Custom Kernel

Finally installed this kernel after much research RE: compcache and I have to say thanks, Jamezelle. Had to run the manual script to start compcache (swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0) but now that it's on the phone seems to be much more responsive. I'm hoping the battery life will improve as well.

Can you give a list of steps you did to get this going?
 
I would be interested in those instructions too.

D1 MIUI 1.22.1 p3LV125-1250 w/SetCPU using Mr_DSL's BlissSuaveHD v7

***Thank You JAMZELLE***
 
Been having issues with the droid forums app today...anyway...

My phone is finicky and doesn't seem to like p3 based kernels, but I thought heck with it I'll give it a shot. Very simple steps and I couldn't be happier.

D/L jamezelle's v2 kernel from earlier in the thread
Install from SD card via ROM Manager, with a backup
If the phone boots, you're golden...let everything load.
Start Terminal and type

su
free

This will give you a look at how your memory is being used. Apparently the autostart script didn't work on my droid because the swap showed all zeroes. If that is the case, type

swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0

That is all it took to turn on compcache. I closed Terminal, opened a couple apps, closed them and went back into terminal and did typed

su
free

And it gives you your memory stats. There are other commands that jamezelle posted earlier in the thread that give even more in depth RAM data but these are the easiest commands.

Hope that was of some help...

Battery update - been off the charger since 6 AM (it's now 7:47 PM) with moderate usage all day, just got done messing around with a couple games (3d pong) and I'm @ 60% battery. I did notice that the phone gets pretty warm during heavy load, but all in all I'm completely ecstatic with this kernel.

Thanks J!
 
I followed your directions and got:

swapon: /dev/block/ramzswap0: Invalid argument

Any suggestions?

Edit:

Did this:

rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 --init

# then do

swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0


That did the trick!

You skiped initialized command---

do this @ terminal
#su
#rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 --init
#swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0
#free

you should see a swap, also make sure busybox is current should b 1.17.1 version

Edit:: sorry I ddnt read whole thing just make sure busybox is up to date.. or re download kernel again and re apply-- good luk!

Does anyone have a link to JZ's latest kernel, all links that are in this thread go to a web page that can't be found. Any help would be awesome, thanks. Want to run it before 1.28 its released so I'll know if it even works on my droid, or if I shouldn't try using out on the next release, we all anxiously await.
Go JZ, you can do it

When i do the #rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 --init my phone reboots itself and when i do the next line it tells me its invalid?
