[Q] How can I free some RAM on ICS - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have recently installed the markpython ICS rom and a noticed a problem.
After installed a few programs, but when I see the free RAM, i notice that the free RAM is to low.
I want to know if there's some way that I can free memory in my Xperia Play or if I can put some swap space or some kind of optimization to give some more RAM to programs works.
Sorry for bad english

Try supercharger or something like that or even better would be to just avoid ics all together. That os is just a memory hog and the xplay really isn't up to the task

Thanks,
I will try the SuperCharger V6.
I don't really want back to Gingerbread becouse I liked it. It have some functions and the memory consumption is not so high than my last full stock instalation with all sony trashes.
If the SuperCharger can reorganize my apps, all my problems will be solved.
Sorry for my bad english.

I will recommend to keep using GB, ICS is really slow, if it is not slow some applications crashes. Depending of the rom you are getting there is also a post where they fixed the circle button for some games like emulators.

I am on cm9 and usually have about 110 ram free at all times until I start opening apps. How much do you normally? If lower than 70 start freezing some stuff. I like ice features too much to go back to GB

If you are on a cm9 based rom try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863432
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
Lol'd. So you like gaming and you use ICS. Worst thing that you can do. Less ferfomance, no support from dev, no touchpad support for some games.
Srsly, go GB & use True Ancestor.

ICS has a low performance for gaming, remain on GB, I use Xperia NXT
Yep, GB is the way to go, i use Gin2Jelly.
Not if u using the right tweaks and mods

Speed up games in ics

Hello. I unlocked my bootloader to use ics on my play, but games like cod nazi zombies and Nova 3 ect run super slow and choppy. Is there anyway to speed them up to full speed? Thanks.

Not possible. ICS will always lag on certain game titles till the point they are unplayable.
I think differently. When I removed some of AOKP stuff I didn't use, it gave me the extra space and speed. It somehow gained much needed ram. I guess some of the apps I removed ran in background more than I thought. The only problem I have is mupen64plus. It always closes on me. Still can't figure that one out.

You should tell us what rom and kernel are you using. However, check my signature, it may give you some ideas.

You could try flashing a Neo L baseband, i haven't tried it myself but heard that people get better performance with it on ICS

[Q] Starting to get buggy

Ok, Ive had my xperia play for nearly a year. I have to say its been a good phone and a good gaming tool. But nowdays, whenever I try to play heavy 3D games (e.g. zombiewood, indestructible by gameloft, batman, etc) it starts to lag and freeze so much. so much that I just uninstall the game and forget about it and let that empty feeling eat me up....
Anyways, I think the problem is either: the RAM efficiency or the ROM itself. I am on doomkernal (the latest one) and on the JokaWildv3 ROM. I have RAM manager installed and it usually tells me that I have approx 130-70mb free (this is not internal memory btw). I try to overclock my phone to 1.4GHz but it still lags/crashes when I play. I also think that some apps (e.g. facebook app, google play etc) have a part to play in the RAM since I close them yet, they are still running in the background. Im also considering changing ROM since tbh, I preferred the stock 2.3.4 ROM...
Anyways, what do you guys think is the problem on my phone?
EDIT = Had a look through the ROMs and im thinking to eithier go back to stock 2.3.4 or go with DiXperia 2... anyone had any lags/crashes while playing heavy 3d games with these ROMs?
I use Gin2JB and it's great. My games are quite smooth.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
would the heavy 3d games be smooth? And is there a way where I can keep my RAM being used efficiently ?
I can play NOVA 3 quite smoothly if thats what you mean?
You could also try RAM manager
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I guess u can play fully 3d games like batman, dead trigger with no lags then.
I do have ram manger and I do get about 180mb free but that really doesnt last long..
I can play wild blood with minimal lag last i checked. Batman doesn't run the best but apparently moving it to internal storage helps. I'm not sure how dead trigger runs. Gin2JB is a good ROM and i'm happy with it. Perhaps you could try V6 supercharger? I'm not a big fan but others have liked it. I like it for the die hard launcher.

have you used any roms other than gin2jb?
Nope. Only stock

[Q] Why all rom jb...

have more than 700 mb of ram busy???? anyone write me a sense rom or desense with less ram?
That's not how linux memory management works. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
If you never run out of ram you have no problem.

you can also use superchager and you get nearly 150-200 mb free ram back ...and your phone is then faster also for gaming and better battery life...just search supercharger script might be also in hamdir's thread also or in mwilkys gaming boost app thread in the themes and apps section and yes i will REALLY help

really working trick for hard gaming :D

i found a method to play very well all the game you must to install THIS task killer and active all the root killing option and when you clean the ram you have more than 200mb of ram and the app not restart(i add to excluded list the launcher and swiftkey beacuse when he kill swiftkey then i must select again because the stock keyboard is active) (after play restart the phone for normal use) sms and call work normally when you play super fluid ....i try on CM9, CM10,CM10.1 with :
asphalt 7
real racing 3
subway surf
temple run 2
cm9 is clean with no script ecc ecc
i install a fast reboot program to reboot fastly when i finish to play
NOW YOU CAN FINALLY PLAY WELL!!! :laugh:
UPDATE
i add screen to see my setup.....
i try on CM10, CM10.1 and CM9 and i see better performance and more free ram on CM9 but i can play well on CM10, CM10.1 too
If you you want the apk......
Download apk here --> http://www.mediafire.com/?dgn20btes32xykz
Enjoy

Maybe it causes of RAM factor, I play rr3 on fresh rc6 really fresh without 3rd party apps. And I got rr3 run smoothly and not freezing.
But, I can't live with no apps on my ROM

if the problem is shortage in ram, the real solution is to create swap.
task killers can only clear as much ram there is in the device.
games like real racing 3 and contract killer 2 need more ram than what our Wonder have.
by creating swap at least 256mb, ram is extended so these games do not fc no more.

Need to buy microSD class 10 for best performance for creating swap.
Try this later when I have it.

you can also use your internal sd for it if you have space left, i've tried 128mb and contract killer 2 works just fine

Yes, I have do it. I use ram manager pro to create swap file., but I scared it can degrade my sd card life.,

UPDATE first post with setup screen
this really works .Thanks
But i cant free soo much memory ^....Even though i use hadidj's kernel (which has 376 mb of ram) I can get only 160-170 mb free. And i kill the swift key too , I excluding the phone.. I would like to free 200mb like you or more on this kernel hehe
It is much better to play subway surfers. Only very rare small lags ^^
R: really working trick for hard gaming
I use stock kernel and I wait to try a hady kernel to try with more ram yes often a small lag persist e rarely the app restart again but I think because I kill first to wait for the super user gain of the program
