Is there anyway to change the build.prop file or anything to lower the low storage space from MB to lets say MB or MB? I can't even update any app right now because I only have MB left and that's ridiculous .
Hello,
So I just recently got my Nexus, and I'm really really loving it. I had a question about the RAM. I'm on stock un-rooted and I noticed I had a little less that 700 MB ram. I know that's for system or gpu or whatever so I'm ok with that.
What I'm confused about is, I'm currently using 400 MB of it. If I combine the totals from the "Running Apps" section plus what is in the "Cached" section, it doesn't come close to the total 400MB being used.
So where is the extra Ram being used from? How can I free some of it up?
I've been reading that task managers are a no-no for ICS, so I'm more curious about which apps are killing my ram.
Thanks in advance

Why would you want to?

Killing it how? Using it to make you phone react faster?

Well sure in theory make the phone run faster. I imagine having more free ram available to be used in the cached application section and not the "running application section" will help make apps load quicker too. My friend had a desire and the amount of ram she had did drastically effect her phone performance.
But also because I'm curious about where is that extra 200 or so MB of ram is being used from?
Linux shares ram within apps/processes in a very complex way where even the experts have difficulty explaining exact tallies on ram levels. This is why different apps report different free ram values like os monitor vs system panel vs stock settings etc. So i wouldnt wprry about how android OS shows your ram value in settings, its not gonna add up and its a tricky question to ask.

Hmm alright. So basically it's not something I should worry about? It's quite a large discrepancy. I guess I'll worry about it once I have errors that are "low ram" or something to that effect.
Thanks anyway
It's the discussion like there was in the galaxy s forum. The not displayed ram is used by the kernel it self and by the GPU. And besides it's a good thing to have a full ram in Android, because then many apps are pre loaded in the ram and can start faster this way.

Its always been like this on my android phones, i wouldnt worry. For example if you kill all current apps, you wont see free ram increase at the exact level of the total of all closed apps. Too much overlap and ram page sharing i think.
Don't worry about it. Some ROMs e. the stock ROM, don't have a seperate RAMDisk.
So, basicly, the ROM dumps some cached processes on to the RAM directly "clogging" it. If you however, have a custom ROM, eg. CynagonMod, the system uses half of the RAM it would use as a stock ROM, because cm uses a RAMDisk, which uses a minimal amount of space, on the device's memory.
But, there's absolutley nothing to worry about
Enjoy the phone and leave the RAM, as it is
Can anyone here tell me how to partition my sd card to create 1 ext4 partition to increase internal memry, 1 simple fat partition for daily use, and most importantly gto create 1 swap partition to increase my RAM and how to use it as RAM in galaxy fit ... Plz provide me a tutorial

The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SDcard. You can't partition it up like that.
Also, think you're in the wrong forum.
HI
I have some questions
First, whats wrong with the total memory in my device?
Xperia arc S
X-Gamer v2
Doomkernel v22
Baseband 64
The system memory manager shows only ~320 MB of total RAM. Yes, I know that some is shared with the GPU and some goes for the VM HS. But, why is in some other ROMs shows more than that? Even in JB/CM10 is around 380 MB!!
Do they have no VM? Or why is showing that amount?
Or is just kernel/ROM related the amount of RAM? Changing it will give me more RAM available? (Very usefull in games actually).
And, changing the VM Heap size in build.prop affects something? I've read that the default for the arc is 32MB, but i've changed it at 48MB.
Should i leave it at that? Or increase/decrease at some other value?
Thanks and sorry about my english

Only the RAM available to the user is shown. The part, which Android itself uses, is not shown.

Yeah, but, why it changes so much?
Like i said, in JB/CM10 they have around 380 MB (cos extra 20 MB are free from the 720p camera).
Its kernel dependant, VM values, or why cant i get something more close to it?
Thanks
Yeah that's something I noticed too.
Although ICS / JB / CM reserve more RAM for the system, total free RAM for apps is at about 200MB on both GB and JB, because GB somehow sucks 60MB more into nirvana.
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 ....
(sorry for bad english)

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.

Thats normal. I always use cleanmaster to clean the RAM!

thanks bro :good:
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.

I'm sorry to say the Galaxy watch active2 "Bluetooth" versions only have 768 MB of RAM...!!!
1.5 GB is for LTE versions...
