Interested in getting zram for the N7, seems awesome.
Two things: I can't find a flashable .zip for the nexus 7 so it'd be appreciated if somebody could stear me in the right direction with some of those.
Also, when I have flashed it, what values should I set it?
Thanks

Zram is built in on many kernels. You can use trickstermod to turn it on. By default it uses 10% of ram as compressed swap space.
However any real uses for zram were on older devices with limited ram so the performance gain may be negligible at best.

What is the Compcache RAM Usage that you find best on your Magic 32b? I am trying to figure out what is best for me.
I am currently using the default 8mb. I do know anything over 20mb causes problems for the browser. I'm still looking for what works the best.

Some one had recommended 16mb and is working really good.

Dont use compcache that ***** slows your phone down.

From one side you are right, from the other side there are no alternatives if you want to run actual ROMs on the G1 with a decent set of background services. The alternative, i.e. running without compcache implies continuusly killing and restarting of apps by Android, which for sure will give you a worse user experience.

I prefer running very low swap (e.g. 10 swap) instead of compcache and that helps a lot..

Having previosly owned the htc evo 3d the devs in that forum had managed to uncap the fps our screen was limited to and also make there dual core processor always on only to improve benchmarks ect for the latter one i was just wondering if this is at all possible on our galaxy note. Any help or advice would b great.

Dual core on all the time?? Don't tell me you have a nuclear reactor the size of a Battery
If u look at the apps i posted the one by anryl tweaks the second core so u can set it independently. u can install the anryl app but im not sure it does anything when u apply any of the Tweaks. Maybe one of oir devs will take a look at this and decide it might be usefull/or not.

You can for example use the app "2nd Core", available on Play Store to set both cores On. It will work on some kernels but not all. Im sorry to say I can't advice about fps limits though, I don't know anything about it yet.

I used roehsoft ram expander on my old wildfire buzz to create a swap file on my sd card to increase the ram memory and it worked pretty well.
Is it possible to use this with the same mini? I ran a test using an app from play store, screen shot below. It may not be accurate. It says the kernel isn't compatible.

The reason for this may be because willy had a custom kernel and our device hasn't got a custom kernel, I came from wildfire aswell.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
Well maybe you're right although I tried to run ram expander and it says error no sd card. I set the correct location and it refuses to detect it.

Do you realy need more ram?? 1gb is not enough?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
While the system + running apps is using around 400 - 600 mb sometimes more, I don't want to have to clean up every time I watch a high quality video via my tv or play a heavy game. Some games optimally uses about 500mb, etc. No 1gb isn't enough xd.
Yes I can use su boost via console and it isn't hard, but if I could have more ram wouldn't that be optimal? Who doesn't want more? Why not just stick with a old handset if 1gb is all you'll ever need. I bet a year from now you'll want more when 1gb is relatively small
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 2
Yes you are right.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
So I guess the question is, what would need to be modified in the kernel to allow creation of the swap file in the SD? Things like this is making me interested in learning android development

Then maybe you should've gone with Note II or a new PC. S3 Mini is not for gaming.

Hello everyone! Having a 2GB RAM in nexus 4, I am curious how much max RAM have you people used. After running my daily apps like Facebook,8 tracks, flipboard, what's app, viber,xda, drop box, chrome, I have used a Max of 1.2GB RAM. Post your max RAM usage.

Lol. Yup. That extra ram Will be much helpful for the future updates. My friend's one x's 1 gig of RAM is now not sufficient for him.
Imho, nexus 4's power has not been used to the full yet. Optimization needs to be done, both in hardware and software. I believe we have a hardware that will go into full swing next year
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Most likely key lime pie will have more optimizations hopefully and it should debut this year.

That is true. Take for example the galaxy nexus was released two years ago and its going strong
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I dunno why 1gig of RAM wouldn't be sufficient but i don't mind having the extra. And KLP rumors say that the new Linux Kernel will actually be substantially more RAM efficient.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
i usually have between 1375-1500mb free ram at any point of my usage(about 1650mb after killing my apps). i also use autostarts to prevent apps from starting up in the background, and i use greenify to tame wild apps.
I've seen about 1.2-1.4gb of my RAM being used. But there was someone who kept complaining that the nexus 4 would close apps even if plenty of space was remaining. i think that person even started a thread & posted videos to prove it .

anyone can fake that video. can even make it kill the background apps sooner when very little ram is used. all you have to do is change the memory management variables by raising them. plus, there are roms out there that do that too.
Yes. I feel like that nexus 4 kills certain apps or refreshes despite having enough RAM.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Using Elixer 2 widgets, I seen to hover between 1.2gb to 800mb free ram. I don't really close anything, pretty much just let it run on its own. Stock not rooted or anything. I have probably 50 give or take a few apps installed.

Ram use age is not only dependent upon the applications running... If you use roms like xylon or liquid etc there are options to show how much ram is used by applications, cache and one other thing which i can't remember right now.. So basically my ram use age in real life had always been nearly to 1.6 1.7 GB!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
is jelly bean optimized for 2gb?, Ive had apps close not crash and I wonder why if it needed the ram, would changing the vm heapsize help?
I checked and I usually have 700mb remaining.
My Galaxy Nexus ran perfectly with 1gb ram so its probably more like JB uses ram pretty efficiently. More helps tho.

That much RAM? you are on a custom Rom? Could you list your apps?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Maximum RAM used on my N4 was about 800-900 MB. Stock everything, with some services running like Facebook,Whatsapp,8tracks,Lightflow and a live wallpaper ..
As for the people wondering why some apps appear to "close" on their own despite having enough RAM. Its the app's fault, the code is not written well and does not advantage of Android's multitasking capabilities.

Mine has free 900+ mb

I don't use that many apps..and yea iam on a custom rom...but i guess u didnt get what i am saying...most of the time what ubsee ass ur free rom isn't actually free... It's being used by cache and other things...what most roms show u is only how much ram applications use..as u can see from my screen shot... The phones ram is never entirely free !

Hi Guys,
Is there any way to optimize the RAM on the HTC one to get better performance.
I know that supercharger v6 is around but haven't heard of anyone using it on the HTC one.
Any other options?
You could always flash a kernel that allows over clocking both the CPU and GPU, and messing around with the governors. Memory management is already rather efficient.
What ROM are you on?

Optimize in what way?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Optimizing RAM use won't give any practical performance increases unless you're doing so many things that you're literally running out of RAM, which if you are, you really need to close down some apks.
Android free up space automatically. Have not yet or never on any phone encountered low RAM warnings.
