Omega certainly has BetterMultitaskingFix or something similar that MUST be disabled in order to have acceptable multitasking.

Once I disabled that I now get very good results with 400MB zram at 90% (and a pretty clean system, a lot of the bloatware is frozen with Titanium Backup).

I am now on 1.5a and so far it looks good - but only tomorrow I will have the extensive tests on Viber :p

Alright, didn't know about that, thanks for the info. Will see how it goes.

Wanam lite has it as well?

How to disable it? I didn't see any related script in init.d...

But I don't think it's about multitasking.

1.5.1 public test version

So guys, here's a public 1.5.1 test version with some great performance increase but with no OC for the moment.

The goal of this version is to test googy-max kernel with only basic tweaks and features which do not affect global performance. So the changes concern cpufreq, pegasusq, schedulers, clock-exynos drivers, some load calculation functions, smp, timer, ... even the compiler is changed.

My actual tests show huge difference in performance and nearly non-existent lags or microlags

Please test and give feedback as this may be a turn in googy-max kernel "philosophy" ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] romskii:
A good decision Anas :) 1.5.1 works great so far
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tracemonkey:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rafaelpernil:

Epic update. This is going to shake the I9300 forum :P

On another note, doesn't using zram reduce the available space for Android to use RAM?

Also, would you suggest the use of apps like "One Power Guard", "Deep Sleep Battery Saver" or "AutoKiller Memory Optimizer"?

Hello,

I had install the googy max kernel, yesterday...

Before install it, i used siyah kernel... And set some undervolt with stweaks...

Can anyone post your configs here to get a better time of battery?

I take today less than 3hr of screen..

With siyah, i get 4hrs normally...

I want your help.!

Thanks a lot.

CPU undervolting is a setting you have to try yourselfs, every CPU acts different in that matter.

So far seems pretty smooth, although its hard to make a real comparison with previous versions as I usually run heavily over-clocked. With zzmoove I see only 3 cores ever active when checking with CPU usage app, however when running stress test I can see all 4 cores being tested (and passing).

Update.. Running top from a terminal also shows all 4 cores running (using zzmoove)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gassity:
What values do you use for zram?

I'm running foxhound ROM 2.5, tried to Google it, but understood nothing)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qtwrk:
Correct me if I am wrong

From my personal understanding

Disk size is how many memory you use to zRam, swapness is compression ratio? Like 300 MB and 80% is like 300/0.8 = 375 MB of data in zRam state?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Not quite ;)

Disksize is the maximum amount of data that can be written into zRam (uncompressed).

Swappiness is the "willingness to swap", 100 meaning swap as much as possible, 0 try never to swap and the rest somewhere inbetween.

Compression ratio will always depend on the data being compressed, so it will always be variable, you cannot determine the compression ratio beforehand ;)

Also, zRam only allocates RAM as it grows, so an empty zRam takes (very close to) no RAM at all.

You can ignore zRam when looking at battery drain, impact is "zero", you could even argue to save juice because it avoids app restarts which are energy costly ... anyhow in either direction it's not measurable, so no use wasting time on it I think ;)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
I've been digging into swap (hardswap and zRam) for ... well ... now I can say years as it's been about 2 ... there is no way it can have a noticable impact on battery drain.

You need to look at the big picture :

- where you loose battery (microsopic consumption, but for the argument's sake) :

swapping in and out memory pages and compressing or decompressing them

- where you win battery (microsopic consumption again, but for the argument's sake, too) :

less apps stopps and restarts since more "memory is available as a whole", app stoping will write settings to SD card (expensive in energy) and terminate, on reload, will load the whole app from SD (expensive in energy) start the app which will load its settings from SD (expensive in energy)

So in essence, if using zRam you can manage to keep the apps you mostly use running instead of start/stopping those, you should even save battery.

But it's so tiny, really not worth spending time on this (I have spent way too much on this already) ;)

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tracemonkey:
I guess it's all down to how you use your phone, but I've never noticed any improvement from running with zram enabled and I'm curious to hear from those who do use it as to what you are doing and what benefit you experience.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
It's all about multitasking. I often use several apps and without zram, after a while, each app is kicked out of the memory when I'm not using them. It's frustrating.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
Thanks your post is really useful and also motivated me to try zRam as I was a bit confused ...

Also would like to know from your experience since you researched a lot on this, what is the recommended settings for the zram.

I mean I see people putting swappiness 60% and others at 90% .. Can you please explain this point. Because what I understood from the quoted post below, that it is better to use less percentage since it will not "force" it over the normal ram...Thank you again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well I use 600Mb zRam and 80% swappiness, as I really want the kernel to kick out pages that are not used for some time to make room for other apps.

So far that is running just fine, but that is on my kernel with SlimBean etc... and with my use, so you will always have to investigate a little.

If swappiness is too low, you won't be using that much of swap as there are mainly 2 things that push memory pages to swap :

1) memory pressure (low memory)

2) memory page last use timestamp

The Android LMK will keep track of memory pressure, so that won't motivate the kernel to swap out memory pages, hence swappiness needs to give the kernel a little push to use swap.

Also very important, we are talking about memory pages here (4Kbytes chuncks), not whole apps, do no app will ever be in swap, only unused bits of the apps you use are in fact pushed out to swap, while the parts of the apps that are active will remain in actual RAM.

Hope my explanation is not too confusing...

All OK so far

I have tested for the last days with 1.5.0a and that one was OK (no more reboots with viber). I have just moved to 1.5.1 public test and so far it seems OK. (1.5.0a was OK even at 1600 MHz, 1.5.1 on the default 1400).

I was generally using default settings except for zram (400mb @ 90%) and touchtowake (20s). Today I also had the time to update Omega - so now I am in 43.6 EMF1 (which so far is the latest one in the 4.1.2 branch).

The one other thing that IMHO must be done in this ROM before the sources for 4.2.2 become available - I believe there already is a patch for the wireless driver that enables ad-hoc mode, which in turn enable some very interesting apps like MANET and so on!
