Can we repartition our memory on our g2 therefore extending our ram for sense 3.0 i do kno it is possible on a computer
'Muhahahahahaha'

srsly?
Well a simple answer is no. Computers are much diffrent to Smart phones. Well that would be cool if we could increase the ram

Is there a way to use the entire 512mb ram rather than just 410mb?
Devs have been able to do it for zte blade via a kernel mod...
Can anyone do it for wfs?
Not sure I'm near sure the rest of the ram is being used by the gpu for rendering the graphics etc but ill look into it.

I know for sure you can't do anything about it on the Desire Z. I would be about 99% sure it's the same for WFS - i.e. the rest is used by system stuff (e.g. the radio).
The RAM should be plenty anyway, don't worry about it.

You could use swap memory, it won't speed up your phone idk how much, but it might actually help in critical moments ...

That's a bloddy good question. Even if you loaded in the whole of cm7 AT ONCE you wouldn't get that much ram usage.. not if it was on its own anyway.

I don't think you need anymore RAM Memory. It's really no point of doing that.

I don't think it's possible, and if it is, why would you need it?

Because it would make games faster and allow heavier multitasking.

Good Idea!
RAM manager pro,try it out,it could help,u can enable the type of ram usage you need...hope it helps
cm9/10 based roms are great and getting better with every passing day.but battery wise they are much worse compared to cleanGB or people's rom. i dont feel much problem on normal days as i am always near a power source, but when i have to travel somewhere, or stay away from charger for 10-12 hours, conditions become very bad. I hardly use the phone in such conditions and even then the epic fails most of the time to make it through. our epic has around 600 mb of internal memory free in cm9/10. so my guestion is, is it possible to have a dual boot internal memory light-weight version of gb(~100mb) so that we can use that while we are away from power for a long time.??i guess a lot of other epic users feel the same..developers please comment.
I'm currently using the gb miui 2.3.9 rom and battery life is very good.....That may be a good alternative for you.

It's all in the kernel and Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G doesn't have a dual boot kernel like the SGSII has. Be happy that you got 600MB is free for non SD card apps.

It's my understanding that this phone comes with 1gb of ram... Why is it that at any given time only about 350mb of that is free to use, and only 768mb is available total? I realize the OS needs ram to run, but I can't imagine that it needs ~600mb.

bump.
I want to know as well, the lowest I get it is 326mb with easy task killer,
I assume 768mb available is just what they give us, it's always less than advertised.. but I dont understand how on my last phone there would be 100mb free but itd be running like.. ****

I believe a certain portion of your RAM is reserved for system devices like Radio and isn't seen by the Android OS.

I noticed this to, but if you ever had an older Gingerbread device, even running CM7 they came with 256-384mb of Ram. By the time the phone was booted and all the front end services and apps were loaded, you had roughly 90mb of free ram to play with. I heard ICS and JB would at least double that, which is in par for the 768 +/- Ram usable. With a custom ROM, and removed bloat, I have close to 500mb free at boot time, so still a lot of front end apps are being loaded and using that Ram.
I think this is why a lot of older devices, even with 512 ram had a hard time getting an ICS update. Processor wasn't really the hardware in question, but moreso the Ram.
I hope this makes a little sense since I'm still half a sleep
Remember that android loves to fill up your ram with your apps for quicker launching. Android actually runs worse when you have free ram. Go into developer options and limit background processes to 0 and see for yourself lol

I've never been a big fan of it and I have never tried it. Most of the new roms now a days seem to require this. Does using A2SD contribute to making our devices less laggy? Sense 3+ and ics roms usually make my phone lag and its just in general a ****ty experience. While other people are reporting success and lag free.
A2SD makes that much of a difference?

It moves the cache and dalvik cache to the SD card, freeing up internal memory, therefore giving more space to use, so yes, it is a big deal.

Does anyone know how to fix the massive RAM usage on the Galaxy Pro Tab 10.1?
My Tab is stock unrooted. Without me doing anything it uses 1.2 or more GB of RAM.

Keep in mind touchwiz uses a ton but android is made to keep things in ram.

Why do you worry about it? Unused RAM in Android is wasted RAM. Let OS manage it, you don't need to pay attention.

But inaccurate. It has more to do with how Android manages memory, not with the TouchWiz skin.

+1 Android intentionally keeps commonly used code and apps in memory to save battery. Keeping apps in memory is more processor efficient than repeatedly dumping and loading them which increases load on the processor, and processor usage makes the difference in battery performance, not how much memory is being used.

+1 Task killers and other apps that promise to manage memory are worthless.

Excellent post. I usually get to respond to these so thanks for beating me to the punch with very good information.
I know Android does a good job managing RAM and that other task managers are worth using.
I did think that using most of the RAM would slow down the tablet.
Thanks to all of you for explaining it to me, I really appreciate it! Now I'm more confident about having only 2GB of RAM.

Also, there are some apps which are using RAM that I don't use, haven't used, and haven't opened. I was wondering how to get them to stop using RAM because there's no point for them to use my RAM when I don't use the app.
Most are stock Samsung apps.
