Hello and first i have to say, great forum!
Now to my question. Is it possible to create a swap file or partition (like swapper, or???) for my/our galaxy? Then we didn't have the low ram problem !?!
(like my old htc magic )

there is no low ram problem in actual kernels...
Yes, you mean the kernels with 340mb ram. But i mean ram like galaxy tab ob more. ;-)

Swap does no good for this device, as soon as it starts to swap it gets inresponsive because the sdcard is way to slow except maybe you have a class 16 card which for me is out of reach in terms of price...
Do Galaxy Tab appz use much more RAM? Because with a lot of widgets and synch apps I've never ever filled the 304 (now 340) megabytes of RAM to justify the swap...
Mine shows used 198 mb, free 106 mb... Totalling for 304 mb... Am I not supposed to have 512 mb ram ??
Is this defect with my arc or the whole Indian version of arc...
What are you guys getting... Please post so that I can go for replacement...
I would like ti tell you that though my stats show only 300 mb of ram, my arc is in no way slow... I run spb shell 3d and its very smooth...
Seriously need advice...

The Arc has 512MB for RAM, and 320MB for storage.
I believe some of the RAM is reserved for the operating system, and doesnt show up in memory reports. A bit silly IMO.
Similarly, i think the phone actually has 1GB of internal storage, but 320MB is what's left to the user after OS installation.

There's total of 380MB of ROM
I've got 133MB used and around 165MB free.

well, the official site says it has :
Internal phone storage: 1GB (up to 320MB free)
RAM: 512MB
so, my guess is, the android system use up most of the internal storage (~650mb) so we only have ~320mb free.
and the we only get ~350mb ram couse ~150mb is shared with the graphic.

Kernel etc needs RAM to, because of that we have only 343MB RAM for the users. Other phones have 400 or more MB available and they have also 512MB RAM.
I wish we'd have 400MB, too.
My Arc runs for 150 hours now and RAM is down to 40MB free RAM. Which causes launcher redraws when I open big apps

yeah, i wish we'd have 400mb too, is that posible ?
your arc runs 150 hours ?!
how is that possible ?
mine usually last 1 day (heavy use) or 2 days (normal use)..
I think it should be possible with a custom kernel to enable more RAM that's available to the user.
I mean uptime, not battery life

Hi every one , I started this thread to see the amount of ram people are being left with with no apps in the multitasking .the reason is because we get 1gb of ram and I still found my one x doesn't have a lot of ram left , my phone uses between 800 and 900 mbs of ram which is too much I think.I believe it is because of HTC sense 4.0 to be honest .Due to lag when scrolling with live wallpapers , I have a launcher as I believe it runs smoother.sorry for ranting but my question is this: how much ram does your phone use and what launcher do you use ?

Task Manager: If i stop all i have 594mb used and 382mb free.
In setting\apps: 585used, 392 free.

Good information about Android memory management here:
RAM: What it is, how it's used, and why you shouldn't care

Thanks for the responses , I wonder why mine uses so much ram , maybe howany apps I have , let's keep this thread alive
UPDATE:after restarting my phone it had about 300mbs free , that's good
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
If I kill all tasks I have about 400mb free. With apps running as normal, I have between 150 - 250mb free. I have about 85 apps installed.
Check this out , if you want more RAM free check this thread (I disabled all the bloatware and languages apart from English )

Curious with so much memory usage on hox,
I went in to Samsung showroom, and test SGS3, clear memory on its taksmanager, I've got 390MB afterward.
Didn't much different from my hox, so... theory about sense 4 bloat? debunked, touchwiz also the same.
If you want more maybe you need pruse aosp rom.
Another point is that a phone is NOT like a pc you don't need loads of ram sitting doing nothing. I've no probs sitting with about 190mb left when I'm using my phone. if there's more it just means it's being wasted

Most of the ram used is cached ram which is freed as soon as an app needs it. Normal apps actually use very little ram.
In other words stop worrying about it.
Thanks for the responses

How come you guys have so much free space? I have 378 used and 294 free. I have the NA HOX
I've check from setting>app>running,it says 674mb has been use and 309mb free without task killer.sometimes when I restart my phone,there's will hv 4xxmb available,but never can keep it anyway
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Why do you want lots of free RAM? I would rather have it being used and doing something productive than sitting there idle. That's the point of it, this aint a PC as someone else has said, you need to stop obsessing over something pointless.
This is my first post and my english is very poor.
Ok, as i can see the maximun amount of free ram that we can get to our plays is arround 250 mb, but my galaxy tab have the same ram (512mb) and i can get more than 300 mb with bloatwere. So anyone knows why?

MB and MB is totally different thing.

Their systems are different. Some system takes up more RAM but some don't. I assume your tab can't make calls and sms, so there will be more RAM available than phone.
I think Xperia Play have less than 512MB of RAM. I have seen other Xperia 2011 models with 512MB (Arc S and Neo) and they have more RAM looking at the app manager.
Obtain 250MB of free memory is an epic win in this phone even with the lightest GB rom.

My partner has an Arc S and the ram on her phone is alot worse than my play, I get around 234mb free ram and her arc S gets around 183mb free and both are on Gb stock
Sent from my R800i
I mean, if you sum the used RAM and the free RAM... Xperia Play has less total RAM than an Arc S. Or at least that's what I remember.
And it's possible to "block" some of this features ( via kernel or whatever ) to have more aviable RAM?

That's not how linux memory management works. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
If you never run out of ram you have no problem.

you can also use superchager and you get nearly 150-200 mb free ram back ...and your phone is then faster also for gaming and better battery life...just search supercharger script might be also in hamdir's thread also or in mwilkys gaming boost app thread in the themes and apps section and yes i will REALLY help
