NT:skip to bottom thread to see how. all this just a intro

Spoiler content hidden.

now joke aside

i have to add disclaimer before continue, please read!.

1.the creator is janithcooray and not me!. I'm just modded the file to allow bigger and avoid conflict(ID)

2.the source code it self have multiple code by multiple people. it may or may not original created by janithcooray. as there many thing pointing to multiple name. or forum. but in this case i modified/tweak janithcooray code thus if the code proven to be also "borrowed" do not blame me.

3.i,100% do not have permission from janithcooray. thus the file i place here are in grey area!. in one hand it opensource and anyone can modified it. on otherhand. i still haven't ask the creator

Intro(real)

this is not actually add more ram. that physically impossible. but instead adding extra virtual ram(aka swap/etc) as mention by janith. this is not replacing zram by sony. so 4gb built-in vram stay there and counted. so if you use my file a 12gb vram meaning 24gb in total as 8(ram)+4(zram)+12(swap)

now does it make different?

YES! and No... Kinda??

it important that vram != ram.

Yes it does make different as more vram mean more stored cached/hibernated app

BUT NO! more vram doesn't mean more performance on heavy tasked app like games

also it kinda help? as it mean less closing app and more swipe to home?

note:i called it vram instead swap or zram because there also sony zram. so vram mean both Virtual memory

now in seriousness

as i test and currently still tested in my daily drive Xperia

under perfect condition(or lab result people said).

it does effect and work well. stressing the ram does move many app to vram to some degree before crashing/killed due to out of memory(the app not whole os)

but again that with a very specific app to do specific thing and it to fill ram.(the app i used app no longer on playstore.)

under real world whoever thing starting to turn grey.

1.using original 8gb meaning 20 in total most vram usage for me is less than 4gb(less than sony built-in give) thus the extra basically useless

2.even in some rare case where i found that it can do more than 5. in the end it never hit more than 6gb vram usage for 4 month daily drive test thus original 4gb mod already enough for most user.

whoever every use is different and my use case is consider light as i often kill background app anyway thus. a 8+4+4 configuration may or may not still not enough for heavy user.

so in tutorial bellow i will recommended 8gb original.

HOW TO:

before continue please remember there zram built-in. to help use how much in total i have calculate total ram you have

original 4gb(8ram+4zram+4swap) = 16gb ram(a standard mid range configuration)

original 8gb(8ram+4zram+8swap) = 20gb ram(a okay flagship size, and tested size for long time also recommended)

modded 12gb(8ram+4zram+12swap) = 24gb ram(kinda to big but okay to flex with friend specially if the believe in midrange virtual memory bs anyway)

modded 16gb(8ram+4zram+16swap) = 28gb ram(why the heck you need 20gb of vram???. but i use this one anyway)

if you want to use original mod by janith please download from official github and use lin_os_swap. as i test that one instead the other one. but if you want to use the Extra one please download from file below original have option of 4gb and 8gb vram. while my modified have 12gb and 16gb vram

open magisk(use 24+) and install from zip

follow tutorial on screen. but in case you need guide. here a help. after open press vol up fast or it will be default 4gb on both original and modified

select the vram and wait. the bigger the file the longer. it should take 1-3minutes depend on size. in case it look stuck please wait atleast 30minutes before cancel

reboot

(extra) download ram truth or meminfo check Swap total if it bigger than 4gb then it work as intended.
