The description of this device on XDA says 128 megabytes of RAM
But right now I have 186 megabytes of RAM on the MiniCM10

I did a test on my LG Optimus 2X (P990) using 2 independent software
that I downloaded from Android Market.
The SW used is: Elixir and Phone Tester.
The result on both tests showed like this:
Total RAM: 372 MB
Free: 132 MB
Memory Limit 32 MB
Threshold 12 MB
Max Memory for VM 32 MB
But the specs for this phone show - Total RAM size to be 512 MB.
See GSM Arena Website: 512 MB RAM

Where is the remaining 140 MB ?..Why is it missing ?
Please, does anyone here know the reason or explanation for this ?
Thank you.
it's used by the gpu.

128 MB is used by GPU
384 MB is available for user
128 + 384 = 512

Well as we all know our phones have 512 RAM but only 357 is usable.Why...I realy want the rest of the ram...mostly for multi tasking. So the question is HOW can we increse ur usable RAM to 512...and what system uses the rest...ram...allready when I start my phone the "system" takes more then 154 mb...with 0 apps running.
Choose a kernel with bigmem. They are all pushing 400 MB of available ram on the i9000.
SlimICS is just under 80 MB including Google apps.
To get the most out of multi-tasking you'll want to set the amount of ram the minfree taskkiller will keep, really low, like 25MB.
The 512mb of RAM is devided into two, for systems apps and for the user (you) you get 357mb while the other 100 odd is being used for system processes

Thx all and I understand that the systen uses 100 but what does use the 155 mb when I start my phone; we realy nees to make a kernel that supports at least 400+ mb it will help a lot for multi tasking

You can't. These phones have 512mb of RAM. ~100mb is used as Shared Graphics Memory like on Intel based laptops and such. The rest is then allocated to the system. This usually leaves around 350mb - 400mb of RAM available.
I'm not 100% on this because I'm new to Android (Had my SGS for 2 weeks). I think when Kernels have "bigmem" or differing amounts of RAM all they're doing is reducing the amount allocated to the GPU and therefore giving the system a bit more to run with.
well that is what i want more ram, "bigmem", if anyone can make it to an kernel for I9001 I/We will be very happy...
Try and apply called RAM BOOSTER PRO to free a lot of ram it's very useful

ok so i was thinking our mini has 384mb ram of which only 280 are available...is there some way to use the whole RAM not only 280mb??
on froyo i had: 279mb ram
on ginger: 280
on ics: 276mb
so why not 384?? whats holding the other 104 mb?
think i found what i was looking for: "MemTotal" = physical memory minus whatever is being shared with devices (such as the radio, DMA buffers, etc), so it will always be less than the advertised RAM for your phone.
am i right??
Use swap it will increase your ram but you must have a good sd card.

you mean a class 10 card? If so, how do I create a swap partition for my rooted device?
It's because some memory is also used for graphics and other stuff. In ICS it is 279MB, but on JB it's 276 because I have increased framebuffer size for triple buffering etc.. Theoretically, by experimenting, it's possible to get at least 285-290MB.
Me, too..
I have experimenting and the result :
Froyo : 281 MB
Ginger : 279 MB
IceCream : 278 MB
JellyBean : 276 MB
as far as i know, RAM used by :
1. GPU
2. Graphics thing
3. And Other stuff..
Then the rest of them goes to RAM values, so your Mini RAM was around 300 Megabytes, but since GPU, and other things take it RAM just decreased.
I also have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Inc, wich have a 1 Gigabytes RAM, but since other things take it, it decreased into 679 MB (wow, really huge decreased isn't it ? :silly: )

You can create a swap partition from cwm from advanced option then while partitioning SD card select a value for swap. This will completely erase your SD card so make a backup

Hi,
how much MB RAM has Xperia T ? Sony say 1GB, but phone 642MB (390USED, 252FREE).
On my other phones with 1GB it's value correctly (for example 400USED, 624FREE).
Petr
As far as I can figure out Sony hides the value used by system whereas other phones don't.

I think, the rest of 1GB memory is dedicated to GPU (384MB).
Ok my Samsung Note is 1 year old but it lags heavily. It is running Android 4.1.2. Almost all the applications lag heavily and I had a question about the RAM.
Out of total 1 GB RAM , my note shows the available RAM as 863 MB. But the problem is that RAM usage always shows between 700-750 out of 863 MB. I have checked and calculated the total RAM usage by all the applications (Including Cached Processes/Background process) and it is about 380 MB.
But still there is a difference 700 - 380 MB = 320 MB which no application is using........Who is using this 300 MB?.......Is there a memory leak.....Should I give my Mobile for repair for reflashing the firmware?.........Kindly reply.
The widgets are using that much of ram and other google.syncing. Facebook syncing and many things like that l...
Hit THANKS
