Hi,
My old phone was Sony Xperia Neo V and it had 512MB of RAM, in that I used to run MIUI and I, user was able to use ~320 MB of RAM out of 512MB rest was hidden by OS for it's own use. My current phone is Sony Xperia S which has 1GB of RAM and I can see 636MB for my use. This indicates that Android keep for itlself ~40% of total RAM. I feel reserving 40% of RAM is wastage as I was running the same ICS based MIUI on my previous Xperia Neo V in which Android reserved ~200MB of RAM and it used to work pretty smooth. So, my question is how can I change the % of default RAM reserved by Android so that I can save my 200MB of RAM in my current Xperia S, as I believe 200MB of RAM would be sufficient for smooth running of my Xperia S as it was running in Neo V.
Thanks
Are you running an official/unofficial version of CM?
Settings>Performance>Memory management>Check Allow purging of assets, Kernel same page merging and set zRam to the max percentage. That should free quite a bit of RAM.

I'm running MIUI 2.11.5, I've nowhere seen such an option in it....

If it's based on MIUIAndroid Xperia S ROM (which is stock Sony ICS patched) then chances are that the only way you will get more RAM is using a init.d tweak or RAM manager app to change the RAM management/allocation...
I would suggest supercharging the ROM, search for it

Sorry, that was stupid joke. It is normal that your wifes XS shows only 685 RAM, system takes the rest of 1GB.
GPU - 200mb
hardware - 139mb
user/system -685
There are ways to increase but its realy complicated (pro dev level)

RAM in the roms is not so important. It's multitasking what does the job. Currently im using letema's 4.3 and multitasking is incredible. No lags at all despite (more or less) 670mb of user-availible ram and, belive me, i have many apps installed on my phone. But still im waiting for another version of KitKat from Rayman. People say that (even though there is 620mb user availible ram) it's smooth as hell. So yeah, RAM is not so important. And it's not only me who says that. The devs think the same

there is nothing to hog ram with AOSP and CM
AOSP will allways be more ram - multitask freindly then CM10+
and finaly official GB will allways be the best for multitasking then anything else ever made for our XS
(with a non modded system and no root)
Gingerbread 80mb used/605 free. after heavy use for 3 days)

i agree 100%, what i ment is that ram usage may be more efficient even if there is actually less user-availible RAM
BTW: you were supposed to built your own 4.4 rom, isn't that right? how do the things look like right now?

This will allow you to uninstall existing busybox install, and then install latest bb version.....I think now V 1.20.1
It is an Installer, as Busybox is GNU Public License s/w maintained by Denys Vlasenko....

It makes the phone run faster and smoother by adjusting the Low Memory Killer values. So it keeps a minimum amount of free memory so that the current activity will be smooth and lag free. In my case I've also removed a lot of bloatware(all Samsung hubs,etc) to free up the memory and together with the V6 script my stock ROM runs very smooth. This is the main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
PS: I advise you choose the suggested minfree values using the built in super minfree calculator. These are working nicely for me.

Never used RAM Manager so can't say much about it. The lag will never be 100% gone purely because this is android and it's memory management is designed to work in a way that results in some amount of lag. But I must say it is almost lag free. Very good.

stock ics .587, cleaned by me, +70 apps,
With working Nova launcher, Swype keyboard, fancy widgets, fb + messenger and mail synchro -> 100MB free
Without fb and messenger - about 150MB.
So I don't need more, and I don't get that pointless fight for "free RAM"

AOKP M6 is quite good, it's the most stable 4.x out for Gio.
-Fast, lightweight (120MB free on internal after install)
-Every major function working stable
-Camera working including autofocus and camcorder (with 3rd party camcorder app)
-ROM is crash free with minfree set at least 50MB
-Battery lasts 1 day on heavy usage, 2 day on normal usage
I'm using it almost for a month, after trying at least 20 different GB and 3 other ICS/JB roms since July which all had serious bugs except Enhanced236.
The only problem is GTalk FC, but there are a lot other working 3rd party clients.
I'm using Erickas' CM9 for a week and I didn't change it yet, so it's kinda good rom.
Just once, my status bar disappeared but it came back in a minute.
I deleted some system apps that I don't use, so I freed up some space.
Ram usage is quite high, but hey, it's CM9 on our Gio.

Hi guys:
I bough a Xperia PLAY and got it yesterday. Previously I had a Motorola Milestone CM 7.2.
I really hate all the bloatware sony put on the phone. I have 190 MB RAM (that's a waste of more than half RAM) and 220 MB (almost half internal storage available), so it's a waste of resources.
I need a custom kernel/rom wich gives me
- Speed
- Full control support (touchpads too)
- Max memory
- Max internal space
- Overclocking
- Undervolt
- Camera
- Flash
- Video
- GPS
- Sensors
I try FreeXperia 149 CM9 and I HATE IT, slow, no tethering, no touchpads, circle button problem.
I'm open to suggestions.

I bough R800a because of bands used by 3G in my country, so if I mess with radios probably I will get stuck without 3G.

I'm really enjoying Gamer 4 Rom ICS with doomlord kernel. Plays games great, full touchpad support, video and photo, plus all the ICS goodness. Slight lag. I recommend.
Hey guys i have some problems with games on my current rom (such as clash of clans which is vital for me). I think they are related to ram (always under 100mb free ).
