I have 0 swap still using scripts swap to cache and swap to zram. I have put these in system/etc/init.d but was there anything else I should have done to get them started?

Try executing them manually in adb or terminal emulator and reading the output:
Code:
su
cd /etc/init.d
sh 22swap2zram


the output :
': No such file or directoryck/zram0
swapon: /dev/block/zram0: Invalid argument

I am noob , and do not understand linux, please help n thanks

device:SK17i, ROM: HYBROM v16, kernel: ragekernel v2.7

HusinSam, did you use windows notepad to edit scripts? It inserts incorrect line breaks. Try redownloading scripts from the first post, I've edited them.

Zram swap scripts is WORK

HusinSam, did you use windows notepad to edit scripts? It inserts incorrect line breaks. Try redownloading scripts from the first post, I've edited them.

yes, I use windows notepad to edit it :eek:

re-download and....
YES!!! its WORKs.... :D

now my swap is 128MB (check in terminal and using A2SDGUI)
my free memory now around 70-90 MB :) versus without swap at 20-50 MB :(
Swap to System

thanks DuMOHsmol for the scripts :D

Also post how you did it...i'm tryng to enable swap without sucess at all.... sry for nb question tnx...

Just follow the instruction in page one PRECISELY ;)
then voila, the swap will exist

check it using "terminal" and type "free" to see the swap file exist or not

PS: after using swap file, my XMP work more smooth than before, maybe sometimes a bit lag of 1-2 second (previously, more than 5-10 second, overclock 1,9 Ghz, SmartassV2 + noop)
my installed app counted at 100++ (yes, my SD-ext free left 5MB, internal free left 30 MB) :( ...

How do you download the scripts? I tried using Opera, the Xda app, and normal browser but it just sends me to Dropbox showing what's on the script?

this kernel is great, I've always used a script that uses a partition of sdcard formatted as linux-swap swap and never gave me problems, so I'll keep using them, you do not know how will the system or of the partition the cache and do not like to create a. swp so I will continue with the one I use is simple but I've always worked. For all demà s very well, in fact I think the battery has improved me XD

Is it possible to enable gpu overclocking?There is/are kernels for neo in experimental state that support ocing and as far as i know share the same gpu.

    This is my kernel, it's based on stock SE and Sony's kernel sources, with some things from DoomKernel by DooMLoRD (so go and say thanks to him, and other developers too).

    It has:
    - Overclock up to 2Ghz
    - CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
    - Prerooting
    - CPU Governors:
    • brazilianwax
    • smoothass
    • smartassV2
    • SavagedZen
    • interactiveX
    • lagfree
    • minmax
    • Scary
    • smartass
    • interactive
    • conservative
    • userspace
    • powersave
    • ondemand
    • perfomance
    v2 added:
    - Xperia Mini support
    - Tun/tap interface enabled (VPN, ipv6)
    - Swap support enabled
    - Two way call recording support added
    - I/O schedulers:
    • noop
    • anticipatory
    • deadline
    • cfq
    • bfq
    • vr
    • sio

    v2.1 changed:
    - disabled NFS and CIFS (battery drain fix from DoomKernel), let's see if it can really increase battery life.

    v2.2 changed:
    - moved to from 4.0.2.A.0.58 to 62 source, though I didn't see any changes
    - added 0% battery workaround patch by Bazoocaze. I don't even know what it does but it seems to be something useful since everyone includes this in their kernels :D
    - New cpufreq driver from DoomKernel. You can experience some problems with overclocking now (my phone becomes unstable at 1.8GHz now, instead of 2.0), but phone eats much less battery in sleep. I've also changed 1018Hz to 1024Hz and 249Hz to 245Hz because those new numbers looked wierd :)

    v2.3 changed:
    - moved back to 4.0.2.A.0.58 source (just to make sure that everything will work).
    - updated version number in ramdisks to 62.
    - removed 0% battery workaround patch (it's useless on our devices).
    - reverted old cpufreq driver with small fix. It should be stable now and phone seems to eat less battery than in 2.1. (thanks himasura for lots of testing)
    - salvaged some ram.
    - enabled NTFS support.
    - enabled usb-storage driver, so you don't need to manually load usb-storage.ko now.
    - Version number now shows version of kernel (#23=2.3).

    v2.4 changed:
    - Now phone lights up blue led to show when you can enter recovery (thx to DooMLoRD).
    - Minor changes in ramdisks.
    - Enabled hid drivers for microsoft and a4tech.

    v2.5 changed:
    - Re-added CIFS
    - Enabled ext4 support
    - Added zram and cleancache drivers
    - Added lulzactive governor
    - Root fs now mounts as rw after boot.

    v2.6 changed:
    - removed lulzactive governor as it wasn't working properly (thx to kamarush and others for pointing that)

    v2.7 changed:
    - moved to sony 4.0.2.A.0.74 kernel sources (updated touchscreen driver)
    - Increased GPU dedicated memory to 4MB
    - Updated su binary in autoroot.

    v2.8 changed:
    - added new cpufreq driver at last (with CPU frequency fixup by DooMLoRD), battery drain is lower now. I left version 2.7 too for those who want higher overclock or have some problems with 2.8.

    v2.9 changed:
    - fixed governors to match new frequency table. Test please.

    v3.0 changed:
    - updated zram driver.
    - staging:lowmemkiller add Fugeswap.
    - ICS and GB versions.

    v3.1 changed:
    - [ICS] Updated recovery to DooMLoRD's ICS version and as a result fixed usb mounting issues in recovery. The recovery will say that it's for arc, but don't worry, it woks fine on our phones.
    - [GB] No release, everything works fine there :)

    v3.2 changed:
    - [ICS] Upadated recovery again, fixed booting issues. It's recovery by kamarush now :), so thanks a lot to him.
    - [GB] No release.

    Everything else is similar to stock kernel for now.

    Requirements:
    • For 2.3.4 version: 4.0.2.A.0.42/58/61/62/74 rom.
    • For 4.0.4 version: 4.1.B.0.431 rom.
    • Unlocked bootloader.

    Installing:
    If you're using windows, here's the simpliest way to install kernels:
    1. Install drivers.
    2. Download and extract these files to some folder.
    3. Place boot.img to the same folder.
    4. Execute flash.cmd.
    5. Turn off your phone, hold volume up button and connect it to pc.
    6. When everything is ready close cmd window and turn on the phone.
    7. If something is wrong try "advanced/wipe dalvik cache" in recovery.

    Useful scripts:
    Here are some useful scripts which work with this kernel. Just download, extract and copy them into "/etc/init.d" folder:
    1. This kernel doesn't have zram enabled by default. Use this to enable 64mb zram swap:
      https://yadi.sk/d/-0kzYZOs3KETHm
    2. Our phones have a lot of free space in "/cache" partition, so you can use script by inteks to create a 64mb swap there. It is much faster than using SD card:
      https://yadi.sk/d/Nhkogctl3KETJW
    3. The same with "/system". Here's a bit modified version of previous script, the only change is that it uses another partition:
      https://yadi.sk/d/C7gVW-oH3KETK8

    Important information:

    Entering recovery:
    While booting, wait until blue led lights up and press volume down button to enter recovery.

    Building kernel:
    If you're a developer, feel free to download kernel sources from GutHub and change whatever you like:
    1. Install some Linux distribution (Tested on Linux Mint Debian and Ubuntu 10.04).
    2. Download everything using git or by clicking "Download as tar.gz" on github.
    3. Place files in some folder (path mustn't contain spaces).
    4. Make your changes.
    5. Execute build-all.sh to build kernel for all devices or use build-[model].sh for one device.

    Download:

    Android 4.0.4 version

    Android 2.3.4 version

    Another update. Tweaked governors a bit. Tried to disable powersave and perfomance governors, but for some reason only the first one disappeared :) Also making preparations for ics version.

    An update. I haven't tested it much on ICS, but it seems to be working fine.

    Here are stock modules, flash via recovery:

    Is this kernel compatible with stock Android 4.0.4 that has just been launched?

    No, a new version will be available soon.
