Hi everyone,
I have this phone SGS i9000 but i am constantly running out of memory. Now i got the new Sims game which uses so much ram... Many times the device just starves for ram and reboots itself...
Is it possible to add more HARDWARE ram to this device?
I use Darky roms on my device and checked if i can enable some sort of swap but it is not possible or reasonable...

it's almost impossible without soldering knowledge and a LOT of investigation
just forget a bout it
How would you add this to the PCB? I don't think there is any space left. This is not plug and play, more an embedded device. And how about the other hardware? You also need additional controllers and such things.
--> Impossible.
If you want extra ram you have to buy a new phone
What about swap memory?
hm.. i9000 is realy a low ram device.. i sell my sgs and buy a sgs2 .. a great device
my girlfrend have also 500mb ram device, she use "rammanager root" (search @play-store) it have nice settings and work realy good..
try the demo/trail.. use hardcore game mode for the sims maybe it helps a little bit

Nope, 329MB is user accessable, 128MB is reserved for the graphics card. 55MB is inaccessible because it prevents the device from freezing up when ram is near full.
I will never buy device with less then 2GB of RAM anymore then!
Give the poor device a break, its old already.
Mate I'm running a tsunami ROM in my sgs and it has an 392mb of ROM. And this solved all my ram problems
Tried zRam?
I have an S plus (nearly the same) and i have 358mb of RAM..
Wtf guys this was posted in March, why did you revive this thread?

Hi,
Replying really late , but there is a possible way >> check below -
What advantages of increasing ram on Galaxy S
Running multiple number of application at background.
Games will run smooth without any lagging.
Clear the ram memory to make your device faster.
How to Get More Ram on Galaxy S Cyanogenmod CM10 Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and CM 9 ICS 4.0.4 Custom ROM.
Make sure that your custom rom is loaded with devil kernel or not. For that you can check Go to Settings->About Phone. Scroll down there you can see kernel version of present rom.
Note: So if your custom rom is loaded with different kernel then you need to change it into devil kernel version.
1. Download below zip files based on your Android OS.
For ICS get here.(file name Devil3_1.0.3-ICS_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120724.zip and you can also check latest kernel version and download it)
For JB get here. ( file version 1.0.4)
2. Copy the zip file into phone sd card.
3. Turn off the device and boot into recovery mode. For that you need to press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power button together.
4. When you enter into clockworkmod recovery mode. Select the “install zip from sd card” choose the kernel zip file which you copied earlier in your phone sd card storage.
5. The kernel flashing process will take 1 min. After that reboot the device. That’s it done now your device is fully working with devil kernel.
Note: The Above process is only for who don’t have devil kernel in their Custom Rom. If you’re custom rom is already loaded with devil kernel that you can avoid above process.
Follow below steps:
1. Download devil kernel config app from Google Play here or you can get apk from here.
2. After installing the app on Galaxy S device. Go to app list section there you can see an icon with devil logo and of that app is devil kernel configure.
2. Open the application there you can get Ram Settings Option.
3. Click on it and it will show you three options of ram CM9 368 MB, XL 391 MB and last one big mem 403 Mb. Select Big mem 403 MB to make it done.
4. On the top right side. Click on setup and it will ask you to save the ram settings.
5. When you finalized the settings it indicates to restart the phone in order to make the changes.
6. After rebooting the device. Open the task manager there you will get 403 MB of Ram.
Finally you unlocked more ram on Galaxy S Device running Cyanogenmod 10 Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean ROM.
Rgds,
Kaustav.
You can use swapper from the Google play.
Swapper create a file .swap on your sdcard and this is the RAM :fingers-crossed:

If you do install that kernel you brick your phone. Check the Samsung galaxy s plus section please

This is not really a viable option...
The flash drive is infinitely slower compared to RAM.
Any game demanding more RAM than can be accessed without writing to/from swap would be unplayable.

Rom: Mackay rom 4.9.14 (4.4.4 kitkat)
Kernel: 3.0.101-KK44-x-aries-cma
Ram: 415MB
Lack of RAM is what made me upgrade from this glorious phone to the S4.
As time went by, Android apps got bigger and heavier, making the Galaxy S unusuable alas.
Hi, I flashed my i9305 with the latest rxtreme v7.2. before it i had wanamlite 1.2.
now i see that my available storage is only 10.94GB is that normal?
i never checked how it was before but i know it suppose to be around 16gb am i wrong?
thanks in advance
Emy
Hi,
I'm on rxtreme 7.1 and use my external SD for anything I can. My phone storage is 10.92gb. I wouldn't worry about it
Hope you enjoy the rom, its a the best I've tried
Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2
Me too... but not a problem.. i think i9305 has slightly less available memory than i9300.. but normally any phones' available memory will always be less than stated by the company... like my 32gb sandisk memory card.. available memory is aroumd 29gb.. its normal so dont worry about it
Cheers!
I flashed CM11 from Herna, decided to revert back to stock 4.1.2 and I face this problem. Storage related. Please look at the sceeenshot I've provided below. I am sorry for being noobish if this has been asked before. I am no expert, but I love Android. I love my note.
USB storage appears out of nowhere
Internel Memory is tiny
External SD is fine.
Thank you masters!
Bump. Can anyone help me out please?

I would say this looks normal to me too. I use cm12 currently and it doesn't even show a system entry but when I take the total amount of storage listed from 32gb I get about 6.4gb.
