[Q] Storage space on Galaxy S?

I am X10 user in search small query regarding the storage space on Galaxy S.
As per reviews and official specs it appears that Galaxy S has 8gb internal memory + Expandable Card slot. Is this True?
If yes does all the 8gb (Excluding System file space) is available for application installation unlike X10 with ~400 MB.
Please guys let me know so that i can recommend Galaxy to others...

2GB available for app install, with 6GB left over as internal memory, plus microsd slot.

Thanks.........2Gb is quite a lot of space for applications

it's actually 1.8 GB
and the 6 GB is not really 6 GB because there are 16 GB models as well

The bell version is 16 gb

+1
my bell is 2gb internal +13.9gb available

some people mentioned that they had ran in to issues on galaxy due to the file structure as sdcard memory is shown as \sdcard\sd rather than \sdcard on all other android phones
is this happened to any of you?

yes and no
\sdcard\sd = External SD card
\sdcard = Internal SD card
you can't get confused by that

16GB version here. Bought from Hong Kong.

[Q] Swap file for TAB: Possible/imbossible?

Hey guys. Is it possible to increase tab's performance by creating swap-file in internal memory? If so, how to make it work?
I use stock 2.2 firmware (rooted)

I was trying exactly the same thing yesterday, but not to speed up my Tab, that with Gingerbread is already very satisfying, but to give more memory space to my Debian chroot.
Unfortunately, the kernel I'm using (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734 ) doesn't seem to have swap enabled, and probably also the stock Gingerbread kernel hasn't it.

There is a App in the Market.
Swapiness is the name. Try this.

Thanks for your answer. Maybe you were refering to Swapper or Swapper2. These application make easier the swap setup by building a swapfile and starting swap on it. But unfortunately they cannot do because swap support on the SGT kernel seems not enabled.
There's no application called "Swappiness" or "Swapiness".

[Q] Awful SD speed's

Hi,
I'm on Totogigi's V1.9 and I've noticed in Antutu that the SD speed's are awful.
Toght it was the ROM so i switched to CM7_162 and same thing happened
Any ideias of why?

Maybe your SD card sucks?

And only sucks in CM_142 and TG1.9?
it didn't suck in the FR19...
If you don't know don't give stupid answers...
The internal has even worst speed values....

It was a valid answer considering you neglected to mention it performed better on other ROMs.
More info would be useful though. What card? What speeds?

internal Write 3.2 M/Read 6.4

I just got 6.7 write and 14.7 read testing the internal card with AnTuTu. That's with CM, not messed with.
Are you using any of the SD booster type apps?

Now with SD Speed increase app got 9.2/16.7
but the old speeds are not normal...
Kernel?

I'm using the CyanogenMod kernel.

Tested now with unmodified 1.9: 8.5/17.3 Problems on your side, dude. Not ROM related in any way...

[Q] Add more RAM to SGS ? Is it possible?

Hi everyone,
I have this phone SGS i9000 but i am constantly running out of memory. Now i got the new Sims game which uses so much ram... Many times the device just starves for ram and reboots itself...
Is it possible to add more HARDWARE ram to this device?
I use Darky roms on my device and checked if i can enable some sort of swap but it is not possible or reasonable...

it's almost impossible without soldering knowledge and a LOT of investigation
just forget a bout it

How would you add this to the PCB? I don't think there is any space left. This is not plug and play, more an embedded device. And how about the other hardware? You also need additional controllers and such things.
--> Impossible.

If you want extra ram you have to buy a new phone

What about swap memory?

hm.. i9000 is realy a low ram device.. i sell my sgs and buy a sgs2 .. a great device
my girlfrend have also 500mb ram device, she use "rammanager root" (search @play-store) it have nice settings and work realy good..
try the demo/trail.. use hardcore game mode for the sims maybe it helps a little bit

Nope, 329MB is user accessable, 128MB is reserved for the graphics card. 55MB is inaccessible because it prevents the device from freezing up when ram is near full.

I will never buy device with less then 2GB of RAM anymore then!

Give the poor device a break, its old already.

Mate I'm running a tsunami ROM in my sgs and it has an 392mb of ROM. And this solved all my ram problems

Tried zRam?

I have an S plus (nearly the same) and i have 358mb of RAM..

Wtf guys this was posted in March, why did you revive this thread?

Hi,
Replying really late , but there is a possible way >> check below -
What advantages of increasing ram on Galaxy S
Running multiple number of application at background.
Games will run smooth without any lagging.
Clear the ram memory to make your device faster.
How to Get More Ram on Galaxy S Cyanogenmod CM10 Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and CM 9 ICS 4.0.4 Custom ROM.
Make sure that your custom rom is loaded with devil kernel or not. For that you can check Go to Settings->About Phone. Scroll down there you can see kernel version of present rom.
Note: So if your custom rom is loaded with different kernel then you need to change it into devil kernel version.
1. Download below zip files based on your Android OS.
For ICS get here.(file name Devil3_1.0.3-ICS_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120724.zip and you can also check latest kernel version and download it)
For JB get here. ( file version 1.0.4)
2. Copy the zip file into phone sd card.
3. Turn off the device and boot into recovery mode. For that you need to press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power button together.
4. When you enter into clockworkmod recovery mode. Select the “install zip from sd card” choose the kernel zip file which you copied earlier in your phone sd card storage.
5. The kernel flashing process will take 1 min. After that reboot the device. That’s it done now your device is fully working with devil kernel.
Note: The Above process is only for who don’t have devil kernel in their Custom Rom. If you’re custom rom is already loaded with devil kernel that you can avoid above process.
Follow below steps:
1. Download devil kernel config app from Google Play here or you can get apk from here.
2. After installing the app on Galaxy S device. Go to app list section there you can see an icon with devil logo and of that app is devil kernel configure.
2. Open the application there you can get Ram Settings Option.
3. Click on it and it will show you three options of ram CM9 368 MB, XL 391 MB and last one big mem 403 Mb. Select Big mem 403 MB to make it done.
4. On the top right side. Click on setup and it will ask you to save the ram settings.
5. When you finalized the settings it indicates to restart the phone in order to make the changes.
6. After rebooting the device. Open the task manager there you will get 403 MB of Ram.
Finally you unlocked more ram on Galaxy S Device running Cyanogenmod 10 Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean ROM.
Rgds,
Kaustav.

You can use swapper from the Google play.
Swapper create a file .swap on your sdcard and this is the RAM :fingers-crossed:

I have samsung galaxy s plus, cyanogenmod 10-20121226-ivendor-alpha6-ariesve, android version 4.1.2, kernel version [email protected] #112...how can i install this devil kernel to increase memory ram to 403? Forgot to mention that i have JellyBean

If you do install that kernel you brick your phone. Check the Samsung galaxy s plus section please

This is not really a viable option...
The flash drive is infinitely slower compared to RAM.
Any game demanding more RAM than can be accessed without writing to/from swap would be unplayable.

Rom: Mackay rom 4.9.14 (4.4.4 kitkat)
Kernel: 3.0.101-KK44-x-aries-cma
Ram: 415MB

Lack of RAM is what made me upgrade from this glorious phone to the S4.
As time went by, Android apps got bigger and heavier, making the Galaxy S unusuable alas.

[Q] Memory Available After Flashing

Hi, I flashed my i9305 with the latest rxtreme v7.2. before it i had wanamlite 1.2.
now i see that my available storage is only 10.94GB is that normal?
i never checked how it was before but i know it suppose to be around 16gb am i wrong?
thanks in advance
Emy

Hi,
I'm on rxtreme 7.1 and use my external SD for anything I can. My phone storage is 10.92gb. I wouldn't worry about it
Hope you enjoy the rom, its a the best I've tried
Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Me too... but not a problem.. i think i9305 has slightly less available memory than i9300.. but normally any phones' available memory will always be less than stated by the company... like my 32gb sandisk memory card.. available memory is aroumd 29gb.. its normal so dont worry about it
Cheers!
