How can I read the amount of free RAM or RAM usage. I can't seem to find this.
Thanks,

Hey guys!
I noticed in the specifications of this phone, it claims to have 0.50gb of RAM (512mb) However all your kernels are around 370 of under?
Is this mistake in the specifications or are you lowering Ram for some strange reason unknown to me?
I'm using liquid smooth build#2 at the moment, but i'm only getting around 99mb free Ram.. I don't know why but it seems the Phone has less Ram then i initially thought.. However, i don't have any scripts going at the moment, i don't need battery, so any " and it's good on battery " will be respectively ignored.
I have looked around but not really found a decent enough set up for this phone yet.. Can someone please recommend me a kernel for 4.2.2 which is fast, and responsive, but also one with good Ram?
And can someone recommend some scripts worth using with this Phone? Again, don't go on about battery or SD life or phone life, idc about it, it's a spare phone..
Thanks in advance guys, could you provide me with links as well if it's not too much trouble? I prefer being directed straight to the point so i don't end up using the wrong Kernel/script..
Edit1: I'm not changing Rom. At all. unless you get an updated Carbon or 4.3.

Seems noone is willing to reply, but this probably because some searching and logical thinking would answer your questions. So since you are not willing to do it yourself others don´t mind replying to you.
So well I don´t use any scripts but regarding RAM size think about it. If you buy a PC with lets say 2GB installed RAM. Will you get also 2GB free ram by running an Operating System on it?

If you were to purchase 2gb of ram likelyhood is you will recieve 1.59+- usable Ram, free Ram would be totally different, however the way it was presented, and the way i portrayed it was thet the Ramdisk of the kernel was at 370+-, rather then 512.. I'm using a Desire C, which is running CM10 with 300mb free ram, with a 512mb ram disk, whereas with hurtskys kernel 3.0.x i get 99mb free? on 4.2.2 on my golfu i got 270mb free ram, and that was a Rom of 250mb+ and it's only at 767mhz.. yet seems smoother then the SGW? :s On paper it should be the other way around..
dun think u should worry about free ram.
android is based on linux, linux memory concept is different from other OS.
it something like " free memory is waste memory".
memory is always filled and hold so tat it wont waste time to reload.
if need more memory, system will free memory for other usage.
maybe this will help explain better, http://www.linuxatemyram.com/

You should first read what a ramdisk is. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ramdisk
The 270+MB in hurtskys or my kernel is the real RAM aviable. The rest is reserved for the ROM, camera, drivers and processes to work correctly.
How much of the 3gb memory will be available for use? Nexus 10 announced to have 2gb, but after buying it I realized actual available memory is 1.1gb. So, the question is, will same do the same thing?
Any ideas?

Are you talking about ram?
If yes, maybe 2.3-2.5...
For example, HTC One have 2 GB of ram, but you can use 1.5.
So, we have to see when the tablet is released
The purpose of having RAM in your phone/computer etc is to increase performance. You don't increase the performance by leaving the ram free. You use it.
Free RAM is wasted RAM
i think most people here should understand that if you're not using your ram then it's wasted. but i think he wants to know how much is available to apps after the gpu and system take their share.
someone posted a screenshot in one of the threads and i thought it was somewhere around 2.3GB.

Good, 2.3 GB
However, you're right.
People didn't understand that ram will be full..
Every one will kill all process ._.
Hi,
What is the current situation on the amount of free RAM available in the 2GB version of this phone? Does it still have only around 500MB available after cleaning the RAM, or has this been improved by software updates?
I'm thinking about getting the 2GB RAM version of the G3, but I'm concerned about the amount of RAM that's actually usable on this device for apps, and not system related stuff. I have read in previous threads that there is only around 500 MB of free RAM available on this phone after rebooting, which would be unacceptable for me as much older devices such as the Note 2 and the Nexus 5 have about 1.3GB RAM available for apps. Even my 3 year old Galaxy S3 has 300MB and it constantly gives me issues by closing apps while I'm multitasking and I don't want to relive that with the next phone.
Don't give me the "free ram is wasted ram" speech as I do intend on keeping the RAM full, but with apps that matter to me and my multitasking.
Thanks.
Bump. So the question is: how much RAM do you have free after clearing it on the latest firmware?

With greenify I have around 800mb free ram after reboot
Phone has been on for about 12 hours, I just closed all apps and I have around 600mb free.
On my rooted D855 running 10H, I usually have 450-500MB of RAM free (without me killing anything or using any greenify apps or such). I find even with "only" 2GB of RAM, my G3 can handle all the multitasking I throw at it. I don't find myself wishing that my phone had more RAM. It's not something to get too worried over.
VS985 here. Probably not the info you're looking for as my model comes with 3GB, but immediately after clearing RAM I had 1.2GB available. However, I've noticed over the past 9 days of owning this device I'm usually hovering between 500MB-800MB of free RAM after using it (and many different apps) for an extended period of time.
how many mb left after you clear the RAM?
thanks
no one knows?
i just dont want to have a flagship with free ram 500mb only like S6 edge
You do know that free ram isn't a factor on performance with Android right? Also get rid of your bloat. My L90 has almost 400 free all the time and i have a gig of ram.

I know
But my xiaomi redmi 1s has 400mb free ram and my super expensive S6 EDGE only has 500mb left after I clear the RAM
And no ... bloatware removal and everything don't help
It makes my Chrome browser reload reload reload reload reload the page over and over and over and over again
Wasting my mobile data plan
All i want to know is how much the free ram on the G4
Hope this helps!

My H815 had about 1.4GB free after cleaning open apps pretty much after just starting it up and not installing much.

free ram is wasted ram, keep this in mind if you are looking for best performance and not just for a good illusionary feeling to have a lot of capacity in reserve

Wait what?
First you tell him RAM no matter for performance - which is utter nonsense & one simple bit of proof on that is the fact since day 1 of the first Droid phone - 2009 - we have gone from 256 to 512 to 1gb to 2gb to 3gb & some are about to push 4gb RAM. If it's not a performance benefit why is that 1 spec that has & does continued to grow? Because it SERIOUSLY matters for performance.
But then you contradict yourself by telling him to clear bloat... but if RAM does not matter why advise cleaning out bloatware?
Ps - do some research on the S6 memory leak... RAM matters & phones with 1gb RAM should be outlawed
Oh I'm sorry perhaps I should have just done this http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
Free ram does not matter as I was saying. if your phone is laggy the main reason for this will be the BLOAT that is installed by your carrier or the os itself. Ram works differently in android than it does on windows and other operating systems. so as I said FREE RAM. doesn't matter as long as you have enough on it for whatever programs you are running. 1 gig works just fine for everything I do. Then again I don't game on my phone, I do that on a computer or a console.

1. did you actually just link to a 2011 article?
2. you did not answer my question as to why RAM numbers keep going up yearly and have since the first Droid? If it is of no value, why add cost by adding more? Of all the things a phone maker can and does do, why keep adding RAM and yet, for example, drop the MicroSD?
3. And, if bloat removal is the answer.. why? I will tell you why.. they are eating RAM. If it is not that, then why worry about bloat? Of course, you can worry about bloat if you are low on storage, but assume storage is fine (you have 20 of 32gb free for example). Ok, remove bloat and then what? How did it benefit you? It benefitted you by not having apps using RAM - simply put. Which pretty much is saying performance is impacted by bloat which impacts available RAM which impacts performance so cut out your bloatware and improve performance and... free up more RAM.
ps - I don't game either, I'll take more RAM any day.
Ok I have an LG G4 ATT. Fresh factory reset. All bloatware disabled or removed if able. Nothing installed at all yet. OS updated to current release. Straight simple stock phone. No accounts set for anything. phone uses 2.7g of RAM available. Phone turned on with brand new battery dies at 7% in 10min. 3batterys all new tested. Issue is the excessive amount of RAM being used. Android os alone shouldn't kill a phone. This is point blank fact. Phone stated battery life is trashed and is pointless of even mentioning if the RAM issue doesn't matter. Bottom line. Theirs a issue. Developers or manufacturers of these phones needs to quit worrying about making all this money just by adding more RAM. RAM is used in same way as a PC. (Random Access memory) not (ready available memory)
And just a say to these companies making new phones. Make the phones for the people that's buying them not to add money to ur pockets. A non removable battery? Why even think that will make things better? Batteries go bad. We all know this. Removing the micro SD slots. Blocking us from using the SD as a write disk. Oh i forgot. Companies making these phone want only our money. Got ya. They know we have to either buy a new phone when that battery goes bad, u have to buy this 32gb or 64gb or 128gb phone at retarded added costs for more space. Stop thinking ur helping the world by making sopused better phones. Start listening to the buyers and what we want. Ur likely to actually make better devices and make more money in the long run.

So my ram is constantly above 3.2gb used. Anyone getting the same issue?
actually it's not an issue...it's better than having too much free space in RAM because apps are getting closed. Android takes even advantage from rather full RAM than totally free one
