00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,370
Today I'm going to show you how to set the memory of your Flame device.

2
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:07,359
Out of the box the Flame device has a gig of memory. which is much more than most

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:09,820
Firefox OS devices out in the market have.

4
00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:13,710
To make sure that your applications are running properly you want to throttle the

5
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:14,710
RAM a bit more

6
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:19,070
so you simulate a phone that is not as fast as this one. You do that on the Flame

7
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:21,000
device by using a few things:

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,740
ADB and Fastboot. The first thing you have to do is on your phone to make sure

9
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:30,470
that the ADB and Fastboot debugging is set. For that you go into the Developer

10
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:30,949
mode

11
00:00:30,949 --> 00:00:35,670
and you have to make sure that debugging via USB, ADB and Devtools is set up.

12
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,329
That way you can use Developer Tools in the browser and you can use ADB on the

13
00:00:39,329 --> 00:00:40,079
command line.

14
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,250
On the Flame Wiki page that you see here right now

15
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:46,770
we have all the information for you to set the RAM so I'm gonna show you

16
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:49,539
quickly how to do that in the Terminal right now.

17
00:00:49,539 --> 00:00:53,129
You can actually just copy and paste what on that screen and see what's going

18
00:00:53,129 --> 00:00:53,730
on.

19
00:00:53,730 --> 00:01:00,139
If you do "ADB reboot boot loader" that will reset my phone and actually

20
00:01:00,149 --> 00:01:02,931
run it into the rebooting: you see the screen is going off

21
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:06,340
and it's starting to reboot it. Then I can use Fastboot

22
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:09,619
to set the memory. So I say it "fastboot OEM

23
00:01:09,619 --> 00:01:16,290
mem 512" and that one now sets the device RAM to 512 MB.

24
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:20,049
All I have to do then is do a "fastboot reboot"

25
00:01:20,049 --> 00:01:24,290
and then the phone reboots into 512 meg of RAM.

26
00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:27,820
You will see now that the rebooting takes much longer than on the device with

27
00:01:27,820 --> 00:01:28,650
more memory.

28
00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:32,740
So if we reset that back you will see that it's actually half the

29
00:01:32,740 --> 00:01:33,220
time.

30
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:37,610
That way you can adjust to RAM of the Flame device to the device that you are actually

31
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:38,610
targeting to

32
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:42,340
so you don't need another device. You might in the end want to buy one but

33
00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:45,079
it's a good opportunity to test if the performance

34
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,530
memory wise works on your device. So, use ADB and Fastboot quickly to set

35
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:51,360
and reset the RAM.
