My phone will not stop using so much ram. When I flash a new Roman it sits at about 700-800mb of ram but with my normal apps I'm seeing a constant usage of over a gigabyte of ram. And for some reason, even after I close all apps/kill, the ram doesn't free up much. I'm using greenery on most my apps, can't get battery stats to work tho so I can't see wake locks that I have.

Lately I've noticed my battery life draining fast. So when I check my RAM usage its always around 1 GB at any given time. Is something wrong here? Ive removed most bloatware apps, I have no Widgets running and maybe 5 apps I downloaded. Nor am I running any live wallpaper. Just seems like a lot of RAM for not doing much with my phone..

My RAMs seem high. Just want to know what they are and why they are so high.

Are you really asking what RAM is?

RAM = Random Access Memory
When they told you your phone comes with 2GBs of memory, they were referring to the RAM. RAM is the memory your phone uses to run things temporarily, such as apps. The more RAM you have the better usually, since you can do more things at once without bogging yourself down.
What you probably mean by your RAM being high is probably the amount of RAM you're using at any given time. If it's always high, that probably means something's running in the background using it all up.

To further add to this, you really shouldn't worry about high RAM usage as well. The only time you should worry is when your phone begins to lag heavily. Otherwise, the Android OS itself is very efficient and will usually manage your RAM closing off apps that have been cached if it requires more memory to run a new process.

What is your guys normal ram consumption when nothing is running in the normal task manager?
This is not even the worse its been I have gotten to 27% free with no apps running.

This one is not clearing anything. And this one is with clearing
i never check or clear my memory or cache.
Looking for an app or script that will clear ram automatically when screen goes off. Thank you

Advanced task killer pro does that. If you're rooted, you can use greenify which pretty much does the same thing but hibernates the app as well.

No need to do that honestly.
You'll only use up more battery clearing out the ram every time.
Android does a really good god in ram management.
Greenify is a good alternative.
It doesn't clear them off ram but it hibernates apps from running in the background that would also consume battery.

If it's not running then it's not using ram...

Yes it is... Unless you close it completely. Random Access Memory is that.... Places apps apps in memory to later take them out to run, which makes it a faster process rather than closing them completely and opening them again.
Greenify "hibernates" and app as in it won't run, notifications checks, automatically running, check ins or refreshing feeds to save battery, its still in ram but its not running, saving lots of battery.

What kind of ram usage are u guys seeing. I am constantly using 1.45 of 1.75 gb on jedi master 13. This seems high to me, is it normal?

I'm at 1.15 right now, but you got to realize that in Android unused RAM is really just a waste. With these modern phones it will keep apps in RAM to speed up launch times, response time, etc. As long as your RAM isn't so full it lags to launch new apps you're good. Android will clear space when it's needed.
Great article about this
