Repeat Memory Free is a patch for iPhone/iPod Touch that automatically frees a certain part of the memory if it falls below a value set by the user. The patch is made in such a way that at certain time intervals it checks to see if the minimum threshold has been reached to start the memory recovery process, the default thresholds are these: iPhone 2G (10MB), iPhone 3G (20MB), iPhone 3GS (40MB), iPod Touch 1G / 2G (10MB) etc iPod Touch 3G (20MB).
Repeat Memory Free is very useful for owners of iPhone 2G / 3G as well as for those with iPod Touch 1G / 2G because these are the devices that suffer the most from memory, for iPhone 3GS si iPod Touch 3G the patch is for nothing because the cases where you manage to reach 40/20MB free on these 2 terminals are extremely rare. As I said, the patch automatically checks if the minimum threshold has been reached, so a small value set for the search interval will lead to high battery consumption, and a lower value will lead to lower consumption.
The version was released yesterday Repeat Memory Free 2.5.1 beta and today version 2.5.2 so I will post the changelog for both:
2.5.2 beta
- A plus "+" sign will appear while the script is running. An optiron is added to the settings menu.
- Implemented check for Cydia. When Cydia is running the script will not run.
– Implemented check for iTunes. When synchronizing or backing up, the script will not run.
- Improved code so that "apply changes" will run better.
