For me 1.3 gb to 1.4 gb
it depends, for me when I restart my phone, I always get 1.3/1.4, after a while less than 1gb. Also, you will not understand how the memory management works in Android, because most RAM is cached for quick access

From what I understand, the Incredible has 512 MB RAM Memory. Under my setting though, it says phone memory total space 748 MB, available 608 MB. what am I missing here? How much memory is available for RAM and how much is available for the ROM?
(phone internal flash storage is 8 GB and SD Card is separate.. all of that is understood).
748MB is your ROM. This is where the system image is stored, applications, etc.
512MB is your RAM. This is like "live" data, where applications currently running are storing their temporary data, etc.

okay, so the RAM is not displayed under the settings then uh?
I don't believe it is.
However, there are several system information apps that will show you your current RAM usage, which apps are taking up how much memory, etc. Just search for "system" in the market, and you'll find plenty.
Any useful tweaks or settings which I could use? There is many appn on the market and they allow to tweak internal memory management but I have no idea what settings to use.
No matter which I try, my phone always seem to stick to ~100MB RAM Free. Why so much? I'd prefer ~50MB RAM Free and more apps running without closing.

you mean you want 100mb ram free but only have 50mb? you can check out a ram cleaner script. the link is in my signature called mods for virtuous unity. just download the zip file, back up your phone and superwipe, then flash your rom then ram cleaning script then reboot and your done
Actually it was the other way around, I always had 100 MB free and my apps have been closed often. I played with one of the tools to tweak internal memory manager and now my free RAM goes down to 60 and apps stay in memory, this is what I wanted. FireFox Nightly takes a lot on its own...
Will play with settings some more before posting them here.
Only app and root needed, no scripts or Rom flashing.
I'm runing CoreDroid port, I love its theme.
My opinion is if what you perceive as a lack of available memory is not degrading the performance of your phone, including the apps which run on the phone, then it's a non-issue as the latest versions of Android have a much better handle on memory management than the older versions.
I agree but in my case system had 100MB RAM free but when I launched another app it would close other app and system would still have 100 MB RAM Free. So imagine me opening media player and listening to mp3 and then I launch Firefox and music stops, yet there is still 100 MB RAM Free.
I have changed settings and it's better now, Free RAM drops down to 60MB so I can have more apps running.
Previously, Firefox would close whenever I switched out of it, annoying.

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?

What is best RAM cleaner for Android 4.3? My RAM is always about 700-800 MB (I play games, watch videos, use facebook so everything what is eat the RAM) on my S4. But after I reboot my phone it is about 1200 MB. So how can I fully clear the RAM without a reboot?
your system is cleaning RAM so you don't have to think about it..................best cleaner is no cleaner at all :good:
^^^^
Couldn't agree more.
Those apps are designed to Hoover money from suckers. Android manages RAM just fine itself; it doesn't like 'free' RAM. Thing is people are used to Windows managing RAM badly/not releasing RAM when programs are exited/etc, so when they see low free RAM in Android they think they need to free some up/use an app to do this.
If you constantly free RAM up in Android, rather than having apps ready to go based on your usage patterns which Android does normally, it has to start apps completely from scratch, and you will end up using more battery long run as a result.

As mentioned above the system is designed to manage RAM itself by freeing up as and when required. But if you want to quickly refresh you could use the built-in task manager (hold home button) to close all open apps. Theres also Greenify (search play store) which hibernates apps and prevents them from running constantly in the background using up resources, its not as harsh as a "RAM cleaner" as it works more with the way processes and services are handled by android.
And just a command?
When i tap the Close All Tabs button i always see around 3 Giga ram is available out of 6 Giga ram.
After i Close all Tabs it shows like 3.6~4 Giga ram but never it is Fully 6 or even 5.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is this legit or a problem with my phone?
Have you seen your computer's going to 0-10% utilization? That's because the OS and other background services are always running and they require RAM. My phone frees around 3.2GB when I clear all apps, and that's very good compared to Samsung which is always utilizing 70-75% of RAM.
Just as a addition:
Android (Linux) kernel does not treat RAM as you are used to in windows.
Windows is freeing the RAM a while after an application was stopped. Linux afaik does not free any RAM when closing an application. Only when a new application need more memory it will get space from closed apps.
The of closing apps in Android is just a feature implemented because people where complaining about memory consumption in Android even when apps were closed.
