[Q] Need more RAM

Hi,
I'd like to know which ROM is capable of starting up and run with less memory? What I mean to ask is, I want a ROM that starts up with < 150mb of ram and provide me more space for running my downloaded apps.
I've tried MIUI, CM9, etc., all starts up with 300mb utilized! Gives me only 30-50 mb space
I know my device is getting older Waiting for S3
Thanks,
Senthur.

Hi, does the android version makes any diffrence to you?
If it doesn't i will probbably suggest you to use GamerzRom.
the problem is that the base kernel of Gamerz is SemforeBM and you can't youse 720P quality while taking a video.
however, you can always use another kernel, though with BM the performence are awsome.

Try myics
I usually have 150 mob to spare

I think Slim and Infinitum are best for RAM on ICS, GamerzRom best on GB.

For GB gamerz rom, i'm in v9 and when i start the phone it use 150mb of ram (200mb of free ram) for v10 it will be more
on ics (slim) you have kernel with 402MB ram
for my phone i still prefer gb and gamerz rom

Use ICSSGS RC4.2 + Devil2 0.72 XL kernel i got 200-210 mb free ram with this config.

Just use a stock froyo rom (2.2 or 2.2.1) like JS8.
JS8 is probably on of the best roms for our device, fast and stable.
Don't forget, if you flash another rom do a factory reset to remove previous garbage from other roms.

Use Slim Rom, always have 200 mb ram free for apps.

Are you sure? Its fast and support all Apps? How long are you using this ROM? How many Application/Game do you use?
Thanks!

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I dont mind about the Android version. GB is okay with me. But does Gamerz ROM gives more of usable RAM? How long are you using?
Thanks again!

Currently i don't use this rom because i got tired of messing up with roms and decided to keep my phone as stock as possible.
Before this decision i used the phone for months and i was quite happy, the performance is good at any level (Games, OS Smoothness), i don't remember any app that i couldn't use. Also the network and wireless levels were very good.
Also it's the stock rom with highest quadrant score if i'm not mistaken.
But keep in mind, each type of user has it's rom, so it depends from person to person.

Hi, 200MB free RAM? After force close all apps? or by default?
Thanks!

Only ICS kernel with swap is devil 0.73 test version. Swap feature works great for many guys.

if want the ICS try slim sics or Aokp + devil 2.72 xl kernel
I'm om Aokp+ devil i have free ram with some apps running between 190 to 160 free ram
and if wanna Gb try gamerz i think the best GB free ram Rom

Thanks guys..
Thanks to everyone who replied.
I've now installed Slim ICS 3.1 (from WeUI) and happy about the performance, as I get solid 150-200 MB free RAM memory always. I will use this for 2 weeks and then update here about the performance with apps/games installed.
Also, I will install below ROMs suggested by you guys.
Gamerz
ICSSGS + devil
Stock froyo JS8 ( hopefully, I won't like it)
In Slim ICS, have to try (1) Devil kernel, (2) a kernel with swap (devil again - 0.73)
AOKP + devil
Thanks again!

NO! Mini Pro and Mini are different models than x8 and x10mini/x10 mini pro.
Specification is much more powerful: cpu Qualcomm 8255 Snapdragon S2 1GHz ARMv7(different architecture!!!) 512 Mb Ram , gpu Adreno 205, full 4p multitouch, camera 5Mp, AF, secondary camera... .
X8: Qualcomm 7227 600MHz ARMv6(old piece od junk) 256 Mb Ram, gpu Adreno 200, lack of multitouch, camera 3Mp without AF.. so you cant use new Xperia Mini and Pro firmware, if you try you will brick your phone.

RAM problem in JB ..

hi guys ..
why the used ram in jb 320m/404m (about 84m free)
(team remice-jb v3.0.1 ) ??
( in gb about 220/385 ..) (about 165m free)
i have more lags and every thing slowly in jb ..
whats the problem ??

up up

You should try Cm10 by pawitp. it's less ram hungry. and that's kinda normal, since gb needed at least 192 of ram and jb needs 256

So to put it in a nutshell this thread is completely useless? GJ

Instead off using the task manager, go to settings apps and then running. There you will see all the problems...

[Q] Ram Expander app for I9001 and I9000

Hi,
Anyone aware of an application called "Ram Expander".
It virtually increases the Ram size of our devices by virtually creating a space on the SD Card and using it as a Ram, hence increasing the overall speed and performance of the phone.
Please find the link below :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de&feature=search_result
Before installing this app it is advised to install this one first :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo&feature=search_result
This one tells weather your phone and kernel supports this operation.
My question is I have rooted my I9001 and i am using CM9 ICS 4.0.4 and 2.6.35 Kernel by CastagnalT and it says that the kernel is not supporting so does anyone have have any idea which kernel supports this function?
Thanks.

[Q] Does Kowalski Kernel Really Apply 32 MB RAM Hack?

I believe that pengus77's Kowalski Kernel is probably the best thing happened to P990's development.
But I have a query. In its features, it's mentioned that this Kernel applies 32 MB RAM hack, but I've observed that available RAM to the system stays at 374 MB which is same as it was an Stock ROM.
So what am I missing here?

there are 2 versions of the latest kowalski kernel (M1 stable/126 experimental) - ramhack one and the one with "norh" in the filename (or no-ram-hack)...
pick the right one

Yeah, I know. I have installed the one with the RAM hack (the one without "norh" suffix). And not only that I've tried almost every Kernel version experimental or stable released till date.
Thing I am saying is that, isn't the available memory mentioned under settings supposed to increase by 32 MB from 374 MB that's already available by default in Stock or Custom ROM (without RAM hack)?

Stock ROM had 342 MB ram and rest was reserved for graphics. So 32 MB ramhack has been applied here.
Flash NoRH and you'll see only 342 MB ram

Isn't 128 MB reserved for GPU by default? 342 MB + 128 MB doesn't add up to make total 512 MB. 374 MB + 128 MB somewhat does go in the vicinity of 512.

Reserved video memory is 170 MB.
342+170=512
Out of that 170 MB video ram, 32 MB is carved out and used as system ram.
So you see 342+32 = 374 MB

Check out the specs column of the wikipedia page for LG Optimus 2X. Out of 512 MB, 128 MB, not 170 MB, is dedicated to GPU by default.
Again maths doesn't add up.
My best guess is there could be some memory dedicated to baseband etc but it would be great if someone knowledgeable in this matter could clear the confusion.

Hi all,
Do have any hints how to compile pengus77 kernel from source? I can compile it using Linario toolchain and build zImage, but it always stucks on LG logo upon boot.
Thanks!
