Hello, guys!
Basicaly I want to improve my RAM memory by using Swap, but I don't know a thing about swapping...
I have a kingston 4Gb (class 4).
Can someone give me the link of a tutorial or semething like that? I searched and didn't find a specific tutorial for this.
Thank you in advance.
NOTE: I'm using GingerDX with Alfs v08a.

And if yes, how much RAM can I add with a 4Gb sd card?

Hum that was what I was talking about...
Just one thing: how do I make a linux swap partition? And how much memory should it have?
U can make swap partition using mini tool partitioner or in cwm in advenced menu! Just make backup before coz your SD will be formatted! 128mb will bee enough
Edit: backup SD! System is optional!

Or you can make ext4 partition.. after you choose ext partition cwm will ask you about Linux swap!

hello guy
i want to ask u all
how can i partition my sd card using cwm?
i can see advanced > partition sd card
if can, can u show how to do it and what to do after done this step?
is it safe?
i want to do it via minitool partition but i do not have sd card reader
i'm using ketut blackhawk dxkt7 rom
You can partition the sd card using CWM recovery.
Be sure to backup your data as in the partition the sd card is formatted.
After selecting partition sd card the first thing you will see is the option to select the size of the partition that you want to make (generally select 1024=1gb).
Next will be the swap size. This is optional.
After selecting these options your sd card will be formatted with a 1gb ext partition.
Hope this helps.

No. Install S2E and your life will be a whole lot easier.

I use CWM partitioning in conjunction with DTA2SD and it's awesome

I'm with SuperAce609 here. Look into my signature and find the link in which I've thanked him. After partitioning your SD card, the only thing you have to do is install S2E and reboot your SGA after you install any CM7 based Custom ROM. & boom! No matter if you install 100+ apps, you will never be out of internal memory.
use the search option.
Hello i am newbi in this amazing world of android and i have A question were i can found the cwm recovery link becasu i looking fir that here and i can't found it thanks

Ok, this is my LG Optimus 3D system:
System ROM:1GB
Internal ROM: 1GB
Internal SD Card: 6GB
Ext SD Card: 32GB
I always facing "out of internal memory" problem. So, if I ever partition my SD Card vi CWM, what will change? Which part can be greater in size?

Can't. CWM makes ext3 partition, period.
You'd have to modify cwm to get it to partition in ext4 format.
I found this "4EXTRecovery" interesting for making ext4, just to make sure if anyone use and confirmed it work.

Thanks.
According to my experience.. cwm 5.0.2.6 for galaxy ace makes an ext2 partition.. It doesn't give any other ext option.. I don't know how is it possible to make ext3/4 partition using cwm..
By the way, what's the latest cwm version for galaxy ace ??

To avoid so much trouble just use a swap file.

im a bit confused about this...reformat the sd card 1st or do the steps of partitioning sd card? after partitioning sd card then reformat sd card again?
Do it from CWM recovery. It will format the card and partition it for app2sd and for swap. Just specify what sizes you want. Remember to backup your SD card.

It uses a swap file, not partition, hence there is no need for formatting or repartitioning .

True but its a hassle to just sit there waiting for the swap file to get created, especially if you want large sizes like 256Mb. Its also slower compared to a partition.

It doesn't take that long, and anyway since swap is already so slow the speed difference between partition and file is not much. Plus it is less hassle to create swap file, than repartitioning.

would partion sd card increase the phone memory ???
With script, yes. But if your sd card is low class, you'll have a bad time with that. Sd-ext partition will randomly break for no particular reason and you'll have to restore it regularly.
Any script ??

search S2E or link2sd
partitioning sdcard will not increase internal memory
but you can add additional memory to your phone with the help of scripts after partitioning
like using pen drive with hard disk

You can create as many partitions as you want as long as there's enough space, but that would be useless.
Two are enough.

You could mount multiple partitions, but again, I don't see its usefulness.
Partitions
I created 2 partitions using an 8GB sd card. The firt partition was 4GB and the second partition mainly for apps was 2GB.
I'm new here in Nexus One and i was wondering how do you guys partition sd card? I quite dont understand the steps, can someone help me i want to use JB roms but dont have the space for apps, um using an 8gb class10 card and amonRA recovery

The most recommended partition table is:
First partition: FAT32
Second partition: EXT2 or EXT4 without journaling (usually 500 MB should be enough)
Third partition could be for swap, but I think nobody is using in our phones (we have enough memory and zRam helps a bit more).

View this video clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3jX3ARSOi4 for steps to format and partition a SD card using Amon RA recovery. BEFORE YOU FORMAT YOUR SD CARD, YOU NEED TO BACK UP THE CONTENTS TO YOUR PC FIRST BECAUSE EVERYTHING WILL BE WIPED OFF!!! You only need 1GB for your sd-ext partition and no swap. Once you have partitioned the SD card you need to upgrade the ext2 to ext3 then ext3 to ext4.
or install 4ext recovery. using that you can easily partition ur sd. thats the easiest way i guess

Yea. Totally agree with n1newbie. 4EXT Touch is the best recovery out there. I tried partitioning before using CWM, and it was a mess. 4EXT is way more reliable.
