Guest styjp Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Maybe this is a silly question but is there a way to create a swap file in the system partition within the phones own memory and use it as swap instead of using an SD card?

I've got it enabled already. What I am looking for is using a swap file like the ones created using swapper stored in the system partition . Thnx!

Thnx! not comp cache, real swap on the cache partition of the internal memory see this link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest styjp Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 not comp cache, real swap on the cache partition of the internal memory see this link I see.. Is this enabled by default? because i see some cached and swap cached in set cpu memory status. Im a bit of a rookie, im sorry! Whats the best way to maximize the performance of the cache partition? Im using A1 with only 256mb of ram as you can imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using A1 with only 256mb of ram as you can imagine i don't think its enabled by default, and i don't know if it should be there in set cpu memory status, its always there for me because i have a swap partition on the sd card, and i use swap to increase the ram performance, i have the same phone too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zorginho Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) I've an idea: on the Phoenix's miui there's the swap enabled by default on /cache partition, maybe u can copy the init.d file and /cache file and paste to ur rom to have swap enabled in internal mem.

Guest Auxx Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Do not make swap in /cache - you won't be able to download apps from Market. I had swap on /data, since I'm using A2SD. Here 's the info - Swap sux, it makes everything ultimately slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zorginho Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) to do a permanent swap on /data do that steps (u need a working adb): download the file 11romzswap and unzip it open a shell and insert that commands: adb remount adb push 11romzswap /system/etc/init.d/11romzswap adb shell chmod 0777 /system/etc/init.d/11romzswap mount -o remount,rw /data dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swap.img bs=1024 count=32768 exit i've configured in file 11romzswap a swap of 32M with swappiness 10 enjoy11romzswap.zip Edited October 20, 2011 by zorginho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
