Pinetab Mobian optimization

[brorean]

From the original post I made the changes to zram:

/etc/default/zramswap

Code:

PERCENT=100
#SIZE=512
PRIORITY=100
CORES=1

I also created a 3GB swapfile following this guide: Swap - Manjaro
Doing the above things stopped Mobian on PineTab from hanging; at least for me.

The other changes I made where to remove some of the software; in particular gnome-software.  This is the Software app that lets you use a GUI to update and install stuff.  This program takes anywhere between 15%-17% of the total memory of PineTab and when you first boot it uses a good amount of cpu power to check for updates.  Since I just use the command line I just removed it and gain more available memory. 

I also removed chatty and gnome-calls since these are for the phone features which freed up 5% more of the memory. I don't plan on buying the modem or use these features.  As such I also disabled ModemManager, but this step doesn't really gain you much.

Code:

sudo apt remove gnome-software chatty gnome-calls
sudo systemctl stop ModemManager.service
sudo systemctl disable ModemManager.service
sudo reboot

Another thing I should note, is in Firefox I use at most 3 tabs otherwise performance isn't the best.

Lastly this post was posted using the PineTab....I use it for about 3 hours every night.
