Free Ram

[Phoenix111]

It seems like my phone is constantly using a lot of ram. Is there anything I can do to free up more to speed my phone up a little? I know that most say task killers are nothing more than battery killers as the apps will simply restart on their own. But are there any task managers, that anyone recommends? I thought I would ask as I always see people saying that they have around 200mb free, whereas I rarely have 100 free. Thanks for any help.

OP- some apps that you have installed may be taking up ram. Uninstall any you don't use.

Aside from that root and delete bloatware or flash a low profile rom.

I agree with this. You want your os using your memory. It makes things run smoother. As long as the memory is released when an app needs it you should be fine. Linux is actually pretty good at managing and making use of resources

My problem with people saying "don't use task killers" is when you start running low, Android will even kill your launcher(if it's a third party launcher), so if you exit an app you are running.. widgets, and your app drawer have to reload.

I don't like restarting my phone, but right this very instant, if I open an app and exit, it has to reload all my widgets.. if I open the app drawer, it has to reload all the icon positions.
