Firstly, amazing forum, the wealth of information here is just brilliant.
I have two problems, which I want you guys to help me problem solve/guide me
First one:
I have two devices, one an Android Dongle with OS version 5.1.1, powered by a Rockchip RK3066 with 1 GB of Ram.
There is an app called Hotstar which is quite famous in India, it runs flawlessly on this Dongle, I have installed Cool Tool to monitor the ram consumption and even after continuous usage, the ram figures remain in the greenzone with the app consuming at the most 150 mb ram.
Now on the other hand I have an Android Media Box running on Amlogic 905X, it runs on Marshmallow, has 1 GB ram and when I run Hotstar on it, as I start scrolling the app, the ram starts decreasing alarmingly and the box goes into a low ram state, the app hangs and crashes.
Why such different behaviour of the same app on different boxes? What can be done to fix this on the Amlogic 905X box?
Second:
The amlogic 905x seems to be running out of ram pretty soon, at the same time the same rockchip works like a charm on the 1gb ram with 500 mb arounds always free for apps, it even shows available ram as 996 mb as compared to the 818 mb shown by the amlogic.
Can you give me pointers on how I can make the the amlogic 905X work like a charm. I have this mini project and with your kind guidance I will be able to fine tune it to work at its best.
Thanks,
Rohan
