Hello, I own the 6 GB ram version, and I think multitasking could be seriously improved.
I'm using ex kernel manager with stock ROM and kernel, and when I check the ram use it is always MAX 75%.
No matter how many apps I open, I can't use more than my 75% total or ram.
It means that I'll have always at least 1400 mb of ram which is huge!
Does anyone know how to be able to use more ram?
I think having 500-600 free ram is enough...

The vibrants supposed to have 512 mb of ram but when I check it with the android system app it says 325 max and whats worse it says I have only like 90 mb free where's the other 187 ( granted I know some is used by OS) and how come my ram usage is so high not running much smooth calendar fancy widgets excuse Me if this was answered
I would venture that it is because the kernel isn't using HighMem. I think we could probably compile the kernel from source and enable highmem like we did on the Nexus.
Hi all,
Is it possible to increase RAM speed?
Bcoz in defy while running applications lag in speed?
I think RAM speed 470+?
470 is the amount of ram available on cm7, not the speed. and im quite sure theres no way to increase ram speed, but i dont anyone would have a problem with that. the thing you need is ram manager (pro) which you can download from the market (play store). this app manages your ram in a way that you will never run out of memory, which is probably the main cause of your lag. hope this helps.

a app can do that

MB's aren't speed, those are capacity for processes.
You can speed up your RAM by using V6 supercharged script.

That script optimizes the RAM management. You cannot increase the memory speed because it's a physical limitation. You need a higher frequency of the RAM module.

Hi,
I noticed that ram usage on galaxy s4 is very high even when all of the apps are closed. I have used task manager to close all of the apps and then cleared the memory but there was still about 1.05GB of ram used. I don't know if this is normal since I haven't been using android phone for 2 years. Can somebody tell me if this is normal and why? If not what can I do to fix it? Thanks!

its normal for s4... some stock apps are being cached in memory for faster operations
unused ram is wasted ram. If an app needs extra space, something will be automatically killed to make that space.

all of this is true... also keep in mind, the gpu requires slightly more ram because of the 1080p resolution.
Ok. Thank you all for the help
This is the problem of Sammy ROMs, the only way to fix it is to... wait for a Custom ROM and Flash it
this is normal on SGS4 .
Reasons of that are mainly GPU and HQ resolution , cached services and process, and even more if you are using the included extra features (S-voice, NFC ...)
But the SGS4 come with 2 gb of RAM ! you still get like 800 free mb of memory that is good enough for all you needs ))
Personally when I close all apps i get 0.91 gb used memry and 0.9bg free memory
Hi everyone. I have noticed that I don't have more than 1gb of free ram even if I close all the apps. And if I open my browser, it eats 500mb of ram. My phone became slower after few days of use, I notice constant lags. I have put most apps to sleep, and disabled some packages. But still very low on ram. Any advice please?

It is normal that your phone uses ram although 1 gb available is a bit low. Maybe factory reset the phone? If that doesn't work I would go back to where you got it from or contact samsung support
I checked and I have about 1.5 available after closing all apps and optimisation
I typically have 500-700 free on mine and experience no lag. Unix based OSes are supposed to occupy memory in order to launch things faster.

Yeah don't worry it's normal !
Some OS almost use 100% of RAM, but keep providing a perfect multitasking.
It doesn't mean that you will only have 700-900 Mo available for your multitasking, your OS will free RAM if necessary and let it to the apps. And even with 10 open apps in window mode, you will still have 700 Mo of RAM available
Thanks everyone. I have 1-1.2gb free with no active apps and now i see it's ok. Phone becomes a little slower when there are many apps open, but I believe it's also ok, nothing critical.
Why do people care how much RAM is free? I don't worry about it on my phone or laptops. I just let the devices do what they do best -- entertain me

I noticed lags and then saw that I have low free ram. On my previous leeco le max 2 I've had 1.8-2 gb free. So i thought maybe i do something wrong and more free ram will make phone faster. But looks like everything's fine.

In Android unused Ram is wasted Ram. You normally want to have about 500 free. If you're noticing that every time you open an app again it has to reload then yes it's an issue.
release ram
Hi; if you want more free ram you can reduse background process in setting/developer option
if you set background process on 2 system will process only two apps.
if your phone is slow when ram is full you can use ram booster.
Force close it! and greenify (need root) are the best ram booster.
Just uninstall applicatiions that you dont use or disable them. Pretty simple
yes more ram usage is not more battery drain, and device lag if there is no more ram or not enough available but its like if you only fill 1/4 of your fridge , your fridge won't consume more power if you put more stuff on it and it become only a problem if you want to put a big thing on it but its already full , so its only now that its useful so empty a bit the fridge to make space , but empty your fridge to put nothing on it is useless, you know what I mean?
So idk what's causing this I'm on havoc os 3.7 official and I've noticed that a lot of times if I have multiple apps open then switch to another app that one app will like close and re load the entire app as of it was killed because I dident have enough ram or something well when Icheck memory I have 4gb ram but my apps r force closing all the time or resetting as if I'm out of ram but my ram usage never goes up past like 2.4 GB so like why is my phone not using all my ram and how can I change it because this is annoying and I should be able to utilize my ram if not then why even have that much ram
Test a kernel manager like this https://github.com/SmartPack/SmartPack-Kernel-Manager/releases then low memory killer and or an other kernel
OK so the default values were low like 128 and 256 and about around there for everything in LMK so I changed them as high as they would go for the most part based on my total amount of ram and the lower the value the less ram an app is allowed to have before it is killed right?
Actually I think if the value is higher the apps will get killed more frequently so I guess I want them lower then?
