yes,using it as swap partition will work fine.

BUT flash memories have limited write cycles.

so you end up decrasing your internal flashs livetime

i recomerre to use sd card, because its easier to replace after a jear or two if it stops working well.

-------------ad flash live span info-----------------------------

Individual flash memory (sd and internal flash) cells have a limited lifespan. That's the bad news. The good news is that their lifespan is usually measured in the many, many thousands of erase/write cycles, and that card controllers use an algorithm that balances the wear across the entire card's cells. InternalFlash and SD/SDHC cards are designed to automatically and transparently map out memory cells that go bad, or in some cases when they reach a predefined limit.

The cards and flashs are rated in and out of a device over 100,000 write cycles.

so nothing to worry about
[Defy General] fiskenigaten:
Why and how does this shorten the sd's life-span? (Curious)

[Defy General] Posse666:
Can we use swap partition on sdcard? Is it better then swap file at fat32?
[Defy General] super noob bros:
Is there a way to prevent certain apps from being "swapped" to sd card? I dont think there is but what's the harm in asking? :p

This is because the launcher gets very laggy when swap is enabled.

Also: using internal memory as swap isn't recommended. Not only can you shorten life of internal memory, but also slow down your phone. As everything (apps,system,swap)will be trying to access the internal memory at the same time and will lead to trashing.

thanks

Thanks :D
[Defy General] ricanrocks:
I am a noob to this android stuff and I know this question is outdated, but what is a qkernel?

Also, I am using a kernel that has been confirmed to be able to work with swap files, but when I press "on" in swapper 2, everything works fine. Then it says, "enabling swap file(fail)."

Could someone please inform me on how to fix this problem on MB525.

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys I just wanted to know if I can get Xperia P casing??

I have wrecked my beautiful Xperia P. It fell from my hand and now it has many scratches and dents at the back aluminum casing. Luckily my tough screen was saved from the impact..

I need new casing..can any one tell if I can buy it separately or is it available?

As the title says, when I select a new notification sound within handcent it still is the same default notification sound as selected in Android settings. Is this pretty typical? I haven't had this issue with my old x10.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
This may be a dumb question, is it possible that although you selected a notification to use the radio selection is still set to use the default? Also which version of handcent are you using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ecip:
Hmm I donno exactly what u mean, but no settings are set to default.

I'm using the latest version of handcent.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I've had the notification setting from within handcent revert to the defualt ringtone in the past, even after i had specified a different one. I don't know what else to suggest other than uninstall and re-install handcent and see if that helps. Other than that maybe contact the developer from the market page, as this is likely an app specific problem.

Dear fellow xda users,

a family member of mine was giving me a Car Navigator GPS35K / iconX G300 PNA to fix. The device is nearly bricked, only the boot logo is on the screen when I turn it on.

Technical specs: I'm not allowed to post it (outside link), please use google.

So I'd need an original ROM (with WinCE 5.0 Core) to flash back to the device. I was able to flash a different ROM (MyGuide 3100Go) to the device, but of course it doesn't even boot up. I just wanted to try if the device even allows me to flash a ROM onto it.

So if anyone has this kind of device, would you be please so kind to make a dump of your ROM and upload it to me? The OEM who built the device went bankrupt, I can't ask them to help. There's no ROM for this device on the internet after 2 days of intensive search. I couldn't find any related topic here either.

Thanks in advance

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
This may be in wrong form, and maybe it should be in development thread for the liquid smooth Rom. I asked there and cannot find in other searches so please help.

Before this Rom I was able to set a default for where new contacts were saved. I believe it was in contacts somewhere around display options.

I want all new contacts to go to one of two Gmail accounts every time.

I cannot find where to set that, and so, saved now go to phone or SIM, I think, and when I reflash I lose those new contacts.

Anyone know where to set a default for this? Maybe it changed between ics and jb and possibly is not just the new liquid Rom.

Thanx.

Hi,

I've updated my xperia mini pro 17i from Belgium to ICS .587 and rooted it.

Then I've perceived the hard keyboard wasn't azerty as it is supposed to be, but it was qwerty.

I've fixed that, thanks to this forum, but now my hard home button isn't sending "home", but it just selects something on the page I'm at. To go to the home screen I have to use the "back" hard button a few times, instead of just pressing the hard home button once.

I've tried a factory reset without loss of data and it didn't fix the problem.

I've searched for a solution here, but couldn't find one. Please, forgive me if there is an answer: I really couldn't find it. I'm a nobody and I need help.

I thank you in advance for any clues (and will thank you officially after you post help, of course).

Hi,

I was just back to say I've seem to have fixed it. I've flashed a .587 ftf with flashtools and re-fixed the keyboard and now everything is working. I need to test more, but the button is working. I'm so happy.

The only thing I'd like to have done, now, is to stop the haptic feedback I get every time I press the hard "back" button.

If the administrators want to delete this topic, I'll understand.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
To disable the haptic feedback you can use for example android assistant from playstore and on Tools>Save Battery Settings there's an option to diable it ;)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madazam:
Hi Guys,

First of all congrates and thanks to all the help you guys are providing (free of cost which is even more commendable).

I had my Xoom for a while but never got around to taking it apart (figuratively/software-wise) speaking :D

Finally i flashed it to stable build of 3.0 of EOS and now i have decided not to dispose of my XOOM ....:p

However the mere experience of changing the rom has raised many questions in my head which i was unable to find the answer for, which are :

1. Which custom Rom is better, EOS, CM etc. or more specifically which one is better for me. I have a laptop for gaming and dont do much gaming on XOOM, but i would like to have a tablet with as much as possible option of fast CPU (overclocking). I mainly use my XOOM for reading comics (ComicRAck), books (Aldiko), browsing (many browsers), movies and downloading (mainly through torrents), so in this context should i stay on stable EOS or go to CM or something else ?

2. Second question : a little bit of information on overclocking options in EOS, what are they "Governor" etc. and is there any effect of more speed like more battery usage etc. or vice versa if i underlock that is less battery usage?

3. I am unable to find the themes for EOS so will the themes of CM on google play will work on EOS?

Thanks guys in advance ....and bravo once again.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxboy:
Unfortunately the mythical 'Best ROM' doesn't exist. What I suggest is try them all and see which fits your usage best. There aren't too many on Xoom and they are all pretty much the same give or take a few features. Nothing that will impact upon your usage example.

Governors Explained

AFAIK EOS has the CM Theme Engine built in, so you can use the same themes.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Maximinus I:
You do understand that if android goes that way you can kiss your custom ROMs goodbye. Not only that but also your options for android devices would shrink because the open handset alliance would quickly fall apart. Why not just buy an apple if you want a closed off system? These thoughts show exactly how you do not understand what open source is and why Google is doing what its doing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rezoundness:
Sounds fine to me. I would give up custom roms...

Faster updates and all. We can then all have a uniform android experience and not this hap hazard one we now have. Just to turn on wifi is different in sense and touchwiz.... they should compete on quality and look of the phone and not software as the hardware and software should all be the same. And i would never buy a iphone no widgets.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aletheus:
Why does this have to be so either/or? Samsung has no intention of suckling from the android teet forever--samba/tizen? Its open now, but won't stay open forever---look at how reluctant they are to release their hardware libraries... hundreds of thousands of people 'superbricked' their (insert qualifying samsung device here)--and though a simple fix would have been to release their emmc firmware to the xda community, and we'd all have functioning (instead of limping) quality samsung mobile warez....i', calling events like the MMC_CAP_ERASE bug instancas of 'planned hyper-obsolescense'... i fell to it too: gTab 7.7? Superbricked and in a coma on my shelf--- why wouod i buy a new one when the gNote 10.1 just came out.

Motorola could set the bar so high, that tthey force companies to stop doing that, or force them onto their own ecosystems. Motorola has liscenced the AMOLED patent from samsung, so we could see a motorola droid or nexus tablet sporting the same features as the Note 10.1 but with Amoled--and hd--and a kevlar back...

I personally am excited about ubuntu mobile and boot to gecko.

Motorola should be Android's greatest champion, but there's no reason why google would ever close-source android just to make motorola its flagship manufacturer. I think we're going to see an incredible rest of the decade---as long as isreal doesnt get nuked---then all bets are off.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sigfrodr:
Apparently Mozilla is working on their own smartphone OS - aptly named - Firefox OS, which they claim to be an attempt at a truly open mobile OS. I personally haven't heard much about Ubuntu mobile, but I'd be willing to move over to any other Linux based OS. Fragmentation is an issue, but that's just a side-effect of having an open operating system. Personally I think Android is managing this issue well -- but then again I'm only speaking from the perspective of a RAZR owner.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aletheus:
Fragmentation is not an ssue with open source deployment, its a problem because OEMs are so corporate, so profit/competition-driven, that they cant even fathom a gnu-gpl development scenario---"wait, R&D investment you cant monetize???" Its just beyond them.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Maximinus I:
Haha you gotta be kidding. Google loves to make money and by doing what your saying they would lose a lot of money. Just accept the fact that you can't have the latest os without buying a new phone. Even iOS is like that every new revision has new features that work on the latest iPhone and not or only partially work on previous I phones.

There are phones that have jb on them? Just because our phone doesn't have it officially doesn't mean it isn't out. why does it even matter if we have the latest OS that isn't even very different on an old phone. It's not like we are stuck on GB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rezoundness:
It matters to me BIG time. Never show weakness by having an outdated os. People on the latest os will glare and snicker at those who dont. Its a dog eat dog world. Its like my razr ics is a pcjr without it. I think we need support groups and we should sue Google and the carriers over updates.

Imo i dont mind not getting JB on my 4x. See guys, ics will still be the majority of the android system and app support for it wouldnt disappear until quite sometime later.

And even by the time ics is really becoming obsolete how old do you think your phone will be? There will be new hardware by then or anyone on the general market wouldnt be even using the phone anymore by then.

I'm speaking as a general user who treats a phone more as a personalised, friendly thing more than using it for technology development. I think LG is really doing a good job. How my phone now (ics) is fine. I dont really care about not getting JB on this device.

Looking outside of developers circle, i think majority of smartphone users are still those that has little interest in catching up with technology, and has the same purpose of phone as me, using it as a connection, entertainment, tool.

My 2 cents.

Ps i had used samsung android phone before.

Edit. Enjoy more of your time now. Sometimes certain good things are already what you have now. Just forget about not getting the update for a while and take a brand new look into the beauty.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
I currently have an HTC Desire S which I have rooted and booted over and over again, from GB all the way up to Jelly-Bean and back again. I have placed an order for my 4X HD and am collecting it on Saturday. I don't really care if it gets upgrades to JB or beyond - this time I want a fast, nice phone which I can just use - this is why I have gone for this rather than other phones. I will keep my DS for playing with and to get my kicks from when I feel the need to play around. I'm quite sure that LG will provide us with upgrades for a while, but as long as I have a fairly vanilla ICS I will be a happy bunny.

I'm considering this as my next phone because of great price/specs ratio. I have an Optimus Black now, which I got for the same reason and I am very happy with it. LG has always made nice phones with bad software and even worse updates. I expect the 4x to get JB but nothing beyond that but why do you even care? If you're on XDA you know some good stuff will come. 4x being Tegra 3 based I guess there should be enough possibilities.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] babymatteo:
