Anyone noticed that our devices give only on avg 140 mb of free ram even on cm it gives 190 mb
while on samsung devices i have noticed thy give 280mb of ram even on the official blotware version
and also on my xperia play on cm 9 i get 240 mb of free ram but on sola it hardly surpasses 190 mb ?? using ram booster
My tipo gives more than 200 mb free ram

Hmm, I'm also wondering what's hogging the ram.
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
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.

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.

450mb is plenty. You're not going to find the "minimalistic" launcher you think you need. Pretty much every launcher has already been suggested to you. You're not going to find one that only uses a couple of mb of ram. I don't know why you would need a

I was thinking of rooting ny phone, will the warranty be void if i do? I got thus phone at radioshack and swapped my sim from another phone.
I wounder what radioshacks return policy is and if they have a wwarranty.
But ill keep that in mind, "ram manager" what dies it do?
Also, 450mg is not enough when att has put a bunch of gay apps that take up around 100mb of storage and they randomly come on in the background, the task killers i have don't kill them so i have to go force stop them.
Also I'm not spamming, i found forums who were looking for stud like that so i suggested.

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.

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).

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.

I think that this program is doing his job. It's lagging when is swaping the memory, and for the first two minutes after the process ends. the only problem is that, the home launcher is lagging sometimes, but apps starts faster and are working pretty well till now. And i forgot to say that the battery drains out just a little bit faster, but is just a small problem.
This app is a fake, after all. My phone was lagging like hell. I tried it on heavy games, but i was disappointed.
I worked on a new ROM for xperia u and i think i did a very good job. Heavy games are working perfect, 120-130% battery life, lots of free ram, improoved download speed and etc, etc. I will post my ROM very son. I will upload later the video proof.

Think that your phone is a PC. The only way to have lots of ram on your PC is to buy more ram. Why isn't any program for pc that expands rams?? because there is nothing that can substitute or replace ram. The idea is that: you cannot buy more rams for a phone and all this apps like ram expadnder won't do a thing. (my oppinion)
Not much difference with this app on my XU
