Aha! Ok then you need to install busybox for your room. Download Stericson busybox installer app on the market and install to /system/xbin
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
I don't know if this will install all the necessary applets. You really should install a decent custom rom which has busybox baked in dude
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kristin3l:
It worked ! Thanks a lot!

Cheers !
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
OP updated to help others who don't have busybox yet. Thanks man

Whenever i check the info, there are no zram slots being used, running kt kernel with ge 4.3 rom. and im using v6 supercharger to lower minfrees so my lowmemorykiller doesnt kill my apps for better multitasking
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] manny05:
Lmao

I have the same problem. I press the i and 0 is being used...

I even install busy box via the market like someone said to do a couple of post above this one.. Still no luck..

Edit: I'm running foxhound with kt last kernel.. But this is an at&t Galaxy S4. Not sure if that would make a difference?

Here's a screenshot.

Installed busybox from the Google play store, and it works now. thanks BRO!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
It should actually be working looking at that screen shot mate. It will only use the swap if it needs to. ON GE 4.3 The memory footprint is lower so look again in a little while after opening heaps of stuff

Edit: V6 supercharger messes with heaps of stuff and could be blocking your swaps being used since the LMK is do much more aggressive it will be killing stuff instead of using swap.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
Hey BRO great app, but why won't it let me set it higher then 800? It never sticks. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
If you don't set a size and set on boot is on then it defaults to 800.

Try remove boot settings. Then If you set your chosen size tap set after choosing your size from the app and set Boot again it SHOULD keep your chosen size
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
I'm sorry bro I can't figure it out can you tell me more detailed way of doing it because maybe I'm doing it wrong it keeps going back to 800

Another thing that I have noticed is that, it was always reads pending after I have set the values

This is a revolution. My phone has never been faster than this. It made all the difference with omega + kt kernel

Even with undervolting it's high performance, low heat =battery saving.

I don't full understand the magic but I do feel the effects in every single app even in swift key. Everything is more responsive and the phone operates effortlessly

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] manny05:
I just checked it again and 0 kb are being used. I haven't turned off the zram or rebooted my phone all day. And my phone doesn't feel any different. It's definitely not working. Also I'm running foxhound with kt kernel. (and my Galaxy s4 is from at&t if that makes a difference)

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
I would guess that its to do with supercharger mate. I'm familiar with it and what it does to the LMK is extensive and any number of things could block swap being used.

Use terminal emulator and paste this in:

swapoff /dev/block/zram1;

swapoff /dev/block/zram2;

swapoff /dev/block/zram3;

swapoff /dev/block/zram0;

Then this:

echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset;

echo 419430400 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize;

mkswap /dev/block/zram0;

Then this:

swapon /dev/block/zram0;

This will run a single swap using default busybox of 400MB

Now see if the swap is used. If not then we will know that it's not related to Turbo ZRAM
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Im baffled too. So just recap how the app works:

You choose your value on the slider.

Then tap set now. The pending just means ready to be tapped, sorry if it's confusing I'll change that

Then you should have your chosen size set.

Now if you tap set on boot your current size and swappiness you just set will be set to run on boot.

If you don't tap set now before you tap set on boot then your chosen size WONT be registered and it will set 800MB which I chose in case of this situation. If you have set your chosen size before setting boot then it SHOULD set your chosen size on boot.

If this still isn't working try wiping app data and deleting the folder on your internal SD

/Andriod/data/turbozram/

And make super SU re grant permissions
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] evilive27:
Same ROM and same exact situation. Doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Please elaborate?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
For those using TW kernels who want standard zram 400MB script set and don't want to use my Turbo ZRAM app or it didn't work... I made a CWM zip which will set an init.d script to run.

You must have /system/etc/init.d folder to work

DOWNLOAD: http://db.tt/8vssawIO
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] evilive27:
That file still gives me 0 swap space. Something must wrong on my phone. Swap only works with faux kernel. But your turbo swap app doesn't work with faux kernel. The app never sets any swap space and pressing info just says loading. Never changes and typing free in terminal shows 0. Not sure why it doesn't work on my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
You need busybox it sounds like man. Sterricson installer from the app store
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] evilive27:
I have busybox and working init.d folder too. Not sure what's going on. Swap only seems to work with faux kernel. Doesn't work with any other kernel for me. Still trying to figure out why.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] osmosizzz:
Thanks a lot dude! Noticed scrolling to be smoother, transitions, and lower ram consumption
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] muoino:
I give up :( now using the default values of the app.

KT Kernel, installed busybox (Sterricson installer), did everything I can but app always reset to 800MB at boot, cannot set higher. But with 800MB seems smooth enough for me. What is the benefit if we set zram size to a higher value? Should we set it to maximum value (1536)?

Anyway thanks for your great app.

I get no error messages though, and on boot it tells me the ZRAM has been set.

What to do?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
I will give this one a shot tonight, in hopes that it will work because the other versions did not work for me, the values I sat never stuck it always fell back to 800, and all my drive caches read zeros.

I had that same problem, but after I installed busy box from the android place store it's fixed that issue, it is you're having now is mike catch size's all read 0 and I cannot get the values to stick , I hope this new version fixes that problem I will download it and try it out tonight

Just installed 1.1d. Wiped app data and set a zram value but unfortunately still reset to 800mb after reboot :banghead:

Nuts!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] cdzo72:
I have to second that....same happening to me
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pitastrudl:
i lower my lmk so it doesnt kill stuff. does the zram force the apps from int. memory to zram or does it go to zram at a certain amount of apps are in int. ram?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Ok so something is messed up with your busybox because the app should simply write your size to a file when you tap the floppy disk button to save.

Android/data/turbozram/bootsz

Then on boot it will read the value of this file to a variable and run a command. If it doesn't get a value then it will default to 800MB

So let's figure out whats up.

Do you have the file above? If so does it change is value to match your chosen set on boot size?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Try disabling notifications on your superuser app. It might not be getting root permissions in time for the boot task
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] cdzo72:
OK, this is what I did after seeing your post... I checked to make sure I had that file in /sccard/emulated/0/Android/turbozram/bootsz and yeah, it was there... opened it up and it said 800...

So then I went to the TurboZRam app and set it to 608, and supposedly it all went well... but then I went back to the file and it STILL said 800.... so I scratched my head... went back to the app it it said 800 when I started it up... OK, so I set it back to 608, hit apply and apply at boot and rebooted...

So, like it's been doing... after boot I get the notification in the status bar saying it's been set to 800... so I went back the file on the SD and it sure enough says 800... aight, well if that's the file that gets read, I just decided to change it there with the Root Explorer text editor, I set it to 600 and saved it...

I then opened the ZRam app and sure enough, it then came up with a value of 600... I rebooted and all values were still at 600 after the boot...

So maybe the app is not writing to the file on the SD or something?

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Indeed this has nailed it! It is because of differences in how the Linux applet is called with different busybox setups. Should be an easy fix :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
Hey orange what's up dude, lol I know you must have a headache after trying to figure this out because everybody is complaining about it not working, including me.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Well that sucks! It happened to me a few times randomly while early testing. The screenshot shows they are active but somehow not working.

Try rebooting wipe app data that sort of stuff. Also reflash the kernel. It's likely a permissions issue

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
Still zeros bro. I wiped both data and dalvic caches, then reflashed the kernel, wiped both data and dalvic caches again, fixed permissions,, let the phone sit for 10 mins then reboot, used crazy data. But still 0's... Here's a screen shot of my rom info maybe it would help. I have a US T-Mobile SGH-M919 running 4.2.2 and I'm on wicked ROM, and "wicked UnWizzed GE" , which I've been using for a few weeks now.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Hmm well I'm wondering if the GE roms use so much less ram than the jizzer maybe it's just not needed lol! Maybe sident lmk settings. According to your screen shots its active and ready to swap :(
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
Maybe o'well I'll uninstall the app, btw it's a batter hog... Good luck BRO
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Batter hog he he it is a bit. You know I use tasker app factory to make this. Without ever using a computer!

But as far as I know nobody has tried this before. I'm working on a script but it's not working yet. So hopefully I'll have a lean init.d script with a bunch of sizes to choose from :) as an alternative

Just found this, looks pretty promising :) is it just for tw roms or can aosp & ge roms use it too?

Also, I'm on slimbean ROM that has zram built in and functioning, should I disable that first?

Edit... Oh, and are there any mods that it conflicts with like killjoy or cross breeder?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
It's for TW or GE/TW roms but you need a kernel with zram as a module. So far KT tw kernels have this feature.

No zram module in AOSP KT kernel variants as far as I know but this may change soon ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gboniel:
no swapdata

good day sir [MENTION=3145598]rlorange[/MENTION]

I've followed the steps you mentioned on OP; flashed the custom busybox first then install the app. However, after I set the values(e.g. 1248, 100%), exit the app and open it again, all values I set goes back to zero. When i restart the phone, i get the notification that the values i previously set are applied. But if I check the Android/data/turbozram i only have 3 files (boot, bootsz, zver).

I'm currently using Foxhound ROM v1.5 and KT-SGS4-JB4.2-TW-INTL-08.25.2013
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Hmmmm did you tap set now and then set on boot after? Check its working by taping the i Button
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gboniel:
I did sir, I even reflashed the kernel, busybox and reinstalled the app and fixed permissions. When i click the "i" button, it will only show "loading" i tried leaving it for an hour, it's didn't change.

update:

the first button where it says ZRAM shows ZRAM>> >off< <<1248MB
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Hmmm sounds like another rom busybox issue. Try smart installing busybox to /system/xbin using sterricsons free play store app
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
If you tap the >off< button does it change to on?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gboniel:
i reinstalled busy box using normal and smart install, still the same. it stays "off" when i tap the button.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CousinMikeyP:
I still wish that this app work correctly for me, I am going to do a restore to my old rum wicked v5, and report back because the only thing I can think of is it might see my rom for the reason being its not working correctly for me, so I am going to test it on wicked ROM
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
So taping the floppy disk button doesn't set the swap. Tapping the >off< button doesn't change it to on?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Try getting superuser to re grant permissions
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
You need to reboot after installing busybox too
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gboniel:
i think tapping the floppy disk button does set the swap, because when i check the bootsz file it contains 1248. however, based on your screenshot few pages back, i don't have the swapdata file. And yes, tapping >off< button doesn't change it to on.

could it be a ROM issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Yeah mate something very wrong. First time I've seen this issue. Try re granting su permissions? Also wipe app data
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
If you don't have the swapdata file then that's weird man. Try creating it yourself and see if it writes to it.

Also try typing:

Su

Cat /proc/swaps in terminal emulator to see if it's running
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gboniel:
it's working now! thanks a lot for the guidance.

I installed the ROM using ausdim v16, but since you recommend KT, i flashed KT and somehow lost the superSU app. I didn't notice it before because ROM was still rooted. downloading SuperSU from playstore fixed it. thanks a lot.. :D :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Aha!! Awesome... was going down the rabbit hole there. Glad it was something nice and trivial :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gboniel:
yes, indeed it is. whew.. glad i can now try this out. just a suggestion, how about having a list of "things to look out for" in OP. :D thanks a lot again...

I will enjoy this now.. :D

P.S. after i turned it on, don't have to reboot, swap is working immediately.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Yep sure you can switch it on or off and resize anytime you like :)

Yeah I will update the OP believe it or not I have created this entire app and the thread from my phone without ever touching a computer!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
You should notice much reduced lag in general
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lzk123:
Test 1.1e app. Autostart at boot works, size and swappiness is fixed too. However it takes quite a long time to start, roughly few mins. Is it suppose to be like that?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ragz:
This is the first performance mod I've used that leaves no doubt about if it's working , 0 lag and programs and games open way faster, Great work, the issue was getting the right busy box installed to get things working, I couldn't use the supplied version I used the smart version of busy box, then it worked perfect,Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Yes! Reason being it has to run once root permissions have been granted.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Thanks mate! Yeah the custom busybox is needed to set swap prioritues but the regular rom busybox is needed too and it seems many roms don't have a compatible one... I will attempt to make the app work with just the custom busybox so this issue can be v avoided
