Lirum app - need ridiculous question answered please

[mcdj]

This is like posting "I just bought a house and I heard the professional stove in the kitchen might not be as professional as another professional stove. I am not a professional cook but I need to know. I don't have keys to the house, but if I look through the keyhole, will I go blind?"

I actually downloaded lirium too and it didn't show my chip info could that be cause I am on the 9.1 Beta?

Well according to geekbench I have an N66mAP which is a TSMC chip according to a google search. So I guess my 6s Plus is a TSMC.

There is nothing that software co do on your iPhone that is a permanent change.

That is not correct. But Apples walled garden and high level of sandboxing and general security makes this a non-issue of course. Just to clear it out for OPs OCD.

I paid for the full Lirum application when I noticed a blurb about freeing up memory.

I know it's a relatively useless thing to be doing on iOS, but I was too curious to keep from spending the 2.99 for the full app.

But now I have a problem: I don't see how we clear out the memory using the Lirum application. :-/

Does anybody know how to do that?

People, here, will argue that point till the cows come home!

Cows have come home and left again a dozen times. Recent clinical studies reveal the following;

Classic signature "iPhone Disorder" occurs yearly like the flu. This year's symptoms (labeled chip disorder) include a heightened concern over an individual iPhone component vs all others. Inability to enjoy a great device due to suspicions their device is not as good as their neighbors. An unnatural longing to spend time at the Apple Store switching out phones. Sufferers also seek to infect others, by repeatedly posting threads on technical and social forums.

The disease in some form or other, manifests itself during the Northern Hemisphere fall of each year. There is some anecdotal evidence the disease may become more prevalent in a variety of forms, during the release of a new version of the iPhone. Like the flu, new versions are created in China and spread the world over in the fall.

Caution, symptoms can flare up at any time. Should the iPhone user experience any issues with their phone. Examples such as when an iPhone user ranges in a low LTE or wifi receiving area and battery consumption jumps. The causality of high battery consumption will be blamed on the chip type. Only sure cure for this year's disease is a purchase the following year of the next iPhone. However, relief may be temporary as the mutated virus may reappear as a new concern.

Memory should not be cleared out manually. The phone does so automatically as needed. The whole point of having more memory is to hold the active yet temporarily suspended processes that may resume momentarily. Memory that is unused is wasted. Stop nit picking the phone's designed operating processes and just use it. It's like buying a larger SUV so you can carry more things and then driving it empty. You never get the benefits of the extra space.

Memory management is best left to the phone itself. Or do you know so much more than the designers of the phone. Every time you clear out the memory, guess what the phone will do? Fill it right back up.

What you use your phone for? Calling, texting, web browsing, music, pictures,....not me I watch Lirum and empty the memory cache over and over.

Hi People! As the subject of this thread is my app (yes, I'm the responsible for the Lirum App), I would like to answer to a few concerns exposed here:
- The Lirum Device Info does not temper with anything on your device - all information is obtained via Apple approved APIs. That is true to both the free and the paid version of the app - so don't worry about such things.
- All content of the App is sandboxed (as in any App in the Apple ecossystem) - so, any files and content of the App are located in one isolated place inside the iOS filesystem. Once you remove the App, none of these files remains. (But please, don't remove it lol....). As such, (unlike on Windows), there are no remaining DLLs on your system folders, nor libraries or background services that will parasite your phone in the future.
- The App has just been updated and now it shows the CPU Information (Manufacturer) in it's own section (Menu > This Device > CPU > Manufacturer). And I have a Samsung Chip T.T....
- About memory management - indeed, the iOS mades a great job about managing the device memory. In most cases it is pointless to release it manually. The fature however is present on the app for the moments when you want to guarantee some free memory before doing something: in devices with restrained memory, if you open a large game or use some operation that uses too much memory, it may crash if the required memory is not freed in time by the OS. So, by using the "boost memory option" on Lirum Info, it will gradually allocate RAM and release it all at once, making the operation you want to do, less likely to crash.

I hope that I answered the questions properly. If you have any other questions or complaints, feel free to ask.
- This is not an advertising! I'm just defending my App here...
