Anyone know why my "RAM" ALWAYS SHOWS UP AS 360MB? Thought the HOV was 512mb DDR2?

yes but the remaining RAm is used for running system processes
so it is completely normail
however if your rooted u can try swap script to increase RAM

What's a swap script? It seems a little weird to show 360mb...... Why not show the 512mb and then what's used? And yeah saying it has 4 gb internal is messed up too. I can only use 967mb. But I have a 16gb card not too big of a deal.

I think first he must ask the rom developer about the swap otherwise the script will run but it wont work like it had with me

your phone is completely fine
ignore the fools
internal memory is 4GB but look at the back of your mobile box
It is stated that: the operating system utilizes some of the phone storage
its kinda hard to read coz its written in very small letters

Internal storage?

I think he's talking about the RAM. Android manages memory different than OS X or Windows. Full is actually good. People are always going overboard with task killers trying to free up RAM. Android will free up RAM as necessary, so you really shouldn't ever have to worry about it. Unlike Windows when it gets full it puts memory into swap on the HDD slowing it down. Android will just quit the app, because you haven't used it in a while.
Just for reference I have 246MB available on CM7 with a fresh boot. After using it a few hours, I generally have about 90MB free on average.
I know there was aa thread in the dev section, but can somebody link me to it? I don't really like Link2SD.

Nope :/ like App2SD and make the internal storage 3GB.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
3 ways
There are few ways to get more space:
1st- move all the apps you can to the SD,
from Settigs->Apps->Apps Admin
2sd- Use and app that let you move your apps
even when the system does not let you.
(you need to be root)
3r- Mount all your apps in a virtual memory
on the SD. This decrease speed and battery but
let you have unlimited space.
(swapper app, need also to be root)

There is absolutely no way to make internal storage get up to 3gb. The method that was posted in the development section doesn't work on R800x. You'll have to use some form of a2sd or link2sd.

I've been curious about this for quite some time now. Our phone has 768mb of total ram space. I've noticed AOSP roms allow 602mb to be used and Sense gives 573mb. Is it possible to substitute system memory for ram enabling more free ram for our device?

Substitute system memory for ram? You mean like a pagefile on windoze? Or just freeing up more ram? Not really following what you mean.

Ok I know "x" amount of ram is required to run a rom. What I wanna know is can any of that be transferred into say the system memory so that instead of having only 573mb of 768mb we could have something like say 625mb of our 768mb? I guess I should of clarified earlier.

Like for example, virtual memory in windows, it uses the hard drive to hold running processes, though it may be slower....it works....sort of lol

Yes like vm in windows. So it wouldn't speed up our phones if this was done? That is what I was trying to accomplish by all of this in the first place. I figured if I was able to make the RAM larger in size overall that would in turn allow bigger apps to run smoother. I know there's a lot more at play like processor speed and kernel but its just a thought

I'm not saying it will run slower, I don't have the knowledge to tell you if it would improve things or not. Just making it easier to understand

Haven't really looked at it, but it depends on whether we use up all the RAM often, and I don't think we do.

My knowledge of linux is very limited, but I think that you are thinking of it too much like Windows. In Windows more free ram means better performance. That is because Windows doesn't kill processes that aren't being used when ram is needed, instead it uses vm to allow the program to run.Android will kill processes that aren't in use if additional ram is needed so vm is not necessary. This means that performance isn't really effected by free ram.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

No worries. I think most people here think the same way because most of us use Windows. I wouldn't have known differently if I hadn't read it previously on here. That's the same reason why task killers are bad.

I'm in love with Linux 2 home computers run it and my laptop duel boots Ubuntu and windows 7. Great combo. Never owned a Mac probably never will. Also haven't messed with cron ( is that right) in Linux/android) but hear good things.

Android puts background processes that arent running in the foreground in cache memory, that way it's not eating up ram like if it was still running but since its in the cache, if you open the program though it will still come up quickly since it is cached, only certain programs that are frequently used are like that though...

Can anyone explain me how we can use swap on buzz since our recoveries dont have that option?
What are the advantages?
Does it really burn sdcard or it is similar to overclocking burns processor chip?
Help is appreciated.

It will degrade your sdcard. Infact i lost a 2 GB sdcard for this.
It does improves performance a bit but i wont rexommend u.

As said above it certainly degrades SD card life.I didnt loose any but mine 8gb class 6 sd card became so slow that copying a 70mb file used to take about 20mins to copy!
So I had to buy a new one,but yes there is a noticeable change in performance using swap.But just to get that bit of performance boost,you might end up being frustrated the other way,so not recommended.
Well i used swap Nothing strange happen with SD card... i used only 256 mb which is more than enough.
I used it with "system control pro" app, as it let you set swapiness, vf cache preasure and drop caches.
If you experiment with those values you can get something good. And also if you dont do it right you will get random reboot 1 times a day, or freeze sometime when it full that swap but does not drop cache... depending how you set it, you can get multitasking improved
If you have time try it. Sure kernel must support swap as you know it alrdy i guess...
Good luck :good:

CoZ u have no worries of sdcard. I lost 2GB card in this, though i was thinking that 2GB is very less and often had storage issue but guess what i lost that 2GB card :crying: and now i'm using 1gb card. So u can imagine, also include a cwm backup in 1 GB + roms.

Hello frnds,
Is there any way to increase the available RAM on our phone, means we have got around 700mb available whereas its actual announced capacity is 1Gb,
In a latest Xperia, Xperia C, being the same 1GB, its showing around 900Mb..!
Don't ask why to bother about 200Mb, because it does matter a lot for me
Thanks in advance.. :good:

Dont do anything like ram expander. That works fine but decreses the life of sd card.

You need to do some reading on RAM. Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
As for why you're "missing" some of it, blame it on Android and the GPU.
