after using a2sd script not all the data go to sdcard, right? some still remain @ internal?
so whats the best gingerbread to run on the p500? are there many bugs or fc's or anything? should i just stick to 2.2(.x)
great place to ask... but will the questions be answered right away?
i thought at first, as the title implies...
right after clicking the link, i thought i will see steps and procedures and best bets for GB ports and ROMS... but somehow.. its not the idea...
i guess we should rename the title... GB discussions of some sort...
because this cant be the thread with a guide to install something....
just my 2 cents.

Currently I am using CM7 beta 1.1 from mik on my phone, but I wish to install andy's gingerbread version.
Do I need to wipe all data first? Or is there any way I can install both side by side?

Is anyone having problems getting their phone to mount after installing mik's CM7? I no longer get the prompt to turn on USB storage when I connect to my computer. It does make the little ding though for USB debugging.

Yes. Your choice of ROM has no effect on the SIM unlock. I have an Optimus T that I unlocked from T mobile and I have installed lots of different ROMS and it has remained unlocked.

Hello everyone, I'm having an "issue" with CM7. Someone made a wifi fix for Beta 1, and now Beta 2 has a fix itself and it's all fine except I have to give the terminal superuser permission in order for it to work.
I was wondering if there's a way for it to automatically give permission as I have to write su everytime I turn my phone on and that's a bit lame :x
su is the root command. Whenever you want root access, you type su. It is made this way because the shell does not need root for all commands. So you may want to browse your folders via shell, and you wont need su for that.
In all linux distros, and unix too, you type su when needing root access... that's the way it works. Be happy that you don't need to type the admin password whenever going root via su, as you would in linux/unix.

No, you don't have to be a superuser for it to work. The "su" command is just needed to check if the fix is working. If you just run the command "iwconfig wlan0" the terminal gives back to you wrong values, due to the lack of superuser command. But it doesn't mean the power management or the txpower are not working.
Hi guys, this morning I have tryed to install the swap script on kyrillos 9.1 by the old script in the /system/etc/init.id directory, but when I launch the free command on emulator terminal in the swap partition show 0 0 0.
So I think that the script doesn't works, infact I don't find the log of swap anywhere. Also on normal usage of phone, I always have low ram available.
I have found in this page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache this app https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.swapper2&hl=en. Does anyone have tryed this app before?
After the installation and configuration, I have tryed to open some apps and keep they in background. So, I launch free command in terminal emulator and I can see the swap partition with the memory used and free, which mean that the swap works.
The phone is also smooth and very responsive, with more ram available.
Now I wonder, why the old script doesn't works?
And this app, swapper 2, is a good app? Is convenient to use?
What is the experts advice?
P.s.: Sorry for my english.

Root the phone & install "swapper configuration". It works for me.

Swapper Configuration? :-D Do you mean by any chance the app "Swapper"? Because I can't find any "swapper configuration" app anywhere...
Btw..: after enabling swap file with swapper I'm still unable to see any free swap memory within the terminal (free shows still 0 swap)
Although - it seems my phone is working better now... Placebo?

I am not the expert in these things. After installing swapper and enabling swap on the sd-card, my phone became very responsive. On clicking home button, main screen with widgets and icons appears instantly, no matter in which program or apps I am in. So I guess it did made the phone faster and responsive.

To my mind it's placebo effect - I've tested it and can't find any proof of SWAP enabled!

Take a look at the screenshot below. If you add up the numbers you see that I'm missing about 15GB of storage space.
For the life of me I don't know where to look to find the missing 15gb. I don't mind missing a gig or two, but FIFTEEN? Wow!
Where do I start the investigation? I've looked and looked using File Manager Pro but can't find anything suspicious.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

The most common space-eater is nandroid backups - they can be quite large.
If you're rooted, you can tell what's eating your space using "du -sh /sdcard/*" from a shell prompt (via Terminal Emulator or "adb shell".

I downloaded Android Terminal Emulater. When I run the above command I get this error: "/system/bin/sh: du: not found"
Aside: I keep two Nandroid backups but they're not eating up 15 gb.
Grab "disk usage" from the market.
I've been pushing this app as if it were my own for the last year and still tons of people don't know about it.
Side note, for the du command to work you have to do "su" first.

Thanks for the tip. Great program. It shows me there's 14 gig in system data which can't be right. I'm thinking that this is a result of either multiple roms or TWRP. Check attached screen shot.
Where do I go from here?
I am having the same issue
month ago when I am using cwm i entered "partition" in "advance " manu .. and the back buttom disabled so i just resturt the SG-p7510 32G
after installin JB rom am surprised that my internal memory now is 28.1G Of 32G !!!!. actully I don't know what it should be but i tried to partition wit pit file and had many trublles like missing the Kernel so can't flash the rom and the other problem that i wasn't able to flash the rom from the odin and also the rom not in the sd so i had to send it using adb push. yesterday i tried to contact with samsung but the punish me and said that the warranty is violate after hacking the gt... tel now i don't know the solution of this or i don't know what is the maximum space, so i hope u can solve such thing and tell us how to doit
When opening disk usage, choose the "root required" option. Then select your storage device from that menu. Done select the first two because they don't ask for root.

Hello all, as some of you know that there is a way that lets you increase your device's ram capacity, and that is by swap, well am here to give you simple and easy steps to enable swap on your device.I only tested this on few devices so don't complain if it didn't work.
I'am not responsible for any damage could happen, you are doing it at your own risk.
Prerequisites
1-An android phone (duhh )
2-Must be rooted.

kitkat users may find a problem that swap has a limit of 50 MB or 150 MB ( Caused by the new 4.4.x kernel Just Try It)
Installing busybox xbin

Heads up! using swap on SD card may decrease your SD card's lifetime.

Since the swap file in made on the SD Card, No, it will not damage your system but there is a high chance it can affect the SD Card. If you have an SD Card, then yes you can try this on Auto Navi System with Android 4.0.3. Make sure to have a class 8 or greater SD Card to get maximum speed. Hope I Helped
Thx for your answer! I will try it after I buy another SD class! I hope that will make my unit a little smoother!

The file is there, it has the size that I choose in "Simple Root Swap". I tried 200 MB and 100 MB.
The "Info" tab of "Simple Root Swap" tells me however:
Status Swap:
Total Swap: 0MB
Used Swap: 0MB
Free Swap: 0MB
When I open a terminal emulator "free" tells me 0 swap, "swapon -a" tells me that /etc/fstab does not exist...

Did you press the On button below Auto Start? Once you create the Swap file using the Re/ Create button, tick the Auto Start box and press the On button below that. That should activate swap on SD Card. Now check Info to see your swap details or use "free" on Terminal. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Did you install BusyBox? Creating and running swap requires certain binaries which may not be present in the rom by default. Do post the result.

Is it possible that the kernel I am using is lacking swap capabilities and therefore, the app cannot make swap work?

Since you have followed all the instructions perfectly, it must be the kernel. Rafael's kernel does have swap support though.
