[Q] need Help in resizing system partition & some help

I need to know how to increase system partition size of OG droid. Ineed this as I have compleated sucessful port of ICS to Droid having the only issue system size which is less than 200 KB
Second Thing The ram size is it 256 or 226 my port shows only 225 MB :silly: . Need Reply asap :fingers-crossed:

I'm not sure if it is possible, but if it is, than kfazz (developer of the JB for Droid) maybe could help you.
I believe it is because the kernel reserves some ram for the hardware components. So the device has 256MB, but Android can only use 226 or so.

Fine I Tried to port ICS to OG droid Its working smooth fast & bug free

MiniCM10 questions

Hi guys, I've just installed miniCM 4.0.2 on my friend's x8: this is great, you've made this old 2.2 crap run like hell! I really want to thank all devs for this great job. And I have 4 questions:
- In future releases will kernel be updated via MiniCM Updater or there'll always need to flash tft via flastool?
- Is there a way to flash new kernels with cwm and/or without a PC/mac?
- Reboot issues on 4.0.2 stable can depend on kernel?
- Are these just ram/too many bkgrd procs issues that I can solve using a mount partition?

Kernels cant be flashed via our phone presently...(it might be possible in the future)

Also for other doubts you can post them in the minicm q&a thread or have a chat with them on irc.
I dint use minicm10 so cant help you presently...

Thanks I'll post there for minicm specific.
For now I'll stick with flash tool... Hope to see an integrated solution soon.

If you want a fast, stable, NO LAGS and NO reboots...
Do what I did.
I tested minicm for a month now.
Best solution for me is:
1. SWAP 128mb with swappiness 60
2. KSM on
3.Purging assets on
4. Zram off (zram for some reason, lags and crashes my system)
5. Limit backround processes to 4
6. Force 2d rendering on
7.Disable HW overlays on
8. OC to 748 mhz with smartass 2
9. surface improvement ONLY color banding (without blur effect)
10. 16 bit transaprency
11. Entropy seeder
12. A2SD with dalvik cache on sd
13. Sd cache --> 512 kbs
My antutu score is 3911
Best so far...

Hello, on MiniCM10 (nightly - 31.12.2012) I have got 3924 points with similar configuration with some differences:
- 256 MB swap partition (swappiness 60);
- OC 768 MHz with Smartass v2 and undervolted;
- SD cache default (not changed).
Like above, no lags and reboots. Very fast.

how change swap size? And sd?

Better to use swap partition (create via pc "minitool partition home edition")
-swap partition is faster than swap file(a little bit)
-swappiness above 40~60 can decrease sdcard life.
-if u use swap so disable compcache in cyanogen settings(speeds up & make phone responsible.
-overclock more than 729mhz can harm our chipset

Yes percentage
For kernel Swappiness 100 means : no difference between ram & swap partition , so whole system will slow down
For kernel Swappiness 0 means : swap partition should not be used at all!
#higher swappiness means more active swap( effects SD life)
#app swapper2 is a good option to controll swap!

Where do I set all these settings?
Is it all under performance section? Can't find all of them there.
Thanks for info anyway I'll try it out for shure.
Btw: is it a class 6 microSD enough? Tested with ubuntu is 5.7 mb/s writing and 19.8 mb/s reading

razgoth said:
Numbers 5,6 and 7 are in the Developers Settings or something called like that (in the System Settings). 5 and 7 you have to check after every reboot.
Number 13 You can use via third party apps (for example SD Speed Increase).
Number 11 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009217.
Swap and a2sd are native functions of ROM/kernel (numbers 1 and 12).
MicroSD class 6 is absolutely minimum for Swap, but it should works.

1. SWAP 128mb with swappiness 60
--- I had a 256 Mb swap partition but I haven't set any swappiness (where to set it BTW?)
2. KSM on
-- ok
3.Purging assets on
-- ok
4. Zram off (zram for some reason, lags and crashes my system)
-- ok
5. Limit backround processes to 4
-- left it default 'cause it's annoying to check every reboot
6. Force 2d rendering on
-- ok
7.Disable HW overlays on
-- left it off 'cause it's annoying to check every reboot
8. OC to 748 mhz with smartass 2
-- OC and UV just freeze my phone and forced reboots, so I left values to default.
9. surface improvement ONLY color banding (without blur effect)
-- ok
10. 16 bit transaprency
-- ok (default)
11. Entropy seeder
-- used this (new installation method) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36235699&postcount=462 and this was a real treat: this is by far the best improvement in performance ever (OC is nothing compared to this)
12. A2SD with dalvik cache on sd
-- dc2sd is working ok
13. Sd cache --> 512 kbs
-- the app permitted a minimum of 1024 as 1st step so I went for it and set on boot: ok
thanks for suggestions razgoth... especially entropy seeder (great)
can you tell me just one thing more: where to set swappiness?
I'll upgrade to a class10 sd asap, but for the moment is more than ok (coming from 2.1 stock **** now seems flying)

[Q]how to setting ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER (SWAP) ??

I play high end games like fifa12 or realracing2 on x8 & I never needed 3GBs for swap!!!!!!
128mb is enough man
Swappiness depends to your usage (60 is android's default value ,higher is not recommanded by me it just slows down{our RAM memory's speed is 500mbs comparing to sdcard it might be 100X faster so using higher swappiness slows down alot }
For gaming swappiness 40-60 is good when just wanna multi tasking a value between 10-40 is good & enough

Yup, I personally prefer swapper2 -no need to create swap every time u wanna use it(but should do a trick for this)

if you're running JB platforms, i recommend you to apply 256MB of swap partitions,,
then use class10 SDcard instead (set the swappiness to 100)
it boost the performance :victory::angel:
thanks to all developers !!!

Any one wants a free roehRamexpander??

this how you set the roehsoft ram expander.
first press the menu button on your device
and select the "SWAPall! off" until you see the you're "VMEM" to zero .
Then set the swappiness to 60-30
now the MINfreekb to "1024kb"
set the drive cache to 4096-6017
activate the hyper mode
do not activate the bad kernels
and set the SWAP size to 100MB to 4GB if you want
you will see the great result!!!
i've tested this on samsung galaxy V
sony experia Z3
and cherry mobile topaz (local phone brand in PH)

Best way for increase memory in CM10

Hello,
If you know in cm10 xperia x8 have few space, can any one tell me which method is better for increase space?
An which rom 4.1+ i now better?
Thanks for reply!

Search for jb odex,it should provide some extra space.
Try using minicm10,or jellybean by davee,they are most developed roms.

Btw. odex won't work with any davee's rom or with based on it (so probably all roms from yari too). For me litecm10 is great, it's just lighter minicm10. It's usable but only if you are not going to listen to music from phone, 4.1+x8+music=lags everywhere. But if you want jb look and fast rom just wait some time for optimus nexus me v6 - I've seen screens on facebook and it will be very very jelly

The best way to increase free space:
- drop every sh!t from the rom
- odex it
- remove all languages from the rom
- check how many mb used in /system and compile the kernel with new partition sizes
You can gain 20-25 mb after removing the languages (go into the minicm10 faq thread, I wrote earlier how to do it), you also gain another 40-50 mb additional space after changing the gigantic latinime and trebuchet to any normal sized app and removed the trash (wallpapers, ringtones, etc...)
You lost some space on /system after odexing, but you win lot of space on /data.
You can shrink the /system partition size in the kernel config to make bigger /data partition (and remove the /recovery partition, this is useless, only 10 mb wasted space).
If you do these steps, you can get free space on /data partition up to 250 mb.

increase ram using SDcard????

As you know all the apps are getting bigger and bigger and Xperia so with it's poor memory of can't handle all of the apps.
Recently I have some bad time with the ram memory (see the attachment)
I read about an app called "ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP)" it's paid app that use partition from sdcard on ram and it needs a kernal that support swap.
Does anyone tried that app ??
Is there any chance of a hardbrick??
Device : C5303
ROM : Official CM13
Kernal: helium v24.
Thanks in advance

I don't recommend, this will brick your sd card more soon than natural time

No you won't get hardbricked but you'd be doing yourself a deservice as the act of using SWAP is CPU intensive and will degrade your SD Card to a large extent due to many r/w operations that are required.
