Hi guys,
I lived with low memory for a long time. Well, not ever. My first Android phone was a LG Optimus One, with Froyo/GB and 512MB. It was much memory (and useless, because the slow ARMv6 processor couldn't deal with it) compared the other low-end phones. The next phones, LG L3, Xperia Tipo, had the same memory size. Then I arrived to Moto G (falcon) times. Great specs (2013) to low-end devices. Revolution!
Three years ago we had JB and KK. Low system memory consumption. Facebook and Facebook Messenger was a single app. Whatsapp was lightweight. And 2GB phones was only for flagships.
Well, we come to today. Facebook alone eat more RAM than ever without Messenger. Whatsapp makes more and more things, and it occupies more memory. And Moto's LP and MM are heavy, much heavy. After some time trying to keep stock firmware, I wipped it and flashed XOSP, things are better, but not as desired.
Then, I ask you: how to live today with 1GB RAM? My Moto G 2014 "freezes" frequently. Multitasking is a dream. And Pokémon Go requires 2GB RAM devices (and crash sometimes because low RAM). Is there a hope? ZRAM? LMK? A lightweight custom ROM? Maybe an custom ROM compiled to optimize code size (using LTO?)?
Sorry by the sad mode. And terrifying english.
Hey,
i tested around with some custom roms, cause i had the same problems with the stock rom.
Finally i'm happy with this Turbo ROM ★ Layers ★ DUI [06/04/16][OFFICIAL] Custom Rom. I also flashed decipher as kernel. (not MPB) and installed greenify donate and l speed with the settings of amol amrit. Just deactivated the zram, cause Pokemon Go runs a bit better.
My G 2 feels like a new middleclass smartphone1!
Sorry bad english!

I'm using Turbo ROM for like 2 months atm and it's almost perfect, but still has some bugs. I was thinking of giving another try to the MM Stock XT1068 but, you know, I'm scared of Motorola devs's work. Should I give it a try or keep with Turbo ROM?
Try it, for me it's working fine, with small debloat

no script, manually deleted almost all Gapps and some motorola app with link2sd (with root)
How much RAM do you usually have in custom roms? In LineageOS I'm getting 500mb available, and with the operating system spending 800 ~ 1gb, is this normal? (mi5 32gb 3gb)
I'm with the same "issue". It's normal? You got a fix?
Don't care about this
You don't need to care about this,Android will automatically manage RAM.
Android N is smart
Have the same situation , lineage doesnt kill all app background action like miui. However, i statisfy with the performance and at least, it doesnt show the ram available like miui, so i absolutely dont be annoyed about it
If you do much care about RAM then try some slim ROM.

You can change you ram from 3g to 6g,l have already changed mine with 349RMB.
Hello!
I'm thinking about buying Moto X4 with 4 GB of RAM, but after some research I found out, that RAM management on this phone is pretty bad. How it's looks in real life? How many apps wold I be able to keep in memory? Or maybe it was an issue only on specific Android version? Xiaomi Mi A1 probably don't have this problem, and can handle with 10+ apps running, but I don't know if I get used to that huge phone
Regards,
Hello everyone.
So, currently i'm running LineageOS 18.1 which is eating 2.4gb of ram out of the very limited 3gb the phone has. I was wondering, since i haven't tried them all, which custom rom has the smallest memory footprint ?
Does nobody know ?
