[General Questions and Answers] WoKoschekk:
we calculate with base 2!

=> 1024^2 = MiB = 1.048.576 Byte

=> 1.048.576 x 2258 = 2.367.684.608 Byte = 2,2GiB!!

=> 2258MiB = 2,2GiB

There is no partition or used storage for zRAM/swap on your device. Consider that zRAM is compressed with lz4 (=50% compression). So, 1GiB RAM storage needs only 512MiB zRAM storage. The (de)compression is done by the kernel.

zRAM (and also swap) can't boost your system. These partitions are only used for cached data. Before your kernel deletes this data to clear RAM storage it gets compressd and stored in the zRAM area. It's the most useless data.

zRAM is a dynamic partition on your RAM. If RAM only needs 128MiB zRAM then zRAM won't be greater than 128MiB. It never increases to the full available size until it's really needed. If fsrab states "55%" than 55% is the maximum size of zRAM in your RAM and not a persistent size that is always occupied.

Don't change anything regarding to the RAM management as Android is nearly perfect handling thas by itself. You can only make it worse.
[General Questions and Answers] LaurenceGough:
Thanks again. The issue I'm facing is that just a few basic apps struggle to run when multitasking, I have disabled all power saving features and MIUI optimisations / powerkeeper daemon but when switching apps or webpages they very often reload fully. I am certain this is an issue with low memory, and I know 4GB is not a lot of memory these days, but I thought I could run more than two tabs in a web browser, and more than a few simple apps without them reloading.

My understanding of zRAM is that it compresses RAM as you say, whilst this taxes the CPU more it should be able to compress more data into the RAM, effectively allowing more apps / webpages (pages) to stay available to use, rather than being killed by the low memory killer dameon lmkd.

Is my understanding correct that this 55% zRAM would provide an extra ~3.3GB or so of compressed RAM, making the total addressable RAM approx ~5.3GB?

If the 2GB of "RAM boost" or SWAP as it should be called if I am correct was working I'd expect it to be able to keep a few more apps or tabs running in memory and prevent a full reload? Is there any way I could check if this is running correctly without root? I know SWAP partitions are not ideal and they have a few downsides but I think this phone has relatively fast storage for its price range.

I am on the lookout for a device with more RAM but it'd be nice to understand a bit more about this situation and learn.
[General Questions and Answers] WoKoschekk:
Your RAM storage remains 4096MiB. The swapped data in zRAM is compressed and can't processed until it gets decompressed. All data in zRAM actually should have been deleted and this storage isn't acting as additional RAM storage increasing your performance per se.

Apart from that Android's RAM management always uses 60-70% under normal conditions. For peaks, due to some heavy memory using apps, it can increase to 80-90% while at the same time zRAM increases, too. It's correlating. You can't force RAM to swap everthing into zRAM for having 2-3GB available. That's not the meaning of zRAM.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] spot25light:
Hey everyone, I have a OnePlus 5t device. In my country, I can't use a CDMA sim card because the device is GSM system in both sim slots. Instead, I took my phone to a phone technician who probably unlocked the sim to accept the CDMA sim. The network worked well, but I can't use the 4g internet. It will only work for calls and 3g , or just 4g alone without being able to make or receive calls. Is there anything I can do to make work for calls and 4g simultaneously? Help me please

[Chromebooks] Arpman96:
I have noticed over the last couple years that the resource usage of Chrome OS has continued to balloon beyond any common sense. I can't be the only one can I?

I have two fairly high performance Chromebooks. One, a Google Slate with the m3 and 8G of RAM and a Dell 7410 i5 with 16G RAM. When I first got the Slate, I could run Linux no problem with plenty of RAM to spare. It would startup with less than 3G in use. Now, it has become almost pointless. The Slate boots up to the Chrome OS desktop with less than 3G of free RAM so running Linux or anything that requires significant RAM just causes the OS to start allocating compressed ZRAM.

The Dell 7410 still performs reasonably well but only because it has 16G of physical RAM. Still, it now boots up with almost 8G of RAM in use before I launch a single thing!

Google seems to want power users to take ChromeOS seriously so they've added all kinds of great features like ARCVM and the ability to run multiple Linux VM's. Yet, they still seem to be developing the OS as though it's 10 years ago. Back then they could allocate all the system RAM as they chose because the Chrome browser was the only app the system could run.

Neither MacOS, Windows or various Linux distros go so far as to consume almost 50% of the memory on boot while operating on hardware with 16G or more RAM. What is Google thinking!? A good OS should prioritize resources for user applications and minimize resource consumption by the core OS.

I'm thinking about reflashing my Slate to make it useful again as there is no sign that Google is going to make ChromeOS lean again, anytime soon.
[Chromebooks] ethical_haquer:
I say "Ditch Google!" That's ridiculous. :( I've heard that maybe you can install Linux instead.
[Chromebooks] Arpman96:
You are correct. It's always an option to go into "Developer Mode" on Chromebooks and flash with a new OS image. The new image can be a Linux distro provided it has the right drivers. You still have to go into Developer Mode on every reboot to get past the BIOS but it works. Still, there's just no good reason for this if Google approached OS resource management like any other good OS.

At this point the 8G Slate boots with 2.5G free! That is appalling. Do these Google kiddies have a clue? One has to wonder if there is anybody at Google overseeing the architecture or if there are just 100's of little silos uninterested in how their combined drains on system resources may effect the actual usefulness of the OS.
[Chromebooks] ethical_haquer:
Well, I'm honestly not sure why you would expect Google, a huge corporation that makes money by harvesting people's data and advertising, to actually care about making a lean and usable OS. Instead it is chock-full of spy-ware.

:mad:

Personally I will never buy a Google or Apple product. This just assures me that I'm not missing out on anything! :ROFLMAO:
[Chromebooks] Arpman96:
Finally figured out what the root of the memory issue is.

The "Play Store" option in Settings enables or disables the Android (ARCVM) feature of ChromeOS. The Android virtual environment can easily suck down around 4G of RAM immediately after boot even if the user isn't using any Android apps. This seems far from optimal implementation IMO.

The "Play Store" disable option allows the user to totally shut down the Android functionality and recover the RAM, but unfortunately deletes all downloaded apps and data as well. A considerably better option would be to provide a "Shutdown Android" feature just like the "Shutdown Linux" feature already in the OS. This would allow power users to temporarily shut down Android and recoup the resources when we need more resources dedicated to RAM intensive tasks like running multiple VM's, Android Studio, etc.

I have provided this feedback to Google. Maybe they will eventually think about it. Who knows.
[Chromebooks] Arpman96:
I recently realized how bad the ARCVM problem is for those with lesser Chromebooks. My parents have two HP Chromebooks with 4G RAM. While visiting I realized that the performance on these machines was terrible even with only a few tabs open on the browser. The system was so buried by ZRAM swapping that even the mouse pointer skips around the screen on occasion. I checked both their systems with the Diag app and found that they were both running near 0.15G of free RAM!

Like many Chromebook users, they don't even use the Play Store. For them, Chromebooks are simply a more secure way to access the web. Nevertheless, an optional ChromeOS component (ARCVM) is completely burying system memory allocation and drastically reducing performance for them and many others. That is utterly absurd. I assume there is somebody at Google who coordinates all the various group efforts under the umbrella of ChromeOS and yet the evidence seems to indicate otherwise in this case. Chromebooks were built for performance from the beginning but that important aspect is now clearly being neglected.

Of course, I disabled the Play Store (ARCVM) on their Chromebooks and they were both quite pleased with the increased performance of their machines which now both had nearly 2G of free RAM. They had no idea what the Play Store was for, much less how to disable it.

If Chromebook performance is allowed to fall to these poor levels for the most common types of Chromebooks what is supposed to attract the average buyer?

Google seems to be buried in their layers of bureaucracy to the point where they have lost the point of what they're doing. They long-ago removed "Don't Be Evil" from their mission statement. I guess that was too restrictive. How about a simple "Develop Good Products."? That would be nice.
[Chromebooks] ethical_haquer:
All I can say is... I'm not using Google myself. If "Don't Be Evil" contradicts a company's mission, then they won't be getting my business.

Is OEM unlocking enabled on your device and you're unable to turn it off? If so, then your smartphone is unlocked, and you need to lock it; otherwise, the error will persist.

The phone has the oem disabled so the bootloader is not unlocked...it is a super rare case. I understand a lot about this type of thing and it has never happened to me, but I will need a specific file to fix in a non-root way, I don't want to root it. I know that with magisk I fix it, but in this case it's a bug in the original room, the safetynet application detects it as if it was tricked

[Red Magic 8 pro] J.Michael:
I am confused. Have you installed a new ROM or not?

You said you changed from "cn" to "eu". You said one ROM left the phone unusable. You must have "flashed" a new ROM, several times. Maybe the problem is that the original ROM's identity is somehow known, and anything else will cause this mismatch. Try restoring the "cn" ROM.

Mostly out of curiosity: Have you enabled Developer Options? Do they show any kind of entry for "OEM unlock", even if greyed-out?

Maybe you should install one of the idiot "root checkers", like Momo or TBChecker. You might get a more detailed explanation of what it doesn't like, which *might* be related to what is making "CTS Profile" not pass.
[Red Magic 8 pro] jaimele:
If l change from rom uncommon to eucomon and it works correctly but does not pass the cts profile. The oem is grayed out and the bootloader is locked.
[Red Magic 8 pro] J.Michael:
I thought you said that you started with "cn" and changed to "eu". I'm saying maybe that's what's wrong. Maybe the device somehow identifies itself as "naturally cn", so if it is not "cn", and you are not using a Magisk module to "spoof" its properties, it fails CTS Profile.

Even if you don't want to install Magisk, you might gain some insight by reading in the Magisk thread. I'm not sure what affects CTS Profile.

Has your device been converted to global by the dealer who sold it to you? You may not like it but that may be the answer. You need to examine your device profile in detail to systematically get to the bottom of it.

Flushing all data+cache from GPS & GSF may be worth a shot although unlikely to resolve if there is an actual mismatch causing the device not to pass.

More recently, you said the phone was originally 3.18 "cn".

Have you tried reinstalling 3.18 "cn"?

What is the procedure for installing a ROM? Do you use adb / fastboot on a PC? Does the phone have built-in support for changing the ROM?
