Yes funeral, even if sd isn't partitioned, the swap file writes to the sd card, which has a limited number of writes. Swappiness at 100 takes a big toll on sd card life
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperAce609:
Nah, set the swappiness lower. I'm gonna take it off though. I'll put it back on when I get my 8GB Class 10 and reinstall A2SD. Don't really have the need for swap at the moment since I don't have any heavy apps installed. Just wanted to see how it worked out. Works amazingly well.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMAranda:
Thanks for the tip, without the swap partition we can't keep on background more than 4 apps maybe, now I can keep 10+, I tested and it's great!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperAce609:
Haha. Glad I'm not the only one it's worked for. But you actually made a partition? The swap file is more convenient. You can change size at will and you don't have to touch your SD and it works exactly like a partition.

How big did you make yours?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMAranda:
Oh, sorry, I thought one thing and wrote another, I'm using a 256MB swap file, not partition. Good enough for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperAce609:
Oh ok. Yeah, that's good. I'm about to shrink mine. 500 is a space hog for no reason xD.

Highest swap usage I got was like 69MB.

EDIT: I just realized. With this, we can finally use ICS/JB. The lack of ram made it completely slow and unbearable. I'll start using it again once all the bugs are sorted out :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathstoned:
Good Morning

Very ironic,but i came here to ask about rooting my phone a year back and now i'm back in sort of the same situation..

A year back I rooted my froyo 2.2.1 based Galaxy S to a gingerbread version,then i used quite a few of the ICS roms available on this forum,had been using Cyanogen for the past few months.Yesterday i had some free time,so i thought would check out the JB roms available.

So i did the usual,download the JB version of Fishears since i had a iNand.put it in my internal sdcard..but i could not access the memory card from CWM 5.0.2.7..,so i put it in my external memory card and tried to run the zip from there,but the process got aborted in the middle,tried it twice,dint work.

Then i remembered i had faced this internal memory problem before,had to go and switch on the debugging mode in the developer option.[P.S:- i had been facing the encryption successful problem for half a year,was too lazy/busy to fix it,i just took it in my stride and rebooted a lot to get into the homepage]

So,I'm in CWM and i run the usual process and run the zip file from the internal sdcard,it started out fine,them BOOM.my phone reboots all of a sudden.When it restarts,it does not have a OS to boot into,the green android image with a red exclamation mark and a few text appears which happens too fast to read and it keeps rebooting and this process goes on.

I can still access CWM and the download mode,i tried going into CWM but the internal sd doesnt open and the zip file fails to mount from the external sd.

So i thought **** it,i'll do the rooting part again and i run up ODIN,download the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel,and i see it is just 15 mb or so,i remembered i used more than 1 file and used the pit folder also,but i read it on the semaphore website,its only 1 file and have to use it as the PDA.went to download mode and odin recognised it and the process completed without a hitch,it even showed a green PASS..

but the problem came when it had to reboot after the process,it got stuck in the "Galaxy S GT I9000" page and never moved forward.it was there for 30 minutes or so before i pulled out the battery.

Basically

1.I cant get past that page

2.I can access the CWM and Download modes

3.I accepted my mistake and thought of not doing any more mistakes,so icame here

4.When i boot into CWM mode,these errors come

Cant access the external sd from the CWM now

I dont mind any os now,as long as i can take calls.Am leaving college for home by train day after,so i need a working os as soon as possible

Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for taking your time to help me out

I installed CM9 from the external sd as the internal sd was inaccesible in any way..the installation showed info like

"the internal sd card marker could not be found

Going ahead with installation"

the installation continues and restarts once and updates but it does not boot into the main page,it directly goes into the Encryption Unsuccessful page.When i try Reset Phone,it goes into the CWM recovery screen with some errors,

when i try to install CM10 from this recvery screen,it initially stops the installation saying the data partition layout is different and all my data will be wiped.run the .zip to go ahead with the progress.I run this it goes directly into the CWM 6.0._._ and it doesnt show any errors,i try to reboot it gets stuck on the galaxy s screen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunkmo:
This problem actually caused me to go out and buy another i9100 (which i've successfully rooted multiple times, so I don't think my process is wrong). I'm just trying to get it working so i can have a spare. I've tried searching and couldn't find anything relating to this problem.

Firstly, the problem is like the phones memory is locked. It works completely normally, but if there are any data changes (send/receive messages, install apps, take pictures, change settings... or even deleting things), as soon as the phone is restarted, everything is restored back to the state it was in on 9th November. I don't think the date is relevant to the problem, however

Taking that into account, I'm trying to fix my phone by rooting it and installing a fresh OS on top, but because of this "locked memory" anything i do is ineffective.

I've tried to go into download mode and flash CF-Root onto it, which appears successful, but when it boots back up it's as if nothing happened - no superuser app, no triangle at boot screen. See here: hxxx://i.imgur.com/M0LKW.jpg

I've also tried SuperOneClick. It goes through its process but hangs after "rooting device step#7". See here :hxxx://i.imgur.com/XcPwO.jpg

Entering recovery mode and performing a factory reset doesn't do anything

Deleting everything on the internal SD through windows doesn't do anything.

So because I can't get root, I can't flash CWM or a new OS on top and i'm stuck with a phone which won't change. If i use the phone normally, after a few days it gets stuck in a crash loop (crashes, hit force close, app relaunches and crashes immediately, repeat) and i'm forced to restart. See here: hxxx://i.imgur.com/ACFl5.jpg

I'm out of ideas. Is there anything else I can try?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
After flashing a stock firmware via Odin your phone booted up like nothing happened? It's quite impossible I tell you, you must have done something wrong, you must download a stock firmware for your phone (according to region if required) go into download mode flash the tar.md5 file selecting PDA in Odin don't check re partition tick factory reset, and after flashing your phone should be having a new stock rom, try jb or gingerbread stock if the problem persist (logically it shouldn't).

Locked memory huh good name, if you're memory is resetting because of a hardware fault then we can't do anything except send it to the service center, could you post a link to a video of this particular problem it's hm.. You know it's quite unbelievable and maybe a video of your phone resetting itself could maybe stir up some developers who know a bit of hardware.

Hello, I've recently tried installing Topogigi's ICS v30a ROM from ParanoidAndroid. During the process, I've upgraded CWM to 6.0.1.2 and performed a full dalvik, cache and data wipe on my phone. I first tried installing Topogigi's ICS v30a ROM using an earlier version of CWM without any success however after upgrading to a newer version of CWM and installing the rom, my phone appears to be hard bricked. Once I turn on the phone, the LG logo appears and then it shuts down within seconds. Entering recovery mode only gives me a blank screen. Any ideas?

you best bet is to do a full NVflash install then update using CWM,

try this following directions in the OP, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2007968

then update using topo's V30a.

the NVflash is a unbrickable solution. make sure you install the drivers for the phone you can get them in this pack http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975274&highlight=apx+drivers

then do the directions in Topo's OP and you should be running a pretty decent version of V30a.

I feel you, man. I'm also annoyed with apps that just keep running in the background no matter what I do. In my case, these are apps like Facebook and Google Maps. What I do with them, since there are instances where I actually need them to, is just freeze them using Titanium Backup and then defrost them when I want or need to use them. It's a bit cumbersome but at least I can have the best of both worlds - use of the apps when I need them and said apps not using precious resources when I don't. :)< via xda app>
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
This is exactly what I do as well. I have them on my phone (because downloading when you need them is silly), but use TB and freeze them. You don't ever see them but they are there for when you need them. Weather apps, FB, Poweramp, etc. They are always running stealing RAM and battery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
A tip for both of you guys, if you don't know:

You can create a widget with Titanium Backup, select Titanium Backup (Actions), Action, scroll up a bit and select Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app. Select the app and choose Facebook or any other app you want to freeze.

What will this do? When you click the 1x1 widget, it will defrost the app and automagically launch it. When you exit and click it again, it will freeze the app. Reclicking it will defrost and launch and so on. Makes it much less cumbersome. :)
