since the note 2 has a lot of memory, my question is, does zram help it? from what I know, devices with more ram does not gain much from enabling it and it also uses more cpu/battery due to the swapping. However, I do not know how disabling it would be as I am using the perseus kernel and its settings are probably set to work well with the zram. Ultimately, should I leave zram on with the default settings or turn it off?
No.. U don't need it

Which kernels have the perflock disabled? Right now I am using SetCPU to disable it, but I must re-do it everytime I restart the phone. Does Toasts new kernel have it disabled already?
I believe all of the latest FPS fix kernels support OCing (cameras work also!) I'm using the netarchy-toastmod kernel and all you have to do is set your frequencies in SetCpu......or profiles if you want to use them. Just dont leave it OC'd in performance scaling. I've read that can really cut the lifespan of your phone.

Not sure if i'm talking about the same thing. Im talking about the perflock setting in setcpu, i read that you have to dissable perflock after every reset. Do I still need to do that with the new toast kernel?
I'm currently running the devil kernel on my phone, using the new devil app to control settings but I really don't know a couple settings though. First what I'd zram and is it better than swap? And what's the best value to set the zram at? I have it on 150mb
Oops wrong section
I'm using swap(third partition of my sdcard). It's bigger than ZRAM, I hope it needs less CPU to work. But it's only for cached apps.
I'm using a wifi 8.4. Is there any way to have only the little cores active for specific apps
Installing a custom kernel could help you control these cores. You could make it where tasks always try to use the least amount of cores and uses the other cores if it cant keep up.
Could I do something with tasker? Maybe a script or something?
I dont know. I use skyhigh kernel and synapse app to control cpu and stuff. It also saves battery.
Yeah, I'm already using Skyhigh. I'll just go and figure something out then
I'm thinking about unlocking and rooting my P2 because I want to change the off screen cpu speed and cores activated. Is it possible with the stock kernel? I've been using kernel audior on my LG G4 and there was a setting to limit the amount of active cores when the screen was off. I cannot check it myself on the P2 because kernel auditor won't start without root.
The reason why I want to change this is that I listen a lot to Spotify and audio books and looking at cpu monitor applications the all say that all 8 cores are running att 600mhz all the time. It drains my battery a lot faster than I think is needed. On my LG G4 I forced only max 2 cores to be active when screen is of and i hade no trouble att all. No stuttering etc. Is it possible to fix this with root or do I need a custom kernel? I know no custom kernel exists.
I think we will need a custom kernel for this, unfortunately. I want a custom kernel for color correction
Hi all,
The main issue with this device for me is very clear, lack of memory and the memory management. The 2gb swap doesn't make any difference in my testing.
I think this device would benefit massively from zram or compressed ram as it has quite a strong CPU compared to the ram issues.
I guess we'd just need to unlock the bootloader, root the stock ROM and then turn on zram.
Has anyone tried it?
Many thanks
