Available ram on ICS as opposed to GB - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Just flashed Sky ICS and I have to admit its amazing. But I have noticed available ram to be substantialy lower then with GB. ICS hovers around 200mb and GB is around 480 to 530 mb available. Anyone else experiancing this?

Ics probably caches more available memory for performance purposes. Nothing to worry about

I have noticed that free ram is down, also. But the rom I am running is so much smoother I don't worry about...

Memory management

Had this been fixed by custom roms or is still really aggressive where apps reload once resumed? Its the deciding factor on if I get this phone or not.

A lot of that has been taken care of with the update. Assuming you're talking about the AT&T

First ever working Jelly Bean port for ARMv6 phone!

Just days since the Jelly bean source code release, developers Maclaw and Marcin1411 have managed to compile AOSP Jelly bean for an ARMv6 phone, Samsung Galaxy Gio.

This is really a great feat! I never thought ARMv6 phones can ever run ICS. But these guys have built both CM9 and Jelly bean for ARMv6 phones having only 280 mb ram and 180 mb internal memory. Hats off to them!

Awesome news. I'm absolutely loving how quickly JB is getting out there. Developers are really psyched for this one.

800Mhz. I don't think it will work well with 175 MB ram. It wont be stable i think, or it may not even boot. Gio has a 3.2 inch screen. I am not sure about any minimum requirement for screen size.

Look at the atrix, it's being held back because nvidia hasn't released the source code for tegra 2 which sucks.

Android 4.0 RAM Requirement

What is the optimal amount of RAM a phone must have to run Ice Cream sandwhich efficently?
I think ics requires at least 1gig. Custom roms may be able to run on less but it's not ideal.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Having used a Droid OG with 256mb of RAM on ICS, I can honestly say it sucks balls. There's virtually no multitasking, everything closes.
But 512mb seems to be good nonetheless. The HTC Aria with 384mb of RAM has a pretty good ICS ROM as well...
As long as its stock ICS, it doesn't require too much RAM at all. 512mb seems to be a good, solid amount however.

Optimus 2X is coming out with ICS soon (finally).
It has 384MB ram available, 128 goes to the GPU.
Will report back after it's out, but it should be fine.

That's 512, I think were talking about total RAM here.

I know, but more attention to finer details never killed anyone
Plus it's worthwhile mentioning how much is restricted to GPU usage, some phones might use less, or more. So saying 512MB as a blanket statement isn't going to cover all phones.

You can say that again. My x8 is barely coping. 168mb of ram on a good day
Ics runs smooth on legeng with 300+ ram. Don't know the exact value.
Mororola mailstome had 512 mb of ram and this enought for ICS and JB.
While there is no official requirement (and there are ports to the G1 with a beefy 96mb of ram) its accepted that 512mb would be required to run it well

i think that the requirement is approxymatly between 300 because my galaxy ace work very nice with 278 ram 4.04 :laugh:

[Q] Problem with RAM of HTC one S after flash maximushd rom

Hi everyone,
Im using HTC one S (S4 chip) with maximusHD rom. I checked the total of RAM by using Hardware information function under setup and using Antutu Benchmark and I have got 2 results are different. One is 1gb, one is 782mb like in attached picture.
HTC published that HTC one s come with 1gb of ram. So any one can tell me where is fact of my ram. If it is 782mb so how I can get enough RAM to 1gb.
Thanks all in advanced
Sum the 2 in the second picture.

HTC One S ville it's 1gb ram.
Buy a phone with 2,3 gb ram.
I think all ram I have is 782mb and 119 is free (used =782-119)
I also used Cpuz to check and get result as picture. Total is 782 and free is 129. I have calculated % of free by 129/782 =~16% like in the pics.
I sure that my 782mb ram is total ram, not used ram.
So I want ask where is remaining my ram
Thanks

Maximus HD is a SENSE rom. Ram eater. Uninstal or deactivate what you don't need.
Or better try a 4.4.2 rom.
I think you can ignore the total RAM amount. It might be that the OS cannot see it all because the kernel reserved some.
You still have 1 GB but not all of it is accessible by the apps.
Take my comment with a grain of salt as I've not looked at the source code.

Is there any point in zram?

On our device? As we have 2gb ram anyway. Been reading about it and think it's a bit pointless?

It certainly helped little on my 1GB S3 but yeah I think it's pretty much pointless on our device. I haven't bothered trying it myself.
On my Xperia Arc S with 512mb RAM it helped quite a bit but on the Nexus 5 its pointless as its hard enough to use up 2gb of RAM.
