Dunno for your, but for me it's hell. After boot's over, i have about 100mb of RAM avalaible and as it gets around 40mb, phone gets very laggy (like, call starts 2minutes after pressing call button...)
That happens quickly of course, since most apps use around 20mb (browser much more)... After that, only thing to do is reboot... And that take some time! And it can takesSo is there a way to "improve" that?
What I have started doing in my routine is when I am done using an app instead of just pressing the home button I press the back button until I am all the way out of the app. Also I don't use a task manager anymore since it seemed to hurt my phone more then help.

I'm on doomlord kernel v14 with zRAM activated and Xperia s rom and when I'm not listening to music the ram free is around 200mb if you can I recommend you to flash that Rom doesn't has lot of internal apps and when flashing the firmware it gets a lot of internal memory free
Other would be that you buy ram manager pro from market its a very helpful app when to ram managing is related

U can make swap file/partition if u have enough fast sdcard (i heard that min. is class 4, but more=better). Partition can be created using recovery i think (I never need this). Swap file can be created using a-swapper or Swapper for Root - I've newer used it too

you can flash cm7. in CM free memory about 300 and more mb

What ROM are you running?
When I was running motorola firmware the absolute maximum RAM I could have free was 207MB.
Under CM7 I honestly haven't noticed, because it's never been a problem unlike moto firmware (which would slow to a crawl with anything less than 90MB free).

I've been reading this forum for about a week or so. I was wondering what that "partition" means. I have cm 7.2 but haven't done that.
Other question is that when I use SetCPU to overclock my gio then when I reach to about 900 MHz, my Gio freezes and I have to take out my battery to reboot. It happens always I try to overclock.
If you need more information then ask
P.S. I have Galaxy Gio S5660 CM 7.2 RC-1 Patch 4
Partition is a part wich you can create via an program on computr to crrate a partitioon on your sd card..
Then data and caches can be moved there using root acces and special app..
So you get more internal memory free.
Only thing; it slows down apps because of the cache and data is moved where it isnt normally.
Thats why im not using it any more

You can use Simple2Ext with CM7.2 i am also using it. It will make your internal memory free i managed to get 172mb free from 178mb total.
First you have to make an ext4 partition from the pc by putting the sdcard in the sdcard reader. remember NEVER use the phone or usb cable to make the partition.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cygl0qZnbaM
This video will help you make it and afterwards you can follow the instructions of enabling simple2ext from the CM 7.2 thread.
and you dont have to use SetCPU to overclock. Just go to cyanogenmod settings and then go into performance, there you can set the minimum and maximum speed. Different models of gio can clock sometimes higher sometimes lower.
Well yes I know about cm being able to overclock from settings but the problem is freezing. It freezes even when I overclock from settings. And ty for the material on partition.

Freezing must be because your gio wont support that much overclock, try something lower than that. and welcome you can always press the thanks button

It totally depends upon your needs. If you do need some apps but can't have them because of space issues then sd-ext partition would definitely help you. Otherwise, you don't really need it. I went as high as 107 apps installed and still had 57MB or so free. Also, the slowing down of apps is not noticeable (not talking about games etc.)
You should define your needs first and then proceed. Plus, you can always undo that so no harm in trying.

Nah, he already has CM installed. That must be hardware problem.
From what I read that other users post our Gio vary in hardware part - somebody says their CPU runs smooth at 950 MHz, and somebody says "hey, mine freezes at 845 MHz".
So it's just a matter of experiments that would allow you to find maximum stable frequency (just like in a world of "big computers" - different chips could be OC'ed to different frequency even if they were initially labelled the same)
As for external SD partition... I certainly recommend SD class 6 as minimal to do this (and 10 would be much better). I think internal memory is something around 10 class (that are my observations, no tests neither official publications to back this up).
To find out what SD class is read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
I´m just curious here, how much memory do you have free on your phone?
Mine are 148 MB free ROM and 281 MB free RAM.

You must have a misunderstood concept of free RAM. Actually, the less free RAM you have, the faster your apps get. This free RAM is consumed by cached processes invisible to anything else that is not a system app. You can go to the Free RAM screen, press Menu and select Show Cached Processes to see your true free RAM. The more cached RAM there is, the faster it gets. I remember someone here at these forums actually posted the difference between "free" and free RAM, can't remember though. The Xperia Play can run BOTH of them at the same time, just like an iPhone 4S, especially if you are supercharged.

Yes like vm in windows. So it wouldn't speed up our phones if this was done? That is what I was trying to accomplish by all of this in the first place.

My knowledge of linux is very limited, but I think that you are thinking of it too much like Windows. In Windows more free ram means better performance. That is because Windows doesn't kill processes that aren't being used when ram is needed, instead it uses vm to allow the program to run.Android will kill processes that aren't in use if additional ram is needed so vm is not necessary. This means that performance isn't really effected by free ram.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Android puts background processes that arent running in the foreground in cache memory, that way it's not eating up ram like if it was still running but since its in the cache, if you open the program though it will still come up quickly since it is cached, only certain programs that are frequently used are like that though...
