Samsung RAM Plus slowing your phone down? Here's how to disable it

Free up performance and make your phone as fast as it should be

www.androidpolice.com

Anyways...I have mine disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] readymarc:
RAM Plus is there for a reason. I left mines on default 8gb and my device is 12gb. If its anything that may be causing drain, its probably a rouge app. some of yall need to stop blaming ram plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Yep. And RAM Plus is a ZRAM that is by default enabled on MANY OEMs including Pixel devices itself.

Even Arter97 is recommending the use of ZRAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fkofilee:
Ive tried to update to the latest july update and Mine is bootlooping with the magisk patched file.

Any idea if issue with Magisk etc? I am using the latest firmware edition running AWF7
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
There is no issue with Magisk (Delta).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Edit :

Apologies Electronic Punk

Just realized root talk not allowed here in this threa

@fkofilee​

Kindly check this
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fkofilee:
No Attached file on your post sir. However I can see that it is related to enabling Zygisk and Enforcing Denylist for me.

I can get around it by not enabling it. Its not my primary device and doesnt run banking stuff etc.

Thanks for confirming - Thats put my mind at rest.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Check again, XDA not allowing bigger file, now zipped and attached it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fkofilee:
Cheers for that . :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
They aren't telling much. The video you posted...The guy is also clearly mixing up SWAP with Zram.

I mean, here is the "proof"...and why most of these tech videos or websites have zero clue about the stuff they're talking about from time to time. lol

You can test this yourself too. There is an ADB command to check the blocks and see that Zram is the one being increased and not the SWAP that is being utilized as "virtual RAM" by being written to your UFS.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Did you wipe cache
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Lodix:
Ram Plus own description says it uses your phone storage to use as "virtual ram". Mmmmmmm... and I think Andreif once said it was something not useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Which is completely falsely described. It doesn't use the phone storage at all. You can check this by inspecting all the partitions/blocks made and you can clearly see that only increases the ZRAM size.

And the thing you're talking about is actually called SWAP. SWAP Is not enabled at all when you enable RAM Plus. lol

It's not the first time that OEMs claim stuff that are not working as "described".
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jovan1997:
So why it use my phone storage than? If it store unused compressed apps in ram why need storage?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Show me where is it using your phone storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mabmed:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Are you using Samsung browser for social media
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mabmed:
No,

Installed apps: Facebook, messenger, twitter, WhatsApp, instagram, threads
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Just got the update AWFD July update (S9180). I hope it will fix my battery issue since June update, because the last few days it became even worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Quantomius:
Did you wipe the cache partition in recovery mode? And optimize the apps there as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Same as me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
After the June update, I did wipe cache partition. Did it a second time few days ago because the battery couldn't reach 3h. But it didn't help for the battery. And no app using the battery for no reason.

What do you mean by optimizing the apps? After a wipe cache or an update, the system is doing an apps optimization after the restart each time. Are you taking about this one? If yes, yes there were apps optimization, if not, no I didn't do.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Quantomius:
In recovery mode there is an option at the bottom called Optimize Apps or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Quantomius:
In recovery mode there is an option at the bottom called Optimize Apps or something like that. If that doesn't help then the only option is to do a factory reset. And if that doesn't help you have a faulty battery and you should let it replaced under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Ok thanks, I will check for it. I will wait few days after the last update to see first and then do this optimize apps. Didn't even know this option did exist.

Unfortunately, as you suggested, I will have to do a factory reset if it doesn't improve too much. I read that if you use Smart Switch to copy your data on the new phone, it will make the battery not good. I did use it to transfer some data from my former iPhone, but cancelled it in the middle while it tried to transfer apps because it seemed to had freeze.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
You can do a smart switch backup to your PC, but don't bring back system data from the backup when you do a factory reset.

I always do it like this and I've never had any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Noted, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fkofilee:
Can confirm it has rolled out under Canary and is working without bootlooping.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] juymelc:
Hola, llevo unas semanas usando el ultimo firmware de indonesio y me va perfecto, todos recomiendan THL e INS para grabar llamadas cuando estas versiones dan problemas con Google Wallet, por que nadie opta por la opcion de indonesio ? Solo curiosidad, bueno va perfecto y correctamente recibe actualizaciones vía Ota

***Moderator Translation***

Hello, I've been using the latest Indonesian firmware for a few weeks and it's going perfectly for me, everyone recommends THL and INS to record calls when these versions give problems with Google Wallet, why doesn't anyone opt for the Indonesian option? Just curious, well it's going perfectly and it correctly receives updates via Ota

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tonisauffa:
Hi guys, how I could download the latest firmware? It's not avaiable on Samsung's server. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Intop:
indonesia CSC is "THL" name or "XID"?

Other users said that XID CSC not working Samsung Pay (only with indonesian banks)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] goRt:
Which CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tonisauffa:
EUX, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] goRt:
Just use any OXM ROM they're all the same and the CSC won't be changed
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tonisauffa:
Ok but OXM is not avaiable on Samsung's server
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] goRt:
All of these are part of OXM

https://xdaforums.com/t/galaxy-s918b-s23-oxm-multi-csc-s23-owo-multi-csc.4549525/
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tonisauffa:
I know it. What I'm saying is that the latest OXM firmware is not avaiable on Samobile and on Friya. Do you know where I can download it? I hope is more clear my request now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] goRt:
OXM is never available, pick one of the firmware that forms part of it and use that - they're all the same
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mikemanpl:
Hi, I changed my CSC from EUX to THL to have to voice recording and spam filtering. I just got notification about AWF7, but I am hesitant to update, not to loose google pay if I do so. I think that there was an update that broke the gpay if the new csc firmware was more recent to the eux one. Is it so, or this is jibberish and I can easily update not worrying about gpay?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] juymelc:
Please excuse me, when I used the translator instead of copying the translated text in English I did the opposite, it will not happen again
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] juymelc:
I use Google Wallet, I don't have problems with that, in my country several report Wallet failures also with THL and INS, with XID flashing the complete rom with Odin without problem
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Swift92:
I don’t know if you guys remember but during last years beta we wanted a fresh notification panel and a lot of people were crying about it… looks like is about to happen with One UI 6… those that were crying last year, get your tissues ready because it’s about to happen for real… not just talks. 😂👌😅
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
New music player! I hope Music Square returns, like we had in (I think) KitKat...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] superleeds27:
Wouldn't listen to anything that guy posts. He spoke to a customer support agent who basically found a post on Reddit/Samsung forums and fed that back to him
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
Is look OneUi 5.1.1 is around corner

Some app have update to support OneUi 5.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Only for the fold and flip
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Why are you talking about yourself as "we"? I do not remember anyone "crying" about such changes.

There was a rant of ond user as he did a post where he was CRYING for changes, literally he wanted to change s21 into xiaomi lol.

Customer rep cannot find a difference between s23 and s23 ultra and you want me to trust him? xD those people got literally 0, zero, null, none knowledge and access to such things - so I will be surprised if anythings of it will be truth. Unless it was stated elsewhere before his answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Swift92:
Aghh yes. I remember you. You were one of them crying about not wanting a change. It's not about changing Samsung into Xiaomi... It's about general change. One UI 6 is right around the corner. Grab your tissues now 😉 I won't cry if it doesn't change and stays the same. I'll somehow get over it... Sure I'll be disappointed but I definitely won't be shedding any tears over it. I also hope that you do the same if it does get redesigned. Please don't respond to future posts of mine, I'm not interested in speaking with you. Thanks. Just scroll past my comments... No need to reply 👌
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Miss, I didn't reply in that topic lol. Not sure why would I have to grab tissues? Are you one of those who come here to call other users? Better UI is win for us, not sure where is your issue kiddo. If you are not interested speaking to me, why did you bother to answer and also why do you lie? Moreover I will answer whenever I want, it is free world.

Adamlee was so frustrated and couldn't stand any kind of criticisms that he deleted his account here rotfl
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Let's just hope the first one is stable enough to use straight away and gets released in the UK the same time as Germany so no messing with ADB or that carry on, I'm in Ireland but have a UK SIM ready to go, just need to turn the Irish one off and I'll see the banner in Samsung members
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
You should not treat beta's as daily driver.

EUX is part of OXM which is released for multi-CSC. I flashen firmware from Thailand (THL) on my EUX device. Has still EUX after the July firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
I'm waiting like every year 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] henrik_tm:
I have EUX CSC firmware (AWD1) on the phone now, if I flash THL with Odin, will it retain EUX or I need to change CSC after?

Note, I will not use Home_CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Odin flash DOES NOT change the csc. There's a specific app here that changes the CSC but beware it will break samsung pay or any other region-specific app. All home_csc and just csc does it wipe/ not wipe your phone data. But why flash THL? Why not flash an OXM EU ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] henrik_tm:
Would love to if it was available to download ;) (AWF1 EUX)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
What I was referring to was any OXM ROM. Hope this link helps

I need AWF1 though, but as I understood all OXM fw is the same regardless of CSC.

I'll try the THL (is in OXM) and see what happens :)

how do I port the samsung camera app from this official firmware and make it work with my galaxy s8 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
You don't
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
You start reverse engineering Samsung's proprietary system files. Assuming that you have extremely high coding skills and understand the matter. #facepalm
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] anmac1789@gmail.com:
Ok so i guess it's not possible lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
But, what did you want to achieve with the port?

No sim card removal, nothing. I have an e-sim. Just VPN.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
On a separate note, can our updated comrades here check if GSAM is working? I have just updated the OS and GSAM seems to have taken a leave of absence. It force closes; I tried reinstalling it, giving it all adb permission yet the app won't open.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shreyas91:
Maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
And which CSC are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shreyas91:
INS.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] eyeatoma:
Just got the update here in Indonesia. So are we saying the only improvement is with the fingerprint scanner? Nothing else? That's fine really, this phone is so damn smooth, and the battery lasts much more than the s22 ultra. Just don't want them to break the battery haha!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
My fingerprint is very good, but I have to re-register evefy finger after applying the protective film.

I was used to Huawei that tends to constantly learn sligh variations, e.g. after applying a protective film.

But apparently Samsung doesn't and you have to register from scratch
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Yes, that's correct. Once you have the protective film, you need to register the fingerprints again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lawtq:
Nope. Doesn't want to work on this or previous release software. It doesn't like the s23 ultra so far
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] VITMAD:
Sorry by that, but in other models like s20, s21 and s22 are the links to the Notify Update, but in update to S23 didn't.

Anybody have the link to visit the site of that?

Thanks in advance

Did you mean this link?

https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-S918B/EUX/doc.html
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] VITMAD:
Yes, thank you but 10' ago didn't work, or maybe write not well.

Thanks once again
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
I just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys.

I mentioned somewhere in the forums that I had stabilization issues with 1080@60fps, it just wasn't working. I almost sent the device back for refund.

Since I wasn't getting the update on my csc, and didn't have any luck when changing csc before, this time i removed the sim card, changed csc to BTE, rebooted, connected to VPN, and I got the update!

The camera app is updated on this one. I did a reset settings for the camera, and now everything is flawless! So they definitely did some optimizations to the camera also.

EDIT:

The bug is still present, but can be avoided by leaving "Auto FPS" option ticked on. If that is disabled, the 1080@60fps gets broken stabilization.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] antenehnile:
you can not get update when change CSC code to EUY or EUY
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
I explained how i was able to change csc and get the update in my post above yours.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 0uK:
Hi there, i was waiting to see when the new update was coming to my phone but after seeing so many already had i decide to flash with the new firmware.

My last phone was the S10+ and back then I change the firmware to the PT version so I could get the updates faster (TPH), so I decide to do the same in this phone.

I download the new firmware and choose the same CSC (EUX).

Unfortunately i had a faulty new usb-c cable and got the error "An error Has occurred while updating the device software", luckily I was able to put the new firmware with a new cable but after checking the service provider I saw that it stay the same.

Do you guys know if the new updates work like before that it goes to the provider and then to the public? Or i did it wrong?

I remove the sim card before but it stayed the same.

I wanted to change because my mobile network is MEO on Portugal and they take a long time to release the updates.

My phone is unlocked and the SM-S918B version

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wnorbert85:
Hello, I updated my phone 2 days ago. Is it possible to restore the previous system, the one with which the phone was released?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] :
Hi there - download AWA6 from Sammobile, choose CSC not Home when flashing with Odin, but you'll lose all your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wnorbert85:
It's safe the downgrade? I wont brick the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] :
I've already downgraded on my SM-S198B hoping to see the oem unlock toggle in developer options - no luck. OTA back to AWBD went without a hitch - I hope you have no problems doing the same
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Nice. Lets hope i dont ned to change csc to get it fast heh
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Big update. Interesting what is under hood but really in daily use not official changelog.

I wait for this and hope for fix battery life.

Even in the worst situation, broke something (like battery, camera quality etc) this build not update bootloader (V3) so possible is back to June version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
Just updated, camera got a version bump. I was hoping that the front camera stabilization would be fixed but it's still shaky.

I'll see what else has changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Me to, changed csc to Thailand
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
Always works like a charm haha 😁🤝🏼
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Lol yeah 😂 do you go back to the original csc?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrDusan:
Yes, because my csc has hd+ calling and it seems that overall call stability is better. I had some dropped calls on thl.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Aha,

My csc dont have hd+ wierd

One UI 6 beta OUT IN GERMANY
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
Not true. Just a newsroom article about the beta, its not live yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Swift92:
Well you can register now if in one of the 3 listed countries
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
Not yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Swift92:
Yes !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
However, it doesn’t look like anyone can sign up for the beta right now and only Samsung Germany has made the announcement, so it’s possible the company pulled the trigger early.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
Just no. The link provided there just links to an server error. And the article just got deleted again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
LoL, where is your problem?

Also check your last two lines of your own post, this is just pathetic.

@Electronic Punk do you want to keep beta talk here or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Swift92:
@Electronic Punk Beta thread needs to be created. It's very close to rolling out.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] olo320i:
How you think guys, they gonna resume beta download from AWF7 or from AWGJ ? I would like to update my phone to AWGJ with August security update but I don't want to downgrad my phone to AWF7 to take a part in a14 beta test if they start testing based on AWF7.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Swift92:
Good question.... 🤷
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] t-shock:
since AWGJ hasnt been released to EUX yet, I suppose they will release the A14 beta for AWF7
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
Please create a new thread for beta, I will prob use the beta myself but dont manage those threads.

This will be for stable releases as there will be a couple more of those before One UI 6.

Exciting times!

Sorry for the dumb question: got AWGJ OTA notification and I am on THL csc from EU initially. Is it safe to update if I care about gpay? And for future updates: is there a way to check if a certain OTA will cause problems for gpay myself? If so, how/where to do it?

Si tengo instalada una rom THL en la versión EUX, ¿me llegarán las OTA de EUX? Instalé la rom de julio descargada de aquí (versión THL) y quiero saber si seguiré recibiendo ota. Mi CSC es EUX/PLS

Mod edit: English please!

Google translation:

If I have a THL rom installed in the EUX version, will I get the EUX OTAs? I installed the july rom downloaded from here (THL version) and I want to know if I will still receive ota. My CSC is EUX/PLS
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Yes...you will get updated as and when EUX OTA is out.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
Honestly depends a little on versions, but if the EUX version is different for any reason, you can just flash it with Odin again.

I see the beta is out which is great, so please discuss that in the beta thread, I am on holiday in 3 days so prob really really bad timing to put a beta on, but hyped to check it out when I am back!

Also note currently the beta update is for AWF7 as that is the release is Germany and Korea.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
I wonder when the August update AWGJ will be rolled out for those not interested in beta, while all the excitement around the OneUI 6.0 beta (from July update!) continues...

It's included the update to OneUI 5.1.1 (the same as the new foldable)

How can i change my Firmware to a non branded one? My phone is EUX/EUX/DO2 cause i bought it from o2 and thus cannot participate in the beta. I live in Germany and want to remove that stupid branding
