I saw a swap.img, on my sd card, on the root directory. Is it the swapping that reduces sd card's life? I installed supercharger v6 and i am on jellaxy 08/09/2012 release. Please can someone tell me thx
In the CM settings, uncheck swap..swap reduces SD Card life, but if you've class 6 or higher, the damage is less.

I have a few questions regarding lagfix + app2sd:
1. Do I have to have external SD card to use app2sd? Can I move apps to internal?
2. Everytime I try to send app 2 SD card (no external card attached) I get "Not enough space" error. Is it because I have Voodoo kernel with lagfix enabled?
3. How should I prepare external SD card to get maximum performance?
apps2sd is to move apps to the external sd card, otherwise they are saved to the internal sd card.
as for the lagfix, that shouldnt take up too much space, try to free some memory by deleting un used files / folders.
but in my opinion, moving apps to the external sd doesnt really increase speed nor does it save me mega amounts of memory, so you may just wanna leave it as it is.
I'm new to the Nook, I've had it for just over a week and have been running CM7 stable on the sd card from day one. I decided to install the newest nightly (168 I think) bc of increased battery life.
I followed the sd card boot instructions I found on this forum and elsewhere: drag and drop new nightly onto sd card, boot into recovery, but the update wouldn't take. Took the plunge to wipe the sd card, rewrote the size agnostic boot image, put on the new nightly, nothing. What finally worked was me increasing the size of the boot partition to a gig, and then the new nightly finally installed.
Alls good right? NOPE. Now for some reason I can't access ANY files I have on my emmc! I have all my books and videos stored there bc of the limited sd card space, but now I can't access them on the new nightly like I did on the stable version. I can see the emmc files in the file manager, but when I try to open books with aldiko it says "sd card not found" or "operation could not be completed. " in settings it says that the sd card is unmounted, but when I go to mount it, my notification bar says the "sd card is damaged" and that "you may have to reformat the sd card." It also seems the sd card is recognized as "internal memory" in the storage part of the setting menu.
Help! Should I drop down to the previous nightly? Reduce the size of the boot partition? Please treat wiping the sd card again as a last resort. Thanks in advance for your help.

My suggestion is getting a new uSD card.
What was your card capacity? 1GB?

Thanks for the response! This is really confusing me.
My sd card is an old 2 GB sandisk I took from an old berry I had.
But per my post above im not sure that the problem is with the sd card. It worked perfectly with cm7 stable. Im thinking maybe I messed up the installation process? Please help!

Also, the actual problem here is not accessing the sd card, it is accessing books on the emmc! For some reason cm7 wont let me open books from my internal memory bc of an sd card issue. Im confused.
Again, the sd card worked perfectly in cm7 stable. AND cm7 is booting fine from the SD card! Please help folks!

Hi
I don´t know why but since i changed my sd card from 32GB to 2GB and flashed a whole new system
ANTU TU show about 100 points less than before and it´s not testing sd card read/write speed.
So i flashed all new cause i thought there was something wrong with some files cause of a incorrect installation.
But ANTUTU still shows the same results...
no memory card read/write testings.
What´s wrong?
You need a good amount of free space on it.
I'm not sure about the exact value, but it's somewhere between 100MB and 300MB.
you were right.
After i deleted some data on sd card everything works fine

Hi.
Same problem. But I have free space 450MB on internal, and 27GB on external SD card...
Antutu SD card test started not to work when I had 8GB Class 4 card. But on that card free spase was enough too (~4GB). Now I use 32GB Class 10 card, but antutu test ignores sd cards. It does not matter which sd card I set in antutu settings - benchmark test skips sd card read-write tests...
Thanks.
is it true that partitioning sd card results in its damage
if yes how can i prevent it and is there a way by which i can still partition my sd card and prevent any damage to it

Yes, this is due to increased cycle read/write to that your card suffer...
If you use a partition of your sdcard as internal memory, the damage will be less than if you use it as a swap partition, because your swap partition will be used as something like "ram" memory, but of course IT IS NOT AS FAST AS RAM MEMORY! so what is better a small increase in performance or a sdcard 100% serviciable and durable¿?
YOU CHOOSE!
It does reduce the life of your SD card.
If you think the increased memory is worth it, go for it.

Wanna discover some awesome new apps? Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322687
I obviously have space aplenty (otherwise I would not have posted): more than 1.5 GB phone memory, almost 4GB internal SD, 8GB external SD.
I was ok with stock 2.3.6, now with CM7.2 (2.3.7) I'm getting those warnings having restored the backup of roughly 1/3 of the apps I had before!
What's going on here?
Thx in advance.
Edit: /datadata partition was full (guess a backported funcionality from ICS?), solved with this script:

Why 4.0.4?
Why are you on 4.0.4? There are more ROMs out there with better performance. Try OmniROM 4.4.2. And yeah, You did move your apps to your SD card right? If your SD card is full, you will have to buy a new SD card and start with that. But, The Internal SD Card is at higher priority over the External one. So, find another vold.fstab file for your phone, which helps change this priority.
Hit Thanks if it helped!
