It is not bad that the RAM is in use. RAM stands for Random Access Memory and can and will be used for the system and used apps. eXistenZe is pretty bloatware free but you can remove extra apps when you want to (see link above).
RAM management of Sony is pretty agressive so you have to play a bit to see what works for you

sometimes i feel like ram isnt enough especially when playing games. when i exit the game, icons begin to reload which is an indication of low ram i think?

You could try to clear some RAM with apps like Fast Reboot or any Taskmanager. However constantly clearing RAM is not good and will Cache data.. If you want to play a Game reboot your device. All the apps are closed and only the system and start-with-boot apps are started. This results in a minimum RAM usage

The reload is not always indications of low ram, but its just reload the launcher, in many roms launcher is locked on the ram, so when you exit its dont have a reload time.
its doesn't matter if you have less free ram in your device, if you still feel good and smooth when used it.

Thanks. I thought the reload was due ro low ram, since they are reloading from the storage.

try not to use the FB app. It really is a RAM eater.

It's better to have less free RAM in Linux.

If you have titanium backup, you can also try the hard way which is creating a widget for disabling/enabling/launching Facebook application. So when you click the widget it unfreezes the app and launch it. When you are finish you click on the widget again and it will this time disable the app totally from your system. It takes like 1 more second to launch the app but if you don't use it a lot it's worth it !

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.

You can stop it using a task killer. There are much in Google Play Store
Odp: apps shown without i opened them
It is very bad idea to use task killers ! After some usage you will have problems with your battery ! Android is cleaning ram when he need it so you don't need to shut down apps

Well there's nothing wrong to use task killer if you need little free ram and quick boost
And for op problem use autorun manager

Lag on a very light app

I use the ea fifa companion app and it lags really badly on my phone when I click the menu, is it the phone that is the problem or is it the app. Can anyone confirm it. Thanks in advance.

Might be the CPU underclocking, not giving enough power. Try setting cpu frequencies to minimum over 1ghz and see if it makes a difference! if not, poor coding and optimization.
I tried making the CPU work constantly at 1.5 Ghz but that didn't help. Is it just my phone or is it all Xperia z phones

it s almost about bugs in app. (not enough compatible with xperia z, maybe!)
and now i see the link u sent that it s not compatible at all !!!!
and for this kindda lag u should also check what s happening in background
check background process with ** stock apps manager of Xperia ** and sometimes try to release manually RAM and clear cache.
(it s not about Xperia phones, that because of android and google should work on RAM and Cache management more on android, cause it happens on all smartphones)

Yes i use this app too, it does lag a lot on Z but its nothing to do with the phone this app is very poorly optimized it also lags in Samsung Note, SE Mini pro and S3 . (these are the phones i've used the app with)

Interesting because the app tells me that is compatible with all my devices.
Just downloaded however you need an account, so can't test it further. But as stated by someone else, is that it runs slow on a number of their devices. So would appear to be a badly written software that has not progressed and been optimised as the android operating systems have. From what I gather it would seem that the software does not support multi core devices

What happen to my phone? Apps that I'm using kill automaticly

I have been using stock Rom rooted jellybean for sometime. But one thing really annoy me. It's that,if I use screen filter,music player and browser together at the same time. It close the screen filter and music player after sometime browsing the web. Is this about ram issue? I have tried super charge the service jar to die hard..but the launcher still reload quite often ..any idea?

I already stated that i have root....bl unlocked too.. I prefer stock...as it's the most stable of all..but not sure which bloatware to delete.. Is this cause by minfree values?
I have exactly the same problem. System kills many apps when I'm using them. And I have deleted all useless bloatware. I guess I will have to reflash stock JB... You should try the same.

Yes, it's caused by lmk minfree values.
It looks like the pure stock fw is not so stable.

Or maybe it's a problem in adj value? I dun think stock value was that high..
Sent from my LT25i using xda app-developers app
Both. Adj tells to lmk what kind of apps to kill and minfree tells when to kill. With our phone (800MB available), we are always out of memory. Settings/apps/running value is a joke. It only tells how much memory is available if you kill apps that can theoretically be killed.
Most of user apps are using adj around 8-12. With lmk values in stock fw, these are killed very often.
This is what I found. But this memory thing is much more complicated (heap size, overcommiting, garbage collector, and who knows what else).
And I think, when the memory is divided into 3 blocks like we have, it also cannot be good.
Because of that all, Z already has 2GB.

I saw the vm heapsize in my v was 256m and heapsize limit is 64m..so the only solution is change the minfree?

I don't know about any other solution.
Use android tweaker(paid app) or pimp my rom beta(free) to set up better multitasking
After I supercharge the rom, I use die hard launcher... Then things turn out like this

Task killers are unecessary imo, it actually drains more battery if you constantly kill apps in the background because the app justs starts back if it is set to run in the background
also android automatically kills apps when there is not enough ram to run specific apps
