Nexus S is at 512mb ram, I believe.
Its 512. But some of the ram is being used by the system, that's why it doesn't show

The missing ram is not missing, its allocated to graphics and system as far as I know.

Dear All,
i have one question. that we have ROM: 512 Mb and RAM 256Mb
when we install ROM its goes where? in ROM or in RAM..?
It goes into ROM. RAM - Random Access Memory. When apps run, they use RAM.
What's the difference between ROM and the internal memory??

In names?
Well, actually there is no differences in that case. ROM in
g3 is a internal memory. But that 512 mb is used for system, kernel, cache and also for your apps.

RAM is memory the system has access to .. FAST memory to load/run apps etc.. whereas ROM is sorta like the phones harddrive

Ram: Random access memory.
All apps shift to this when the are running. This is used to store temporary data and other things...
ROM: sorta like your PC's hd.... stores everything!
had i not been a new user.. i would have not answered this... please hit thanks!!! i wanna unlock the features
ROM is internal memory. RAM is memory available for temporary that apps need while they are processed..
Consider reading ABOUT ROM! and ABOUT RAM!
Google is great!

Hey guys. My phone is using too much ram lately. I have zram and SD cache enabled but my available ram dips to 81mb or even 60. I do clear up my recent apps but still have almost no ram. And usually I only have Nova Launcher, Chrome, facebook and music running.
I have faux kernel, 3.33 firmware and ViperS 1.10
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
What version of faux kernel do you have? And was it installed with Yank555 Aroma?
Some people had complained about it, but the reason was the LMK values - the numbers by which the android OS decides to kill applications when the system is low on memory.
Also, do you have zram enabled? Perhaps hard deep as well?
All these settings could affect the RAM..

There were issues Yank fixed in more recent versions.

Linux utilizes free ram for buffers and file system cache etc.

Linux manages Memory very well. It, on most systems, tries to be almost 100% full Cache, DBC, ...... It's different to Windoze, etc. Different paradime.
That said I have used ATK to see what's been started BUT DO NOT use to to automatically kill stuff. Most things will re-start and you'll end up using more juice from the battery. If there are apps running that you don't use delete the buggers.
I turned zram off in aroma and now my phone won't boot

Could you please post the output of the 'free' command from a terminal?
Also, did you flash faux's kernel over another kernel by chance? If so, there might be some previous kernel leftovers which gets in the way. See what files there are in the /system/etc/init.d directory, and post it in here.
One last question, did you install b12 using the aroma installer?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Yeah it was with aroma. I installed it over bricked 1.4. But I flashed Sebastian earlier today and when I flash b12 again I get stuck at the splash screen so I can't provide you the log.
And also, with faux it just shows 578 mb of ram in task manager but with seb of shows 584

Have you wiped correctly before flashing the kernel ? Can you boot to recovery,hboot? If so have you made an backup ? Waiting for your input sir and well go from there..

Sorry I meant to say that faux's kernel wont boot, like it wont show the boot animation since after the splash screen goes away the screen is balck and it goes to the splash screen together in a infinite loop. This all started after i flashed it over sebs kernel earlier, so I'll get a fresh install of my system with bricked and flash faux again. My phone is perfectly fine. Ill report back.
Installed Faux again and it booted this time, still have the same memory problem

Alright and one other thing i tend to swype my apps i don't need but when i open up my task killer app (advancev task killer ) it doesn't update the ram so my guess is maybe it isn't freeing ram really..
And it happen to me once ive got down to 85mb used task killer and was running again all smooth..

I'm using CM so system is only a couple hundred MB with the rest free. My data is only so large because I've dumped 1.5 GB of music on there. But still, not being able to install a 30 MB app because of insufficient space when there's over 300 MB doesn't make any sense.

Simple the phone needs 500MB to run the OS. The other 1.5GB is for all of your apps.

It is still stupid they did not pool all 2gig together so the system could go over.

So it is normal for an S3 to report 1580mb of RAM on 4.4.2? Even electricsheeps Android System Info says there is 1580mb of RAM. Also only shows 12.9gb of storage.

Ok, it's a SWAP. Those are not suggested on ViperS forum. Dev states that the phone gets laggy with use but other users swear by it. They use different one however ...Turbo Boost or MultiSwap. Maybe you can look into those?
I couldn't find that multiswap and turbo boost in play store plz give link
By the way Thanks

You should be having swap functionality in your kernel. :good:
Your kernel needs to support swap RAM. So search for a new kernel and flash it. This doesn't increase RAM. Swap memory is used when the amount of physical memory (RAM) is full. If the system needs more memory resources and the RAM is full, inactive pages in memory are moved to the swap space i think . While swap space can help machines with a small amount of RAM, it should not be considered a replacement for more RAM. SwapRAM is located on your sdcard which probably has lower access time than your physical RAM.
