My N7 has been real sluggish lately. Takes a few minutes to swap home screens and such. Would it have anything to do with only having like 200meg of space left.

Yes. Delete something. Post results. Try to keep ~1GB free most of the time.

What does everyone have for free RAM? I have between 320 - 400. Is this normal/average? Running rooted stock.

That's about it.
You don't have to worry about free ram, JB will take care of itself

As said, dont worry about the free memory, JB will manage it fine.
Dont use a task killer either for memory management, only to kill problem apps, and if an app is repeatedly a problem app, then uninstall it.
With Android, you are better off with apps in memory as they will launch/run quicker, free memory is wasted memory.
I agree with these post, don't worry about free ram. As long as a particular app isn't causing problems by taking up too much theres no need to really worry about memory. Unused memory is basically resources not being used.

Empty RAM uses electricity, and RAM used as cache is as static as empty RAM. It's not as if the system is turning off power to the modules that are unused. You'll see a negligible impact (if any) from having more free.
Edit: In fact, you may see the opposite if you aggressively free memory due to increased flash memory usage.

Cool, thanks for all of the info. I just wanted a point of reference, nothing was wrong.

I bought the nexus 4 8gb. too small i know buts thats what i can afford.
any way can some one explaine why the storage capacitiy is only 6 gb?
thats a real let down.
AW: [Q] A math problem with the storage size?!
It's because the system takes about 2GB of storage. So no "math problem" but some irritating advertisement.

This is no different than any other device. The same is true for any other android device and yes even the iPhone. The system ROM will always require a small portion of available space

As above plus have you ever seen a HDD that was advertised as e.g 500gb and actually had that 500 as usable space

<pedantic>Every 500GB HDD I've seen has at least 500GB of user-addressable space. Though not 500GiB.</pedantic>

No. On the iPhone the nand is larger than what is advertised. If you buy a 16GB phone there is a 20GB+ nand in there so that the user can access the 16GB that was advertised.

Where did you get this? There was a 20+ NAND built in but I could only use 14 in my 16 gig version.

I am talking about the iPhone 5/4/4S
Users that use iDevices get the full space as advertised, probably because it costs more anyways.
Android devices are cheaper so they couldn't care much about delivering whats advertised.
Any how, you shouldn't have any issues with an 8GB N4.
Considering DropBox (You can get 18GB of Dropbox space for as little as $5. I've personally bought it from here http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160943243088?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I don't play games on my phone so that wont waste space either.
I just have about a gig of music on my phone.
For some reason my Nexus 7 is strangely slow lately idk why, but I want to know if anyone else has seen there Nexus 7 lagging? And if anyone knows how to speed it up? Posting screen shot of my system info.

Exactly the same here. Typing's hard work, and tapping icons or buttons can take a couple of tries before it registers. All updated and tried a reboot.
You should upgade to 4.2.2, make full wipe and start from scratch. Then you will see if lag is still there.

Try lagfix(fstrim) anyway it free and took only a few seconds to finish it's job. Even you're already have more than 5 GB free but in the old kernel seem to have a problem with nand flash controller.

Just disable auto-brightness (not joking, it works).

So this has been really pissing me off lately... Both "android.process.acore" and "Contacts Storage" have each been taking up over 250mb or RAM all the time, resulting in heavy lag and very fast battery drain. Please help!

I highly doubt this use up enough ram to slow your device down, I mean we have 2gbs and I almost always have over 1 gb free. Also there's no way having them in the ram uses any more battery as ram uses the same amount of power whether it's full or empty.

Isn't it just a ROM-related derp that it displays the RAM usage incorrectly?

When this problem occurs, I'm down to about 500mb of usable RAM, which is basically unusable.

I upgraded from the galaxy nexus to the g2 and what I can't figure out is what is using all the ran on the g2 I have the same apps on the g2 as I did on my gnex but on the g2 uses almost a gig of ram where as the gnex only used half of that with all the same apps the only difference is the ROM and kernel could it be one of them using all the ram
i can see many more differences between these two devices lol. resolution being the most obvious one.
ill try explain with an example. u have a small house and feel comfortable there. then on top of that u build a 4x bigger house. and you would still live only in the small house. wouldnt it be better to use parts of the bigger house aswell ?
and not only the house grew but you as well.

The LG has 2GB of RAM, if your device uses 1.9GB, then start worrying. If it uses only half or 1.5GB, it is a good thing.
U know,g2 has a much better gpu,processor and resolution etc and does and handles everything better(while sacrificing ram usage)
