Hey guys,
Since I can't post in the developmental section I have to make a separate thread here.
Anyway I just started to use this rom 3.5.6. and noticed that some of my games are laggy!!
I also notice that there is only 150 mb free memory left on a fresh boot. Is there anyway to make available more ram??

It's not a internal memory which he is talking about...his problem is low ram..
Mate grab App named Android Assistant from market and see which how many apps are running at startup...you can also disable items you don't want running automatically on boot..
It's not Ram, if the app needed more memory, it would kil apps that it thinks you aren't using. Which kernel are you using? Stock kernel kills 3D games, try the Bricked kernel.
I'm using faux kernal, but i think it was a problem with doodle jump, where it didnt feel as smooth. I tried other games like modern combat, and its smooth as butter!!!
I've tested this ROM today, too. But in my opinion this ROM isn't as smooth as the others. Or even the other HD ROMs before. Sliding between the homescreens was laggy.
Maybe it's the same issue why you have performance problems within games. But take a look at the kernel section within the HD thread.
The advice seems to be not to worry about free RAM—the more your phone is using, the better it will run. Free RAM isn't helping you.

So i just rooted the phone and installed the virtuous unity rom. When i installed the rom i assumed it would take care of the ram and cpu problems which is why i didn't really care much. But since it didn't solve the problem, i'm starting to wonder where the hell all the cpu and ram power is going. On idle i only have about 150mb of ram available and my cpu is 50% in use. Is this normal? Can anything be done about it?
It's also very noticeable.
Strange.
Are you controlling the running services and application-tasks manually ?
I usually have around 400MB free ram and cpu usage is just on the normal range, and an ordinary task manager does the job.

is your phone running slowly? 150Mb is loads or RAM, have you ever run out?
custom roms tend to make more use of RAM for caches and to improve performance etc....especially if you try sense 3.0 based rom which by nature will be larger.
How did you manage to get 400mb!?!?!?!?! What rom are you running?
It does lag quite a bit at times which seems to go away after the use of a task killer but i don't use task killers anymore as i failed to see the point in them.
also why does the phone claim to have 768mb when i can only see about 611mb. Is there some memory reserved for the os or something?

You can't get 400Mb that must be a typo! unless you've created a Senseless ROM.
Even when I kill ever process that runs using the the fast reboot market app I still get less than 350Mb!
I have over 400MB free, stock ROM, Settings take nearly 18MB, so my guess is about 418MB free. Based on stock app manager. I have lots of apps, 3G Watchdog running and five full home screens. I had very same situation on previous DS. How much do you have?

Sure not! Tried both roms and they work really FAST!
so the ram available is okay, but the 50% CPU is a problem i guess(i dont have a program to check that)
If you fell that your phone is slow even after wipe and flashing a new rom it might be a hardware issue.

Check image in attachment.
That's the memory when i kill all unnecessary crap running.
With the needed apps running it varies let's say 350-380MB.

:O WOW, maybe is time for me to back to stock!, joking but wow...well, looking in that screen ( on settings) i get
185 MB used and 405 MB free

Hello which rom do you prefer as far as speed goes? I've used both and I'm having trouble deciding on one. Instercoin locks my gps so quickly and seems like everything is working perfectly while leedroid tends to be a little quicker but I had trouble with the no options to mount disk drive when usb was plugged in. Anyway what do you guys think to push my opinion one way or the other? Thanks.
ive tested EVERY rom/kernel available so far, and IMO, Insertcoin v2.1 A2.3.4 with unity v6 kernel is the best out there, on average i have 170mb free ram, smooth as hell, and still running 1.2ghz
using it with thyparency mod for 6x5 app menu, this fone is just how i want it...for the time being
How is your battery life?
Hi, when it comes to ROMs, I'd always test for myself
Just try them both and see which one you prefer, what works for me won't necessarily work for you

how did you get that much ram with insertcoin ? i tried every-possible way to go beyond 224mb never succeeded (even with launcherpro, adw and even golauncher) any tips ?
InsertCoins has been the smoothest out there for me. Just seems to get most things right and is very responsive IMHO

You should specify if the free RAM is reported from HTC's Task Manager or from Settings>Applications>Running services.
Running Services always shows more "free RAM" compared to HTC's Task Manager.
InsertCoin FTW....!
@omar ur right the task manager is showing 200 while running services showing 311
So which is accurate ?

On any Sense rom, full wipe + install, the only way I can get above even 150mb ram is to kill everything in the task manager.

Since the running programs one is from Android & is the same as non HTC phones, i'd go would that.

Well that depends onbwhat you have running in the background. A stock rom does use alot of ram due to sense.
I got the. Runny 3d sence. 3.5 or whatever its called
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
That will do it. Sense is a huge ram hog. And 3.5 was not made to work for our device so it tends to take more ram. Not a whole lot you can do.
Also you might want to pay close attention it every aspect of the rom your running. Know the sense version, os version and other info is important
Hmmm, I'm running the same ROM, and I have 357 free.
** Just an afterthought: Have you downloaded the latest 11.1 Kernel for RCMIX 3D?

I don't know nothing about no kernel. Thing so I don't mess with that
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Free RAM does not matter. Android framework, Sense, installed apps (services) all take away from it. Android manages its RAM. Just ignore it. If it really bugs you install a Task Killer. But.... Task Killers IMO are uneeded and cause more issues than help. Not to start a task killer debate. Some swear by them and some don't. I am the latter.
There's an article that explains how Android runs better with ram being used than free.

Best way to choose rom for you is to check out what the roms offer, for me one is best for you maybe something totally different, so check out the threads and make a choice, if you don't want to do even this its better to stick with stock.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
everyone has a different perception of what's best so asking others won't help.
Make a list of what features you want in the rom then check in the different rom's thread. Select the one which has the most features from your list and that rom would be the best for you

most stable has no bugs
i wanna rom wid no bugs and full lworking camera and other features thnks for ur repliies
if u can provide me llinks that wll be awsome
in that case, i would recommend you cyanogenmod 9.1 nightly build 11 by ayushrox. i, personally, have used it.
what you will love is, without any calibaration or battery saver app, you get 9-10 hours of battery backup with moderate internet usage (2G-3G auto switch).
for me, the camera crashed 4-5 times, the first time i flashed it. (camera caputers more clearer pictures) but, later all worked fine. i found usb tethering to be a bit unstable.
still you, will love it. less ram usage. increased internal space. hardware acceleration. it's lovely bargain. :good:
no fm radio !! :crying: i love listening to local fm radio stations.

I played Temple run & Dead Trigger.
Temple Run needs spontaneous touch gesture input & Dead Trigger requires the same but, also has to provide high-end graphcis as much supported by our gpu, simultaneously.
Now, in cm9 rom, the processor & ram management are done alongwith hardware acceleration (ics's legacy feature). So, Temple Run performed good. And, Dead Trigger impressed me with it's fast graphics rendering (high end games like this, tend to eat up your battery, but the cm9 rom lasted the battery for longer times :thumbup: )
So, overall verdict is, high end / hd / large games will take some time loading first, once you start playing, you will love the experience.
Though i would recommend using Advanced Task Killer (or something else to kill all your running apps), so as to free up ram for the game. I use the Game Speeder feature in Advanced Mobile Care app. It does the same thing in one click & optimizes your phone too.

priyansh03 ... can you please provide the link of what you are saying ?
and btw, htc sense 4.0 is a firmware (UI). it cannot be a rom, because rom is an operating system.
the rom can be based on gb / ics / jb with htc sense 4.0 as UI.

Download any CM ROM and don't install GAPPs.
You must try different ROMs and choose the one that suits you.
For Most RAM free, I think SlimBean is your best choice. Just see the attached screenshot.

I imagine you would only notice a difference if you're zipping in and out of multiple apps. And the little differences in amounts of RAM used would have little real world usage differences.
