After the whole issue with Venue Pros have only 256MB instead of quoted 512MB, can we have a confirmation one way or another for the Venue?

Its 512MB.
It is 512MB
but 200MB or so are freely available I think.
Use Elixir, you will see the stock total is 402.1MB, and I get 150-180MB available as average.
yea!!!it is 512MB!!
venue ram
Full capacity all the 512MB.
But that is actually assigned capacity is 402MB,
Applications due to the use of the average level of available RAM is about 150 ~ 200MB.
I think the ROM is 1GB and RAM 512.

What do you exactly mean by "assigned capacity"?
I've heard that you guys have folio100s with 512MB ram,
But mine has 1GB ram, dunno why....
now that I flashed Dexter's Mod foliomodv1.4,
which is a 512MBRAM version,
Now my OS cannot recognize all of my RAM, it just recognizes 751MB of the 1GB.
the data is gotten from typing 'free' in console mode.
what should I do to find the hidden part of my ram back to work?
I've tried CyanogenMod7, and it's worse, the ram decreases to exactly 512MB.
Thx to anyone who will help me with this!Sincerely!
How do you know there is really 1Gb ram in your folio ? Don't you think it's probably just a bug showing 1 gb intead of 512 mb?

it says so on the label at the back side beside the battery.
and when I'm on native rom the 'free' command shows 990MB free memory, and I always use up to 700+MB ram running all kinds of apps.
but however, as everybody knows, the native rom sucks.
so, is there a way I can adjust the foliomod to yield some more ram?
OK. I was a bit surprised and was thinking that it could be due to a bug.
Unfortunatly I have no answer to your problem.
Is this one of the new batch that was supposed to relaunch in April, or are you just lucky?
I have that label too that says my folio has 1gb ram, Bought my folio about 2 months ago?
How can i find out does it really have 1gb ram?

The native rom will tell you your total ram is 990MB. And you can experience great multitasking !
So, dude, wr are the minority, we should try to fix it, don't you think?
I bought my Folio a month ago and only have 512 Mb reported by Cyanogen.
Do someone know why there are some differences here ?
Mine has 512 mb ram, and 1gb for app installation.
Maybe the inscription in the box is 1gb of ram , for app.
If you really do have 1 gb of ram, lucky you
Ill check that out, ill post my results here then

who would continue with this problem?
I am still confused, I recently have returned to the native rom and obtained the latest official update, it is really stable, with touchscreen responsive, though poor graphic performance(opengl1.1) and wrong direction of sensor in some games.
but the ram reported is the same as foliomodv1.4, that is, 751MB, don't you think it is interesting? it's like the DDR2 ram has 8 blocks with each 128MB, and foliomod has discovered only 6 of them, while Cyanogenmod discovered only 4 of them, that's why Cyanogenmod reports 482MB total ram.
in fact, seen from the dissembly pictures sent from a guy in China like me, there really are 8 similar blocks on the chipboard, with 128MB written on each block as the guy told.
So what do you think, guys? Is it possible to find the hidden memory blocks and get them to work? I think it is highly possible, for different roms report different total ram, and some of them well exceeds the assumed 512MB, that's an implication that some of the folio100 really are bestowed with 1GB ram, rather than 512MB. So why can't there be a rom that makes full use of the ram?
I believe we are the last group of Folio100 users inthe world, so we are gonna stick together to make the most out of our device, guess what, newly published devices mostly have the same hardware as our folio(I mean the 1GB version), except for the screen, but I don't see it as an unacceptable shortcoming. Lower resolution sometimes mean higher performance. I've tried Backbreaker THD running on MOTO XOOM, though the graphics are good, but as I expected it isn't so smooth as running on Folio100. So disadvantages come with advantages, that's why we'll stick to Folio100, at least Before Tegra3 becomes trivial.
Expecting replies from you !! In hope of a better rom and a better tomorrow!
Me too...
CM9/ICM , it just recognizes 512MB of the 1GB.(RAM)
But FolioNotion2.0 recognizes 1G.
I can't paly games like Plants vs Zombies in CM9/ICM ,But in FolioNotion,It works perfect....
I am still confused...
folio100---512M Rom
AS100---1G Rom
Xda Rom just dev for folio100... So,we are just recognizes 512M.
but FolioNotion have recognizes 1G,Why?
1GB with foliomod 1.4
as100 with 1gb ram,and a recently flashed ics rom changed it to 375mb.......those who r confused with the 1gb ram on folio can go to search the pics of disassembly of as100 in some chinese website, after u do that u could fing that there r 8 ram chips installed on the pcb while some of the folio may only have 4installed...
i checked now my folio,...
http://db.tt/dVei7u49 on the top on the right side, is a small sticker 1GB000
CM9 shows me 364M
Is there any way to test it on cm9?

I have the sticker with 01GB000.
I checked the picture of the hardware (ref.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868617)
On one side there are 4 chip NT5TU128M8DE-AC that is a 128Mx8 DDR2-800
so 128M x 8 = 1Gbit and 4 x 1Gbit = 4Gbit = 512 Mbyte.
On the other side there is a place for additional RAM (see picture BILD2387)
If you have the chips in these place you have additional 512Mbyte of ram otherwise no.
To open this box you have to remove only the back cover and open the box with a cutter under the corner with the arrow.
In my case there aren't additional chips of RAM.
So the sticker 01G000 is not for RAM info.
Sorry.
Bye

I've just checked and there's no extra RAM for me as well.
Thank you anyway for your explaination.
I also have the AS100 model with 1GB RAM. Does any one know how to modify ROM to detect all available RAM?
If I Check the RAM I in total have only 320 MBs... Is that normal? Even System Monitor only Shows 344... How much Do you have?

Yeah its correct , the rest if im not wrong is allocated to system .
its the same in every 512 mb ram phone .
Ok. Thx. Good to know

On my LG P500 (which also has 512MB RAM), when I go to Settings > Applications > Running Services, I can see on the graphic underneath my screen: RAM: 98MB used, 294 MB free (this adds up to 392MB).
Then again, it's got a different chipset so less RAM could be in use by the graphics chip (MSM7227 with Adreno200 here).

Is there any hacked kernel to "steal" RAM from system?
Thanks.
This same topic has been posted before in another thread. Plz do a search before creating a post. Dont create a post just for the sake of creating a post !!
JB ROMs are using 360 MB RAM. That is all we can get I think.
Ok
Starting a new thread here because i have read that all the turbo devices that have the omap 4460 cpu inside should have 1gb ram and that is not the case with my device. for info purposes i have the archos 80 g9 turbo model running ics and the cpu is the omap 4460 running at 1.5ghz but the ram is only listed as 512mb which is all a bit disappointing.
i have checked the hardware config using android system info and it confirmed everything i have written above and that even though i do indeed have the 1.5 omap i still only have 512mb ram. so i am wondering what is going on?
by the way ics is installed and i am running the latest firmware.
so can anyone enlighten me? is it only the 101 models that get the 1gb ram and if it isnt and the 80s should also have it then what am i missing?
I have the Archos 80 G9 Turbo model also running a 1.5 CPU and 1gb ram, and running ICS, how do you find your CPU model number so I can compare?

how do you know you are running 1gb ram? it doesnt say it in the settings at least not anywhere i could see.
the cpu model is listed in the settings - about tablet and it is listed under OMAP version mine is the OMAP4460 ES1.1
if you install 'android system info' it is a decent app and it will list everything to do with your device set up.
that is how i found out there was only 512mb ram... there isnt even 512mb ram as it goes it is listed as about 488mb and i will say not a lot is free so having 1gb would be welcome here.
oh yes i called archos and they said they would call me back later today or tomorrow but it would be good to get a bit of user feedback here so i can be better informed when and if they do actually get back to me.
OK just checked and have the same CPU as you, I use Android Assistant to see my memory.
Edit: My memory is 892.98mb apparently the missing ram is for the system. Seems its hit and miss what spec's you get with your archos lol

yes very poor show here i have to say. i bought a turbo model and although i wasnt sure which cpu was in there i was hoping it was the 1.5ghz one because everything i have read points to that having the 1gb installed. amazing that i get the cpu i want only to find it doesnt actually have the ram it is supposed to.
bleeding annoying really. archos really should simply concentrate on making one device that is well made and works properly (getting loads of bugs appearing regarding the archos music player that refuses to close once started!!!) instead of releasing the same model but with loads of random pot luck specs.
may need to sell this on pretty sharpish much like i did the 70 it. hopefully one day i will learn my lesson and simply avoid the brand.
will try installing a custom rom later to see if that helps but i aint holding my breath.
well i am gutted. i called archos back today and the guy (who was actually very helpful) said that only the models that were released after march came with the 1gb ram and it has nothing to do with the turbo model or the cpu. basically the only way to be sure is to buy the model with ics on the box.
oh well. i guess i will be selling it on. thankfully i got it cheap so should be able to get my money back. shame really cos despite its very budget nature (and numerous flaws lmao!!!) it dont seem half bad.

I am looking for a ROM that makes all the 512 MB RAM available in my SGS+. I think there are since I've seen one with 400 MB RAM available. I am still new to this forum, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Thanks in advance.

I don't think, it's possible to have all 512Mb in use for your purposes. 512Mb is a summary capacity of RAM chips of your phone and part of that amount of RAM reserved for kernel needs(services,drivers, etc). From my experience:400Mb of availible RAM good enough cpacity for devices with 512Mb. There are 512Mb devices with smaller amount of availible RAM.
Sorry for my bad English.
