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.

No he was simply saying the name for such a thing should anyone manage to do it could be SD Hijack

so,...isn´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)
would like to ask a favor for any dev out there to make app2sd works for gt-p6800..tried everything i can..but still cannot..it said that my ext sd card is emulated and its not primary..so what should i do??
hope this will catch some android dev out there..really appreciate for your time..

Hi, you find a work around?
I also have a problem sending apps to sd...."sad face"
In this thread I'll show youHow to have 100mb (or more ) free in internal storage
It works with ALL versions of CM7
For that, just go in :
-Settings
-CyanogenMod settings
-Application
From now use the thing which is in your head...
Tick "Allow application moving"
And tap "install location" => a window is opening (whoah I'll achieve something in my life ) and now tick "external"
DONE !!!!!!!!
Now choose the app you want and tap on "move to SD card"
You can do this with ALL apps
Don't say thanks just press this magic button
I should precise with this method you don't need to install any apps and I have 155 apps and 132 mb free
I'm using link2sd

This method does not moves the entire application to the sd card, it hardly moves a maximum of 50% for most of the apps.
I think link2sd is a better way.
Anyways thanks for sharing, it does clears up some space though.
Link2sd is better for newbies...
And deleting system/app get more mb, get rid those bloatware...

Hi all
This apps is used our sd card to create swap memory
i've been trying and i think its work on my ray..
Just look at the screenshot..
the first line used by the phone memory = 400 mb
the second line i swap it with memory from sd card : 1480 mb
Just try it
Install as normal apk... place it on phone memory
open the app and click optimal value
Just wait till finish and reboot ur phone
Use ur widget to swap between memory internal and memory from sd card
I try it on my ray
stock rom
ics .587
supercharger v6
Aeon smallapps
16 gb class 10

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:

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.

Just to clarify. So this GLtoSD will move data to external SD but new installation will always install to internal SD ?

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:
