A check with the 'free' command in terminal emulator returned what omniwolf posted above, since that wasn't 0 it meant ZRAM was enabled, also Andrei stated in the changelog that its on by default.

Oddly enough, we all seem to lack the Zram settings in stweaks. I assume this wasn't left out on purpose but it's rather a porting issue/bug?

Also, ZRAM/Swapping shouldn't be enabled by default for the i9305 to begin with, it's not only useless but detrimental to our 2GB devices. Since Andrei states this kernel is a 1:1 port of the original with no adaptations, I see why it is enabled.

Anyways, user lrorange has made a tool called swap ctrl, it can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2210255

you can access all relevant settings with it, including the option to disable swapping alltogether. You can even set it to apply the settings to the init.d script. It did this and terminal emulator shows 0 now, so this is working.

Also, someone suggested the following in the i9300 perseus thread:

I can't find those entries in my file however, but I suppose it's because I already disabled zram with abov ementioned tool.

Maybe someone want to tell Andrei about the lack of zram settings we have ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
There's no zRAM settings in STweaks because Andrei has only compiled version 34.2 for this phone, and the STweaks zRAM settings were introduced in 34.3.

Adding the entries to the default.profile file will do nothing, as 34.2 doesn't know how to interpret them.

Could you post the init.d file that hte swap ctrl app creates? I'm curious as to what I've done wrong. Thanks :)

Andrei certainly already knows about this, I think he only created the STweaks settings for the i9300 because everyone was going ape **** about zRAM lag. Anyway, if you read one of his posts, it says

So from that I assume that the zRAM should really not affect the system at all until you have used up enough ram to require it. So for the i9305 with 2GB of RAM, even with zRAM enabled it won't affect you until you start heavily multitasking (and even then, it should have a positive effect). but I suppose Andrei will correct me on this ;)

also whoops looks like my attachment didn't work (not that it matters, as i don't think it's correct anyway - I can't seem to get it working), I have attached it here for reference

Re: [Kernel][26/03] Perseus

omniwolf is correct. In fact I doubt any of you with 2GB will have even noticed that ZRam is enabled if I wouldn't have said so. So please just wait until the next update as it's pretty irrelevant for you.

I didn't realize it's actually a different build :silly: Yeah I'm not saying it's affecting me or it makes me grow hair on my back, but I tend to go ocd with such things. If I don't need it, might as well disable it.

Anyways, here's what's inside the two files swap ctrl creates in init.d:

Have you more than one app to regulate the cpu speed? Pandoriam ROM for example has No-frills integrated.

Please try disable/delete SetCPU and use STweaks, but set to default first (in last Tab).

Have to say the LTE version of this phone is considerably slower than my old S3, although apps remain open more consistently (most likely due to RAM)...

But I don't really care that much about that...

I'm just going to drop this for now and deal with the phone being subpar even to itself, and replace it with something powerful from the off (Xiaomi MI-3 sounds exciting).

[Request] Stweaks deafult profile in flashable zip

Hi there. Yesterday I accidentally undervolted too much my I9305 CPU in Stweaks (using Perseus kernel alpha35), and now I am stuck in Samsung bootlogo. Unfortunately, I didn't do a nandroid backup in my CWM6 recovery before my huge mistake, and the last thing I want to do is to loose my app's data...

So I am here to gently request if someone could give me a flashable zip to restore my Stweaks profile to default (or at least my CPU configurations) in order to boot successfully my I9305 without loosing any data.

If someone could do this, I would owe him a HUGE thanks forever.

(I already tried doing a backup after the undervolt and then do a factory reset and install my rom again, and then use Nandroid Manager to get back my apps data from the late backup I did. But it didn't work, and I couldn't get back the rom configuration too :()

PS: I don't know if this helps, but afaik the Stweaks profiles are saved in System/Data/.Perseus folder

I checked the 9305T sources and they are indeed different than the 9305 ones, but not in the way you'd think. I'm already compiling this kernel right now with a merge of 9300 and N7100 sources and didn't touch the 9305 ones. Anyway the defconfig doesn't differ between the two, so there is no difference in the end product. So I can confirm it works. I still find it stupid to proclaim it works and flash it on a device without prior checking of the code, in this case it worked, in 95% of other cases it doesn't.

The only difference is probably the "t" version doesn't have all the lte frequencies but only the one Telstra uses OR if not then I know Telstra got rid off the 2100mhz 3g frequency maybe it's just missing this.

5400 points; SS v1.1 Rom with this kernel not Overclocked

There is no way you will get one for $380 Unlocked without contract

Thats strange I get a constant 7000-7200 score on when i am over clocked @ 1704mhz and around 6000-6200 Normal

But I am on XXALI5 Base - De-bloated/Unbranded , Deodexed/Zipaligned. Not sure if that makes a difference

And since you got 200 more stock then with the custom rom I am thinking if u had the custom Rom debloated/ zipaligned/deodexed with Perseus kernel and OC 1.7ghz you will get closer to 7000 according to the scores you wrote. ;)

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] !crazy:
Regarding antutu benchmarks, I think one of the reason for a little weaker score is that Multicore power saving is set to 2 per default, what is the most aggressive option.

With that the kernel will try to group maximum of tasks/processes on the minimum number of cores, in order to save some power.

Besides all kernels mentioned here have different settings and even different versions of Pegasus governor etc... So multicore power saving is probably not the only reason.

Update:

Have just checked, yes I got better score with multicore power saving disabled. Not so good overall score as with Boeffla kernel (because of the CPU scores.) but GPU scored better with Perseus.

Seriously, failure is yours. Your chip cannot handle 1.8 with that setting at least. Maybe it could if you increase voltage. But 1.8 is to much I think. Even if it can handle that frequency it doesn't mean that it is going to be faster. Because of overheating it will probably be slower.

Suggestion to change the name of STweaks

Hi Andrei, a small suggestion - to rename STweaks app. There is an update available from Play store for Gokhan's STweaks. I'm afraid updating it would overwrite your app and render it useless. This way I could not use "Update All" button in Play store. Even if there are 10 apps for update, we need to click Update for each one except STweaks. If you rename your app to something else (say PTweaks), this issue will be resolved. Besides there are tons of functionality in your app, much more than the original app and it deserves an individual identity :) Could you please consider this in your next release ? Thanks.

Dude it is the exactly same app. When you go to the about tab in STweaks it will say Gokhan Moral, because he made the app. All functionality you see in the app comes from the kernel, not STweaks. STweaks is only a means of displaying/giving access to all that stuff that is provided in the kernel, it doesn't add any functionality whatsoever.
