The Android OS itself needs some RAM for vital phone functions, SMS functions, etc. and the video card (PowerVR SGX 540) needs some dedicated memory. But how much RAM do you really need? Do you multitask 10 apps at a time?

Like was mentioned. The lack of 512 "max" memory is because of the dedicated memory for video, just like any other motherboard with onboard video.

I want free about >100mb ram. And I do not run 10 with a time multitasking.

I thought the max was 512 (including memory for video)

Why?
what good does unused ram do you?
Unused ram is what it is, unused and wasted ram. Google will optimize the OS for our hummingbirds as the Nexus s uses the same SoC, so our phones will be up to date for at least a year. Android is efficient with RAM management so don't worry, you will rarely run out of RAM. Even the original Droid with only 256 mb ram rarely had issues.

Used by android. Android needs ram allocated to it to perform.

Yeah, it is used by the base system. And we have 512 MB RAM.
So guys you also have 200-250mb free ram like me or more?

It also depends on the kernel, rom and apps you use.

its normal...here's mine
So our phone has 512 mb ram.
in CM it is reported as 420mb, means that the 92MB is system reserved. The 130 mb reported is quite high because of your apps, GO launcher Ex already taking up 31mb.....in kernel it usually just affects the distribution of ram (killing apps etc).
Actually is better to go to settings>about phone>scroll down to meminfo, it's more accurate.

GO Launcher is heavy, I think, (and many others too). If you want a different kind of launcher, try SS Launcher. or the Xperia S Launcher.
92MB RAM system only
420MB user
Edit: the same is for all 512MB RAM devices

It's normal.
Just wanted to know if there was a way to increase my Free RAM on this device. Some ROM's I have run have about 150megs free while others have less, the current ROM I running has 200megs free. Other than killing a running app or task, is there a way to free up more? Or is this just how this device works?

I've tried lots of roms and none had more free ram than UR Rom. But it does take more time to set up than other roms because its light, which is great IMO. O wish it had 2gb of ram like the S3. If it did it would be perfect. By the way I hate the s3.

If your running sense and dont mind disabling sense aspects of your rom, you can freeze sense and run another launcher like ADW. When i was running the older viper i did see on average another 100 megs of ram open.
Or you could go aosp and win right there just saying

UR is the rom I running now. I would like to keep sense, I understand that freezing/removing will lighten it up. So until CM is fully functioning, I want to try to make the most of what I have.
I'll probably add swap when I get around to playing with the kernel in the mean time if u have tasker u can set up a profile to bulletproof apps, I was pissed when dolphin closed while watching hulu on the EVO LTE, it has 2x the ram of my og EVO but less avaible for me to use
Tasker profile active when dolphin running in foreground:

Recently I found some settings by which my phone xperia u became smoother and performance was enhanced ( quadrant score went beyond 3000 for first tym)
Go to developer options
1.Set background process limit from standard to 2
2.Enable gpu rendering
These settings do work
Just check ur benchmark scores before n after to confirm
Press thanks if this helped
It doesn't helped much but round 100 points more in Antutu
working. I never saw my Flipboard so fast like it is now. My Quadrant improve from 2400+ to 2900+. I think this works especially with simple apps like face, flipboard, etc.
While you may get better performance in particular apps, because of it closing down other apps so all have a bit more free ram. You do loose out on the multi tasking front, and when opening apps after each other the phone will have reload the app info.
I prefer having my most used apps still open and running. So that they open right away, rather than having to wait a second or two for the app to launch again.
But it depends how you use your phone I guess
Try again it will cross 3000
Forcing 2d acceleration makes your 2d quadrant score higher, that's all.

Besides it also enhances performance in applications ( quadrant being one of them)

As you know, Android integrated a Memory Management Mechanism that allow system to kill some apps to free RAM for those RAM-tiger apps like games and browsers.
That's good, but it's quite annoying sometimes, when I quit a game or browser the home launcher always take several seconds to reload icons and widgets.
I hope Launcher,Contacts,Phone,SMS these frequently-used apps can be LOCKED INTO RAM so it can starts quickly when I need it.
So I'm looking for some app can Lock app into RAM, but I've found nothing I want.
Then I remembered there is a Memory Management function in DX Toolbox might be useful more or less.
There is 4 settings in DX Toolbox:
first is system default setting(can not be changed), and the other 3 are DX Toolbox's 3 different settings:

}
There is only 19+29+24+37+49+43=201mb RAM of the system default setting:
but there is 227+113=340mb RAM in total of my ROM:
So I modified one of the settings like this, 30+30+65+65+70+80=340mb:
Then I just wanna know am I correct.....?
And how should I set these values.....?
If you ask me, I rather you go ask Zeppelinrox, the God of Android-Ram-Manager

Pim My Rom can lock apps in the memory - but I don't think it's that useful because Ray only has 512mb.
The latest CM10 build is very fast - so much so that I don't really think such tweaks are really necessary.
Ultimately the Ray is not a power user phone, I'm amazed what the developers here have managed to do, but it's limited by its hardware and can only be taken so far.
Nothing will work for it since xperia ray only have 400mb ram "why you guys say 512mb? check by your self thats a sony lie sometimes we have only 358mb" the only thing xperia ray users can do for ram is use some apps who can help the only one's i found are:
Ram Manager Pro
Speed booster
Ram booster pro
Those one's are the only hope to get a... decent ram management

First of all, you have some heavy apps (for sure), uninstalling those will help.
I have greenify + donation package. I have greenified all the apps I don't want running (including some system apps - be careful with those)
Avarage free RAM: 250 - 300MB
YEAAH, im trying greenify and is going pretty good, tyvm, would be great if you put a list of apps you have greenified, i already free until 200mb of ram, really useful with multiwindows
