[APP][14/5/13]Zram & Swap Control [CACHE & PARTN] V2.5.5 Sammy 4.2.2 compatible!

This was developed for Siyah and Perseus but should work with any kernel that supports Zram/swap.

IMPORTANT: please make sure super su app re-grants permissions after install!!
---------------------------------------
Thanks to mattiadj (best multitasking fix) for the concept of cache file-based swap
And Gokhan Moral for his ongoing help as I learn shell scripting ;)

Re: [APP][28/3/13]Zram & Hard Swap Control V 2.1

Thx for the app! It is filling a gap in the market...

Just a few (constructive) comments:
- maybe explicitly state that some of the settings can take a long time to execute - there is no app activity to show that it is not hanging or freezing
- when I set swappiness to 100%, it showed as 10% after a reboot
- the second slider "dot" is not always centred on the slider line and the larger blue circle is not always surrounding it (like is the case for the top slider)
- the close button in the RH bottom of the app is not very responsive at times (I guess when the app is busy - but that is not indicated anywhere)

I'll post more as I remember... :rolleyes:

Re: [APP][28/3/13]Zram & Hard Swap Control V 2.1

I fixed the sappiness issue in V2.1

When the operation is in progress a WAIT message should appear indicating it's still doing it's thing :)

Yes I'll write one...

Basically use mini partition tool in windows.

Make your main partition smaller using resize leaving the desired space free for a swap partition at the END of the card.

Now make a Linux swap partition using this free space and set as PRIMARY.

My app will detect this partition ;)

What? That's weird. Um try closing the app from application manager and open again

Edit: also disable notifications in super su app as tasker made apps will continually notify for su shell permissions granted

This app. Free in play store. It should look like this until zram is used.

Re: [APP][29/3/13]Zram & Hard Swap Control V 2.2

I assume zram interface with be the same for any kernel that supports it. Testers please report even across devices

Re: [APP][29/3/13]Zram & Hard Swap Control V 2.2

You should think about publishing this in the play store as there is nothing else like it. :) I would buy it and I'm sure others would too. Not much comes up when you search zram.

Are you certain your kernel supports zram? If not it probably won't work.

    Next version is a biggy!!

    Now you can choose to have your NAND residing swap files on the SD card instead of cache. Better for dual boot and safety

    ALSO!... external SD swap without using a swap partition!

    Is possible to set priority with any busybox version? If yes how? I'm making my best multitasking fix with cache file swap but I want to learn more about priority.

    Thanks

    No that's what I was scratching my head about when I looked into it. The default script command calls the kernel busybox which seem to all be a version which doesn't support priority so I used sterricon budybox my app puts in a folder.

    You might can easily do this with a CMW zip then call the busybox with your script when setting your swap commands.

    Remember you must swapoff zram as well if the kernel starts it on boot then set it back on with the same priority as cache swap priority as well otherwise it won't run till cache is full.

    #!/system/bin/sh

    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox mkswap /cache/swapfile.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox mkswap /cache/swapfile2.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox mkswap /cache/swapfile3.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox mkswap /cache/swapfile4.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox swapon -p 2 /cache/swapfile.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox swapon -p 2 /cache/swapfile2.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox swapon -p 2 /cache/swapfile3.swp;
    /system/bbsiyahmods/busybox swapon -p 2 /cache/swapfile4.swp
    echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
    fi

    Edit: default swaps are set -1, -2 etc in the order they are activated so zram will be a lower priority if you use priority with your cache swap but let the kernel set zram.

    Use "cat /proc/swaps" to see details
