Can the system usage of RAM be cut down a bit so that more RAM is available to use? I use Touchwiz 4 on my device and its really fast but it takes too much RAM (I only have 39MB left out of 309MB). My phone freezes and its really annoying. I even can't find an overclocking kernel for JVB/JVH.
If you really want the best out of your phone, consider trying an AOSP CM7 based ROM. And please don't post questions in Android Development... post in Q&A!
When I rolled back to v10h, I was extremely amazed by the ram consumption by the rom, it was so low that its basically twice the amount of free ram compared to AOSP/CM & Stock(or like zaiben) JB.
Is there any possible explanations?
Also I get no annoying wakes thus my battery consumption of a 10 hour sleep is 1% only! WOW.
The battery life is absolutely terrible in any way I tried, so I tried doing it last night and boy was I amazed.
(though the 2-3 mins per % is still quite there and gaming battery life is still bad)
So any chance do I get that amount of RAM and battery while using AOSP/CM or Stock based?

Ignoring all the other questions - which you really should read and search, rather than opening yet more threads about the same things ...
Free RAM is wasted RAM. You need to remember that Android is based on a *nix kernel, which is massively different to Windows. Android will use as much RAM as it needs to and will free space up by killing apps if, and only if, it has to. Unless you have less than about 50MB free RAM you shouldn't worry about it.
Guys, we all know that CM roms are far better than what touchwiz had to offer... but I saw a thing which amazed me.. cm roms have very low apps compared to touch wiz.. but the touchwiz had more RAM availability than the CM
CM - 778MB
TW - 862 MB
--
Ain't their a way to increase CM ram availability to the user
What's the problem? I don't care about ram until phone is smooth on cm.
I'm also want to know about that.. perhaps is the kernel... but if someone who can give a clarifing answer would be apreciated.. ..
Yes it depends on the kernel you are using.

which kernels provide the maximum overall RAM availaible?
Haven't tested much since JB was out but on ICS, hydracore kernel used to make a lot of ram usable.

Yeah you are correct!
Unused RAM ist wasted RAM. Rom/Kernel are the "people" who should handle resource management - nothing that the user should care about - especially not in the way: free RAM as much as possible.

It's not about how much is used and free ram. It's about the max available for use out of 1 GB that note claims to have.
@ThaiDai you were coming out with your cm10.2 rom? if you do.. please try to avail as lot of memory as possible!
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.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the LeEco Le Pro3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
With heavy gaming you get around 4 hours SOT with custom ROM. Stock ROM get 5 hours SOT
Sent from my YT-X703F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Never noticed this sub-section haha. This is from stock, about 6 months ago. I only charge up to 60% now, so I don't have any recent screenshots that start near 90-100.
Stock based rom. Almost 2 days unpluged, mainly light usage, some gps and camera. Cannot even come close to this on any cm or aosp based rom.
Stock rom 23S 2 days or more with light to medium usage no games just internet, socials app, youtube etc. I have few phones the Pro 3 is the fastest for day to day use, loading apps quickly I got the 6Gb ram/64Gb rom version.
Omni 20170820. I get about 9+ hours of SOT with using GhostPepper governor. About 60 ~ 75 min. for 10% of battery and idle drain eating the rest.

Holy crap! What are all the mods you did and how is your usage of the phone?

He said as his first word: Omni ROM.. Search here in the XDA.. Maybe they tell you about this governor.. I will search

Do you have stock kernel or another one?
Do you have any visible bug like battery stats and others?
You people have to remember that there's TWO versions of Le Pro 3.. one with 4gb ram... other 6gb ram... there's a HUGE gap between those two models regarding battery life IMHO...

Like what? 2gb extra brings more battery life, because it keeps more app in the background?

Unlike.. 2gb more ram hogs more battery as it asks the CPU more things to do and stuff (I'm not the guy to explain it hahah).. but do you think a (supposed) 16gb ram mobile can't hog more battery? Think about that

If you want great battery life buy phone with Snapdragon 625, every day use is plenty fast, fine, simlar to Sd820/821. Xiaomi phone is ok they have few with Sd625.

This "HUGE" gap is theoretically 5% mentiond by Qualcomm itself if you cmp the sd820 with the 821.. That isn't huge but still 0.5/10th of the battery life, depending on how well the rom has been ported and optimized.
For the stock rom, it will probably last. But if you don't like the iOS clone design of android that runs on it well, a custom rom isn't going to beat it anytime soon unfortunately..
Omnirom 20171018 + Black Screen Kernel v3.6.1 + Ex Kernel Manager (alucard governor, I/O is noop, perfd is disabled)
No gaming, but plently social media apps, internet, wifi etc.
It is between 8 to 9.5 hours up to the usage. Your usages may varry though.

GhostPepper 2.0 as Advanced Governor Profile. There are better battery saving profiles but I find GP2.0 to be the smoothest while proving excellent battery life.
Autostarts to unlink unnecessary event trigger.
Greenify to force certain misbehaving apps to sleep instead of sucking up battery background.
Forcedoze to further force doze but I am not sure if it is useful at this point. I am considering to uninstall it.
Underclock to 1516 and 1900mhz. I do not use heavy apps so it works for me.
I also use battery in 40 ~ 80% range so after a full year of use, my battery is in good shape. I only charge up to 90~100% when I'm traveling.

Stock Omni kernel. I've been on 0820 build/kernel as versions after it gave me worse battery life. Then I recently updated rom to the latest one due to KRACK. I noticed that the kernel is still draining more battery so I flashed 0820 kernel.
Now, my understanding is that battery drain is function of kernel, not rom. But with latest rom and 0820 kernel setting, I am seeing significantly higher battery usage. It could be some other factor so I am in test mode now.
Battery stats bug? Big core battery stats in EX Kernel Manager. Never had that issue on 0820 but with latest version, I do see it.

I gave Black Screen Kernel and Alucard governor a try after reading your post. Though it is too early to draw a call, it seems to be slightly better than GhostPepper tweak. It is very very good.
Ive Got LineageOS 14.1 and latest BlackScreen, but my SOT is between 5-5.30h :[
Im using ondemand cpu governor on big cores and schetudil on small ones.
GPU governor is simple_ondemand, I/O is set as Noop, there is also low memory killer set as agressive.
Im also using Greenify (without shallow Hibernation).
Im thinking that Its not good score for my settings. What should, i change?
Thanks!
I reached 9 hours sot without akt or anything else. Just the banggood's 20s rom. I am pretty impressed.
I have the elite x722. Sorry.
Don't normally go past 7 hours , system service always seems to drain my battery
