hey friends... There is a memor card with 90mb/s write speed(sandisk extreme pro16gb). I think this speed is enough for usig sd as ram. Hey devs beg you try to swap upto 2gb
Is that even possible for our mobiles ???

This swaps only the mountpoints from sdcards
he wants a linux swap partition which is handled by the phone as ram. More like a outlay of ram!

Hey guys hope someone have experienced it but i want to know what would be the best storage location for apps? Would the phone run faster if they are in phones memory? Or the sdcard?
Is there any differece about it??
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
It depends on your sd card class a. Class 10 would be faster than internal memory
Thanks for reply.! I currently have 8gb class 4 what would u think? Keep apps on internal memory or on sdcard?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Class 4 is enough for smooth running from sd card,but faster is better!

mine's 8gb class 4 too and it seems fine for me,well apps which has widgets etc shud be installed on internel memory,other apps and games to sd card,install app2sd,it will notify automatically whether the app can be moved to sdcard or shud be left on internal memory

With class 4 there is always problems with your phone recognizing the SD card. Class 4 will work on stock but most of the time it wont work on a custom kernel. I always suggest people to get a class 10. Search the internet you will get it for cheap
Stuff that you have running the whole time you need keep them in memory. With games i suggest putting them on an external SD card. Even if its a slow SD card you save space with your internal memory.
Thanks for the reply guys hey have someone ever tried partitioning the sdcard, and would the phone read the 2 partitions as external storage? Might be a noobi question
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
With app2sd app u create 2 partition,one for storage and one for app2sd.U see one partition(for storage),other is "invisible" because it is for moving apps to sd card.

I have a class 4 16 gb. Its is ok for running games and other stuff. For important stuff, like things that need SU and things you use daily, it is best to keep it in phone memory.

Use ext2 for the second partition. And use app2sd script to make it work =D

Hi , I have a noob question.
Swap is kinda virtual memory. So why don't people swap up to 1GB or 2GB ?
Is it not possible ? If not , why ? Does it make the system unstable ?
More RAM equates to better performance (Though SD Card life shortens)
So why wouldn't people swap more ?

The S3-Evolution-Beta-3-Ultimate needs Ext3 or Ext4 partition on SDcard, but how much space do I need to create on a 2GB SD Card and what's the difference between Ext3 and Ext4.
Thanks to maxx35000 for creating this ROM :good:

Thanks, I did this and when I connect it to a computer the memory card does not come up.
Which partition- and swapsize would you recommend me? I don't want answers like "It is your choise" because I just want to know which is the best size. I'm using a 8GB sdcard. Thanks for every answer!

I think partition size 512 mb nd swap size 0mb because swap decreases the card life.... I have a exprience for it.....

ok, thanks for your answer. I try to help you.
And a stupid question: what is swap?
I also have an 8GB micro SD card, and I have ~7GB FAT32, 1GB ext4, and 128MB swap.
Swap is cache memory, it's used to enlarge the RAM virtually.
Don't say you're stupid, if you say, it's REALLY stupid.
Don't be a noob, be a newbie !

Alright.
Is the FAT32 that what you see in my files app?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
I too have a 8gb card.512mb partitioned as ext3 and 32mb Swap.Everything is smooth.Try this config..
GT S5830i-Rocking on Broadcoms gpu...
I have an SDcard of 32GB divided in 3 partitions:
1) fat32 26,6 GB
2) ext3 1,5 GB
3) swap 256 MB
The swap partition is not activated permanently because it can decrease the lifetime of your sdcard.
The Rafael Baugis kernel has already 72 zram. This is a special kind of swap that is not written to disk but compressed in ram memory, so it should be much faster than disk swap.

Yes, and if you've installed Link2SD and set your 2nd partition to Ext4 (in the Link2SD startup settings) (or you create a mount script at yourself), and you have Root Explorer (or another root file manager), go to /data/sdext2/, then you can see the files of the second partition (I don't know if the sdext2 can be difderent, I thought NOT).

i am using thelastmyth rom for galaxy ace and in this rom the internal memory and sd ext partition memory are combined together. does any body knows how to make this happen? is there a particular script for this?
Internal memory & SD ext are never combined. They are different. You can try int2ext+ to do this. But don't use it in the lastmyth. It is already included.
