As we all know, for what ever reason, Samsung decided to release the Tab 3 model tablets with 1 GB of ram. I believe this system needs more ram but unfortunately we cannot upgrade the hardware. What we can do is create virtual memory or a "Swap file" that acts like ram to help our Tab 3's out with multitasking and other memory hogging tasks. Below are the steps to:
1. Create a swap file.
2. Create a script file to run at boot from your /system/etc/init.d directory.
3. Create a android system with 1GB of RAM and 1GB of swap file virtual memory.
*Remember whatever device you are using must have a rom with init.d support and be rooted.
STEP 1: TERMINAL COMMANDS PT.1
Download terminal emulator from the play store if you don't already have it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Open terminal emulator and execute these commands in order:
1. "su"
2. "cd /system"
3. "mount -o rw,remount /system"
4. "dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1m count=600" (be patient, this step takes about a minute)
5. "mkswap swapfile"
6. "chmod 755 swapfile"
STEP 2: INIT.D SWAP FILE TEXT CREATION
Now to create a script to execute at boot every time you boot your phone. I used the app QuickEdit from the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.edit
Now open that up and put the text below in the file:
"mount -o rw,remount /system
swapon /system/swapfile"
Now save that to your sdcard (/sdcard) as "swap" (remember do not save with the .txt)
STEP 3: TERMINAL COMMANDS PT.2
Now go back into terminal and execute these commands:
1. mv /sdcard/swap /system/etc/init.d
2. chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/swap
I kept my previous terminal session open but if you closed it for what ever reason you might have to execute "su" and then "mount -o rw,remount /system" before the two commands in step 3.
STEP 4:
Reboot and win. :laugh::good::laugh:
To verify that the process has worked, after reboot, bring up terminal emulator and type "free -m". You should see that swap has more than 600M! This will stick after reboot. If for whatever reason you want to get rid of your swap file just delete the "swapfile" file and the "swap" script. Enjoy!
I'm getting "swap file needs to be a least 40kb" after I "mkswap swapfile"
EDIT:I tied it again now and it seemed to work, for some odd reason

My swap file reads "399" .... it's not more than 600m. What did I do wrong?

Never mind! I found the solution... when typing "1m" into the command line, the m must be capitalized, "M". If anyone else has this issue, this is where u went wrong! Now I have "999" instead of "399"!
AWSOME. It brought some more life into my lagging P5210 running latest cm13 from Nelson. Cool
Thanks, I can finally use chrome on my tab 3

Not sure what you mean, but when you wipe your system folder, you need to make swapfile again.

I've got to the last step and couldn't move the file as the /system partition is 100% used.
I also notice that the created /system/swap file is only 589M ...
So I guess I could try to use a smaller swap file or clear some /system/** memory? Anyone know the best way to do that? or what i can delete etc?
thanks.

The last step is where you went wrong, since swap uses space on your system partition. Free up space and redo everything again. You should see 999 ( or more than 600) if you succeeded.

To free up space in the system partition, try deleting unecessary system apps and bloatware, (I'm guessing you are on stock touchwiz, but it doesn't matter otherwise). You can also find a deodexed rom that you would like. Deodexed roms use less space in your system partition. The last option is to get a download of your rom on a PC and boot into TWRP (3.0.2-0 preferred) and do an advanced wipe as well as your internal storage. Backup everything if needed, then reflash.
Hope any of these helped!

Ahhh. I followed the instructions and installed cm13.0 from nels83 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3342017 )
I guess doing this step:
"Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Dalvik Cache + System + Cache + Data"
doesn't actually wipe the system partition clean?

Ya, that doesn't wipe the tablet clean, wiping all of that and 'internal storage' does the trick. Glad I could help!
I agree with everyone here. This made a big responsiveness change in the tablet. Thank you!

Hello.
I'm facing the infamous problem of "not enough space" when downloading from the market, while I actually have plenty of space. The ultimate solution seems to be moving download cache to the SD card (symbolic link). The problem is that the download cache with ICS and Google Play isn't located in /cache/download anymore, and I have been unable to find where it is located both searching with Google and browsing the filesystem.
Any help?
Look in the market for opda system tuner lite, it'll clean it right up
Go to /data/app/ and delete the Titanium Backup ODEX. If this doesn't work, read the PM I'm about to send you (moda will complain it's illegal (it isn't for this purpose though)).

Hello. Thank you both for replying, but you both answered a different question than the question I asked. I have already tried to clean market cache, to no success, and I believe very strongly that the solution is moving download cache to the SD card. I found lots of people with Google having my very same problem and fixing it this way. The problem is that I am now using MIUI ICS with Google Play, and the download cache location is different. Does anyone know where the download cache is located with ICS / Google Play Store?
Just to be 100% sure I also tried okmijnlp solution, and as I was expecting it didn't fix the problem.
Ok, solved the problem myself. The folder I had to link to SD card is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache. This worked on a MIUI v4 ROM (after rebooting).

Could you please advice how you have changed this, as i am new Android user hence not much aware how do go about it.
Hello.
I have bad news for you: after writing my last post here I realised that the problem wasn't actually solved (it only worked fine for a few hours), so linking that folder to the SD card is not a solution to the problem I was experiencing. However you are likely to need to link some folder to another one on your phone at some time, so I am explaining you these steps anyway.
First, you need to be on a rooted ROM. If you aren't, then have a look on the forum about your device here on xda and good luck for the rooting process.
Afterwards, you need the "Terminal emulator" application. If you don't have it, please download it from the market. Then run it and enter the following command:
Code:
su
This will give root rights to the terminal emulator app.
Now you can run the following commands.This will create the new folder on your SD card:
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/downloads
This should move all the contents of the "cache" directory into the new directory which you have just created:
Code:
mv /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/* /sdcard/downloads/
This should delete the now empty cache folder:
Code:
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
This will finally created a symbolic link which has the same name of the old cache folder but points to the new folder on your SD card:
Code:
ln -fs /sdcard/download /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
I am not a Linux expert and I haven't tested these commands on my phone right now, so I'm not 100% sure that I haven't done any mistakes.
thanks for your reply
the solution didnt work for me as i dont have same .com folder. i tried searching on google and below steps helped in resolving the cache issue
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which should have bigger partition size)
Now i am able to download 30MB application on my phone from market.

Yes, it works for me using the root explorer under CM10.0. Thanks.
Hi!
I'm having the same trouble with not enough space, and when i run these command, it says operation not permitted. What to do? :/ It says thatsome sd card doesn't allow links?
Have you typed "su"? What happened then?
In any case, let me repeat that the procedure above eventually did NOT solve the download cache problem, if this is what you are looking for. The only solution for me was switching to a different ROM.
It's not need to use the console (Terminal Emulator). Just do the following:
1. Install Root Browser Lite (grand rood permissions if neccessary)
2. Delete the /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache folder
3. Create the /sdcard/cache folder
4. Go to sdcard, select the new created cache folder by long press and choose 'Create shortcut' from list, you will see 2 buttons, 'Create' and 'Cancel'
5. Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/ and tap 'Create' button below
6. Enjoy!
You can use any other root file manager, of course.
The download cache was also at /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/ on the 4.2.1 jellybean ROM I'm running right now as well.
Thanks for posting the info!

Thank you for your extremely clear explanation!
Nevertheless, despite having resolved the problem of lack of space for downloading apps from the store, with the help of your expertise, now everytime i reboot the device it shows me the message "android.process.media has stopped..."
I know it is related with the shortcut for the cache downloads.
Do you know how can I fix it?
Thank you.

Hi there,
is there a solution to make it possible that a microSD-card formatted in ext4 is able to be mounted in CM9?
This one I found for the Galaxy tab here.
I don't use any window systems and I'm not happy to have to format the extSD-card in FAT32 or exFAT.
Regards
Koeti
No one, who has a solution?

There is such a feature, but you have to proceed with EXTREME caution.
You must also have taken a backup of you sd cards' contents.
Firstly, go and flash the Franco Kernel
On his secong post, you can see the instructions required:
franciscofranco said:
Wi-Fi Power Management toggle:
How to activate the special sdwatcher binary:
This binary is special *buzzwords incoming* and will get rid of the fuse mounting and get rid of the /data/media symlink which causes excessive Media Scanning load - basically just mounts the internal sdcard as ext4. Battery life gets a nice boost using this binary. Instructions on how to use it at the second post. All credits go to Greg White, I did nothing but testing it for him.
To activate use ADB or Terminal Emulator:
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /system/bin/sdcard /system/bin/sdcard.bak
rm /system/bin/sdcard
cp /sbin/sdcard /system/bin/sdcard
chmod 0777 /system/bin/sdcard
reboot
Don't mess with this if you don't know what you're doing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I, however, did this manually using RootExplorer:
Code:
1) Navigate to "/system/bin/" using a root enabled explorer app. Enable read and write access.
2) Rename the "sdcard" file found in that directory to "sdcard.bak" (so you know have a backup).
3) Navigate to "/sbin/". There will be an "sdcard" file there.
4) Copy the "sdcard" file to "system/bin/".
5) Change the permissions to "rwxr-xr-x".
6) Reboot the system.
My guess is that you can flash any kernel you want after this procedure. I have tried Siyah and it's working fine so far. Your mileage will vary.
If you find the camera saying things like "Unable to write to external storage" or whatever, you have to creat a "DCIM" folder in the root of your external sd card manually. It will then be alright (you have to change the storage device back to external in camera options).
Make a note that this is an extremely advanced procedure that I myself am in the process of fully vetting!
Cheers!

Also, on the mid-step of this, the file "/sbin/sdcard" does not exist...
I was Just reading about a Triple Swap (Ram) trick on XDA, It Uses Cache and Data and System partition as Swap Space.
Idea
Android devices have got RAM memory and internal eMMC memory. The eMMC is separated into several partitions (e.g. /system, /boot, /data, /cache). In former times of Android, the /cache partition was used for caching. Nowadays, in ICS times, the applications are using the /data partition to save information, libraries and cache data. So /cache is no longer used by the operating system or applications. Therefore, this partitions is empty except 4ext-logfiles, last recovery-log and an obligatory and empty lost+found directory. So we have got another 114 MB of space that can now be used as fast swap space for the kernel.
Also, the /system partition normally is not fully used - depending on the rom, a more or less amount of this area is free and unused.
As these areas all are internal memory, these swaps are faster, than a swap area on the sdcard!
There are also a lot of read/write requests to the /data partition as well and this is in Android “by design”. Furthermore there are devices, that have a preconfigured eMMC-swap space "by design", as for exaple the HTC One V.

So the Help I need is: To get our device supported for this is are the following things:
To do this, we will need your help. At fist you have to install the script manually to confirm that it's working. In the second step we will need a few details of your phones to modify the Aroma setup. Let's start with the first step:
Installation instructions:
Download the Aroma
Extract the file 98swap_cache_v300 from the folder \swap\cache\50\etc\init.d in the Aroma
What to do:
Enter ES-Explorer and:
Go to ES-Explorer settings/Root settings/check (root explorer ,up to root and mount file as writable).
Copy the script 98swap_cache_v300 to /system/etc/init.d
Don't reboot!
Open a terminal session and get superuser rights with the command: su
Command: cd /system/etc/init.d (now you are in the init.d folder, where the script is)
Command: chmod 775 98swap_cache_v300 (now the script has execution rights)
Reboot
Now:
Open a terminal session and get superuser rights with the command: su
Command: cat /proc/swaps (shall show the new swap file /cache/swap/swap.img)
With ES-Explorer navigate to /data/swap and look into the log file swap_cache.log
Please, sent Me the logfile swap_cache.log via PM!.
If it's working, we have to do the second step:
The second step is, to include your Device in the Aroma; we need the internal device name and the mount point of the file systems. Do the following:
Open a terminal session
Get a superuser shell with the command: su
Now the command:getprop ro.product.device
(that's the internal device name - I will need that name exactly)
Now the command: mount
(we need the mount points from /cache and /data and /system; if you do not find them, just use the command "mount > file" - this will write all output to "file" - then send me "file")
Please, sent above info to Me via PM!

Move dalvik-cache to /cache
import /disclaimer.md
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage done to your device/SD card/OTG cable/washing machine etc.
You are responsible for what you do.
If something brakes, it's on you!
This has only been tested on a CM13-based ROM. I have no idea how it will function on other ROMs because of the size of the dalvik-cache directory.
I have found that, on CM13-based ROMs, the dalvik-cache directory is small enough to fit in the /cache partition, giving us several MBs on /data
Current state: Beta
Reason: Not fully tested (on all ROMs)
Comment: Stable enough for daily use
Installation:
Busybox required!
Download the attached zip and flash it in recovery.
Or extract the script from the zip, put it in /system/etc/init.d/ , set the permissions to 755 (rwxr-xr-x) and ownership to 0, 2000 (root, shell).
Uninstallation:
Delete /system/etc/init.d/10dc-linker and /cache/dalvik-cache
To-Do:
Add a size checker
Make suggestions
Bugs:

How much space do you have on /cache?
Also, what exactly is not working?
What is the state of SELinux?
Complete Data
This is what I did:
1) Extracted zip and pasted 10dc-linker in init.d
2) Rebooted phone with twrp recovery
3) Cleared dalvik-cache
4) Rebooted
Result: Nothing happened
Probable cause: Access problem to move/create folders as I couldn't change permissions for /cache , /data and /data/dalvik-cache folders manually using root explorer. It gets reverted back to original. My access was also restricted to root, there was no shell.
Probable fix: Adding script to gain permission to modify/ create in these folders. Plus adding access to both root and shell. I also read somewhere about superuser access to get permission but I couldn't understand.
My cache folder has about 600 MB space and it's completely empty. There is no issue with the space.
Please let me know about your step by step process and probable fixes. Maybe it works.

The script must have 755 or 777 permissions or it won't work.
Also, the zip is flashable. Just flash it in recovery and it will setup everything by itself.

My dalvik-cache is shooting up to 400+ MB, that's why it's not working. I moved /data/dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache. Then, I used terminal command after su command to link them
Code:
ln -s /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
It worked but my phone started showing errors with low memory notifications.
1) Is there a way to limit dalvik-cache size?
2) Another approach can be to increase /cache size with with some additional memory e.g. 100 MB, and then following this might work. There will still be a gain of 300+ MB of memory.
Please let me know what's possible.

You can't limit dalvik-cache size, sadly.
If there is enough space for dalvik-cache on /cache, then the script should work.
Also, could you give me the output of this command on a rooted shell?
Code:
ls -l /data/dalvik-cache
It's a small L.

What's the output without the script installed?
Script not working

Script is not doing anything at all as I told earlier. That's why I did it manually.

Man use this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/d620-partition-table-tool-t3107664
But choose "optimal" partition layout.

This is intended to work on a LG G2 Mini, not any other phone.

I want the output without it linked.
Hello.
I've installed viper4android on my mido. Everything is ok, but there is a background static sound when music is being played. According to the viper FAQ I need to delete /system/lib/soundfx/libbundlewrapper.so. What did I do:
1. Mount system as rw
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
2. try to rename that file
cd /system/lib/soundfx
mv libbundlewrapper.so libbudnlewrapper-2.so.bak
3. No success. Trying to create backup in a file manager and than trying to delete it. Still no luck. Changed system to ro and I'll wait for suggestions.
The file is there like I haven't done anything. The uncharted territory of the system partition still awaits for me. What I can do next to get the thing to work?

I use Official and final RR
The phone uses magisk and viper was flashed by magisk (should I remove the module and flash as non-system app?)

Still does not work. I have no idea what to do. Again.
Renaming the file does not go despite a Toast is visible "Rename Successful" and while deleting there is "Device or resource busy"

I tried. The funny part is that I can only see /system/usr. No other folder is in /system. Thats why I've posted this topic. I'm just lost.

Nope, you haven't mounted system in twrp, that's the reason you are only seeing /usr
So do this
From main menu, select "mount" and there select System, also make sure that the "system" box is checked and the box saying "mount system partition as read only" is unchecked(I've attached a screenshot for reference). Now you can easily go to /system and it should list the files and folders., And you can delete the file you want. Quote me if you need more help
