Hi guys,
This might be a silly question. But ive got the asylum rom installed and just notice on the about phone area that my ram is only 780mb. Is this right?
I thought the note had 1gb ram?
Could anyone share what it says on their about phone area?
Thanks in advanced.

different kernels show different available ram.. like stock show 863.. and hydracore show different.. so its ok.. 1GB ram is not really available..
The RAM that you are missing has gone to the hardware.
yeah i too wanted to know about the exact ram of my note as i have used my note for almost 1 year.. as i remember in past i have a pc with 1 gb ram and it shows 0.99 gb ram in my computer properties but here with my phone having 1 gb ram never showed above 900 mb ram

Ok this might sound real noobish. but i have Advanced Task Killer and i make it close every app. It shows that is have only about a 130 M of memory available. i know that the captivate has 512 Mb of Ram, so my question is... is this normal? is the rest of the ram used for the OS, my friends N1 shows 510 when i use his advanced task killer, so just a question hope someone can answer
sorry guys i just moved to general
2.1 only can use like 300 of the 512

I don't think this is true. 2.2 builds show even less RAM.
There are several theories related to the lack of free ram. I don't think anything has really been confirmed in stone though.

also right here though on the android page it says that 2.2 upgrade which includes the 2.6.32 kernel supports more ram
Hi
My SGN 7000 task Manager shows 799MB of Ram of which abt 650MB is always in use.
I use One touch optimizer but wout any significant reduction in used RAM.
If I kill process in Task Manager, it shows 13 -15 process killed & Used Ram improves to 600MB.
Note runs very slowly due to this.
Sometimes Task Mgr shows only abt 450MB of RAM in use & then SGN is quite fast.
1. How can I increase RAM allocation? Is that a good idea?
2. If not then how do I stop process running in SGN. It is rooted & am using FrankoKernel 2.6.35.7 #8 , BB LB1, Build GB.DDLB2.
Thanks
If. U have franco kernal u don't have to increase it because when u install the kernal tha ram will increase to the highest

Open the dialer and type *#9900# and see for your self

Asfaik, the note although states 1GB ram, 200 or so Mb is utilised purely for system.
800 is the correct use for apps, and Android will use as much of it at all times based on what apps you regularly use to keep them cached for quicker access.
There are ram tweakers on the app store. Personally I use the one provided with Norton utilities, part of Norton AV, which works very well.
Hope it helps.

Flash MIUI rom. You'll have 1gb of ram

My nexus 7 (stock rom)starts to lag when it has like less than 100mb free. Lag goes away when I close out programs manually. This is the same case on my galaxy nexus (cm10.1). But my nexus 4 is great and worlds another might I add. But back to the 7, does any one else agree or have similar problems?

I'm affraid you think right. Apps need memory to run, when this RAM is low or there is not enough available to start a new task the system lags, especially it's UI. Then it attemps to force kill one, more or ALL of your previous used apps depending of your memory usage level.
We can nothing to do with that, just can adjust our number of "same time running" applications to something appropriate to our device memory.
Sadly I have to say that for real MULTITASKING 2GB RAM are THE MINIMUM these days, but for really fast and smooth reactions 3GB will be the optimum. Where are these devices you can ask, hah they are NOT BORN YET...
AW: Beggining to think android requires ram.
I think I'm doing something wrong.. Because I never had ram issues.. :/ I'm trying to make my tablet sweat this week ^^

Me neither. I had a Viewsonic GTablet that only had 512MB of RAM, and it wasn't an issue.
It's probably not so much android but the apps. Just like all computing, programs get better and more complex and start requiring more ram and processor power. I think with the Nexus 7,it has plenty of processor, so ram is probably the bottleneck.

You reminded me of my lg p350, 175mb ram and was so slow, and thats with the os fitting in it, Froyo.
1.5 horrible and torturing years later, here i am, with 1gb ram and enjoying it.
Be thankful you even have a gig of ram.

I used roehsoft ram expander on my old wildfire buzz to create a swap file on my sd card to increase the ram memory and it worked pretty well.
Is it possible to use this with the same mini? I ran a test using an app from play store, screen shot below. It may not be accurate. It says the kernel isn't compatible.

The reason for this may be because willy had a custom kernel and our device hasn't got a custom kernel, I came from wildfire aswell.

Well maybe you're right although I tried to run ram expander and it says error no sd card. I set the correct location and it refuses to detect it.

Do you realy need more ram?? 1gb is not enough?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
While the system + running apps is using around 400 - 600 mb sometimes more, I don't want to have to clean up every time I watch a high quality video via my tv or play a heavy game. Some games optimally uses about 500mb, etc. No 1gb isn't enough xd.
Yes I can use su boost via console and it isn't hard, but if I could have more ram wouldn't that be optimal? Who doesn't want more? Why not just stick with a old handset if 1gb is all you'll ever need. I bet a year from now you'll want more when 1gb is relatively small

Yes you are right.

So I guess the question is, what would need to be modified in the kernel to allow creation of the swap file in the SD? Things like this is making me interested in learning android development

Then maybe you should've gone with Note II or a new PC. S3 Mini is not for gaming.

Hi, yesterday I read all threads from mini 2, and I saw that the first cm10.1 have more Mb of ram, and then it have been reduced to 397! Why? @TheWhisp explain : ,,Because SAMSUNG knows the best"

Oh my God this is amazing. It's very strange.. I think that having 414MB in RAM with Mini 2 drivers you can't do a lot so TheWhisp thiked to come bak into 396/397 MB in RAM. Personally, I don't like so much Mini 2 drivers

Yes, but... More ram result more responsive system without lag and better performance. Correct me if I said something wrong.

Yes you're right, more RAM = better performance! :good: But I still think that it's an hardware problem or kernel or both (?)

I'm using my GT-I8150 here and it has 352mb of RAM with stock ROM, we can have kernels up to 416mb. Tho some chose to use the 352mb of RAM because its more stable. Developers made HM kernels which stands for High Memory and its 377mb of RAM. VHM for Very HM, RAM varies with 408 or 416mb. Personally, I'm using 408mb cos its smoother and there are lesser system crashes

Because the extra RAM is taken from other drivers - ADSP (video decoding/endocing and camera) and MDP (display, GPU), meaning these device have less available resources.

So, mini 2 have 512 mb ram which is used for drivers and config. files, and the rest is used as avaiable os ram. But is possible to have at least 400 free ram? ( deleting the license and disclaimer text from sources?)

Don't get confused. Licence/disclaimer texts etc have no impact in ram..

I think that if you delete all useless (not needed) texts from driver files, you can reach 400 mb from 398 )

Nope. And that is because comments in source code are not included in final compiled packet.
