Roehsoft ram expander seems not to work for me. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA, I use an itel it506 android phone which has less than 512mb of RAM and exact 5.5gb of internal storage. Of course anyone seeing this should know how slow the phone can be when it comes to multitasking and playing of some good quality games. I did a research on google on how to increase the RAM of an android phone and got introduced to the app called RAM EXPANDER developed by ROEHSOFT (which increases the ram virtually not physically but using a part of the sdcard as RAM) but after following the tutorials, not just in a particular site but also tutorials from other sites I have no luck , the worse part of it is this, I introduced this same solution to a friend of mine that has the same problem on his tecno phone and it solved his problem making his phone 70% faster according to him. The question is why doesn't it work for my itel? Is it that it doesn't support itel phones or what? Cos I have tried it on my first itel 1501 of the same category of RAM size with this it1506 and no luck also, or is it something I am doing wrong. Please help

This is the wrong subforum, You will need to post in the "other Android devices" subforum to recieve help (I forget the exact name of the subforum, sorry about that).
This subforum is strictly about the Exodus custom ROM, not about miscellanious issues on any device's stock ROM.

OK thanks.. I was even also confused on where to put it cos I didn't see a particular sub forum for posting problems

No problem, perhaps the XDA Assist threads will help you, it's under the General Discussions subforum.

OK thanks a lot, I'll do just that.

tanx bro:laugh:
Nothing wrong with the Desire X at all.
Mine works fine with ICS. I am waiting for the latest JB to come out bugless:fingers-crossed:
I just had a LCD screen issue that the suppliers fixed under warranty.
The phone does everything that it is supposed to do.
If you look after your phone, it will look after you.

yes, look at name of threads or google
and beware, there are some grammar nazis who would eat you alive for last post
btw if you have enough funding, get some nexus device (as much as I like my dx, I had to say that)
I can tell you that I am very happy with my Desire X, when running on a custom rom it is incredibly fast, especially for this price.

exactly, best price/performance ratio I have ever seen in smartphone area, but still, it isnt flagship, never was intended to be, never will be. If you want good phone for good price, go for it, I can only recomend. If you want really high-end phone, or just bigger screen, there are other options, but not DX.
if you have a low budget then buy this phone... its not that big and super fast for games and others...
if you can afford a more expensive phone then buy something better
but just to know that devs started working a lot on this phone and it will become a lot faster
Am looking phone for gaming without lags
which is best for tat?
not much costlier
I would say go for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini . It's got 1GB RAM , more internal storage and a better graphic chipset .
It's just a little more expensive .
One of my friends has it and it just feels alot more polished and smooth . The extra-RAM are no big deal though . I can play NOVA 3 on my DX and still have about 100mb+ free RAM , but on S3M it lags less . I guess the graphic chipset helps alot .

"Free ram" is windows bull****, android has nothing to do with windows or the way how they works or handle ram, since its basicaly a linux distro...

Ok, why dont you try and open as many apps until the ram is full. Then try to use your phone, see what happens.

Nope do some tests before you say that. In windows when the ram is full or already used or the program needs more the program crashes then you have to close/exit it manually. In android the system closes apps automatically to free up more ram for the app that you are currently using. More free ram= less lag. Ever wonder why there are so many scripts for ram/memory managment if free ram is useless. Anyway no use convincing you. Hehe just sharing what i understand. Cheers

The Nexus 4 is nice yes, but still not the best, it has many problems and features that didn't work right and some bugs which Google didn't fix for many updates....
If you have enough money, I would choose the new HTC One

desire x is a good device dont bother looking for galaxy s3 mini its not released nor will it release in india.The nexus 4 if released at the US price point is an excellent buy else if from what i have heard @500$ seems kindof pricey.
Look at LAVA XOLO Q800,Micromax Canvas HD, Spice Titanium s1 ,and all the other local brands if you aren't so hung up about custom roms(I for one am).
If you are willing to wait for say a month or so there is Xperia L(Available for preorder) ,Optimus L9 And ofcourse there is Galaxy Grand.
EDIT: #zen-mode-ON
the desire X is the true choice of Needs and Wants it is actually everything that you need(yes gaming is also very good eg Dead Trigger). But then what exactly you want a 10 inch screen 16 core processor 1TB ram the demands are endless so you have gotta make a choice a balance between needs and wants.

I am not saying that every last piece of ram is used by cache, after phone reboot, you have plenty of free ram, until you start acctualy use apps and fill cache a bit, but linux is working with ram not unlike windows, you said that yourself. I never said memory management is useless, ofc it is usefull, a lot, my point was that claiming "I can play NOVA 3 on my DX and still have about 100mb+ free RAM" has same value as "I had pancakes yesterday" ... I could have, while playing nova 3 much more free ram if I am after phone reboot (and plenty of other ways), I can have less free ram if I used plenty of apps before, it still wont change quality of gameplay, smoothness or anything (unless you really try to make it laggy with anything you have got, which is possible ofc).
quick edit: I am multitasker, I have never met any lag apart from starting apps and other "regular ones" android is handling this pretty good

ok got your point.i have a different experience so maybe we have different opinions. no point in debating. cheers
to the ts. i really dont like the cpu and gpu combo in the dx.. gpu not that good.. if it had a better gpu maybe i would buy this. go find a device with a good gpu from mid to high. this is just low end gpu. adreno 203 < sgx 531 based on my experience and benchmarks. so better find a cellphone with a good gpu that how i choose a new phone though.

I didn't mean that having more free RAM is a bonus , I just wanted to point out that RAM is not something to take into consideration when gaming . Speciffically , that it's got more than enough for any high-end game . Having enough or more than enough are both better than NOT having enough at all .
Indeed I am a lot more familiar with Windows' way of dealing with RAM , however I've seen how Linux works as well , and even though you are right in saying that using more RAM grants you better multitasking , the way Android handles the RAM on the DX is far from perfect . From my experience , Samsung devices manage RAM A LOT better than any other brand I've tried so far (at least on low / middle end devices) . HTC doesn't do a bad job , but it's not to be praised either , at least not on the DX . Then again , look at an LG's RAM management and you'll most likely start crying xD !

[Q] Fake RAM capacity on Bluebo (chinese) phone

Hi all,
Actually I looked around for a while but couldn't find any topic related to this story.
I have bought a Bluebo B9500 chinese phone and been using it for a while now. To be honest, it is not that bad except the fact that some ROM's show a fake hardware config. CPU, board name, resolution, storage capacity and sensors are all fake!! nothing really bad so far but the worst is coming... My real problem is with the RAM. even the RAM was fake! showing 2GB of usable ram when the real hardware is only 512MB.
As a consequence, when the used ram grows bigger than the real (available) physical ram, some apps start crashing, restarting and acting weird.
I downloaded few kernels for this phone and luckily one of them was telling the truth about the RAM but got some troubles with the digitizer.
So..
My idea was to decompress both boot.img files and put the healthy ramdisk and kernel.img parts together and drop the sick ones to get a working boot.img file. I proceeded with my idea and used some tools that i've found here in the forum but when i flashed the .IMG, the phone couldn't start again.
It doesn't even show the boot logo.
Any idea or any useful hint about how to get the correct RAM in my kernel?
Thanks a lot
hi, i have the same problem, how can i fix it ?
thanks.
Hi, have you been able to fix this problem. I'm arguing about RAM and camera resolution with the seller of my B9500. I've also got problems with the touchscreen / digitizer.

[Q] Anyone tried swap on this device?

So has anyone tried swap on this device?
I was thinking that we might be able to increase ram operation if there was a swap partition.
I'm not exactly sure if it will work....
If anyone see's this thread and has a class 10 micro sd card and they want to try it please let me know how it affects the benchmarking results.
(I'd do it, but I have a crappy class 4)

I tried using swap for awhile on my old HD2 which only had .5gb, but not here. The question I have to ask is why? In most of the current ROMs developers have already added scripts that kill dormant processes to free up real memory. Even when I've got a dozen apps open I've got plenty of RAM available. What kind of out of memory issues are you experiencing where you think swap would help?

Well it's not exactly a out of memory problem. I just wanted to see if the performance would be affected if a linux swap partition for ram would increase or decrease the ram operation.
I know we don't have the most high end device out there, but the specs are supposed to be better than an S2, yet it surpasses ours. It has a slower processor and less 3d graphics than the amaze and still it beats it.
Ram operation on the S2 according to Antutu: 705
Ram operation on the Amaze according to Antutu: 356
That's about half!!!!!
And I'm pretty sure if we found a way to increase the ram operation it'd help with all the other results.
I don't know why this is the case, but probably has more to do with the software running on the devices than the components. Sense is a lot of things most of which are good, but one thing for sure is it's s resource hog.

[Q] Safety of RAM Expander kind apps

Hello,
I'm using an app called RAM EXpander to increase swap in order to unlag my phone wich is running many many apps...
IM using an Xperia S and it doesnt have much ram, and this was the only solution to keep everything running and to not make lag in my phone..
So the question is, how safe can be the use of this kind of apps in relation of the flash memory usage (readings/writings)..
AFAIK it'll do some harm in the long term, but what long term means?? 2 years? 1 month and it'll kill my phone flash memory?? 10 years??
I've seen in XDA and all over the web, people that comment on how bad is using flash as a swap because of the writing limitations in flash memory, but still havent seen an actual case of a dead flash memory... LOL
thank you in advance
Anyone?

[Q] Need Ram Solution For my Phone

I have 1 gb ram on my phone and yesterday i flashed new rom...now i have only 270 mb free ram i want more because i have not installed any app since i flash new rom why system consume 511 mb's of ram itself hope you will help me to solve it out
I've got a phone with the same amount of RAM as you (Galaxy Nexus) and 270 MB free is pretty normal for me. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If you're willing to give it a shot though, installing a custom kernel might squeeze you a little extra RAM. I've installed one that disables 1080p recording in exchange for a few dozen MBs of RAM; you might look into seeing if something like that is available for your phone.

Ok Dude But How Can I Find Custom Kernel For My Phone ?
Which phone do you have? You can search for it in the XDA Forums and search through the android development section for your device to find a kernel that works for you.
Why bother with how much free RAM you have?! Its the management of RAM that matters.

Thanks For You Reply
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 Hd lte ( shv-e120l ) and it is not popular around xda-developers.com so how can i find a custom kernel for my phone ??
Here is the link tp your devices' sub forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-hd
Look through the threads and find a kernel that suits your needs.
