Swap enabling in custom roms cm7 - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

i read that swap adds to RAM in DTapps2sd thread....
how can we enable swap in custom roms of cm7???
any disadvantages of enabling SWAP in custom ROMS??
i have heard lot about how swap partitions help in improving application performance when physical memory becomes full.
this would surely help playing certain high 3d games without lag.
but i need to know if enabling SWAP will have any disadvantages?

[Q] Reducing System(not user) Memory? and amount to keep free?

SAUROM with build.prop tweaks, nothing else flashed through CWM
Hi I noticed that when over about 525mb or RAM usage on our device it starts to increase launcher lag and general lag across:
GO Launcher
ADW Launcher
TW Launcher
I tried different CPU governers:
Smartass2
Ondemand
Power Save (dur dur dur)
And right after I turn it on within 5 mins this is my RAM:

http://www.box.com/s/6cc0ab0a29bd003e9dc6
Can I reduce the amount of memory the apps marked with RED use?
Can I remove the ones circled in GREEN safely by deleting the apk?
How much memory do we want to keep free at all times?
Thanks in advance!
fixed 2nd link sry
zeppelinrox who makes scripts told me to use less dalvik heap size and i tried it,,are phones are 128mb,,,i turned mine down to 64mb and it seems to run alot more smoother now,,,I've noticed both roms have 128mb which is too much and not needed for this device..That's why i keep my stock with only a overclocked kernel and just add my own build prop tweaks....

Thanks for the response. I will look for an app that can help me modify this and post back if it uses less memory.
memory optimizer root works for adjusting more aggressive settings it free too....

i just checked it out but actually going to roll with RAM Manager Free or RAM Manager Pro seems awesome, thanks for your help as you were the only one that replied lol.

Devil Kernel Config questions

Have some questions about the Devil Kernel Config App:
-in the RAM settings are all three sizes CM9, XL, and Big Mem actual RAM allocations or do they use a RAM disk on the flash storage?
-do any of them have issues? does 403mb still cause video playback errors?
-are there any problems with using devil idle? any effect?
-does deep idle still cause sod issues?
Thanks
403mb still breaks video playback, the ram values determine how much is available to the system... not sure about devil idle or deep idle(dont use them).

Zram, Swapfile and Swappiness

Could one of the devs please a create/start comprehensive /definitive guide on how to create a swapfile, how and where to and what values to set. I've found setxperia the easiest and most flexible way to create one but am confused what values to set.
my currently configured setup is
lupus kernel for stock v5.1
hasa miui 3.1.25 (while waiting for zellycream 2.5.2 mdpi)
105mb (max available size) swapfile created in cache partition, zram 26mb (half of max available value of 52mb) and swappiness 50mb (again half of max available value of 100mb).
are these values in any way effective? if not, what should be the ideal real world size, i'm not much of a heavy duty gamer but others are so what would be the ideal sizes for gamers and non-gamers respectively? is setxperia the ideal way to setup these values? if not, what is?
TIA!
Yes this values are ideal and perfect.
But if you want more heavy duty games to run download swapper 2
Tool from play store and double your ideal sizes it will be perfect...

thanks for your feedback, i've uninstalled setxperia and tried out swapper 2 (going with the app's recommended settings). from my understanding, it does its magic after the phone boots up (i found a setting for "run swapper at startup"). i'm curious, is there an app that creates something like init.d scripts to have swap enabled while or before the phone fully boots up rather than as an app that does its magic after bootup?
also, swapper 2 most probably has "safe" generic recommended settings identical for all users but what would be the recommended settings to use in various different scenarios like for use by heavy duty gamer or for a person that browses mostly etc.?

(Help) Games auto closing

i use temasek cm11 rom v124 and boeffla kernel
when i try to play a HD graphic game the game closes and goes back to the home screen. no force close or anything
i have this problem at many games for example real racing 3, Spiderman 2, Kritika..
I think its a ram problem but how can i solve it? i dont have many apps in background and i use greenify to clean it.
please help me
It's surely related to the ridiculous SGS3 ram.
How many apps you have installed? Who are the heaviest ones (e.g. eventual tweaker, system monitor, optimizator, battery saver)?
From Boeffla Config you have to enable z-ram (if you didn't it) and choose 4 devices (one for each cpu core) for better performance.
If you continue to have similar issues with heavy apps/games try to increase the z-ram size (note that first you have to disable it and wait nearly 1 minute, until the action is completed).
Be careful to not exceed, ram under "that" size will be compressed as happens for zipped files, so worst performance due to overload and more battery drain.
For hopeless users no more than 300-400 MB, for normal users no more than 200 MB [emoji6]

Looking for 4.1+ ROMs w/o hd/cam bugs & is swap compatible

o/ guise
New to all the custom ROMs for HTC ReZound, but its been a long time coming.
I'm hoping to see people respond with experience in using ROMs on this device.
What I'm looking for is a Custom ROM that enables me the use of these features:
*Android version 4.1 or above
*A fully working Camera app with no bugs what so ever. ( not the restart phone after 3 videos )
*Ability to stream HD content with no bugs as well. ( no issues with HD playback via youtube-netflix-pornhub lol )
*Access to create a swap file ( ROEHSOFT Memory Info & Swap / ROEHSOFT RAM Expander )
Now I know this phone is old but it still got lots of life in it and its a good phone! It has been a while so I'm sure there is ROMS out there that support all this. I just don't know where to begin to look.
So I'm looking for the experience from this wonderful community to help shine some light in my direction. Big Thanks to everyone here. with all the help and support!
closing using CM10.2/Snuzzo Kernel
