[Q] Which app shows real free RAM? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I own a Xoom 2 MZ616. I wish a widget or a permanent icon in status bar that shows me real RAM available. At the moment i have 3 different sources : Settings ->Apps->Running , LMT Launcher ( along pie ) and Memory Status.
The problem is each of them show me way too different number such : Settings shows me 218MB free, LMT Launcher shows 11MB free and Memory Status indicates 72MB free.
Which one should i consider real one?
Thanks alot.

Consider in settings because it's a system app and also it's knows better your device ram than any third party app

Settings is the worst because it hides a Lotta processes in the calculation. Even the cache won't show up directly.
I use "cool tool" which u can see at the notification bar in the screen shot.

Try Advanced task killer and see which app gives you similar results.

rather difficult indeed for the applications in accordance with the actual conditions of the memory android, but it's worth a try one by one before deciding to use it for a long time.

If u want to know your free ram, no need to use app just type 'free' in terminal emulator.

I did but it is reported only a small free RAM (69764 free 995376 Total). Only this command reports so low free RAM, is it correct? (e.x. OS Monitor reports 310M Free RAM out of 972M Total).
Thanks

Yes, that the true amount of your RAM, If u want know more about the RAM then go here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39729607

Used by android. Android needs ram allocated to it to perform.

Yeah, it is used by the base system. And we have 512 MB RAM.
So guys you also have 200-250mb free ram like me or more?
i have 325mb free ram and 71 used ram.

It also depends on the kernel, rom and apps you use.

its normal...here's mine
So our phone has 512 mb ram.
in CM it is reported as 420mb, means that the 92MB is system reserved. The 130 mb reported is quite high because of your apps, GO launcher Ex already taking up 31mb.....in kernel it usually just affects the distribution of ram (killing apps etc).
Actually is better to go to settings>about phone>scroll down to meminfo, it's more accurate.

GO Launcher is heavy, I think, (and many others too). If you want a different kind of launcher, try SS Launcher. or the Xperia S Launcher.
92MB RAM system only
420MB user
Edit: the same is for all 512MB RAM devices

[Q] How can I get More RAM?

Just wanted to know if there was a way to increase my Free RAM on this device. Some ROM's I have run have about 150megs free while others have less, the current ROM I running has 200megs free. Other than killing a running app or task, is there a way to free up more? Or is this just how this device works?

I've tried lots of roms and none had more free ram than UR Rom. But it does take more time to set up than other roms because its light, which is great IMO. O wish it had 2gb of ram like the S3. If it did it would be perfect. By the way I hate the s3.

If your running sense and dont mind disabling sense aspects of your rom, you can freeze sense and run another launcher like ADW. When i was running the older viper i did see on average another 100 megs of ram open.
Or you could go aosp and win right there just saying

UR is the rom I running now. I would like to keep sense, I understand that freezing/removing will lighten it up. So until CM is fully functioning, I want to try to make the most of what I have.
I'll probably add swap when I get around to playing with the kernel in the mean time if u have tasker u can set up a profile to bulletproof apps, I was pissed when dolphin closed while watching hulu on the EVO LTE, it has 2x the ram of my og EVO but less avaible for me to use
Tasker profile active when dolphin running in foreground:

RAM Management

As you know, Android integrated a Memory Management Mechanism that allow system to kill some apps to free RAM for those RAM-tiger apps like games and browsers.
That's good, but it's quite annoying sometimes, when I quit a game or browser the home launcher always take several seconds to reload icons and widgets.
I hope Launcher,Contacts,Phone,SMS these frequently-used apps can be LOCKED INTO RAM so it can starts quickly when I need it.
So I'm looking for some app can Lock app into RAM, but I've found nothing I want.
Then I remembered there is a Memory Management function in DX Toolbox might be useful more or less.
There is 4 settings in DX Toolbox:
first is system default setting(can not be changed), and the other 3 are DX Toolbox's 3 different settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There is only 19+29+24+37+49+43=201mb RAM of the system default setting:
but there is 227+113=340mb RAM in total of my ROM:
So I modified one of the settings like this, 30+30+65+65+70+80=340mb:
Then I just wanna know am I correct.....?
And how should I set these values.....?
If you ask me, I rather you go ask Zeppelinrox, the God of Android-Ram-Manager

Pim My Rom can lock apps in the memory - but I don't think it's that useful because Ray only has 512mb.
The latest CM10 build is very fast - so much so that I don't really think such tweaks are really necessary.
Ultimately the Ray is not a power user phone, I'm amazed what the developers here have managed to do, but it's limited by its hardware and can only be taken so far.
Nothing will work for it since xperia ray only have 400mb ram "why you guys say 512mb? check by your self thats a sony lie sometimes we have only 358mb" the only thing xperia ray users can do for ram is use some apps who can help the only one's i found are:
Ram Manager Pro
Speed booster
Ram booster pro
Those one's are the only hope to get a... decent ram management

Floating toucher consumes too much battery

I installed the app Floating toucher on my S5. I really love it.
The only problem is that it consumes too much of the battery. Attached is the picture of how much % the app consumes battery compares to others. It even consumes more power then the screen.
Not sure if anyone have the same problem?
Any solution for that should be great!!!

I like it coz it brings up some apps I often use most with just two touch by one hand.
With screen getting bigger and bigger now, getting anything using one hand is not possible. That apps quite convenience in that sense..

To be honest I'm not sure if it works but it at least gives me a feeling of a kind of protection better than nothing.. just in case.
In which basis could you say avast antivirus is bad?
Btw which app would you recommend???
I have been using the floating toucher for ages (on S4, Note3 and S5) and it never shows up as using any significant battery or phone resources. Have you try clearing data for it?

[Q] Constant lag problem

Hi all,
I have Innjoo i1 device specs here
512 MB Ram - MT6852 Quad Core 1.3 GHZ - Android 4.2.2 JellyBean
And this is my memory details
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem is the device constantly lags/freezes..in nearly all apps..
And my main launcher "Themer" takes a long time to load every time I press the "home" button while I'm in any other app.
What's causing this? I think my free memory is fine to make the device run smooth.
Please help and thank you.
disable some built in apps eg. google play service, google play store Facebook, gmail, google maps also uninstall background running apps from app manager or if you've rooted phone use greenify

No solution, really. It'd run better on Kit Kat, but I didn't find any custom ROMs available. You could try different launchers and find one that's lighter.
