I wonder why my Redmi 1S got its ram quite busy . i didn't feel any lag or anything but just wondering . it's 307/1gb . i understand that system took some of the ram management and so on other apps (facebook,line,etc) but 717 mb is just too many (1024-307= 717 ) . anyone encountering the same thing like me ? i'm new here so sorry for my bad english . please share some of your screenshot on ram management and there's some screenshot of my running apps and ram management
871-307=566
Actually MiUi only shows like that...our usable RAM available is only 873MB rest of 1024 is reserved for GPU ! Same situation on moto G !
The powerful GPU uses RAM but makes all fluent

thanks for replying ! it's good to know that my phone is fine ! just bought it for a week and done tweaking . i guessed as long as it is still smooth, it shouldn't be a problem. no wonder that it's only had 307 free ram .
In addition to both replies above, our true free RAM is just always around 150-50mb or lower depends on your OOM settings.

Hey Guys,
is there a way to save RAM ?
I'm using this Rom & I have only 79Mb free of RAM.
I tried zeppelinrox V6 SuperCharger
But it doesn't work.
so does anybody know an other way ?
Hmm and a question,is tehre a way to disable Sense 3.0 Task-manager ? cause maybe V6 SuperCharger doesn't work,cause of task-manager(maybe he kills it)
JuLiian
no need to think about the ram handling. when its going to be full (mean few MB), android will free some ram
One thing you should know about Android is that it takes care of itself when it comes to freeing RAM and all that. Using task killers and RAM optimizers can do more harm than be helpful. I wouldn't worry about not having much RAM available since Android frees RAM for you when it gets a little low. Maybe check for apps running in the background.
Two excellent guides which support meaples opinion:

Thanks for your awnser.
I never looked about Ram,but with this rom i have only 70MB free and sometimes the rom feels very slow. And a friend of mine had the same problem and he used this script and it works very well for him,so I thought I could trie this ,too
(Moderator, i posted this here because this it's a solution about the lack of RAM on Defy running CM10)
Hello people!
We are all excited about the Defy with CM10 Jelly Bean
But there is one thing that many users are complaining like a grumpy old man
It's about using too much RAM in Android 4.1.1 on Defy
Well, first I want to say one thing:
WAKE UP PEOPLE! IT'S ANDROID OS, NOT WINDOWS! :good:
And now comes the old explanation about RAM on Android:
- The Android OS is based on Linux, as everyone knows. The system features a smart task manager that handles all apps minimized to the re-start of apps more faster.
When the system needs more RAM to run any app, it kills unused apps to free up more RAM. And it will be that way forever, because that's how it works with the linux memory management.:angel:
End of this beautiful love story.
[Q] - So my friend Salo-S, why my Defy uses so much RAM in JB?
- I just finished explaining right now. But however, I have not seen any lack of free RAM on my Defy+, is always at 185 ~ 230 free (open with some apps, like Google Now or WALKMAN player of Xperia S).
[Q] - And then? what you have to do with that?
Simple. Check what apps are consuming as much memory as you describe.
Probably you installed an app that consumes a lot of RAM.
Solution: Full-Wipe IT. Reinstall the CM10 and now pay attention to their apps.
[Q] - Oh Salo-S, my phone keeps in low memory like 100 ~ 85 free.
Ok, then do yourself a LITE version of JB!:cyclops:
How? I explain.
My wife has a XPERIA X8 which has only 185 RAM running good the CM9.
Witchcraft? No, it's just removing unnecessary content as LiveWallpapers, Dev Apps, Google Apps and some many other apps that do not affect the functioning of the system.( Something like a LITE version of ICS )
185MB of RAM the phone has, ICS runs well with only 40 ~ 50 MB free.
I do not think this is useful in Defy with JB, but try!
This is the solution if your Defy loves sushi of RAM memory.
The Android system has a great management of RAM, I think all this unnecessary.
It is the explanation and tips for users with RAM problems, I think this will help ..
Right now friends, we can stop asking about the SWAP on Defy (we have locked bootloader) and stop talking about low RAM. This all explained now.
Thanks to Quarx and Epsylon3 to make JB possible and good on our Defy's!
Thanks ,
nice explanation !!
but still this thread is more worthy of general section

thought so....
It might sound rude to fans of Task-Killer apps and V6 Supercharger (it works, but not for everyone),
but Salo-S is right. Even with task killing, it only temporarily frees up the RAM, but if you have a lot
of apps installed, the RAM will fill up again in a few minutes.
So the best way to free up ram on a low-RAM device like Defy and Defy+, is to limit the number of
memory-hungry apps in your phone.

you can install as many apps as you want, you just need to avoid that they start automatically. i use this app and it really helps to control when which app starts.
hope this will help you guys
@salo-s
basically you were right. but have you ever read some posts in quarx' cm10 thread?? it is a fact that our defy runs very slow with cm10 and 50-70 MB free RAM (or less). This happens when you flash full gapps and some favorite apps. if you flash minimal gapps (and also some favorite apps) free RAM is about 120-150 MB and the rom is very smooth and responsible.
some useres think it's a cache problem. more free ram = more cache = smoother system.

That doesn't matter.
It's a guide, you're not developing anything, therefore it doesn't go in the Dev section.

Very good explanation on the way Android Memory Management works.
To extend on it, people you can use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer app from Play Store. Using this App you can increase the Minimum amount of RAM to be free. Basically, this app is not a task killer but is just an extension of the natural Memory Management system in Android as it helps you customize the Amount of minimum RAM to be free and change the value of RAM to be consumed by the Non-Active Apps etc.
I have been using it for months now (on Stock Froyo, CM7, CM9) and it has been working it's magic ever since.
So far i have installed 125 games and applications (still 1 gb internal memory left) and i am running out of ram - nearly 300 mb, what is the solution to increase the ram in this case?

125 apps!!!
Anyway don't worry about RAM...
Android is not like Windows and free RAM is wasted RAM...
Android utilizes the maximum RAM available to it...
So don't worry...
But if you still sulk I can recommend Greenify...
Provided you need a rooted phone for this to work...
PS: btw, don't forget to click the Thanks button if I've helped you...

Greenify works on non-rooted devices too.
holy... another person complaining about less ram...
how about you inform yourself how ram on android system works

inspite of having low ram, moto e works like as new as it was in the beginning of first use.
nothing to worry about low ram. just boost it whenever u want from clean master, that's all folks.
I bought a new galaxy tab pro 8.4 (T320) 5 days ago... I installed only ''facebook'', ''fb messengers'', ''viber'', ''subway surfer'', ''clean master''.
it has 2GB RAM... but it normally shows 1.4GB RAM using and about 400MB RAM free.... does it normal for this new tablet... plz bcoz i am new android system ....

Yes, it is normal.
Simply put, Android has complex - dynamic - ways of using and re-using RAM space.
As long as you don't see messages like "unable to start program", you're on the safe side.

Its normal. It doesn't benefit Android to have RAM free, and in fact its usually more efficient to have RAM as full as possible. This lets you quickly access commonly used apps, instead of stopping and starting them every time.
Also, be careful about using task killers for many of the same reasons. Freeing RAM has little benefit, but constantly killing and restarting tasks can actually impact performance, battery, or cause other issues.
Dear experts,
Kindly find a way to utilise GWA2 ram fully ie: 1.5gb
I'm facing slowness while running heavy watch faces and apps.
Kindly help ?
How do you mean it fully? The watch will use as much RAM as the apps use until it hits 1.5gb, THEN it will start to slow down. If it slows down before hitting 1.5gb its not the RAM thats causing it, its the CPU being to slow
This is what I meant
Kindly see the screenshot.
