YES! this is True 180+ MB Ram, @ the Moment what I have working is the ICS Itself, and thanks to wedgess's Lupus kernel i was able to get the Gamepad Working "Tested on certain Games such as FPSE, Asphalt 7 and Dead Trigger"
@ the Moment im working on Activating the Touchpad based on markpythons Dev. Tutorial. and as soon as im able to make everything Work, I'll convert this Post into a Guide on how to obtain such ICS once im able to get the Touchpad Working.
I'm at the same point as you with .479, i've deleted bloatware and RAM eating programs with 180-200MB of free RAM result. It would be great if you share solution if you find it cause i've spend 2 days of work on it with no results. His ICS touchpad tuto isn't actualized cause in his ROM mark has some play beta files instead of 2.3.4 files.
PS : games are so smooth with 180Mb free !
The official ics have self 160 - 180 MB free ram at all the time!

Would like to know if games become playable when you have touchpads working. Is 180 mg of ram enough to keep games from backing out or lagging when they even work? Please post results.

First, begin to delete RAM-killer apps like facebook (20Mb), Google+ (30Mb), Maps (20Mb), Xplay game laucher isn't necessary and it burns 20Mb on cache only to show and launch games.
After, that's your choice, some apps will be important for you but delete bloatware and Timescape etc, and you'll see, your system will be very responsive.
PS : If you delete game launcher, also delete storefront, it'll be useless and add a 10Mb gain.

Use link2sd. Your internal memory will not lose even 1mb even if you install 100 apps
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
i have the same question back then.. when i installed app2sd and launch it, it says there is 35mb cache on the phone memory and ask whether or not to remove it. seems that some of the apps is taking up some room.
i cant tell whether you already root your phone or not by just looking at your statement "Ive got rid of a bunch", if not you might want to do it. its nice that you can remove all the craps that comes preinstalled like mine
get app2sd and move all of those apps, delete cache.

is it really worth it? I read that swap memory will reduce the read-write cycle of your sd card. I don't think that it's a good tradeoff in the long run...

Sd card has at least 100 000 writes per sector so even with heavy use of swap it that would be at least 10-15 years (this program swaps process that are not used often and that just use memory for almost nothing) ..your battery would die much much before.And even if it dies you can buy mikro sd card class 10 cheap and make external to be internal.

How can we get this working on the 5.0? I tried the original version of swapper, and I have to say I've never had this little problem with how many programs are running. Usually I close running programs as I stop using them, now I can have facebook, opera, and other memory intensive programs open with almost no slow down in android at all.
the kernel needs to be able to support swap. i don't believe Entropy's kernel does

The device should have 512mb but when im in the task manger i see that there are only 376mb of ram why is it?is it because the rom?because i remember that in the stock rom i got 381mb but now i only have 376mb is the tweaks that i did made that?
Thanks for all the helpers!
I.E
I just saw in the settings that i only have 263 ram(152 used+191 free)so which one is correct?the task manager or the settings menu?
I believe it is like the 8gb of storage and you only get around 5.5gb. Not all the ram is available for use to use, and I think that is for some of the background processes that are running to keep everything stable. I haven't used the stock rom in a while but I know that the max ram you get is 341mb, and yes some of the tweaks you do can increase/decrease ram.

You have 512mb of RAM in total but a certain amount is dedicated to the GPU to render the visuals. ~375 for apps and ~140 for graphics.
You can change how much is dedicated by doing what is called ramhack. But i don't know if its possible on the players. Search before making a new thread about it.

Did you read the settings wrong? Or its just messed up? I think that it meant 263mb of RAM was in use atm. So you would have ~110mb free (or the opposite).

No i read it fine,i upload some pictures so you will see.
Take care that the screen shot app should not be working in normal use so there should be in there 5-7mb more.
Anyway as u can see the task killer show different size of ram and the running apps shiw different size of ram....

As far as I know 124mb are allocated to the gpu, so the "visible" ram is 388mb. The ram for the gpu gives more performance in gaming.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
And the problem is?
I got no problem with 140–160 mb on my Xperia S. I can only feel it getting slow when it install a update for an app. Else it can run 20+ apps at the same time.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
RAM is a resource that should be used. The more free RAM, less of it is actually being used. If the system needs memory it will get it by freeing RAM from background process. Cmom we have ICS, don't tell me you still free RAM with killers. Let the system worry about memory.

But from my experience if you open ram hungry apps it slow downs due to less free ram.
All will be affected like slow opening time, lagging, more time to open web pages in browser etc etc.

The problem is the crap peformance of some Sony ICS phones. Did you know that some mobile networks have *refused* to offer the Sony ICS update to their customers because 'the performance is so bad'? If you Google it, you'll find it, I know the Spanish-owned network O2 (Telefonica) is one network that decided this. That would be the problem.

I don't know a lot about this, but I believe this is true. I read a Google Android employee say this. However, when I contacted Sony about my Sola being slow, they told me it's probably too little free RAM and that I should consider a task manager. Imagine!
I also think its crappy performance with 512mb ram Xperia devices. Its really funny to get lags and extreme slowness even in phone dialer, or when u get a call while using some app..
In my case I can't imagine using Sola without 2 task killer apps, one is Go task manager for it's "Advanced Killer" feature, and the other is Ram Booster for it's overlay small widget that appears on all apps + games.
And I also get my Sola slow as hell after sometime using Browser or Chrome..really disappointing...
To say the least.. I didn't feel that I'm using a fast reliable device, and I'm sure it's a Sony or ICS thing coz I've used other devices from other brands that was really much faster even with the same 512mb ram like iPhone 4...no compare..
So to be able to use Sola flawlessly with multitasking u have to:
1-restart ur phone dialy or every couple of days!
2-don't use 99% of widgets!
3-use task killers!
4-don't even think of using Live wallpapers!

I just tried CyanogenMod9 on the Sola (I've tried other ROMS) and the CM is unbelievably fast...I almost thought it was impossible that Sola could run this fast. This makes it totally clear to me that it is the stock Sony apps, UI etc. that absorbs so much RAM. However, I really don't like stock Google Android stuff, I think the audio is too nerdy and boring, the apps ugly and not so intuitive. If you have a sharp eye for detail and appreciate elegance, I have to say the Sony ROM is the ROM to use. The latest Sony ICS update .54 is much faster than previously. :fingers-crossed:
I've never used CM9, maybe I will when I have free time.
Agree about .54 , its kinda faster, but not for long..as you still have to reboot every couple of days, and phone still struggling while surfing the internet with stock browser or chrome.
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
I don't have to reboot my sola unless I need to flash something or something I installed needs a reboot, like my ringtones I put into system\media folder. It runs fast and I have had no problems with it except few minutes ago when my power button didn't work but I think that has to do with my case as it worked when I rubbed the button.
How to avail max RAM/ROM in android, I have used GB,ICS,JB with newer versions RAM/ROM increased from 320 MB RAM in GB changed to 381MB RAM in JB, if it can be then why not having a perfect kernel which can unlock maximum ROM/ROM in ICS.

The amount of RAM available depends on the base Android and its system functions. These are hidden to the users.
For example, most JB ROMs have more RAM available, because 720p HD video recording has been disabled.
