How to really clear out your memory?

[jlmitnick]

TLDR at bottom

So the past few weeks my iPhone has been kinda sluggish. According to sbsettings, my available memory would get down to like 20 mb, and if i click the kill processes button and even manually close everything in my app switcher bar, that would just make it go up to like 80mb free.

This morning I installed something and had to restart the springboard. When I restarted it, my phone "crashed" and went into a perpetual spinning circle tick animation. After 15 minutes of waiting, I decided to hard reset by holding down home+power. Phone went off, then I press the power button, and it takes a good 5 minutes of the Apple logo, then finally gets booted up.

But now, according to sbsettings I have 290mb of memory free! And the phone is running like a dream again. Yet all the appropriate background apps are indeed running correctly (sbsettings, iBlacklist, etc.).

So, in my long winded post:

TL;DR - How do I really clear out my memory and get up to like the >250mb of free memory range where the phone runs really well?

get remove background from cydia you set up an activator gesture(example mine is set to a double tap of the status bar) this clears the background apps and its makes my RAM increase bac to 200-250

This works great and is what I use. I have mine set to run whenever I swipe down on the statusbar. After installing this, and you still notice the MB's are a little low, reboot (not respring) and that'll clear out all the background goodies that are running.

I also have Remove Background but use the shake & bake method in Activator....one shake and they're all gone.

I use the same method, simple and effective tweak.
