is there a way to increase ram?? how to over clock wildfire s??
You can overclock Wildfire S up to 806 Mhz with Alquez's CyanogenMod 7
cm7 port is not fullly developed i wud lik 2 w8 for it 2 fully develop...i just installed JikantaruROM XE yest...can i over clock in JikantaruROM XE??? what about ram?
Can't increase RAM, and CM7 is 99% fully developed only thing left is camera flash.
512MB RAM is good, no reason to expand it by swap or something else.
tat 1% is oly important 2 me...hope it is fixed soon....512 ram in tat 250 is always occupied
are you talking about RAM or system flash memory? both start at 512mb but both go down quite a lot. RAM ends up about 300 before boot and about 200 after everything's running. System memory goes down to about 70 with stock ROM and about 120 with a cleaned out ROM, but drops by about 40mb just from syncing contacts and gmail, etc.
data2sd or another similar app let's you have up to 2gb of system flash memory. Remember these are completely different from RAM. you can't really increase the ram.
The only way to 'expand' your ram would be a swap partition on your sd, but this isn't the best way, because it's damn slow and should only be used as fallback within alert situations. I also don't know if sense roms support it.
Swyped from my HTC Desire S
What obvious reasons to use swap in this device? Which app consumes whole system memory? Any ROM with plenty widgets fired on gives 200MB free ...
im talking about the RAM...200 is always occupied...250 is free after killing all the unwanted apps

Hi,
i have used sevaral ROM, with difrent storage mods and all different roms have difrent size of free RAM - (after app killing), all betwen 200 - 260, now i use a data++ rom and i have only ~200ram avilable and 95% of apps are on SDcard, my prewios rom was a D2SD and it had ~250 RAM free after killing.
From what depends on how much free RAM your ROM have?
It depends on the apps and services running in the background.
Sure, but in both roms i killed all runig apps with task killer and end up proces under Running services, i only left (obex, touch input and killer service), but the result was different in different roms.. (250 vs 200 free), whats the reason for the difference?

How much space did you have on both ROMS after the first initial boot?
By their nature, Data++ ROMS require modifying the system partition to allow for more internal memory (so you are relatively limited in how much you can assign- upto about 330MB using the Oxygen Hboot table), whereas DataSD ROM's available space is largely determined by how much space you allocate on your SD card to it (anything upto 1.5GB with some ROMs).
Generally you will have less internal memory available on a Data++ ROM than a Data2SD. But on the Data++, performance is far better than D2SD.
I dont know the space after the first boot, but the internal memory in the data++ rom is larger because of the costom MTD, than the stock MTD.
But i still dont understand what depends on the RAM mamery size avilable after killing and stooped process?
For exemple:
AraxTsenseHD had ~250 free memory after killing
RCMIX HD data ++ has ~200 free memory a. k.
LeDroid had about ~200 free and also RCMX S had ~200 free
Depends the free ram on the setings of each ROM or what makes the difference?
It depends on the services running and the ram needed by the system.

Is it possible? i beieve the personal data partition which is 127 Mb takes place in the physical ram and it causes that we have only 300 and something Mb of ram for users.. since it s mostly taken by android apps users have about 120-150 mb of ram.. even galaxy tab with froyo has 444Mb.. so i thoght that 127 Mb part could maybe be created in sd card instead of ram.. it would be slower of course but with ext4 convertion this slowness could be ignored with the huge amount of free ram in my guess..
so is there a way to do that? or is there any unlogical part? because i really want to know why i cant use my whole ram for user (after switching to touchwiz 4and filling the screens with widgets the phone got really slower with freezes some times.. so it made me think about that)
Sounds like an awesome idea if someone knows how to pull it off

There is no personal data partition in RAM.
What you see in missing RAM is what is reserved for the kernel. He needs RAM to manage the system. And some RAM is reserved for special purpose (by device drivers), like video recording etc. That is why you see only 330 MB as maximum free RAM.
it might not be a perfect idea because the sd card partitition is so slower than RAM .. so moving dbdata (personel data) to there would slow it down ..
but i have just looked at a samsung galaxy tab again and realised it has 489 Mb of user avaiable memory out of 512 MB (with the turkcell turkish rom).. so it made me wonder what that 127 Mb part which exists in galaxy s but does not in galaxy tab is.. because i have read that personal data makes the device make/recieve calls and mesages.. i dont think so because galaxy tab also can do that without sacrofising 160-170 Mb of memory..
thanks for the asnwer.. so what exactly is inside of this missing RAM part? as far as i know to record video it needs the cache memory.. its something like 30 Mb.. thats ok.. and samsung galaxy tab is also missing nearly that amount.. but this 160 Mb is too much for only a kernel i guess? kernels are like 6 mb..
and why galaxy tab does not need to sacrofise such amount of memory? because they share the same ram, CPU and GPU.. so pysically they are same but why are their structures different..
I believe the Tab has actually more physical memory available than the SGS. If I remember correctly it actually has more than 512mb of ram and so the available ram is higher than in the SGS. Its possible they didn't advertise it because it would simply make it look like they made something wrong with the SGS architecture or advertisement.
i never thought it like that.. maybe..
but in every source i can find it says both have 512 Mb of memory.. so if samsung is not lying (i guess if they did someoe would find it out and spread the news) galaxy s has a software disadvantage.. besides we all know some kernels are expanding the memory from a few Mbs to 10Mb.. maybe there is a way to exapnd it even more without harming the working of the phone..
or maybe there is a way to make an entire new software and partitition structure (which reminds me of cyanogen mod, how much memory it gives to the user?) ..
i found this ;
"the samsung rom uses a ram disk for the os. that's not necessary. putting the OS on "disk" will free up a lot of ram. "
so i believe this software related situaton could be fixed (at least some of the ram could be saved) ?
I think there's a reason samsung didn't put the OS on the "disk".
Ram is lots faster than the internal SD card, so I think it would only slow the device down.
My little brother has a HTC Sensation, which has ~750MB of ram, but only 5xx is usable.
So i think it wouldn't be possible to have that much free ram...
i have checked.. in HTCs web page it says HTC Sensation has 768Mb of ram .. and samsung says both galaxy s and galaxy tab have 512 Mb of ram..
i assume everyone is saying the amount of the ram including the shared parts..
and i assume they all create their roms and kernels based on google sources..
so what is the reason of the difference between the ram amounts of galaxy s and galaxy tab? kernel needings can not be so much different.. they have lots of things in common...
i came back to stock rom (odexed) with stock UI and filled the screen with as much as widgets i could... then i tried everything to get it frozen but i couldnt even slow it down...
for the first time i felt like some hardware in my galaxy s was not enough after i installed touchwiz 4 with other sgsII apps (like e-mail, weather widget etc..) .. and i could not believe a UI could cause lagging (even freezing) ..
then i realised that galaxy tab had much more available ram.. i am still kind of obssessed about this and really wonder if this is possible..

Like I said before, the Tab has actually 640mb of physical ram, more than the 512mb on the SGS. I'm guessing there really is nothing more we can do right now. Read up on the link I posted. If you want you can also read the whole thread that post comes from. There is lots of Dev talk on the subject.
i read all of them.. and it encouraged me to write and e-mail to samsung.. every source i can find says both deviced have 512 mb of ram.. (please nobady say samsung does not have to tell how much of the ram will be available for users, its like announcing an 1ghz cpu with a software which only forces it to work at 800Mhz) ..
I have freezed the unuseful apps and im usin startup auditor, Why my ram is still too high? What can i do? Please help
Try Supercharger or [email protected]'s scripts. The threads are just a few blocks down.
Well v6 isnt effecting too, i used build prop. i wanna use local prop. its effective.
I use auto memory manager and my ram stays between 90 to 120 without any special scripts!! Try it and tell me if it wrks

Not ram manager pro ??
IMO having less ram is not a good idea in android device. android device has different ram management. when an app is started, it will be stored in ram's cache to make it started faster when it started again. when the ram is almost full, it will automatically delete ram's cache and stop some some app. in this way, android devices will have better performance and battery saving. its almost useless to clear ram except in some cases when we need a huge ram space to run a big program.

I dont understand you. When i clear ram its 80+ but now its 130+
Kurotsugi post is cent percent correct.
You shouldn't run after cleaning your ram
I'm having 220+ ram for average use. my zenonia 4 is running smoothly and never got a problem with any app. as I've said, android device will store recently used app in its ram cache. thats why the ram usage will raise rigth after you clear your ram and start to use some app. this is normal and won't affect in your device's performance much. I thought our ram setting is balanced between running app, background app, and system app. you can change the setting with ram manager pro or minfree to have more space for running app and background app.
Exactly! So much of fuss about RAM. My RAM consumption is always 240+, even after a reboot. Never had any problems.
Woah 240+?? what u are using?
dont forget,only used ram is good ram in linux(android is linux).greeeeetz

240 is my minimum RAM usage. Well, Go Launcher, Go SMS, Go Notification, Go Locker and AI Type Keyboard are always running in the background. xP
Try [email protected] scripts
Try [email protected] battery and RAM Saver , Im using it and my ram is just consuming about 132 - 109
Im supercharged. It'l conflict.
more RAM = more battery consumption ?
more ram doesn't always mean your device will consume more battery. yes, its true that our device use more battery power to start up the program, write the onto the ram and run them. nevertheless, linux have unique method to save more battery. after a program is minimized, the program is not erased from the ram. it will be stored in ram's cache. in this way, our device could start the program without write the program onto the ram again. this method will avoid to repeatedly write and erase the program on the ram which consume a lot of battery power. this is also the reason why most android program doesn't have exit option.
owwww , thanx , i hav a bad habit of clearing ram every now and then , even if it is at 130 or 150 ..
m not gona clear it now unless system be lagging
that's normal if you have 160 ram that's the lowest ram that i've reach in my galaxy y even i press the clear memory its still 160 or below... if you feel that your galaxy y is lagging why you dont want to try Andrenaline Engine that imbawin made even if you reach 200+ ram it still fast even your ram are 60MB left
Hi all. After flashing TrueAncestor 1.6 LE, I had about 330-340 total available ram (free + used by running apps). This was a long time ago, but still is like this if I reflash it.
The issue is on my running apps tab it shows only about 240 mb total available RAM! When I restore the backup, that is. I don't really know how or when it happened. Maybe it's due to installed apps, but I can't really find out how is that possible.
Edit: I found out via advanced restore that the problem lies in the data backup, but I can't figure it out.
ram or internal memory btw?
Try run sme RAM killer app, like GTA Vicecity ... then exit game a check free RAM ...
BTW - on my Xperia S (1GB RAM) i have frree only 250MB and no problem at all..
ram. it's not that i have a problem, it's that 100 mb of ram somehow disappeared. i flashed another rom and i'm doing an app-by-app restore with titanium backup to avoid restoring whatever caused me that issue...
It is because of the app, also maybe the kernel n the rom u used, i used turbo kernerl jb+ jellyzeus rom, superb fast, no lag at all, smooth when play games, although i got 100mb out of 377mb,

Check the CosmicDan's sig "free ram is wasted ram" when apps will need ram they will just free it by themselves. I'm having max 180-140 ram in daily use which isn't much and everything works fine. Either way 330 mb of free ram - WTF? Yeah it's caused by apps. Many apps are running in the background or just idling. It may be that rom itself does something which will eat some ram to make itself smooth and then free it up when needed.
Short version - it's okay, don't worry.

mmh... seems like i've not explained the problem well enough. I know free ram is wasted ram. I'm talking about the total ram. By total available ram I mean free ram + ram used by processes you can see in the "running apps" tab. The 330+ mb of *total* ram is what one should have with this phone. I had only 236 mb. I did a reflashing restoring app by app, and now I have like 300-310 mb of total ram. That's still kinda disappointing since I don't know how is that. Out of the 512 mb installed, system processes which are unseen by the "running apps" tab in settings take some, and that's okay, but to have 236 mb total means there was some other invisible process that was either disguising itself as a system process or letting the phone believe it only had that much total ram.
You should used custom rom n kernel, some stock rom isnt that great,
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
there are many users with stock rom and kernel which get 360+ mb of total ram, your answer is not helping that much. Also because i'm not using stock rom lol.
No, i mean sometimes u need to flash stockrom to get corect baseband n then install the rom, it just to avoid any prob after,
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
well, i found out that it doesn't depend on the rom anyway. When I link the phone to the pc and the sd unmounts, it all gets right, the total ram is what it should be, but just for the first moments, then the total ram is cut down by a lot but i think it's normal. When i take the phone out it regains all the ram, but when the sd mounts again, something like 40 mb of ram disappear just like that.
sorry for double posting, but I realized other things:
actually, the ram programs like setcpu and quadrant is the correct 367 mb.
Unmounting the sd card eliminates the problem as long as the sd remains unmounted; mounting immediately brings it back. Messing with dalvik vm heapsize does nothing, engine flushing with supercharger does almost nothing. I absolutely don't know what to do. Even my older screenshots from when I didn't flash anything has like 330-335 mb total ram, instead of the 345-355 it should be. Now it's about 305-310. More than 55 mb are not reported by running apps and this affects gaming, as ram heavy games like 9th dawn, everland crash and aralon + gamekeyboard can't stay in background together if the graphics options in aralon are maxed out.
If it still persist u should try uses swapper. Great way increasing ram,

I am too facing this issue, after booting I have like 340 mb of total RAM(100MB in use and 240mb free) but after using phone for quite a while the total ram decreases a lot(110mb free and 100mb) in use, where is rest of the ram?? how to recover it?
U just cannot recover the ram. U should better try the new rom. Try atomic gb rom. It fastest and stable. And u should not get to furious about ram. Just see the phone lagging or not.

Well, i have 380 total ram. Flash turbokernel 3.1 and then any JB rom and then you should have the same amount of ram that i do.

Hi there,
I have the ZF2 with 4GB of ram. After a couple of days of usage, it seems impossible to lower the ram usage below 1.8GB even when I clear the cache of all apps.
However, when I restart the device, my ram usage is below 1GB.
I have uninstall or disabled every app I could without rooting. & I don't want to root now.
Nonetheless, I would like to keep the ram usage of my device as low as possible (2GB of ram use seems a lot to me, especially when I have one or two apps open)
Did you find a tricks or ways to keep 2gb or more ram free at all time ?
Thank you.
Simply, there is no clear way and those numbers are normal. The best memory management is with native linux, not yet available on zenfone 2.
What's the point of always having 2gb of free ram? RAM is completely useless if you aren't using it.

It's not a question of useful or useless. It's a question of is it possible and if yes, how.
Yes, keep the phone in deep sleep with all apps closed and disable everything in autostart , better yet, you can just power off the device
p.s: not even custom roms will run that low, I had cm12.1 with lg g3 3gb ram, I disabled basically everything and phone will still boot with at max 2gb free ram, maybe 2.2gb if you start killing launcher and sytem apps lol
4Gb ram with 2.2-3Gb free Ram is plenty for a cellphone. Its even plenty for a desktop unless you run hard core 3d games like crysis.
The lowest I have seen is 150Mb/1Gb usage with Nexus 7 v1 tablet yet it was hell slow. Note that the more Ram you have, the more the system will use it and cache in it. This will increase apps loading speed since they are directly loaded from Ram vs local storage.
I would love to have an app that lets you select what to cache in Ram, e.g. large high-resolution PDFs that take forever to open and load :crying: I have 300-800Mb PDFs that will take 1 min just to open.
Indeed, an option to decide what to cache would be great.
Can we expect less usage and caching with the 5.1 update or with a custom Rom?
