I play high end games like fifa12 or realracing2 on x8 & I never needed 3GBs for swap!!!!!!
128mb is enough man
Swappiness depends to your usage (60 is android's default value ,higher is not recommanded by me it just slows down{our RAM memory's speed is 500mbs comparing to sdcard it might be 100X faster so using higher swappiness slows down alot }
For gaming swappiness 40-60 is good when just wanna multi tasking a value between 10-40 is good & enough
#swappiness is actually telling you how active is your swap partition

:| nAa 14 + any gingerbread or ics or even jelly bean rom (you only need 128 swap which needs a custom kernel )

Yup, I personally prefer swapper2 -no need to create swap every time u wanna use it(but should do a trick for this)

if you're running JB platforms, i recommend you to apply 256MB of swap partitions,,
then use class10 SDcard instead (set the swappiness to 100)
it boost the performance :victory::angel:
thanks to all developers !!!

Any one wants a free roehRamexpander??

this how you set the roehsoft ram expander.
first press the menu button on your device
and select the "SWAPall! off" until you see the you're "VMEM" to zero .
Then set the swappiness to 60-30
now the MINfreekb to "1024kb"
set the drive cache to 4096-6017
activate the hyper mode
do not activate the bad kernels
and set the SWAP size to 100MB to 4GB if you want
you will see the great result!!!
i've tested this on samsung galaxy V
sony experia Z3
and cherry mobile topaz (local phone brand in PH)

SWAP is NOT recommended. Its good for more RAM but it is NOT recommended.
But it isnt my choice it yours (OP)
Overclocking is important.....but our phone need more ram....i swap just to play GTA 3.......

@up how to use Swap on stock kernel?
@op u can also use e15i optimizer plus ram manager pro plus speed boost lite and sd booster. These programs are free on market. E15 optimizer is on this forum. I think that u did OC so I didnt mention it : p

You can change your kernel to incrase more. Sometimes some phone can have higher CPU frequencies, it depend on their hardware. So test it yourself, but first, disable "set on boot" option, or you will end up in a bootloop!!
SD Booster: This, your setting depends on your SD card class.
Chainfire3D: You can use this to improve your gaming performance. I think I explained in my other thread, right?
Odex quickens your phone booting time and system apps too...
Swap on stock kernel is not possible... sorry...
Supercharger: There is a guide in dev section. I will paste link later...
Best SD cache cleaner.. this I am not sure, I dont use it anymore.

1. Take out your SD and observe. You should see the class.
2. Its dinner time. Anyone can help me? (Chainfire & Supercharger)
3. I use supercharger and odex together, no reboots. Uninstall Ram manager.
4. I am not too sure... 11w34 should be possible. But I cant confirm...

[MOD][JB/ICS][8MAY] bestMultiTaskingFix 8 - Multitasking with no lags!

Hello to all.
I'm here again
STOP! THIS MOD IS ONLY FOR SAMMY JB AND ICS BASED ROM! IT DOESEN'T WORK ON CM10, ASOP, AOKP, MIUI OR OTHER ROM!
THE PROBLEM
Our gs3 has a very bad memory managment. Ram decrease, lags, memory leak and a lot of problem with multitasking are present on this wonderful device. We have a very important hardware but 1gb of ram and a bad software optimization make our gs3 not give a good feeling in heavy usage.
THE SOLUTION
bestMultiTaskingFix is a set of tweaks that allows to solve bugs management of memory and no possibility of mulitasking the galaxy s3.
Through this zip you can solve these problems and eliminate lags and manage a very large number of applications at the same time without having problems of slowness of poor memory.
In addition app phone, contacts and camera are locked in memory to make these faster to run.
I can play 2games togheter and navigate on internet with firefox and send messages with gosms without lags. Of course more apps are opened more is the risk of lags and leak of memory so be carefull.
FIRST OF ALL, do a Nandroid backup, as well as a backup of your sd-card content !
You're doing this at your very own risk, I'm not to be held responsible if something goes wrong
There is a very small risk of damage your internal memory since the continued operations of I/O of swap but is a very small risk.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you need
Galaxy s3 , root and custom recovery
Kernel with swap support
If you have Supercharger disable it!!
If you have Zram enabled, disable it!!
If you have HardSwap enabled disable it!!
Donwload the zip attached
Buil prop editor installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor)
Remove all memory app, task killer with oom or minfree settings like AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, System turner, rom toolbox or similar. You can use these but not for set up memory stuffs!!!
THE GUIDE
Download latest bestMultiTaskingFix
1)Edit your build.prop file
Open Built prop editor and change these value:
- davilk.vm.heapsize must be setted to 192m
- davilk.vm.heapstartsize must be setted to 8m
- davilk.vm.heapgrowthlimit must be setted to 64m
Then reboot
2)Go into recovery and flash file
a) Flash bestMultiTaskingFix.zip
b) Reboot your phone
Notes
Not use any memory app, task killer with oom or minfree settings like AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, System turner, rom toolbox or similar. You can use these but not for set up memory stuffs!!!
Not use supercharger!!
You can check if swap is working installing terminal emulator and writing free. If values of space in Swap line are different from 0 value, you are ok.
If you have lags, kill all process with a task killer like advanced task manager(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.taskmanager)

Updated minfree values in first post
Hi i have a couple of questions
1. What does your solution do exactly, can u explain in layman terms?
2. Why remove V6 supercharger? Because it conflicts with your solution or because it doesn't work as it should?
3. This is more of an unrelated question. If I already have supercharger installed default in my rom, using Autokiller together with it is ok or not?
This seems to hard isn't there a cwm file that we can flash. Thank you

Tomorrow I'll update the guide to make it more easy and with a cwm zip with the correct configuration of values all myself made!
I'm testing it from 36 hours and the result is excellent. Wonderful multitasking and no lags at all! Switching from nova 3 to dead trigger then to Facebook and Tapatalk then to nova 3 without lags is awesome! Now the power of quad core finally can come out!

Might be worth commenting on how battery life is using this guide?
It's interesting to see how much free RAM you have on your screenshots. I always seem to be stuck at ~100mb. Might give this a try!

Amount of RAM and "ROM"

Moin moin
I just noticed (and saw on wiki) that our ace has 384MB RAM and 512MB "ROM"
i put togetzer the numbers i had: system + data + cache = always around 400MB. What is the rest used for? i mean 100MB are 100MB if you know what i mean.
same with RAM. is it used by some kind of ramdisk or what is it used for? cuz we just have ~276MB. Also more than 100MB going "nowhere"
I read somewhere that some ram is used for GPU. true?
Thanks in advance and wish a nice sunday

There's system, data, cache, boot, binaries, a lot of partitions (including efs), the device's hardware controllers, etc. That's where 512 MB run off to.

*384 MB
Ace have 330MB RAM - when the kernel boots they is an info about it in dmesg, but only ~280MB is alivbe for the user, other is reversed for the GPU (mostly), audio processing and etc.

Memory of ACE
In my opinion you don't be worrie with the Mb Ram it's appear or not. be worrie with ROM,
The ROM is like an HD, and like you now the system android it's based on Linux, so like every system linux you have on less 3 partitions, and 1 of them have a type Swapp. and if this partition be small if the Ace don't have Mb Ram, he go to the partition Swapp use the Mb that's in fault.
So see the differences.
Ram 330+ Rom 512 or
Ram 330 + Rom (1st partition 250+ 2nd partition 150 + Swap 100)
Ram 330 + Rom (1st partition 350+ 2nd partition 150 + Swap 12)
and don't forget you have the micro SD with memory extra.
in my point of view this option is the best Ram 330 + Rom (1st partition 250+ 2nd partition 150 + Swap 100) because you have more memory to complement at RAM.

MiniCM10 questions

Hi guys, I've just installed miniCM 4.0.2 on my friend's x8: this is great, you've made this old 2.2 crap run like hell! I really want to thank all devs for this great job. And I have 4 questions:
- In future releases will kernel be updated via MiniCM Updater or there'll always need to flash tft via flastool?
- Is there a way to flash new kernels with cwm and/or without a PC/mac?
- Reboot issues on 4.0.2 stable can depend on kernel?
- Are these just ram/too many bkgrd procs issues that I can solve using a mount partition?
Kernels cant be flashed via our phone presently...(it might be possible in the future)

Also for other doubts you can post them in the minicm q&a thread or have a chat with them on irc.
I dint use minicm10 so cant help you presently...

no,no,no(oxoydo is same as naajb),maybe(dont use too much apps)

Thanks I'll post there for minicm specific.
For now I'll stick with flash tool... Hope to see an integrated solution soon.
If you want a fast, stable, NO LAGS and NO reboots...
Do what I did.
I tested minicm for a month now.
Best solution for me is:
1. SWAP 128mb with swappiness 60
2. KSM on
3.Purging assets on
4. Zram off (zram for some reason, lags and crashes my system)
5. Limit backround processes to 4
6. Force 2d rendering on
7.Disable HW overlays on
8. OC to 748 mhz with smartass 2
9. surface improvement ONLY color banding (without blur effect)
10. 16 bit transaprency
11. Entropy seeder
12. A2SD with dalvik cache on sd
13. Sd cache --> 512 kbs
My antutu score is 3911
Best so far...

Hello, on MiniCM10 (nightly - 31.12.2012) I have got 3924 points with similar configuration with some differences:
- 256 MB swap partition (swappiness 60);
- OC 768 MHz with Smartass v2 and undervolted;
- SD cache default (not changed).
Like above, no lags and reboots. Very fast.

how change swap size? And sd?

Better to use swap partition (create via pc "minitool partition home edition")
-swap partition is faster than swap file(a little bit)
-swappiness above 40~60 can decrease sdcard life.
-if u use swap so disable compcache in cyanogen settings(speeds up & make phone responsible.
-overclock more than 729mhz can harm our chipset

what is 40~60?
it % ?

Yes percentage
For kernel Swappiness 100 means : no difference between ram & swap partition , so whole system will slow down
For kernel Swappiness 0 means : swap partition should not be used at all!
#higher swappiness means more active swap( effects SD life)
#app swapper2 is a good option to controll swap!

Where do I set all these settings?
Is it all under performance section? Can't find all of them there.
Thanks for info anyway I'll try it out for shure.
Btw: is it a class 6 microSD enough? Tested with ubuntu is 5.7 mb/s writing and 19.8 mb/s reading
razgoth said:
Numbers 5,6 and 7 are in the Developers Settings or something called like that (in the System Settings). 5 and 7 you have to check after every reboot.
Number 13 You can use via third party apps (for example SD Speed Increase).
Number 11 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009217.
Swap and a2sd are native functions of ROM/kernel (numbers 1 and 12).
MicroSD class 6 is absolutely minimum for Swap, but it should works.

1. SWAP 128mb with swappiness 60
--- I had a 256 Mb swap partition but I haven't set any swappiness (where to set it BTW?)
2. KSM on
-- ok
3.Purging assets on
-- ok
4. Zram off (zram for some reason, lags and crashes my system)
-- ok
5. Limit backround processes to 4
-- left it default 'cause it's annoying to check every reboot
6. Force 2d rendering on
-- ok
7.Disable HW overlays on
-- left it off 'cause it's annoying to check every reboot
8. OC to 748 mhz with smartass 2
-- OC and UV just freeze my phone and forced reboots, so I left values to default.
9. surface improvement ONLY color banding (without blur effect)
-- ok
10. 16 bit transaprency
-- ok (default)
11. Entropy seeder
-- used this (new installation method) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36235699&postcount=462 and this was a real treat: this is by far the best improvement in performance ever (OC is nothing compared to this)
12. A2SD with dalvik cache on sd
-- dc2sd is working ok
13. Sd cache --> 512 kbs
-- the app permitted a minimum of 1024 as 1st step so I went for it and set on boot: ok
thanks for suggestions razgoth... especially entropy seeder (great)
can you tell me just one thing more: where to set swappiness?
I'll upgrade to a class10 sd asap, but for the moment is more than ok (coming from 2.1 stock **** now seems flying)

increase ram using SDcard????

As you know all the apps are getting bigger and bigger and Xperia so with it's poor memory of can't handle all of the apps.
Recently I have some bad time with the ram memory (see the attachment)
I read about an app called "ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP)" it's paid app that use partition from sdcard on ram and it needs a kernal that support swap.
Does anyone tried that app ??
Is there any chance of a hardbrick??
Device : C5303
ROM : Official CM13
Kernal: helium v24.
Thanks in advance
I don't recommend, this will brick your sd card more soon than natural time

No you won't get hardbricked but you'd be doing yourself a deservice as the act of using SWAP is CPU intensive and will degrade your SD Card to a large extent due to many r/w operations that are required.
