__link__ | Disable Zram Magisk

(compressed RAM swap) on Android using is typically done to reduce CPU overhead and latency, especially on devices with high physical RAM (6GB+) Methods to Disable zRAM via Magisk Swap Torpedo (Recommended)

zRAM functions by creating a compressed block in a portion of the system’s physical RAM. When the system begins to run out of memory, it moves inactive pages into this compressed area rather than swapping them to the much slower physical storage (eMMC or UFS). This effectively increases the "perceived" memory capacity of the device. For older devices with 2GB or 4GB of RAM, zRAM is a vital tool that prevents background apps from closing prematurely and staves off "Out of Memory" (OOM) kills. The Argument for Disabling zRAM disable zram magisk

# Reset the zram device to free the memory back to the system echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset 
#!/system/bin/sh
# Disable ZRAM at boot
sleep 5  # Wait for system to initialize
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
# Optional: Disable zram kernel module
# rmmod zram

Disable all zram devices
