RAM = No

Follow this guide, and remove the ones that you don't need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30573818&postcount=1538
Also, follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30595805&postcount=1555 if you want some more space in ROM (/system partition)
It's not more RAM that you need; it's more internal memory. Unfortunately, if you want Play Store, you don't have much choice but to delete certain things which aren't essential.
Use ICS or GB based roms if you don't want to delete things to make room for Play Store.

There is way to increase ram but I doubt it will work on cm 10 I am using cmx and ram extended to 713mb and anyway what you need is more internal memory and not ram.

Easy all you need is to create a swap partition.
Now there are two ways
1. You go into recovery mode. Then advanced then partition sd card then select the ext partition size then it will ask swap size select whatever size you wish then let the process complete. This method will erase everything on your sd card but will give more stability and better performance than the next method.
2. Open Google play then search for swapit if you find it then download it I think it is free if it isn't then download swapper but I would still suggest swapit. Anyway whichever you download create a swap file through the app in sd card and not ext. After the process is complete you will have increased your ram.
You have successfully increased your ram but now you need to configure your device to recognize the extended ram so download ram manager(pro) from anywhere open it and select multitasking then see the device performance in the app it is like a speedometer it will be around 60 now just clear ram and swoop it becomes full.
You will surely see a significant change though most of it depends on your quality of sd card I have no problems hope even you don't.

There are sufficient memory are available in your internel.that you can move applications to your sd.but These scripts are for a min.class 6 sd card user.
Also Runs on class 4 with poor performance.
Do this trick..it will improve your performance.
Go to titanium backup.
First convert such system apps to user apps what you wont be use much.
Second convert such a user apps into system apps that you are using daily.
Not increase memory but definately gives performance to you.

Delete what? Unnecessary crap? Go to system/app and remove things you don't need/want. I suspect that you're a bit noobish, so check out the thread, "Applications that's Safe To Remove", or something like that (just scroll up).

If I understand the question correctly, he wants to know how to increase RAM, not storage. Storage is not a big deal both internal or external. But RAM is only 800+M and mostly 700+M is occupied and makes Note sluggish sometimes. Anyway, this is my first post at xda and greetings to each & every1 of you
Use TB
Just install Titanium Backup and goto Batch mode then scroll down to Un-Install all user and system apps. Then follow this link https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html to see whats safe to remove. Remove all that you do not require and you will find a huge difference in space which will speed up your device as well. Hope this helps.

Internal memory almost full.

So the sp does not support moving apps to the sd card. As a result of this, having the phone for a week I keep getting warnings to say the memory is over 75% full. Is there a way around this yet? I really like the standard Rom and hope I don't have to wait for custom roms.

for this u should have root access (on a custom rom)

Download Link2SD, moves all your apps and app data to your sd card and any future data will aswell, however you'll have to manually link every app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
You need root to use these apps.
When using link 2sd you have to create a secondary partition on PC make it primary and use fat32 this is supported by stock.
You can link all apps to extsd
I use foldermount pro to move game data to extsd. As a result of using both these apps I have over 4gig free on internal.

[Q] How to change a big game data directory

Hi, well, i've been searching, well, googling also. How to change the default data directory where the game gets the resources to start the game but no results.
Why?
Well as i have the 8GB version of the SGSA, i have almost 4 GB of storage, right? Well. I also bought a 16GB SD Card to store big games like FIFA 12, NOVA 3, NFS Hot Pursuit, GTA III, etc.
Well, when i download the game, it asks to download it from the apk. Well, i do it, but the problem here is that it downloads to sdcard0/Android/data (internal storage), and i want it to download to sdcard1/Android/data (external). But when i start the game, it just requests to download the whole game again.
So, is there any way to change the direction of the directory where the game uses the resources to start? (From sdcard0/Android/data to sdcard1/Android/data) Help pls

There is a simple method with FolderMount
It creates binds between 2 folders.
In short it's what @frapeti was giving you through manual terminal writing, in a nice GUI suite.

I meant moving the apk to external sd( creating apk link in /data/app and putting the apk on ext sd)
this isn't a big prob for us with 8/16 GB, but for those with 100-500 MB internal storage.
