[Q] Get bigger RAM ?

Is there anyway to make my one v Free RAM space gets bigger ? i always get lags whenever i play temple run after done some activities on my phone. I always need to delete all task with Task Manager so i wont get any lags when playing.
It says that it has 512mb, but in most of use i only have less than 100mb. So isnt it possible to make it bigger ?

Anything is possible after you've rooted your phone and installed custom rom!
If you don't have these, you will probably stress yourself with the amount of free ram. Remember that SENSE is using HUGE ram. Once you've installed a custom rom without sense(Just android 4) you can enjoy playing with your phone because then it will have something like 150mb free

That's such an idiotic advice!!!
You have 100mb free ram all the time and you are COMPLAINING ABOUT IT? How about to have 20 MB FREE ALL THE TIME? THEN WHAT?
You should really stop about complaining ram and read/understand how android/linux works. I am tired to say the same fu%%ing thing over and over again.
Don't use apps from playstore that boosts whatever part of the phone even if it is ram or battery...
Having 100mb free ram on your phone is good for the system.

Eeven I was wondering...
Even I was wondering why will anyone complain about 100MB? So what do you want 512MB of RAM free? :

Free RAM is irrelevant, Android memory management is unlike your desktop computer. It fills the memory with commonly used applications and only clears them out when you need the room for something else. So uninstall Advanced Task Killer, that sort of crap was deemed dumb/harmful years ago.

None of these new guys want to understand how this works.... and they keep opening threads about how small ram they have when viewing the ram from settings, that they have small amount of free ram... pff.... android can work stable even if it has 10 mb free ram. it is not like windows as Passa91 said...
When you play a game that requires alot of resources (512ram lets say), everything gets killed or resides in cached apps and the game runs smooth! When you close the game, the rest of the apps are restored....

Thanks all who reply to my Q.
I just wan a tell you guys im new to android so i dont have much idea about how its worked ok. and i dont had any issue with ram since i couldn't play temple run on my phone. It stuck my phone. then only i looked what is the issue. so i thought thats issue with ram.
Since im new to android from 512 ram its showing 90 -100 as free without running much application. That is why i ask about this.
any way thanks again for reply and i got the answer.

Why only with HTC?
I'm not arguing and I know how Android manages the Memory but still...
Why is this only with HTC? .
I have an Xperia Mini and my friend has Karbonn A9.
ALWAYS Karbonn A9 had more than 210MB of Free RAM and Xperia Mini had 120MB of Free RAM. I never thought like why is my phone having less RAM, etc. etc. but now I realize that it's actually a little sluggish/slow.
When I applied the ICS BOOT Live Wallpaper on all the 3 phones, Karbonn A9 and Xperia Mini could handle it very smoothly at 60FPS (it's a setting for that live wallpaper), but, HTC One V was very slow and sluggish.
Again when I played Raging Thunder 2 Lite on A9 and Xperia Mini, it was very smooth and my One V just couldn't handle it.
Any answers for this??
Is this just because of HTC Sense?

HTC One V, CDMA, running "Unofficial CM10 for PrimoC".
When I go into Settings > About Phone, it shows Memory: 333 MB.
The same exact phone running the stock ROM showed 512 MB.
However, when you add up the used and free numbers in both under Settings > Apps > Running, I get 334 MB on the CM10 rom and 362 MB on the stock ROM. I think there's just confusion about how the memory is being used and what numbers are exactly being displayed.

The memory displayed in settings is retrieved by the build.prop file. That doesn't tell you the total amount of ram the phone has. That's the total amount of ram 'free for user usage'. The rest of it is managed by the system but if you really want to see how much ram you have left on your phone go to Settings - apps and select running. Down there you should see the free ram you have, like in my screenshot below!

Haha.. Still got people using RAM Booster... I always said to my friend using advance task killer is useless... Even him using Note 2 complaining about RAM usage...

Holy crap.
So many threads like this where people spend more time *****ing then actually helping the person.
Shame really, with all the phones being sold on Cybermonday and the recent RS $49 sale this community could be awesome.

The stock ram management and how to change minfree

Hi there. I have read a lot about android ram management, and that free ram is wasted ram. And I agree with that. My question is - why is my stock ics arc killing apps to constantly keep at least 140MB of ram free? The result is that multitasking is pretty much nonexistent on this device.
A follow up question is, how to change this behaviour and stay on stock rom? Minfree apps from play store don't do a thing.
Thanks!

[Q] Lag in Games with NXT 1.3 Rom on Xperia Play

Hello to everyone, i have installed a custom rom for my Xperia Play with Locked Bootloader, the Custom Rom is NXT 1.3 and its performance in games was excellent newly installed, but when i started to install my apps or restore my apps the performance felt. So i thought that was ocurred cause was filling up the internal memory, so I put most of the applications on the SD card and some go to the ROM, but the performance doesn't improve as well, i read and a i have try different things like install Ram Manager Pro to free more RAM in games, to Use Task killer for Tasks in Ejecution and i dont see an considerable change in its performance. So Can i do for play more smooth?
The another thing is the NXT 1.3 have Busybox and support for scripts Init.d but i try to use an option for swap but maybe my stock kernel dont support it and another option for max size aplication's data in Ram Manager Pro ask me for busybox as if i didnt installed it, and i don't know why.
Thank yo
PD: Sorry for my poor English cause my native language is Spanish. XD

you need to overclock your rom.
here is the link for download No-frills CPU Control (i use this one): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wOSwiaXQuc2luZW8uYW5kcm9pZC5ub0ZyaWxsc0NQVSJd
After download that overclock it to: Max - 1,709 Ghz | Min - 249 Mhz | Governor - smartassV2 | I/Oscheduler - sio

i use doomlord kernel.

A Question
But if i have locked bootloader and by that stock kernel i cant to overclock cause i cant change kernel. is there another option for improve the game experience with the NXT 1.3 Rom or another???

I know this might not help but could you tell me how good heavy 3d gaming was when you first installed the ROM. Did you play games like GTA:VC/GTA 3/Modern Combat 3/4 / Batman Dark Knight Rises etc without NO LAG or with minimal lag? Im on dixperia 2 and out of the 3 ROMs ive been on, its provided me with the good performance although it does slightly lag when doing heavy 3d gaming...

Nxt Light 1.3
I was experiencing the same issue. I am using the light version of the custom ROM, and it was blazing fast upon installation. Now that all of my games are installed, it is slightly slower than it was before, not very noticable though. If it helps, before playing a game, I use Es Task Manager to clear up about 200mb of memory so more is available for the games. My bootloader is locked as well. I wish there was a stable ICS on the Xperia Play. The ICS user interface, in my opinion, is much smoother than gingerbread.

Well i played games as Nova 3, Modern Combat 3, Pes 2012, Fifa 12, Asphalt 7 and i felt the rom really smooth but later when i had all my apps restored and time after working with the rom, definitely the was slower than rom newsly installed, now i have lag in all games :S. I have Advance task killer installed and when i'm going to play i free memory with the task killer, i used chainfire with Qualcomm and i free cache memory, but i never have 200 Mb free only when i reboot. Cause the services are restarted and the Ram memory is fill up really fast and i dont know why and what i can do :S

Dont use any task killer!!! This has been discuss throughout XDA in any android dev. All custom rom hav init.d support & they hav thier own set of minfrees'. Using task killer/manager will conflict with all the roms' tweak. Capish!!!

Many task managers are there just to run ads, they can eat up your battery, the programs will try to load in the free ram, it will kill it and over and over.
Install LBE (in my signature), it have the feature to prevent user and system programs from autostarting, although there might be other lighter apps that does this. Leave the ram management to android, just clear the ram before you launch a game.
You could try and watch what programs use up the most ram and see if you can replace it worth lighter apps. Launchers and widgets tends to, especially weather ones. I use holo launcher with light widgets only.

Thank you, can you tell me what apps can i use for improve the gamming experience in XP or maybe boost the XP with NXT rom cause i have almost 20 apps and i have 100 mb free on Internal Memory, the Rom Memory with 35 Mb free, but the RAM fill up fast and i only use the defalult launcher of NXT Rom with Static Theme and a few widgets like Timescape, Photos/Videos, Searchbox and Music. But i feel the rom less smooth than newlsy installed, Thank you for answering!!!

Dont do anything. Just use it as is. If it gets laggy, reboot, wipe cache/dalvik-cache. Solve. Custom rom hav init.d support. That alone is enough to giv u the perf u need. Any other ram management app will only eat ur intrnal mem & ram at the same time. Just find some init.d & build.prop tweak all over XDA. Its impossible to "NOT" find any. Cheerio.

Another question my friend what app can i used for cache/dalvik cache (For no reboot all time XD) and i can't use swapping on Stock Kernel? cause i cant in my XP with NXT ROM with locked bootloader. Thank you!!!

U can use swap if u need'em. As for cache/dalvik-cache, there's an init.d tweak for it. U just gotta find it. I think dixperia 2 hav'em. Did u tried that rom before?? If dont, mybe u should giv it a try. If not try finding them tweaks.

I've tried to install a swapper but when i verify if it is running on memory use the swap space are in 0 like if i didnt install the swapper or if it isn't running, what can i do? The another question is this:
I found a tweaks collection and i want to try that but i dont know if that could generate conflict with the tweaks of the NXT ROM have with it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456777
Somebody said games are better installed in internal memory than SD Card, that is right? by the way what configuration or tweaks or apps you used for games like Nova 3, Asphalt 7 or Street Fighter IV? Thank you for answering!!!!

Remember i have locked bootloader and by that stock kernel :S.

[Q] RAM question

Whenever playing Star Blitz it usually starts out ok then slows down and eventually force closes. I found out that the game ate up so much RAM.
I was thinking of using RAM swapper. Would it be any good?

what i would recommend is to kill all apps before playing the game, have a good cpu profile combo remember unused ram is wasted ram and the android system is built so that if it needs for ram it automatically closes other background programs to accommodate ram usage. swapper on my opinion also degrades sd card life.

I have already closed other apps and have around 200mb free RAM. However after the game crashed I found out that Star Blitz is already occupying 150mb of my RAM. I less than 50mb of free RAM left when the game crashed.
