Hi everyone!
I have a Huawei Ascend G510, which is running JB 4.1.1.
It has 512 MBs of RAM, but I only can use 393, so the kernel is using 119 MBs of it.
IMO it's too much.
I met one one my friends yesterday, he owns a Prestigio PAP5000 DUO, which has 512 MBs of RAM, and runs JB 4.1.1 too, but its free RAM is 473 MBs.. So in his device the kernel is using only 39 MBs of RAM..
How this is possible?
On his device everything is much smoother, and the multitasking is much better, thanks to the +80 MBs of free RAM.
If our phones have the same amount of RAM and system, why my phones kernel eats much more RAM?
Is there any way to decrease my phones kernel RAM usage?
Thanks!

there is a new cm10.1 rom which works on the g510 and is much faster than the stock rom. is your phone running the stock rom?

Hello, I'm maintaining a thread with values of reserved RAM for many devices. Could someone tell me how many MB of total RAM is reported in the system? Just type free in terminal emulator or use one of the many utilities. I'm looking for total RAM, not just the available one. Thanks

total usable RAM: 512 MB
system regonizeble: 345 MB aprox.
current free usable RAM: depends on your process, usually after reboot and all clear is about 100 - 200 MB aprox.
Thanks, I really hoped around 400 even the N1 had a bit more..

Thats because part of the 512mb is used for the gpu. So if 345 is used by system then 167mb is used for the gpu. Thus it looks like its little. But trust me it boosts your graphics intensive stuff.

you must first understand ANDROID's memory management
unused memory is wasted memory
Hey guys!
I'd like to know how much RAM do you have on your ROMs? Especially on AOSP ones.
I'm running Virtuous Sensless, and despite it being "sensless" I got only about 150mb RAM free (normal usage). When using task killer it's even up to 250MB (sometimes, often 200MB). And what about you? Don't you think it's sometimes quite too little?
I usually have 130-150 free during heavy use. Sensation takes a bunch of ram for gpu, and depending on your rom, features like forcing launcher into memory, hw acceleration for smooth, fast UI on dual core etc.
Result - fast, lag-free, slick os and apps.
I rarely worry about free ram these days, and enjoy my device the greater for it!

Around 145MB.
Around 140 mb
RUNNING ARHD 6.5 senseless(done some cleaning and ran a script): 265MB ram with maps(8mb), hotmail(11mb), vlc(4.2mb), settings(25mb), htc location(6.3)mb, android keyboard(14mb), media(6.2mb) in background and phase beam(6.5) as live wallpaper.
I have 144 MB with Google map (10MB) and android services running. Running ARHD 6.3 XE.
as everywhere ram is Noticed 512Mb but why we have only 390~ MB ??
is rest of mb ram use for system hack ? or 512Mb ram is just fake rumor ?
Use AOSP roms like CM10 and you will get you 512 MB RAM back. Stock ROM reserves RAM for itself.

Cm10 also have only 380~ MB Ram :'(
Remaining is used as video memory.

Remaining RAM is allocated for various system tasks which cannot be accessed by your applications and hence it doesn't even show as part of the available free RAM.
Think of your 100 GB HDD. Now partition it into 80 GB for yourself and 20 GB for someone else. You cant use the 20 GB. It's in use for something else already.
thanks to everyone Now i Understand

Sad, but that's the truth. Only 396MB RAM!
That RAM does a decent job, if lot of apps is not installed.
Ram is 512 mb but some of it is used for graphics processing..I guess......it is a decent phone I'm currently using it with no problems

Hi i want to buy a HTC Explorer because is cheap. But im not pretty sure about how much free/avaliable memory have.
First of all, i want to know, how much RAM have in stock (before and after installing a lot of apps); and how much RAM have rooted (not with custom rom) closing some no needed process. And with a Custom Rom Like CM?
Thanks for the answers Sorry for my english

I don't know i not playing tahts games. I play Recing thunder and i set in cpu 320MHz and i not have lags. Use JaggysRom its very good rom. It is the best like stock
Buy this phone. It is very good but very little popular
You can get around 350mb free ram in 2.3 and 250 in 4.0 (after clearing ram) it can play mostly all games like mc3,mc4 gangster Rio etc without a single lag an awesome phone
