Ram question - Defy General

So i checked the phone's "components" within quadrant's system info and I saw that my phone has 230 mb free and ~220 mb inactive... So how do I activate those mb?
P.S: I have CM7 1.5

it means not currently in use not that it isnt working.

Then why when i use that widget from advanced task killer shows only 240mb free after killing all processes

advanced task killer only kills unwanted apps. You cant kill core system apps, the android system and the linux kernel can you? So that is what takes the rest of the ram

Ok thx

"Where's my RAM?!"

SetCPU and "RAM Usage" only show 408MB of total memory (I'm using ShadowFrost kernel).
Where is the rest? Is it just reserved for the system and the gpu and it's not visible to the user?
Yes that is correct, the remainder of the RAM is reserved/used by the Android system and i would imagine that some of that is also utilised by the GPU.
Your total ram usage should only show 400 Mb, but because of the modified kernel hack, you get the extra 8 Mb

atleast 64mb of ram is dedicated to the the gpu, the rest is reserved for system like the chap above pointed out

Advanced task killer

Hello Guys is it good to use Advanced task killer on stock rooted rom XXLMI? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Thanks

I use it for killing unused apps freeing my RAM.
Especially the One Button Task Kill is a good thing that comes with it.
It doesn't kill your Launcher, but then if you're dependant on music using DSPManager its a good idea to exclude DSPManager in the list.
A very handy app and its my first choice task killer.
i did used that app for awhile but not quite satisfied with it since after i click the clear memory button the running program that hv been cleared will run again after sometime.so its hard for me when i played games(mayb i didnt know how to use it correctly.lol) a lil out of topic,if i may sugget mayb u can try autokiller memory optimizer apps since it also come with some tweaks, and it has a setting configuring how many hidden apps,empty app can be run.it also hv the same one clik memory reclaim.im still using it till now.
Thanks guys

how to have more RAM free space ?

how to control running background app to free more RAM on my Arc ?
i used task killer, but apps return to open again and used Autostart to limit the starting apps with system starting, but RAM is consumed by the apps running in the background.
lagging is the meaning of my ARC now.
it's very very annoying .. any help here ?!
Rom : Xperia Ultimate HD™ 2.0.3
kernel : LuPuSv9
the free RAM range always bet. 40 ~ 130
Seems normal for me. I had to disable apps i didn't really use that were using any ram =/
maybe try this script? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928200
Go to settings - programs - all
Tap the ones you dont need and disable
Task killers waste more energy and make your phone even more laggy because you keep clearing processes from the RAM. I could explain all that but it'd take some time which I dont have now -
So I'll just say that free RAM is wasted RAM. Task killers are stupid, something else is causing the lag.

the script didn't work with me, it stopped the system.UI
i installed the apps that i use, so which apps can i remove from the system safely.

OK. i feel the lag obviously when closing recently using apps.
it may take more time in opening an app after recently closing another One.

Hello
You can clear ram by using task manager but this is not a bug problem
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
I know it isn't a bug problem becouse in stock rom there was too but i think is a System problem... becouse i use just 100 150 mb ram not 280

If your phone didn't have some bug or lag, that mean it's normal.

Zenfone 2 ZE551ML using too much RAM.

I have the 4gb version and it always uses about 1.5-2 gb RAM (30-50%) even after cleaning. Isnt it too much? I have disabled every app in autostart manager. Please help!

Seems about consistent with what I get. Try using Greenify or freezing apps with ti backup.

Its not the problem with ur device only. Zen UI is poorly optimized in terms of ram management. My zf2 ze551ml(2gb version) constantly uses 1.5-1.7 gb. Hope cm or custom rom may address this issue. Also this isn't some hardware problem.
