Have encountered an excessive ram
problem even after clearing ram using task
manager, i am using autostarts aswell to
reduce but no,luck, i am at a loss, wether it
could be the galaxy running 2.3.4 i don't
know, any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have excessive ram or the other way around (less free ram than you're expecting) ?
And more than that .. don't you think you should share some real values with us?
For example, (I'm running GB JVP 2.3.4) when I'm bootong I'm getting about 130MB of free ram and in the normal usage the free ram reported by the system is ~80-100MB.
Currently in task manager sits around 250 280 lb of ram even after killing off apps. Im at a loss, thinking of just flashing darkys

you are fine .. this is the gingerbread behavior from what I know.
Ram is running all the time.Linux maked use of holding things in ram incase the application is used again. Anything in ram doesn't make the system slower, unless you are into precise control and into milliseconds of time-saving.

Thought it might have been gingerbread, I might flash back to a 2.2 early Rom

As I said before: Ram is there and powered up. Anything in ram does not use power because it it is used already by the ram.

Alright but I've noticed that the more ram that's in use the slower my phone is.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've just fashed lite'nin 3.0 and I have no problems. 538 megs of ram is being used and the phone is not slow. I have noticed that some apps can cause a slow or stuttering phone. I have tried a lot of custom roms, Insanity, miui, stock on my sg1, cognition, darky's, stock and litenin on sgs2.
I'm keeping with litenin as I find it to be very stable, good battery and I have found no bugs.
Perhaps you could find out if an app is causing slowness? I have 271 apps and all run ok. Palmary weather caused problems so it's gone. Are you using any cpu frequency apps?

I dont know i if this is a problem but i got only around 150mb avalible ram all the time.. Is that normal or shouldnt i have about 338mb ram with the speedmod kernal? Tanks in advance.

Not a problem...
Unused ram is wasted ram.
Are you talking about total available RAM (including used and free RAM), or just RAM that isn't occupied by running processes (free RAM)?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
First of all let us know what ROM do you use.
Is it Simply Honey? If so, go to ext4 application and run 'Convert to ext4'.
Have you had a look inside the phones case sometimes the ram hides itself under the battery .

What is the Compcache RAM Usage that you find best on your Magic 32b? I am trying to figure out what is best for me.
I am currently using the default 8mb. I do know anything over 20mb causes problems for the browser. I'm still looking for what works the best.

Some one had recommended 16mb and is working really good.

From one side you are right, from the other side there are no alternatives if you want to run actual ROMs on the G1 with a decent set of background services. The alternative, i.e. running without compcache implies continuusly killing and restarting of apps by Android, which for sure will give you a worse user experience.

I prefer running very low swap (e.g. 10 swap) instead of compcache and that helps a lot..

Hi
My SGN 7000 task Manager shows 799MB of Ram of which abt 650MB is always in use.
I use One touch optimizer but wout any significant reduction in used RAM.
If I kill process in Task Manager, it shows 13 -15 process killed & Used Ram improves to 600MB.
Note runs very slowly due to this.
Sometimes Task Mgr shows only abt 450MB of RAM in use & then SGN is quite fast.
1. How can I increase RAM allocation? Is that a good idea?
2. If not then how do I stop process running in SGN. It is rooted & am using FrankoKernel 2.6.35.7 #8 , BB LB1, Build GB.DDLB2.
Thanks
If. U have franco kernal u don't have to increase it because when u install the kernal tha ram will increase to the highest

Asfaik, the note although states 1GB ram, 200 or so Mb is utilised purely for system.
800 is the correct use for apps, and Android will use as much of it at all times based on what apps you regularly use to keep them cached for quicker access.
There are ram tweakers on the app store. Personally I use the one provided with Norton utilities, part of Norton AV, which works very well.
Hope it helps.

Flash MIUI rom. You'll have 1gb of ram

Hi,
I have a P1000 with CM10 (Humberos and Alroger) and I'm very pleased with this ROM.
It's such a difference if compared with GB that it really looks like having a new device.
There is one problem though that I'm not sure can be fixed: the random reboots.
I've dig a bit and apparently reboots are related to the lack of memory.
Analysing the available memory indeed I noticed that it easily goes around 50-70Mb which doesn't seem to be that much and probably this is the root cause of the random reboots.
I've enabled zRAM with a compression rate of 35% but this doesn't seem to have solved the issue.
So I'm wondering why nobody else is actually talking about this issue. Is the majority of P1000+CM10 users not having this issue?
Or it's just that we can't do anything about it and therefore we have to live with this?
In no way this post wants to be a complain. I'm just asking some more information to understand this issue better.
Cheers

Free memory is wasted memory.
This is not Windows which actively swap memory to swap.
if memory really is running low, the memory manager will kill inactive apps, not panic and reboot.

Hi Pryiana,
I'm not sure I got what you mean.
I'm not rebooting the system, it just does it automatically, that's the problem.
What I'm trying to understand here is why it reboots automatically.
Based on Alroger a solution to self reboots is to enable zRAM which is a kernel feature to compress data being written to memory to reduce the footprint.
Are you currently on a CM10 ROM?

I am on aokp jb using humberos kernel (forgot which date)
My point is :
the system reboots you are seeing, it is not because the ROM isn't providing enough free ram. It is something else. Maybe even because the memory manager isn't doing the right thing.
Maybe true that your attempt to free up more ram improves it, but it may just help to avoid hitting the real bug.
Anyway, I am not a dev.
Just a system guy.
I just want to say free ram is wasted ram.
In Linux systems, the kernel grabs as much ram as it can. Not free them.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
OK, I see what you mean.
BTW, I can see from the cm10 thread that other people are having the same issue with the device restarting after a while.
Apparently 512MB are just not enough for Jelly Bean.

I am using AOKP JB for SGT7 by stimpz0r and no reboots for me.

Hello everyone! Having a 2GB RAM in nexus 4, I am curious how much max RAM have you people used. After running my daily apps like Facebook,8 tracks, flipboard, what's app, viber,xda, drop box, chrome, I have used a Max of 1.2GB RAM. Post your max RAM usage.

Lol. Yup. That extra ram Will be much helpful for the future updates. My friend's one x's 1 gig of RAM is now not sufficient for him.
Imho, nexus 4's power has not been used to the full yet. Optimization needs to be done, both in hardware and software. I believe we have a hardware that will go into full swing next year
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Most likely key lime pie will have more optimizations hopefully and it should debut this year.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
That is true. Take for example the galaxy nexus was released two years ago and its going strong
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I dunno why 1gig of RAM wouldn't be sufficient but i don't mind having the extra. And KLP rumors say that the new Linux Kernel will actually be substantially more RAM efficient.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
i usually have between 1375-1500mb free ram at any point of my usage(about 1650mb after killing my apps). i also use autostarts to prevent apps from starting up in the background, and i use greenify to tame wild apps.
I've seen about 1.2-1.4gb of my RAM being used. But there was someone who kept complaining that the nexus 4 would close apps even if plenty of space was remaining. i think that person even started a thread & posted videos to prove it .

anyone can fake that video. can even make it kill the background apps sooner when very little ram is used. all you have to do is change the memory management variables by raising them. plus, there are roms out there that do that too.
Yes. I feel like that nexus 4 kills certain apps or refreshes despite having enough RAM.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Using Elixer 2 widgets, I seen to hover between 1.2gb to 800mb free ram. I don't really close anything, pretty much just let it run on its own. Stock not rooted or anything. I have probably 50 give or take a few apps installed.

Ram use age is not only dependent upon the applications running... If you use roms like xylon or liquid etc there are options to show how much ram is used by applications, cache and one other thing which i can't remember right now.. So basically my ram use age in real life had always been nearly to 1.6 1.7 GB!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
is jelly bean optimized for 2gb?, Ive had apps close not crash and I wonder why if it needed the ram, would changing the vm heapsize help?
I checked and I usually have 700mb remaining.
My Galaxy Nexus ran perfectly with 1gb ram so its probably more like JB uses ram pretty efficiently. More helps tho.

That much RAM? you are on a custom Rom? Could you list your apps?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Maximum RAM used on my N4 was about 800-900 MB. Stock everything, with some services running like Facebook,Whatsapp,8tracks,Lightflow and a live wallpaper ..
As for the people wondering why some apps appear to "close" on their own despite having enough RAM. Its the app's fault, the code is not written well and does not advantage of Android's multitasking capabilities.

Mine has free 900+ mb

I don't use that many apps..and yea iam on a custom rom...but i guess u didnt get what i am saying...most of the time what ubsee ass ur free rom isn't actually free... It's being used by cache and other things...what most roms show u is only how much ram applications use..as u can see from my screen shot... The phones ram is never entirely free !
