What is kernel and how do I change it? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using galaxy ace 2 with small RAM..
I need some extra RAM space but my kernel doesnt support swap.. on the other side, swap could degrade my sDCard..
I tried SuperCharger V6 as a solution. But it doesn't help a lot. (Poor performance)
Any solutions or ideas to make my phone's performance better? Thanks for your attention

Buy an Oppo Find 5, and your performance will be 4x times smoother than your Galaxy Ace 2. :laugh:

[Q] whats V6 SuperCharger?

i have seen this name some where in xda,i dont understand its use
can you explain what it is and for what it is used for?
Improves phone's RAM.
You can set it to have more or less free RAM, so you can run apps, that need much RAM(games) or have more apps open at one time(multitasking) or just improve phone's speed.
It changes the minfree amounts, that is when Android starts killing apps to free up RAM.
how can i do it in my xm? can you help me

This is the topic to V6 Supercharger, look in the post, there is guide for Script Manager and Terminal Emulator, both ways can be used.
Make sure your phone is rooted, else it will not work.

Xperia U Real Racing 3

Fellow xda users,
I am not a massive fan of gaming on my android phone but since Real Racing 3 was released I can't get enough of it!
My problem is that when running on my Xperia U it is extremely laggy sometimes and also FC's alot.
Can anyone recommend a gaming optimized rom maybe that can actually handle the games needs or is there any tweaks I can do to get it running better?
I am running the latest cyanogenmod 9, rooted with unlocked boot loader.
I just don't understand how an iPhone 3GS with a 600mhz CPU can run this better than a dual core 1ghz CPU?
Any help is much appreciated!
Daniel Lowery.

HEY buddy
- Try to edit file at folder SDCARD/Android/Data/com.ea.games.r3_row/.depot/eds
- in folder have a file:
1. AndroidHigh.plist
2. AndroidMid.plist
3. AndroidLow.plist
4. AndroidXtraHigh.plist
- just copy another one you wanna use, example you use AndroidLow.plist and paste
- rename to AndroidMid.plist and AndroidHigh.plist (in Xperia U use between 2 both that file but i dont know maybe cant)
- and just try playing you felt fullspeed, no lags

i think i may have a solution to your problem. if you install chainfire 3d (requires root(link at bottom of post)) you can decrease texture quality and/or texture size which will reduce quality nof all apps until disabled but does help lag and memory usage which is probably why you are getting fc because you have run out of memory or it is starting to overheat.

Need more than 250mb ram on xperia u...

frnds.. i want something(rom or kernel or anyting) that will give me 250mb ram(if 250 not possible then anything that will give me as much ram as possible)
But i also want the battery..
help me frndssss
don't think 250 is possible with ICS on 512MB.
some roms claim 200, like Zperience or Aroma? but i haven't tried can't confirm. i think anything over 100mb free after finishing boot is good.
the way Android uses RAM though this is maybe misleading, free RAM by itself isn't really useful, but i know what you mean..

Why you need so much free ram?
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
Try Terra Rom or stock rom with all crap deleted , free Rom doesn't mean that phone will be faster.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
actually i just noticed on a brand new phone with sony official .54 ics installed, nothing removed:
200mb free RAM!
on first boot was 210mb, now is around 185mb on 3rd boot,
weird because i know after setting up apps and accounts etc, AND using Speedy Droid to remove lots of sony stuff, she had only about 50MB free, after a fresh boot. not sure why i have so much more now.

i know.
this phone is slow if you run many complex apps because 512MB is not enough for ICS (google target was 1GB).
free RAM after startup is still a rough guide to how much memory the base ROM is using. do you have a better suggestion?
the comment about 200mb on stock was because many 3rd party roms seem to think they've acheived something when they show 200mb free. i found this is almost same as stock.
I was answering OPs question: no, probably no fully functional ROM gives 250MB free after startup, but the stock .54 can give 200 ish before you install, configure or run anything. then you'll find you have very little free and things tend to get laggy.
if OP posted more specficially about his problem maybe someone can help further..

You don't get it, do you? Having free ram is not achievement and doesn't reflect how fast is your mobile, get your basics right
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Free ram is wasted ram when it could be used to cache apps for faster loading,except when it drops to 0 and apps keep restarting.

Is it possible to increase samsung S duos RAM

I've bought samsung S duos and fiund it better than many other devices .
There is only one simple problem , its ram is too low with running apps .
Can i increase its ram or not and if it possible , how ?
Thank u
Sent from my GT-S7562 using xda premium
Well it isn't physically possible to get more ram because the ram is soldered onto the board and can't be easily removed.

increase in ram is not possible(only by hardware changes)
but ram usage can decrease by dwleting floatwares which causes many processea
As stated above RAM is not changeable on Smartphones.
But you can root your phone and Flash a custom ROM which decreases the RAM usage by applying Optimization tweaks and removing bloatware.

It is not possible to modify the hardware. You can try apps like Greenify to improve the performance. "RAM-boosting" apps are generally pointless since they cause battery drains and/or make performance worse.
Or you can even go for a custom rom like Slim, or Resurrection-Remix, or CM that have less RAM usage than stock Samsung roms.
