[Q] About the amount of RAM Avalible - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
As you know the i9300 have 1GB RAM (1024MB)
But in the ROM i can only see 833MB.
I'm wondering why.
I was thinking why but i couldn't find any answer to this one.

Because the os itself uses a certain amount of ram leaving you whatever left as free ram

Touchwiz and a lot of memory eating bloatware.

So if i see 833MB avalible, the rest of the ram what's left (833 + System occupied = 1024MB)?
Btw i'm not using TW ROM i use AOKP

I think it was occupied by GPU as using for Graphics process...
1024 - 833 is 191, so 191 MB of RAM is GPU memory, not for CPU
It is normal, Every phone I have came across have same thing, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3

Actually memory is reserved by kernel for camera, GPU, screen buffer.
With perseus you can about extra 10 mb

512mb ram only 278mb ram usable
Somebody daring should allow more user ram. That'll be awesome, if the reserved ram is not fully utilized.

That's normal for the S3, touchwiz uses a lot of ram. Don't worry about it.

You can try removing some Samsung bloat from your rom you'll find it in /system/app
There are lists here on xda.
There is a bloat removal tool in original development sub-forum.

It is normal that the hardware info is showing only 787 mb of ram? where is the the other amount? Thx
Yes it's normal, it's a sacrifice that has to be made in order to fix the memory leak.

Is your phone laggy or freezing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
you might wanna re-flash that ROM, 150 mb free is way too much RAM usage.
how many app do u have installed? what happens when you clean RAM?
When I clean it it only drops 50 MB or so
And no my phone doesn't lag or frees but I can only run 1or 2 application s at a time
Is there no way to clean/reset ram because before I flashed RR my ram was fine (PS I came from cm10)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
that is kinda loco, try re-flashing and you'll probably be fine.
OK I'll try it tnx

How did you install it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The problem you're experiencing could be a bug in the ROM your phone is running, Try reporting it to its developer.
Via Cwm recovery I flashed it

@OP, are you on the latest version of RR? If not, update to the latest. Memleak was an AOSP bug for I9100 a few months back, but was fixed.

Jb porting

1)Nova Thor sources are available right? The thing I can't understand is why can't jb work smoothly on our device? I also have a galaxy ace running smoothly on jb. However Xperia u has much better specs right? I actually wanted to try porting one of the galaxy ace roms.
2) how to change android version number in settings? I saw that being done in one of the galaxy ace roms..

1) developer are trying to port which is near stable but RAM issues causing our device. But JB is smooth now. Check FXP CM10.
2) if you want to change, follow this instructions.
go to "/system" with root explorer
mount r/w
long click to build.prop
open with text editor
check this line
ro.build.version.release =
or similar to that line, search for it.
then change the value to anything. then save and reboot.

Regarding the first point however galaxy ace has only 279 mb ram while Xperia u has 378 mb wouldn't porting such a room mean that much more ram would be available.
Anyway I think that Samsung devices use lesser ram. Maybe that's due to touchwiz or due to lack of features like front camera, led bar and usb otg

You can't compare to Novathor devices which has low ram even 378 mb. Developments and devices cannot be the same even they have the same specs or higher specs. It depends on the sources also.
