<![CDATA[ZRAM and Swap?]]>I have some questions about implementing that functions on our surnia port (I am doing this with a fellow that helps me a lot). surnia only has 1 GB of RAM, and our first builds consume a lot of RAM, with the result of lags and saturation of the phone in its functions.

So, how we could implement that?

We will test that command.

@doniks myself and a fellow (@bartbart2003 ) have tested that on config, but it seems not working at this moment

mhm. so you did enable in the kernel config and it has rebuilt and booted successfully? Anything visible in kernel log?

I have never used zram before, but from quick research it looks as if it is all about creating a swap space (in compressed ram). Do you have a swap device now? Is it used (swapon -s)?
