[Q] how much ram do you have on your arc ???

Mine shows used 198 mb, free 106 mb... Totalling for 304 mb... Am I not supposed to have 512 mb ram ??
Is this defect with my arc or the whole Indian version of arc...
What are you guys getting... Please post so that I can go for replacement...
I would like ti tell you that though my stats show only 300 mb of ram, my arc is in no way slow... I run spb shell 3d and its very smooth...
Seriously need advice...

The Arc has 512MB for RAM, and 320MB for storage.

I believe some of the RAM is reserved for the operating system, and doesnt show up in memory reports. A bit silly IMO.
Similarly, i think the phone actually has 1GB of internal storage, but 320MB is what's left to the user after OS installation.

the ram is same with mine.

335MB RAM for use & apparently the rest of RAM is shared for Video.
There's total of 380MB of ROM

I've got 133MB used and around 165MB free.

138 used, 173 free at the moment.

well, the official site says it has :
Internal phone storage: 1GB (up to 320MB free)
RAM: 512MB
so, my guess is, the android system use up most of the internal storage (~650mb) so we only have ~320mb free.
and the we only get ~350mb ram couse ~150mb is shared with the graphic.

Kernel etc needs RAM to, because of that we have only 343MB RAM for the users. Other phones have 400 or more MB available and they have also 512MB RAM.
I wish we'd have 400MB, too.
My Arc runs for 150 hours now and RAM is down to 40MB free RAM. Which causes launcher redraws when I open big apps

yeah, i wish we'd have 400mb too, is that posible ?
your arc runs 150 hours ?!
how is that possible ?
mine usually last 1 day (heavy use) or 2 days (normal use)..

I think it should be possible with a custom kernel to enable more RAM that's available to the user.
I mean uptime, not battery life

[Q] How can I free some RAM on ICS

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
Sent from my R800a using XDA App

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.

Go to jellybean or try my glazed ICS it has v6 supercharger and some other goodies

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

Aviable ram?

This is my first post and my english is very poor.
Ok, as i can see the maximun amount of free ram that we can get to our plays is arround 250 mb, but my galaxy tab have the same ram (512mb) and i can get more than 300 mb with bloatwere. So anyone knows why?

Their systems are different. Some system takes up more RAM but some don't. I assume your tab can't make calls and sms, so there will be more RAM available than phone.

I think Xperia Play have less than 512MB of RAM. I have seen other Xperia 2011 models with 512MB (Arc S and Neo) and they have more RAM looking at the app manager.
Obtain 250MB of free memory is an epic win in this phone even with the lightest GB rom.

My partner has an Arc S and the ram on her phone is alot worse than my play, I get around 234mb free ram and her arc S gets around 183mb free and both are on Gb stock
Sent from my R800i

I mean, if you sum the used RAM and the free RAM... Xperia Play has less total RAM than an Arc S. Or at least that's what I remember.

And it's possible to "block" some of this features ( via kernel or whatever ) to have more aviable RAM?

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

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.

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

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
