hi everyone
Before, when I had a stock gingerbread rom and the task manager showed that I had 856 mb of ram. After I had flashed the new cyanogen mod 10 (jelly bean 4.1.2), it is now showing only 788. Could someone tell me why this has happened and if it can be fixed? thanks, and sorry if this is in the wrong category, I'm not sure where this question should be posted xD

Hi! I'm new here, but i am a bit experienced in stuff...
Anyway, when i got my Tab 2 7.0, i did flash it to Cyanogen. Now, i am on RC2
Now, i am stuck on a question: "Should i get ParanoidAndroid 3+ or stay on CyanogenMod?"
I *can't* find any clear opinions, bug list, installation instructions or kernels... ( I know what is Factory Reset, but "Wipe Everything"? )
So i ask your help, guys. ParanoidAndroid seems an A+++ rom for me, as i like costumization. No, do not ask me to get Xposed, it's already hard as it is for me.
So thanks guys!
Full wipe just means clear the caches in clockworkmod
There is data and dalvik and no... it will not delete your personal files but yes installing paranoid will delete your apps

They also recommend formatting the internal sdcard, which i sometimes do, because it is easy to end up with multiple 0 directories, factory reset skips formating data/media.

Yeah, its a pain when using foldermount and titanium backup, if you have the extra directories. Data/media/0/0 and so on . I'm Sure they can be a bother in other situations as well. .

Paranoid. It has all the features of CM that you would need and its hybrid settings.

Personally, i like ROMs which incorporate paranoid aspects.

Choose both, boot it with blackhawk next kernel :thumbup:
The only kernel with dual boot support for the tab 2
Send from invader Zim's spaceship.
search on internet for Rom called jelly bam its awesome and its a combine pac Rom.
it uses latest cyanogenmod build and have paranoid android incorporated.
it will be best for u .i think so
I flashed paranoidandroid on my Tab2-p3100 but i had problem with the mic, which was not working at all.
I never flashed cyanogenmod on my tab (may be I am afraid of the term "nightly" makes it seem very unstable, you know!, though, they say they are as stable as they come).
Now there is this PAC-ROM , claims to have all-in-one features of all the roms together, i flashed it as well, it was also a good rom to test, but there were some bugs in it (you can refer to the thread), now I am using Adishakti's Dark-Fantasy-2 rom, which is a modded paranoidandroid+AOSP+ maybe caynogenmod ROM but it is really very good and stable, least of glitches i noticed elsewhere
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212582
That would be my opinion about it.

DarkFantasy is PAC ROM with Sony launcher and some eye/ear candy.
Please, I beg you, try cyanogenmod. If your uncomfortable tyr the cyanogenmod RC 2. It is the most stable ROM I have used. I have used to for almost 3 months now. Since I am a flashaholic i flash other ROM's often but i find cyanogenmod the best and I always go back to it.
Try it. Please.

I agree.
and Sony things are just mods that you can flash in a Rom.

I agree, also. I think it is funny how people go crazy over ROMs which are just other roms modified to the makers preferences. Not to say the makers do not deserve credit for their hard work, but why not take a good ROM and mod it to your own liking. Just an opinion.

Wow, so many comments on my "2cents"
Maybe my comment was perceived as "noob rant"
I had some experience with cyanogenmod in the past with some older phones (gingerbread ones) and definitely i was hooked to it then. But like I said, I was just afraid to try it on my Tab because of that dreadful suffix to it, and Luigi, your comment has really moved me
I am a member at cyanogenmod forum for last 2 years by the same name and I think on this forum too by the same name.
I actually had nothing much to post on xda previously because almost everything I wanted to know was already posted and i used this forum's knowledge to flash friends' phones mostly and had no experience of anything i used so nothing to post, but, since I now own a Galaxy tab P3100 and most of the time I am reading this section about the tab, I just wanted to share what i thought appropriate, that's all.
Thanks for pointing out that the rom I was talking about is a modded PAC-ROM, and I think what one flashes and uses is a matter of personal choice, i just shared my opinion as i think the OP asked for that.
Thanks for the comments
Alright installed cyanogenmod "latest nightly":good:
Working furiously since last 3 hrs installing all my apps all over again
Cleaned my internal memory (wiped it)
Maybe i'll come to like it.

Actually I had a huge backup of applications but I happen to read the SGT2 cyanogenmod nightly thread and right there in the first or second post users are warned against using titanium backup to restore apps. And I thaought, what the hell, maybe I need to wipe Internal memory clean from time to time so why not now.
Somewhere in the forum a new app backup software is suggested, "helium backup"! Any experience with that?
So now we are going way off topic
Back to the topic, after using the new ROM whole night (seriously I was on a night shift!), I found out it to be lot better than someone else's modded version, I used "PimpMyRom" to my heart's content!!!!!

Yes, I used pimpmyrom to add bravia2 engine, the sound tweaks, gps mod for better GPS lock, except for the quality of video, all other things improved as expected. I could not notice difference in video quality.
Gprs was also improved, no 3g where I live.

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

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.

I was Updating the firmware via Odin to MG8 but got the NAND write failed error while flashing the sboot.bin file, unfortunately i checked the NAND erase all and got stuck into the boot logo. I then downloaded the 4.2.2 version Russian Update from samsung-updates.com and flashed it via Odin. Everything went right and the phone is alive again.
I was surfing through forums about the 4.2.2 updates and it was all around that 4.2.2 includes performance issues but i doubt that. The firmware is sometimes laggy and even the Benchmarck score has fallen from 11k to 10k which obviously is not a good thing after a "performance" update. Apps seem loading slowly but every other thing is fine. There were also sayings that the TouchViz will create some issues with 4.2.2 update and that the Galaxy S2 Plus I9105 is the first Galaxy Device to get this update.
Anyone of you experiencing some same? and if any developer know some bug fixes please do contribute...
I have no problem with the 4.2.2 rom. Still on MG8. Was the first build that came out. But first think i do was root and debloat the stock rom. And i also install xtreme core and xtreme booster. Very good work for ram management like v6 supercharger but easier to use. So every time i have used only the half of ram. That means the device is very responsible and snappy. And battery live allways over 3 days. (Not so many 3G use, or music, most use it like a PHONE)

there are issues with some apps, force closing on facebook and facebook messenger... RAM is doing good in 4.2.2
MG8? That's only for the P version. Lucky you it didn't hardbrick your phone, mate
No issues with the Russian MH4 for me. In fact, the 4.2.2 totally eliminates the slight laginess I had with 4.1.2. Battery life is definitely better.
I don't care about benchmark scores as it doesn't reflect real life usage but according to a thread here, users have posted about their scores increasing compared to 4.1.2.
But, like digitaliban, I am rooted and I've debloated a lot of preinstalled stuff.

Sorry man that you flash MG8 it is only for P Version. I don't check that you are on non P Version. Flash again with the right rom for your device. I hope it works for you.

Same as freezing but you uninstall completely. Via Titanium Backup or Root Uninstaller. Or you could just use a root file explorer and go to system - > app and delete the apks and odex of the stuff you want to remove. A lot of the Samsung stuff run at boot, so it does make a difference removing them. Otherwise, just freeze them.

after flashing 4.2.2 again and a reset factory about 250 Mb is missing
it's like the ram thing
web sites say it have 1GB of ram but when you buy the phone it's about 700MB,so what happened to 300MB? "it's used by system" they answer.
OK,but 500MB of this 700 MB is always full.
i don't care about amount of ram as long as my phone works fine and don't know how much is good for better performance and i know these task killers does nothing.
but what is about this 1GB of ram so important?this is not a PC, it runs it's OS or not?
There are quite a lot of write ups you can find explaining how Android manages it's processes and RAM management.

Hey guys!
I'm using stock 4.2.2 for a week almost. Flashed it with Odin, absolutely no problems.
The rom works fast, smooth and the battery life is great ..
BUT
My phone is using about 500-600 RAM and that leaves me just about 250(+-) free ...
Is this normal? And if not, what coud be the problem?
The phone is not rooted but I think if i root it and get rid of all bloatware ram will be released.
Here are the apps installed by me:
Facebook
Ebay
Lookout
Livescore
Messenger for FB
MX player
Shazam
Skype
WhatsApp
Clean master
Blackmarket alpha
Sine Mora
Advanced Task killer

With Android, too much free RAM is wasted RAM. You don't really have to worry about it unless you're constantly down to, like, 20mb or something. The way Android manages processes is different from a PC.

as long as ur battery improved,i don't seems to see any problem with ram increased. i have same amount of ram usage as yours,yet playing dungeon hunter 4 not a problem for the device.
like corduroy84 said,free ram is wasted ram,unless you're dealing with battery drain,then u have to debloat/freeze some apps.
