How do you guys can get so much free RAM?
I suppose it is possible only with swap? Or with absolutely fresh installation of ROM with almost no applications?
Most of the time I have between 30-45 MB free RAM and I do not use swap and have a lot of applications, few widgets...

I am using advanced task killer, have a widget on home screen, which kills apps and displays the information about free RAM, and it shows what I mentioned.
I will take a look at the app Fast Reboot, thanks.

have you all tried app called "Swapper for root"
i tried it,, first it ask how much swap do you want,, its 200MB by defalut, and check "apply on boot"option
after save, this app create one file in your sdcard "swap.swp" its 200MB size
i am feeling a bit different from my x8,, its quite fast..
but i still dont understand how it works :confused:

That 200mb is "virtual ram"...it means your phone uses that allocated 200mb to increase the amount of ram your phone can have...but be warned, increasing the SWAP size will shorten your SD Card's lifespan...200mb should be ok...don't go overboard like I did and put 1000mb(1GB) :eek: ....but if you already enabled compache in CyanogemMod Settings/Performance, then using SWAP is pointless :rolleyes:
