Hey guys, I'm wondering if there's any way to display the available RAM on the status bar without having to install SBSettings?

I dont use SBSettings, and the only thing I want is to have RAM display on my status bar.

I know there is a tweak that displays it instead of carrier logo and also in NC, but I would like to have it in the middle of the status bar.

Anyone know of a tweak/mod that can do this?

Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry it should have been in jailbreak section :)
 
Springtomize 2 can do this for you, just look for it under the "status bar" section.

Edit: Go to Status Bar -> Use Custom Time : On -> Custom Time Mode : Time - Free RAM.

Respring and you'll see it at the top. Hope this helps :)

Hey thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately I would be not needing springtomize for the same reason as SB
 
I think S1rex released a tweak that replaces your carrier with your RAM if that's what you're looming for. Ill find the name if you want. Just let me know.

Edit: its called RAMCarrier.

No need to worry so much about ram and have to displays it 24/7
Free ram is wasted ram.
The iOS does a great job managing its ram memory.

I agree. I haven't had app crashing due to ram issues. Perhaps it's an issue with older devices running older Firmware.

not in my experience.


when i am at 95%+ of used RAM i sometimes experience apps crashing upon launch. i have to try two or three times until im successful (until the iOS figures out it needs to release more RAM for that app to open).

Really? I don't have that problem on my device. It's very very rare for that to happen but I have experienced it. In my cases it was a bad tweak which was fixed by either reinstalling it, rolling back the version, or completely removing it.

I'm using a 4S on 6.1.2. What device and iOS are you using?

Based off of one of his/her previous post, it seems to be the itouch 4th gen

Oh ok that makes more sense. The vast majority of these cases seem to be A4 devices. That is understandable since they have less RAM. Device owners with A4 chips need to be more cautious of the amount of tweaks they install. It's an unfortunate reality.
 
it has happened once recently with my IP 4S however.


BUT


i think i have found the root of the problem! memory management has been much more efficient since.


it is, of course, early days, but i am hopeful.
