any way?? its possible??
[XPERIA X8 General] Yperion:
Yes it is, but someone must build a kernel module that enables swap support... Maybe slade or nobodyatall could make it...
[XPERIA X8 General] firdausmbois:
hahaha... thats extreeme dude.....
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
First:

It's not ram - it's swap.

Second:

It's pointless if you have slow sd card. (You'll experience just preformance drop) class 6 minimum.

Third:

We need a dev to discuss with. Not bunch of samrt-asesses :p "We need to do this, we need to that" - do it than.

Point of this post: thread is useless.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Well, i'm pretty new to android, so, what is swap used for, isn't it like the virtual memory from windows?
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Are you referring to windows swap file? It's sort of the same, only hdds are faster than SD cards and not as easily broken. Also, the unused background processes in windows are put into swap file (if there is a lack of RAM memory), and no currently used process will ever be put in a swap file (unless it is so much RAM consuming that it actually takes all the memory available), because it would be too slow :)

So, swap in windows is a folder for unused processes, not the current ones, and it could be used as such in android's case, but SD cards are slower and more vulnerable, therefore making it far more pointless :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Johnik.Afroman:
This thread is begining to be a pile of mess.

You are mixing two different things together. Swap is basically part of virtual memory thing. Virtual memory DOESN'T give you more memory, it's used to "make running process think" it uses all your memory, instead just part of it.

Example: You have 4 GB ram free after startup, you open media player which wants 1GB of RAM, then you run game which wants 3.5 GB of RAM, so processes, which aren't running at the time(parts of media player) are swapped from your RAM into your virtual memory (= to HDD), to free RAM. Thats it, its not like you have 32 MB RAM in your PC, you create virtual memory of 8 GB on your HDD and you run Crysis 2.

So even if you enable swapping/virtual memory, you wont have more RAM, it would mean that you could multi-task better (=run more small applications).

Don't think that the negative voices mean that we don't need more RAM.
[XPERIA X8 General] racht:
Admins, please close this useless thread.

Whoever opened it is a TROLL.

He did not provide any solutions, but rather opened troll-hole in Dev section.

If possible, ban the user who opens this kind of scams
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
hey, really sorry for posting in dev section, i will ask an Moderator to move the thread. FYI i don't know how to develop in android, and i didn't find any tutorials that i could understand. I just wanted to point out that we could speed up our devices by adding them ram through SD ram, but as Graveir said, it would be useless and Swap is not the same as ram, and i understood that, so no need to call me an troll m8, i just don't know many things about android....Also thanks to Johnik.Afroman for explaining me even more about virtual memory :) also, racht i respect your work on X8 roms, and i don't think i was trolling, i was just telling people that it would be better for our device's performance if we had SWAP

Is there any way to set a non standard ringtone for text notifications? Setting them up as normal ringtones is not a problem but I seem to only have standard alerts to choose from for text notifications. And I don't really like them.
[Defy General] MrBelter:
open the text app and go to the settings and the notification settings are down the page
[Defy General] XtorT69:
I know that. Maybe I didn't explain properly. I want to set a tone that

I installed not one of the default ones.:o
[Defy General] madhuranand007:
You should have root privelage for this and If ur defy is ROOTED than :

1. Use Root explorer

2. Go to /system/media

3. /Audio/notification.

4. copy your desired ringtone here.

5. Now close root explorer and may be you can restart the phone.

6. NOW ur ringtone appear in notification in settings>>Sound>>Notification tone ;)

Njoy !!!
[Defy General] m0nk3e:
Root is not needed. On the sd card make these:

Media/Audio/Ringtones

Media/Audio/Notifications

and put your favorite sounds in it.

Having an issue with my htc desire (it has a stock desire rom)

Basically when my phone goes to sleep the screen remains blank and I cannot seem to get the screen active

when I try to wake up the device as per norm the buttons light up however the screen remains blank..

the phone still seems functional (volume works, etc) however it does not respond to being 'woken up'

I have have done all sorts to try and resolve the problem, this includes checking sd card for errors, resetting phone.

Im a loss to what could be causing this, the phone is a right pain to use now, I go on a call and then screen dims but never recovers, however can still continue with the call.

I have to pull out the battery and restart the phone to have the screen 'wake'

I have looked at these threads of people with similar issues but no one has put up a solution.

Tried testing the sd card for errors still have the problem.

Different SD card still have the problem

I tested it with the sd card removed and still have the same problem.

In airplane mode I still have the problem

With different sim I still have the problem

Tried two new roms, still have the problem (previous to this I had not changed roms in months).

Any ideas? How did other people fix this?

Strangely though after leaving it overnight it woke once the first time this morning. Now back to not waking.

Please help

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioxmario:
As I said it happens whether or not there is an SD card in the phone. And with different SD cards so I do not see how it could be an SD card problem.

Fixed it now. I took it apart then put it back together.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delaba:
I have similar problem here...

Our case is that we can't wake a phone after deep sleep..Touch screen is just not responding. We can see a caller (when somebody is calling) and screen but touch screen is not responding.

After we lock it and unlock it again via Power button, all is just fine...

We caused that by disassembling and assembling the Phone..There was some dust behind digitizer, so we had to clean it...

There must be some strange thing that is not behaving as it should when U proceed

to disassembling and assembling..

So Guys out there...be carefully and think twice before you make decision to disassemble your Desire...

[Desire General] Shiftone:
I want to mess about with roms and ruus a bit this afternoon but want to be able to restore back to the phones current state afterwards.

Phone is Rooted, S-off, Amon-ra, Oxygen 2.1.2 using ext3

I have a spare SD card so I can pull the one that is in there at the moment to preserve its contents and use a second for testing.

I'm intending to flash a RUU to go back to stock unrooted s-on - mostly out of curiosity.

What backups will i need to ensure that at the end of my testing I can restore to oxygen with my currently installed setup, apps and data intact.

I also assume I'll need to re-root and s-off.
[Desire General] daddyspud:
If u make a backup n then flash a ruu u will need to root ur device n s off again else ur backup will not work hope this helps

But u can just make a Android backup in recovery

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
[Desire General] jordan.harris01:
Yea, take a NANDroid back up before this whole process. Once you flash the RUU you will lose root and s-off. You'll need to re-root and s-off (if you want that) then you can just flash the backup from recovery. Though make sure you're restoring the backup with the same Recovery version that you created it with.

Normally, when I restart my phone it just reboots with the normal boot animation, but this morning when I rebooted it took longer than usual and the phone had a screen that said, "System checking." but it eventually booted fine.

Anyone ever see this? Also after, my battery is depleting at like 10% every 30 min with the phone just idle.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
What android version do you have? Do you have the official 2.2 or stock 2.1? Or did you use Cyanogen mod to update? The Aria is capable of playing mp4 videos on its own as I said in my first post.

The Aria requires very specific specifications for MP4, or else it will not play.

Rockplayer tries hard to play the video, but plays it extremely sluggish, like 1 frame per second or so.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batisax1:
Try yxplayer it works fine ...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plade:
I tried different players and saw that most of the players work the same way. They all play the same files and cannot play the other ones.

Except Moboplayer, which played a 900mb AVI file very well, with synchronized audio, video and subs.

So it seems Moboplayer is a good option. Although on Aria it's a >10mb phone memory hog.

improved report sighting page

improved FAQs - maybe a "What is the aurora" page

improved Twitter feed

I will hopefully (once I have permission from the appropriate sources) be making locale specific versions for the US, Canada (and Alaska), Australia and New Zealand. Other European countries are unlikely to get a different locale since they're either too low in latitude or can just use the UK data.

Many thanks!
