Hi Tixe Dope
I've moved the topic over to General Questions, think that fits better for your question.

How much ram you have available "per app" depends on your device and your Android version. Android limits the RAM per app.
How much ram G-Stomper uses right after the start mostly depends on your screen resolution. As higher the screen resolution, as more ram is used for the graphics.

The other thing is, if you load a large amount of samples or just large samples, then those use ram as well. As more samples you load, as more ram is required to keep them in memory.

Here's what you can do when you run out of ram:

Please send me a message from inside the GSS app (main screen / help / contact / ... type your name and send).
That message will provide your device specs in the mail header. With that details I can say more.

The other thing is the distortion you report. That has nothing to do with the ram, it's a performance issue.
First of all, turn the OpenSL audio system off:
Main Screen / Setup / AUD / Audio System = AudioTrack / restart G-Stomper.

Furthermore, follow the performance optimization guide at:

Also here, a message from inside the GSS app would be very helpful (main screen / help / contact / ... type your name and send)
