Free RAM is not the issue, it's whether your phone has breathing space.
For instance, I can have 50mb free but everything runs fast because the RAM is used up by apps that I use.
However, if your RAM is being used up by background services and apps that you don't use, then it will produce occasional slow down.
In other words, free RAM is not the goal, but properly utilised RAM.
All this being said, I hope RAM management improves with ICS.
When you restart your phone, check the RAM after it fully starts up (without opening any apps). Mine is 150 used, 150 free.

I have 267MB free.. Arc S...
You on a custom ROM?
I'm running stock, rotted, so some system apps removed.
Mine has around 140MB of free ram.Try to reduce unnecessary widgets from the homescreen.
If rooted use titanium backup and move internal apps to system.
Use the integrate into ROM function. System apps have there own partition.
This might help with lag issue.

Can you explain me better please?
If you want a lot of free ram
Just install Gemini task killer and app manager ..also download fast reboot from the store
I usually get about 200 meg free ram when i reboot and about 175 free ram after 24 hours ..
I am rooted and using aniking rom ...

OK if your phone is rooted then use an app from the market which is called titanium backup.
Once installed press menu button select batch option look for option to make a backup of all 'system apps and user apps'
once the backup its complete. Look for option in batch setting 'integrate into ROM'
This will move some internal apps into the system partition of the phone, this will free up your visible internal free memory.
I have moved maps, gmail, adobe flash into rom and they run with out any issue and still update
Hope fully this will help if you are having any lag issue.

I have 100 to 150 mb free. I use icelite beta1, but i have installed ram manager free from market becouse my ram was always under 60 mb and i have experienced some lags. But now all works fine. Hope it helps
When it starts it has around 200MB of RAM, with moderate use (Browser, YouTube, maybe a game, Twitter..) around 140MB, never goes below 100.
I have Arc S, currently unrooted (bricked it once, waiting on ICS)
and I think RAM managment will be better in Ice Cream
185 ~ 165 MB

Just curious where y'all are picking these numbers from? And just how many are confusing "RAM" with "storage"?
And, don't forget, "free" (as in unused) RAM is wasted RAM. In a perfect system, you would have 0 MB of free RAM, as every bit of RAM that wasn't currently in use by an app would be used to cache data to prevent the uber-slow reads from disk.

0 ram in a perfect system? There must always be some free ram, because new opened apps need it. But je can use swap memory. I use it to, and it's boost my system. But use a good sd card when u want to use swap memory. I have a class 10 sd card, so I don't have any problems whit my swap memory. I installed a2sd and use the app a2sdGui tot set the swapines. Swapines is how much the system use the swap memory.
Swap memory is the same as virtual memory in windows. But when you only have a class 4 sd card, I don't advice you to use swap memory. And whit a2sd you also can put system apps to your sd, on a sd-ext partition. Search on XDA and you find something about it.

Usually 150 to 185. Depending on the applications I'm running on background.

No, you don't need free RAM for this. RAM currently being used for Cache, marked as Inactive, or used for Buffers will either be discarded or flushed to disk, and then that newly freed RAM will be used for the new app.
In Linux (which is what's under/behind Android), there are 5 categories of memory usage:
- Active (RAM currently in use by the app)
- Inactive (RAM used by apps that aren't currently running but were recently so could be used again quickly if you run the same app again)
- Cached (RAM used by the OS to cache disk reads/writes; can be flushed to disk at any time for use by apps)
- Buffer (RAM used by the OS to buffer various things; can be discarded at any time for use by apps)
- Free (completely unused RAM just sitting there doing nothing)
In a perfect system, Free would be 0. Any available RAM would be used by apps (Active) or the OS (Cached/Buffer). And anytime an app needs RAM, it would grab it from the Cached/Buffer groups.
But je can use swap memory. I use it to, and it's boost my system. But use a good sd card when u want to use swap memory. I have a class 10 sd card, so I don't have any problems whit my swap memory.

Swap use is an indication that the system has too little (not enough) RAM for the number of apps you want to use and is really just a crutch. The less swap you use, the better the system will run.

And, again, how are you measuring "free" RAM? I'm willing to bet that what most people are measuring is not actually "Free" RAM, but what the Settings --> Applications --> Running applet shows as "free", which is really a total of Cached, Buffer, and Free (IOW, it's showing "RAM available for use by apps" and not "Free, as in wasted, RAM". Those are two very different things.)
Install a real stats/monitoring tool like Diagnosis and configure it to show "free" ("Real free memory", not "Total free memory"; the former is Free, the latter is Free+Cached+Buffers) memory, and you'll notice that it will hover around/under 5 MB most of the time. When you first power on, "Free" will be 40-80 MB. Fire up a few apps, and it will drop down to almost 0 MB. And it will hover there until you reboot the phone.
Which is exactly what it's supposed to do!
"Free" RAM is wasted RAM.
I've noticed on my e975 EU version even with 0-1 apps open the ram free is only 1gb... Other phones have far more ram available including my previous nexus 4. Anyone else notice this? I often find with quite a few apps open I only have 2-300mb free
I've never seen less than 500mb free but its true. Never more than 1gb.
I checked earlier with 0 apps running it was at almost 1gb used.. what on earth is using almost 1gb!? If phones with only 1gb can use less than that on jelly bean.. why does this phone use so much?
According to ram usage i am using approx 400mb, task manager says im using 800mb. Maybe 400mb is reserved for system? This is on stock rom with only a few apps installed.
Keep in mind free ram is wasted ram. Free ram is like having a fast car and only using first gear. Still curious to know where it all ram is used nontheless.

I get what your saying with 'Free ram is wasted ram' but when you run out of ram.... things will start to stutter.
Having a few apps open to find you only have like 300mb left is insane.
I've had phones with only 1gb ram before and with lots of apps open they are using like 700mb/1000mb... it's almost like this phone is going 'Oh I have 2gb available so i'm just going to chomp up 1gb for the sake of it and leave you with 1gb left....'
If you're root use an app called "Greenify". Simply hibernate the apps that don't use adding to the list of the app, then add the widget to hibernate the app that you added (all except whatsapp, twitter in my case). In addition I use a tasker manager (don't added to greenify) and add a widget too, that combination gave me 1,2 gb free using a lot of widgets
Im stock un-rooted.
I only have 2 widgets on my home screens, 1 is the standard world clock and the other is play music. Tried removing both and it barely made a dent...

That's weird, only 900 mb free?? Mmmm, try using advanced task manager from the play store (I don't remember if root is needed), that will free you more memory. But in the 900 doesn't mean that the phone will be heavier, backward the used ram is exploited to make the Optimus lighter
Seems odd eh...
I also have 600 - 700 MB of RAM when I do not use anything.
There are just icons on my homepage, and a calendar widget (stock one).
At this case, It gives me 600-700 MB of free RAM. I always use "clear RAM" button. But why it gives us so limited free ram?
I used to use 4X HD with 1GB of RAM. There were 350-400 MB free which almost same with this optimus g?
Can someone explain this situation?
Or I think we need a new update. or CM10.1
It just feels like the phone is using up too much or isn't optimised properly.
As said above, phones with only 1gb available use about 3-500mb... Our phone with 2gb available seems to use about 900mb-1gb with nothing running. It's like it's gone 'Oh there's twice as much free so I'll just use twice as much...'
What about the AOSP custom Roms ...is the ram usage is same on that kind of Roms too?

No clue, i'm 100% stock unrooted Maybe someone will know.
My nexus 4 was far better at ram usage than my optimus g mind you. No matter what it never used more than 1.2gb
I think the Lg UI(stock firmware) is a memory hungry ...i suggest to try AOSP roms with lg skin :thumbup:

Using cm10.1 and have always about 1.4gb free, and this is more than enough for everything.
Y, stock rom have a crazy high ram usage, now im on PA and got 1.2gb free.
My doubt would be if, on stock rom, you get many slowdowns when you experience this high RAM usage. For me (who doesn't still have a LGOG, but is seriously thinking of buying one), it's the thing that matters most - if the lack of free RAM results in worse usage.
Otherwise, most efforts could do more harm than good - a task killer that kills an app which will restart seconds later is wasting RAM and battery instead of saving them.
I'd give priority to greenifying unruly apps you need often and freezing apps you rarely/never need but won't/can't uninstall (with Titanium Backup, or any other app that can freeze system apps) - always making sure you're not freezing some system app that will bring your phone to its knees. With this well configured, I'd say a task killer would only bennefit those of you that rarely use your phone. Everyone who often takes it out of their pocket and updates Facebook/Twitter or plays games should let Android take care of itself, as it will keep in memory the apps you've been using the most - as it should.
Don't use task killer apps, they aren't good for Android. Maybe something like a LMK Manager but you need root to change lmk.

M$ Windows does the same thing - if you have 2GB it uses only the half, if you have 8GB is use nearly 3,5-4GB. I think it preloads a few things including the most common used apps in memory perhaps?
Hi there,
I have the ZF2 with 4GB of ram. After a couple of days of usage, it seems impossible to lower the ram usage below 1.8GB even when I clear the cache of all apps.
However, when I restart the device, my ram usage is below 1GB.
I have uninstall or disabled every app I could without rooting. & I don't want to root now.
Nonetheless, I would like to keep the ram usage of my device as low as possible (2GB of ram use seems a lot to me, especially when I have one or two apps open)
Did you find a tricks or ways to keep 2gb or more ram free at all time ?
Thank you.
Simply, there is no clear way and those numbers are normal. The best memory management is with native linux, not yet available on zenfone 2.
What's the point of always having 2gb of free ram? RAM is completely useless if you aren't using it.

It's not a question of useful or useless. It's a question of is it possible and if yes, how.
Yes, keep the phone in deep sleep with all apps closed and disable everything in autostart , better yet, you can just power off the device
p.s: not even custom roms will run that low, I had cm12.1 with lg g3 3gb ram, I disabled basically everything and phone will still boot with at max 2gb free ram, maybe 2.2gb if you start killing launcher and sytem apps lol
4Gb ram with 2.2-3Gb free Ram is plenty for a cellphone. Its even plenty for a desktop unless you run hard core 3d games like crysis.
The lowest I have seen is 150Mb/1Gb usage with Nexus 7 v1 tablet yet it was hell slow. Note that the more Ram you have, the more the system will use it and cache in it. This will increase apps loading speed since they are directly loaded from Ram vs local storage.
I would love to have an app that lets you select what to cache in Ram, e.g. large high-resolution PDFs that take forever to open and load :crying: I have 300-800Mb PDFs that will take 1 min just to open.
Indeed, an option to decide what to cache would be great.
Can we expect less usage and caching with the 5.1 update or with a custom Rom?

Hello i have an asus ZenFone 2, 4gb ram ww2.20.40.90....i have not installed any apps without launcher and locker but always system eats up 2.3gb ram...pls anyone help me to free more ram....my phone is not rooted.
I think many users are have this issue
This is 5.0's memory leak issue
but this is not a problem
Close apps from auto start manager you are going to have more ram
Sorry for my english

Don't worry about it and let the os handle it! It's a big parinoia, that I too was was worried about in a time in when I first started android! Here's a good article :]

Your Zenfone will manage itself fine, it shuts down apps in background if the ram is needed elsewhere but if you have the 4gb version you have more than enough ram for most situations...
Shutting down the apps can actually slow down your phone as it has to reload everything from the start but if you have an app already started in memory it is can access and have the app ready quicker.
The 4gb of ram and memory management of the Zenfone2 actually put it ahead of the Samsung S6 and S6 edge when it comes to using multiple apps at once....
i have t2 ultra dual .
just rooted with kingroot.
need to know some good root apps.
common problems faced and reason for root is
Low internal space (main problem)
system lag sometimes
performance issues
network drops sometimes
Otherwise battery and everything just works fine.
Help appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
You're awesome.
Try link2sd app for linking sd card to your internal storage, it should help your memory issue (tutorials on how to link available, just google )
For performance and lag, I would recommend greenify, it hibernates apps which you may select, giving you free ram.

Download system app remover from play store delete unused system apps.. Download greenyfy and hibernate as many app as u can..
Dont use any power saver and du like something.. Dont use any cleaning tool like clean master because T2 has 400 mb catch memory after that it will automatically remove so there is no need of clean master and and dont use any ram booster because stop any app will causing unstablity..
Use stamina mode with all option check in setting..
Thanks man
