Not unless the bootloader is cracked.

The swap file does not work that way. Swap is used to augment the RAM. The X8 has:

1. RAM space - memory to run programs in. ~176MB

2. ROM space - Internal Storage - ~212 MB

3. External Storage - Your SD Card.

You can, theoretically, use up your entire RAM to run an app. The Android System, has a "smart (???, others might disagree :D)" way fo handling tasks in which it "caches" background apps until they are called again. Although this is also periodically cleared. But some apps are required to stay in RAM, these are responisible for keeping your phone working.

Google "Android VM manager " and the "Android Memory Manager" if you want to learn more. :D

In short, having a larger RAM or using a swap file will just "imrpove" multitasking performance. notice that i put the word "improve" in qoutes. :D :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 General] SpyderX:
Honestly, I've tried on Froyobread v015, and it lagged the whole rom down like sh!t >.<. After removing it was I able to have a decent fps. You can try it for yourself by using swapper on the android market or CWM recovery :) .
[XPERIA X8 General] viper001:
Did you verify it was working. Open up the terminal app and type in "free" without th quotes. It would show you the disposition of your RAM. :-) if swap is zero then its not working.

I noticed that my volume rocker is a bit loose. You can feel how loose it is when you press on it or move it up and down (not even depressing it). And when you shake the phone, you can definitely hear it rattle.

Is this normal?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Parastie:
I'm currently looking for information on users who have front facing camera on generic chinese tablets. I have an EM73, TCC8803 based tablet but I believe any tablet that's currently in the line of Emdoor/Telechips based tablets could benefit from this thread. And in the long run, hopefully any device with a front facing camera.

The issue is Video Chat. As i'm sure everyone has tried, the camera app works great! But, if you use another video chat program such as gtalk or Qik, then the other person will see a very downgraded video. If you (currently) try the Skype 2.0 hacks, you'll see no video at all.

It appears to me that the video chat programs are making a specific call in Android 2.3.x for video chat abilities (I've only gotten gtalk to work in 2.3.3, Qik works in 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 but video quality is the same).

Does any know where this request is and maybe how it could be modified? Also, has anyone tried another video chat program that worked better?

I hope we can get better video quality, as the TCC8803 chip should have no problems with an upgraded video out stream. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here's my blue themed systemUI.apk, framework_res.apk and swype.apk for Continuum v6.1.

UOT cooked framework and systemUI with some icons for the pull down menu and text changed in the systemUI and framework files too. Modded lock screens for the rotary, android, puzzle, R2D2, and Four Tab unlock screens. Animated Blue Battery version M, animated pull down drawer background, Android Bubbles boot animation, blue icons everywhere.

The wallpaper, home screen icons, etc. are not part of this. They are parts of GingerFire's Blue Icon Pack along with Launcher Pro Plus and Continuum wallpaper.

Install through the recovery menu.

Clear the dalvik cache.

Be sure you go to "mounts and storage" and mount system and data or you won't get any changes.

The boot animation file will not overwrite the stock one, you have to extract sanim.zip from system, media in the dl'ed zip then go to system, media and paste it in overwriting (unless you change the originals name) the original sanim.zip

This is a work in progress.

Don't change the name of the zip or it won't flash!

So far I've used Lite'ning ROM and am currently using Cognition 1.07.

Liten'ning was themed pretty nicely, but Cognition has loads of unnecessary bloat ripped out of it, which was more along the lines of what I wanted. Battery life has also been somewhat improved. Stock life was terrible.

What have been your experiences and recommendations?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
I think overcome is pretty slick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgn9000:
Thank you for your experience shared... I am using litening firmware too and I am looking to cognition since weeks ago. In fact, I freezed many things with titanium and the v1.5 of litening added kf2 kernel and modem version. Did you use this version before cognition migration ?

Another issue with cognition is this firmware is using ke7 kernel and ke4 modem. The version of modem seems to be very efficient with 3G connections but I am experiencing few battery drain even if I put my phone in gsm only (stop using data). Meanwhile, I did last week end a test without data and my battery usage was only 30% during 48 hours with litening.

Another point, I saw a new custom firmware (nitroz) but the thread disappeared yesterday.

Guys i am new to android. I have rooted my phone recently. Now i want to increase the speed of cpu. Is there any apps in market thru which i can overclock my optimus one p500 running on company installed android 2.2.

I have tried setcpu software but was not satisfied with the performance.May be i have gone thru some wrong settings.

Please help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Look, either the CPU gets overclocked or not; other than that, SetCPU or any other method has absolutely no influence on performance.

Read the sticky threads before asking more questions like this because if you had done that, you would have known that with stock kernel there is NO OVERCLOCKING!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bavisirahul:

so please any one tell me how to copy the whole things from my old sd card to my new one to have the phone just the same but with larger space in sd ?????

thanks for anyone who helped or even tried to. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
put in your old sd card, so you will have all apps installed, backup them with titanium backup, then make a partition on your new card, put it in the phone, restore apps with titanium, move them to sd card witk link2sd

Please help! I'm on ACS Frozen rom with ec05 modem and I love the rom but and my 4g signal keeps cutting off. Sometimes it says 4g disconnected at the notification bar and sometimes the 4g signal has 2 or 3 bars but i still cant connect to the internet. Other times just it goes idle even when I'm using the web. I have to toggle the 4g on and off and it starts working again for about 10 or 15 minutes.It doesnt matter how strong the signal is, I still drop connection. My 3g speeds have also dropped down to about .25 mbps DN (used to get about 1.3 mbps average). I am not sure what it is that's causing these issues. Bad modem (hardware)? issues with the rom?

I went back to stock ec05 for a few days and the issue was still there but happened less often. Is there something wrong with the phone itself? MysteryEmotionz if you are reading this and you can help I would greatly appreciate it. I use the web a lot on my epic an dropping connection every 10 minutes is really annoying.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AznImport:
Ive edited the Build.prop file to change the lcd density; works great. Just wondering if there's a ROM out there that supports the actual change of DPI settings without altering the look of apps (ex. camera, calendar, etc.). I recently switched from Pongster's Hyper Droid for my HTC HD2, his ROM supports all DPI settings, is there any ROM for the GS2 that is similar? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Well apps are designed for specific resolutions. Changing the dpi actually makes your phone have an out of the ordinary resolution, resulting in misaligned graphics in certain apps.

I had liked a higher resolution on my sgs2, too..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgn9000:
Hyperdroid introduced 167 dpi rater than usual resolution. But this is a stock rom not an htc with sense. I tried to change dpi on my hd2 like hyperdroid but it always failed. I suppose this could be the same with touchwiz and all samsung apps. I hope that once cyanogen will produce its own firmware, we be able to find this enhancement on sgs2 too.
