Hi! I want the same thing on my note but i can't find any kernel...none helps us! Anyway,did u manage to dualboot your rom official jb from Samsung with other rom?
Guys do nothing!! I would suggest you to use Hydracore Nirvana Kernel, it may have the support for Ram Expander!!!
How about using Custom Kernels? Like Hydracore or COH? It's a good kernel :good:
Hi guys,
Any news on this? I also have 4.1.2 and would like to use Ram Expander. Which Rom/Kernel works with it?
Thanks
Swap support requires tweaking in the kernel irrespective of what rom you are using..
COH kernel has swap support and i have personally used it along with ram expander.

Hi,
Thank you for your input.
1) Have you noticed any improvement by using ram expander on the note?
2) How can we be sure that ram expander really increases the ram by using the swap file? How do we test this?
3) Is it possible to install only your kernel with keeping my existing Rom? Just flashing that Kernel is possible?
Thanks for claryfing

#free in terminal emulator or open adb shell
this command will tell you if swap is active.. if the swap value is 0 then its not active.
Thank you for that.
What about Question 1 and 3 ?
3. It depends on the rom you are using. COH kernel is for touchwiz jb roms. If you are running same then you can change the kernel and try.
1. I have never felt the phone so slow to use ram expander. Although I hardly was on touchwiz.

Hi ,
I have a few begineers questions , I have a galaxy s that is running gingerbread 2.3.6 , is rooted and had a voodoo kernel (with recovery option) . I was thinking of possibilities of overclocking , can that be done with the setup I have ?
thanks in advance
You can easily overclock your phone with a root access with an application like this :
bit.ly/fnUFCD
There are lots of applications existing.
You can see on your kernel thread on this board what frequency is supported.
try Tegrak overclock or NSTools. Find other apps on Market.

thanks for the info guys , installed busybox and android overclock , but appears the kernel is not able to be overclocked as I got a message and the max frequency showing is 1000 mhz , would anyone be able to recommend a kernel that would suit - would like to keep things preety simple and straightforward at the mo
cheers

Semaphore is the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
thanks again , my phone is showing jvz suffix at end of kernel - show the semaphore jvz is the way to go ?
I am trying to avoid an expensive paperwight
Semaphore kernel can work on all gingerbread roms. So it is safe to flash semaphore 2.5 on your phone.

Will overclocking the phone significantly reduce battery life? Or cause any degradation of the phone due to excess heat?

Battery use will obviously be higher with the processor on more clock speed but there's no problem with the temperature. Remember, always overclock in minor steps,check stability and in this way you would get a stable phone
Hi,
I'd like to know which ROM is capable of starting up and run with less memory? What I mean to ask is, I want a ROM that starts up with < 150mb of ram and provide me more space for running my downloaded apps.
I've tried MIUI, CM9, etc., all starts up with 300mb utilized! Gives me only 30-50 mb space
I know my device is getting older Waiting for S3
Thanks,

Hi, does the android version makes any diffrence to you?
If it doesn't i will probbably suggest you to use GamerzRom.
the problem is that the base kernel of Gamerz is SemforeBM and you can't youse 720P quality while taking a video.
however, you can always use another kernel, though with BM the performence are awsome.
Try myics
I usually have 150 mob to spare
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I think Slim and Infinitum are best for RAM on ICS, GamerzRom best on GB.
For GB gamerz rom, i'm in v9 and when i start the phone it use 150mb of ram (200mb of free ram) for v10 it will be more
on ics (slim) you have kernel with 402MB ram
for my phone i still prefer gb and gamerz rom
Use ICSSGS RC4.2 + Devil2 0.72 XL kernel i got 200-210 mb free ram with this config.
Just use a stock froyo rom (2.2 or 2.2.1) like JS8.
JS8 is probably on of the best roms for our device, fast and stable.
Don't forget, if you flash another rom do a factory reset to remove previous garbage from other roms.
Use Slim Rom, always have 200 mb ram free for apps.

Are you sure? Its fast and support all Apps? How long are you using this ROM? How many Application/Game do you use?
Thanks!

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I dont mind about the Android version. GB is okay with me. But does Gamerz ROM gives more of usable RAM? How long are you using?
Thanks again!
Currently i don't use this rom because i got tired of messing up with roms and decided to keep my phone as stock as possible.
Before this decision i used the phone for months and i was quite happy, the performance is good at any level (Games, OS Smoothness), i don't remember any app that i couldn't use. Also the network and wireless levels were very good.
Also it's the stock rom with highest quadrant score if i'm not mistaken.
But keep in mind, each type of user has it's rom, so it depends from person to person.

Only ICS kernel with swap is devil 0.73 test version. Swap feature works great for many guys.
if want the ICS try slim sics or Aokp + devil 2.72 xl kernel
I'm om Aokp+ devil i have free ram with some apps running between 190 to 160 free ram
and if wanna Gb try gamerz i think the best GB free ram Rom
Thanks guys..
Thanks to everyone who replied.
I've now installed Slim ICS 3.1 (from WeUI) and happy about the performance, as I get solid 150-200 MB free RAM memory always. I will use this for 2 weeks and then update here about the performance with apps/games installed.
Also, I will install below ROMs suggested by you guys.
Gamerz
ICSSGS + devil
Stock froyo JS8 ( hopefully, I won't like it)
In Slim ICS, have to try (1) Devil kernel, (2) a kernel with swap (devil again - 0.73)
AOKP + devil
Thanks again!

If you want to stick with CM9 you must install a custom kernel. Try, for instance, harsh's kernel. You will find it in the development forum.

You have to flash Harsh Kernel first! Then settings>performance and set your CPU frequence.
Remain on CM9... GB is boring... really...
Thanks button is here↓ !!! just use it

If you seek stability from your rom i suggest you to flash Gingerbread rom because ICS still presents bugs like no hardware acceleration, camera problems and so on. In the development section you'll find a large variety of roms. For what concern the ram, android is designed to optimise the use of ram avaiable so you haven't to think as you're using windows's pc because a situation like yours is normal.
Hi,
Anyone aware of an application called "Ram Expander".
It virtually increases the Ram size of our devices by virtually creating a space on the SD Card and using it as a Ram, hence increasing the overall speed and performance of the phone.
Please find the link below :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de&feature=search_result
Before installing this app it is advised to install this one first :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo&feature=search_result
This one tells weather your phone and kernel supports this operation.
My question is I have rooted my I9001 and i am using CM9 ICS 4.0.4 and 2.6.35 Kernel by CastagnalT and it says that the kernel is not supporting so does anyone have have any idea which kernel supports this function?
Thanks.
Please tell me which rom and kernel should i use for my rooted

This kind of threads are forbidden on XDA - "best ROM thread".
You can do this: Install CoCore, install NoFrill CPU, change governor to PegasusQ in that app, and IO Scheduler to SIOPLUS or SIO. For ROMs, try and see what suits you best.
