[Q] Ram Expander app for I9001 and I9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Anyone aware of an application called "Ram Expander".
It virtually increases the Ram size of our devices by virtually creating a space on the SD Card and using it as a Ram, hence increasing the overall speed and performance of the phone.
Please find the link below :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de&feature=search_result
Before installing this app it is advised to install this one first :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo&feature=search_result
This one tells weather your phone and kernel supports this operation.
My question is I have rooted my I9001 and i am using CM9 ICS 4.0.4 and 2.6.35 Kernel by CastagnalT and it says that the kernel is not supporting so does anyone have have any idea which kernel supports this function?
Thanks.

How can i speed up my galaxy s GT-i9000

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thank you
John
install a custom rom,
if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,
if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7
or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms,
MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX ) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink
if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button
Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.
I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.
The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.
The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.

Try ThunderBolt! in my sig. Be sure to read the requirements and meet them before flashing
Stock jvt
or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.
talon or semaphore as kernel.
And thunderbolt tweaks.

delete unnecessary apps
root and delete unneccesary apps.
Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.
my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.
For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

Root and install a Cooked rom, anyone will do better than the stock one.
And forget Quadrant, it's rubbish.
+1 on Pikachu01 Thunderbolt script. Running very much smoother on my SGS.
Mitra Rom is faster then other and use lagfix
small tip

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.
Good luck!
try miui mintberry
My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.
If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

MIUI mint berry and via rom toolbox clocked into 1,3ghz
I´m on JVZ with Semaphore 2.1.1 and overclocked CPU (1300 mhz). This motor is fast, stable and smooth.
Hey!
2.3.6 is very good!
you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels.

Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.
In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.
And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.
But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.
In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

Wrong thread. Also there is tonnes of information a single google search away on how to root your phone. One way is to download Odin and then flash a rooted kernal such as CF-Root onto the phone from Download mode.

[Q] Queries on CM9

I started using CM9 and so far it looks good & stable . I have a few questions :-
1) How to find csc and how to change ?
I am not able to find some app in playStore which were earlier available. I believe its due to csc change after CM9 installation. Please advise if there is any other reason.
2) How to increase the size of letter in the stock keyboard ? I could not find it in the settings.
3) Voodoo sound did not work but I got it working after installing semaphore kernel. SGS flash kernel app did not work so I could not back up my stock kernel. If I have to revert to the stock kernel then should I just flash CM9 without wiping data ?
Is there a way to make voodoo sound work with stock kernel ?
4) Flipping & Scrolling on the screen is not very smooth, any suggestions on this
5) Stock music app does not have a search option (samsung's stock music app has a search which was very useful ) . Any other app from market which can provide this feature ?
Another issue : it started giving me low memory error even though the system showed a lot of free ram & internal memory. I had to move back to stock JW4.
I will appreciate if some one can help on the above questions/issues, that will help me in trying ICS ROM again.
Thanks in advance !

And maby add a swap partition but it could kill your SD
Hi there,
I'm new to xda-developers but not completely new to android. I have also created my own ROM, which is pretty amazing trust me, but apparently I am not allowed to share it with others unless I get quite a lot of thanks and stuff so if this helps you please press the thank button.
OK, here we go:
ROM => (CM7.2 vo-1) =>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360889&highlight=cyanogenmod+7+2+rc1+by+vo-1
the kernel on this ROM is perfect so you don't need to change the kernel.
Script => (Adrenaline™ Engine) =>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579710&highlight=adrenaline+engine
this script will do, you don't need to fill your phone with scripts and stuff ok
Note!! => CM7.2 (cyanogenmod 7.2) is obviously not in need of any app or script to control the CPU, to do so simply go to settings>cyanogenmod settings>performance>cpu and there you could do whatever you want. also cynogenmod is apparently asked by google to not include their apps in the rom so you will have to flash them your self to do so simply click on this link to download them >>>I'm a link<<< and then flash the zip through clockwork mod ...
Also you may decrease the force closes by making a swap partition on your sd since you have a 16gb one. this also helps to smooth out some games and you will be able to do more multi tasking. to do this reboot into clockwork mod... (note if you partition your sd you will loose all data so copy all the things you have there to your pc and another thing partitioning your sd could decrease the sd lifetime) then choose advance next choose partition sd card now it will ask you to set the size choose 256mb and 256mb again thats more than enough for me but its always up to you mate.
once you have done all that and everything is up and running download root explorer or any app that allows you to access root directory. since cyanogenmod comes with this ****ing ADWlauncher (no offence to the devs) you defiantly gonna have to change it. this holo launcher thingy is the best home launcher ever so here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636478 download the latest stable version. now use your root file manager to move the apk file to this location /system/app then change the permissions to rw-r--r-- ok? now delete Adwlauncher.apk and adwlauncher.odex go it ? note!! install another launcher like launcher pro before you do just in case anything goes wrong. reboot now. cool.
there are many things you could do mate but I don't even know if you will use or read all of that so this is it for now if you run into any problem or want more stuff and tweaks let me know ill be more than happy to help
and good luck
hmm, i'm using team 16 gb class 10 and a2sd.. my config is 2gb for sd-ext and 100mb for swap with swappines 60%..
my rom is lewa without any script, i don't like placebo script..
best kernel for battery : firekernel
everything runs great for me

Swap Memory support for Cm 7 (Cooper)

I have samsung galaxy ace S5830 running on Cm 7 ( 20130301 )Nightly build ...i mst say this rom is really awesome all features/apps working,only thing missing is Swap memeory support
Using Link2sd i have created swap partition by refering guide on how to create swap partiton on xda also i use a 8gb class 10 sd card, but when i try to run Swapper 2 it gives fail message also tried Ram expander it says ur kernel is not supported for swap
Had already tried Cm 10.1,though it supported swap but it really has big battery life problem not suitable for daily use.
So i want to use swap in my current rom ,can anyone plzz tell me how to activate Swap in this Rom.
Try the PSN modded firekernel it has swap support..
If you install the new kernel and the swap partition isn't mounted automatically, install Swapper 2 from Google Play. However, you need a kernel with swap support. So try the one already mentioned.

Hi! I want the same thing on my note but i can't find any kernel...none helps us! Anyway,did u manage to dualboot your rom official jb from Samsung with other rom?
Guys do nothing!! I would suggest you to use Hydracore Nirvana Kernel, it may have the support for Ram Expander!!!
How about using Custom Kernels? Like Hydracore or COH? It's a good kernel :good:
Hi guys,
Any news on this? I also have 4.1.2 and would like to use Ram Expander. Which Rom/Kernel works with it?
Thanks
Swap support requires tweaking in the kernel irrespective of what rom you are using..
COH kernel has swap support and i have personally used it along with ram expander.

Hi,
Thank you for your input.
1) Have you noticed any improvement by using ram expander on the note?
2) How can we be sure that ram expander really increases the ram by using the swap file? How do we test this?
3) Is it possible to install only your kernel with keeping my existing Rom? Just flashing that Kernel is possible?
Thanks for claryfing

#free in terminal emulator or open adb shell
this command will tell you if swap is active.. if the swap value is 0 then its not active.
Thank you for that.
What about Question 1 and 3 ?
3. It depends on the rom you are using. COH kernel is for touchwiz jb roms. If you are running same then you can change the kernel and try.
1. I have never felt the phone so slow to use ram expander. Although I hardly was on touchwiz.
