Guest Small_Hacker Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Which rom can support ram swap?
Guest gnufabio Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Which rom can support ram swap? The CM 6.1 or 7
Guest mik93250 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 does CM7 support ram swap with bcm4329 boot?
Guest xdxdxdxdxdx Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) for the time being，2.2 only support swap file(both offical and costume).BTW,when will the damn kernel sources release from the hell??? Edited January 30, 2011 by xdxdxdxdxdx
Guest Small_Hacker Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 for the time being，2.2 only support swap file(both offical and costume).BTW,when will the damn kernel sources release from the hell??? It means that 2.2 cannot use SD card as RAM? must use 3rd rom?
Guest gnufabio Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 for the time being，2.2 only support swap file(both offical and costume).BTW,when will the damn kernel sources release from the hell??? Soon, I hope. Damn ;) It means that 2.2 cannot use SD card as RAM? must use 3rd rom? Swap RAM is very very slow if your card's class is 6 or 8
Guest Delnar_Ersike Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Swap RAM is very very slow if your card's class is 6 or 8 Man, I hate it when people say that, because even if it is true, your device will be much slower without swap (class 6 and 8 are the faster SD cards BTW, class 2 is the slow one). Based on personal experiences, a Liquid A1 under 2.2 that has a swap file/partition on the SD card, even if that SD card is Class 2 (which is the slowest), runs applications faster and better than without a swap file/partition. There are probably a couple reasons why this is the case, but since I don't know too much about the workings of RAM in Linux systems, you're better off if I don't try to explain my findings. As for swap support, I know that Xian and roggin's CM6.1, as well as the WIP CM7 ROMs have swap support. I'm not sure about MIUI, but I've heard it also has swap support. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try using a different ROM (LCR, T&L) with one of these ROMs' boot.img's or, better yet, create a new boot.img that retains the old ROM's ramdisk but uses a kernel that has swap enabled.

Guest xdxdxdxdxdx Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 It means that 2.2 cannot use SD card as RAM? must use 3rd rom? no，they support swap file，not partition。

Guest xdxdxdxdxdx Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 and swap only is a exchange place.even if I/O speed as same as ram.it still is a exchange place.it could not take the place of ram.
Guest fear_factory84 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 for the time being，2.2 only support swap file(both offical and costume).BTW,when will the damn kernel sources release from the hell??? there is roggin kernel sources tree that it's based from phh kernel and based on acer 2.1 kernel with many fixes on top.. but nobody compiled it with ramzswap patches.. Also some features are missing and/or buggy in respect of acer 2.2 compiled kernel. ;) I regred that I had no time and mental resources to build my compile environment to try to build some kernels......................................................................... ....
