Maximizing ram of x8

Hi. I really appreciate the kindness and willingness of everyone here in xda. U guys help many people and I salute each and everyone here. A big thank you from me! (Sorry i cant hit all the thankyou button for everyone)
Anyway.. i just have one problem with my x8. Its about the small ram available for use. I only have a total of 175mb of ram and it lags my phone so much. Any advice on how can i maximize my ram? Any apps that can help?
Again, i really would appreciate any help and guide.. salamat! (Thank you in Filipino)

use the semaphore app to set low memory value to 64 mb, more free memory means less lag when you run something. you get another 15mb or so witb bm kernel. The govenor basically controls how fast or slow the cpu runs and reacts to demand. Smartassv2 is responsive, especially with sio i/o scheduler. use semaphore app to set readahead to say 512mb, you might also like the more sensitive screen.

I thought that with the "bm" kernal you lose HD recording.

You do lose hd recording, but you can still get great videos. If you do need full hd recording, flash non bm semaphor, after recording, flash bm back. Its very easy with sgs flasher

Swap Memory support for Cm 7 (Cooper)

I have samsung galaxy ace S5830 running on Cm 7 ( 20130301 )Nightly build ...i mst say this rom is really awesome all features/apps working,only thing missing is Swap memeory support
Using Link2sd i have created swap partition by refering guide on how to create swap partiton on xda also i use a 8gb class 10 sd card, but when i try to run Swapper 2 it gives fail message also tried Ram expander it says ur kernel is not supported for swap
Had already tried Cm 10.1,though it supported swap but it really has big battery life problem not suitable for daily use.
So i want to use swap in my current rom ,can anyone plzz tell me how to activate Swap in this Rom.

Try the PSN modded firekernel it has swap support..

If you install the new kernel and the swap partition isn't mounted automatically, install Swapper 2 from Google Play. However, you need a kernel with swap support. So try the one already mentioned.

[Q] Revive my X8??

Ok last week i had an incident with my HTC One X, and completely destroyed it.
My contract is finished in June, so i want to hold out until getting a new phone, until then i dug out my "old" x8 and installed a cheap SD card to it.
I've rooted, unlocked bootloaded and tried a few ROMS, however the experience is the same - Slow, laggy, & crap
Maybe i have unrealistic expectations for this phone but i don't remember things being this bad when i used it a couple of years ago.
Does anyone have any ROM, App or other suggestions that i can do to revive my phone??

You've unlocked bootloader .....install custom kernel
my suggestion:
KERNEL:nAa
ROM: Ginger DX v31b
Don't forget to Overclock it
RESULT:SUPERFAST PERFORMANCE

maybe u use jb rom, next time use gb roms
Sent from my E15 using xda app-developers app

If it is performance you are looking for, I would suggest the minicm 7 ROM with nAa14 overclocked to 748 Mhz.
if you want jellybean, you should flash the JellyBlur ROM with nAa's JB kernel ..

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've tried tons and tons of Roms today, including your suggestions.
There doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of difference regarding the lagging, hesitation, and lack of smoothness when scrolling.
Are there any standard things i can do that are applicable across the board regarding speeding things up?
I overclock to 700mhz, and set the governer to "performance"
what swap size should i use?
Should i buy a faster SD card and do swap-to-sd?

Kernel
You installed a custom kernel??????????????

Perfomance is laggg, use smartassv2

try overclocking it to 748MHz with a min of 245 MHZ and use the smartassv2 governor ..
and also disable all the animations ..
---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------
if you up for a little more work,
Partition your SD card into 3 .. use link2sd (about 200 mb) and swapper 2(128 mb) ..
It will free up some space on your phone memory and increase the performance

Hey thanks for the tips everyone.
I'm currently on GingerDX, quite happy with performance. Still looking to better things though i'm a perfectionist.
Any apps i can rip out?
Any apps i can install?
What about Swap?
Would FroyoBread be faster?

Well, in my opinion, gingerDX and minicm7 are the fastst GB ROM's out there ..
you could try the following ..
1) using link2sd, uninstall all the unwanted system apps .. especially DSP manager . if you don't use it much .
and link all your USER apps to the SD card . .( 2nd partition .. link2sd wont be able to recognize the 3rd partition.. keep this in mind when you are partitioning the SD card ..)
try to keep your internal memory as free as possible .
2) use Swapper 2 with a 128MB partition . ( 3rd partition)
3) disable boot animation, and all other animations ..
you could also try using the seeder app ..
and ADW launcher .. the smoothest launcher for GB
oh, and also select the 'allow always' option in the superuser app ..
hope this helps you

[KERNEL] IZS Kernel Diana3 v0.4 with SWAP

Hi everybody!
Since IZS v2 I'm having problem with speed, recording videos, slow screen wakeup, etc... In order to solve this problem, here is the IZS Kernel Diana3 v0.4.
The kernel is based on this commits:
https://github.com/Huexxx/diana3
https://github.com/Huexxx/diana3RD
But have a difference, it have SWAP support!
I recommend to use IZS v1.1 as base and flash this kernel.
In order to use swap, flash TURBO BOOST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133
I have configured dual SWAP: 50Mb in Cache and 120Mb in SYSTEM.
To install:
Make a NANDROID!
Go to recovery and flash the ZIP
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
If you want, I can share some tweaks I use
Note: Use this kernel at your own risk. I don't have problems but that doesn't mean you wont have them. Some users reported that this kernel brick their phone. Since I can't replicate that (and I'm not a dev), I can't help much.
Big thanks to Huexxx and Evisceration!

You can flash this over any version of ICS official (but I only test this on IZSv1.1 and IZSv2). My recommendation is to flash IZSv1 + IZSv1.1 update and then this kernel. This weekend I've wipe my phone and put IZSv1 + IZSv1.1 update and then flashed this kernel and it feel much faster.

Why izs v1.1 and not 0.6 kernel with swap,do u find it better just asking mate,cause izs v2 has stuff like disable fast dormacy,enable f sync,?Also do u think that kind of swap is better from sd card swap,cause with 300mb of sd card swap i could play games i could not before,oh yeah why 40 swap value better than 60?

Because 0.6 kernel have at least 2 problems: slow screen wakeup and video recording. With this, it is solved.
Using swap from sdcard, and I quote from TURBO BOOST thread:
Disadvantages of a swap file on your sdcard:
A sdcard is always slower than internal memory
You may NEVER unmount the sdcard or connect your phone to your computer, because you then just kill your swap file – it is the same as pulling out the Ram of your running computer!
Disadvantages of a swap partition on your sdcard a.k.a. HARD SWAP:
A sdcard is always slower than internal memory
You will need a separate partition on your sdcard
You can connect the sdcard to your computer, but you cannot unmount and remove it without powering off your phone – you would kill your swap space immediately!

Bye the way, if you have enough space in /data, you can have triple swap. In the limit, I would say 50MB in /cache, 150MB in /system and whatever space left in /data. Just try and see.

Thanks for your hard work. its really good

It didnt boot on izs v1.1 neither on izs v2,it stuck on lg boot logo not the bootanimation,what the hell??????

To change swappiness in IZS a little tricky. But here is the flash for IZSv1 and IZSv2.
The less value in swappiness favor more RAM. The RAM is faster than the swap files. But that depends on your usage. I have swappiness at 60 now.

No. It is only the kernel. If you use TURBO BOOST it makes swappiness at 100. If you flash the zip in the previous post, you will have 60

So what should i flash? Turbo Boost or your swappiness modification file?
Edit. Turbo Boost is really good, but I can only use dual swap (cache + system), because with swap in data phone will not boot.

Both The TURBO BOOST implements the swap, the swappiness modification file changes only a few values in swappiness.
