[Q] Ram,rom and micro sd question

I'm getting this phone soon but just a couple questions.
Ive heard that the sensation has low available ram issues (probably sense?) but when/if a stock rom comes that should be fixed right?
Also since the avalible rom is pretty low. Would a class 10 micro sd be good for running data2sd (once we have root) were the whole data partion is on the sd.
is class 10 faster then the built in rom?

Having class10 won't make such a big difference (I purchased a class10 16Gb card and did not see any improvement compared to my class4) except that it will be faster to place big files (movies, etc) on the card
Concerning RAM, it's true that stock ROMs don't really manage it well, mainly because they start many apps in the background. Some can be killed, some will always come back after killed.
So once I've killed the useless apps after a fresh reboot, I can get a maximum of 350Mo free RAM, that tend to go to an average 250Mo after some hours of use.
Android 2.3 is not that bad in managing RAM (despite stock ROMs are) so I had low ram having a visible impact on something only once, when wanting to play Tekken 3 with Fpse and realized it was lagging because of low ram. My sensation was not laggy, only Fpse was, it demands much ressoruces! (I hadn't rebooted my Sensation for 3 days, that was the reason for low ram....now, I reboot it every 2 days, and no more problem)
So RAM is ok, if it gets kinda low, you won't notice it, and Android will tend to release ram afterwards, and once we'll have custom roms, it will be huge!

[Q] nexus 5 ram consumption and process stats

I got my nexus 5 for almost 2 weeks now and I am still thinking why does my nexus consumes a lot of memory, most of the apps that I have are social apps and a few photography apps but it consumes almost 1.5 gb of my ram and when I look at the process stats it shows that there was a time that my memory went to a super low status ( correct me if I am wrong about this one) please see my attached photos from my nexus 5. My nexus 5 is still on its stock rom and not rooted yet.

This is precisely what memory is for. Memory stores the processes and services you use regularly to allow them to be retrieved quickly when you need them. It's very normal to have over 1.5 used. It's lower when you reboot as those processes haven't run yet buy as soon as they do, they'll fill memory.
When you're memory is close to "full", Android starts killing the processes to maintain optimum levels.
If your memory is empty , it's useless. There's nothing wrong here

thank you for the explanation that gave me a clearer understanding about the android's ram.

Yep my nexus 4 is the opposite. The memory never goes above 1gb. As soon it starting reaching 1gb; it starts killing processes. I am happy nexus 5 uses it all the way.

I seem to have a high ram usage

I thought I had a lean running Note 5 but I see that out of 3.58 GB, 2.64 GB is being used. I have used the Debloater program to turn off as much as I could . I have Greenify working to control that aspect of usage.
I'm curious what other Note 5 owners find as far as standard Ram usage.
Thanks

After all my disabled packages and after a good day of use I have if I am lucky around 700-800 mb free..
If I close out all programs and then run ram booster I can get anywhere from 1.5-1.8 gb free. Sometimes I see it hit 2gb free but its rare..
at bootup after about 2 minutes I will check ram and I am around 1.4-1.8

Well after a search it seems this is the way the Note 5 is. Samsung gave it more memory in order to run and not for us run properly. There's a Samsung program called Samsung Galaxy Help. It has a ram cleaner which at times bring it down to 40% usage. To get that, you have to restart ,clear out the cache in system setting , then use the Galaxy help.
May be the toasted marshmallow will help.

How to use MSD card as RAM in GT-P3100?

I have been wondering how we can use any Micro SD cards in the Tab as a RAM The performance of the tab is decent with the 1 GB RAM currently but it with some games like Asphalt 8 there are certain issues at times with frame freeze/drops on online gaming. Please suggest a sure shot way to do this.

There's some trick using ram expander, swap ram, but u need to find rom that support swap. Try this h.t.t.p://en.miui.com/thread-18816-1-1.html

Ram usage high

I have stock T-Mobile 7 pro running on 9.5.5.gm31cb my os Ron's 6.7gb of ram to 7gb crazy anyone else having issue

This isn't an issue. Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

Also, it occurs to me, If you have the RAM optimizer turned on, then the phone is doing its job.

don't have that on think there's issue with mine I never keep that on

Same here. I was really confused when seeing it but I think it's because of the RAM boost and, as a user said here: Unused RAM is a waste.
I didn't see any lags or something to worry, so these values have to be because of some features ?

RAM Boost enabled. Let's put those 8 gigs of RAM to good use.

That's not normal. Even with Samsungs bloat on my note 9 it's never more than 4gb.

All depends on personal use.. maybe fella using some ram intensive apps, games etc, mine sits at 4.4 which is the same as coming from 6t

My 6t I still have it's way faster then 7 pro it scores way higher on benchmark test but it is rooted and Smurf kernel
