Does anybody know if this is posible with android? Similar to have windows has turboboost. Like one would get a very fast read/write sd card to add more ram to there phone. I know many phones the internal storage is pretty slow so a high speed microsd would be alot faster than full ram trying to read and write to storage which we have all seen drag extremely.
Im content with the speed of my phone but its always out of ram :\

I don't even mind if it uses the whole SD card. I'd love to find like a 4gb crazy fast card. I don't know exactly what ram swap means. Unless it puts suspended program ram on sd

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?

app2sd is different of a2sd from froyo.
Its only a resource to install more application in our limited phone.
Ho I get it thanks alot for the explanation
Sorry if I sound very dumb, but how do I use a swap partition?.. I know its like a "ram extension", please correct me if Im wrong. Could you also give opinions to what size should I put as a swap partition? Im planning to buy a 8gb class 10 microsdcard. Thank you.

Swap is Hard Disk space being used as RAM . When the system is low on memory , the applications that are inactive will get swapped to the Hard Disk . This allows more RAM to be freed for other applications and for a smooth experience .
Applications also have the ability to get swapped back and forth , so multitasking is not a problem

A swop partition is for computers that do not have enough ram. As far as I known Android (linux) OS is very good in dealing with memory. I have not seen anything on XDA developers forum in relation to this question. Android does not need a swop-disk or partition.

Thanks! May I ask some other questions, without going too much OT?
In apps2sdGUI there are several low memory settings, but how do they work? There's no explanation of what they do...
In the end, always on apps2sdGUI should I change the dalvik VM heapsize standard value? Is there any benefit from doing it?
Thank you!

You can do it from pc using minitool partition wizard!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
you also can try with CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9 if u using CF-root..
Reboot into recovery > choose advanced > partition SD card > then pick ur sd-ext and swap size..
for me, swap work best at the minimum 32M, larger than that would be problem later
i tried partitioning.. i have 1g sd-ext and 32m swap.. i chech a2sd repair it said sd-ext not mounted. i tried mounting it manually in cwm but still it doesnt mount. then i tried a2sd install, but when i checked titanium backusd,, my system rom and sd(a2sd) is identical.. what have i done wrong?..
Dunno.. maybe you should try reflashing!
Sent from my Galaxy Ace running GLSMT 2.1 Rom, with XDA app.
maybe. or ill just do a nandroid restore. my system rom 42mb free become 12mb after a2sd.. lol
Hi,
My phone has nearly 400 apps and keeps saying memory low, preventing me from installing new apps.
Is there any way i can repartition the internal memory to give out about 4GB?

Hi, thanks but it seems this mod swaps the external sd for the internal one. But what I'm looking for is to change the 2GB internal reserved memory for apps to about 4GB.

Not possible. Uninstall unused and junk apps and if you rooted you can remove Samsung music hub. Samsung apps. As they are incompatible and useless in most mobiles.
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
Here is the link
http://db.tt/SeX0WyxU

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 all
I own an SGS 1 so I'm on CM10.1 with Semaphore kernel which is supporting live oc (and I've managed to live oc it up to 128% working stable), so it's a month now I've purchased a used sgs2 and wanted to get it higher as my older sgs1, having in mind it's dual core and using 1gb ram I think it's going to be lot faster than my sgs1
So I saw there are plenty of options for roms based on cm10.1 and even cm10.1 itself as on sgs1!
But although I've searched quite a lot, haven't found easily a kernel supporting live oc!! Isn't there such an option for sgs2?
Also whats' the limit of OC/LIVE OC in rough words of course (I know that it depends on each certain device) and what are your average scores in Antutu?? Are they really around 12000?
EDIT: Since I've been start searching for two days now on issues other people deal with I've found lot of threads and posts commenting about the internal storage that it's divided in 2 parts.....2gb for the whole rom-apps + almost 12 gb for the user!!
Now is this true?!?!
I'm using the sgs1 8gb internal card as a whole....isn't it the same here on SGS 2?
So if I install let's say Asphalt 7 which screams for almost 1.5gb, data goes straight to 2gb "system" partition?? Or maybe "data" folder is on the 12gb partition?
Can't this be used as a whole?
Thank you all
C'ya
I believe I ve placed my question in the right place...but no answer from anyone???!!!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Search in original Android Development section for kernels that supports oc.
And the maximum oc is 1.6 ghz but the stable is 1.4.ghz but the oc will drain the battery even faster.
And you don't need to oc this phone his 1 gb ram and 1.2 ghz will not give you any lag on any hd apps.

Those 2 partitions that are divided our internal storage is system and sd card.
In the system are going all apps that you'll gonna install and in the sd card will going all data from those apps.
Hope I clear you out
