How to disable the zram that default in kernel?

[ethan92]

Recently i has flashed a kernel that has zram in default, 60MB.
I has deleted the file in dev/block but after reboot it appear again

Can somebody help me?

Is it no choice then to flash another kernel? Well, any recommendation?

Using an app like Root Explorer or Solid Explorer or any other file manager with root access, go to /etc/init.d and delete 00zram.

No such script in init.d folder.

I guess because of the kernel is integrated with zram, mean that when successfully flash it, it automatically give you 60MB of zram volume, so no such script exist in the folder.

Or maybe in another folder where i don't know?

For anyone still looking

Open a shell on your device either through a Terminal or ADB (recommended), and create a simple script in /etc/init.d with this code:

for f in /dev/block/zram*; do
    swapoff $f
done

A simple way to create the script from the terminal:

[email protected]:/ # cat > /etc/init.d/99zram-off <<END
for f in /dev/block/zram*; do
    swapoff $f
done
END

You should get back to the shell prompt.

Then give it execute permissions:

[email protected]:/ # chmod +x /etc/init.d/99zram-off

Reboot and check:
