regardless, zram does cause battery drain. It has been around for a while and has always caused a little extra battery drain. But does it help? sure a little bit. But not much since our phone doesnt do 100 percent zram. and zram does make applications run a little bit slower. all types of zram and external ram does cause apps to take longer but it lets you run more applications and can make sense run a little bit better.

search for dataswap. That helps a lot as well!

I dont believe he will as this is more of a full sense version for other phones, not necessarily ours. its for choosing which apps you use. If you want the de-sense thing you will have to use what I showed you. Which is like heaven to me because I used to delete things manually. lol

Hope this is helpful for you both as this is just to help you both understand a little bit more. I am not trying to put a damper on things...

OK everyone. Compare this to the virtuous full sense 4 ROM and understand what it is that you are dealing with. It is going to be slow and not a daily driver. But it is incredible for sense 4

Hello,

to disable zram swap you need to chance some lines in "init.qcom.post_boot.sh"

You will find the file in "/system/etc".

Simply change

# Enable ZRAM compressed memory (kernel must support ZRAM feature!)
if [ -e /sys/block/zram0/disksize ] ; then
$LOG -p i "Enabling compressed RAM functionality (ZRAM)"
echo $((120*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0
busybox swapon /dev/block/zram0
fi

to

# Enable ZRAM compressed memory (kernel must support ZRAM feature!)
#if [ -e /sys/block/zram0/disksize ] ; then
#	$LOG -p i "Enabling compressed RAM functionality (ZRAM)"
#	echo $((120*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
#	busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0
#	busybox swapon /dev/block/zram0
#fi

and reboot your phone.

After the reboot you can enable your sd-swap.

Edit the file manually or use the attached one.

Hey! Are u going to port jelly jean for our DZ's?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
Thanks for the info!! Could you please tell me that from where this 122mb space is coming to be used as zram?? Either it is from system partition or data or what??

This is just to add to my knowledge. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Runner85sx:
So zram is (Virtual Swap Compressed in RAM).

It is a compressed swap partition inside the RAM and will cause a little more CPU load because it needs to be compressed and decompressed nearly on the fly.

I know these type of swap from gentoo linux.

Without ZRAM: +CPU Performance | +Battery | -RAM

With ZRAM: -CPU Performance | -Battery | +RAM

The "z" inside "zram" comes from "GNU Gzip".

The compression format is well known.

Here you will find more information about gzip (GNU Gzip):

Team Venom, thanks for the nice ROM and for porting it to our dz.

For me almost everything is working fine.

Sense 4.1 is running very smooth here.

I noticed only one issue.

For me the PlayStore is downloading new apps very slow. (wireless lan) enabled.

I downloaded "Temple Run" from PlayStore. It took over 7 minutes.

My connection here is Cable VDSL 32k.

I downloaded this app much faster with Gen.Y VisionX R3. It took only maybe 36 seconds.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Timursonchik:
ok, where this setting in tweaker is? What means "minifree"? ))

Are you planning make this ROM more fit for our device? For example - make the screen resolution so that widgets no cutting? If yes, - when?)

Sorry, but when you have been doing this ROM, you didn't know about this? ))))
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] poondog:
Min free tweaker is in venom tweaks, under either misc or advanced. Changing the value will change the minimum amount of free ram the device makes. The higher the value, the more free ram it makes meaning it will kill more apps to get this free ram. Lower value means less free ram but more multitasking. On other devices with more ram, the stock values are fine.

The ROM is fine in terms of Rosie on other devices, only minor problems which are being addressed iirc

It has been in private beta for a month and a half for incredible s and dinc2 and has been released here too :) because team venom are awesome

This rom is wayyyy to slow to use, Phone rings after 10 seconds (while the other side already has heard two tones).

I cant even get supercharger to run because of the device is absolutely not responing.

It's good to see that it's possible to run sense 4.1 full, but it's absolutely not usable for daily use. Never the less, thanks for all the effort it's good to see that people are still developing for this device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ineedone:
3 steps to get this rom running smooth:

1)flash it, and flash RomCleaner (follow the steps in the RomCleaner thread mentioned in earlier posts)

2) disable zram, enable swap (also mentioned in earlier posts)

3) get it supercharged!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Netblade.nl:
Ok I'm gonna try that when I'm home because I really like all the features on this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lms24:
I'm quite surprised that so many people complain about the speed of the rom. I'm still at my ported version (which is not the released version) that I sent to nitsuj for the release, and I think the Rom is very smooth. It runs WAY smoother than Virtuous Infinity or other full sense 4/4.1 Roms.

@ nitsuj17: did you change very much after I sent you my *.zip?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nitsuj17:
nope, just the tweaks apk to remove the non functional cpu settings, and some naming stuff in aroma

nothing else iirc

but even on dhd and inc2 we get random complaints about lag/performance at times (although in the smaller minority of reports)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lms24:
Alright, I was just wondering...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
I'm surprised about this as well. It seems many people feel flashing your rom will magicaly change their hardware for the better. This is amazingly smooth and well put together for a rom with all the features of full sense 4 on the vision.

Yes it is not as smooth as cm7 for example but that's apples to oranges. Complaints should be taken with a grain of salt for these people may not realize what to expect. I'm sure everyone here would appricate if people could just post true bugs rather than complaints that have no merrit when taken in context.

If you want the features of full ics sense 4 then this rom is for you. If you need the snapiest phone ever then upgrade you hardware or flash within restraits of your phone.

Great job guys!

its best rom i have ever seen!! tweaks too. but i have a problem i am using it without zram with swap part. but now when i return the home always say loading and waiting for a minute. whitaout this bother its awesome and very smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Timursonchik:
How can i check, where's my swap? In memory or in SD? I have swap-partition in SD, it worked in previous ROM. Now i wrote "free" in adb, and saw that swap is enabled. Does it mean that swap on sd or not?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Runner85sx:
sh-3.2$ cat /proc/swaps

Filename Type Size Used Priority

/dev/block/vold/179:67 partition 263164 125012 -1

sh-3.2$

If you have something like this your sd swap is enabled. Otherwise your RAM is used as zram.

You may Check this with a Terminal emulator or with adb.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sorgo:
The experiences about performance are also valuable. It's a big difference if it's smooth or you must wait for a minute to see the last dialed numbers list or the second party hanging the phone before you see the answer/cancel screen or even hear the ringtone. It just makes the phone unfortunately unusable. So the performance is an issue. I agree that software can do nothing with hardware performance, but I am thankful for the optimization tips and tricks people post.

I am now waiting for a class 10 sdcard, then I will try to make it as smooth as possible (the last change before buying a new phone :)

I agree about the great job guys did!

Hey Guys!

If you want to thank the guy who started this all J4n87.

Please go to the following thread.

you don't have to write your own post, thanking any of the posts mentioning J4N87 is also good!

I know Jan does not live in the US so he will not be able to get the device,

Stil I think he deserves the recognition!

Also, some of you might no know this, but J4n87 otherwise known as Jan is the one who started the PKMN rom, and team, which later got rebranded to the Venom team, with their great Viper roms!

- Read my post in the mentioned thread for all the info ;)

My post to thank them is on the first page.

Also: I don't live in the US either, so I won't be able to receive the device either ;)

I don't need it and I don't really care about it..

P.S. Maybe Jan will come back with some more awesomness when he sees the great support ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
ro.product.model

Well, you should be able to change it simply by editing build.prop, although I would look for "ro.product.model"; This is what denotes the model no. If it already says "S710e", you're all good :) btw I'm not sure what "ro.product.board" is... doen't sound like something alright to edit.

Except root file managers.....music,gallary and my pop-up player can't read sd content....I can't say wether its hw or sw based cos I tried an 8gig sdcard and the phone will not even show it( supprisingly it works in my s2 like magic) is there anything I can do cos am a multimedie freak and I can't do without them for days:confused: this has never happened on any rom...just this one

After one day of use i gotta say: still smooth except of some short lags and some fc on htc sense (so far 2) and a quite oversensitive auto-brightnes, now changed it to a fixed brightness

But i gotta admit it has an awesome weather-graphic interface love that one xD and the smilies in the sms app are also quite cute^^

So far still the best senseROM, although it is still behind CM when it comes to the speed and multitasking-smoothness, yet very far ahead when it comes to style

Ther is just one thing: could it be that it is a quite a battery drain? :/

Is it possible to disable the auto rotate just for the "homescreen" and not for every app?

For example when i write a sms i can rotate it by just puting the device on the side, but if i am on the homescreen and it is on the side it wont go to landscape view, only when i pull out the hw keyboard

This worked on CM and i kinda miss it, because on the homescreen with the weather-clock widget it kinda takes a long time to go properly into landscape
