Samsung Galaxy S ram question - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung claims 512mb ram memory and 329mb user accessible memory. But infact its 86mb user accessible. I thought before buying that i'll get all 329mb for browser and video or anything else. Where is 183mb memory? (512-329= 512MB)... I thought android system will b installed on that.

You mean this remaining ram is for GPU use only?

Could be possible, GPU has 32MB...

Increase Available RAM In Galaxy S??

I am using CM7 on my i9000. As there is only 330Mb of Ram available I want to know if there is any possibility to remove(or modify) the Ram allocations to camera(720p recording),Video calling etc to increase the available ram??
What file should I modify in kernel to change these memory allocations??

I want to go beyond 340Mb.. I dont use camera and 3g video calling.
So I want to remove or reduce the memory allocations for those..
What file in the kernel should be modified to effect these changes??
You should ask a dev directly for this kind of questions.
I think a PM is the best way to do that

I have The froyo mod ..it's 2.2 but i've changed from golauncher to ADWlauncher...and it's very fast i've came up to 102 mb free (max i've succeded)
Thats big! Is that with JIT off?
me2 112 mb free with adw,no messenger,no facebook and no youtube app.
it was on.now i'll give it a try with jit off.will post some feedback
Boot to recovery. There you'll have most of the RAM free.
Any rom as long as you dont boot your phone should do...

lol big time!!
I'm using CM7 (2.3.7) and it only offers 44MB after boot ...
Currently what is the best rom for the milestone 1, with good performance and at least a 80MB ram free?
And what makes you think that you need 80MB of free ram?
It's a big missconception to think that free ram is the way to go.

With 44MB current when using opera mobile app sometimes closes due to lack of memory
Use the latest CM7 build and create a swap file/partition on your SD card - that will resolve all your memory-issues.
Instructions are in the corresponding threads.

if u root and install Titanium Backup and remove some bloatware that u dont want to use and limit the number of startup apps using Autostarts or Rom toolbox pro.. it will definitely free ram,
but android has a good ram handling policy.. it will free automatically as and when required.

Tips

How you mange (apps,delete system apps,scripts and more) your milestone to get more free RAM and performance?
Thanks

Create an ext2/3-partition as described here: http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
For more RAM, create a swap partition, as described here: http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
Please keep in mind that swap will not make your device faster, it will only keep background processes alive for longer. Sdcard read/write speed is way slower than real RAM.

I get 70mb free ram with cm7.2.4d(gapps not installed). Real smooth. I use lightning launcher,very simple, uses less ram. Phone is damn smooth.
Not using JIT frees some more ram.
How I know if I have swap partition that work fine?
Sent from my Milestone using xda app-developers app
Open the Terminal Emulator and type free
If you see numbers in the 'swap' row your swap is working fine, if there are only zeros then something is wrong.
thnks. i have swap and ext2 partition. ext3 can help ?
I recommend you to upgrade to EXT4 (it can be done easily from FuFu's MiniMod).
Ext3 is a journaling file system, which means the possibilities of a data-loss is really low, and Ext4 does everything the Ext3 does, just better.

I think it is the prob of our "old" device with only 512MB RAM...
Do you use "heavy" apps like facebook, skype and so on ...more functions need more RAM for the apps ...
I`m using CM 10.2 with Semaphore and BigMEM-Libs so that i have 409MB RAM available ...

No,i dont have any heavy app,yes my device got 512 mb ram from which 366 mb is available.Before i flashed everything was working very fine even the app like facebook worked very smooth but now i can hardly open my device settings also.
But actually my problem is not this my problem is if my phone is using 124 mb ram there should have been 125 mb or more ram free but its showing only 25-30 mb free!!!

I had the same problem with the RAM, lot of apps began to force close and the system was SLOW! really slow! I tried installing Greenify that can hibernate apps to free up more RAM but sometimes it doesn't work so I had to restart my device.
Now I'm very happy because I've found a solution that works excellent! You have to insert an sd card and create a swap partition. I use the Devil Kernel because it supports a swap partition. To activate my partition I used the Devil Kernel Manager and and set a swappiness value of 60.
To verify if your swap memory is working you have to type "free" in a terminal console. In past I've tried to use the app Swapper to create a Swap file but it never worked like the real partition.
I think that a swap partition is a need for our i9000 devices if you plan to use many apps.
