[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Firstly i would like to say i prefer swap partition rather than .swp file created by Swapper2 as its highly unstable for me.

After searching the forum for many days and of course Google I was left with no answers and many errors,but today i accidentally found this while performing numerous try-errors methods.

My cards divided into 3 parts Fat32,ext3,swap(order is important)

After installing Swapper2 from market i directed it to use my swap partition via advanced settings.

The swap default path i.e "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" gave errors like 'No such directory exists"

So i set it to "/dev/block/vold/179:3"(3-third partition)

then set swapper to start at start-up ,boot into recovery,fix permissions(don't skip this),reboot system.

and Viola swap partition was mounted!:cool:

To check swap,type free in terminal.

Thought this would help someone.
[GT540 Optimus General] MeAt.HoOk:
I tried the method above but i coudnt get my swapper2 to point to the external partition. Would be obliged if someone helped me on this issue ..

Also, please can you tell me how to make swapper2 work,

I have the following order "fat32/swap", parted on my sd card.

Am new to the forums. please guide me.. :)

Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Cheers!

easy. pls upgrade from m6 to rc1 or rc2 then the swap will enable automatically(there is a command in the rom no settings needed) :D to check use terminal emulator, in the terminal type "free" and all the swap mem and stuff will pop out :D
[GT540 Optimus General] MeAt.HoOk:
Thanx for the reply bro .. Also .. As you advised, I upgraded to RC1.

So i want to get the following doubts clear,

> Now that i have upgraded to RC1, do i need to install Swapper2 ?

> Will just partitioning my card as fat32/swap work ?

> Do need to do anything to make the swap partition to work ?

> If the TERMINAL shows up SWAP space, does it mean that the SWAP space is working ? .....

Am a real noob when it comes to SWAP partitions ..! :mad:

best is to backup sdcard stuff on computer and then remove all partitions. then go to recovery, partition sdcard, choose size and swap size. powerdown phone put stuff back in sdcard, reboot, in terminal type free and you should see

-----total--------used-----free

swap:XXXXXX--- XXXXX---XXXXXX

well the XXXXX is different from phone to phone and there should be numbers

[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
?

How unstable is the the .swp file method?
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
never got to try but i think the recovery method is the best :D
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
.swp method is a bit unstable as you require to unmount swap before you connect usb.....also the swap file. Swp gets mounted after your cell starts while swap partition is mounted during boot itself which is more convenient and fast.
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
> Now that i have upgraded to RC1, do i need to install Swapper2 ?

No you wont require swapper unless you want to change swappiness.....which is set to 30 default in RC1 ......i prefer 10.

> Will just partitioning my card as fat32/swap work ?

Yes it would.

> Do need to do anything to make the swap partition to work ?

No it would load/mount itself during boot.

> If the TERMINAL shows up SWAP space, does it mean that the SWAP space is working ? Yes
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Substitute 179:3 by 179:2 as your 2 nd partition is swap.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
you should make a thread teaching people how to enable swap using recovery :D
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Thats what this thread is about;)
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
too messy :rolleyes:

YAY 100 POST SENIOR MEMBER LOL
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Usefull for some......that purely an individual call.
[GT540 Optimus General] thugimmortal:
What does swappiness mean is greater better?

Greater number = more swap memory

Can someone explain and tell me the file to edit in cm7 to set swappiness
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Edit file in text editor. ....path system/etc/init.d/07swapon.

By default it is set to 30/60 in rc1/rc2 respectively.

Swapiness 10 is stable for me.

And yes greater the number more it swaps.
[GT540 Optimus General] kosang:
Thank you for sharing this.

I did just as you said, but it keeps on telling me that "invalid argument",

however, it also said that "enabling swap partition OK" and "formating swap partition OK".

So.....did I make it?

or I failed?

and what is "boot into recovery,fix permissions"?

I use ROM Manager and flash Clockword Mod Recovery, I can't see where to fix permission?
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
1.update busybox via swapper application.(even if you have an upto date busy box)

2.Open terminal and put in the following commands-

Su

Free

If swap partion is activated it will show the size of swap partion ,else zero.

3.Rom manager!! I don't think you own optimus Gt540.
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
swap size

which swap size is recommended for most smoothness ?

or shouldn't i use swap for better performance ?

please help
[GT540 Optimus General] simon194:
The normal rule of thumb with Linux systems if to set the swap to about the size of RAM, 128MB will be more than adequate. Also a fast SD card helps such as a Class 6 or 10.
[GT540 Optimus General] Jiesheshuai:
Finally. It also works on sgy&duos.
[GT540 Optimus General] robzware:
can i ask?

how bout edit on galaxy mini stock rom?

my SGM 2.3.6 Stock Romand my sd card using 3 partitions. but it doesn't work using "/dev/block/vold/179:3"(3-third partition). my swap file still 0 on terminal

tq
[GT540 Optimus General] Hellboybazinga:
thanks :D
[GT540 Optimus General] untorched:
What is best swap method? Is .swp file is faster than swap partition with using swapon?
[GT540 Optimus General] sanmit:
Swap partition is fastest.
[GT540 Optimus General] FenixxPl:
untorched - As sanmit said, swap partition is the fastest, but still every method slows down (at least a bit) your phone.

2nd link put in the browser and it'll take you to the download link

Any developer want to take a look at the test ROM leaked and see if we can port sense 3.0 over?

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS! THIS IS NOT A ROM! IT NEEDS TO BE PORTED OVER!

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hecatomb:
I don't care for Sense, but that clock seems cool... I'll rip 'er open and see what works.

Edit: wow... slow download on 367MB... I guess I'll work on it in 2 hours when it's done DL'ing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Agreed. I enjoy stock much better. But I wouldn't mind trying out Sense 3.0 just to see how much different it is. But it'll never replace my stock experience lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sdorn77:
From what I've read in the reviews, the coolest thing about 3.0 is the customizable lockscreen. I wouldn't mind getting that ported over if it will work on our devices.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Chopes:
+1 for more options, never a bad thing ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Yeah I heard that was super cool. That would be sweet with the stock screen off animation ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hecatomb:
Guh... DL stalled out and won't start again...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skillzo1:
Lock screen...gallery and weather animations. Need it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmntruexjr:
Did you try un-installing and re-installing? The only time i ever had that issue was when i accidently fixed permissions during a rom flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt18:
I have unistalled and reistalled a few of the problematic apps and it didn't fix anything. I guess it's time to update to FF 2.9 anyways. Might as well start with a clean slate.

The weird thing is that it worked fine all day yesterday and nothing was changed on the device that I can remember.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I would suggest updating to 2.9, also rom manager and atk are not needed at all, so there are 2 problems fixed...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrT69:
Currently I try to port a ROM to HD2 but I have some small issues.

I'm using the O2 Desire ROM which can be used without (!) modify somethin within the package.

I'm even using the original RAMDISK and KERNEL and the device will boot, come up and you can use the installation just nearly without any problems.

BUT...

I have no phone or WLAN Option. The phone option is not working and WLAN comes up with error. I have had changed the kernel and ramdisk because I was thinking that this causes the problem. But the phone and WLAN Option is still not working.

Can someone give tell me what files are required for PHONE and WLAN when you port the ROM??

How is the RIL-WRAPER working on the HD2??

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgrey1701:
As per the title, is it possible to hide the activity/notification bar from the bottom of the screen, particularly when viewing movies or playing games?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:
I would assume so, but it might have to be done by the app that you're using. It does so in the Youtube app, it makes the buttons disappear and replaces them with tiny dark dots so I would assume that as a dev, someone could do the same. But I dont recall there being an option to do it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bo4e:
No?

I don't think so, however devs can move it, like in the game Spirit, they place it on the left so it's as though you're getting more screen space. However, I don't think you can fully remove it, as it's the main way of navigating the device. Hope this helps! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
The dots are called lights out mode

you can use gesture control to hide the bottom bar

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerm1027:
I just upgraded to the Epic 4G :D

Running SyndicatedROM Frozen 1.1 and it does everything

Now, what to do with my old phone...

Needless to say, my old phone is the HTC Hero CDMA, and it is no longer connected. :( Really sad since it's a perfectly good phone. I've been having trouble re-gifting to my friends because they are too cheap for Sprint, and they don't like the concept of texting on a (small) touch-screen phone.

I have been using it as my primary music player to off-load the battery drain on my Epic. However, it bugs me to use it *just* as a music player. With that said, what are some other uses for a disconnected Hero?

BTW - I'm running CyanogenMod7 rc4. And before you mention it, I know the stable release is out. I'll get around to it... eventually. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritcrusher33:
I use mine as a remote for my XMBC media player ( converted acer revo ) I can view all my media and tv shows etc on the hero's screen.. its nice..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoMatt:
I have an old deactivated one that I use for mostly a music player / newsreader / game player on the road. It also occasionally functions as a remote for my PC/TV and a testbed for ROMs that I don't want to flash on my new Hero. (The old one got dropped in the snow and the speaker no longer works; though the headphone jack works fine... hence the replacement).

I have thought about getting a VoIP client set up on it (not sure if Google Voice would work with a deactivated phone or not) to use as a "home phone".

It does seem like a shame, though, huh? All that wasted glory.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerm1027:
I just use mine for music. I found that the Hero doesn't work well as a gaming device since it lacks a decent GPU, and reading is fairly difficult, especially now that I'm use to to the Epic. In speaking of test beds, do you have any ROM recommendations for me? I'm looking for something lightweight; just for music, and a back-up phone.:cool:

That would be a great idea! :) I'll look into it. The Hero was great while it lasted. The perfect alternative to the iPhone that wasn't buggy as hell *cough,cough**Moment!**cough*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoMatt:
The gingerbread ROM builds started out as awesome and have only gotten better. I run aosp's 3/26 build with the s0be 2.6.35 #5 kernel on both of my Hero's and it is a million times snappier and stable than stock ever was. The 3/26 build is very small and let's you choose which Google apps to install, so it can be kept pretty lean.

Otherwise I'll just flash a new ROM on the old one first to test it out before putting it on my new one.

Yeah yeah yeah... :D I should upgrade. I really should.

Another suggestion for music; if you're short on sd card space and will have WiFi access with your Hero, check out Subsonic music streamer. It lets you stream your music through the web and they have an Android app.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nsandhu23:
That's a sweet idea and thanks for the app too. Hopefully the EVO 3d doesn't use too much of my SD card memory but ill keep my hero for experimental purposes. Because I plan on learning how to fully theme Roms this summer , so the Hero will be a good experimenting phone.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[Nexus S General] MistaJae:
Hi all,

I am having trouble with my Nandroid backups.

Basically, whenever I restore a backup it only restores the Rom in its stock state. None of my apps or data get restored. I first noticed after I tried miui & decided to go back to cm7.

I'm using CWM 3.0.0.0 to backup & restore.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] suksit:
The latest version of CWM is 3.0.0.5, I guess you should start with that.
[Nexus S General] MistaJae:
Thanks. I didn't know there was a newer CWM. Just updated via Rom manager (which I've never used b4), so I'll give that a try. If it don't work, i'll have to set up my phone all over again *sigh*
[Nexus S General] knytphal:
It could also be a bad nandroid backup. I've had that happen in the past too. It's a little disheartening when you have to go back three months to find a nandroid that works. :(
[Nexus S General] MistaJae:
I installed CWM 3.0.0.5 via Rom manager. Now I have no cwm at all! I only have the Android recovery *frustrated*

I'm gonna flash the latest CWM manually, then test out Nandroid backup/restore.
[G Tablet General] bclinton1:
Got my woot gtab last night. Flashed it and all is great. Took it to work this morning to show it off. Fell off the counter with the charger plugged in. Broke the port inside the gtab. Took the cover off and it appears to be soldered on the main board. Is there any other device that will charge the Gtab besides the wall charger? I have basically ruined it on day one? Do the cocking ports charge. I would buy one if I knew it would charge it.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
You can try calling View-sonic and explain to them what happened and see if they can help you out some way or another.. Doesn't hurt to give it a try..
[G Tablet General] fp99:
I just got mine yesterday, so I'm not 100% sure about this. I believe you can use the USB cable to charge the g tablet.
[G Tablet General] bclinton1:
From what I understand you cant. My next step was to find a dock that charges through the port on the bottom.
[G Tablet General] rancidcrab:
The dock will charge it. USB will not.
[G Tablet General] beebop483:
Don't worry! just send an email to Woot customer support and tell them you need to exchange the tablet because the battery isn't charging. Something similar happened to me, and I sent woot an email on Monday, I found out today that my replacement will arrive tomorrow, and I just need to mail back the original.
[G Tablet General] bcampbe7:
You could contact Woot or Viewsonic, but since you dropped the gTab and broke the connector, I doubt they can/will help.

Buy the dock here and you will be able to charge your gTab:

http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_10
[G Tablet General] bclinton1:
Well I tried that and they responded back that they dont have one to send and for me to send it in for a refund. I will probably go ahead and keep it. Hopefully there will be more charging options soon that I can use. I went ahead and ordered the docking station though.
[G Tablet General] chon2617:
its an easy fix with a soldering iron. broke mine the same way. be cautious opening that bad boy though...
[G Tablet General] bclinton1:
Ya I noticed that. I had the cover off already. Is the motherboard difficult to remove? Everytime I seem to do something like this is never goes back the way it is supposed to :)
[G Tablet General] HomemadeCody:
I would take them up on their refund offer, and then buy another G-tablet from Amazon for $5 cheaper! I checked today and they are selling them for $280 w/ free shipping. Woot's deal is not so hot after seeing that!
[G Tablet General] chon2617:
if you want to do it, unscrew the case with the 4 screws located under the rubber stops. pop off the plastic case (carefully), you'll see the motherboard on the right side. take the screws out that connect the motherboard and you'll see the connector easily. You don't have to take the mb out completely, just enough to see the connector. solder that baby in there and good as new!

given, i was taking a chance when i popped that sucker open, but mine works just fine now. good luck!

oh yeah, dont drop it again. i learned that too.
[G Tablet General] rayw796:
Viewsonic Service

I had my port just fall apart internally. There was no drop, no mishandling at all.

Received an RMA from Viewsonic and sent it in. Received a call from them that they thought it was abuse because the little middle pin was broken off. Don't know yet what they are going to do.

It is obviously a precarious port with the long thin male portion that doesn't seat completely in. It is begging to be broken off if you use the G Tab plugged in at all.

I will advise on what Viewsonic finally does.

EDIT 6/17/11: Received my G Tab back day before yesterday. They repaired the port under warranty after 3 calls trying to tell me it was abused. They did flash 4349 ROM and 1.2 bootloader and cleared sdcard of all data. I had to nvflash back to 3588 to load back to VegaN Ginger Edition.
[G Tablet General] bclinton1:
Good luck. I agree - the port was poorly made. I took mine apart and tried to solder a connector back on. There was just not enough for it to be reliably attached. I did get my dock in and use it to charge now. Its not too bad just cost another $50.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icase81:
So, I'm using JD Ultimate. It works great and I'm now having 60%+ battery left after 15 hours of moderate usage. I have an issue with some alert SMS messages from work where they're over 1KB, so I get the [DOWNLOAD] button. With mobile data off, you can't download them. I'm assuming its because T-Mobile only allows access to those servers to devices registered on their network as a security thing, and that makes sense. Now, when I try to enable mobile data in order to get the entire message, it turns on, connects and then JD immediately turns it back off.

I can't find anywhere in the settings to fix this. Any ideas?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yes and yes. It's really just a matter of reflashing the ROM. You may have to do it a couple times for it to take but eventually it will. Also, try a battery pull after one of the flashes, sometimes that helps.

1. it goes into recovery

2. If I do manage to get into bootloader the PC tries to reinstall the drivers which it fails to do hence 'adb devices' doesn't come up with any results.
