I am thinking to tweak my Universal to 128 MB, but what exactly is the benefit?
I think the speed will go up because the os can put files in the ram but it is really noticeable?
Thanks

Apps like Opera and Navigon will greatly profit from more RAM as they eat our measly 30 MB free RAM (best case) alive. You might see more speed on previously slow tasks like opening the Windows folder if the ROMs cache settings has been tweaked to suit the available RAM. But other than that programs just give you a message once you run out of memory and as there is no page file no slowdown occurs.
is there a way to increase ram?? how to over clock wildfire s??
You can overclock Wildfire S up to 806 Mhz with Alquez's CyanogenMod 7
cm7 port is not fullly developed i wud lik 2 w8 for it 2 fully develop...i just installed JikantaruROM XE yest...can i over clock in JikantaruROM XE??? what about ram?
Can't increase RAM, and CM7 is 99% fully developed only thing left is camera flash.
512MB RAM is good, no reason to expand it by swap or something else.
tat 1% is oly important 2 me...hope it is fixed soon....512 ram in tat 250 is always occupied
are you talking about RAM or system flash memory? both start at 512mb but both go down quite a lot. RAM ends up about 300 before boot and about 200 after everything's running. System memory goes down to about 70 with stock ROM and about 120 with a cleaned out ROM, but drops by about 40mb just from syncing contacts and gmail, etc.
data2sd or another similar app let's you have up to 2gb of system flash memory. Remember these are completely different from RAM. you can't really increase the ram.
The only way to 'expand' your ram would be a swap partition on your sd, but this isn't the best way, because it's damn slow and should only be used as fallback within alert situations. I also don't know if sense roms support it.
Swyped from my HTC Desire S
What obvious reasons to use swap in this device? Which app consumes whole system memory? Any ROM with plenty widgets fired on gives 200MB free ...
im talking about the RAM...200 is always occupied...250 is free after killing all the unwanted apps
Hello guys,I'm using BioHazard_W v.4 ROM, and the RAM usage of it's pretty high, how to lower the ram usage on it?
It's always over 240mb from 350, I wan't to tweak that RAM usage to 150-200 normaly, any advice on that?

240 MB used out of 350 MB ... that means 110 MB free.
That's a respectable number.
Now let me tell you one interesting thing about Linux : free RAM is useless RAM.
Whenever possible, Linux will leave you with as low free RAM as possible, and use the rest of the RAM for caching. This will not only make the system goes faster, but -- in case of portable devices -- reduce power usage as most of the most-often used data is kept in memory, saving the device from having to access a storage media (which consumes more power than accessing the RAM).
So... if your system is not suffering from endless lags and redraws... just ignore the RAM usage.

Btw, my phone had 40mb of RAM free right now when I checked, and I can't multitask successful, when I minimize something and open something else, then, when I decide to open the previous app, it reloads again, and I just wan't it to be on RAM and minimized.
Any suggestions how to make the multitaskin way better?

In that case, try cutting down on apps that continuously run in the background.
In my phone, apps that run in the background are : Google+, Avast!, Pulse (update every 3 hours), Tasks+, Widgetsoid, and CPU Tuner. All other apps I prevent from starting using AutoStarts.

Ok, will try.
But I found another solution for that.

That pimp tool is awesome, you can tweak multitasking, RAM, toucscreen smoothness.
Almost everything.
What are the possible ways of increasing RAM (either SWAP or ZRAM) except from rooting and installing a certain software? I've already searched but all I got was to use Roehsoft RAM Expander
Ram can't be increased rather learn to tune LMK (Low Memory Killer) and also add a low memory flag to build.prop
I have a 4gb variant. For some reason, about 2gb RAM is always free no matter how many apps I open. What tweaks can I do so that RAM is used completely?
