Dear All
I could able to create swap partition on my phone SD card using AParted.
Now, I want to make use of that by creating swap file.
I tried to use swapit script which I found in some other thread.
The script says swap can be done and I was given few options
1. Create swap in SD card
2. Create swap in internal memory
3. Create swap in system memory
4. Choose own location
I was unsuccessful with 1,2,4 and fortunately successful with option 3
It says success. I rebooted my phone and run free in emulator which given me 0 and 0.
Im not sure what went wrong.
But I feel my mobile is faster after doing this exercise..not sure if its my myth
Can you please let me know how can I implement swap for my phone..
Is swap working fine through it is showing 0 in terminal emulator
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance
Any update..pleaseeeeeee
Swap partion only applies for one boot, don't reboot afterwards, so you will have to run the script at the beginning of every startup. Also keep in mind you cannot mount a swap partion at boot(i.e via init.d script), as the sd card is often not mounted at that point. I also do not recommended making a physical partion on your sd card, instead you should be using an image file(a random one will do). Here's the commands to make things easier:
To create a swap image:
Code:
touch /sdcard/swap.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swap.img bs=1024k count=262144
mkswap /sdcard/swap.img
This creates a 256mb image
To mount image(This one is the one to be run at startup)
Code:
su
swapon /sdcard/swap.img

Hi
I want to use swap feature in my mini cm7! Any 1 plz provide me full details How to activate swap and to use in my xperia mini cm7 Rom??
One forum member told me to create SWAP partition on my memory card with MiniTool Partition Wizard (pc program - freeware) and that is all.
Phone finds it itself and will use it automatically.
(to check if you really use Swap partition DL and open "terminal emulator" and type "free")
Instructions how to do that you can find here on forum (it is almost the same thing like creating EXTx partitions).

I have created the ext partition but the phone does not recognize it automatically what to do? Am not using a2sd
U did not provide instructions website plz help
If you use latest minicm7 with latest nAa kernel, there is the swap partition really automatically mounted and used.
In MiniTool Partition Wizard you have to create new partition (not option EXT but option Linux Swap). The tutorial how to make EXT partition is here on forum (i cant find it right now), and instead of EXT, choose LINUX SWAP.
After that just start your phone and done.
If you need to check - you need Terminal Emulator installed in your phone, open it and type "FREE" and submit. Then you will see many rows and there is one begining with SWAP ... used/free values...
btw. EXT3/4 phone automatically recognizes too, but it doesnt help with swapping

Ok you mean I should make swap partition from the partition tool am going to do this...
But can u plz tel me what about I select for swap partition..?
I wrote it before, it is the same like creating ext partition, but only difference is that you choose LINUX SWAP instead of EXT3/4...
Label: you can write here swap or something
Drive letter: here you choose the memory card
Create as: Primary
File system: LINUX SWAP
Cluster size: Default
Successfully using swap in my mini cm7
And checked through terminal emulator by typing free its giving values and after opening applications the values are different and mobile runs fast..
One question in mind that I can't use a2sd and swap at the same time???
I have two partition. One for ext4 and other swap both are set to be primary but swap partition is mounted and other ext4 does not mounted checked through mini cm7 builtin feature
Any suggestions?
Man, I dont know what is your problem, but you can use SWAP and EXT partitions both together simultaneously.
Yesterday I bought a new msd and created around 600MB SWAP partition (primary), today 2GB EXT3 partition (primary) and rest let in FAT32.
Before I done this, I formated msd with Panasonic SD Formater.
Now Terminal shows me about 30 - 100MB used / 500 MB free SWAP and in CM7 settings I have showed and succesfully mounted 2GB size EXT3 with free 1.8GB.
So there must be problem with memory card, try to format it
--------------------------------------
EDIT: After that creating ext3/4 partition, restart your phone and now you can choose the A2SD settings.
MENU - SETTINGS - CYANOGEN MOD - PERFORMANCE - A2SD SETTINGS - i chose here A2SD. And restarted phone again.
and
MENU - SETTINGS - CYANOGEN MOD - APPS - "INSTALL PLACE" - choose automatic / intern (phone memory)
It works that all aplications installed to phone memory are in EXT partition of your msd! Only few files rests in phone memory.
You can everytime move apps from SD to (ext - phone mem) in APP MANAGER.
EDIT2: Looks like there are some troubles... after few restarting phone all apps in EXT dissappeard and could restore them... Trying to recover them...
Beware, this guide is more or less untested, it will interfere with stuff like memory encryption and OTA or other firmware updates. You have been warned, I assume no warranties for bricked phones, SD cards or lost data.
Many cheap-ass Mediatek phones ship with Android 4.4.2 or later and only ridiculous amounts of internal storage (2GB in my case, CAT B15Q). That may be enough for basic apps, but as soon as you install Navigon or other data-heavy apps (or WhatsApp with a load of videos) you're going to run out of space in no time - and because Google is a bunch of fools, they disallowed app installations to SD cards entirely in 4.4!
So, we're going to move /data in its entirety to our nice huge SD card and be able to use even bigger apps on small phones. It might be possible that this guide works on other phones, but that depends on how they boot and where the fstab and init.rc reside!
Prerequisites:
Mediatek-based 4.4.2 or later phone with root access in recovery (boot it in recovery, run adb shell, therein run id. If it says root, all fine. If not, install CWM)
A large enough SD card (I chose a 32GB card with a 50:50 split between /data and the "external sd card")
Solid Linux knowledge, one Linux PC and one Windows PCs. I urge you to NOT use any kind of VM unless you have experience with USB passthrough.
spFlashTool and the Mediatek drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/stock-rom-cat-b15q-rom-development-t2988774, for a flashing guide see http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/howto-firmware-flashing-cat-b15q-t2989627
mtkdroidtools from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358558543 on the Windows PC
mtk-tools from https://github.com/bgcngm/mtk-tools on the Linux PC (no, Cygwin does not work, it messes up the permission bits), cloned on an ext4 partition (not sure if ext2/3 can handle the extended permission bits...)
a network connection between the PCs or a USB stick to transfer files
Take the sd card out of the phone and insert it into your computer. Many laptop SD slots don't like SDXC (>4GB), you might need e.g. a Huawei 3G stick or a SDXC-compatible USB dongle.
Repartition the SD card using Acronis Disk Director, gparted or whatever you're familiar with. The first partition must only be resized (this is the FAT partition), the second partition is a ext4 (!) partition. Both MUST be primary partitions. Acronis and other tools on Windows might require a reboot to repartition SD cards. I recommend a 50:50% split, but if you're heavy on apps or their data, you might go for a 25% FAT: 75% EXT4 split.
Boot your phone into recovery, connect to it with adb in a root shell.
Assuming your data partition is at /dev/mmcblk0p8 (look in /fstab to find it out, followed by mount /data and ls /data to verify), execute the command "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p8 of=/dev/mmcblk1p2", wait until it is finished. This can take up to ten minutes or more, depending how much data there is.
Shut down the phone, take out battery and SD card.
Insert the SD card into your Linux machine, run resize2fs /dev/sdb2 (or wherever the ext4 sd card partition ended up, check it in dmesg) as root so that the filesystem grows; then eject the SD card and put it back into your phone
Readback your BOOTIMG partition, transfer it to the linux PC (or, if you already have a boot.img for your current firmware, use this one)
On the Linux PC, open a rootshell (to avoid permission issues when building the ramdisk).
Run "./unpack-MTK.pl /path/to/bootimg"
"cd boot.img-ramdisk" (directory might be named different, depending on how you named the bootimg dump file)
Using a text editor, edit the "fstab" file(s) (there might be multiple, with suffixes): From (adjust if needed)
Code:
/[email protected] /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc wait,check,encryptable=footer
to:
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc wait,check,encryptable=footer
Now, edit the init.rc file (beware, other .rc files in the ramdisk root might also contain mount commands!).
Search for "on fs_property:ro.mount.fs=EXT4" and again replace /[email protected] (or whatever the node for /data had been) with /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 in the commands in this block (should be fsck, tune2fs,ext4_resize and mount).
Repack the boot image: ./repack-MTK.pl -boot boot.img-kernel.img boot.img-ramdisk/ /path/to/newboot.img
Transfer newboot.img to the Windows PC and flash it using spFlashTool
boot your phone, look in Settings->Memory to see if it went OK!
If the memory view didn't change, also modify the other blocks of on fs_property, in case your device does not use an ext4 rootfs (but yaffs or ubifs instead).
Functionality
It is a good idea, but
Are I still have part of it as external storage?
If yes, it means I can not remove it because there are some apps used it.
If no, it means I will not have external storage anymore!

The SD card is now both internal and external storage! You are not able to remove it because else your system will not boot anymore.

If you manage to kill your sdcard while you have my sdcard hack installed, then the phone will bootloop until you insert a new sd card partitioned just like the old one. Then it will act like you had factory-resetted it.
Alternatively you can always reflash original boot.img/recovery.img and use the phone with limited internal memory.

i see, thanks to explain me :good:
There is another way to get more space: Link2SD (2.- euros) with a second partition on your external SD-card exactly like shown above (ext4 partition, primary).
The advantage is, that if the sdcard is faulty the system still runs, just the apps which are symlinked to the ext4 partition won't run.
So I use this for all these not absolutely important apps which needs lots of internal memory, e.g. kindle bookreader, Amazon, WhatsApp etc. I dont use it for all apps, most importantly not for any app, where there is no alternative. Last week my two years old 64 GB MicroSD card (SanDisk, with warranty 10 years) in my SGS4 stopped working and this could happen all the time. They are not that reliable I think, that I would put my system on it.
I did this now with the Cat B15Q of my friend.
EDIT: and she has now more than 1 GB free internal space
I think this is the best solution, 2 GB for the pure ROM and the system apps is more than enough and all user apps go to the external sd-card (2nd partition).
good day!
hope you can help me.
what if i want vice versa? because my phone's default storage (0) is sd card.and i want my default storage will be its internal since it is 32gb rom. tried all ways but i think the answer is its boot.img. thank you..hoping for a help
Hi.
I own Chinese tablet based on MTK6582 and Android 4.4.2, I somehow managed to install drivers and root it. The device has only 8GB of internal storge and is so horribly partitioned that I can install apps only in 1GB and 4,62GB is internal storage. I tried repartioning - it was horrible idea, worked for only 1 week, tablet was crashing and I wasn't able to open any stock app. I had to restore original EBR files. Then I tried Link2SD (after using SDFix) and it works. However, my sdcard is quite slow (write speed 8 mb/s) so apps are quite slow too. I thought that I can use this internal SD Card as second partition and googled something about it. I tried to follow this tutorial http://www.modaco.com/topic/356349-using-link2sd-to-use-internal-sd-as-extsd but my install-recovery.sh contains only this
#!/system/bin/sh
# If you're implementing this in a custom kernel/firmware,
# I suggest you use a different script name, and add a service
# to launch it from init.rc
# Launches SuperSU in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.
# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unless SELinux+Enforcing.
# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead
/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
# Some apps like to run stuff from this script as well, that will
# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file
# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, write there instead.
/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
(I have two install-recovery.sh files BTW)
This tutorial looks good too but probably my ROM does not support init.d scripts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201192
So any ideas how to make Link2SD see my internal SD card as second partition of physical SD card?
ABOUT
This is a solution for the dreaded warning about running low on internal memory on 2011 Xperia phones. My own Xperia Mini Pro has only 420MB of internal storage and this fills up quickly when installing apps. In this post I provide instructions and scripts to use the external SD card to extend the available internal storage, a so called “int2ext” solution which there are many flavours of.
The goal has been to solve the storage problem while at the same doing as small changes as possible to the system as possible (not unlocking bootloader, not installing custom recovery, etc).
Note that when the SD card is used to extend internal storage you should never power on the phone without the SD card inserted. Failing that you will probably need to factory reset and start over with the installation.
The whole 2011 Xperia range should be compatible, maybe other devices too.
BACKGROUND
After trying (and failing) with a number of the other solutions for enlarging internal storage with the external SD card, I've made my own solution that works on the Xperia Mini Pro (XMP) stock ICS ROM. In the second post I describe some properties of my implementation that may count as advantages for some, YMMV though.
COMPARED TO OTHER SOLUTIONS
See second post for technical description.
PREREQUISITES
Sony-Ericsson stock ICS ROM installed on your phone (you don’t need unlocked bootloader, recovery or any other mods)
Remove any other similar apps or tweaks (Link2SD, Apps2SD, INT2EXT etc) as they may interfere with this implementation. The installation script will abort if any of these are found.
USB Debugging enabled in your phone’s Developer settings.
Micro-SD card to install in the phone’s SD slot.
Cydia Impactor (optional)
Download from http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/.
Flashtool (optional)
Download from http://www.flashtool.net/. I have used version 0.9.18.6 which worked fine for the XMP while 0.9.20.0 had some problems. I have been told this has been fixed in 0.9.21.0 but have not verified it myself.
DOWNLOAD SCRIPTS
You find zip files as attachments at the bottom of this post.
INSTALLING
Check current firmware CDA (optional)
It is good to have a record of the exact firmware variant and version currently installed in case you need to flash back the stock ROM.
Go to the right place in the phone’s service menu:
open Phone Dialer
dial the secret code appropriate for your phone (for XMP it is *#*#7378423#*#*)
go into Service Info
go into Software Info
Note down the CDA number shown under the Customization Number heading
(see also http://www.hanfei.name/what-is-cust...xperia-device-and-how-to-view-or-find-it.html)
Partition your SD card
Your SD card should be partitioned as an MBR disk with (at least) two primary partitions:
The first partition should be formatted as FAT32 and will become your new (and smaller) SD card storage that you seen when connecting the phone to a computer.
The second partition should be formatted as Linux Ext2 and will become your extended internal storage.
You can have more partitions after these but these scripts will only care about the first two. I use a 16GB SD card and split even with 8GB to each partition.
There are many ways to perform the partitioning; I put the card in the SD slot on my computer and use the Minitool Partition Wizard Free Edition (http://www.minitool.com/partition-manager/partition-wizard-home.html) under Windows. For kicks you can install it using the Chocolatey auto-installer (https://chocolatey.org/packages/partitionwizard) if you like. You have more info about Minitool and other tools here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Note 1: Remember to set that partitions should be primary as some tools may default to logical and not primary partitions.
Note 2: You probably want to copy all your SD card files to your computer while partitioning and formatting, and copy them back after, as all data will be erased on the SD card.
Prepare your phone
Insert the partitioned SD card.
Enable USB debugging in Developer settings.
Have a USB cable ready for connecting between your phone and computer.
Root
If you have already rooted you can skip this step. All you need is the su binary on the system - you don't need the SuperSU app installed.
I use Cydia Impactor to root:
connect phone
select "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su"
click Start
(see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399464)
You can verify that it worked by opening a root shell.
I do this from Cydia Impactor:
menu Device > Open Shell…
type “su” at the prompt
type “id”
“uid=0(root)” should be shown
Update Busybox
The existing Busybox on the XMP is too old and will not support the way directories are mounted here. I have used Busybox 1.22.1 so I highly recommend that you install this version using the procedure below. If you already have this or a higher version installed you can skip this step but please verify that you have all the needed applets in your Busybox binary by checking against all the busybox aliases at the top of my scripts.
I use Flashtool to upgrade Busybox:
connect phone
Device menu > Install busybox
choose version 1.22.1
Install init.d support
The stock ROM does not have init.d support so we need to add it. If you have already added init.d support using some other software then you can skip this step.
Unpack the init.d.mikewse-<nn>.zip file to a directory (f ex init.d.mikewse) on your SD card.
Open a root shell on the phone using Cydia Impactor:
menu Device > Open Shell…
su
Install by running the install script:
Code:
sh /sdcard/init.d.mikewse/install.sh
You can verify the installation by checking the existence of the init.d directory:
Code:
ls -d /system/etc/init.d
The init.d function will be active after the next reboot and you can see messages from it in the kernel log:
Code:
dmesg | grep init.d
Install int2ext support
Unpack the int2ext.mikewse-<nn>.zip file to a directory (f ex int2ext.mikewse) on your SD card.
Open a root shell on the phone using Cydia Impactor:
menu Device > Open Shell…
su
Install by running the install script:
Code:
sh /sdcard/int2ext.mikewse/install.sh
You can verify the installation by checking the existence of the int2ext boot file:
Code:
ls /system/etc/init.d/40int2ext
The int2ext function will be active after the next reboot and you can see messages from it in the kernel log:
Code:
dmesg | grep int2ext
You should also be able to see the new larger size of your storage in the Storage menu of system settings.
Tweak what’s put on the SD card
The default int2ext script is set up with a good compromise between what files are delegated to the SD card vs are kept in the original location in internal storage. Apk files and app data are delegated to the SD card while unpacked app code (dalvik-cache) is kept on internal storage for speed and availability.
If you are installing a large number of apps your dalvik-cache may grow too large for internal storage. You can check how much it has filled up from a root shell:
Code:
df /mnt/int-stor
and also see how much of this is due to files in dalvik-cache:
Code:
du -s /mnt/int-stor/dalvik-cache
If you are hitting the limit then you can configure delegation of dalvik-cache to the SD card:
open a text editor with the 40int2ext file that you unzipped to the SD card in the int2ext.mikewse directory
edit the line
Code:
EXTDIRS="app app-private data"
so it becomes
Code:
EXTDIRS="app app-private data dalvik-cache"
then reinstall int2ext by running the install script again
REFLASH STOCK ROM
If you want to start from fresh or need to recover from some failure in the installation then you can flash back the stock ROM using Flashtool.
First let Flashtool download and assemble the appropriate stock ROM for you:
click XperiFirm icon in toolbar (furthest to right)
select your phone model
select the appropriate CDA (collected at the beginning of this post)
click the release info in the right pane to start download
Then flash it to the phone:
click Flash icon in toolbar (furthest to left)
choose Flashmode
follow instructions (for XMP press Volume Down)
If you have any questions or problems regarding Flashtool there are lots of threads on XDA were you can find solutions about drivers etc.

GOALS AND TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Here's a few thoughts that have influenced the implementation:
Working for autostart apps, widgets etc
I have seen mentions that Link2SD and others have problems with redirecting widgets and other types of early-start apps. I have not seen this myself and suspect this may have to do with other factors (f ex doing install steps in the wrong sequence may bork your installed apps).
Anyway, I have verified that my solution works with all apps (early-start, system and downloaded) on the XMP.
No extra bells and whistles
Many of the available solutions add extra "nice to have" features to make scripts more universal or maybe optimize speed on some devices. I actually ran into problems with some of these optimizations on the XMP so deciced to only perform what is exactly necessary on the XMP and nothing else. This script only performs mounting of partitions and moving of files therein.
Mount the /data base directory on external SD card
Several other solutions keep /data mounted on internal storage and just redirects /data/app and others to the SD card. That is good in theory but at least on the XMP this causes you to still get warnings that storage is full as the phone detects that your apps take up more space than fits in /data. With my solution the phone will see the enlarged /data partition and will f ex report this correctly in the Storage menu.
Keep most /data subdirs uninterrupted on internal storage
There are some critical directories on /data that should be available without interruption from boot and onwards. Having these come and go during startup can lead to different problems such as signal loss (correlated to /data/radio). To avoid surprises this script only keeps the typical hogger directories app, app-private and data on the SD card and rebinds everything else back to internal storage in one rbind-mount command that eliminates interruption of these subdirs.
If you want you can customize which /data subdirectories are used on the SD card by simply editing the EXTDIRS variable in the 40int2ext script. Existing files will be moved accordingly on the next boot.
Simple install script run from terminal instead of flashing from recovery
Stock ROM doesn't have recovery with flash function so I have instead made simple install scripts that you run from the Android shell.
Follow standard principles
Like several other solutions this script hooks the debuggerd binary as that seem to be triggered earliest during startup. I also look for installations of other solutions and will abort if any are found as that could lead to problems.
Naming is kept similar to other solutions apart from the strange habit to use "sd-ext" as the name for internal storage. In my implementation internal storage is mounted to /mnt/int-stor and the external SD card to /mnt/sd-ext.

First of all I want to beging telling that my device is locked and it is a Moto E XT1021 1st generation. Previously of this locked state, it was unlocked and it had the following files to made the flash via fastboot installed gpt.bin, boot.img, NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from the Moto E android 5.1 of the 23.201.3.condor_retuglb.retuglb.en.US version (condor_retuglb-user 5.1 LPCS23.13-34.8-3 1), and the rest of the installed files where from the version 23.201.3.condor_tefla.tefla.en.01 (condor_tefla-user 5.1 LPCS23.13-34.8-3 3) @lost101 That’s how I solve my connection problem here in Venezuela. My phone come from USA and contradictorily as it seems it works well with the basebends of USA and not with the ones of Latin americans, in internet to users that are from argentina and which cellphones comes from France, their cellphones works great with the bands of Europe and not with the bands of latin America, here is a post that narrates the same issue in a differen situation

. Do you thing that this could be a contribution to the community? Well, returning to what I was telling after doing some modifications in my cellphone with busybox, Mount2sd, and swapper 2 when I reboot it using a personalize key set up by xedege by jozein, an xposed module, it started in fastboot mode and the status of the device is LOCKED, and when I started it up by Normal power it appears Failed to initialize partition table, when I start it up in recovery (I had twrp recovery) it said boot image fail or something like that and invalid recovery image, when I started it by factory it also appears boot image can’t be executed (it’s something that means this) and invalid boot img and the same with the rest of the otion except for Barcodes where my IMEI appears to be 00000…., you can’t erase, flash or boot nothing via fastboot it all shows invalid validation and Fail or something similar and when I entered fastboot oem get_unlock_data it throws Could not access to unlock data! Please help me, here in Venezuela because of the miserable value of Bolivares, cellphones are unbuyable.

What I did with busybox?
Just installed it via recovery and from a zip file. I installed the 1.24.2 from Stericson.
What I did with mount2sd of spaze dog?
I downloaded Mount2sd app and installed it in my cellphone and also installed its scripts, because all my applications where being installed in my external sd and I had enough free space for some other app in my internal memory I tried to force android to install application in my internal memory executing adb shell in the CDM of my windows computer and when it appears the terminal I wrote su pm set-install-location 0 but it shows location not found, the same for 1 or 2 location. The next thing that I do was to uninstall mount2sd, I didn’t unistall mount2sd binaries, and remove my sd card and install some apps in my internal sd, then I mount again the sd card, and install Mount2sd app and install another application and it goes to the internal memory. Mount2sd said that External storage was not mounted 0 GB of 0GB, The threshold thing also appears 0GB of 0GB, so in settings I activate fix (activate it if you have problems with threshold, that was what it had said this option, and is under use busibox binaries). I also activate Swap in Mount2sd.
I read here in XDA, that making a card partition by Partition wizard tool or a custom recovery other than 4ext for HTC phones are of bad quality or can damage your memory card, and that a correct way to do this is using gparted, specifically gparted live, to execute from the dvd player when you start up your machine so I did it this way. I made three primary partition and when they were created all said write in or something like that in dev/mmcblk0. Once the partitions had finished they showed the following information: 1st fat32, 6.15GB, path: dev/sdb1; 2nd ext4 , 1GB, dev/sdb2; 3rd linux-swap, 255MB, dev/sdb3. I don’t know if these strange path could affect Mount2sd or Swapper.
The question is, Is really better doing a partition with gparted? And if it is this way, how can I use this partition to install apps in my external sd card? If it is not better to partition an sd card with gparted I could let my applicatons installed or moved, for me they are for the same purpose, by doing the card partition by twrp and using Link2sd, thing that I did satisfactorily previously.
What I did with swapper 2, version 0.2.8.r2 by Elvis KuAitans?
In settings I checked Run swapper at start up. In advanced preferences I checked swap partition, and in swap location I tried Dev/block/mmcblk0, dev/block/mmcblk?, dev/bock/mmcblk1p3, and dev/block/mmcblk1p? withn insatisfactory results showing in the screen after I pressed On in the principal screen of the application dev/block/… invalid argument or something like that and FAIL. I also had wrote the correct location of busybox in the space set for this in the application. How can I get use swap partition as ram with the previously partition of the sd card? And if it is not better this partition how can I do the same thing? Do you think that I shouldn’t have problems if I made the partition via TWRP?
When I reboot my cellphone it occurs what I described first. Please, tell me that there is a solution, I heard bad things about this lock state. I already appreciate your help. I can also pray for the ones who help me (really I can do this). Thank you.
