[Q] To those with Virtuous Unity check your ram usage

[Noobsterz]

Hey guys I was just wondering what your ram usage for the Virtuous Unity was, so post a screenshot or just list the info


I usually had atleast 300mb free with stuff running when I was still running CM7.1. Did I flash my rom wrong? or is this normal?

what I did.

1) Flashed with rom manager
2) Boot to recovery manager
3) Delete old files in recovery manager
4) Install Virtuous Unity from Zip
5) Installed the rom cleaner
6) Reboot

Is it just me or does this rom demand a lot of ram? I feel this really affects my battery life in the long run. Cheers

The Sense UI is big and will use more RAM than CyanogenMod. But remember, unused RAM is wasted RAM! Seriously though, modern Android does a pretty good job of freeing up RAM from background process as needed to accommodate the active app.

Yes, as said before me, this is perfectly normal. As long as your average is above 100MB free - you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Really. so do you run around swimming in all the pools you see?

an empty pool is a wasted pool! !

Sense is a RAM HOG has stated. But some of us like the slim down to business size of CyanogenMod. There is nothing you can do with Sense that we can do with AOSP.

really? This is becoming a flame war?

But, since you asked... speed dial without a separate app.

I'm not turning it into a flame war.

If you like Sense ROMs that's fine by me. Heck i used VU for weeks. There is nothing wrong with them. But there isn't a major draw to them over AOSP ROMs. If Team Douche over @ Cyanogen could get a camera that matched the Stock Sense in quality i'd never leave. But with a 2yr old i need a good camera / cam-corder.

LOL. I've only recently started flashing ROMS and I'm sure I'll be giving other flavors (CM7, MIUI) a try too. The variety and choice is part of the beauty of Android.

He meant - speed dial in dialer, not on the home screen. And T9 contact recognition in dialer. And even when using another app on AOSP - you're stuck with either the ugliness that DialerOne makes, calling stock phone app to clear the notification, or without the ability to clear missed calls notification by tapping on it.
Also - camera, as you mentioned.
Also - proper Exchange support and proper mail application.
Also - proper copy-paste capabilities way before AOSP got them, and Sense browser is still much better in this department - stock Gingerbread sometimes misses the cursors position. Sense doesn't.
Also - ability for proper cursor positioning without trackpad (zooming glass).
Also - quick toggles panel.
And the most important thing - all that without making a single change in the system, without downloading and paying for anything.

There are plenty of things that Sense does right compared to AOSP, at the price of using more memory. Moreover, Sense pre-caches apps to memory, unlike AOSP (which stopped doing that in Gingerbread). Since this phone has memory to spare, and running 100MB or 300MB free memory doesn't make any difference besides the psychological effect of seeing the number - Sense or no Sense becomes a matter of personal preference.

So, the high ram usage doesn't eat up my phone battery faster?

most of your ram is being used by background processes. that doesnt eat up your battery, but what does is high cpu usage.

on a side note i prefer sense as its functionality is greater than other roms ive tried, both on my mt4g and xt720. to each his own tho

+1. Couldn't have summarized it better.

It's awful... I never have more than 100MB of free RAM space. And there doesn't seem to be any app that show who's eating up all of that.

System Panel Lite will show you everything.
And I see you didn't read this thread, otherwise you wouldn't be writing what you wrote. As long as you don't get below 40MB free RAM - you're fine.

No, I read it

But that is an excellent app, thank you for telling me about it.
