Enable zcache/cleancache (new feature) + zram

I believe that zcache could benefit the Galaxy phones by 1) allowing more ram for apps and 2) by allowing more FS objects to stay in cache by means of LZO compression. ext4 supports zcache/cleancache. I.e if "cached" is 15MB, then actual memory usage would probably be 4-8 MB. By reverse, you could fit 30-40MB in 15MB cache.

Zcache should be beneficial for both low-end and high-end systems. http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/zcacheIOzone

You need to enable these two in the kernel. They do not work as modules.

CONFIG_ZCACHE=y

CONFIG_CLEANCACHE=y

The second option I'd like to see is zram. This can be used as any normal block device, or even as swap. It uses LZO compression, which is very fast. For example, using as Swap, you would typically see 25-35% compression rate. 150MB swap would use maybe 40MB ram.

You can use zram as module (gives possibility to choose size etc with modprobe).

CONFIG_ZRAM=m

Hey Team, why dont you try this patch? Maybe it improve graphic acceleration for ICS ... thats the website..

I didn' t try it.. anyone could test it?

If you try it, do at your own risk..

zcache/cleancache/zram

Yes, that is the idea. LZO1x is fast. The benefit of zcache is greatly reduced I/O, which in itself saves time. I/O is normally quite a blocking operation, especially if there are writes involved.

On The Galacy Spica (I5700), zram seems clearly beneficial and allows for much smoother interactiveness during multitasking.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SMillerNL:
It's a clean CM9 Rom. This means, no additions. So probabbly it's a no.

FM Radio not working

Hi! Firstly, I must say that this ROM is great. I had few problems while installing, because when I had CWM 4, then this ROM didn't boot in, so I tried different ROMs till today when I upgraded CWM to version 5. And it is great.

Camera is already recorded as bug, but I can't make FM Radio to work. I install Spirit FM, but when my wifi is off, it doesn't start at all and when wifi is on it starts, but doesn't have any settings where to change frequency.

So it would be nice to help me with this.

Best regards,

Daniels
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] syed.sayeed96:
yaaayyy... al d best... if this works i bet i could squeese out some outta my poket money for donations.. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Gatak:
Probably =( However, this is kernel stuff, nothing needs to changed in CM/android for it.

If nothing else, zram can/should me enabled as kernel module.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] maxadamo:
Not really the best but it works.

Anyway, Spirit FM is well known to damage earphones and speakers on some devices (it's written almost everywhere).

The suggested configuration seems to lead straight to this direction: when audio starts playing there is an extra-loud noise that in my opinion will brake the earphones (and even my tympanum).

Furthermore, Spirit FM is also known to damage wallets, as it costs 8 euro.

IMHO it should be better to write a disclaimer, where you state the potential issue... I wouldn't listen to people with expensive earphone broken by a software that you suggested to use.... my Sennheiser costed to me 80 euro.

my two cents.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SMillerNL:
The loud noises have been fixed. So no more broken eardrums.

And the lite version will suffice for most users.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Gatak:
Cool Maclaw! :)

I know zRam was in the settings a while, however it never worked. Actually looking, I do find zram.ko, but it wont load because of "Invalid module format".

Doing insmod zram.ko I get "init_module 'zram.ko' failed (Exec format error)"

Just to point out that you can't make zcache as module as it doesn't work..

I am sorry that you feel that XDA is your own personal tech support site. Maybe you should read the XDA Mantra. I will attempt to nip this in the bud right now.

Get this and get it clearly. Devs do this for free. You donate out of the goodness of your heart but it in NO way gives you the "purchasing power" to demand anything from a developer. This entitlement attitude you have is despicable. Your attitude has helped to contribute to the state of our site.

XDA-Developers exists for the developers and you come here and contribute of your own free will - and you donate of your own free will. Period. You don't like it - don't donate and don't download. You don't like that - go somewhere else.

Let's break this down a little bit here - XDA is....

XDA is a developers site

XDA is a free forum you are ALLOWED to use. We could make it invite only

XDA is and always will be about the developers. And before you say without the users there would be no XDA, Bull****, who do you think used the stuff before normal people even knew what a smartphone was......wait for it.........other developers. People that could give good feedback with relavent info. Not just "dahhh this is broken, please fix".

XDA is not....

XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.

XDA is not the cool place for idiots to hang out.

XDA is not your friends house

XDA is not a democracy

XDA is not a place to make Money.

That is all. Whomever decides to continue this line of reasoning and try and complain about a developer not acceding to your demands will earn themselves a nice short vacation from XDA.

For further development of the rom, we can add some of the Galaxy S3 Attractions which would really improve the UI. If the messaging app can be modded to add direct call, so that when the user puts the phone near his ear the proximity sensor reacts and calls the person who was being texted.

2. The gallery could be modded so as to allow the "people" view mode and feature tagging.

First, these aren't just software depend, they require enormous power from the processor to continuously use all the sensor. The Ace will crash like hell.

Second, the battery would become a joke.

Third, if it were that simple to replicate everything from the S3 that easily then the S3 wouldn't have been special, it could have been a software update.

only one bug in the bug-track??

in the history of the opensource, the best coding, as far as I remember, has been done in emacs and in the old xmms player. Somebody says xmms has the better code from all times.

But these software have bugs, and surely they don't have only one

:o

This is the list of bugs in Emacs, from 1st of May 2012, until 4th of May:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-bug-tracker/2012-05/index.html

come on guys... the bug-track for Galaxy ICS has only one bug open by the dev himself.... cannot close all bugs always saying "thirdy part issue", "not an issue", "not important", "not a bug", "nevermind", "not my fault", "it's your fault", "I don't care", "use another rom".....

p.s.: I remark that we are talking about a beta release. I am sorry but it makes no sense to have a beta with only one bug. Even stable releases have much more bugs ... I agree that many times bugs are incomplete and they lack important information, whereas they should have logs and so far and so on, but something must be really wrong on that bug-track ...

Let's post just one example:

https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android/issues/33

You suggest a workaround and than you close the bug.

I am sorry to say that this is a bug and you should leave it open. Surely it's not a feature or enanchement request: tether not working = bug (as I said thousand times, I have another CM9 device, where, native tether works. In other words, it's possible to get tether working with CM9)

Where is the problem if you leave a bug - which is a real bug - open? We all know that devs arefocused on getting camera working, but we can't ignore other bugs.

Tether was just an example.

p.s.: guys, I am not coming from another world. A long time ago, I worked as a test engineer at sun microsystems... from one side I understand your feeling, as those bugs are reported in a bad and crap manner (none of them has logs!), but for sure I can say that the majoriy of these reports that have been filed are are REAL BUGS.
