Guest fischschneehase Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 isnt it able to change the swap block of the acer kernels without the source data?
Guest Auxx Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Swap degrades your experience. 1. It depletes resource of your sd. But no one cares. 2. By default, if RAM needed, then apps are removed from RAM. If they are needed later, they are loaded from ROM. If swap enabled, apps are moved to swap and then loaded from SD (from swap) if needed. The difference? ROM is like 100x time faster then your SD.
Guest fischschneehase Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 You are right but you forgitt to mention that rom is not very big if you install some apps;)
Guest fischschneehase Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Ps. Just tested 47 mh free rom apps are killed too fast swapper keeps much more apps alive!
Guest Auxx Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 You are right but you forgitt to mention that rom is not very big if you install some apps;) Nothing swaps to ROM, apps are simply relaunched.

Which means that only really unused memory area will be swapped, a the "halfly used" by apps ones will be killed by the low memory killer.

It only be somehow useful for apps like qemu and bochs.
Guest fischschneehase Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 will compcache work with the acer kernel?!

Guest fischschneehase Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Building it is in the plan. So you are trying to build it into the next froyo realise?
Guest phhusson Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 So you are trying to build it into the next froyo realise? Done in latest boot.img (see google code's page). For people wondering how can ramzswap be useful, with LMK, see (right after a boot): # free total used free shared buffers Mem: 149568 146944 2624 0 80 Swap: 37380 20736 16644 Total: 186948 167680 19268 #
