hello!my problem is that i tried soooo many roms and i always get the same result....the phone becomes too slow...what i mean is that if i try to open for example dial or phonebook it can take up to 3-4 seconds to launch,while i see some other xperia devices cheaper and slower to lanch theese in under a second??is there anything i can do??what is the problem?
I will not say it is a ROM problem, but (maybe) a configuration problem. Have you checked the apps you have running in background?
If you have lots of running apps, it takes a time to upload new apps.
well, I would say Neo is not a high performance device. only 384MB RAM available in total (after loading of my few background apps I have 40-60MB free)? I think it slows the device and of course the tiny internal memory, so everything has to be read from SD, which is "slower" in fact comparing to internal flash memory.
So, that question is appropriate I would say.
Try moAOKP ROM with Fusion Kernel

Or you install FusioN you can get 389 MB of RAM. Then you can get around 100 of free RAM. It will depend on how many apps you have running. You can also OC to 1.6 ( at your own risk).

I'm running dagr8s alpha 2 ics rom. And I know that it has lower ram than the gb roms. But lately I have been running Tasker (amazing app btw) numbers and it keeps notifying me that I have low ram and it might not work properly. I go to applications in settings and check my ram and it says I only have 98mb free. I end all tasks and clear ram and then still I have like 120-130 free. I'm afraid that this is a too low amount. And wanted your opinions on what I should do. Is this enough should I just ignore the warnings will Tasker still run fine? How can I get more ram? Are any of you also experiencing low ram?

Taller uses ram also. I run trebuchet launcher on alpha 2 and have no real issues. If it gets slow you can hold home and clear things out. Running a lot of widgets still affect ram also.

If you go to developer options in settings at the bottom and select the background processes and set it to 3 processes at most that helps alot...also if u change ur dalvik heap to 64 that also helps a ton...DO NOT and I repeat do not set it below 64 as u will soft brick your phone

You must understand how Android uses memory, it loads your frequentlyused programs into ram so when you go to use them, they open much faster than if they would if they had to open "fresh" each time.the lmk (low memory killer) should take care of everything if you ate currently using a process that uses a lot of memory it will kill off apps as it needs to.
Put simply: FREE RAM IS WASTED RAM.
Have a marine navigation program "Navionics USA EAST" that wouldn't open in ICS(leak and Saurom) unless I cleared RAM. No issue onstock GB, and runs fine on sgh-i777 ICS? Tried debloating leak, but didn't help much. Will try limiting running programs when back on ICS.

Free Ram is wasted ram. Never thought about it like that. I understand but i would still like some free ram just so its available for other apps i open. I did use the task manager to kill running apps and clear ram and it didnt free up that much ram that is why i was worried.
Ill try limiting background proccess to .
Also how do i set dalvik heap to 64? And what exactly does this accomplish?
Thanks for the replies guys.
Yes set it to 3 processes at most. Task manaher killers r just crap dnt use them

Welcome to ICS. This is exactly why I DONT like ICS - the memory footprint is huge just for ICS alone.
Free ram is not entirely wasted ram.
Let me explain.
So, my phone RAM is completely (or nearly) filled and I open a new app. There is now a long delay as Android goes to work closing app(s) down and doing garbage collection to free up memory for the new app I just tried to open but it only frees up enough for the one app I just opened.
And now, every app I go to open is going to have this long delay.
What you really want is about 80% ram usage - enough that there is free ram to open new apps without Android having to scurry around to free up a bunch of memory.
I dont know if there is a way to force a certain amount of ram to be free but imo, thats what youd really want.
I only have 6 user apps on my phone and Im running stock GB so even if I opened everything at once, there would be plenty of ram to have them open all at once (Go Launcher, Blue Skies (paid), Battery Power Widget, System Tuner Pro, BeyondPod, & Audible).
It's called "minfree memory," what you want is an app that will allow you to modify those values. Back when I had a Captivate, I used an app called AutoKiller for that purpose. I haven't needed it on the Note though. You can find it in the Android market.
Is it possible for apps to crash when the phone doesnt have enough free memory (RAM)?
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
How much RAM do you guys have available when running GB. The phone only sees 767Mb of RAM out of the 1Gb is that normal?
yea i think thats normal because the phone system uses some of that ram to make the phone work. Like if you ever had a sd card or an ipod that was say an 8gb ipod you actually only have like 7.66gb free.
But yeah I would like more ram availabe so the phone can load apps quickly and wont have to waste time closing stuff. I dont think free ram is wasted ram
As said before, Android uses ram differently since it based upon Linux. If the entire ROM runs around 600-800mB and most of it gets loaded into RAM, this will leave you with 400-200mB free RAM but the entire OS is already loaded and ready to go! Once you load a RAM intensive application, Android/Linux kernel will free space for that application.
I believe GPU consumes an excess of RAM to handle this beast's resolution/size.
I have to go back to GB. Delay in apps opening is getting old compared to i777 daily driver.

Thanks for the info, guys.
If I root my S3 is it possible to make more ram available to me?
With all apps closed I have 650/780 being used so that only leaves me with 130mb of ram.

Jesus. There's a huge panic now because the variant has 2 gigs of ram...

You actually have more free, but the android has a lot of it saved for caching, etc. For example, Facebook takes 40 mb, but when I open it only like 5 or 10 mb of the ram shown as "available" is taken away because parts of it are actually open already.
But yes, if you root it, and a developer adjusts the Minfree to a large amount you will have more free but your phone will probably be slower.
Folks need to keep in mind, that keeping RAM free as you would with a Windows based OS, is NOT ideal in Android. Android uses RAM completely differently and it is perfectly okay for your phone to make use of RAM, even for apps you are not currently using.
There's a fair amount of documentation out there about this - do some Google-fu to deep dive further.
Actually I ask because when I was trying to send a picture in whatsapp it kept sayin "try again" but when I closed all tasks in multitask the picture did send. So I'm guessing it is a ram problem.
Also take it easy on Mr. This is my first android phone, I've been using iphone since the 3g and don't know nothing about android..... yet

You don't really want to much free ram. If there is to much free ram it means apps are not going in to cache witch will mean really slow app loading times. 200-300mb free is ample for new apps to run, if the OS needs more then its auto memory management will come in to play to free up more if needed, android is a very smart peace of kit

if anyone were to choose pre-caching order for faster load times ( usually just by seconds than non-pre-cached) to no random force closes because there is more free memory, they would chose more free memory.
but since the experts have already said android memory doesn't work the same way like windows does, then the best would be a balance between cache and free memory. right? right. that's where official updates and dev fixes come in.
Hey guys. Since i have my new s3 i ve noticed that sometimes apps in background close them self. For example if im on the browser i go answer a txt msg then came back to browser and page re loads itself like i re open it.
I know that when the ram is full the phone close apps. I started monitoring my ram and at start the phone i have always around 300mb. Dont thinks is much but its ok.
The thing is that as soon as i start using my phone memory left is 150mb at best. Even though i close apps and left the phone "rest" for an hour. There it stays. Then is when the automatically close apps issue starts. I download ram manager pro and set differents profiles. And ram still works as bad as before.
Something is keeping my ram and i dont know what is. I have all regulars apps. Twitter..facebook(both with sync deactivated)...whatsapp. not much more.
Any ideas?

have you changed the build prop delvik heap size to lower the ram used. should free up some more ram for the user.
thats the only thing i know that will give you more ram to work with.....i honestly did not (EVER) see any Ram issues on my phone until i jumped to Jelly Bean ( memory Leak) so i dont think that you should have a problem.

my phone becomes so slow because of low ram availability , when i free ram many applications are shown in go launcher task manager that i didnt open, when i run games they run so slow but when i open youtube they appear to be fast on the same phone
I've been having this trouble too. It was Sony that suggested to me that my problems could be RAM related. God help us on Jelly Bean. I've deleted many apps and still don't know what to do.
Hi everyone, I'm running fully stock latest nougat software, and I seem to have an issue with the phones ram management, using the dev check app I see that even when there are no apps running I only get around 1500 megabytes of ram available out of 3780, which seems inappropriate, since this phone is running pure Android. Would be nice to know if anyone else is having the same issue, and if so, are there any suggestions on how to solve it
Same, my RAM is filled up to 2.7-3.2 GB usually, with not too many apps installed. But I guess it just caches a lot and frees those caches once you actually need the ram

I have motor z with unlocked bootloader, stock rom 7.0, added some app , now used ram indicated in settings are 1.8 from 3.7 . It's litlle high , but the reffernce ia for last 3 hours. Not in real time.
This is fairly normal with Android, and linux in general. MOst of your RAM usage is coming from caching.
To get a better feel for this, you would want to go to developers options > running services.
If we take mine for example:
Settings > RAM says 2.3GB in a 3 hour period.
If I look in that developer option:
1.5GB is dedicated to the System
865MB for APPS
Which gives me 1.3GB Free
If I move over to the Cached portion I see that 872MB is being used for cached processes.
