00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.370
Today I'm going to show you how to set the memory of your Flame device.

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

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:09.820
Firefox OS devices out in the market have.

00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:13.710
To make sure that your applications are running properly you want to throttle the

00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:14.710
RAM a bit more

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

00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:21.000
device by using a few things:

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

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:30.470
that the ADB and Fastboot debugging is set. For that you go into the Developer

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:30.949
mode

00:00:30.949 --> 00:00:35.670
and you have to make sure that debugging via USB, ADB and Devtools is set up.

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

00:00:39.329 --> 00:00:40.079
command line.

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.250
On the Flame Wiki page that you see here right now

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

00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.539
quickly how to do that in the Terminal right now.

00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:53.129
You can actually just copy and paste what on that screen and see what's going

00:00:53.129 --> 00:00:53.730
on.

00:00:53.730 --> 00:01:00.139
If you do "ADB reboot boot loader" that will reset my phone and actually

00:01:00.149 --> 00:01:02.931
run it into the rebooting: you see the screen is going off

00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:06.340
and it's starting to reboot it. Then I can use Fastboot

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:09.619
to set the memory. So I say it "fastboot OEM

00:01:09.619 --> 00:01:16.290
mem 512" and that one now sets the device RAM to 512 MB.

00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:20.049
All I have to do then is do a "fastboot reboot"

00:01:20.049 --> 00:01:24.290
and then the phone reboots into 512 meg of RAM.

00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:27.820
You will see now that the rebooting takes much longer than on the device with

00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:28.650
more memory.

00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:32.740
So if we reset that back you will see that it's actually half the

00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:33.220
time.

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

00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:38.610
targeting to

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

00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:45.079
it's a good opportunity to test if the performance

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:50.530
memory wise works on your device. So, use ADB and Fastboot quickly to set

00:01:50.530 --> 00:01:51.360
and reset the RAM.
