This happened to me also. I posted about it earlier in the thread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ridobe:
In light of recent posts by Adrynalyn, whom I trust, I don't think there is a doubt that it makes a difference on my phone. My question is to anyone but specifically to Imoseyon and Droidth3ory. I am considering getting a class 10 sd card and would like to set this up to run on that. I saw on Imos' blog that the current sd card (class 4 I believe) is slower than flash memory and that is why he chose to use emmc. Would it be worth it? Would it be simple to do? I'm sure I could modify Imos' files in order to do that but could it be possible to have a separate version to do just that? Also, wouldn't that eliminate having to establish swap at every kernel change? I'm sure you would have to enable it still, but not re-create?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
Wow... A real question? I thought this thread has turned into quotes from niche', name calling, and comments from one 8 year old cussing because mommy and daddy aren't around to hear him.

:)

To get back ON TOPIC and (try) to answer your question.

It is perfectly feesable that editing to have the swap be created on the SD Card will work just fine. Right now I am not sure what the speed differences between the flash mem and a Class 10 are but.....

As for recreating after kernel changes, etc... I would assume that to be true. There would be others around here that may be able to answer that with some certainty.

:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Class 10 would be faster but.... it's been my experience that these devices are lucky to write at class 6.

My class 10 card that reliably performs in a different phone tops out at class4 in this one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bokechukwu1:
Quick question everytime you flash a different kernel do you have to recreate the swap file? Like do the steps all over again and everything
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew8806:
I have a thought, how about you flamers quit flaming and bring good ideas... keep the garbage off XDA please and thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Daswolven:
I haven't seen a phone utilize better than 6, even 1080p video recording. Class 10 I reserve for my high end digital cameras.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ridobe:
So what I'm reading is that class six would be adequate. What are the write speeds compared to emmc?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Samsung Fascinate utilizes class 10.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
I did purchase a 32GB Class 10 card from Lexar. It writes on average (per SD Tools app...so however accurate that actually is) at 9.8 mb/s.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Daswolven:
Lol. Well I suppose I should know that one, but I never saw it in testing on mine. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stedrocklp:
Thanks for this mod. I had a little trouble getting it to work but after some quick thinking everything seems to be working. Here is a pic of my T-Bolt with swap up and running.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sublimaze:
Yep, you're golden
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Araya213:
Wow cheers man this made my phone really flippin' fast!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Araya213:
I do think there is legitimacy to the concern about EMMC wear obviously. I would like to remove my swap partition for now. Can someone provide me with the instructions to undo this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Adrynalyne are you using swap?

Just curious what you think about adding swap to your rom?

From the read seems like a good plan.

Cheers,
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
Honestly, I don't condone it. I won't stop anyone from trying it though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Thanks for your input and your hard work.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] fronc:
Tried swap over the weekend. I have to be honest and objective here.. I really didnt experience any difference in performance. As such, I've disabled it. To each, his own, and YMMV, but this is just my objective opinion after a few days.

Using BAMF 2.0-5 with leankernel OC'd to 1.22ghz, for the record.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
Thanks, makes me more likely to setup swap to try this out, was holding off otherwise.

Seems some like it, while others don't recommend. So being a fellow GB crack addict flasher will try it, probably....

I must be doing something wrong, but for the life of me I can't tell.

I've been working on getting swap for the last 2 hours or so, and end up with tons of battery pulls or swap showing 0's across the board.

I'm using lightning rom 3.2

The very first time I got 0 on all swaps. Based on the recommendations in this thread I would try the alternate step 4 which would cause my phone to freeze at "creating swap please wait..." for over 10 minutes before a battery pull. I played around with other kernels and in a last ditch effort did a final restore and tried the steps listed again and got back to the same place of swaps showing 0. I emailed myself the most recent command lines which are copy pasted below.

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$su

# free

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 611532 520360 91172 0 15380

-/+ buffers: 504980 106552

Swap: 0 0 0

#

(I didn't bother trying to format it nicely or anything)

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
You may just have to wait a bit. When your phone first turns on it will show 0 until it starts allocating memory to it. Start up a bunch of different apps and wait like 30 min before trying "free" again and see if it still shows 0.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otakueric:
didnt realize it could take that long, i just tested it by running some apps in the background for a few minutes. ill give it a hard load for 30 minutes and check back in
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
You already ran these commands correct?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dajogejr:
I thought the kernal, not the ROM, dictated the ability to run Swap...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
Good point, never thought to ask him that lol. Are you running one of Imoseyon's kernels, or any kernel that allows SWAP?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otakueric:
been 20 minutes since my last post, and longer since my initial post.

still all 0's
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otakueric:
Yes I ran that command,

and I tried multiple including imoseyons.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otakueric:
ok i figured it out. just got bitter and started playing around with the speedtweak.sh and either found a lucky setting or just coincidence fell together.

thanks all
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
Tried step 4, and the alternative to step 4, and I still got the same error about not being able to access /data/imoseyon/blahblahblah

I am sad face. I have it working on my older kernel but not 3.0.1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djbeanpole:
Hmm scratch that... I just ran step 4 again and it worked. No more 0's. Magic!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wbvczar:
Does using a swap file have any effect on battery life?

I was getting great battery life (ThunderROM 1.0 and Imo's 2.5.1 kernel), then I updated to Imo's 2.6.0 kernel and added a swap file. After that my battery life worsened. I have gone back to the 2.5.1 kernel and removed the swap file to see if things improve again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dlnp22:
I DO realize every phone is made differently. And mine was apparently made to not like teh swap. Ever since setting up last week, just all sorts of silliness. Freezes, slow opening of apps. Phone dialer getting stuck. Had my first reboot EVER since purchasing back when it was released.

I envy those who have benefited from this.

However, can someone please tell me how to remove all traces of it?

So is all of this stuff still good with the newer kernels? I'm running the dream kernel which is believe is based off of imoseyons kernels for GB. Let me know so I can give this a go.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BoulderGeek:
I did this today (7/26/11) on my Thunderbolt running DasBAMF 1.8.6. Followed the instructions on page 1 exactly, with the exception that when I `su` i use `su -` to pull all of root's environment variables.

Worked great. I went from 200Mb free swap to 400Mb.

Will evaluate to see if i get more problems or not. As a former NeXT, Sun and Linux systems admin, i understand the value of swap for legacy *NIX memory management on a philosophical and practical level.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
I tried SWAP today. I'm on Liquid Gingersense 1.6. Its a great rom but every once in a while I would get some lag. So far this has cured it. I'll report back if anything gets worse.

On another note, is there any type of maintenance that needs to be done to keep this working properly?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
For the most part swap did cure my lag. I still get a tiny bit on a rare occasion but nowhere near what I did before. Also, I can't really say that it made actions on my phone more snappy but it definitely didn't hurt anything. Quick question.....are download speeds supposed to increase big time with swap or could it just be a coincidence? My normal download speeds were 10-15 mbps depending on the server I used. After swap I was seeing a minimum of 15 and saw all the way up to 26 mbps. Thats a crazy increase! Thanks to those that brought us swap. It made a big difference on my phones overall performance.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] johnnysyeah:
So I just installed this. First thing I noticed is that my lock screen is a lot smoother. Obviously, I've used the lock screen a million times and I always notice a hint of delay/lag. But after I followed the OP's instructions and left my phone on for 5 minutes for it to settle, the lock screen is a lot smoother; can't even sense any hint of lag. I'll have to see how it affects my battery life though, since that's the most important factor for me. My battery life has been giving me on average 15 hours of juice from 100% to 5%; with a new record of 21 hours @ 1% last night. Let's see how it does with the SWAP tweak ;)

Well post back later with updates.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] johnnysyeah:
Looks like my battery life isn't doing too well. About 8 hours only on one full charge. Wonder why.

Anywho, I ran the remove command and rebooted my phone.

But when I use the free command, I still show numbers for swap.

It's supposed to show all 0's if it's removed, right?

LTB v2.6; Imoseyon's lean kernel: battsaver mode.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ercDROID:
I'm getting great battery life but had great battery life before swap. Imoseyons 3.5 lean kernel on extreme. I have the 2750 battery and easily get 48 hours with normal to heavy usage. On liquid gingersense 1.6. I never had luck on the battery saver mode.

I accidentally deleted the htc clock and i am having problems trying to get it back. I have pushed the apk with root explorer and adb, and i have tried it with and without the odex file. does any body know if there is another way besides flashing the rom, because the rom automatically wipes data
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Push it then make sure you set the correct permissions then reboot the phone. Should be as simple as that. Make sure you push the .odex as well and that also has the correct permissions.

Edit FIX: Just in case anyone runs to this problem down the road.

Titanium developer e-mailed me back. Best thing to do is to delete the Titanium Backup folder within the sd card root and that's it! (You can use any file explorer, I used Astro).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Try pressing Menu > Filters, then click Clear then Apply.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Wiping data for the app should've done that, as should reinstalling, but it wouldn't hurt.

If you need an older version check the TB website, you can find it on the market page. You can also try emailing the dev, he's helpful and may have some insight into your problem.

Aside from one version a couple of updates back, I've had zero problems with the app. I do know that one update required you to update the pro key as well, but I don't know if the older version requires the older key or if either will work.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subiegsr:

Also tried installing an older version, from the link on the developer's site. Didn't work, I'll try e-mailing the developer again. Thanks for the help everyone.

[Verizon Droid Charge] s2-12-29-67:
Hi all, new to posting but a long time lurker. I have read nearly every post and am left with some basic questions regarding the Charge. I have successfully rooted/rom'ed/kernel'ed a G1 and a G Tab in the past, and I feel like I had some idea of what was going on with those devices and corresponding processes.

With the Charge, not so much. I feel like I am missing one tiny bit of information that will make this whole thing click. My end goal is to get to a rooted, ED2, debloated, deodexed, Voodoo'ed rom. I don't care for the color scheme, but I can live with it. I like some of the Altered Beast mod screenshots, but overall prefer a fast, optimized and as close as a phone can be to AOSP build at this point.

So how to go about that? (my guesses follow):

Step 1: Make a backup (with what?)

Step 2: Gingerbreak

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103361

Step 3: ??????

Step 4: Flash Imnuts 5-27-11 Debloated v4 rom (with what do I flash?) CWM? ODIN? Heimdall?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094304

Step 5: Flash jt1134's Root Voodoo Lagfix CWM recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092114

It seems like I am adding perm root in step 2, step 4, and step 5. I am adding a non-stock recovery in Step 5.

Do I have the order essentially correct? Does it matter that I am rooting it more than once?

Once I have gotten to this voodoo'ed, rooted, ed2, CWM state, how do I get back to my backup made in step 1? Can I get back to this point without a brick/bootloop? I know there is something in the forum about RFS to EXT4 and back again. Maybe I need to return the device. Maybe I want an OTA Gingerbread in the future (ha, yeah). Regardless, I would like to know if there is a known way to get back to stock regardless of the ODINs, Heimdalls, CWMs used to get away from it. (I know this is a contentious issue right now and may not be fully addressed at this point.)

I am trying to go back through all of the threads one at a time and would like to eventually put together a FAQ pointing to specific thread responses for answers. Any interest? Keep in mind that I would only be organizing what has already been put down "on paper" in the forum, not attempting to answer things. Given my questions above, that would not turn out well...

Thanks all for any replies.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
You need to get rooted first to backup anything. There is already a copy of a Stock Rooted ED1 downgrade from ED2 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1085190 so unless you must have your own backup then its good to go. If you want your own, you need to root ED1 and back it up. Update to ED2, apply jt1134's root/kernel/cwm then flash imnuts debloated ED2 V4. At least that is what I think you need to do.

I already have the stock rooted ED1 file saved, now I just need to flash jt1134's file then decide on which ROM or remove the bloat myself.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
I believe Step 3 should be update to ED2.

Step 4 is flashed, if i remember correctly I used odin. Gonna have to back-step myself and remember for a sec...

And i believe I did Step 5 at step 4 and step 4 at step 5.
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Yeah, odin is used to flash for windows. I'd have to use heimdall if you are on OS X.

I'm running the rooted, official version of GB on my DX (no rom) and whenever I exit out of an app and back to my home screen it takes like 5-10 seconds for my Agenda Widget to render. Annoying to say the least.

Anyone else having this issue? Is there a solution?

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking this may be an ADW issue, which worked great on FROYO.

May have to check it out with LauncherPro to compare.
[Droid X General] itsyourboyerik:
i'm on a non-rooted DX with OTA Gingerbread downloaded and I'm having issues with LauncherPro being slow and often times force closing on me. Maybe MotoBlur isn't playing well with other Homescreen apps? :confused:
[Droid X General] monstercojones:
I had the same issue... I noticed a severe lag and then eventual Force Close - Blank Screen situation using LauncherPro on a rooted DX after the Gingerbread update.

Is anyone else having issues with LP and Gingerbread too?
[Droid X General] itsyourboyerik:
i went on launcherpro forums on their site and few people are having issues with the force closing as well after GB update. glad to know i'm not the only one having this issue. i've sent out errror reports through my phone so hopefully there'll be a quick bug fix for this.
[Droid X General] bluxart:
My girlfriend had this issue too. I didn't update, since I'm waiting for a rootable OTA(which judging by the OP, there is one now?), and for the first 5 minutes, her phone was locking up because of Launcher Pro. I couldn't do anything, because any touch on the screen would then cause Launcher Pro to stop responding. Force quitting just gave her a blank screen. Luckily, after 2 battery pulls, it stopped force closing and seems to be working just fine now.

OP, can you point me in the direction for the root hack for the recent OTA?
[Droid X General] Pink_Panther2121:
I updated to GB via OTA and haven't had a single issue with my launcher or any of my apps freezing.
[Droid X General] Nate2:
The stock motorblur launcher in GB occupies much more memory than it did in Froyo.

Could this be causing a contention for resources if you have multiple launchers installed?
[Droid X General] Laramie1997:
I had issues with Launcher myself, but if you go in and tweak settings about how Launcher handles screens such as transition speeds and extra visual effects, you can speed it up quite a bit and I haven't had anymore force close issues (knock on wood)

Now to figure out the Gallery's issues. "sigh"
