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?

now im using Cusrom CM9 EOL..
but really so interest to using CM10.1 Alpha (build 8)
CM9 RC 3 (ICS), it has more free RAM than the stock ROM and games are smoother. Maybe you can flash custom GB ROM if u really like GB bcoz the UI is simpler etc.

CM9 (EOL) and Hurtsky v4.2 kernel. After heavy app free mem nearly 170mb Apps mooore smoother than stock GB.
running on touchwiz by ipromeh. tried jb and ics n i think the best is still ics. smooth, battery life & nice ui
still waiting for the best gb custom rom...

mm...small addition, if I may. It's based on the preview version of CM10.2, not CM10.3, cause that hasn't been launched yet.
I am currently using AOIP 1.7 (yeah, I know I said 1.7, it's in testing). Why? Because it's awesome!!! Well, at least for me.

Using CM10.2 because I like latest stuff

You've got literally a TON of JB ROMs in the Development section (up to Android 4.3, by the way) to confirm that yes, it can. And surprisingly enough they all run really well.
may be

hey dud .....
well i find rootbox awesome ......... yeah although i like to deal with the eol roms but this one is great it makes you control your whole rom and i mean it the whole for me i guess
and in the end it is all up to you and your usage the GB is nice as you have been working with it for along time but you have forgot that the stock GB consumes alote of ram and it sucks when multitasking
so i prefer any custum rom you choose for your daily use thats all
sorry for my bad english

For battery combined with no bugs, stability and speed I recommend thors rom, google tegraowners.net it's not on XDA. Carbonrom on here is a great rom too, I'd also combine it with thor's kernel.
Then last but not least, SlimBean rom! It's my current daily and battery with included kernel is very decent and it's the current AOSP 4.3 rom with the least bugs imo. If you really can't live with any bugs go for the 4.2.2 version.
Only bugs I have in SlimBean beta2 4.3 is graphic glitches in stock browser and gmail.. But it's absolutely doable, besides that it's ultrafast and the customisation options are sweet
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Probam is excellent..it has various features and is updated frequently (recently 4.3 was release)..I personally used it for 3 weeks and found it working smooth and lag free
Then comes resurrection and illusion rom..I haven't tried them but they were the 'rom of the week' in note2root site by zedomax

Well although its TW Alliance is good. It looks exactly like a AOSP Rom anf it even has the CRT effect but it keeps the S apps

I'd like to say "Hello" to all developers. I want to request them just a simple thingy :3
Every new ROM which is posted for T989 is based on CM 10.2 a.k.a Android 4.3.0 ... yes, ofc everybody wants to use the newest android system but there are still planty of T989 users which would like to run fast, smooth, stable and customized CM 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) based ROM with good battery life. In official cyanogenmod site (www.cyanogenmod.org) i saw there is official upload of CM 10.1 and it has STABLE STATUS. The version is from 23th September 2013 (23.09.2013). I installed it and used my phone like 3 days with cm 10.1 official. I didn't find any bugs.. only NFC cannot be turned off. So my request is:
Would some smart developer like to make port/ROM based on Official CM 10.1 with some customization (ofc if this is a must or etc) without any launchers like NOVA, Apex and so. Thank you in advance to all developers <3

Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Free mobile app
GUYS YOU CAN SEND YOUR AOSP 5.1 AND CM 12.1 SCREESHOTS IN THIS THREAD.
YOU CAN ASK ANYTHING REGARDING THESE TOPICS , YOU WILL GET FAST REPLY IN THIS THREAD WITH FULL SUPPORT..
Advantages of CM12.1 and Disadvantages of AOSP 5.1
1) Customizations and settings for everything - Very less customizations in AOSP. (e.g Battery percentage, backlight duration, status bar settings, inbuilt root support, clear all in recent apps`, force 3g, and many many more)
2) Themes - No theme support in AOSP.
3) Ongoing support and updates by developer. - Very infrequent updates in AOSP and possible stop in future once CM12.1 is out.
4) Screencasting working flawlessly on chromecast - Does not work in AOSP.
Disadvantages of CM12 and advantages of AOSP 5.1
1) Laggy beyond your patience in cm - AOSP too smooth even after installing tonnes of apps.
2) Poor battery life in cm - AOSP noticeable better battery life.
3) Laggy dialer in cm - Super Smooth Dialer in AOSP.
4) Apps keep reloading even if you have opened them before some time. - No such issues in AOSP.
5) The famous memory leak bug of 5.0.2 in cm - AOSP has this fixed.
So it depends on you , which you want to use
I want to thanks tharmor , he helps me to differentiate b/w these..
NOTE: DONT BE CONFUSED , THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR SHARING SCREENSHOTS , THOUGHTS AND FOR DISCUSSION BUT NOT ABOUT DEVELOPMENT OF ROM....
