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.

I just noticed (and saw on wiki) that our ace has 384MB RAM and 512MB "ROM"
i put togetzer the numbers i had: system + data + cache = always around 400MB. What is the rest used for? i mean 100MB are 100MB if you know what i mean.
same with RAM. is it used by some kind of ramdisk or what is it used for? cuz we just have ~276MB. Also more than 100MB going "nowhere"
I read somewhere that some ram is used for GPU. true?
Thanks in advance and wish a nice sunday

Ace has 512MB ram..almost a half of it is used up by the system

There's system, data, cache, boot, binaries, a lot of partitions (including efs), the device's hardware controllers, etc. That's where 512 MB run off to.

*384 MB
Ace have 330MB RAM - when the kernel boots they is an info about it in dmesg, but only ~280MB is alivbe for the user, other is reversed for the GPU (mostly), audio processing and etc.

Memory of ACE
In my opinion you don't be worrie with the Mb Ram it's appear or not. be worrie with ROM,
The ROM is like an HD, and like you now the system android it's based on Linux, so like every system linux you have on less 3 partitions, and 1 of them have a type Swapp. and if this partition be small if the Ace don't have Mb Ram, he go to the partition Swapp use the Mb that's in fault.
So see the differences.
Ram 330+ Rom 512 or
Ram 330 + Rom (1st partition 250+ 2nd partition 150 + Swap 100)
Ram 330 + Rom (1st partition 350+ 2nd partition 150 + Swap 12)
and don't forget you have the micro SD with memory extra.
in my point of view this option is the best Ram 330 + Rom (1st partition 250+ 2nd partition 150 + Swap 100) because you have more memory to complement at RAM.

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
#swappiness is actually telling you how active is your swap partition

:| nAa 14 + any gingerbread or ics or even jelly bean rom (you only need 128 swap which needs a custom kernel )

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)

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.

Hello everybody
I have a big problem with C5502 Xperia ZR Storage after upgrade to lollipop Stock Rom
now i have unlock my bootloader
when i try to download my device CM Rom via this link
download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=dogo
i was check the Device Wiki and i have found that is C5503 dogo
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Dogo_Info
the 1st question is : can i install the C5503 for My C5502 ??
the 2nd question is : if i can install it that is mean i will have more space after install CM ?
Thanks for every XDA-Developers Members
You can install it. Not sure about the available space, but the size of /data remains as 4.59 GB (for 8 GB version); since CM doesn't have any pre-installed user apps, more of would be available to you on a fresh install.

Thanks for reply me
the FTF Stock is 1.1 GB
The Whole CM maybe 500 MB Max
i think it will effect the 4.59 GB
can any one tell me about this ?
No, that only takes up space in the /system partition, does not affect user accessible internal storage at all. It's only relevant if you plan on installing a lot of apps as system apps (not advised) and/or flashing a lot of mods (like PureAudio or Social Camera and things like that). It also affects the size of your nandroid backups, if that's important to you.
