Hey all, I'm on AOKP ICS 4.0.3 (I think). My vibrant is running low on memory like all the time, and it's running pretty slow and everything's force closing. I know there's a way to swap data/data onto a larger partition, but I don't want anything slower. Should I switch back to GB, or what?
Thanks!
try Team Passion Chimera or MIUI V4 works pretty well
Use ram booster since you can always clean your ram with a red/blue bar which is small but if you touch it, it will clean the ram. You can also use ram swapper which can make ram partitions as large as 2.5 gigs but the only thing that problems it is the bad English and German implemented.

So far I've found Slim ICS to be great on RAM usage. I haven't tried Chimera but I hear good things about it too. You can also try using a program like Autostarts or AutoKiller Memory to fine-tune what apps are running and how much RAM your system will try to keep free.
Super Manager has a built in memory cleanup. You can set the RAM limit to whatever you desire and it will auto-kill tasks and free up RAM when it hits your set limit.
Been using it for a year, since CM7 gingerbread

I was on milestone 4 and loved all the extra that came with it...but I got a low memory icon and my phone rebooted and got stuck at the unicorn bootani and I only downloaded two apps. Is there something that I need to make more room that I'm missing

go into rom control, performance, adjust free memory to atleast 75mb. It seems these devices do wierd things when the free ram drops below 50mb. Also under settings, developer otions, set process limit to 4, seems to keep the phone snappier overtime.
Running cache cleaner ng nightly also seems to help avoid the datadata issue.

Which ROM has the most available ram? I would really like to know because on CM10, I get like 80mb idle.

Just wondering why you want free ram? I remember reading somewhere that android runs better with most of the ram used and that theres really little reason to skimp on ram usage..
Just my opinion

I've read that too somewhere, however I've found that post to be incorrect. In fact, the less free RAM I have available, the slower my device gets and the music lags as well. I think that Android actually runs worse with less ram free.
Anyway, that isn't the point here. Back to OP. On slimbean, I can get between. 150 - 180 MB of RAM available. Total RAM is 392 on semaphore 2.0.7sv.

If you wanna keep a lot of free ram just go in to (system settings/developer options/) and then check (dont keep activities) it will free a lot of memory, but one thing I notice is when I open the browser and watch a video, when I go back to to the browser, it send me back to my homepage of the browser, so I dont know if that is gonna be a problem with you...

Hello,
I would like to discuss and ask why the newest rom from cyanogenmod team, cm10, is using a lot of RAM om the galaxy s2.
By a lot, I mean buckets of RAM. If you look at your app management settings you will see that it uses up to 630+ of MegaBytes!! And the phone itself only has about 1 GB of it. Because of this heavy usage of the memory the phone gets laggy, the smoothness of the whole system is terrorized by this heavily usage of RAM memory.
The only option is to reset the phone and then the usage goes back to normal again.
Could someone explain why this is?

There memory leak in CM10. it's a known bug, that's why it's still in beta.
The only way you can fix this is:
1. by using a Ram manager
or
2. By using a patched services.jar for your ROM, made by Dorimanx
Hi,
I have the same RAM problems, i'll try the fixed services. Thanks

Samsung galaxy s3 just has 779mb ram
When I open the up to applications like Facebook and whatsapp they run In background so the ram I have on average is 600-650mb/779 mb any solution?
And after clearing ram it goes upto 550mb (400mb using memory booster) but after 5 mins it's 600+mb
Any solution
And any one using polland official jelly bean. Rom please tell me your your average ram consumption

Whats the problem mate. There are still plenty of free ram. Like 150+ mb free. Android likes to not clean out everyrhimg evertime you leave a program. It makes it faster to reopen them. Its not a bug, its a feature.

What firmware are you on? i think that home issue was fixed sometime ago..?
Android likes to use all the RAM available, it isn't your normal windows PC where FREE ram is better.. On Android, free RAM is wasted RAM.
Three things:
1.) Listen to these guys.
2.) Uninstall memory booster and other retarded, memory related apps.
3.) Search before posting.
That is all.

Update to XXDLIB Jelly Bean ROM. Use ODIN. You have 833 MB total RAM and the redraws issue is gone.
And yes, you need to search. Google is your best friend, you know.

If you're under Windows (XP/7), you'll see in performance tab in task manager that most of your physical memory is not free, it's either used by programs or 'cache'.
Most of great operating systems do this, they cache something in free RAM so you'll take much less time opening a process. But in Android it doesn't show 'Available RAM' which is RAM that can be used for 'more process', it just show 'free RAM' whereas it's neither used by a process or cache.
Judge by the above sentences, free RAM is wasted RAM.
You are right but my home screen shuts down because other application. Takes more ram
And according to my task manager Facebook And chrome are most ram consuming Bo sum upto in 150+mb

The issue isn't because you are using more RAM, well kinda.
The system will close other apps to free RAM, the issue with the old stock firmwares, the Launcher can be removed by this and that causes the redraw.
Could be easily fixed.
RAM issue persistent
Galaxy S3 is my first Android smartphone. I jumped the boat [from iPhone] because I was blown away by my brother's S2. I spent nights playing with his phone when he got it (15 months ago). But boy Galaxy S3 got serious problem, with RAM. I don't buy "free RAM is wasted RAM". Apps don't stay in background, launcher redraws, phone gets sluggish, notification shade takes multiple seconds to respond to pull-down. iPhone didn't had any of these problems. Heck S2 don't have any of these problems. There's something seriously wrong with Galaxy S3's RAM management. I'm running 4.2.1 official Samsung firmware, its worse than ever. I really hope they improve the architecture on Galaxy S4. Other than that, and horrible battery life, the things this phone does is incredible. But its getting pretty annoying now, to constantly reboot the phone to clear the RAM.

Won't really care if you don't believe in science. If you're really desperate to free RAM, disable some system apps you don't use. Android manufacturers do have a tendency to overload their phones with too many features no one needs.

To be honest, I don't know why you're using such such (I'll put it as nice as possible) bad... app. Every Facebook for Android user knows that the app's no good. I suggest you get a different one (I've forgotten the app they mentioned in the portal post.. :silly
There's no coming around the fact that you've "only" got ca. 700MB free RAM at any one time. Especially if you're using stock Sammy ROMs. You have to think about all the features they implemented, and especially their heavily bloated T-Wiz interface. I mean, it's really nice and all that, but it just nerfs the actual potential of the hardware. I suggest getting a custom ROM and/or a custom kernel. (And Chainfire's Trangle Away app)
Hope I could help!

Hi, I have a Neo V which is supposed to have 512 mb (actually around 490 mb) of RAM, but now it has only 322 mb RAM (not free RAM, whole of it). Is something wrong with my phone or its common?
How can I fix it?
Android takes a portion of the devices phones to do its thing.
Don't worry, it's normal!
Sent from the little guy
So it means that android itself uses about 150 mb of ram and makes it disappear, and again uses another 200 mb of ram and leaves only 100 mb of for user?
I don't think so, cause one of my friends has sensation xe, and his phone had about 980 mb ram, but once, after he took out the battery, it decreased to about 780 mb.
I think there must be a better explanation

There is memory reserved for android core, camera, video recorder,
Sound devices, radios etc.
The rest is used by the other user and system apps.
You shouldn't be worried about less free RAM unless you experience lag.
If android is using your ram it is doing so to ensure better battery and performance and it automatically clears up your ram if you are doing something which needs it.

Your whole ram is 340 mb, or free ram?
Also how much can you overclock with that kernel?

The RAM can not be overclocked, only the CPU can be or other hardware components can be overclocked.
The RAM is occupied only with software applications or services.
As adity wrote you should not worry about occupied RAM if your phone don't have lag.

You can see what applications and services are running on your RAM if you go on:
Settings -> Apps -> Running (you will see the list of running apps) and you can see what processes are in cache by pressing on the bottom: 'Show Cached Processes'
Now, after what you saw all the processes you can chose what to be close as unnecessary processes.
First, I recommend to close unused widgets and create instead shortcuts to settings.
