looks like t-mobile have released the 2.1 source at last

[Guest Fusion0306]

Silly error made, O'well. Given the link to 2.1 now :lol:

It's not that silly when you remember that someone put huge amount of time to make an "official"guide, and than to see that people who should be using it, never do.

And we answer the same questions over and over again.

So please, be polite and read the guide.

Thank you!

Silly as in, he tried using the Source code instead of the 2.1 update, I know, im grateful for the guide, it's helped me out alot since i got my pulse.

He came looking in this thread, and i didnt think to point him to the Pulse owners guide.

I'll make sure next time, i'll point them to the guide.

Thankyou

Fibble: What swappiness value do you use?

[Guest ambrozija]

That's correct - since you have no swap partition, and it is NOT a2sd handling your swap.

Go to terminal emulator and use this command: free.

You'll see if it is turned on and used (or not :))

yes, i ran free and saw this: total:32760 used:236 free:32524. so it seems that it is multitasking and happily filling the swap file :lol: hooraayyy!

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against helping people :(

Number one tip for new people on this forum is reading that guide :lol:

And if there isn't an answer for them there, they should ask the question in the correct thread. Just sayin' :)

Froyo swappable boot.img (no ext3):

For 0.51, if Tom G releases something new, may not work.

thanks will try this out, anything i should setup or i just need to replace the old one with this boot?

[Guest gusthy]

Simply reflash with fastboot. No wipe or anything else required.

Note, that this one is the no-a2sd boot.img, doesn't contain fibblescan's modifications for A2SD.

[Guest flip360]

so it simply just enables swap on froyo without any of darktremoors a2sd?

You enable that with Swapper2, or from the command line:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile.swp bs=1024 count=32768 (or the size you want)

mkswap /sdcard/swapfile.swp

swapon /sdcard/swapfile.swp

[Guest Simon O]

If you want a Froyo kernel with swap support and ready for A2SD, you can download this: 2.6.29-froyo_a2sd.zip and flash through recovery. You'll also want A2SD if you don't have it installed already: dtapps2sd-2.7.5-final-std-signed.zip

各位高手好，

我现在有３个分区

ext3 swap fat32

开启swap后

手机的可用空间怎么减少了啊，　原来在40mb左右，现在只有2

mb了

谢谢

Everybody is good,

I now have three partitions

ROM flb1.2 is

Ext3 was fat32

After was open

How to reduce the mobile space available in the original around 40 MB, now only 20 MB

thank you

Move the dalvik-cache from the mobile to the SD. But only if your SD is Class 4 or more.

From terminal or ADB shell:

a2sd cachesd

Why ist Swap partition so important for you/us ?????

Flibble thanks for this works ok a2sd check shows swap starts :lol: wowowowow froyo a2sd and swap !!!!

[Guest Tom G]

You enable that with Swapper2, or from the command line:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile.swp bs=1024 count=32768 (or the size you want)

mkswap /sdcard/swapfile.swp

swapon /sdcard/swapfile.swp

To make that a bit simpler you could do

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile.swp bs=1M count=32 (or the size you want)

The same result, its just easier to get the size you want.

我恢复出厂设置后

开机有50.03mb

adb shell a2sd cachesd后有77.62mb

不过，开启sawp后，速度好像没有什么变化

C:\sdk\tools>adb shell free

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 107388 105712 1676 0 868

Swap: 62904 14940 47964

Total: 170292 120652 49640

谢谢你

I recover after setting out

Boot is 50.03 MB

The adb shell cachesd 77.62 MB a2sd after

However, after sawp open, if nothing changes speed

C:\sdk\tools>adb shell free

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 107388 105712 1676 0 868

Swap: 62904 14940 47964

Read back this thread, You'll see...

[Guest jakemk2]

Just to say thank you again to all those who have helped turn my Pulse into a decent phone. First of all with FLB and now with this - the swap has made it feel much snappier and we are only about one day in from getting the source, I can't wait to see what else is around the corner.

OT but I get grep /init.rc: permission denied at the top of the output from a2sd check, should I be worried? I also can't seem to get the cachesd to work, I do it, it reboots but still reports that the cache is on the internal memory. Apps are running from the SD card great though. Sorry, well OT I know.

Cheers again.

[Edit] Duh. Have to be root which means a 'su' before running the command. Have done this and now everything is fine. Numpty.

[Guest Rumcájsz]

32 would be best. Anything more is overkill and can actually make the phone slower.

You Right!

First, I made a 64 MB swap partition and phone will be slow. Then I resize it (in gParted) and evrithing will be fine.

Thanks!

[Guest rulerofkaos]

It's working great with swap on FLB 1.5, thanks Flib. I can open googlemail, browser, game, etc. and everything stays in RAM and the launcher doesn't close.
