I have just updated my Himalaya to WM5. With wm2k5_1.60c.64wwe.
Here the state of my memory.
Does something seem to you abnormal?
Is my system optimised?
Is it possible to merge Storage memory with Storage? (Storage is my ramdisk)

after upgraded my xda II to wm5
i realised that my memory storage on the ppc are low.
The total of my momory storage only 14.54.
and i dun know why suddenly comes out a RAM DISK32. it's storage is 30.82mb.
i can't install others software due to the low memory storage.
anyone can help me? can i merge the RAM DISK 32 to my main memory storage?
Which ROM upgrade version you are using?
I read through the forums and I checked that the internal and external storage can be swapped in order to install more applications. On the other hand a swap partition can be made on the SD-card in order to use it as RAM. My question is can I use them at the same time? I mean if after getting external and internal sd changed [MOD] ExtSd2InternalSd v3|Increase your data storage|CMW zip|CM10|100% Working|
which storage will be used in this method [MOD] How to make and use a swap partition on the SD-card (SGS3) ?? So simplify the question. Will the second script recognise that my external SD card is the internal storage and the swap partition is on the internal storage?
I'd like to have a better understanding of the full memory / software / firmware / etc. contents of my Galaxy Note. My understanding is as follows:
There's an internal and external SD card (the latter of which is the 16 GB MicroSD I installed). The contents of both of these are accessible to me when I connect the phone to my computer via the USB mass storage mode, in a fully readable / writeable fashion.
However, there's also some other memory - NAND or something of that nature - to which the firmware is flashed. This is not as easily accessible.
The android structures all of these memory areas into an internal file system, with various parts existing in different directories. /sdcard is the internal SD card, /sdcard/exernal_sd is the external SD card. Everything that is not within the /sdcard top-level directory exists somewhere in the NAND... or something.
----
So, assuming all of that is correct - then I have a few questions:
Where on the phone is everything that is NOT in the sdcard directory stored? Is there an additional memory chip in there? Is that what the NAND is?
On the Storage screen, it is broken down into there categories: Device Memory (1.97 GB Total space), USB Storage (10.84 GB) and SD card (14.83 GB). Is the NAND this 1.97 GB "Device Memory" section?
What about the custom firmware I installed - the ROM? Where is that located? Is it on the NAND?
What about the TWRP Recovery?
And what is a "bootloader"? Does it play into all of this?
It would be really helpful to have a clearer understanding of these general concepts.
The entire internal nand is 16gb.
The "rest of the stuff" is up a folder, in the root directory.
You need root access to access to the root directory funny enough.
The firmware is installed in the /system directory, so was the stock Rom, when you flashed you formatted and overwrote that partition.
Those are pretty much all I'm gonna answer, all of this very beginner and can be found In a plethora of places with little effort.
And please... don't call storage memory, they are different. Memory is ram.
One is it possible to use the internal storage as extended Virtual Ram, and is that what zRam is?
Second would it be faster to use the internal storage as virtual memory and the SD card as the directory for storage?
How many things are you trying to run?
I have a custom-made rooted MTK6575 based phone, and it has internal storage of just 127MB and an external SD Card of 8Gb.The Phone spec is 512MB
I want to swap these two and tried all the ways I found from the forum such as
a. Modifying the vold.fstab and vold.fstab.nand
b. Trying out External 2 Internal with Universal Init
Both did not work out.
Upon check the /mnt folder, I realised that there is only one sdcard folder. The internal memory of 127MB seems to be shared with the 512MB and there is no mounting script that I can find.
The only effect I have gotten is from modifying the vold.fstab.nand file. If I change the sdcard to sdcard2, my sdcard will not be seen under storage and only the 127Mb internal storage will be seen.
Anyone can help ? :crying:
