Hi there, I have just gotten CM11 for my ace, but the ram is too low. I have heard about using swap but don't know how to make it work. I have try swapper 2 and some other swap software but it didn't seemed to work. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks
Cheers,
Zerien

First of all wrong device Q/A section. Secondly, I personally don't agree with using swap to increase ram. Not only does this decrease your SD Card's life but also you won't see much difference in ram either. Then again its my opinion. You can try the following guide but remember to use this at your own risk. Also for you notice any difference, use class 8 or higher SD Card. Here is the link,

Hope I Helped

Hi i just rooted my phone and installed MCR. Do you think its worth it to do A2SD on my hero? Will it make the apps run faster? Right now i still have 41MB so thats still a little bit to spare. Should i do it?
Personally I wouldn't bother if I were you, unless you are absolutely out of space. It certainly won't make your phone any faster anyway.
Regards,
Dave
ohh ok, i guess i'll do it when i run out of space then. I also only have a class 2 sd card so it isnt that fast.

It wont make it faster but, if you run more Applications will it ever get slow if you make a big swap?
Hi
To start please dont ask me to use the search function
At the moment I am unable to save apps to my SD card, is this possible without rooting the phone?
Anyone know if it will be possible when htc release 2.1?
Also, does copying the apps to the sd card speed up your phone? anyone with custom ROMS, how much internal memory do you have free when running average amount of apps, ?
If i dont restart my phone it hovers around 80mb and starts to lag,

No - Apps2SD isn't currently an official part of Android, and whilst I expect it to come eventually it, it isn't there yet.

No - chances are the flash memory on your phone is quite a bit faster than your SD card. If anything, it may actually make it slower.

Dave
dave, i have to disagree... on most points.

depends on what you mean by "rooting the phone", but you don't need root access to your rom for apps2sd.

it can be implemented the same way as it is now. it was never available in an official update, and probably never will.

probably not. if there is any change at all it might be slower, as the sdcard is probably slower than the internal flash. whether this is measurable and/or noticable, no idea.

ram or internal storage? storage about 80mb free, don't care about ram. this is a linux system, free ram is wasted ram. windows (mobile) bull**** doesn't count here.

so you are probably talking about ram. try to figure out the reason for the lagging.
thank you both for your replys, so what can I do to speed up the phone, do these custom ROMS, like modaco actually run faster,
I watched a video of a comparison between modaco and the stock ROM, and the stock ROM seemed to work quicker which kinda put me of modaco but I have also read rave reviews about modaco, your thoughts ?
Has anyone used it on the SIII? If so, hows your experience with it? What settings do you use?

I've used it on every android device I've owned, most with fantastic results. The SGS3, however, didn't give me fantastic results. That is partially due to it not being able to fully supercharge our phones [yet].
You want 1000hp settings, and it will do the rest for you.
Possibly due to the amount of ram it doesn't have as much effect. I have used with and without. Same results.

Not true. With more ram it should make more of an effect since, theoretically, more apps will be able to run at the same time.

not quite. the minfrees in v6 arent adjusted for 2GB of ram, so they will perform ram dumps at the 1GB minfree levels
Don't forget about the calculated values...
Kinda neat how it's future proof that way, eh?

lol do your ears burn when we talk about your script? you always manage to find your way here
heh... well sometimes I poke around and do research in a way... lots of times users don't post an issue in the main thread or just reading comments gives me ideas to make it better

While you are here i cannot get any script to work i tried the 3g turbocharger and it has a weird installation and it doesn't seem to stick any ideas?
Don't really understand the problem.
Did the scripts say "Today is sunday so I'm not gonna work"?

The minfrees are adjusted to your phone. My minfrees oh my SGS2 and SGS3 are different.
I'm sorry I keep asking noob questions. I'm curious if there is a way to dual boot... I searched around a lot 1 this I'd a huge forum 2 all I found was stuff for other devices. 3 why would I want to dual boot? In my dream land I can keep jealybean21 all set up how I like it... and flash a dual boot carbon to try out or mean bean ice or what ever all.. and if I hate t or experience issues I could simply reboot to good old jellybean21... so if anyone knows a link or if it's a possibility I would really appreciate it.
The two other things I kick around in my head are is there a set up or use guide for all these tweaks jb21 has? I want to improve battery but I'm Leary off messing with settings I don't yet understand.
And I tried several times to get a swap of internal and external sd to work even the one in jb21 installer didn't work right... this note 2 has great screen ok battery but the 10Gb sinks... I've had out several times where the stupid sd0 and external are mirrored at 10 Gb thus making me feel like killing myself for spending 80 dollars on a class 10 super fast 64 Gb Micro sd... lol. Right now I'm using it like normal but apps full that 10 Gb fast. Thank you all very much for all the help... still wishing a bit that I would have gotten an iPhone 5

You need a kernel which supports dual boot. And we do have one:victory:
Ok thank you

But, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299261 and READ EVERYTHING. (including linked threads)
When you are done reading it ALL, please read it all again.
Then you should know what to do from there to get working dual boot.
Do adverse effects occur (like constant lagging) if I keep my Swap STILL ON on a long term basis? Like keeping the swap activated for a week? Without swapping off?
I try to keep it for a few days cause I ALWAYS multitask, and it's quite a hassle to swapping it ON and OFF...
Oh yeah, by the way, just an advance statement: If you guys/gals will advice me that using swap harms your phone/sdcard, well I don't really care about it, just don't push your "beliefs" about swap (cause I'm sick of it) and just answer my question... We cool, bro?
Wow, that last chunk was unnecessary...
Swap is very device/ROM/user dependent and what happens to you with swap might not happen to me
Yes many older devices running some very heavy-on-the-ram-use ROMs will need swap to work well at all but leaving it on will be safe if you find it needed
To answer your question no adverse effects in a week other than you find in one day, you can leave it on just fine
I do advice to do some searching to get a better grasp of Linux swap, once you understand how it works then you will understand how to use it most effectively

Haha, I added that chunk since every dang time I ask something in relation to Swap, some dudes/gals spawns out of nowhere and then advices me NOT to use Swap, and it really irritates me...
