I recently got my Eris, and downloaded a free ram widget. It tells me that I only have 186 MB of total system ram, and I run at about 40 mb free.. usually. So I'm wondering where the other, about 120 mb is at?
Edit: Can a mod please move to the correct forum? Sorry.

288MB is total. We already went thru all this on the G1. First off, part of that is shared memory. The baseband requires something like 40-50MB, then there is another 10MB or something for kernel, then another 30-40MB that is shared for camera, audio, gpu, framebuffer, command line buffer, and all kinds of neato things. We also realized that about 2MB just disappear into the ether. The G1 has 192MB total RAM, but only 96MB is available to the kernel, and with the RAM hack we get 107MB total.
What is the total amount of space that is showing in the 16 GB version?
For Me (Stock Rom - Rooted - Clockwork Recovery)
It shows 12.96GB, which seems a lot less than it should be.
4gb is reserved for android os
12.96 is right.
kinda like how RAM is advertised as 2GB
it is really ~1.8GB of RAM
It's the correct amount, everyone gets the same. Android system reserves way to much in my opinion.

Still, 3GB is a bit over-reserved?
/dev, for example, is 936MiB and only 32KB is used :-/
Remember that the advertised storage capacity is in decimal notation, whereas the figures given by the device are in binary notation.
1 decimal GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes
1 binary GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes (can be written as GiB to avoid confusion)
So 16 GB advertised capacity is 14.9 GiB so there's only about 2 GiB in use by / reserved for the OS.

RAM is usually advertised in binary notation, so 2 GB means 2 GiB.

Where exactly are we looking at the amount of GB's in settings under storage? Or under 'Internal Storage' ?
Not sure if my 16gig is showing up as 8

What is the swap file used for, is it for the cpu, does it use the ram?
The thing has the fastest set up it should be the most smoothest device ever made.
64 bit tegra k1 with geekbench single core performance of 2000 almost double that snapdragon 801.
Fastest internal storage chip. 15MB random write and 38MB random read.

The 508 MB Swap partition do not use any RAM, I think it's just an partition on the internal memory to extent the RAM with 508 MB (so basically you have 1.8 Gb RAM + 508 MB Swap)
And see attached screenshot for the AndroBench results.
it is just plain stupid putting only 2GB ram on a 64Bit device and then helping out with 500MB swap. They could have easily add 3GB ram without any significant costs..
Funny thing is that the nexus 6 has 3GB ram and has a variant with 64GB disk.
Looks like f2fs is only used on the encrypted /data partition, /system and /cache still use ext4.
Also, the Nexus 9 actually has zram enabled, which explains the swap "partition". Having 2GB of memory with 0.5GB of zram is an interesting alternative to just using 3GB of memory instead.

no, it is not an interesting alternative, it is a stupid one in every way. the nexus 9 is already quite expensive. 1GB ram just costs a couple of dollars and room is more than enough within. and considering it is 64Bit it will bloat up ram usage anyway, not to forget that this high screen resolution eats up a lot of ram, too.

It's stupid until you realize how channeling works. The option to user zram is a very interesting one and it might be a better solution. So far benchmarks of the tablet agree with HTC/Google.
EDIT: also, in a serialized "queue" architecture like the this 64bit K1 with 2 cores, multitasking is not the priority. 2GB + zRam or 3GB should not make much difference.
Google opted for this kind of CPU in the N9 to make it as fast as an ipad air2 on your active task. You don't have multiple windows, you won't do true multitasking in this tablet. This is an ipad alternative, and even these architectural details show it.

a lot of unrelated stuff in your post. there is no need for zram or swap (regarding the first posts its swap and not compressed ram, but i do not know myself what it is) if you get an extra 1GB of ram. 1 GB of ram is ALWAYS better than zram or swap. zram is a nice option when you cannot extend the memory for various reasons and swap may be used for heigh memory use cases when you have some not too slow alternate memory. n9 internal memory is still damn slow for swapping (if it is indeed a swap faile on disk at all).
but actually there seems to be no good reason to not add an extra GB as we can see the nexus 6 has it, the nexus 9 ha definetly room for it (it is not like pc dram module) and it is damn cheap also.
secondly, i'm not talking about multitasking when i pointed out 64bit, so why the hell are you bringing this in? beside of that on a tablet multitasking it meanwhile not so uncommen. the point is that a 64 bit os has a MUCH larger memory footprint. also such high screen resolutions add a decent amount of memory either. and finally, your argument about benchmarks proving anything related to my comment is unrelated at best. it doesn't prove anything related to my statement.
there is aboluelty no reason to prefere zram or swap over an extra GB of ram, and it seems that there is nothing that would made it difficult for htc to add it. i can only assume that they added this just collect some experience on it and nothing more.
i really don't get it. what's the purpose of your statement? showing of your lack of knowledge or celebrating fanboyship "oh cool, they skipped a 5$ GB ram but gave us zram hurayyyyy".
sounds totally sound to give a smartphone 1GB ram more, same high resoltion on a smaller screen and twice as much disk space
EDIT: but please finally tell us WHAT exactly is so "interessting" adding zram or swap instead of one GB ram? you post has no information except this little claim. one might find this decision interesting of course due to its stupidity but it doesn't look that this is the source of your interest.
Any conjecture or theoretical analysis is ultimately pretty meaningless. Just let the performance speak for itself.

No...you would understand what he was talking about if you understood what he meant by "architecture". The Tegra K1 chip employed by the N9, aka Project Denver, is the first in order execution CPU since...like, 1990.......This device was never designed to multitask, as the CPU itself was designed to finish tasks in order, and be damn fast at that.

Adding 1GB of RAM is useless, since 64bit really needs 4 & up to shine, it doesn't make a difference whether or not you tack on another GB.....

that's simply not true! 64bit does not shine more orn 4GB ram or on 12GB. you need 64bit for 4GB+ ram (while 4GB actually works on 32bit with PAE). but i am not talking about when 64bit is needed to allow for more memory. i am talking about the double sized memory pointers, the bigger size ints and longs, due to 64bit! this caused all native code to consume far more memory. but as ia already said multiple times, not only the 64bit os itself eats a lot of memory it also the high resolution graphics but also the meanwhile increased resolution assets of android.
i don't say that it is actually needed to install more memory. but if they decided to add zram it seems they actually needed more memory. the point is that it is stupid to extend the memory with zram instead of just simply adding 1GB ram.
i can't say it more clearly. the stupidity is to NOT INSTALL 1GB MORE RAM BUT INSTEAD USE ZRAM TO MAKE UP FOR LACK OF MEMORY.
It doesnt need a swap file 2gb ram is enough

Arm chips didn't really start to use out of order instructions until the cortex a9, sometime around the Tegra 2 and the atrix. There were plenty, literally hundreds of android phones with cortex a7 and a8 cpu's with in order execution. (Think of the older snapdragons, the hummingbird, the omap's) Because this CPU happens to be an in order processor, doesn't mean its now a non multitasking tablet or OS. Multitasking performance should not be expected to get WORSE, with better hardware(I'm not saying it is, but it shouldn't be expected).
Yes 64 bit processors shine with above 4 gigs of ram(as far as mapping more memory), but 64 bit applications have a larger memory footprint than the same application compiled for 32 bit CPU's(uses more ram). So with the higher resolution and 64 bit OS, 2 gigs of ram may be pushing it, and it is probably why they added the swap.
No matter how you slice it, ram is always better than swap. Ram is always gonna be faster memory than a large storage device. If they thought 2 gigs would not be enough ram, swap should not have even be a consideration, just make it 3. The nexus 10 was a prime example of this due to the screen resolution and the GPU needing too much ram. Most of the 10's issues were the CPU not having quite enough power and not enough ram. Chrome would refresh pages with just a few tabs open when switching between them.
I personally would not trust a young filesystem that was initiated by Samsung.
Both of the above sounds like my data is at risk
After playing with it for a few days , I observed reload of the launcher sometimes. I am not sure if Lollipop is not yet well optimized for N9 or whatever. I think that 3GB of ram should be better.
2gb Ram is plenty it does not need the swap file
I hope the swap file ain't causing any slow downs or lag because it is reading writing to it instead of using the main ram

A swap partition is just that, it swaps memory to a file system when memory or other resources are gone. Some applications will do it by default.
I'm positive you don't have a grasp on linux or *inux systems. You should read up on 'em.
I beg to differ... I'm so sick and tired of all my apps getting booted out of memory the moment they're off-screen. Even the damn launcher vanishes way too quick and takes an eternity to reload. This tablet sucks for multi taking, even though the gorgeous screen is taylor-made for it.

Totally agree with this, I'd be happy to pay $10-$20 more for and extra 1 to 2 Gb or ram.
Then they could have gone something like 4GB Ram + zram
Would have been better
And while denver may be an In order design, its 7 way Superscalar which should outweigh the benifits of a 3 way OoOE Design for multitasking

Of course I know. I keep up with flagship devices usually & major SoC releases as well. I was just pointing out that the S6 is the best performer...however it only has 4 A57's & 4 53's. Big little permits only 1 cluster to fully run, preventing 8 cores from being online at once unless Sammy modified that behavior.

Since S5 all 8 cores can be online at once , this was due to HMP model of big.LITTLE introduced at that time.
Well I was just trying be 'fair' with comparisons of devices as real world performance is more important than just numbers IMHO.

29c... thats 84f. What are you sitting out in the middle of a desert or something? That is an unusually high outside temperature. Typical use of such things as tablets will be around 74f (23c). That ambient different may be enough to make the 2k difference.... Also there can be some difference with regards to cpu binning. If your chip needs a bit more voltage than someone elses, then it will make more heat, and throttle a bit sooner.

Hi, Nexus 5x is really good device but there is gonna be RAM problem in the future....
I got the mobile few days and ilready got 1,5 GB RAM in use...
I have instaled just few essentials app and memmory is already full. If android wil develop and use even more RAM its gonna be problem in the future.....
Another thing is decryption. of the phone and no option how to disable it.....Instalation of app takes forever....
Do you get lag because of your ram usage? My guess is you don't.
No lags at the moment...
But
OS Android 649 MB
System Android 107MB
Servises Google play 105 MB
UI system 61MB
Google play 26 MB
= 948 MB Only Android system....All of the is using all the time...
And the game Vainglory was instaling prox 10 minutes.....
Ive had 2GB of ram on my Moto X 2014 and never had an issue with over 100 apps and 9+GB of app data. Same thing. Were talking a mobile device that doesnt require more.

So why do those numbers bother you if your experience is not diminished by them?
Coz I wanted to point out it... With the Nexus 5 and android 6 I had more free RAM and instalation of one game did not take 10 minutes....
Then return the phone.

I absolutely love the new ringtones and notification tones that come every year with the new nexus devices... Can someone please extract them for me!? Thank you so much in advance!
Linux/Android is not Windows. Linux/Android deliberately uses as much RAM as possible from what's available. The worst thing you can do is put a RAM booster on your phone. That just fights Android's RAM management and makes your performance worse.
I don't want the 5X, and I'm disappointed that it only has 2 GB of RAM, but in principle, nothing is wrong with the way your phone is allocating RAM.
Just sell the phone to me.
Take it easy now the person has a right to an opinion and may be right who knows. Remember the original nexus 5 practically had the best specs at its time so it's running fine now. But the 5x isn't anywhere near that and who knows what it's future will be like. His/her concerns are valid. BTW I did buy the 5x pre ordered.
One concept in computing that I am a firm believer in: unused RAM is wasted RAM
Sent from my D6616 using Tapatalk
I think the one legit gripe so far is that the game took way too long to install. I wonder how the game played tho? I couldnt care less about ram usage specs unless I saw a real issue. His N5 installed the game just fine so 2GB ram isnt the issue. The encryption issue might have some validity, but I assume that can be disabled once the phone gets enough 3rd party development underway.

That's Nexus 5 x or Moto G? Terrible performance! This is a shame!

it was obvious at some points that the data connection on the 5x was to blame. for instance loading the website the first cycle thru the apps
also
the screen colors on the 5x look tons better than the 6p
id like to see a speed test of a nexus 6 vs 5x.. not 6p

Just called Google and made sure they canceled my order...momma ain't raised no fool!! Btw thanks for the video, thanks for scaring me into thinking 2gbs of ram isn't enough to play flappy birds... I do like the colors on the 5x screen more but 2gbs of ram though? Really? Is there anyway I can manually install more ddr3 ram onto device, that way I can reorder my 5x back and tell the guy the canceled it to hit"
THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!
