[Q]RAM capacity extend? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I was curious if it is possible to extend RAM memory by cutting a partition from the SD card and using it... Is it possible? From my little knowledge about Unix systems, this memory is called SWAP. If we made this possible, e.x. Reach 512 MB RAM memory, then GingerBread would run very smoothly on our MINIs (and PROs)
I know, that in Windows (Vista and above) is possible to optimize RAM by extenting cache into a USB or SD. I am not sure if this is possible on Linux/Unix systems...
I have no actual idea, but just the idea! Please help me know if it is possible... :-D

If somebody develops anything like what we would like ie. getting more RAM from the SD card they should call it SD Hijack..!

Our kernel doesn't support it yet, andyx is hard at work trying to make a module.

so,...isnĀ“t...possible...in...the...x10mini?

Nope it's possible.
But it did not preform well even with my big over clocked x10 the class 8 SD just could not keep up the pace with all the traffic on the SD card.
Even with a massive 8mb read & write ram cache for the SD it just could not deal with it.

Our bootloader is now unlocked and most custom kernels out there now have swap.(i.e. the SD RAM)

I have a 2GB card also. Kept 500 MB for apps and its more than enough (installed huge amount of apps and still got 300MB to spare).
Keep as much as possible for your songs/pics/videos.
Installed app2sd with 294mb for apps and 1.66gb for media.
Works perfectly.
But tell me one thing:
App2sd doesn't only work on android 2.2? or it works on 2.1?

Ho I get it thanks alot for the explanation

[Q] What type of App2SD supported?

I want to ask, what type of app2sd supported on this device?
App2SD Xtreme, Dark Thremor App2SD?
I've tried created a partition (ext2/ext3/ext4) but it is not detected by Titanium Backup likes some device (eg.Galaxy Mini)
Some says they have tried link2sd.
I really want to enable darktremor a2SD too cause Im nearly out of phone memory lol

i guess it's because some app cannot be moved to sd.
anyway, /system has tons of free space left. why not moving apps to /system/app?? i still have free space more than 100mb in /system even after moving all of my installed apps to /system/app...

Yes it does but IMO, swapping to sdcard is not very useful because it is the slowest memory in our device and swappin to it is not very efficient and I forgot to mention that sdcards normally have a high rate of data corruption and failures and swapping to it will only increase the risk of corrupting the card. Instead you can use swap to cache or zram, it would be more efficient and useful. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to spoil this thread or something (I hope I'm not spoiling it) just wanted to explain something useful :thumbup::beer:

Moving Apps to SD card

Hi,
Just handed my XZU for nearly 2 weeks now. Really loving it, great companion for my Xperia Acro S.
We know that XZU only available in 16gb of internal memory and expandable via SD card. But i face a little issue with the internal capacity, now i am using 75% of the memory - i install pretty much big games, and it continues to keep on growing --"
With that pattern of usage, i guess moving big apps to sd card will help, but i cannot find the "move to external memory" option inside the app detail. Is it possibble to move the app to sd card? Do i need to root my device?
Your responds are highly appreciated. Thank you.

It is possible. I Had same problem and I could not find any SW which does not need root. Bud finaly I had to rood my ZU and now I use GL2SD app which works great also with non GL games
Ah, thanks for your reply. So, i need to root my XZU then, but it appears to be an uncomfortable option to me. Let's hope this will be enabled in the future update

App to SD only allows you to more the akp as far as I'm aware? Foldermount will let you move any folder, including game date to the external.

my ultra have root with 360root
App2SD and GL2SD
My Xperia Z Ultra is NOT rooted
App2SD: Not supported
GL2SD: Requires root
This means, No Go....
Safe bet you will need root access for any on these apps to work. Rooting is easy, but it's your personal choice if you do it. Plus you always get the choice if which apps to grant access to so security should not really be a concern.

Mine reboots too... but to install remount-reboot we need to have a working CWM, which is not the case...
Or, install it through a PC, but it drives me mad not being able to do everything on my device instead of depending on a computer.
We'd need something like Mobile Odin Pro for Samsung... isn't it possible to do something like that? Just a question, I don't know if it would be science fiction... :silly:
