How do you use Compcache with linux-swap as a backup

How do you use Compcache with linux-swap as a backup? I dont understand the thread correctly that explains it I already have compcache.

You have to edit the userinit.sh file. Open it with notepad, then change the line to look like this:
insmod ramzswap.ko memlimit_kb=32000 backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
then reboot, and you should be good.

There are two ways to use an existing linux-swap as a backup to Compcache.
Let linux manage compcache and the linux-swap partition/file directly
Let compcache manage the linux-swap partition. *As of this writing, cyanogen has only included the .5 series of compcache which will not support a linux-swap file.
You need to first create the compcache swap device. I assume you are running a cyanogen kernel and you have compiled modules. Also I assume you know what your swap partition or swap file is called. e.g. A swap file looks like /system/sd/swapfile.swp, a swap partition looks like /dev/block/mmcblk0p3.
1. Linux managed:
Pros: Supports linux-swap file. Relies on established linux swapping priorities.
Cons: compcache wastes space as incompressible data remains in the compcache swap. Linux uses compcache until its full, then places everything in the backing swap.
First we enable the compcache swap device.
Code:
insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/xvmalloc.ko; #load the compcache memory allocator
insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/ramzswap.ko disksize_kb=24576; #create a compressed swap device with disk size 24576 kB
mknod /dev/ramzswap0 b 253 0; #initialize ramzswap0
swapon /dev/ramzswap0; #turn on compcache swap first so it has higher priority. (defaults as -1)
Next we either enable the swap file or the swap partition.
If you have a swap file then the next line is.
Code:
swapon /system/sd/swapfile.swp; #turns on second swap as priority -2, lower priority than above.
or
Code:
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3; #turns on second swap as priority -2, lower priority than above.
To check to see whether it works, you will type:
cat /proc/swaps/
and see either
Code:
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/ramzswap0 partition 24464 6584 -1
/system/sd/swapfile.swp file 31596 0 -2
or
Code:
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/ramzswap0 partition 24464 6584 -1
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 partition 31596 0 -2
2. Compcache .5.3 managed:
Pros: compcache can attempt to maximize compressed data in compcache and intelligently allocate to backing swap.
Cons: Relies on newer algorithms. Does not support swap files yet.
When cyanogen updates to compcache .6.x, you can use the swap file, until then, its just the swap partition.
Code:
insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/xvmalloc.ko; #load the compcache memory allocator
insmod /system/modules/lib/modules/2.6.29-cm/compcache/ramzswap.ko [b]backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 memlimit_kb=24576; [/b] #create a compressed swap device with disk size 24576 kB #NOTE! Memlimit currently ignored in current build. Default to 14 megs (15% memory)
mknod /dev/ramzswap0 b 253 0; #initialize ramzswap0
swapon /dev/ramzswap0; #turn on compcache swap, this includes the backing swap which should be invisible to linux.
NOTE: There is no need to enable any other swaps afterward unless you want a linux managed backing swap
If you type
cat /proc/swaps/
you will see:
Code:
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/ramzswap0 partition 24464 6584 -1
Use
cat /proc/ramzswap
and if you don't have a backing swap you will see.

3. Miscellaneous Notes:
As I typed this I realized I was pulling information from the .6.x tree and the .5.x tree. It's possible that the syntax for compcache has changed.
Also, if anyone wants to update the wiki with this, I'd appreciate it. I don't feel like formatting for the wiki right now.

Wow, excellent answer. Wiki material for sure - if no one's gotten it a little later, I'll take care of it. Gotta pretend I'm actually working awhile first.

I don't see adding memlimit_kb=24576 after backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 having any effect-- as you see, it is still limiting the size to 15% of the physical RAM.

Quick Compcache Question

I'm running the new Cyanogen release 3.9.6. After running the command I get this status screen
Code:
# rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 -s
rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 -s

"GoodCompress: 0 %"? What's wrong? Does this mean it's not working?
Thanks

yes it means its not working
cyanogen stated there were some issues with 3.9.6 so don't wory about it

Compcache was updated to 0.6 in this build. Your current scripts wont work.
Here's how to enable it:
Code:
modprobe ramzswap
rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 --init
swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0
To get stats:
Code:
rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 -s
No more compcache talk now

That's what I followed, but no luck.

where does it swap?
Hi,
I'm pretty new to compache... But where does it store the swap info...
I have a linux swap partition on my sd card, i was wondering does it swap there or somewhere else?
to me it looks like /dev/block/ramzswap0
But i don't know where that actually is. Seems like on the ex3 partition i have.

Did you check right after you enabled it? Because if you did then it did not have time to swap anything. Check in few min. That did the trick for me. If you did not enable it and tried to run stats you would get some kind of error, something along the lines of can't finde ramzswap0, does not exist.... can't remember exactly
Good luck

How to compile TWRP recovery?
I followed the guide here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23903-how-to-compile-twrp-from-source/
To summarize...
1. Install Linux
2. Set up CM10 build environment - this is sssssooooo easy and there are loads of guides available with just a simple google search.
3. Repo sync
4. Build standard cm10 from source
5. Delete the contents of the ~/android/system/bootable/recovery and replace with https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/ - i just clicked on the download zip button on the top left and unzipped into the folder but am sure there is a proper way of doing this... zip clone???
6. gedit ~/android/system/device/samsung/galaxys2-common/recovery.rc and add: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH .:/sbin
7. gedit ~/android/system/device/samsung/n7000/BoardConfig.mk and add the following to the bottom of the file
#twrp
DEVICE_RESOLUTION := 800x1280
8. cd ~/android/system
9. make -j3 bootimage (if you have a quad core processor make -j5 bootimage)
10. you can find your boot.img at ~/android/system/out/target/product/n7000
11. Copy to SDCARD and flash with mobile odin
12. Done!!!!!

good work. appreciate the effort you have put in.
looking into it now.

Finally here, good work. Will try it as i'm already using TWRP in my N7.

Team Win Recovery Project 2.3 for Galaxy Note (CM10 only)
If you do not know what TWRP is, click here first...... now you know what TWRP is (and how very cool it is!!!) we can continue.
Foreword:
I have looked at those with devices with TWRP with envy for the entire time i have owned a Galaxy Note and have been waiting patiently for an experienced Dev to compile a version for the N7000. After a year of ownership this has not happened so i have decided to go ahead and do it myself!!
Why have you called this a proof on concept?
For a few reasons:
1. I am not an experienced Dev... i have built CM6, 7 and 10 from source and done all the usual tweaks to my android devices but that is where my experience ends. This in itself is no big deal in its self but leads me to point 2...
2. This recovery may have MMC_CAP_ERASE / Brick Bug! I do not know how to check if it is present or not! Until an experienced Dev confirms MMC_CAP_ERASE has been fully suppressed you should assume this recovery is dangerous. As soon as an experienced Dev confirms the recovery is safe i will update this post. If it is confirmed it is not safe i will remove all links
3. I unfortunately to do not have time to maintain this recovery. As Samsung recoveries are included in the boot.img (kernel) it will mean the recovery will need recompiling every time a change is merged to the kernel in CM10. As development is still very active on the N7000 kernel i cannot make the commitment to recompile this that often
4. I am not a kernel Dev therefore i can only compile stock kernel with TWRP recovery. We all love (me included) a custom kernel with all the normal tweaks, OC etc. etc. I will never be able to achieve this so want to use this as the seed for somebody else to take and use to build there own custom kernel with TWRP recovery
5. It needs more extensive testing.... I have been playing with it for an hour this morning and everything seems to work fine but needs more testing.
I have included how to compile TWRP in post two... did i hear someone say enough talking, i want to try this out!!!
How to install
I have attached the boot.img at the bottom of this post.
1. Download
2. Copy to SDCARD
3. Flash with Mobile Odin
4. Enjoy!!
Please remember: This recovery may contain MMC_CAP_ERASE / Brick Bug! I do not known how to check! It is built from CM10 sources and there are TWRP ports for other devices so should be safe but i cannopt be positive! Use at your own risk!
Experienced Dev's: Any feedback on whether this recovery is safe would be VERY gratefully received!
As soon as any confirmation of this recovery being unsafe i will remove link immediately!

Based on item #4 (this is using a stock kernel repacked with a new recovery) - it will not be safe for flashing things.
For wipes and backups, it depends on exactly how you built it. Run strings on the binary...
Code:
strings recovery |grep MMC
If you see
Code:
warning: %s: Wipe via secure discard suppressed due to bug in EMMC firmware
The recovery binary is safe to do wipes/backups with, but as said above, if you used a stock kernel, it will be dangerous to flash ZIPs.
Also, of course, as this is a galaxys2-family device, the moment you flash anything containing a new kernel, TWRP will be gone.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. When I say stock kernel I mean stock CM10 kernel. This recovery is built by deleting the /bootable/recovery/ folder and replacing it with TWRP recovery. The rest of the build is standard CM10.

Some usage feedback: I found it quite hard navigating through a folder filled with many sub-folders and files to select what I want to flash...quite jerky UI and a lot different from the experience I get on my TWRP-recoveried tablet.
But great initial release dev - really, well done!

And is this Heimdall flashable or do you strictly recommend Odin only? I have never used Odin since it is blackbox and everyone I knew has been recommending Heimdall. I know the former is designed to best-case mimic the latter, but just want to cover all my bases.

Heimdall will work

Ok, so I configured Mobile ODIN Lite (thanks for the pointer, by the way, amazing app I thought I had to pay for when I saw it a few weeks ago; had no idea I could test a lite version on XDA, sweet). So, installed it and got the N7000 add-on. What partition do I work with: Hidden?

Just click open file, select the boot.img and then scroll down and click flash image.
You click yes to confirm and then it will flash and reboot

Sorry for all the silly questions, and thanks again. I just wanna be sure since the recovery, well, makes mistakes less serious and I rely on it heavily. Once that is broken fixing my phone will get much more technical than I have time for.

Are there anyone has done this type of work successfully?
Is it related to the flash tools hasn't support this device yet?

not sure if it makes a diff.. but have you rooted your device ?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have rooted the device. But as this procedure is in the download mode, is it related to rooted/non-rooted?
I just want to try another rom.
I have tried another way without modem.bin included and seems all the file could be uploaded to the device now.
But I still not sure about why the modem.bin couldn't been flashed

some other solutions I came across where here.. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/43 i.e. to try different versions of heimdell, try a 32bit operating system as opposed to 64 bit, and reinstall the samsung drivers. There is apparently a Heimdell 1.4 . http://www.glassechidna.com.au/2012/devblogs/heimdall-1-4-release-candidate-1/ . Lastly you could try a different usb cable and a different usb port. I think powered hubs sometimes work better.

[Q] P1000 wont boot after overcome

hi there,
I've got a problem on my GT-P1000, its bricked.. so i've tried to flash it with odeon.. but on windows it gave me an error..
The tab is well recognized but in every atempt i've made, the error maintains.. heres 2 pics of the procedure.
The files ive used were : GB_Stock_Safe_v5 .

/img22.imageshack.us/img22/5357/imagegbf.jpg
img708.imageshack.us/img708/5387/image15tx.jpg
.. after this, when i reboot it loops on samsung logo, or just go black screen with ligths on.
Then i've moved out to MAC OS, and tried with heimdall.. and this is the tricky part.
using the GB_Stock_Safe_v5 or GB_Stock_Safe_v1
the result is the same... so i dunno if I'm missing some step or what..
1rst , put it on download mode and connect it .
img546.imageshack.us/img546/2497/image2qy.jpg
2nd, on console I manage to install the firmware.
img515.imageshack.us/img515/7303/image3ch.jpg
No erros, clean install so far.
img688.imageshack.us/img688/4596/image4hx.jpg
3rd, I've enter again in download mode, and installed the clockworkmod kernel.. but only service mode appears..
img21.imageshack.us/img21/8845/image6oa.jpg
img201.imageshack.us/img201/2470/image7wq.jpg
So.. I've putted it again on download mode and installed the slim kernel that i've seen on another thread.
And so far so good.. with this I can install via zip the clockworkmod and the Overcome .
img845.imageshack.us/img845/8234/image9ly.jpg
img839.imageshack.us/img839/2677/image10wc.jpg
img832.imageshack.us/img832/9839/image12kf.jpg
img27.imageshack.us/img27/1439/image14oy.jpg
But then.. no Boot just keeps on this ...
If I flash with heimdall only the firmware it keeps looping on Android, or samsung logo..
Can someone help me ?

So on your "2nd" steps, at the end of it you managed to boot into a clean GB JQ1 ROM?
(which is what GB stock safe v5)
If so, next question,
which clockworkmode kernel you flash in step "3rd"
better be the zImage that is unpacked from Overcome Kernel 4.0.tar
Because you can't just stick any kernel.
I just did my own flashing of kernel in linux and it doesn't have those messages you capture
$ heimdall flash --kernel ./zImage

At this point, its reboots again to System Recovery ..
I restart the tab, Galaxy TAB Logo appears with Samsung under... the voice comes again " not enough space on partition bla bla " ... Samsung spinning logo apears and stuckk... !
Looks like a loop on logo, and doesnt do anything.

Search again for my last post on "heimdall flash", about less than a week ago.
You might have followed one of my bad earlier example command line ( although I don't think it matters for flashing overcome kernel).
Notice you stick hidden.rfs into dbdata like I once did.
Should have one for --hidden and one for --dbdata

Thank you for the reply.. but should I assign hidden.rfs twice for different parameters ?

There is a dbdata.rfs

Still the same.. it's getting stuck on samsung logo.

Grab a windows machine and try Odin.
Drivers and Odin are included in gb-stock-safe-v5
Or, just try out CM/AOKP.
By now, you should have overcome kernel installed, that means you can boot to CWM recovery.
boot to it and flash cm10/aokp or any custom ROM, then flash the rom zip file (you may need to do it 3 times, depending on the steps within the updater script),
then flash gapps and reboot into a new ROM.
For me, doing the GB-stock-safe-v5 + overcome for all intent and purposes are just to "restock" the partition and to install CWM.
