works on linux desktop may also work on android:


cat /proc/swaps: (should readout)
/dev/block/zram0                 52M (as kb readout most likely)

if it shows a different slice path (/dev/zram0 for example) use swapon /that/mapping/path
  
also try swapon -p 100 -v -a /dev/block/zram0  as this adds the following flags to  activate ALL visible swaps and add a verbose function to create readout that may help in debuging issue

just now i found that we have zram0 in /dev/block/zram0
i tried the command you told,

root@kleoslte:/ # swapon -p 100 /dev/block/zram0
swapon -p 100 /dev/block/zram0
swapon failed for /dev/block/zram0

is there anything else that i can try?

Yes, zram is activated, otherwise you wouldn't have had zram0 created.

Though you might not be using it...
If you want to use it for swap, you'll have to run `swapon -p 100 /dev/zram0`.
Well, '-p 100' isn't necessary, it's just to set the swap priority.

This should have set the size of zram0.

Cheers,
