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.

Just noticed, 20+ hours since last charge/reboot with 47% battery (1800 MAh) remaining!

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...

If I go into settings to check free ram, it reports roughly 140 MB free. Any widget that I use reports about 60 - 80 mb free. Why is there such a large difference? Which one is correct?

Same thing, but sometimes the app will have more free ram then it actually does have.
I'm wondering if the system RAM number ignores processes cached in the RAM. So perhaps, in a way, they are both correct.

In gingerbread, memory management is a bit better in how much is reclaimable. Just a random fact. To answer your question though, any task killer or widget is showing how much is purely FREE, meaning not being used by any process. The memory usage screen shows how much is free+how much is reclaimable in empty pages, old closed processes, etc.
I have had this ROM installed on my Galaxy s2 i777 for about 2 days. in this time, i have noticed that there is no way to clear RAM on it so when i am close to running out, the device starts to lag a lot and slows down. is there any way to clear the RAM? i know that the stock firmware has Program Monitor and i used that but this SuperNexus one doesnt have anything to clear my multitasking. I have tried to hold down the home button until the tasks pop up in the small windows but when i slide to clear them, im not sure theyre actually being killed.
Please help me find a way to fix this lagginess because i am thinking of going back to stock firmware.
I cant post this on the android development thing because i am a "New User" so i have to post it here

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just download a task manager or task killer from the market and kill the apps to free up the ram?
Lol idk! I just restarted the phone because it started to lag/ freezeup . When I checked ram there was only 64mb free out of around 800. After I restart it the phone works fine but I guess I have to reboot frequently

If your phone does not lag, or if performance has not changed I wouldn't worry to much. I have been using this rom for a few days now with no issues with speed or performance, so I wouldn't worry to much

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

Hello everyone i am starting this thread to see if there is anyone haave the sam problem.I tried basically everything (except rooting ) reinstalling the software,boosting up with tge different apps evrything but it seems to be not helpful.I mean ICS is not so bad itself on SXS but it looks like something is causing the lack of RAM and that's why my phone is bugging and being slow.For the RAM i found oyt that from the avaliable of 635MB i only have 48 free and than i have to restart my phone.So i tried Task Killers and stuff like that and honestly it wasnt so helpful.So o googled it and i found out that it is up to Android to kill apps when necessary itself,and that i shouldn't use any apps such as task killers just let the android work for himself.Than i think my android doesn't work well than.So anyone found a solution for this?And please if you would tell me if this is up to hardware or software thing?

What build are you? .452 or.1.58 or 2.45? The latest one seems to have fixed my problem I had with it. I generally have 200 Mb free now.
But to not use a lot of heavy apps that stay ob background, that is what kill the RAM.

This phone supposed to be 1GB ram, however it drop to 620mb+ because of the driver need to run this phone. It's mean that 370mb of the ram can't be modify to use.
My experience with my previous phone x8. It's ram is only 168 in stock rom. But nowaday dev could create kernel with updated driver which use less ram! So now it reachs 185mb!
I hope dev here could do the same to our beloved XS!

Just got my GS5 yesterday, and as soon as I got it I immediately took off all that T-Mobile and Samsung bloatware. But even after downloading clean master the RAM is always above 70%. Sometimes it's at 50-60%. But on my previous Gs4 I was able to have it below 40%. Anyone also have this issue? Or can I do something to have the RAM use less than 50%?

Do apps close due to RAM usage? If not which is most likely the answer then don't worry how much free ram you have . Let Android which effectively handles usage. Golden rule is unused ram is wasted RAM.

Do not worry about ram usage guys..In fact touchwiz is not this hog most make it to be. It has actually gotten better. This lag people complain of is not lag it's animations the way Samsung intended them to be. Some apps need more optimization in the way they function. Unused ram is wasted ram its like being rich and having money but not using it. Apps that sit in ram are NOT running nor consuming any CPU usage. Ram helps apps run and load quickly for daily task. These days its all about optimization. Touchwiz vs Aosp is a mute debate they are made to operate in the same fashion but diffrently. In short don't worry s5 has plenty ram and android knows what to do.
