Today I'm going to show you how to set the memory of your Flame device.

Out of the box the Flame device has a gig of memory. which is much more than most

Firefox OS devices out in the market have.

To make sure that your applications are running properly you want to throttle the

RAM a bit more

so you simulate a phone that is not as fast as this one. You do that on the Flame

device by using a few things:

ADB and Fastboot. The first thing you have to do is on your phone to make sure

that the ADB and Fastboot debugging is set. For that you go into the Developer

mode

and you have to make sure that debugging via USB, ADB and Devtools is set up.

That way you can use Developer Tools in the browser and you can use ADB on the

command line.

On the Flame Wiki page that you see here right now

we have all the information for you to set the RAM so I'm gonna show you

quickly how to do that in the Terminal right now.

You can actually just copy and paste what on that screen and see what's going

on.

If you do "ADB reboot boot loader" that will reset my phone and actually

run it into the rebooting: you see the screen is going off

and it's starting to reboot it. Then I can use Fastboot

to set the memory. So I say it "fastboot OEM

mem 512" and that one now sets the device RAM to 512 MB.

All I have to do then is do a "fastboot reboot"

and then the phone reboots into 512 meg of RAM.

You will see now that the rebooting takes much longer than on the device with

more memory.

So if we reset that back you will see that it's actually half the

time.

That way you can adjust to RAM of the Flame device to the device that you are actually

targeting to

so you don't need another device. You might in the end want to buy one but

it's a good opportunity to test if the performance

memory wise works on your device. So, use ADB and Fastboot quickly to set

and reset the RAM.
