froyobylaszlo Questions - myTouch 3G, Magic General

HTC Mytouch 32B
Froyobylaszlo
CC @ 18% / VMH @ 32M
256MB ext4 / 0 swap (swap not enabled)
Home and Messaging locked
very few small apps installed
First off, quick question. Anyone know why My phone RAM is Completely spent? It constantly sits around 15MB free of 110MB. Larger games wont load and just crash at the loading screen to the home screen, other games are lagy at times. If this was a computer I would say its a ram issue and I am running out of usable ram. Any ideas?? I just want to get this phone working so I can sell the headache. So far this ROM seems to run awesome and has none of the issues I experienced with the other ROMS except when put under load.

64MB swap and still no change

still curious as to why my RAM is spent..... Installed a RAM app and confirmed 15-20MB available of 115MB. I used this app to kill the running precesses and it brought me up to 45MB free but it gradualy dropped back down to 15-20 free. Even with all services Killed, including the system sevices, I was still at 45MB free of 115MB. What is using the other 70MB? Anyone?

Please someone explain this to me! Is the Mem info not the RAM? Why is it constantly spent?

xda exec has become sluggish

Hello
My XDA EXEC has become sluggish, especially when i hit the start button, it takes time to come up with the drop down list. also it takes its sweet time to "power up". at times it comes up with a hite screen for a couple of seconds and then displays the windows "desktop". sometimes it comes up wtih the four color circle
can you guys help. i checked th memory settings and it shows the following
Storage
Total: 43.50 MB
In Use: 42.50 MB
Free: 1.00 MB
Program
Total: 49.93 MB
In use: 23.78 MB
Free: 26.15 MB
Free: 1.00 MB

erm, try freeing up some space to see if things get better perhaps?
Andy
thanks for pointing me in the right direction
i found out that some ow i had started a video while talking to my friend, the video had taken up 12 MB of memory and that was the problem
i thought storage memory belonged to the card,
i guess some how the system has partitioned storage memory and program memory
dont know any micorsoft environment that can run anything on 1mb of anything
always try to keep a minimum of 10mb of everything on these devices
even IE can chew up lots if you use lots of sites, so keep clearing the ie stored cache and watch your memory, DAILY.

ROM & RAM Usage & Reporting

I am having a tough time getting my head around how WM5 reports ROM & RAM uasge. I believe the system has 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM, so...
-----------------------------------------
I would expect the memory usage to be reported like so:
Storage
Total: 128 MB
In Use: 38.54 MB
Free: 89.46 MB
Program
Total: 64 MB
In Use: 31.73 MB
Free: 32.27 MB
-----------------------------------------
But instead I get:
Storage
Total: 47.46 MB
In Use: 38.54 MB
Free: 8.92 MB
Program
Total: 44.01 MB
In Use: 31.73 MB
Free: 12.28 MB
-----------------------------------------
So what happened to 80 MB of ROM (Storage) & 20 MB of RAM (Program)? The image file (nk.nbf) in the OS installer is 80MB in size so it seems that maybe the system subtracts that amount of space and just shows it as not even being there. Am I correct in that deduction? Does that mean that the 38MB of Storage in use is all due to applications that I have installed?
If the above is true, then is the system doing the same thing with the program memory (RAM)? It caculates how much RAM the base system uses, subtracts it from the 64MB total and reports that it isn't even available? If this is the case, why doesn't the system just report 64MB total and show what the system is using? Also, when I use MemMaid to check running processes, it only reports around 11.2MB in use by the running processes. What is using the additional 20MB (in addition to the 20MB that is not even being reported)?
So...
Is there a better way (instead of MemMaid) to see what is eating up the RAM?
I have removed as much as I can find (plug-ins and such) and have it up to around 20MB free with just the essentials running. Of course there may be standard OS stuff & T-Mobile stuff running that isn't really needed, but I cant seem to see any of it. What can I do to free up as much RAM as possible?
I am running the official T-Mobile 2.26 ROM. I assume the cooked ROM images eliminate the "junk" and free up storage space, but do they also free up program memory? If so what can I expect to gain in available RAM over the T-Mobile ROM?
Thanks in Advance,
Dave

Yea I posted part of it a few days ago in a thread someone else started, but wasn't getting any responses. I figured I would add more detail and see if anyone has any valuable information to help me out.
This was posted to me by another member here when I was having some troubles.. perhaps it can help you in some way...
its a program called where is my ram
check it out...

Thanks, but that wasn't any help. It would shows what is being used in "Storage", but didn't show anything in the way of "Program" (RAM) usage. Even though it let you choose between RAM & ROM, it only is only looking at Storage. For instance when I selected to show only RAM it still showed the contents of my SD card.

If you look real close windows consumes almost 78MB itself that's where a good junk has gone!

Free memory is only 35mb, is that normal

this might be a noob question, and i searched and i cannot find an answer to my question. i have an HTC Magic (32B) and i been installing all types of roms, and they install fine but the problem im facing that they run slow, so i thought i might be running out of RAM memory so i was using TasKiller which shows how much memory i have, and its on average 35 mb of free memory is that normal? i have my SD partitioned with a 96 mb Swap and 512 EXT. how do i increase the free memory because i think thats whats slowing it down. i read somewhere that i need to enable the Swap as it is not enabled by default. can someone help and explain what i need to do, cause everyone else says that their ROMs fly even on G1 and other 32B and mine is slow. I am currently using KingKlik Espresso Rom but i face that issue with all the Roms
What ROM are you currently using?
32B magics don't have the same amount of ram as 32As from what i understand.
type free /proc/meminfo on a terminal and see what it gives you. I hate task manager info's about ram sometimes they don't give a right amount.
32A have a higher RAM, currently i am using KinkKlik espresso ROM but i face this issue with all the ROMs that are not 1.5. i thought when i have the swap file and all that stuff it would expand the RAM space used
Yes, this is normal on a 32B.
Keep in mind Android has a great shared library framework, and allows apps to save state when it moves them out of RAM so they can re-launch later and be back at the same point you left them.

confused over ram/rom/nand & partition size

I'm currently using imilka's Gingerbread Sense nand build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989289).
I was reading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...72&postcount=7 trying to understand, with little luck.
I have the TMOUS version of the HD2, with the suggested 350 meg partition. I'm also using APP2SD and have everything possible moved to my SD card (which in my case is around 500 megs in 200 or so programs).
I currently have 162 mb available according to APP2SD.
According to Absolute System, I have 350 MB in system, with 9mb free. If I understand correctly - this is used to hold the o/s (this gingerbread build) PLUS any frameworks I can squeeze into the 9mb, like a circle battery or bootup animation.
Absolute System confirms in data I have 162 mb free.
OSMonitor says I have 48 Megs free btw. And I've un-installed things running in the background that I don't need, but looks like the o/s will just leave other programs open - it looks like it tries to leave about 45-50 free at all times.
SO - why am I getting warning that I am low in memory?? I am now using SPB Shell 3D, which does use 35-40 megs of memory (yes, quite a bit) and want to compensate for it.
Is the 162 remaining used only for app installs?
Is the memory running apps like Shell 3D coming from the 350?
Since I have 160 megs free, can I re-allocate say 25-50 megs more to the o/s for Shell 3D and other apps to use?
If I need to re-partition to a different amount, would I then flash say a 400mb over (cause I tried that initially and remember being laughed at for not following post #1 which asked for 350+). If I do this, I presume I can CWR backup, re-flash partition, then restore..?
Another possibility would be to use the SD card option - can I use this method to say make a 2 gig partition for *all* apps on my sd card, and leave *all* internal memory for Android to run?
Help!

[Q] Not showing 1GB of memory?

Hey there team,
Checking Settings - Applications - Running services
Is only showing 211MB used, 316MB free which gives a total of 526MB
However in device information it says 1GB.
Is anyone able to confirm on their Acer what the total memory is showing under running services?
Cheers

I have the same not too sure there must be 1gb as 1. its advertised as 1gb and two its not 512mb as it would report that or a little less. maybe honeycomb isn't optimized to see 1 gb just yet?
I didn't look real close, bit when I was viewing dmesg output after boot I could see a line near the top that showed the 1GB (and two numbers that added up to 1GB). I believe that RAM is reserved for video on start up.
1gb ram
Just check in system_device info and it shows 1gb of ram
Great news!
I was hoping I didn't have a bad ram module or something

Total RAM of this machine is 1G
Free ram will be 768MB, because 256MB is used for the dalvik-cache, you can see from the build.prop
Out from the 768MB, I think 2XXMB is used for video? Which makes the total available to applications is around 5XX MB. Please comment.
