I know the GN3 has 3gb's of RAM with dedicated graphics RAM. And that Android knows when to kill apps/processes if it needs to free up some RAM.
For all that are familiar zepplinrox's V6 Supercharger App( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276).
Does anybody have any input on this being applicable for the GN3? Could our phones benefit from it? Why would you or why would you not use that app on the GN3?

No benefit. This phone doesn't even lag at all.

I dont know i if this is a problem but i got only around 150mb avalible ram all the time.. Is that normal or shouldnt i have about 338mb ram with the speedmod kernal? Tanks in advance.

Not a problem...
Unused ram is wasted ram.
Are you talking about total available RAM (including used and free RAM), or just RAM that isn't occupied by running processes (free RAM)?

First of all let us know what ROM do you use.
Is it Simply Honey? If so, go to ext4 application and run 'Convert to ext4'.
Have you had a look inside the phones case sometimes the ram hides itself under the battery .

Running:
Firmware: 2.3.4
Kernal: 2.6.35.7 hardcore speedmod 300hz
Cwm:2.5.1.0
Have encountered an excessive ram
problem even after clearing ram using task
manager, i am using autostarts aswell to
reduce but no,luck, i am at a loss, wether it
could be the galaxy running 2.3.4 i don't
know, any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have excessive ram or the other way around (less free ram than you're expecting) ?
And more than that .. don't you think you should share some real values with us?
For example, (I'm running GB JVP 2.3.4) when I'm bootong I'm getting about 130MB of free ram and in the normal usage the free ram reported by the system is ~80-100MB.
Currently in task manager sits around 250 280 lb of ram even after killing off apps. Im at a loss, thinking of just flashing darkys
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
you are fine .. this is the gingerbread behavior from what I know.
Ram is running all the time.Linux maked use of holding things in ram incase the application is used again. Anything in ram doesn't make the system slower, unless you are into precise control and into milliseconds of time-saving.

Thought it might have been gingerbread, I might flash back to a 2.2 early Rom

As I said before: Ram is there and powered up. Anything in ram does not use power because it it is used already by the ram.

Alright but I've noticed that the more ram that's in use the slower my phone is.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've just fashed lite'nin 3.0 and I have no problems. 538 megs of ram is being used and the phone is not slow. I have noticed that some apps can cause a slow or stuttering phone. I have tried a lot of custom roms, Insanity, miui, stock on my sg1, cognition, darky's, stock and litenin on sgs2.
I'm keeping with litenin as I find it to be very stable, good battery and I have found no bugs.
Perhaps you could find out if an app is causing slowness? I have 271 apps and all run ok. Palmary weather caused problems so it's gone. Are you using any cpu frequency apps?

Hello everyone! Having a 2GB RAM in nexus 4, I am curious how much max RAM have you people used. After running my daily apps like Facebook,8 tracks, flipboard, what's app, viber,xda, drop box, chrome, I have used a Max of 1.2GB RAM. Post your max RAM usage.

I have used about a 1 GB of RAM. I love having extra ram in a phone

Lol. Yup. That extra ram Will be much helpful for the future updates. My friend's one x's 1 gig of RAM is now not sufficient for him.
Imho, nexus 4's power has not been used to the full yet. Optimization needs to be done, both in hardware and software. I believe we have a hardware that will go into full swing next year
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Most likely key lime pie will have more optimizations hopefully and it should debut this year.

That is true. Take for example the galaxy nexus was released two years ago and its going strong
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I dunno why 1gig of RAM wouldn't be sufficient but i don't mind having the extra. And KLP rumors say that the new Linux Kernel will actually be substantially more RAM efficient.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
i usually have between 1375-1500mb free ram at any point of my usage(about 1650mb after killing my apps). i also use autostarts to prevent apps from starting up in the background, and i use greenify to tame wild apps.
I've seen about 1.2-1.4gb of my RAM being used. But there was someone who kept complaining that the nexus 4 would close apps even if plenty of space was remaining. i think that person even started a thread & posted videos to prove it .

anyone can fake that video. can even make it kill the background apps sooner when very little ram is used. all you have to do is change the memory management variables by raising them. plus, there are roms out there that do that too.
Yes. I feel like that nexus 4 kills certain apps or refreshes despite having enough RAM.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Using Elixer 2 widgets, I seen to hover between 1.2gb to 800mb free ram. I don't really close anything, pretty much just let it run on its own. Stock not rooted or anything. I have probably 50 give or take a few apps installed.

Ram use age is not only dependent upon the applications running... If you use roms like xylon or liquid etc there are options to show how much ram is used by applications, cache and one other thing which i can't remember right now.. So basically my ram use age in real life had always been nearly to 1.6 1.7 GB!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
is jelly bean optimized for 2gb?, Ive had apps close not crash and I wonder why if it needed the ram, would changing the vm heapsize help?
I checked and I usually have 700mb remaining.
My Galaxy Nexus ran perfectly with 1gb ram so its probably more like JB uses ram pretty efficiently. More helps tho.

That much RAM? you are on a custom Rom? Could you list your apps?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Maximum RAM used on my N4 was about 800-900 MB. Stock everything, with some services running like Facebook,Whatsapp,8tracks,Lightflow and a live wallpaper ..
As for the people wondering why some apps appear to "close" on their own despite having enough RAM. Its the app's fault, the code is not written well and does not advantage of Android's multitasking capabilities.

Mine has free 900+ mb

I don't use that many apps..and yea iam on a custom rom...but i guess u didnt get what i am saying...most of the time what ubsee ass ur free rom isn't actually free... It's being used by cache and other things...what most roms show u is only how much ram applications use..as u can see from my screen shot... The phones ram is never entirely free !

Hi Guys,
Is there any way to optimize the RAM on the HTC one to get better performance.
I know that supercharger v6 is around but haven't heard of anyone using it on the HTC one.
Any other options?
You could always flash a kernel that allows over clocking both the CPU and GPU, and messing around with the governors. Memory management is already rather efficient.
What ROM are you on?

Optimize in what way?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Optimizing RAM use won't give any practical performance increases unless you're doing so many things that you're literally running out of RAM, which if you are, you really need to close down some apks.
Android free up space automatically. Have not yet or never on any phone encountered low RAM warnings.

I recently rooted my galaxy note, and freezing some system apps did make some difference from earlier almost unusable note. Recently while searching for ram booster on play store I came across this app called Ram Booster (root) by Gejos Enterprise, it has got mostly 5 stars but it requires root to modify configuration and people under feedback do notice difference in performance, has anyone of you tried this and any expert recommend this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
i use titanium backup to freeze all the bloatware and greenify to save battery and prevent user apps from stay working in the background.
you can use swapper to increese ram but first your kernel must support swapping.
if you want a big difference flash stock gingerbread or checkrom.
Most of ram booster apps in the market are task killer (not very useful) so greenify and titanium backup are better.
