Root STOCK MICROMAX A87 BOOT.IMG with swap disabled (zram)

hi guys

this is a stock a87 boot.img which has swap disabled which is also known as zram

disabling the zam does not add up 51mb to main memory(need help regarding this)

zram also boosts the performance because its a part of mian memory
default value for zram is 60 means system will only swap if more memory needed by the system ,if we set this value to 100 then applications which are not active will be compressed and loaded into zram freeing up the memory

100 value also has the negative points like it takes bit 2-4sec slow in opening multi applications as sometime it swap between main memory and zram but its faster then the sd-card swapping

to set it has 100 value ,open terminal emulator and type
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

u have to type this on every boot ,if we add init.d support then we can auto run this command while booting(working)

this thread was posted due to request ,hope u find it usefull

i prefer having zram enabled, any one can still use swapper2 for enabling swap to gain memory.....
i'm using it and no performance lag while using it.....

anywayz init.d support is here
