Mines currently using 2.4GB, but I've got 6GB so I don't mind. I think the 4GB version of my phone uses less.

Personally, I don't see why a phone should need more time 512MB ram and a single core processor.

right?
it's literally impossible unless on purpose you coded it like fucking garbage and just load the entire OS in memory without garbage collection or something

my """"BLOATTEDDDDD"""""" loonix DE that I customized the shit out of and run all kind of meme things like steam and discord uses only 300mb

What should it do? Just leave the available memory unused forever? You do know it's capable of shrinking if another process requires more, right?

only load whats needed when its needed. 400mb top for such a limited os

free RAM is wasted RAM.

Again, why? Do you need to see that you have 2GB available to satisfy yourself, but at the cost of the OS running slower? Dumbass.

Pretty sure Android always uses half your ram regardless of how much you have
