Root Ram?, Memory?

[rebel69ization]

I thought this phone had 512mb ram but when i look in running programs its only showing 300mb, am i looking in the wrong place? On the about phone description it says 512mb. Also its supposed to have 2gb of internal but shows 1.05gb, whats up with that?

Shared memory, RAM disk, and other things lower the real RAM. As far as the internal storage, you have several partitions, like the main system, data, and recovery, as well as the space needed to format the partitions. We use a partition that is about 1.05GB after formatting with EXT4, I'd say that's pretty good.

Yeah sections of the ram are reserved for the kernel and ramdisk to be uppacked into, the radio, wifi, camera all have ram dedicated that the user cannot access. After all it is set aside, your left with about 350 MB.

As for the internal storage, its a 2gb integral card, so formatted its about 1.8gb or so. Then take away 250+MB got the system partition, 180mb for the cache partition and the rest for various other system partitions and your left with a little over a gig of space on the /data partition which is where the apps are installed to. Hope this helps clear everything up!
