My phone became laggy, so i went and checked out the RAM. The only app i opened was messenger, but my RAM had 48mb free. When i first used the CM11 rom, the RAM was high, but after a week it became like this for no reason. I checked all the open apps, counted the memory but i had only used about 100MB. Why is this happening and any suggestions? Thanks

what did you use to check ram use with?
If you look at "settings:apps:running" it only shows partial of RAM used.
i know it doesn't show cached RAM and something else...
have you tried to reboot into recovery and clear cache?
have you tried the build.prop setting and minfree settings like I mentioned in this post?

that should help alot
This is the 'performance control' app that I like to use

Yea i looked at the RAM using "settings:apps:running"
Ill try clearing cache and i got the "performance control" app. I used the settings that you suggested in your screenshot with the performance control app. There's just one thing i don't know how to do and its adjusting the build.prop settings. How do i do that?

Yea so i tried what you suggested, and my Fascinate is running a little better then before. It still can be slow at times, but its still better. I hope the developers make a new Android 5.0 ROM which will have better performance. Thanks for your help

Just out of interested. I have like 545MB free with hardly anything open, is that okay?
564mb free when idle most of the time which is more than enough.

not possible thats the amount of RAM available after the Android System usage. Everyone has that. Using a system tool such as Android assistant to find the actual free RAM after all the background services , etc
unless i am wrong and lightening ROM is a miracle

610-615MB free, could get more but there is some programs that is running when in idle, VillainROM 1.4 "LITE"
347 MB free on stock KE5
About 540 RAM available. Got a problem with my browser though, it isn't RAM-related though. Something wrong with the browser in VillainROM 1.4
I just curious about ram usage on my x10 using feralabs rom for locked bootloader.
If I go to settings---applications---running services it says 168 used and around 20-25 free MB but as far as I know user available ram is 287 MB.
Also, go launcher ex shows around 240/287 MB used ram.
what else is using my ram? and why difference in settings and go launcher ram info?
Its normal mate... When I owned a xperia x10... Faced the same issue... But later came to know it was OK!
Noted by the BEAST!!

Install an app ZDbox, it has great widget called task killer. When you tap it, it will show running apps.
Or if you want extra and complete control even with system running apps, the install OSmonitor, it will show completely all of apps.

The HTC AMAZE is only keeping about a 1/4 of the 1gb free in the latest rom for MIUI. I wanted to know how much others were getting. I have about 288 MB free. How Much are you guys getting?
im getting 475mb no problem,
try cleaning up - take off some unnecessary start-up items
it all depends what apps are running and how often the phone clears memory.
it would also help if he zipaligned the rom. (makes it more ram efficient)
Thanks guys! Ill see what I can do!

Theres an app that was included with the rom called something like "auto start app manager", open it and uncheck all the programs you dont need at startup. also with this rom if you hold down the home button on the phone it shows you currently running apps with a button to kill all, thus freeing up more memory.
also look into zipaligning like ziggy said, i believe the "Pimp my Rom" app on the play store has an option for it.

Bcuz available ram goes to 500mb while using 2 3 apps and phone starts lagging. After reboot the phone works smooth. So need the ram Cleaning App which has got oreo support. Clean master hasn't got the oreo support yet that ik. Anything else?
All RAM cleaners are bull****
What's the point in a RAM cleaner, the apps just start up again anyway why do you even need such an app, try using Greenfy which hibernates apps reducing RAM usage and increasing battery life aswell

Lol this is built in...in developer options...
I got tab s3 days ago. It ran android 9 but since it was so laggy I decided to go back to Oreo but it does not seem to help. It is even laggy when I pull down the status bar, like a phone with 2gb of ram in 2019. I tried a hard reset, revert back to Oreo and wipe /cache in default recovery but nothing helps. Any suggestions for me guys I don't know what's happening with my tablet. Plus that Knox counter has not been tripped yet, Antutu score is 136594 (I find it normal) and it's still water-resistant. Thank you
Yes, this tablet lags as hell. I sold it due to this problem
It's like that since the Pie update. I'm considering a rollback or perhaps a custom ROM if available. Some research must be done. Very disappointing. :/
Install galaxy labs and app booster plugin. It will optimize the apps and your tab forsure function better.

Finally my tab s3 becomes snappier! but dont get me wrong lags still there but lessen a bit... stock andriod Pie.... wanna say thanks buddy! just bought this at amazon 3 days ago for $300.. dont know if ill exchange it for s4 add $200 but thats too much i think.
Interesting, my tab s3 lags a lot too. I originally got this for study (Paramedic school) and for jogging with. Hasn't quite worked out for me yet, but I'm hoping sai444's input will help here. Maybe a rollback too? Still have to research what Galaxy labs an d app booster are lol.
hmmmm, are you sure (as of Nov 2019) that this isn't just the built in device care? My device care says 100% optimised but I know that to be a bit false. Sure the device is relatively healthy but like this title suggests it behaves more like a device with 2GB. I guess a factory reset (again) and just limit the apps I use.
I installed Galaxy Labs from APK Mirror to my Tab S3 and then tried clicking on App Booster. It says the content is not compatible with my tablet. The same message is displayed when I tried the other options.
Anyone else encounter this?

What resolved it for me is disabling via titaniumB. 80~90% of the bloatware.
I'm using oreo.

Please could you detail the process using titaniumB? My Tab S3 constantly freezes/lags and returns "System UI is not responding-Close or wait (as options)". It's so frustrating.
What apps are considered bloatware??
Well, in TB you have the option to froze any app, if something is broken you can unfroze.
There are others apps that can do this too.
You can search for lists in the internet of bloatware in samsung devices, but you can start searching in the TB for samsung, then all the samsung stuff will be shown, then you can start freezing.
Freeze a few things(try to search what that package is) then restart. If something is wrong unfroze some, reboot and check.
It takes time.
Get root and set swappiness to 0. If you want to get high performancemance at the expense of battery set governor to performance. Trust me, it's worth it
