what firmware are you using?

Omega v39...

I think, kernel doesn't really matter.
It depends on how your ROM clean is, and low memory killer.
Because as I aways use Siyah in different ROM with different bloat applications removed.
Some of ROM was left about 100 MB free memory, some of was 150.
Currently use omega v40, left about 150 mb at this moment as I am typing , I guess if I kill all apps it should be up to over 200 mb free memory
The thing really worries me is battery.
I have 2 additional battery, which make me have 3 batteries in total, but I still can't hang on a day usage...

Which rom has got the best ram?

Hello Guys!
No, it's not the typical "Which is the best rom?" question. I just want to know, which rom has got the most free ram without any downloaded apps?
I want to have a second rom next to resurrection remix for longer time period without charging, so I didn't want to try out all of the roms, maybe you could advice me some roms.
Thanks
Without any downloaded apps?
So im running RootBox now since a long times and it's pretty good, even with Ram. But I can't say how it will feel without any apps, but I think even more better then, so try this

Android doesn't like free RAM, they despice it.
GB use less RAM than ICS, and ICS use less RAM than Jelly Bean.

[Q] RAM Expansion??

I'm just wondering if there is any way to expand the amount of RAM on my Galaxy Ace 2. I have Jelly Bean installed

Not physically, but you can go from round 400mb ram to 600 if you install JB correctly. There are pro's and con's of this though from reading around the place.
Ps. There is a Q & A section for a reason.
RAM Swap
I am not sure, but i guess u can use ram swap to do this. Google it!
AFAIK we have no kernel that supports SWAP at the moment.
BTW I find SWAP unnecessary since we have a lots of RAM.
dont know about RAM, but for Swap, i use it

D-kernel should be able to... And mind you, you are using the L variant if im not wrong. Who says its not possible. And we have enough ram for normal usage. But gaming? You'll need at least a Gig of ram...

Yep, my mistake, D-Kernel supports SWAP. But in my opinion SWAP doesn't bring any noticeable improvement. You would need a high class SD card an it will always be slower than RAM.
And I don't think that phones in general are good for gaming. But that's just my opinion.

Phone running slow

My SGS2 is running slower these days. i am currently on jb 4.1.2.what to do for faster operation.
factory reset .. install apps only which you need the most .. avoid installing apps which say they improve phone's accuracy and battery .. such apps are battery hoggers and tend to slow your phone ..

i did that but still the phone is ruuning slower. always the RAM memory shows an allocation of minimum 750-850 MB. Is it a time to go for new phone ???
You're not meant to have a lot of free RAM, that won't give you 'better' performance. Android hates free RAM by design, more free RAM won't give you better performance like it would on a PC.
The advice you've been given to factory reset & get rid of the bloat is sound, 'battery saving' apps like Greenify/etc are mostly rubbish & a waste of money. I would go one further and recommend a clean install of your rom every couple of months & only restoring data for apps you actually use.

Friend, how long have you used this ROM. Generally, every ROM seems fast at first installed but after times of using it all becomes slow.

8sec? our phone does not have ssd man.
Mine boots in about 40 sec I guess.
Anyway, what rom do you use that it boots this fast? I tried apolo once, worser performance and no battery difference compared to dorimanx.

why galaxy s3 working laggy with samsung stock roms

as i described phone is slower than my old sgs2.s2 was running smoothly 4.1.2 . even 4.1.2 laggy on my sgs3.now using custom roms but samsung based roms fail for me.is it only my phone or sgs3 fails???my antutu score with s3 21212 on archidroid.
Touchwiz roms are like this due to Samsung. Benchmarks show nth as manufacturers have some cheating methods to make the score higher.

Use other ROM based tw. Its better than stock. Smooth
Battery friendly.?
In my experience 4.1.2 as mg4 was the most stable and fast stock version. After that including 4.1.2 and 4.3 stocks all were laggy and had less battery performance. However, I couldn't find any aosp based custom rom work flawless or at least stable. Each one has its own bugs. Slimkat doesn't support exfat, liquidsmooth was very very laggy and cm has some fc issues etc. As a consequence at least stock one is the stable one.

I was on 4.1.2 since i bought my s3, i decided to try 4.3 and i switched to Android Revolution HD 51 in combination with Boeffla kernel, and i must say performance is way much better and also the battery life, with 4.1 i got somewhere around 4h of screen on time, and with 4.3 i get close to 5h of screen on time, also to mention over the night battery drops only 1% if wifi on and 0% with airplane mode on, preety impressive, you just have to find your way to customize it for daily use

No my wake locks seem normal though there was a suspicious one, I don't remember it's name exactly, but I'll tell when I find it out, only thing I know that it's audio related but I don't think that's it... Other than that battery just melts leaving me with 1-2 hours screen time (on stock 4.1.2) I'll try flash a different rom and I'll tell you what changed

In fact, system alone sits 700MB and more RAM so it is impossible to have such result of free RAM.

Android cares about free RAM, that's why it kills processes when it's running low, unlike with Windows, when it just chugs a long (and uses pagefile).

It cares, but it is better when more ram is used. It also kills the least recently (or least important) used process when it needs ram.

I guess knowing how much free RAM gives us a sense of available overhead for the future. Adjusting the LMK to make use of the available free RAM isn't a bad idea.
