Hi everybody,
the new phone is great so far...
When go to Menu-Settings-Applications and click on Running on the bottom I see RAM stats. The readings are : 173 MB used and 383MB free. Adding them together getting 556MB. Isn't Desire S quoted to have 768MB of RAM???
heh ... mine currently adds up to 542.
cache and system reserved memory are not visualized
well... is there any app where you can check RAM ??? The ROM is 1.1Gb which is OK (main reason getting rid of Desire std) but really need to know if there's any "restriction" regarding RAM.
@heavyhms: I don't think cache and system reserved memory could eat up 200MB+ of RAM...
Taskpanel reports it as 611MB for me. But yeah, even the DHD only has 623MB of usable RAM.

Thanx for the enlighting ...
So if D HD and D S having 600+MB of RAM (from quoted 768) then poor SEX10... quoted RAM is 384MB...
But SE X10 does not have sense ...
Also my DS RAM adds up to 559MB, so I'm guessing the rest must me cache and SR...
Most i have is almost 600MB.
System Panel reports:
/system 549.2MB
/data 1156.5MB
/cache 295.3MB
/mnt/sdcard 7572MB
So cache should be in /cache right? So what's actually using the "lost" RAM? Is it Internal System Processes? But it doesn't really add up to the total RAM.
Also, every time i open System Panel, there's always around 100MB of RAM available. I believe if there's a shortage of memory, it just puts some unused apps in the /cache.
Do correct me if i'm wrong.
+! always noticed that in android.. extra ram is cached for faster performance...?
Ion my sgs 2, i have 1Gb RAM, but only 800mb + altogether in system settings!
So the cache & SRM along with Sense UI. That makes me think how to get rid of Sense UI...
However,phone is smooth and fast...

Indeed it is. And I have not been using a task manager either, the OS is doing a very good job handling stagnant applications while maintaining a buffer of unused memory I use Tasker to automate several tasks, and Minimalistic Text for custom widgets (some invoking Tasker tasks), and even with all that in the background I have not yet had a slow down.

Is there anyone who can create a RAM Hack or Apps 2 SD on the Qtechnology Sense UI rom because all apps install on the internal mem of phone instead of the sd card which uses about 68mb! also the ram hack will also prevent Lag and leave more room for apps since htcsense.apk sucks up all the RAM. Just a suggestion to possibly fix the lag on the Hero/Sense UI Roms
Hero roms with the apps normally stored (with apps2sd) on /system/sd/app_s instead in /system/app are MUCH FASTER. The internal memory is faster than a partition on the sd card, no matter what. I like what ccyrowski and manup456 have done with their sensehero 1.4 rom: (their changelog follows)
SenseHERO-v1.4 - Themed and Unthemed
*Move all system apps internal to speed things up (like before). Free memory will be lower. This is not a bad thing.
*Updated user.conf by MikeTaylor00. Appears to fix the reboots and wake up issues.
*Updated theme by Manup456 (BIG PROPS!)
*Increased dalvik heap size
*adjusted mic sensitivity
SAME AS BEFORE (ALL THAT HERO GOODNESS)

Another rom that did this was maxisma's roms back in the 1.6-1.8 days.
These roms put all of the htc/default apps like rosie, messaging, browser, calendar, etc. on the internal memory, but still allow for apps2sd for all of your market apps, etc.
This is especially helpful for those who don't have a class 6 sd card, but will also help the class 6 users as well, as the internal memory is faster even than a class 6.
The goal of this thread is to invent a method to "convert" hero roms to use this layout of apps.
I think ever hero does that now

sorry about caps, too lazy to fix it now. But some heros use apps_int
every hero does the system apps on internal? no, theyre all on SD... except for two listed...

However the directory apps_s exists in all the hero roms.
I don't even know why some of you are still even using hero.
1.5 is old and hero runs slow on these other phones that were not made for hero.
true... but what about hero 2.1?
Hi,
is there any way to free up more RAM on the xt720? I only got about 40-50MB left (from the 256) after a factory reset... After loading some apps onto the phone, the working speed is just terrible, lags and waiting for widgets to appear included...
Ram drops to about 30MB, ATK is running wild... not realy satisfying...
While going through the XDA News, I found an interesting article. It has some lines to add to the build.prop that removes the recents lag and also helps ram management. It was for the Note 4, and someone also said it worked on the S6. So I tried it on my S4 I9505 and it also worked Here is the link to the news article.
You Can Optimize Your Note 4’s Recents Menu & RAM
Make sure to read all the article and threads linked in the article before making any changes... you do this by your own choice remember. I nor XDA will be responsible for irresponsible editing or bootloops or your phone falling in love with and iPhone...
Like I said it works on my phone. I can't promise it will work on your phone but make sure to back up your build.prop before making any changes... enjoy
Minumum background apps 8 , maximum 70 . These settings need to be optimised for our phone considering it only has 2 gb ram and not 3 gb. Theres also settings for minimum free ram available i believe , that has to be scaled down as to permit the minimum background apps in ram , else it will contradict and kill them for free ram . Considering the cpus are different , kernel is different with different instructions , they might not even work on S4
Guys i am going to give you all my little knowing tips for performance which will help you to use your phone like you want.
we know in the phone there is two apps running system one is single tasking and another is multi tasking
Single tasking:- where you can use one app in one time but in android can be use 2apps also in single tasking, i have only 289mb Ram but i.love single tasking cause its so smooth no laggy so i changed my dalvik.vm.heapsize=64mb to 128mb its so smooth no laggy you can use high RAM using apps no force close... for example i have sgy s5360 i want to play 8pool game but new updated 8pool game force close after 8pool logo but i changed my dalvik.vm.heapsize=128mb its working like butter
multi tasking:- where you can use more apps in one time if you love multitasking then you can manage your RAM how much mb you want to devide per apps i mean if you have total 289mb RAM then minimum 32mb is good for multi tasking make your dalvik.vm.heapsize=32mb its good for multitasking you can use your more apps in one time but sometimes its laggy and can't use high RAM using apps..too much force close
procedure: your phone should be rooted,use any root explorer,mount rw and edit build.prop you can find it in system folder now find code (dalvik.vm.heapsize=64mb) and change it which you want only change 64 to any size comparing your RAM size and save it,reboot yoyr phone done
battery tricks :- use cpu manager and change governer...my best cpu setting is (max. freq. =max available min. freq=312 onedemand+noop)
note: do a cwm backup 1st i am not responsible for any softbrick,bootloop but i am sure it will work try it once
