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!

( in gb about 220/385 ..) (about 165m free)

whats the problem ??

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

i will back to my favourite rom Gamerz v11 :laugh:
So to put it in a nutshell this thread is completely useless? GJ
Useless thread.
Instead off using the task manager, go to settings apps and then running. There you will see all the problems...

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.
Its first time i installed custom ROM CyanogenMod 10 with jellybean 4.1.1 in my galaxy s i9000 but i find out that internal memory is only 422MB while original stock ROM come with ample 1.5 gb internal memory. Why is that ? People get custom ROMs for improving their software. I also want to know that when you install custom ROMs your galaxy s i9000 still able to play video formats like divx/vidx ?
Thank you guys

If you are having a galaxy S I9000, then in stock rom your internal storage would be 1.8 GB and with CM10 and above it will be 1.46 GB. This is to ensure that adequate amount of space is available for system apps as size of a JB rom including google apps is much larger than a Gingerbread rom.
You can play all kind of video formats no matter what rom you are on.. try mxplayer.. I personally use that and it hasn't disappointed me yet.

Thanks for reply dude
Whatever you said make sense but my internal memory in CM10 is only 422 mb not 1.4 gb..its jelly bean 4.1.1
So i would have to install additional video player to play these video formats..i would not need to do this in stock ROM because it was built in there

If i remember right, old 4.1.1 Roms implemented this small partition layout (422 mb) for a short time but quickly revised to the big partition layout (1gb+).
I suggest you flash to the latest build 4.2.1 Roms.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 C-RoM Mix v7
Kernel: Mackay 0.244

Hi! I want the same thing on my note but i can't find any kernel...none helps us! Anyway,did u manage to dualboot your rom official jb from Samsung with other rom?
Guys do nothing!! I would suggest you to use Hydracore Nirvana Kernel, it may have the support for Ram Expander!!!
How about using Custom Kernels? Like Hydracore or COH? It's a good kernel :good:
Hi guys,
Any news on this? I also have 4.1.2 and would like to use Ram Expander. Which Rom/Kernel works with it?
Thanks
Swap support requires tweaking in the kernel irrespective of what rom you are using..
COH kernel has swap support and i have personally used it along with ram expander.

Hi,
Thank you for your input.
1) Have you noticed any improvement by using ram expander on the note?
2) How can we be sure that ram expander really increases the ram by using the swap file? How do we test this?
3) Is it possible to install only your kernel with keeping my existing Rom? Just flashing that Kernel is possible?
Thanks for claryfing

#free in terminal emulator or open adb shell
this command will tell you if swap is active.. if the swap value is 0 then its not active.
Thank you for that.
What about Question 1 and 3 ?
3. It depends on the rom you are using. COH kernel is for touchwiz jb roms. If you are running same then you can change the kernel and try.
1. I have never felt the phone so slow to use ram expander. Although I hardly was on touchwiz.
