SMOOTHLY. I figured instead of posting the video link to individual threads, I would just create a new one. The video quality SUCKS, as it was recorded from my other G1, but you get the idea. I hope to have a better quality one up later or tomorrow. I am running 2.7.4, with a 64 mg swap partition.

Very nice! Seems almost identical to my install of 2.7.4 with a 32 mb swap partition but I just switched over to the latest JACMyTouchSki to test that out. I'll probably jump back over to 2.7.4 to check out the larger swap settings and see if I can see a speed increase.
Did you use a 500 megs ext2/3 partition and left the rest FAT32 or did you use something different?

Fat32 partition was left in tact. I also am running an ext3 of 500mgs.
Does it run that fast after it's been left on for a few hours? I mean, I leave mine on all day, and JacHero 2.2.3 (swapper app, no ext) got really slow by the end of the day.

The only thing that bugs me is TouchFlo taking a minute to reload after using the browser and listening to music, but hey I guess we should be thankful we have any kind of port

I shot it two days ago. I never shut my phone off for whatever reason. The browser is my only issue as it takes while to load.

I wouldn't have thought so, but it was useless anyway imo. All it was good for was loading ads, which made navigation slower. Also when clicking a link to a YouTube video it would try to watch it in flash (which failed) rather than the video player. I think I can sacrifice the sexy visual bookmarks for a huge performance boost.

So now adobe Air is released.So are there any apps available which is integrated with adobe Air.

That app is way to large for my nexus.
Skytunes. Looks cool so far.
there is a list from app brain

sorry for the broken link, but I cant post URL's on a new account
here you go http://www.appbrain.com/user/webkitchen/air-applications
gravity lander is a nice example of adobe air, quite a lot of apps avaliable seeing as it was just released a few hours ago
Air is a huge install 10+ Mb, that doesn't want to live on the SD.
Boo on Adobe.

After playing around with Skytunes some more, I'm really impressed. There's a neat little option that allows you to switch playback from your phone to your desktop at the click of a button and it's INSTANTANEOUS. ATM, the only drawback is that the server on the desktop is just the application itself, so you kind of have to have it open all the time if you want to use it on the go.
Hopefully they'll make a background process to control the server eventually.
There're already quite a lot of Air apps out in the market. Very impressive. The quality of the apps on average seems pretty decent, too.

One reason why I didnt bother, it will overload the memory.
And it will be a while before its a "must have" app.
Your going to have this problem with complicated libarys being used on a phone with bugger all storage space. Hopefully whatever phone I get next will have at least 2gb for app storage.
By default (no additional apps installed yet), Note 3 consume almost 1,4GB of its RAM. Is it normal? Can we disable or uninstall some useless apps/services from it? Any recommendation? I need more free RAM to run other apps.
Device doesn't manage its memory well enough for you?
this beast suck a lots of memory, i ran only few apps memory remain at 400mb free WTF, when i clear memory i saw it clear 40+ apps ,so it look like many samsung junk apps run in background.
-No custom for me at this time, i'm not big fan of Omega Rom. Wait for more custom rom.
Why wouldn't you want the device to cache Apps in RAM?
RAM is there to be used, not to be empty so you can see a big non-utilized number. If new opened applications need more RAM, the OS will automatically clear the old stored data to make room for new ones. It even explains this in the task manager if you bothered to read.
RAM is indeed to be used. But it's not pleasant to see your rebootet phone is slurping up 1GB of ram immediatly.
I've rooted mine and loaded up Omega. I deleted all useless apps. I'm running now on 500 - 700MB after booting up
This means for me less bloatware and more private apps that I downloaded can be cached
Win-Win Situation
After clearing memory I have a gig used somehow and it's pissing me off to be quite honest cause I can't work out what's using it all

I'm with MohJee here; Android is just using as much memory as it can because it's faster to access the RAM than the storage. The boot processes use RAM, and if there is enough RAM in the system, then the boot processes will just use that RAM in order to avoid swapping, hence helping the device boot faster. The amount of 'free' RAM you see after system boot is just the RAM that was not used by the boot processes; the 'used' RAM is not necessarily being used by active processes. It looks used, but it's in fact free to take.
Whenever an app needs memory, the OS loads it up in RAM until there is no more RAM available, in which case the OS will just clear some unused memory to make room for the new app. This is more efficient than cleaning memory as soon as you leave an app, because then if you reopen an app you closed a while back, you don't need to load all the data in memory, it's already there.
Basically, unless you run a lot of processes or you have very little RAM, the RAM being full is a good thing in the Android world.
The RAM should get used in any Android device, with 3GB of ram, it seems like the phone is caching almost everything it can, it doesn't seem to affect usage as it kills non used apps and loads the ones you open if it reaches the limit.
This is perfectly normal, and how it should work.
Im suffering the same .. my Note II usually consumed 600-900MB but my Note 3 suffers 1.3-2GB smh. I'd be grateful if someone gave me a valid solution ^^

Yea, upon a reboot it only has 689MB in use. Even running 6 apps at the same time (Tapatalk, Firefox, Gmail, Outlook, Whatsapp, Oh!Edu Towns) it still sticks to about 1.28GB In Use.
All I did was clear out the bloatware as much as non-root allows, replaced Touchwiz(480MB usage) with Apex(68MB usage), turned off all sync and location services, and I don't use Facebook.

2.66gb max?
... samsung screwed with us claiming the 3gb bs.
they loaded a bunch of **** that constantly loads. all their dumb software screwing with the consumer.
So they give more, and reserve almost half a gig or more on some devices.. the North American has a max of 2.38gb so reserved a lot more.
the note 2 had max 1.75 but less crap loading in the background

They gave 4 GB Ram in which they used 1.8 GB when it got shipped. I added 1 GB of applications that left with 1 GB of free RAM.When we start using the phone apps are taking 500 MB to execute which leaves with just 500 MB of free space. As apps get updates in the next 1 year this 500 MB free space will further decrease and hence I believe we will see this lag after 1 year but as of now i see nothing. What puzzles me is that some how 4 GB doesn't seem sufficient

Think about other flagships which are coming with 3 GB RAM... And this one is LPDDR4, which is way faster than its predecessor. In a year, it won't make much of a difference. And if it does, you can always install a stock android ROM which will not even consume half of the available RAM even with several other applications running! You've got the best hardware, be sure of that..

Agreed that it has best hardware and probably that is why there is no lag.Other flagships may come with 3 GB but probably they don't get shipped with 50% of RAM. May be Samsung used 50% probably because of Samsung Pay and Knox.
What I heard is that it gets slower as time goes and hence hope this time it doesn't happen.
I hate to install Custom Rom and I am that Geek and while i tried to install Cyanogen Mod in S3 it gave errors and had to use a temp fix to resolve the issue and took lot of time to find that temp sol.

Although I prefer Samsung ROM over the CM ( Yeah, I like the colors ), but CM did give me amazing performance in my earlier flagships. I'm not suggesting you to do it, however, if you do, just find the guide for exact model number as yours and read the comments before flashing. I started flashing with Sony W700i, then Moto Razr v3i, Moto ming, PSP 2000, N73, some BlackBerry, Samsung I5800, S2, S3, Note 2... Frankly, I had my bad time too, but that's how you learn...

I bought international factory unlocked version and I saw that Package disable pro is actually finds Samsung push service as bloatware and hence u have to be very carefull what you disable.Had i done that I think i wont get any updates from samsung.
I didnt see much increase in battery life or Increase in Free Ram.I will try thsi app after some time.
After clearing cache in recovery menu I found that the lag is a little less. We'll see though

I don't have any proof to back up my claim, but I believe OxygenOS uses a portion of the RAM for optimizations and performance. Hence why the 8GB variant seems to be slightly faster than the 6GB variant.
