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.
