It helped by removing it being the way swap works. Depending oh how you use your phone linux swap can just as easily cause lags as it can help speed things up.

More often than not activating a swap partition, either on sd or internal, will be worse for your phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Like I said , you should try 64mb swap. On very slow devices, there's a huge diffrence between 64mb and 32 mb, ie the milestone.

So, I'm pretty sure that you'll see a difference if you drop the swap size.

I'm on 128mb right now, hard to said if its slower with swap/without swap.

If I see any slowdown, I'll give a shoot with 64mb.

hi

can someone tell me what swap partition is? what it does n d benefit am new to this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] endolith:
When your phone's memory is full, Android tells an app you haven't used recently to save its state and then kills it to free up space. When you switch back to that app, it's supposed to restore the state it was in, to look as if it never stopped running.

This is great in theory, but not in practice, since it leaves this behavior up to the whims of app developers. So some apps don't need to store much, and so you restart them and they start quickly and look just like you left them so you don't notice. That's how it's supposed to work. But other apps don't store their state at all because they were written by idiots, so you lose your work, etc. Others save part of their state, but not all of it. So the Android browser for instance saves what page you're on, but doesn't save the page itself. So when it gets killed and restarted, it wastes your time/bandwidth/money downloading a page you already downloaded over a slow internet connection, if you are on a dynamic page your session is lost, etc. If its an app like Waze or Facebook that takes forever to startup, you have to wait for the startup every time the app gets killed. On a machine with small memory, this happens every time you switch between apps.

Swap is better because instead of killing apps and forcing them to reload/restart, the OS moves stale apps and all of their memory (or even fragments of memory of a running app that haven't been accessed in a while) to the SD card, freeing up main memory for stuff you're actually using. Although accessing the SD card is slower than main memory, and will cause a lag when it happens, it's not as slow or annoying as restarting the entire app and reloading and reprocessing all its data to get back to the state it was in.

if I get u right dis mean my SD card will be partitioned n a part of it will act as internal memory
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] endolith:
You have to partition the SD card, yes, and create a swap partition. Your ROM needs to support swap, too. (CM7 does not, so I'm installing ILWT right now to try it out.) Then when your memory is full and part of it hasn't been used lately, the OS moves that part to the SD card partition to free up memory. When it needs that part of memory again, it moves another chunk to the SD card and moves that chunk back into main memory. This can cause lags if it happens a lot, but no restarting of apps. You can tweak it and turn it off to make it work better.

Doesn't the SD card's internal wear-leveling make this incorrect?

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

I don't understand why people keep spreading misinformation like this. Have you even tried it?

It makes a huge improvement in multitasking because apps don't need to be restarted from scratch every time you switch to them. You open your browser and it just opens; it doesn't have to reload the page from the internet connection. You switch to an app like Facebook or Waze that has a long startup time, and it just opens, it doesn't have to restart each time. Android's built-in memory management is only as good as the developers of the apps you use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
What is the recommended swap size to use ? I'm using ILWT at the moment which has swap support and I would like to check it out , but all my content on my sd card will be lost . Won't the rom be uninstalled ? How will I be able to install the rom again if my sd card is empty ? Won't the recoverymod be lost ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Unless you are running your os off your SD card you'll be fine. Just backup contents of SD to your PC. Format your SD to whatever partitions you want, then restore SD contents to fat32 partition. Recovery and os are stored in nand so they won't be touched
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
Thanks a lot .

So basically to sum it up , I copy paste the contents of the sd card on my pc, I reboot in recovery, I swap the partition to 128mb ext and 256mb swap, I reboot . The phone reboots in the OS and I transfer the contents with copy paste from my pc to sd card and I run the script?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
If you are planing on using an ext partition 128 is way too small, this partition should be at least the size of internal storage as it would be mostly pointless otherwise. And 256 is rather large for swap partition but that's your choice, personally its rare I find swap needed or helpful for this phone, most often it has negative effects in my opinion.

But yes your steps are correct (could also mount USB in recovery and transfer files before booting to os if you want) and if you find you like swap, look into nik3r's data swap which kebeezie made a simple flashable to setup. Its much faster than SD swap but just like all Linux swap, the trade off may be premature failure of memory (although unlikely to be a huge issue)

I also just switched to ILWT, and enabled a swap file using Swapper 2. The small recommended size of 32 MiB didn't do anything helpful, actually seemed to make things worse, but when I increased it to the max 256 MiB, it got a lot better.

I also have a 128 MiB swap partition on the SD card but I haven't enabled it because I'm not sure how to identify the /dev/ path of the swap partition on SD card, and there's all these warnings about bricking the phone if you select the wrong partition. How do I find this out for sure?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MyAnand13:
I have installed cyanogenmod 11 on my galaxy mini GT-s5570. When I type free in terminal it already shows a swap of 47mb on device.

in terminal windows show initially

swap: 49148(total) 44244(used) 4904(free)

How can I expand it ? because 47mb swap file is very low amount.I have 8gb class 4 micro sd card.

Swap file created by swapper for root can't work.

I have downloaded and installed ROM from following link

http://d-h.st/XeT

kernel version is 2.6.35.7-androidarmv6+jenkins@piripiri209#1

and the swap ram amount is preconfigured.

Previously I installed cm10.1 RC-5 stable dev ROM. On that I used swappe for root and using this I had created swap file of 820mb on class 4 8 gb sd card and it worked fine.

P.S. I know it's pointless 1gb swap partition but, G2 became my work phone (bought s4 as a multimedia device with 64 gb microsd), so g2's 32 gb card is free for use and that's the reason why i created 1 gb swap (this was the maximum that 4ext recovery was able to create)

[Continuum General] Reborn627:
Ok, this is beginning to drive me crazy. Yes, I have searched the forum but have found very little in the way of answers. The only time I get this error is when trying to add a contact. What bothers me most is that adding a contact will work fine for a few days after clearing and flashing and then out of nowhere I get the failure again. I've tried every solution out there to repair the issue but it always comes back. Is anyone else experiencing this on the continuum? If you have but have gotten it correct could you please share your solution? I'm running adrenalyn's EC07 clean ROM after an Odin install of the SCH-I400-EC07-FROYO-REL-PRODUCTION ROM. I'm using Touchpal dialer but it doesn't matter if I use touchpal or the stock Touchwiz dialer & contact manager to add contacts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Ray
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
i havent had any add concact troubles but i would try this:

uninstall touchpal

reboot into cwm

clear cache and dalvik

reboot.

see if twcontacts works again... just gotta trouble shoot from there.

i had a similar episode with go sms, it was texting peole that i never texted before.

also, when u flashed ec07clean over stock did u wipe cache and dalvik?

if you want to start by reflashing, i would back up, flash ec07.tar in odin. enter stock recovery, clear cache, apply update to enter cwm, clear cache there as well as dalvik, instal ec07clean.zip, wipe cache and dalvik again (i know lol) boot, reboot, reboot into cwm, advanced restore data only. reboot

that will give you a very clean reinstall of rom, plus keep your data upto date with when you did your new backup :)

now like i said, this is what I would do, not making you. and if you dont think its possible for you. please dont :)
[Continuum General] Reborn627:
Thanks for the reply. I'm clearing the caches again after removing Touchpal. I suppose that can't hurt. I did do a full clear before and after both the stock ROM and the clean ROM. We'll see what happens. This is super frustrating. I don't add contacts that often but it really stinks when you can't. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep you posted.

Ray
[Continuum General] Reborn627:
Still failed after clearing caches. I really don't want to re-flash AGAIN. It's almost as if there are updates to something that occur a few days after re-flash and re-install of my apps. For now I guess I just have to log into my google contacts and add them that way. I had mentioned an issue with my bluetooth last week. I thought I had cleared up the issue but it seems to be creeping back. Quirky phones these are!

[Continuum General] joshkoss:
i've had this issue on other android devices during frequent flashing.... usually corrupt data... wipe data and rebuild will fix it.
[Continuum General] Reborn627:
You're right, wiping all the data and re-flashing does work...and then it happens again. The questions are, what causes the corrupt data? can it be fixed? and what can be done so that it does not get corrupted again? Without these questions answered we just run around the same circle. I've wiped and re-flashed six times now and each time it reverts to the process stop and now way to add new contacts. Editing contacts does work however.

Peace,

Ray
[Continuum General] joshkoss:
go start with stock rom then, odin reflash stock, then start the process flashing a custom rom. somthing happened, and i've had this before on other devices also.
[Continuum General] Weudel:
And don't forget to wipe before and after.
[Continuum General] Reborn627:
Hey Josh, thanks for the suggestion. That is the process that I've used the last 2 times I started from scratch. I'll try it again this weekend. I could understand this happening if I was restoring backups but I've not restored in a couple of months.

Thanks again,

Ray
[Continuum General] Moon Shadow - NM:
Hey, just poking my nose in the Continuum section as my wife still has hers.

With the data corruption issue (on your contacts), are you restoring them from either Verizon, or a backup? If so, more than likely there is a corrupt contact in the backup and that is probably what is hosing your contacts. Or, at least hosing the ADDING part of the contacts list. :D

Hello, i have had Darky's rom 10.2.2 for few months, then realised,that there is stable cyanogenmod released,so wanted to flash it. So ,i had cwm 3.0.0.5, did a nandroid backup, downloaded cm7 via rom manager. Put it on root of sd card(internal memory).Started cwm, wiped data,cache,dalvik cache, and flashed cm7 it also changed my cwm to 5.3.?(don't remember) but now it's 3.0.0.5 again. Everything was perfect,but then i realized,that i forgot to backup all my phone numbers. So like a moran i wiped all data,and restored my backup(darky's rom 10.2.2). Everything was ok, but it doesn't boot up! Then i went to cwm and i see:

But before that you must put the phone in download mode by pressing simultaneous down volume key plus home and power and keep pressed until you see a yellow triangle, wait for windows installs all drivers and run odin ver 1.3 then you should see an yellow rectangle saying added!, then flash, but be carefully with this, see in another thread how to flash in odin, or else use kies to update your phone...

Sorry for noob Question, why is it we have to use Odin when flashing back from CM7, but we dont need to use Odin for flashing CM7?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
AFAIK it's because CM7 uses MTD instead of Samsungs BML. So the CWM script does repartitioning etc..and none of the Samsung custom roms reverse that. So you need to use Odin with repartitioning to reverse it back to Samsung layout..

I hope I remembered all correctly since I'm little tired now when writing this.. :)

[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Hey all:

I have been traveling on business all week, and was just wondering if there was new news about GB being in the playbook this week? I have a feeling if it were, it would be top of the forum, but just in case it is in a "unobvious" thread, I thought I would ask.

Here is my next question. My Samsung Epic is completely stock, except for being rooted. I have noticed it is really slow when switching to the home screen, and switching to and from apps. It is ESPECIALLY slow when bringing up the TwLauncher sometimes. I have tried clearing data on the TwLauncher to see if there was corruption, but same thing. I have about 110 apps installed on my phone, and all of the apps that can be moved to the SD card are already there.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
No, and what is the question on the second one?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No news on GB.

Other question....your homescreens are taking longer because it takes longer to access and find all the apps on your sd card. SD card access is slower so the more apps on it the more it will slow down. Clean some apps off your homescreen that are on the sd card that you don't use and see if that speeds it up a little.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
ouch. I had a feeling this was the case. Let me ask this.

I have the stock SD card in my phone (class 4 I think). If I bought a class 10, is the phone capable of utilizing those faster speeds, and would I notice the difference?
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
1. No news

2. You are running out of memory.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] senecarr:
No, I had a class 10 card (recently got corrupted and I changed back to the included Samsung sd card) and I still had this issue.

I've heard that the biggest reason we see this issue with the home screen is because the Epic uses the RTS (murderous) file system. As you are rooted, I believe you can search for the solution someone had that puts a 1GB swap space on the SD card that uses EXT4.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
This is interesting.

I wonder if a Class 10 card would help if the swap file is on the SD. I almost wish I would have installed the stock ROM without the bloatware, as I think that would also help my situation, since my internal memory is down to around 60 megs...

hmmmmm.
[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
I have 140 apps and 98% of those are on my SD card - the other 2% that "can" go on the SD card, I don't move because those apps are in folders on my home screens and if moved to the SD card, on next boot the icons change to a default Android icon instead of the normal app icon.

With that being said, I am stock and rooted like you except that I have a kernel so I can overclock my cpu. My phone is fast and stable in every way and so is my wife's epic which I have set up almost the same way - I have no problems with speed in switching or opening apps.

I would try overclocking but stay stock IMHO.
