Z-RAM, do you use it?

[ESPORTIVA]

Nope

 

[Rafiq07]

No Need

I havn't had any need to use it since the CM10 ROM is already so smooth. From reading through the posts i can see it is a bit of a battery drainer aswell so i definately won't be touching it now.

No I dont use ZRam

But its nice

 

[greenlion77]

I will not use it yet, thanks to this thread. May try it at a later date.

I don't use it at the moment. Primarily because there is no point if look at how much free RAM I have. It might become an issue if anybody wants to use their phone as a server.

Zram compresses memory in order to fit more. It had impact on performance and battery life. It's a necessity like it was already mentioned for users that do heavy multi taking.

on a PC, sure..
on a phone? i, and most others, believe it is useless.

I fully agree, on a PC it makes sense, but on a battery charged phone - saves memory, but spends power for this, and is hardly a plus.

 

[flixfeng]

i agree with the battery draining =(
can someone teach me how to disable the z-ram script ?

 

[ed3nsect]

No, heavy battery drain with it...

Well, just like using a swap file / partition I believe it's usually useless for almost every user. There are rare exceptions which rely on heavy multi tasking. Honestly I do multitasking but never found a reason to use it, it usually impacts overall performance in a noticeable way, so I agree

I did use it but have now taken it off due to battery

+1
ZRam disabled here

 

[slacker1979]

Disabled because I see no difference except with my battery.

Hi,

1) do stock Roms usually have them turned on?

2) how to disable it on cm10?

1)no

2)go to init.d folder and delete 90zram file

1)no

2)go to init.d folder and delete 90zram file

For QN 2:

Is it always written as "90zram" or something with"zram"? I ask this because the cm10 nightly version that I'm on stated that zram is on by default. However when I go to the directory that you have mentioned, there is no file "90zram" but only "00banner" and "90userinit"?

Don't you have settings > performance > memory blah blah > zRam in CM rom? It should be there, you tap on it and select what you want, disable or one of the other options...
