Hi, yesterday I read all threads from mini 2, and I saw that the first cm10.1 have more Mb of ram, and then it have been reduced to 397! Why?:eek: @TheWhisp explain : ,,Because SAMSUNG knows the best" :confused:

Oh my God this is amazing. It's very strange.. I think that having 414MB in RAM with Mini 2 drivers you can't do a lot so TheWhisp thiked to come bak into 396/397 MB in RAM. Personally, I don't like so much Mini 2 drivers

Yes, but... More ram result more responsive system without lag and better performance. Correct me if I said something wrong.

I'm using my GT-I8150 here and it has 352mb of RAM with stock ROM, we can have kernels up to 416mb. Tho some chose to use the 352mb of RAM because its more stable. Developers made HM kernels which stands for High Memory and its 377mb of RAM. VHM for Very HM, RAM varies with 408 or 416mb. Personally, I'm using 408mb cos its smoother and there are lesser system crashes :)

Because the extra RAM is taken from other drivers - ADSP (video decoding/endocing and camera) and MDP (display, GPU), meaning these device have less available resources.

So, mini 2 have 512 mb ram which is used for drivers and config. files, and the rest is used as avaiable os ram. But is possible to have at least 400 free ram? ( deleting the license and disclaimer text from sources?)

Don't get confused. Licence/disclaimer texts etc have no impact in ram..

    Yes you're right, more RAM = better performance! :good: But I still think that it's an hardware problem or kernel or both (?) :rolleyes:
