Nope, I have 256 mb swap and it's acceptable btw. its still android 4, so theoretically system requirements shouldn't change that much... and yeah, wait about 5 years, we might have phones with 10 ghz CPU and 128gb of ram

It's still Jelly Bean, with some new features included (wow Multi-User).
Also, we're running JB from ICS libs which is from GB/Froyo libs in fact
Anyway, whom of us expected that we could run Jelly Bean in our very low-end devices
maybe we can expect more than that, for example Key Lime Pie, but I think it would be too lag ....

[Q] Galaxy S RAM ? Not 512mb?

Hello, both quadrant and setcpu show me 334Mb total RAM and 85mb free... quadrant also shows me 143Mb inactive RAM

Hopefully you are right, any source where i can see the official statement about this issue?
From another thread:
Sigh. No. No ROM ever will. This is because the radio firmware reserves a lump of RAM all to itself so that you can... you know... make and receive calls.
Can you imagine how annoyed you would be if you missed calls or SMSes just because you'd used up all the available memory?

As said in more threads sgs has 512 mb but you loose ram for kernel, shared memory and phone memory. At the end you have about 300 MB of available memory on stock kernel. So samsung doesn't lies.

N1 only saw ~200MB of RAM because a bug in Linux kernel. With the bug corrected you see 512MB of TOTAL RAM.
And yes, N1 owners complained about this. The difference is that there was a lot less fanboys defending Google or HTC about this matter.
Even the Tab has 444MB

or

at the 37th second you'll see 444MB total while they advertize with "Internal 16/32 GB storage, 512 MB RAM"
and such a tab is even more expensive then a sgs.. =/

I'm 99% sure that's wrong. It wasn't a bug, it just didn't support larger amounts which was because of the way ARM was designed apparently. Linux was designed that way, and needed to be updated.
This is a totally different situation, and not sure why billboa is claiming that samsung now markets the SGS as 384mb of ram either. I have seen NO evidence of that, and if that's true, please show proof the SGS is being marketed as 384mb.
I agree that we do need more spare RAM to be available (especially in the froyo leaks, which may be betas anyway) and the currently-reserved RAM to be allocated dynamically when needed, so there is more ram available at other times. RAM allocation is cheap afterall.

Well, maybe it's not a N1 you are holding? What about a screenshot?
I can show you a picture of two devices side by side: N1 (FRG83) showing 390MB and i9000 (FROYO.JHJP8) with only 304MB.
I have a Galaxy S model GT-I9000B ( brazilian version from VIVO carrier )
I flashed froyo BVJJPD and my ram manager says I have only 304 MB RAM.
weird.
Sigh
The galaxy s actual does have 512mb of RAM inside it. Out of that 512mb, 128mb is used by the gpu or something involving the hardware(I don't really know where so not going to pretend I do). Then out of the remaining 384mb some is used by the system. I say some cos different kernels use a different amount.
Like on damiangtos 2.2 kernel there was 360mb of ram free at one point.

ICS on 512MB a problem?

You can almost guarantee that a 1GB model will be better. The Optimus 2X does struggle with it's 512 mb, because 128mb is attributed to the GPU. Lukily, some kernels, like IronKrnl free some of that memory up and give it back to the CPU, but it's still losing 80mb.
Also, it's worth noting that, if you want to run ICS, if you look at the phones out that have 1gb of ram, you'll see they're all actually better phones- especially what Samsung make.
So, while the O2X is a cheap dual-core device. The best experience will come with something with 1gb of RAM, as it's much more likely to also get ICS. (Due in part because most 1gb phones have already had an announcement, and for it to be soon)
ICS is very hungry in memory. On my Asus Tablet running official, my 1GB RAM is fully used, as usual in Linux but at a higher level than in GB.
To run ICS correctly on O2X, you must use IronKrnl, the 48mb ramhack version is correct (means it steals 48MB to GPU, leaving only 80MB to it), and modifying memory killer values to a sort of aggressive profile.
Yea right, so this is why I had less free memory on GB. And now I have CM kernel on ICS. I doubt you actually tried CM9 alpha on O2X if you are talking crap like this about performance.

The browser in ICS works better even though we have 512MB. It always returned to where I had left. 512 and less is enough for full desktop environments on PC even.

See my sig and stop arguing. I run CM9 since first day Ricardo published SK0, and now running SK2 with latest Ironkrnl. Setiron himself admitted on Google+that ICS is a memory eater.
Dont know how much free memory we're talking about here but I'm on SK2 with original CM9 kernel. Using Adv.Task Killer from time to time and I always have around 200-240 Mb free memory. Just sharing my experience
Running CM9 aswell and its sooooo smooth, faster than any rom ive tried
OK, so what happens when you want to run Tegra games? (like Dungeon Defenders for example). A shame you cannot dynamically set the ram hack :-(

That's the real question... Free memory when phone is idle means nothing. Plus you have to consider the lowmemkiller values you have set, I personnally use aggressive values: 16 24 32 90 100 110 to free the most possible memory.
Many users report freezes with games that run perfectly on GB. The problem or ramhack is choosing the right value for gaming, it seems 48mb version is the best compromise. A 'on the fly' feature was not planned for the moment by Setiron in one of his G+ posts.

It does. In low memory situations ICS seems to keep running better and smoother compared to GB. If you get under 40mb free on GB everythings gets very slow, with ICS it seems to handle it a bit more elegantly from a user experience.
Please don't think I'm pesimistic here, I'm just going off the comments: Given that OEM releases tend to be bloated and memory wasteful, it's not looking great for an LG ICS release that is 'fully' working. If they pull it off and allow tegra games to run, then I'll be impressed
the official release from LG should be more efficient, and once you remove bloatwares, it should be quite a charm
Hi,
The Google Nexus S also has only 512Mb, and a certain amount of those allocated to GPU (though I don't remember how many), and ICS works like a charm on it... So I think it shouldn't be a problem on our O2X! :-D

It has the same config (128 for the GPU, 384 of available RAM) and works really fine.
Obviously a full gigabyte would be awesome.

Im typing using my optimus one running icss.
NOTE: my phone can only be over clocked till 729mhz.
So for our 2x it will be no prob.

[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich Should be available for SGA

Please don't consider it as a "another ICS blah blah... thread"
Just check this product from HTC:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_c-4759.php
Processor: 600
Resolution: 320 x 480 pixels
So Our SGA is way better than this phone by HTC. The most interesting feature for this phone is "OS Android OS, v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)"
On Xda, some days before I read a thread where expert developer confidently said that "Ice Cream Sandwich requires more processing frequency than that of SGA which is 800 and even it can not run on overclocking. So guys just forget about ICS on SGA."
So now what you guys wanna say?? If this HTC handset can RUN official ICS on 600 then why not our SGA??
Your clarification will help all of us!!
Regards,
Adwait
This has been said and discussed a lot of times here TBH.
regardless of whatever someone says our ACE is capable of running ICS but samsung SIMPLY REFUSE to support their older devices and so the fact of the matter is we will NOT GET OFFICIAL ICS. CM9 and AOKP is our best bet.
but can't we use the ICS of this HTC handset to port for our SGA?? CM9 is really a good option but it's modification! I mean to say stock 4.0 for SGA
That device uses cortex A8(armv7) processor,+512 mb ram.And ace has 278 user available ram+armv6 processor.Stock ICS needs 384 mb user available ram to correctly use/render API level 14 of 4.0.CM9 by galaxyics uses binary patches and kernel hacks if you see their sources.Therefore the performance boost ICS gives,is not visible because API level 14 neccessities are not met.Moreover i consider CM9 for ace just eyecandy(thats personal opinion).And I am pretty satisfied by gingerbread.Android 4 for ace would have made sense if it had 500+mb ram and 1ghz+ armv7 processor.What use is an OS if it reduces performance of your device

IS IT REALLY 2 gb ram ??

im facing a huge problem now .. when im playing dead trigger 2 and if i go home and make a call and went back to game it restarts it self !! so why this for ??
Is not about how many GB of ram do you have but about how many application still open in background.
How do you go back to the game? I mean after finish the call you click on the Dead Trigger 2 icon on desktop?
no from recent menu !!
Ok, so when you made a call the phone needs more ram and practically Android kill all the unnecessary apps in background and one of them is the game which eat pretty much ram. It's happen to me too with heavy games. Almost all of them.
I have the same problem... thats something I can't just ignore. Android should be the multitasking king compared to systems like iOS and WindowsPhone because of things like the priority of processes...

Of curse but actually games are not priority to android and that how it's working. With small games this not happen because they use less ram. For android the ram is the only matter.

I know. Every process has the same priority.
When I first read about the Android RAM management, I thought: "Wow, great idea", but know I see the result compared to other system using the "old one" and I am just jealous.. :/ 2 GB should be more than enough to keep it while switching the app for ~ 30 seconds, I hope 4.4 does it better

iOS is NOT Android.
theoretical number of ram is 2 but the actual size is around 1.9gb more or less depending on the device, even in PC's its the same!
for example, a 320GB hdd is only 298gb in actual size as the other reserved for cache and HDD firmware!
u don't find the full exact numbers as i explained to you

This is only partially true.
HDD Manufacturers like to measure HDD sizes using the decimal system which means 1GB = 10^9 (= 1000000000) Bytes. In other technical appliances they are measured using the binary system meaning 1GB (more correctly 1Gibibyte) = 2^30 (= 1073741824) Bytes. File systems are measured using the binary systems, this is why one could think an HDD has less storage than what is written on.
Ram uses the binary system, so 2 GB of Ram mean 2048 MB. The reason why there is less then 2 GB available is because part of it is being reserved for the GPU, much like on Computers with integrated graphics.

yeah i know, i totally agree
he thought he'd find the full amount of ram as 2gb in the specs!
Anyway I would also like a refined app priority system. I do like Androids Ram Management in general, but it is quite annoying that large games need to reload just because you switch apps for some seconds.

Ram uses the binary system, so 2 GB of Ram mean 2024 MB. The reason why there is less then 2 GB available is because part of it is being reserved for the GPU, much like on Computers with integrated graphics.

I think you mean 2048 MB The rest is spot on - reserved RAM has *nothing* to do with the binary vs. decimal issues found in hard drives.

The solution for don't lose the progress on games is to turn on the Airplane mode before gaming so no body can interrupt the progress...ahahah...
Anyway seems like a joke but did you imagine that, after 1 hour somebody call you and you loose everything in the game...:crying:

Where's the lag?

I've looked at every YouTube video and I can't find any lag on the S5. I remember last year at this time and the S4 was lagging and stuttering all over the place. Is S-Lag really gone?
You will see lags coming with a bang!

kitkat changed most of that. and especially with the snapdragon. my note 3 is on JB, but it's really smooth with the snapdragon lol
If the new note pro or tab pro is anything to go by, there will be lag lol

Granted it's not the S4, but even when it was stock my S3 never had any lag...
I actually saw a video with some Sutter, I think it was on Android central but I'm not sure

I did see lag still.
You can clearly see the animations aren't as fast as say the Nexus 5 or Z2.
What a disappointment...
I saw lag in one of the hands on videos showing the new lock screen. It's going to be there unless they fully re-optimize their software. Why they didn't with the 5th generation galaxy phone, I will never understand.
With an 8+GB ROM and only 2GB of user RAM, it will lag or stutter just as much as the GS4.

It'll chew away at your ram since the ROM is causing the phone to bog down my GN3 on stock rom 2.2 GB out of my 3 GB of ram is eaten up with just the phone being on and all the processes stopped so get ready for it because the Stock roms chew up your ram and spit it out Bigger ROM more processes that the RAM needs to have account for which means less ram for the user
there u go :silly:

i bet it will stutter even worse with more bloat and the same ram
edit : does the contacts and Dialer apps still take 2 - 5 second to open ? :/

So? you still have 2.2 GB free RAM? right?? And don't forget out of that used RAM, GPU will take a big chunk. It's not just the bloat, but other things as well. Google's services are that light either.
When was the last time you had full 3GB of RAM consumed (or 2GB in other phones)?

No it uses about 2.2 GB I only have about .8 GB of ram and honestly I hit the wall quite often I'm a heavy user I have a bunch of background processes running with auto updates so it takes up quite a chunk I will be flashing a new ROM clean rom most likely to solve the issue
