Can someone tell what is the exact RAM that we get on S3. I have noticed that it was 1.65 GB (when I first took notice) but now it is 1.56 GB.
I am rooted and running official JB Stock.
Please reply guys,it's giving me sleepless nights.
Thanks in advance.
Wowwwww search. It's 156.

I did search but my doubt is, it was 1.65 before then it got reduced to 1.56? Is it normal or anyone else noticed this ?
And also was it only 1.56 from start i.e out of box.
Its 1.62 GB on mine running ICS

mine is 1.56 on JB. This is the reason of my dilemma and posting a new thread.
Update to JB man..it's superb
I also have 1.62
My suspicion is that the os reserves a little more RAM in jb than ics...0.44 of 2gb reserved in jb vs 0.38 of 2gb reserved in ics. It's just different allocation, the physical amount can't change.

moto thanks a lot man! :good:
now i can sleep in peace..a friend of mine told me that rooting decreases RAM although I have rooted my Galaxy S and used it for 2 years i never noticed this but when he mentioned I noticed that the RAM amount was less (1.65 gb compared to 2 gb I didnt know about this ram allocation % )and even more shocker was it decreased after I upgraded

hahaha, wow. no. you are fine bud no worries
Jb requires more ram then ics. That's why you see less with jb then ics.

Other hardware posts need ram too. That 300-400 MB is used by GPU and stuff. That 600 MB you see is what cpu uses.

Search term: "ram"
I'm obviously not a 'dev' but is there any reason that the software that makes up GB compared to ICS allows the battery to last waaaaay longer, I am in the middle of the unbricking/rooting process and just playing around on the GB for a day and I noticed this? While on ICS it would be at 70% after just 2-3hrs or sometimes less % so what in your opinions allows for this and is there anything from GB software that can be used in unison with ICS or JB ROMs to allow for better battery life, maybe this makes no sense and it obviously doesn't for me either just wanted to ask this?
Thanks
I used to run the CM9 and CM10 builds, as well as the carrier ICS. I can tell you that my phone is more stable, and the battery seems to last longer under GB. Everything I need works in GB.. So until there is a version of android that doesn't crash my phone I will stick with GB.

Its odd hey and I only wish that some devs could work out why, maybe than some how work it into the ROMs so we don't have issues such as ICS?
The reason is simple in ics it fully utelize the processor thus using more power.

All I can tell you is this. When I first got my phone in May it came with GB, I would only get four hours before needing a recharge. Very upset about this I did research and found I was not alone, this is actually how I found XDA So I purchased an extended life battery and finally could go all day on a charge. Then I got brave and went through the unbrick process (because I was dumb and upgraded to v10j). As soon as I started running cm my battery life doubled, then after official came out I found it equally impressive with battery life especially after disabling fast dormancy. However I would be willing to try GB out again for a few days to see how my battery life is and in comparison.

UPDATE: Well I messed up when I was pushing the gb images over and BORKED my phone lol. Oh well I should have a replacement by the end of the week.
JB is little better than ICS.
Therefore GB > JB > ICS on my opinion.

That means ICS consume more? I found my phone always get random reboot and battery drains on cm9. I think i will back up everything and move back to gb and give a try again.

I would try one of the stocks, v20f or liquid nitro. They will give you better battery life than GB, cm9, cm10. After all this FUD above I put GB on my phone for a couple of days and couldn't even make it through the day. Screen on power is MUCH higher on GB and that is why. This is also what I experienced when I first for my phone in May.

Guys I don't think you guys should be worrying about ram usage. Unless your phone is noticeably slow because of low ram usage, you won't gain any benefits from lowering your ram usage.

Unless the process that is taking up the ram is actively running in the background, then yes.
Otherwise, inactive ram takes up the same amount of power as active ram.
Clearing your memory isn't a very good idea. Unless the program that clears your memory is specific on what type of process it ends, the system would just have to load up that process you just ended which also results in higher CPU usage, and a slower system.
If you are worried about your battery life, check to see what process is actively running in your background and end any that you don't need as these are just taking up your CPU time.
Correct me if I'm wrong haha.

You aren't. Watch what you ram does after you clear it out, it builds back up which is causing the CPUs to work, when before (if they were inactive) would just sit their doing no harm. It causes the CPUs to work to bring things back to light instead of just recovering what was covered (so to say) there about 100 threads on this for each phone and even more through out the world of RAM management.

Has someone made a GB ROM for the gnex? I bet it would be wicked fast and smooth compared to other ROMs with higher Android versions. Is there anything that holds it back from getting GB?

No, Even with its bugs, Kit Kat is much more optimized.
There are probably no drivers for it anyway.
You are not the first one to ask this question. Short answer: no.
Long answer: as of now there exists no known build of GB for gnex from anyone, since there is no blob and driver available from Samsung and TI to build GB on gnex. It will run fast, but not that much comparing to newer Android builds because of the lack of optimization at that time.
Don't forget the fact that 4.1.2 was probably the fastest for the GNexus, then again there's a ton load of optimizations that are needed to be done, then a massive downgrade to the camera drivers and chipset. Besides it would be a waste of time as there are a lot of restrictions and limitations. App support goes down the drain as well, you can kiss goodbye to all those fancy animations or superbly optimized launchers like Nova.
Also the only reason it will be fast is because of the scaling option is really low res compared to Jellybean/ICS.
I'm not sure if you really thought this through but it makes absolutely no sense to do so. It's like buying an i7 with 16GB RAM and high end graphics card... And then you install Windows 95.

You mean Windows XP? Because GB is the windows copy of Android and I'll deal with xp, I like it more than windows 7 &/or 8. But I see what your saying.

Your understanding about the OS is miss leading..
GB is probably 'heavier' on any Android phone due to worst memory management compared to ICS and JB (also depends on the hardware).
For example, my dad's Galaxy Ace 2 running smoother on JB 4.1.2 than on GB. Why? Because JB eat less RAM to run. KitKat supposed to eat lesser. Meanwhile my brother's Optimus One runs at best on ICS (first came out on Eclair, updated to GB officially), but really slow when it run on JB (the hardware won keep up).
BTW, I agree, JB 4.1.2 was the fastest on GNex.

If only they hadn't picked Omap as its chipset, probably it would live to see another day. A year in and the company closes down. I don't know if they tried to save the company thinking adding it on a Google phone would redeem the company, instead the GNexus was one of those poorly advertised phones, where only people who kept up with the Google trend or xda/root wiki knew about the phone and what it was really intended for.

Hi guys.
I've been using custom roms for an over 4 months. None of them really could have convinced me.
The stock one is perfect with a little free ram and less lag.
For god seek we have here dual core cpu with 1 g ram and unfortunately none of rom in ion section is valid for heavy multitasking.
Come on this mobile makes me :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
