Bye,
I also have ROOT would you have the patience and the will to explain to me step by step what I have to do? Thank you.
I think I magically found the source of my battery drain problem and its fix. I curious because the device is hot and even the UI cannot run in 120Hz. This is a typical symptom of a swap in action. So I check my Memory Extension config and indeed it was Off. BUT, opening Termux and executing `free` shows that 8GB is allocated AND used. Thankfully I have root, so I simply `cat /proc/swaps` to see the allocated swap file, then `swapoff <that swap file>`. Animation smoothness instantly returns and the heat goes away. Been 4 hours and the battery drain is not crazy anymore. Feel free to try on your device.
I tried to do this, following the steps the way you explained...
In the attached screenshot is the result I get when I run 'cat/proc/swap'.
I am not experienced in running commands on Termux but I really want to improve my battery life because right now, it sucks.
I will really appreciate your response and assistance
