I don't think this is a problem but I would like to know if there is a way I can keep the used RAM on my One X below the 700 mark without having to use the task manager to close apps. Even when I have closed all apps and nothing is open I still have 600mb used. I'm running latest version of viperX and it runs perfectly.
If there is a way I can clear some memory I would appreciate the help thanks

Welcome to Linux. Free RAM is wasted RAM.

Hye guys,
Got a question is there any way possible to free up some system allocated ram for using intens apps (or for running ubuntu). I know it was possible on certain devices but havent really seen anything for a sense rom.
I'm currently running the mytouch rom. It's very fast for a sense rom. Unbelieveble fast even. Its just you can notice that sense requires so much more ram than say CM7 without sense.
I want to keep all the sense features, but just free up some ram.
Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers
Use a ram cleaner script. It deletes lots of system data to free up more ram on ur phone. Heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16244178&postcount=2184

Hi every one. how could i turn the ram to original space. means 512mb?
My phone is rooted.
Is there anyway to do it?
No...the only usable ram is only 368mb the rest is the the system etc camera,gpu and more...

I'm not sure,but its impossible to get 512mb ram...most I can get is 220mb free ram =\

You can't get more RAM than 330MB or so, the rest is for the radio and possibly other system stuff. Why is it a problem though ? Typically (running 2.3 at least) there should be lots of free RAM.

I saw 512+ before as total ram

That's very interesting because I saw 512MB too but now I have 368MB. Don't remeber when was it probably before rooting and flashing. Is this correct that task manager reports only 368MB as total memory?
Now I have Virtuous Affinity 2.05 and HBOOT from virtuous page. Is this could be the reason?
I always get around 250mb ram rarely 310mb :O
If its the value in About Phone - Hardware Info, i think that can be set to show anything you want in the build.prop file. The most accurate method to check RAM value and free RAM is using "free" in Terminal Emulator.
As discussed, the 512MB is shared between the phone, radio and graphics
Guys.... I love multitasking and love memory available so ...
I was looking into ram manager app and suddenly came over this app named SWAPit.. It's supposed to expand ram by making a swap file. Any opinions? Or other suggestions?

Did you dowload it??
Maybe you could give opinions so we all can learn...and not download if it's ****e
Since setcpu and juice defender fall into placebo apps category, me thinks this falls into the same category as solar charger.

how to use it

I don't think this will improve performance. Usual Linux based OS use a swap partition. You can use one in Android too, but no devs recommends it. So i think devs don't recommend to use swap, because it doesn't improve performance.
Yes, swap partition will "extend" the RAM but the truth is Android has its own mechanim to manage apps, so if you're low on RAM, instead of killing an old app you'll slow your system as it will use the swap partition (or file) which is much slower than RAM.
So, let Android do its job !
I will give it a try and report back.

Does exiting apps via the task manager free phone memory?
If not, is it recommended to install an app that accomplishes this?

You can use the built in task manager to kill problem apps and to free phone memory. DO NOT download any other task manager or app killer from the market. They mess with the OS, decrease battery life and will cause your phone to become unstable.
Besides, the OneX has plenty of memory. Unless you are a hardcore gamer there is no real reason why you would need to free up more memory.
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks, bro!

Searched forum to no avail.
Running Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1 on Three UK handset.
Started a few weeks ago, when using Flipboard app, that Sense crashed when closing app. Now it is happening again all apps, Internet, in fact everything.
I had this issue on 1.28 or 1.29, but update fixed it. Now it's back. Be a great help if somebody could shed some light on this.
Thanks.

I am getting the same sort of problems although it isn't crashing all the time. Also on Three UK, standard stock and unrooted 1.29 Do you have lots of apps installed and have very little internal storage free as I think this is causing my problems? I have lots of problems with insufficient memory when trying to install or update apps. I used app2sd to move apps to phone storage but I seem to still always have very little free internal memory but 13gb free on phone storage.
I want to do a complete factory wipe and reinstall / setup apps to see if it resolves it but I think I will wait for JB before doing this due to the hassle and time it will take me.
Thanks

Loads of apps. 8gb Internal left. 1gb other. Done a wipe/reflash. No different.
Can't work out why it's happening. It's the latest in a list. Cannot see myself touching HTC again. My Desire was almost faultless. The One X is great, but only when it fancies. Shame.

next time buy HTC, not branded
You have many running apps and this causes Android to start killing apps when it needs more memory. I guess it's the carrier bloatware. It has nothing to do with Sense "crashing". Try to identify which apps are not needed and disable them if possible.

Completely agree, brands are ****... Cause of the CID, very late upgrades and these sort of problems
