[Q] Need more RAM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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!

Most common problem and its solution

Hey im using this phone for 1 month and im impressed by the performance. I downloaded few heavy games and apps like shadowgun and galaxy and few compilers and photo editing softwares. After installing them they were running smoothly. But after sometimes the app starts lagging. When i check the ram used i came to know that even i close the apps the app process is still taking some resources from ram i know its necessary for multitasking but the apps which you dont want to use further should be able to remove from memory. I tried with advanced task killler but after sometime that apps come back in the ram please tell a solution for and i think many users must have ezperiencing this. It is using up the memory unnecessarily.

use cm7.2 kang and use antoher kernel like vadonka, iron kernel.
vadonka provides 32mb ram hack and non 32 mb ram hack.
ironkernel provides 32mb, 64mb, and 96mb hack and non ram hack.
or you can install miui which is faster enough too.
or stock rom but already tweaked with another kernel such as horse power kernel which is nice and so on
just look the development section. LG rom is suck!!
If you have ram issues then you could also try to freezer these apps with titanium backup for example. Also, you could flash a custom kernel with ram hack of course...

Hello!
The behaviour you describe in you starting post is quit "normal" for the LG stock rom - it is a known bug - stock rom has memory leaks and you need to reboot the phone from time to time get all ram back.
The camera app from CM7 is ok in the latest KANGS.
CM7 has a better ram management and using a cutom kernel can speed up things even more (considerably).
But you could also install a custom rom based on a stock rom rebuild like i.e. Guestes or Manouches roms - they should work better than standard stock and are based on newer(leaked) sources...
ICS will come, but CM9 needs still some time and the ICS build from LG won't be here before next winter...
Err... im confused my friend. Cynomod is a custom rom rite? and what is a kernel ? can you change kernel in your stock rom? please tell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Yes cyanogen is a custom rom.
The kernel is a script that allows software to access the hardware. It's easy to change and there are many threads in dev forum about custom kernels. However I think you have to read some guides before

Best Kernel For Me? OC + Battery

So I am looking for a better kernel. Currently I am running simplicity rom 2.1.1 with a semaphore kernel. Sorry for not being specific. I don't know what it is:
Kernel Version: [email protected]
Anyway, I really do enjoy my great battery life. But I was wondering if it could be even better !
I also am very big on my OC speed. as I need my phone to be fast and snappy.
I am currently overclocked at min 1300 and max 1300 on performance.
If anyone could reccomend me a kernel or OC frequencys?
I mainly use my phone for texts. I hardly ever use calls, also use viber messages + whatsapp messages. Occasional web browsing (looking something up)
Thats about it, Sometimes i listen to music but i don't play games on it.
Thankyou !

does the more ram mean the more faster?
Personally I prefer the Semaphore Kernel.
(btw : Devil 2_0.62 is a ICS kernel)

It's mainly up to you and your opinion what is better or not. I almost was fixing to say CM9, but read closely that you said GB roms. I'm not running GB anymore so I don't really know much about all the new versions of the GB ROMs out now. It is safe on GB so just try out different ROMs until you find one you like.
The franco kernel for GB is not supported anymore because he is on ICS now so that stinks that you lost at least one GB kernel that I used to use and can say is very good on GB. Speedmod kernel is pretty good though.
Well, best is relative to experience. I was on LC1 with speedmod k2-12 and it served my purpose.
Sent from my GT-P1010 using XDA
Well, i dont think there have a ROM that can name it as the best
Becoz all ROM are create for difference favour people
Example for me,i looking for a ROM with better battery life
And if for GB i prefer get Rocket ROM
So far , i use is ok for me ,only have a small bug with the kernal
Sometime will get SoD (Sleep of Time) but not long ,just around 20sec?
Other then that ,it is nice for me, especially battery life,it is quite a big improve
So if you asking my suggestion , i would prefer for Rocket rom
thankd for the info guys. rocket rom looks good. they type of rom/kernal id like is a light rom /w touchwiz no bloatware,fast,tweaked,good battery etc etc and kernal overclocked and fast also.
stock ROM maybe
For confused sorts and for those who want full functionality,I would recommend the stock ROM. If your much into tech info and can handle the tweaks then go for a custom ROM of your flavour.
I'm using KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v1.6 / franko.kernel for ICS r3, very smooth and stable with one *very annoying* bug, I can't change the lock screen's wallpaper.
I was running lp4 base-band, with Franco kernel on Checkrom...Quite decent, I would say.

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

DSLR ROM is the first rom with 411mb ram (with brian kernel), and is based stock rom, and is running fast.
But, all roms with brian kernel (411 mb ram), have camera bugs ! (camrecorder not working)
And...about cm7, because is using an modded brian kernel, of course camera will not work too !!! (dedicated to dev of cm7)

Well, I created my custom rom, based stock to get maximum performance from squadzone's kernel. Btw rom is not released, is personal.:silly:
You can create your own...if you want. :angel:
For me, I just use DXLD1 stock rom and then I use Squadzone kernel .. Use any tweak that You like . I really like squadzone kernel !! I've been using 1126 Mhz as my Max Oc since last week .. no reboot :victory:

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that .. The Kernel are having wifi issue with the LK2E stockrom Series and any latest stockrom because It is using the latest wifi driver and cannot be loaded by the kernel .. the only stock that I have tried is DXLD1 and It works perfectly .. to make it work in any stock rom,you can get the wifi driver from DXLD1 .. Its in system/wifi if im not mistaken .. the ar6000.ko . take it and replace it in any stock you want to use ..
