you will see. Although Carat cannot measure energy use directly, it infers what apps are responsible using advanced machine learning methods.

And it's free!

As you use your device, Carat occasionally takes measurements and sends them to our backend servers in the cloud, where we apply cutting-edge algorithms to determine what steps you can take to use less energy. By collecting snippets of non-personal data from a large number of devices, Carat does not need to run continuously in the background. Nothing we collect identifies you, personally.

Carat will tell you which apps it thinks are hogs (they use a lot of battery) and which are bugs (they use a lot of battery on your device but not most others). Being a hog or a bug does not make an app 'bad', but a user trying to improve their battery life can use these designations to adjust their behavior.

== Carat Features ==

- Action List telling you how to improve your battery life and by how much
- Device information detailing exactly what data we are recording
- Reports apps that are using lots of energy and whether that is happening on other devices, too
- Detail views let you dive down into the data and see graphs of energy use
- Low-overhead sampling requires almost no energy or CPU
- J-Score tells you how your battery efficiency compares to other users
- Sharing features let you post/tweet/blog about your experience; more users means more data which means better recommendations for you

Carat is under active development by a team of researchers in the AMP Lab at UC Berkeley. We are constantly making improvements, adding features, and giving you more knowledge about how your device is using energy. Remember, knowledge is power!
