It always happens that crashes and errors in the system and slow performance are the problems occurred because of the full or nearly full memory. Issue of memory overload the Smartphones are not immune. It can be avoided, if you know how to maintain phone’s storage space. If your phone has large memory then it will run very smoothly.
For performance of the phone to improve you can delete the cache from time to time which in turn will lead to the better performance of the phone. It can be done by using an application Apps2SD which clears both your cache and histories which are not necessary after some time. By clearing cache it frees up the internal space which there by leads to improved performance in the phone.
1.Try turn OFF (a)Sync(b)Wifi(c)GPS by this a constant process will be stopped and which will also improve your battery life and there by making it more use able, bcoz apps like gmail, contacts, maps constantly updates.
2.Uninstall apps which u don't prefer using. Further checking apps which eat more ram is to look in setting/apps/running and try freezing them.
3.Install task manager which provide operation of auto killing of apps in between time interval.
My Config ROM: FXP149-CM10
Kernel : flykernel 0.7a
launcher : ilauncher 2.2.1
Hope this Helps.
what task manager are you using?
it may helpful for some beginner
but i dont think it helps a lot......
just try Ram manager.
if it useful u can buy full version with more flexible option.
It's work for me.

Free RAM is nothing but wasted RAM. Oh please, android works totally different from your Windows PC.
You can get performance by removing/freezing Unwanted apps, bloatware etc.
Using a Task Manager/Killer may give you a slow performance while Gaming etc.
You should not use a taskmanager, it juse makes your phone slower.

Ok taskmanager are memory hog when coupled with lot of background services eg: widget on screen, social syncing etc.
But if you have organized set of application install with active task managers, it helps solves unecessary lags.

yes exactly, at the beginning i also tried to use taskmanager, but then i google Android RAM and found guides who say the same. and it seem logic for me. so just let it be. no need to use such apps
and custom roms can drain battery more fast,so dont wonder.
first you should check your mobile and wifi signals and stuff like that.

Thats not really true, taskmanagers doesn't make your phone faster, and free ram is not necessarily good, android manages the ram in another way than for an example Windows. Android kills or puts processes in a kind of freezed mode instead of leaving them running all the time, and when a app needs more ram, android will automatically kill apps so that you can play games and so on.
If you want more free ram, you should use Supercharger or Ram Manager Pro instead, because their alot better than using a taskmanager.
Read this article about it:

Switching off wifi and gps when not in use is just a godamn basic when you use a smartphone, i don't even see the point of opening a topic to say that. Are there still people keeping everything on all the time ?
Task managers are not required since 4.0 at least, if not 2.3 if i remember right. Free ram is useless on Android, i never got this obsession about having free Ram. Many 4.1 and 4.2 custom roms leave less free ram than the official 4.0 and are still way smoother and fast.
This topic is complete bul****, and i'm not even a developer knowing that.
This thread should be moved to /dev/null , because its nothing new in it, and there is alot better tutorials on how to optimize your Xperia Ray.
dont use task managers or killers. Because there is battery drain.

swap ram expander
Adding swap ram (no need for much, 300 to 500 mb is ok) makes such a difference. Since I've started using it, I can multitask and I don't get the big slowdowns I was used to. No blank screen when returing to the launcher or horrible wait times under Chrome. From my experience, Android phones with 512mb of ram generally struggle a lot because they always have to erase and reload ram pages so they don't exceed it. I have a class 10 32gb sd card btw.

I have installed RAM Booster and ZD Box(task killer) to help free up RAM, however i feel that the RAM usage on my x10 is still too high.
On average the free RAM on my phone is between 40MB -60MB, is that normal?
My question is how else can i free RAM on my phone? will installing apps to SD Card help? Also my internal memory widget is reading "414MB used out of 465MB" thats sound too high. my phone feels laggy and ive even stopped using live wallpapers, sumtimes the phone would even reboot on its own but hasnt done so in a while.
if u install too much apps without using app2sd, its normal to have that amount of ram.. i recommend u to use link2sd, u can manually select apps to move to sd. bt make sure that dont move any widget apps to sdcard or else it will stop functioning and appearing in ur widget list
I use Advanced Task Killer, from the market.
That being said, Android naturally will kill processes and apps. It waits for a certain amount of time, or until the resources are needed elsewhere. You shouldn't have to wory about how much free ram you have available... Unlike Windows, Android will manage it all on it's own!

First i don't this is a place to post such question, there is a section called Q&A.

Give it a try
it wouldnt be a lack of memory causing a phone to reboot but the app w memory leaks causing the phone to reboot. the apps youre killing werent designed for you to kill them unexpectedly. they were designed to run any necessary cleanup routines on exit. if the app youre killing doesnt have an option to exit, then you should replace it w one that does or ask the author to provide an exit/close for the app to free itself from the list of running processes.
you're introducing dirty unintended states for the apps and the os by killing them unexpectedly. you will have immediate gains in performance and will gain unexpected problems when those same apps go to run later. lost widgets, widget data, duplicate widgets, or maybe even break an app that wasnt designed to open from a dirty state.
keep an eye on the tasks, but leave them alone if you can.

to op, i think u better try the autokiller 1st. because the link2sd and app2sd need to make partition.
1st make a fat32
2nd make a ext2
size of partition 2 put less than 1gb, i assuming u having a 8gb class 2 sdcard
the rest of it goes to fat32
ps : this require u to format ur sdcard. so make sure u backup it up in ur pc

Get rid of the task killer and get AutoKiller Memory Management. I went from ~35mb free to ~135mb by changing the last 3 settings to 150, 200, 250 and never need to kill anything

Hi, i recommend the app "Taskiller Full" from AxDroid LLC ( i dont know if the free version is the same ) when i kill apps get a 150-200 free ram
do NOT use task killers. all you will succeed in doing is to use MORE battery. Andoid (which is linux based) is designed to have very little free memory. The way android handles application and memory use is it keeps frequently launched apps in memory so they launch quicker. if a task comes along that requires resources android will simply ditch the reserved memory (that is reserved in case you launch a particular app that is in memory) and will allow it to be utilised for the new app. as has been said 1000's of times before, free ram is wasted ram!
all a task killer will do is to fight against the native android instruction set, each time android attempts to launch a process into ram the task killer will kill it, and each time this happens it will chew a bit more battery life.
having a lack of ram is not necessarily the reason your handset is lagging.....the perceived lack of ram is only because it is earmarked for potential use.
my advise to you? just leave it be, maybe reboot your handset a bit more frequently, and remove some of the apps that you have installed that are fighting against android!
good luck!

I would recommend a 3rd party launcher like ADW Launcher on Android market very light weight, also a app like memory booster which frees RAM. Their are no such mods to change the file system usage as changing the amount of RAM the system needs could result in a unstable device. I have a Galaxy wifi 5.0 with 512mb RAM and the 200mb left is enough for me without lag etc. hope this helps
I recommend using Advanced Task Killer. It has a very easy interface, and frees up ram quickly.
What does it say for ram on the player.... I have seen 377... and 345.
I have 345 and Im pretty pissed about it.
I have 342mb of RAM available. But I heard that around 100+ mb are dedicated to the gpu on the galaxy s phone, and the galaxy player has the same hardware so should be the same. So I think it still has 512mb of ram, but just 342 is usable by Android.
Have a look at the output of dmesg (e.g. run the following in a terminal and copy the resultant file to your PC to view: dmesg > dmesg_output.txt) and it tells you how much memory you have and how much has been set aside. Note you will probably want to reboot before you do this as otherwise the interesting messages have scrolled out of the kernel message buffer.
I've been using an app called Fast Reboot Pro. It appears to simply close processes that are running in the background. It then shows you how much memory was was freed. I hit every so often and especially when things appear to lag. Seem to work pretty well.

Gingerbread/Samsung has it's own task manager which in turn has it's own widget which does this. No need to install an app for this
I to use fast reboot, find it much more effective than what the player comes with. I also use ram manager pro witch is a very good tool to set different ram profiles, I like "balance (more free memory)" the best. I first select my profile, then I run fast reboot, very effective! The more you run fast reboot, the more memory it frees up, witch is great for big games like asphalt 6. Also, I use zeam launcher, very lightweight, perhaps the lightest, but still a great improvement over touchwiz. Another thing, NO LIVE WALLPAPERS is an absolute necessary! These things eat WAY more ram than they say on taskmanager. THEY CAN EAT 50+ MB OF RAM!! Also, services like widgetlockscreen and such will eat your ram. If you want to play a heavy game, go to running services and kill as many as you can, you can also clear cached apps by hitting the menu button in running services. Hope these tips help you to make the most of our small supply of ram!
Hmm, after more testing, it would appear that wifi burns around 25mb of ram when on! So, if your really short on ram, just turn on airplane mode to kill all antennas. I just played modern combat 3 with 25mb free ram throughout the whole level I had 190mb free originally, that game sure eats the stuff :s The CPU rides at 1000mhz through the whole game, lol, could always use some more of that stuff! That's what oc is for
I am using nAa kernel 10 with MiniCM7-2.1.8 on my X10 Mini Pro with System theme. I use a PIN code for my SIM card. My SD-card is 16GB class 10 with 15.5GB FAT partition followed by 0.5GB EXT4 partition (for apps 2 SD)
My favourite apps that I have running most of the time are Swype, Keyboard Manager, TouchPal Dialer and MortPlayer. These all appear in my Running Services.
I have noticed that MortPlayer has been getting killed recently and I have noticed that Facebook and Maps are running all the time.
I think I am running out of memory and Android is killing MortPlayer. I have frozen Facebook and Maps with Titanium Backup to reclaim the RAM but this now means I have to unfreeze them to before I can use them. This is inconvenient.
At times I got down to 1.2MB RAM free. I had turned on CompCache to 18% but this did not solve all of my problems.
I read somewhere about moving the /data to /sd-ext (cache memory?) - this post is for an Arc but does the same principle apply? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333379).
As my SD card is a fast one can I make the SD card appear as extra RAM? I realise this would slow things down as a fast SD card still cannot beat RAM speed.
Is there any benefit in keeping my /sd-ext partition on my SD card? I thought it would enable me to store more apps on the phone and still be able to plug the SD card into my PC as a mass storage device (seeing the 15.5GB FAT) to copy music while still using the phone (apps being on the 0.5GB EXT4 partition).
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

In my opinion phones with EXT are much slower than normal phones, I talk from my experience. My phone was much slower after i created EXT particion.
To heve more free memory I recomend RAM Manager Pro and 256 swap and of course reformat the SD card with no EXY particion;]

Killing task won't help, since Android must restart all killed (sticky) tasks. Using ICS or later, you can disable many of them at the same place you usually uninstall them -- or uninstall them (mutual exclusive options). Also, don't look at "free memory". Memory is not supposed to be "free". Free memory is wasted memory, and Linux always try to use all memory in the most appropriate way. If fewer apps, more space goes to buffers, caches etc, always resulting about the same amount of free memory in the end.
If you are rooted.. try the greenify app.. which will put the background apps in hibernate mod if they are idle for sometime.. this will save your ram and battery..

IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Hello world,
I have been using several ROMs for my 16GB Nexus 4 and I have a complain about RAM usage: it is never close to its full potential.
I did the following experiment: I opened up lots of apps(dialer, messaging, browser, facebook etc) not very demanding the ram usage was about 50-60% and most of the apps were loaded in RAM as there was no latency in switching between them. The I've opened up GTA 3. And the RAM usage was barely around 60-65%. Overall not much of an increase. I figured out that even though I had over 30% free RAM and android killed my other apps because even though they were in Recents it took the same time to open up.
So my QUESTION is: Is there any way to enable agressive multi tasking (90-95% ram usage) or a way to disable android task killimg mecanics in order to achieve a higher number of apps loaded in ram, therfore improving the overall speed?
Now I am running PSX ROM with S4 patch and Neo kernel
Peace
You can look into supercharging and adding swap or compcache/zram

Thanks for the tips, but I want app switching to be fast, therfore no ZRam. As far as I know zram is slow virtual ram that allows many apps to stay in "memory" but switching to them is not fast. If I am getting something wrong, please tell me. Also I want to use the full potential of my RAM not having maximum 65% in high stress situations.
Try tweaking minfree values, google android ram minfree to get a better concept of it.
Basically its to adjust the number of pages at wich the system will start killing apps/processes with a given priority (foreground, background, services, system, etc).

Yes, exactly that. So keep minfree as low as posible, but still give system core processes the priority. This way, ram will have to be really full (really low free ram) for apps to get killed.
