We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
1 | initial version | posted 2014-10-29 07:30:55 +0200 |
Update 9 Uitukka seems to bring along memory pressures for ~tiny~ 1 GB RAM available. Tiny in that sense that Jolla has dual systems in place, modern Android devices have 2..3 GB of memory just for Android, but Jolla try to dupport both Android and Sailfish by only 1 GB.
New QT framework vetsion 5.2 plus another more nodern version of system SW like browser engine updated to Gecko 31 seems to give Jolla's RAM memory hard times. Sometimes Jolla feels like N900 which is notorious with constant swapping no matter what you try to do putting phone to lagging.
That might help partly if Jolla enables zram to make part of system memory conpressed, so device can hold more active content on RAM before swapping pages to slow internal flash.
At least current Android versions use zram ss basic feature, so ut should be well behaving kernel component to help Jolla out of OOM (pun intented).

I had on Uitukka zram set as 2x48MB. Now with upd10 I have upgraded that to be 25% e.g. 2x101 MB. I still wonder what is the best size for zram to prevent too aggressive low memory killer to kick in and start killiing (randomly, not so, but it still feels like it) of tasks?

EDIT. Yes, zram is active for all u10 users. Here are information how to change the zram size from default 13%: https://together.jolla.com/question/77183/how-to-change-zram-size/
I had on Uitukka zram set as 2x48MB. Now with upd10 I have upgraded that to be 25% e.g. 2x101 MB. I still wonder what is the best size for zram to prevent too aggressive low memory killer to kick in and start killiing (randomly, not so, but it still feels like it) of tasks?
I really do not like to loose my tasks regulary, I have even started to envy iOS approarch at least save the state of task before killing it to be able to restore it at least seemingly same state...
