[Q] swaping

I'm using LinuxDx v.004 and app swapper configureation.
i've configured to use 128 mb for swapping, but in benchmark it shows a diffrent not that big, how come?
do i need to swap more?or a faster sd card??

Swap is not for performance upgrading. It's for running apps that has high memory usage. If you have swap, you can run games like PvZ and DeadSpace without any problem.

[Q]ICS /datadata memory

Is it possible to increase the memory of /datadata (apps that are saved to phone memory) coz i cant install much applications. Especially when they cant be moved to SD card(usb storage) like facebook app, adobe flash player, paladog, gt racing, etc.
Even an app is saved to usb storage, somehow there's still some amount of memory stored in phone memory (/datadata).
Gingerbread can install much, you can even move apps to phone memory upto 1.9gb+-. To save some memory on usb storage.
Is there any way? Coz i like being on ics than gingerbread. One main reason is there are a lot of tweaks in ics. And good lockscreen.
Thanks!

you cannot increase /datadata
but you can use a datafix..... everything you need to know is here
Widgetlocker is a good lockscreen

AFAIK, not without decreasing the performance. Now the /datadata is located in a fast NAND chip (IIRC correctly) which has 170 MB capacity. That's the one reason why Cyanogenmod etc. have better performance vs Samsung roms.
So increasing /datadata partitions capacity means that it needs to be moved back to slower, bigger capacity flashchip. And that would be like in stock Samsung rom (BML layout).
You'll probably find more info by googling BML and MTD info about the SGS.
I hope i remembered everything correctly

Well thanks then. Still limited apps. If only all apps can be moved to usb storage lol.

[Q] upgrade/add/overclock ram

Hello guys all of you know that we have 512MB ram I want to know if i can add some to ram form sd card or by overclock it such as the computer's ram so how?? or it's possible (I am not believe any thing is impossible )
is this work? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImx2Lm4zby5zd2FwcGVyMiJd

It might be possible to use sd card memory as ram but it wouldnt be as fast as a real ram
Ram chips are aweful fast
I think though that for this processor it wouldn't be an inconvenience
Try it

Swapper

okay in face I used it before you tell me so can I stop it??!! and delete swap space (especially it will not get my phone faster)

You can remove the swap file from your sd card using a file browser like astro or something :thumbup:

I'm using swap in my old gt540 for about 1,5 year and card works fine. I don't feel like I need swap in OB for now

My problem is in games if ihave 180 free ram or less the games lags so i want to get more ram so No ideas????

did anyone tried swapper? it's a good idea, i think. i'm gonna try it but i dont want my sd card to brake :s

Swap file possible?

I used roehsoft ram expander on my old wildfire buzz to create a swap file on my sd card to increase the ram memory and it worked pretty well.
Is it possible to use this with the same mini? I ran a test using an app from play store, screen shot below. It may not be accurate. It says the kernel isn't compatible.

The reason for this may be because willy had a custom kernel and our device hasn't got a custom kernel, I came from wildfire aswell.

Well maybe you're right although I tried to run ram expander and it says error no sd card. I set the correct location and it refuses to detect it.

Do you realy need more ram?? 1gb is not enough?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium

While the system + running apps is using around 400 - 600 mb sometimes more, I don't want to have to clean up every time I watch a high quality video via my tv or play a heavy game. Some games optimally uses about 500mb, etc. No 1gb isn't enough xd.
Yes I can use su boost via console and it isn't hard, but if I could have more ram wouldn't that be optimal? Who doesn't want more? Why not just stick with a old handset if 1gb is all you'll ever need. I bet a year from now you'll want more when 1gb is relatively small

Yes you are right.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium

So I guess the question is, what would need to be modified in the kernel to allow creation of the swap file in the SD? Things like this is making me interested in learning android development

Then maybe you should've gone with Note II or a new PC. S3 Mini is not for gaming.

[Q] increasing RAM on Optimus 2X

My mobile is getting slow and when I checked the RAM, it is showing that it has 342MB RAM and usually it is 50MB free and by using RAM Booster, I was able to increase the free RAM. But, is there any way I can increase RAM of the mobile, as my mobile is getting very slow and sometime, I have to restart my system, and even power button doesn't work and i have to take out the battery and put it back...

In android free ram is wasted ram theory....so if things work normal...it's ok
But if the problem is getting slower and no response...then best is use greenify app and make the apps to hibernate....
It works to some extent....But then it is better to use min free manager too
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

it also depends on what rom are you using, it has effect on ram usage. for example I'm using tonyp's cm10.1 and everything works well. I never check free ram as I don't have to, every app starts quickly and work smooth, even though a reboot a day is needed, but it worth it as I'm using this for more than a month now, without any flashings.

A little tip that works for me on v20l is to go to Settings, Display, Display Font & choose any Font as it will ask you to restart your fone. This way, you don't have to keep doing a battery pull lol. Not to sure what rom your using but on stock 2.3.4 - you don't get the option of a reset.

On the ICS/JB selection of the fonts from the settings does not requires the restart...it takes 2seconds after selection.
So, this is not true for ICS. Applicable for GB only(maybe Froyo too)

There is a way "to increase ram". It's called swap. A program could create a swap file on your android system. Not needed files which are "on" the ram will be copied to the swap file and deleted from the ram.
Maybe this app works for you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.swapper2
You should notice that a higher "swappiness" means, that the chance is higher for the data to be copied to the swap file. As you can see, it is something like a virtual ram expansion.
