Hey all, this is a straight forward one:
Out of all the ROM's you guys have used which one uses the least amount of RAM? Physical download size is not important.
A ROM that does not start These questions are asked for ages and its hard to tell.. i don't think anyone here can give you a good answer. Probably a stock rom uses the least amount of RAM.

I dont agree ...stock gb sucks up ram like anything

Thanks for the quick replies guys, I only ask out of pure curiosity. Right now I'm running Cheetah V2 and I typically have around 100MB of free RAM for apps, just wanted to know if it got any better than that
Oh quick question again, anyone ever used the "auto memory manager" in ROM Toolbox? or any app similar to that, if you all did what settings did you use?
StockLite or Miracle v2

Why do you want free RAM? its a waste surely? Have a look at how android manages its memory then ask again...........

I run a lot of apps in the background i.e. custom launcher, tasker, ics keyboard etc. and It sometimes just bogs down and android goes all retarded and does not close some of the unused stuff, so hence my question about the lightest rom on memory, i'm just looking for that little extra.

Best thing you can do is get Rooted and remove unnecessary apps or Flash a Custom rom with bloatware removed Stock gets laggy after a while and RAM usage is too high too

Freeze gmaps if u dun use it
Also there is a script to stop media server ( saw it today In some section) use them
Dun install what is not used
And try using stock launcher not heavy ones like spb

frnds.. i want something(rom or kernel or anyting) that will give me 250mb ram(if 250 not possible then anything that will give me as much ram as possible)
But i also want the battery..
help me frndssss
don't think 250 is possible with ICS on 512MB.
some roms claim 200, like Zperience or Aroma? but i haven't tried can't confirm. i think anything over 100mb free after finishing boot is good.
the way Android uses RAM though this is maybe misleading, free RAM by itself isn't really useful, but i know what you mean..

Why you need so much free ram?
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
Try Terra Rom or stock rom with all crap deleted , free Rom doesn't mean that phone will be faster.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
actually i just noticed on a brand new phone with sony official .54 ics installed, nothing removed:
200mb free RAM!
on first boot was 210mb, now is around 185mb on 3rd boot,
weird because i know after setting up apps and accounts etc, AND using Speedy Droid to remove lots of sony stuff, she had only about 50MB free, after a fresh boot. not sure why i have so much more now.

i know.
this phone is slow if you run many complex apps because 512MB is not enough for ICS (google target was 1GB).
free RAM after startup is still a rough guide to how much memory the base ROM is using. do you have a better suggestion?
the comment about 200mb on stock was because many 3rd party roms seem to think they've acheived something when they show 200mb free. i found this is almost same as stock.
I was answering OPs question: no, probably no fully functional ROM gives 250MB free after startup, but the stock .54 can give 200 ish before you install, configure or run anything. then you'll find you have very little free and things tend to get laggy.
if OP posted more specficially about his problem maybe someone can help further..

Free ram is wasted ram when it could be used to cache apps for faster loading,except when it drops to 0 and apps keep restarting.

I need to ask what does it takes to make SGA-i running stable,lag free and worth keeping.
I tried almost every thing (roms,kernels,tweaks and mods) even CM but the overall performance was not convincing.
So:
-what the ultimate combination of rom and tweaks should I use in order to make 100% use of SGA-i?

Well, there is no best Rom in XDA. Try out different roms. See which ones you like and see their performance.
Memory Wise: partition your SD card and if you want, increase internal memory with a cronmod script.
I'm pretty sure their are different scripts to increase performance and definetly work...
And kernal wise, they can either come with a rom or you can flash it seperatly.

Sell the phone. Put some money on it and buy another phone without a Broadcom chip!
Stock rom without any tweak is Lag free! With pureperformance tweaks its pretty usable. And stock based custom roms we have they are good and stable. CM7 has bugs but performance is top!
But as i understand you want a S3 mini performance from Ace-i which is impossible! So changing your phone is only option left...

yes CM7 has great performance and makes our device even near to higher devices,but right now it is useless, and this was the last solution for me!
I came to a conclusion that whatever we do to this device,no thing changes because it has severe hardware limitations.
So you are right changing it is the only solution but right now I have to keep it because I have no money and the prices in my country are very very very high

Man, we cant say to you which is the best rom, just try by yourself.
If we say that some rom is better than other, then we are disrespecting other rom makers, please, understand it.
Search in s5830i development section
i think you can try the stock rom and root it? its probably the most stable rom if you dont like experimenting

My personal Opinion: I use Touchwiz Ressoruction. You can look at the Thread for that in the dev section. It is a nice and smooth rom with the look of S3 (It has Rafael.Baugis Kernal). This is only my opinion. I respect all the other Devs who make amazing Roms, Tweaks and Kernals. :beer:
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
+1 for Touchwiz Ressoruction, currently it's the only stable ROM around, it's very smooth and lag free.
OK guys..soon I will try touchwiz resurrection and give you my feedback
but one last thing, Iam struggling to play youtube flv which I downlowded in my device..can anyone suggest a solution!!
Every stock Rom is stable... Not just touchwiz resurrection.
Want a pure bareboned Rom? Retribution beta 4 extreme bareboned,
The smoothest cm7 Rom I've used is miui.

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for a good rom for a while now, and everytime I find a rom which claims to be lag free, has a lot of free memory or other tweaks that may add on it's performance I try it out. Just to be dissapointed. I always have lag, My camera is never as fast as it should be, and 'out of the box' I always have memory problems.
I always follow the exact instructions as displayed, and never forget to wipe. So how come my phone never works as fast as it should?
Is the xperia U really that bad or am I just expecting too much from the devs?
Right now I am running Miui V5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482327) which claims to be lag free, stable and 185 mb free ram. I never have that much ram.
What is going wrong here?

I guess u should downgrade to GB or Latest Xperia u firmware b.1.100.And about the question u ask about ram I think u should delete some online apps that u don't use such as Google plus, Facebook,Twitter,Line,Viber,Skype...etc..etc(only that u don't use)

Is there any keyboard, launcher, and any system replacement app that uses lesser ram than the stock 2.3.5 apps?
