Internal size - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I just need to ask as I'm fairly new to this. When I had stock on my n7100 I had about 10gb usable after touch wizz which was about right. I have now installed liquidsmooth on here and am still showing the same amount free even though this rom is alot smaller. Is this correct? Did I not do something correct during installation? Thanks

its because of the way you phone's partitioned. no matter how small the rom is, the available storage partition will be the same. Just that you will get more space in the system partition,

Oh Ok I see. Thanks for the reply :thumbup:

How does app2ext/link2sd save RAM?
i hav no clue but afta i used S2E and link2sd my ram has jumped.. before it used to be stuck around 35-40 now around 60

I use aggressive 2 settings. My ROM(pete alfonso bugless beast) Doesn't allow for me to change home locked in memory, so i'm not sure if that changes anything.
Latest versions would fix that... I just posted updated 9 RC5
How about a link? ;-)

I'm experiencing similar behaviour - after moving lots of apps to my ext4 partition via Link2SD my old stone seems to be more responsive.

is it the same with the native cm7 app2sd? and how is the battery usage?
its not native cm7 app2sd normally gives sumthin around 160-150 free space...with s2e and link 2 sd it 191 when i newly flashed cm7 and considerable increase in ram

I don't know
I abandoned CM7 some time ago because of serious performance issues when using the camera and Maps while having the launcher locked in memory.
Only thing I can tell is that I noticed a speed gain when I started to use Link2SD.
Might be applicable for other ROMs as well.
I can only assume that it's caused by more space being available for caching purposes.
Options 3, 19, 20 in RC5. I didn't put KAK, dunno if I should. (Used it b4 and still not sure if it is good or bad)

Is it possible to get my memory usage even lower?

Currently using stock gb 2.3.6 and I just changed my wallpaper to static and deleted most of my running apps only to see my usage of ram is 400/800, any chance I can lower it even further without doing any flashing to the from...

why? why would you need over 400mb of free ram doing nothing

Maybe because sometimes I run multiple tasks and next thing you notice is my usage is clocked up to 799/800 and lag is visible!

must be doing alot tp hit the top mark. Anyway tp answer your question nope abojt 400 is as low as you will get the os uses the rest.
If you want to save more you will have to use a lighter rom

Either you are drunk or your keyboard has been cheating on you
+1 on the lighter ROM OR
At OP: there is an app called system tuner, where you could decide which applications should start, using that you could have a restricted start up and "might" be able to reduce memory usage.

[S5830I] Random applications disappearing after reboot

It only happens to apps on the SD (natively).
Moving them to internal memory is not an option since it's rather small.
Is there any way to fix this?
Lol I also have this sometimes on my sgsII v9. I jus unmount sd and mount it back and my apps are back. Hope this helps
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Nope, didn't help. Using a backup app now just in case, but it still would be nice to figure out why this happened in the first place.
Maybe because Urs us S5830i which has. Different hardware specs from the normal S5830

[Q] CM10 Memory Footprint & Reboots

Hi,
I have a P1000 with CM10 (Humberos and Alroger) and I'm very pleased with this ROM.
It's such a difference if compared with GB that it really looks like having a new device.
There is one problem though that I'm not sure can be fixed: the random reboots.
I've dig a bit and apparently reboots are related to the lack of memory.
Analysing the available memory indeed I noticed that it easily goes around 50-70Mb which doesn't seem to be that much and probably this is the root cause of the random reboots.
I've enabled zRAM with a compression rate of 35% but this doesn't seem to have solved the issue.
So I'm wondering why nobody else is actually talking about this issue. Is the majority of P1000+CM10 users not having this issue?
Or it's just that we can't do anything about it and therefore we have to live with this?
In no way this post wants to be a complain. I'm just asking some more information to understand this issue better.
Cheers

Free memory is wasted memory.
This is not Windows which actively swap memory to swap.
if memory really is running low, the memory manager will kill inactive apps, not panic and reboot.

Hi Pryiana,
I'm not sure I got what you mean.
I'm not rebooting the system, it just does it automatically, that's the problem.
What I'm trying to understand here is why it reboots automatically.
Based on Alroger a solution to self reboots is to enable zRAM which is a kernel feature to compress data being written to memory to reduce the footprint.
Are you currently on a CM10 ROM?

I am on aokp jb using humberos kernel (forgot which date)
My point is :
the system reboots you are seeing, it is not because the ROM isn't providing enough free ram. It is something else. Maybe even because the memory manager isn't doing the right thing.
Maybe true that your attempt to free up more ram improves it, but it may just help to avoid hitting the real bug.
Anyway, I am not a dev.
Just a system guy.
I just want to say free ram is wasted ram.
In Linux systems, the kernel grabs as much ram as it can. Not free them.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
OK, I see what you mean.
BTW, I can see from the cm10 thread that other people are having the same issue with the device restarting after a while.
Apparently 512MB are just not enough for Jelly Bean.

Err... Not true..
I am using AOKP JB for SGT7 by stimpz0r and no reboots for me.

Swap file possible?

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.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
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.
