Boost + app?

[smc333]

Is it worth using? Seems like the game optimization for resolution will help but what about smart cleaning? Gonna give it a try but please post experiences on performance/battery life

No, those "RAM boosters" and "task killers" work the opposite way Android is designed to work. Android works better when RAM is full, not empty; that is because Android is Linux not Windows.

I'm using it for everything but the RAM boost function. Rather surpising for HTC to include a bit of snake oil in an otherwise inoffensive app.

I find the RAM boost function to be very useful, just not as a RAM booster. I use it when something is glitching. For instance, sometimes boomsound keeps running. The Boost pulls up everything that's running and lets me quickly kill any of the usual suspects. Much faster than going into the App mgt screen, for me. Use it any time you have a glitch and see if it helps.
