S3 i9300 ram - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know about a method to increase ram ?

Use Roehsoft RAM Expander. In very short words to explain what it does, less storage, more RAM

You should try zram. I'm using arter97 kernel and it's in the aTweaks app

Buy more?

hard way : deal that you have this much only
Zram compcache! While it actually eats ram space abit it does help with multitasking

try ram manager..it really boost's up your phone but don't use any scripts then it will not show any change.
Probably yes
u can increase your ace ram size by changing to ace 2

Ace 2 = refrsher model(same specs maybe, new look)
Ace Plus = better, has 1 Ghz CPU, 512 mb ram
Ace Duo = Dual sim version of original Ace
Ace(original) = my phone, I love it.
that is for the clarification,
and no, you cant upgrade the memory of our beloved Ace, unless you are a technician and you can do it yourself...
my next phone would be ace 2 or sgs3

Ace 2 it's not a refreshment model.It comes with a dual core 800mhz processor and is HDPI, so it's lots better than galaxy ace
Sent from my SamsungGalaxyAce with my hands,take it or leave it
zram may help
zram (and sometimes called compcache) may help you, but it increases the computing of CPU, which may consume more power and produce more heat. Actually it's a tradeoff, for mobile devices CPU time is usuallt as expensive as RAM.

Dude u r wrong at this. As per gsmarena.com Ace 2 has got 768 MBs of RAM with an extra core clocked at 800Mhz. Not 1 gig RAM

If you don't know......768MB + Video memory + ROM memory = 1GB
An extra core clocked at 800Mhz.....same as dual core

Will using a custom kernel help in high ram usage?

Omega v39...
I think, kernel doesn't really matter.
It depends on how your ROM clean is, and low memory killer.
Because as I aways use Siyah in different ROM with different bloat applications removed.
Some of ROM was left about 100 MB free memory, some of was 150.
Currently use omega v40, left about 150 mb at this moment as I am typing , I guess if I kill all apps it should be up to over 200 mb free memory
The thing really worries me is battery.
I have 2 additional battery, which make me have 3 batteries in total, but I still can't hang on a day usage...

[Q] RAM Expansion??

I'm just wondering if there is any way to expand the amount of RAM on my Galaxy Ace 2. I have Jelly Bean installed

Not physically, but you can go from round 400mb ram to 600 if you install JB correctly. There are pro's and con's of this though from reading around the place.
Ps. There is a Q & A section for a reason.
RAM Swap
I am not sure, but i guess u can use ram swap to do this. Google it!
AFAIK we have no kernel that supports SWAP at the moment.
BTW I find SWAP unnecessary since we have a lots of RAM.
dont know about RAM, but for Swap, i use it

D-kernel should be able to... And mind you, you are using the L variant if im not wrong. Who says its not possible. And we have enough ram for normal usage. But gaming? You'll need at least a Gig of ram...

Yep, my mistake, D-Kernel supports SWAP. But in my opinion SWAP doesn't bring any noticeable improvement. You would need a high class SD card an it will always be slower than RAM.
And I don't think that phones in general are good for gaming. But that's just my opinion.

Try zRam, it might be something you're looking for.
But you need a custom kernel, like boeffla for ex.

Theoretically no, but some kernels (I don't know as it happens) can extend ram of 20-30 MB respect to the physical memory.
As many users said, you can try zRam, but be careful not exceeding, or your phone may have slowdown due to the cpu overload.

That's the total amount available to be used (minus system/GPU).

Hahha, true
In fact, system alone sits 700MB and more RAM so it is impossible to have such result of free RAM.

1.5-1.8GB free

Android cares about free RAM, that's why it kills processes when it's running low, unlike with Windows, when it just chugs a long (and uses pagefile).

It cares, but it is better when more ram is used. It also kills the least recently (or least important) used process when it needs ram.

I guess knowing how much free RAM gives us a sense of available overhead for the future. Adjusting the LMK to make use of the available free RAM isn't a bad idea.
