Hi guys
I wanted to increase the ram of our galaxy grand since it only has 800 mb of usable ram so after researching I found an app called RAM extender by roehsoft but the problem is it need a kernel which has swap support and I'm currently on latest carbon rom with triprex's kernel and it does not have support for swap. Any help or suggestions or link for a kernel which supports swap or weather this is a good idea or not??
Thanks
I think Evolution kernel by @k2wl supports RAM extender.

Thanks for that. I'll check for it. Have you tried it though? If yes, what's your review?

I tried it..
But my internal storage (my files\internal storage) does not open after that.

Hello and first i have to say, great forum!
Now to my question. Is it possible to create a swap file or partition (like swapper, or???) for my/our galaxy? Then we didn't have the low ram problem !?!
(like my old htc magic )

there is no low ram problem in actual kernels...
Yes, you mean the kernels with 340mb ram. But i mean ram like galaxy tab ob more. ;-)

Swap does no good for this device, as soon as it starts to swap it gets inresponsive because the sdcard is way to slow except maybe you have a class 16 card which for me is out of reach in terms of price...
Do Galaxy Tab appz use much more RAM? Because with a lot of widgets and synch apps I've never ever filled the 304 (now 340) megabytes of RAM to justify the swap...
This is my first post and my english is very poor.
Ok, as i can see the maximun amount of free ram that we can get to our plays is arround 250 mb, but my galaxy tab have the same ram (512mb) and i can get more than 300 mb with bloatwere. So anyone knows why?

MB and MB is totally different thing.
MB's on storage
And MB's of RAM left
Just fyi.

Their systems are different. Some system takes up more RAM but some don't. I assume your tab can't make calls and sms, so there will be more RAM available than phone.
I think Xperia Play have less than 512MB of RAM. I have seen other Xperia 2011 models with 512MB (Arc S and Neo) and they have more RAM looking at the app manager.
Obtain 250MB of free memory is an epic win in this phone even with the lightest GB rom.

My partner has an Arc S and the ram on her phone is alot worse than my play, I get around 234mb free ram and her arc S gets around 183mb free and both are on Gb stock
Sent from my R800i
I mean, if you sum the used RAM and the free RAM... Xperia Play has less total RAM than an Arc S. Or at least that's what I remember.
And it's possible to "block" some of this features ( via kernel or whatever ) to have more aviable RAM?

Sent from my Xperia Play waiting for an stable CM10
i found a method to play very well all the game you must to install THIS task killer and active all the root killing option and when you clean the ram you have more than 200mb of ram and the app not restart(i add to excluded list the launcher and swiftkey beacuse when he kill swiftkey then i must select again because the stock keyboard is active) (after play restart the phone for normal use) sms and call work normally when you play super fluid ....i try on CM9, CM10,CM10.1 with :
asphalt 7
real racing 3
subway surf
temple run 2
cm9 is clean with no script ecc ecc
i install a fast reboot program to reboot fastly when i finish to play
NOW YOU CAN FINALLY PLAY WELL!!! :laugh:
UPDATE
i add screen to see my setup.....
i try on CM10, CM10.1 and CM9 and i see better performance and more free ram on CM9 but i can play well on CM10, CM10.1 too
If you you want the apk......
Download apk here --> http://www.mediafire.com/?dgn20btes32xykz
Enjoy

Maybe it causes of RAM factor, I play rr3 on fresh rc6 really fresh without 3rd party apps. And I got rr3 run smoothly and not freezing.
But, I can't live with no apps on my ROM
edited : of course with custom kernel mod

if the problem is shortage in ram, the real solution is to create swap.
task killers can only clear as much ram there is in the device.
games like real racing 3 and contract killer 2 need more ram than what our Wonder have.
by creating swap at least 256mb, ram is extended so these games do not fc no more.

Need to buy microSD class 10 for best performance for creating swap.
Try this later when I have it.

you can also use your internal sd for it if you have space left, i've tried 128mb and contract killer 2 works just fine

Yes, I have do it. I use ram manager pro to create swap file., but I scared it can degrade my sd card life.,

UPDATE first post with setup screen
this really works .Thanks
But i cant free soo much memory ^....Even though i use hadidj's kernel (which has 376 mb of ram) I can get only 160-170 mb free. And i kill the swift key too , I excluding the phone.. I would like to free 200mb like you or more on this kernel hehe
It is much better to play subway surfers. Only very rare small lags ^^
R: really working trick for hard gaming
I use stock kernel and I wait to try a hady kernel to try with more ram yes often a small lag persist e rarely the app restart again but I think because I kill first to wait for the super user gain of the program

Why xda developers forum cm10.1 kernel support less and less RAM can expand the point is at least as big as you like cm7.2.
I also tried to swap the sd card but the device becomes unstable
It's because the missing RAM is allocated to the camera.
Missing ram is using as a swap memory (memory used for linux temporary files) and other applications to mAke it faster. As for the unstablity files of android 4 is not properly configured for the device

Can anyone tell me whats the best custom rom that use ram, cpu and battery efficiently for my Grand?
Thnx in advance

No worries but CM 11 only supports primary sim slot i want a rom that works for both sims and must be stable bug free
Yes cm11 only supports primary sim slot but cm11 have better perfomance for playing high game
I've also tried gennxt superior rom too its work for both sims slot and stable rom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ive tried both gennxt rom and k3 pure pyramid rom even but im not satisfied they use alot of ram and cpu in simple battery drains faster but how about doesnt cm11 get stucked while running games
When I use the CM11, I never got stuck while playing games, maybe you should re-install CM11, likely games killer, gamecih, or other hacking application does not run properly on cm11
