Universal Guide How To Enable zRAM / Swap in Any Custom Rom – MT65XX


What Is zRAM/Swap?
How to Enable zRAM / Swap in Any Custom Rom – MT65XX. zRAM is a Linux kernel function that gives a form of virtual memory compression. zRAM increases overall performance by way of keeping off paging to disk and the usage of a compressed block device in RAM instead, inside which paging takes area until it is essential to apply the swap area on a hard disk drive. since using zRAM is an alternative way to provide swapping on RAM, zRAM allows Linux to make a better use of RAM when swapping/paging is needed, specifically on older Devices with much less RAM installed.

Add VoLTE Feature in Non-VoLTE Mediatek OEM Custom Roms


So, Many users of custom roms users reported to have broken volte or volte not working while on roaming. 
There was a workaround to turn off/on radio from engineering mode but it only lasted till a reboot.
After looking into the matter last night i found the feasible permanent solution for it. It'll be little long so bear with me.

After fiddling with every firmware and custom rom i found out the cause of volte breakdown was the IMS status being not registered for some reason. You guys can check in IMS status option in 3 dot menu inside the engineering mode(*#*#4636#*#*). IMS services are responsible for calling and sms services over lte network.

Soo, Here is Small tutorial for all peoples who are Custom Rom on their devices and facing VoLTE issue...
This method works in few mtk OEM Roms and not all.

Tested in:
Pixel Ui mm
Condor A8 stock rom

Method 1: (preferred)

1. Unpack the Rom
2. Do normal porting
3. Apply Volte patch1 and patch2 (no need of egl folders) {Replace those files inside patch from ur stock Rom}


Method 2: (not recommended sometimes cause  rom to become totally unstable or may not boot up)

Copy all “files” in bin, lib, lib64 and paste in respective Port rom folder but Don’t replace existing files. This is to add missing files responsible for VoLTE/network

Next apply patch 1 and 2, mentioned in Method 1

Buildprop:

1. Delete unnecessary lines like cdma in case your stock rom doesn’t have those lines
2. Add all lines related to ims and VoLTE from stock/any VoLTE rom

Bootimg:

1. Edit it as per stock/any VoLTE Rom’s bootimg
2. Add modem, VoLTE, mal files in case if its present in stock
3. Zip everything and flash the Rom
4. Let it bootup

ImsService app:

1. Make a flashable zip of ImsService in system/priv-app/ImsService from stock or any other Rom

2. Flash it after Roms boots up.

You may add it directly in Rom but some cases Rom will get stuck in bootanimation.

In case one ImsService app doesn’t work try replacing from different Roms

Version Information
Status: Beta

YouTube HD Playback
Newer youtube app versions have broken video quality detection. For fixing that problem you need to use a older youtube version. This version is working: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...-apk-download/

Second Method

To fix HD Videos on Youtube all we have to do is: 

Thanks to : Typhus_

Install Latest Youtube App
Open it and see any video (one you know it should be 1080p available but it's stuck at 360p)
Navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs (use any explorer with root permission)
Open youtube.xml

Find:
Code:
<boolean name="h264_main_profile_supported6.0.1" value="false" />

Replace to:
Code:
<boolean name="h264_main_profile_supported6.0.1" value="true" />
Save the file

Enjoy!

VPN
thanks to nervehammer
Follow these step to enjoy VPN in cm builds ..
1. Go to psiphon and choose Browser-Only mode don't tunnel whole device.
2. Go to its logs tab and check the port of http proxy.
3. Now open WiFi setting and long press to your WiFi network (from which u are connected) go to modify tab and from check the advanced options.
4. Chosen manual proxy option and put host name as 127.0.0.1 and port as the no. which you noted in step 2 (eg. 8080) and click save .

Enjoy you have set up a VPN connection successfully.
You can open your browser and check your IP 

Note: You have to undo this after you don't need VPN by changing manual proxy to none .


For those who want to use Orbot vpn
This is very similar to previous vpn workaround for psiphon
Just follow these step for Orbot 
1. Open Orbot and long press to start orbot.
2. When all bootstrapped done go to check browser it will ask for normal browser or install Orweb .
3. Open Orweb and volla you r connected to tor but actually its not to tunnel your traffic to vpn go to Orweb settings.
4. Now note the proxy host and proxy port generally it is localhost(same as 127.0.0.1) and 8118 respectively but it may change so better to keep updated with port numbers.
5. Now go to wifi setting and long press the wifi (from which u r connected) and check advanced options.
6. Choose manual proxy option and put the host name 127.0.0.1 and port no. (e.g. 8118 ) which u noted in step 4

Now u can check https://check.torproject.org from any browser and volla Congo this browser is configured to use tor.
Sorry for long guide but it is detail enough so that anyone can easily setup tor in cm builds.

Note: You have to undo manual proxy option to none after you don't use vpn.
