I think it is the prob of our "old" device with only 512MB RAM...
Do you use "heavy" apps like facebook, skype and so on ...more functions need more RAM for the apps ...
I`m using CM 10.2 with Semaphore and BigMEM-Libs so that i have 409MB RAM available ...

No,i dont have any heavy app,yes my device got 512 mb ram from which 366 mb is available.Before i flashed everything was working very fine even the app like facebook worked very smooth but now i can hardly open my device settings also.
But actually my problem is not this my problem is if my phone is using 124 mb ram there should have been 125 mb or more ram free but its showing only 25-30 mb free!!!

I had the same problem with the RAM, lot of apps began to force close and the system was SLOW! really slow! I tried installing Greenify that can hibernate apps to free up more RAM but sometimes it doesn't work so I had to restart my device.
Now I'm very happy because I've found a solution that works excellent! You have to insert an sd card and create a swap partition. I use the Devil Kernel because it supports a swap partition. To activate my partition I used the Devil Kernel Manager and and set a swappiness value of 60.
To verify if your swap memory is working you have to type "free" in a terminal console. In past I've tried to use the app Swapper to create a Swap file but it never worked like the real partition.
I think that a swap partition is a need for our i9000 devices if you plan to use many apps.

Samsung Galaxy S ram question

Samsung claims 512mb ram memory and 329mb user accessible memory. But infact its 86mb user accessible. I thought before buying that i'll get all 329mb for browser and video or anything else. Where is 183mb memory? (512-329= 512MB)... I thought android system will b installed on that.

Boot to recovery. There you'll have most of the RAM free.
Any rom as long as you dont boot your phone should do...

lol big time!!
I'm using CM7 (2.3.7) and it only offers 44MB after boot ...
Currently what is the best rom for the milestone 1, with good performance and at least a 80MB ram free?
And what makes you think that you need 80MB of free ram?
It's a big missconception to think that free ram is the way to go.

With 44MB current when using opera mobile app sometimes closes due to lack of memory
Use the latest CM7 build and create a swap file/partition on your SD card - that will resolve all your memory-issues.
Instructions are in the corresponding threads.

if u root and install Titanium Backup and remove some bloatware that u dont want to use and limit the number of startup apps using Autostarts or Rom toolbox pro.. it will definitely free ram,
but android has a good ram handling policy.. it will free automatically as and when required.

RAM Problem

I am on the latest Django Nämliche.
The problem is that I always have 40 Mb RAM free. And when I have more than 2 or 3 apps open, the apps close because I the RAM is away.
Have anybody a solution?

First,
If you are talking about the P990, then it is Django Manouche ROM by Carburano.
Next, use a task manager or make the correct value for the cron script (read the OP and you will find how to do it) and give the right permissions for the startsh script file....this will help in clearing the unutilised RAM space.....
I have 70+ apps and I have not found such an issue.....never used a minfree manager but why dont u try if you have no other alternative.
Hope this helps you
