Hi fellow earthlings. Yes, this phone's slowing down. Need to allocate more RAM into this puppy.
I used ROEHSOFT's RAM Expander but I have a hard time finding the path required for the RAM Swap.
Can somebody please tell me which directory I am supposed to use as the default ain't working.
Or if you have some other way for increasing the RAM then please do tell.
Thanks!
.... So nothing?
You need to find out if your phone supports swap files first. There's another app for that. I'm trying to do exactly the same thing.
I suggest to gain more ram, block wakelocks alarms and unused services
Firstly install wakelock detector on google play to detect or install Xposed and Amplify firstly
Making a swap and using ram from swap will make your device slow.

Hi all,
I'm always low on memory on my phone, I run quite a few hungry apps so looking at suggestions now please. I'm a linux-person but this one baffles me on the right way to go ahead.
I'm on CM-4.2.3.1 pretty much as standard, no tweaks to note on it.
Advanced Task Killer shows me at generally around 17Mb available memory, but in my logs I often get:
Code:
11-12 13:33:43.102 I/ActivityManager( 322): Low Memory: No more background processes.
So I'm thinking I need to do something. I've not got swap enabled, nor have I got compcache as far as I'm aware, so what should I go for here and is there a simple guide on it? As I have done a few searches and its overwhelming the information that comes back.
Thanks in advance everyone
You could try the free app "automatic task killer" see if that helps. I've personally came to the conclusion that CM 4.2+ ROMs are RAM hogs themselves. Try flashing a ROM with the 10 meg RAM hack if it bugs you.
You're supposed to be low on memory.. That means your phone is using the it to the greatest efficiency.. Empty memory is wasted memory. Unless you're experiecing long load times and loads of caching, its normal.

qft, this is typically how linux runs anyways.
Do you have an ext partition on your SD for apps2sd? How about a linux swap partition (enabled)?

I second the suggestion for using a linux swap partition!
Agreed, and yes I have a swap partition correctly formatted, however thats the problem there are too many "guides" of how to enable/use the swap on CM, so if anyone can point me to the right entry (couldn't find it on the CM wiki either), or how to enable any of the other memory enhancements (compcache or whatever)
Thanks!
You can dl user.conf app from the market. explanations are given in the help section
Is the phone's internal memory shared for both app-storage AND running processes? I had assumed they were separate memory pools.
I monitor my Running Services pretty closely and I can see the memory mgmt only trying to maintain about 18 MB free. The phone starts to lag if there's less than that so I would like to see more available, e.g. 30 MB! Would implementing A2SD achieve this? Again, I was under the impression that it would not. Other threads have specifically stated that A2SD has nothing at all to do with performance and instead is intended to make it easier to switch ROMs by maintaining all your installed apps on the SD card (apart from the memory you need to flash when changing ROMs)
Thank you for any clarification!
Internal memory has nothing to do with RAM, which is what running processes use.
You want auto killer. Can set your minimum memory free and forget it, and let android maintain it.

I have used to use Kaiser and Topaz for now. I think these devices made by HTC has a single chip for storage for use of both Ram and Rom.
I do not use the program memory generally, i have ~150mb of free space of it, however, i have only ~60-70mb of ram which is not enough.
Is it possible to partition this chip to change the size of ram module by picking up a little from the program partition?
As I know, It uses different modules, you can see them in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669871&page=2
And the RAM and ROM cannot be the same, because RAM forgets everything what is loaded into that if you restart/shutdown.
And you know the RAM means Random Access Memory and ROM means Read Only Memory. We can write the ROM because it has to be programmable, but it doesnt forget its data.
So I'm sorry, I think its impossible
Sorry for my English, I hope you understand.

disable push internet .exe. it takes up 10mb ram. disable lock screen 6mb ram. disable start menu,use kenia1234 alternative for sense 15mb ram. disable htc tabs you don't use. disable htc phone skin dialer, 15mb extra ram. use these, you will get lots of free ram.
how can I ?

No point
Android will free ram if needed and ram cleaners and anti-viruses often mess this up

]May i ask why you need the RAM? Its android operating system after all if program requires more RAM the system will free enough. You have 1gb free which is more than enough. If you want to free more install some ram killer/cleaner like Clean Master,or uninstall some apps that you dont use. cheers :highfive:
thanks for answers
but it's about the battery, I wanna keep the phone on as much time as I can without needing to charge it
and I thought that all these running apps are consuming the battery and reducing its lifetime
Actually, having apps in the RAM saves battery. It's more battery-consuming to have to read the apps into RAM every time you want to use them. Better have them preloaded in the RAM and always ready-to-use.
They aren't 'running' in the background, but more like 'hibernating'.
If you really want to make sure no apps are consuming data and such in the background, then use Stamina Mode. Also checking which apps are allowed to automatically sync data is one way to go.
Hi all,
I am using a T350 to test some game builds on and I am getting low frame rates because it is a few years old now
Which ROM is the most "stripped/bloatfree" version which I could use to do my tests on, And can you recommend any which have overclocking functions, and if so, what kind of stable settings have been found to work on a T350.
Thanks!
The main problem seems to be the lack of RAM, As it has 1.5GB but using JazzROM, The system uses almost 1gb of memory alone. How can I free up memory space from system processes ?
Honestly there isn't a whole lot you can do, you could maybe free up a few more MB if you go into system processes and kill some random stuff. But you're already on a custom ROM so there won't be much if anything to kill.

JazzROM is stock base ROM, that's why, it is NOT really slimmed down version. What you can do is, you can use root explorer and go to System --> Apps, and delete some apps (make sure these apps can be downloadable from either Galaxy App Store or Google Play Store)
Ok thanks guys. I set "do not run background processes" and deleted some system apps, I can get about 800mb of free memory. One other thing I wanted to ask is that when I press the power button on the device to put it in standby mode, It goes to a lock/clock screen and doesnt turn the display off using JazzROM, Any ideas?
