Hi guys. I want to share with you how to create SWAPFILE to extend memory.

Requirements :

- rooted ROM

- working init.d (if you want to mount it at boot, you need init.d capability)

- busybox (Stericson version is recommended)

- terminal emulator

1. Create swapfile

Open your terminal emulator, then escalate to root access using command

$ su

Before we step further, choose where you want to make swapfile. In this tutorial, I'll create swapfile on /data directory. Different locations, means different command!

To create swapfile, apply this command

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swap bs=$((1024*1024)) count=YOUR_DESIRE_VALUE

Make your choice, how big your swapfile will be created. In this tutorial, I'll make 1024 kb of swapfile, yes it's 1 GB of swapfile.

So my command is

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swap bs=$((1024*1024)) count=1024

Wait a second. The bigger your value, the longer the process. After it's finished, and there's no error. Proceed to next step.

2. Format swapfile using mkswap command

After the creation is success, format the file using mkswap, so that file can be used as swap.

# mkswap /data/swap

Remember, my swapfile is located in /data directory. Yours maybe different. Depends on where you created it in 1st step.

3. Mount your swapfile

After we format it, now we can mount it as swap using following command

# swapon /data/swap

Remember, my swapfile is located in /data directory. Yours maybe different. Depends on where you created it in 1st step.

4. Tweak swappiness value to optimize swap system

# echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

You can put value between 1 - 100. The less the value, the better the result. Why? Swappiness is a condition when to put overload memory to swap when your RAM is running out of memory. If you put value 20, System will put overload memory to swap when RAM is 80% (free 20%). By the way my value is 1 (ONE) :P

After that, drop cache so next time overload memory will be placed in your swap.

# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cache

I need to wait 1 - 2 hour(s) to make it work.

As you can see, my swap is really working. You may need sometime to make it work.

Hit thanks if this helpful.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Is this really necessary on Z1? What improvement we will get have 2gb real Ram + 2gb Swap Ram on SD?
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
Agreed. Do you see any measurable difference on benchmarks, even?
[Xperia Z1 General] benben972:
I can't activate swapp on official 4.3... Can you help me?
[Xperia Z1 General] Crayt:
On stock rooted .257, last command is

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cache[B]s[/B]

with an "s" to drop_cache.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rekoil:
This is the most idiotic idea ever, do not do this people, it will not increase performance in the slightest.
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
No one knows what you did and what went wrong. Learn to ask questions.
[Xperia Z1 General] jamespmi:
He did.

4.3 is the point - on locked bootloaders as no system rw access. In orher words not possible on LB. A part of that the swap idea is nonsense as it slows down the device.
[Xperia Z1 General] bahathir:
Swap file is useful when the system needs more 'memory space than available physical memory (RAM)

Z1 has 2GB of RAM and able to provides resources for most of the time without the needs for swap file.

BTW ,swapping to external storage is slow and may increasing the storage failure.

On my Z1, it uses about 1GB of RAM and still have some more ready to be use.

Thank you.

I've been having issues the last few moths since I've switch to my Comcast 2 in 1 router. I'm getting 17ms ping, 20-35 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload speeds form the speedtest app on my phone, however when I pull up apps like Instagram, Facebook and Youtube, the content loads very slow. In fact, when I turn off wifi and use LTE, the apps load much faster. I've searched and see people having the same issue with apps loading slow on wifi, but no solution. Anybody know ho to fix this?

Background:

- Stock Sprint unrooted Android 4.3 ROM.

- I've reset the router a few times

- My work iPhone 5 (AT&T) on the same wifi connection loads the same apps in a snap, faster than LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] louballs:
I am having the same exact issue and I also have Comcast. Facebook, gmail, all take forever to load over WiFi! My download speeds are similar to the OP. Very annoying!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Airman1947:
I had this same problem on my Galaxy S5. It turned out to be my SIM card. I wasn't using the card that came with my phone when I ordered it, because I couldn't get it to work. I didn't realize that you had to call and activate it, so I stuck the SIM card from my old phone in there. Turns out that the technology on the newer card is more up to date. After activating it, and putting it in the phone, Facebook, Instagram and all of them work great on Wifi now! Hope that helps. Even if you are using the card that came with the phone, it could be that you have a problem with it. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Airman1947:
Ok, spoke too soon. It worked great for about a week with my new SIM card, but then started doing the same thing again. :P Somewhere, I saw that somebody else fixed the problem by disabling IPv6 on their router, but that option isn't available on mine. I finally gave up and just bought a different router. Problem solved. From what I gathered on another forum post, it sounds like for whatever reason, some routers just don't like newer phones, even brand new routers that are supposed to be top of the line. Kinda messed up. I don't know if it helps, but my old router was an Arris Surfboard. New one is a Netgear N600. Hope that helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you know the sim card only effects data network speeds right? WiFi is a completely different beast on your phone....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Airman1947:
That's what I thought. But, it started working after I changed SIM cards...for a while anyway. So I assumed that was it. Guess not. I'm chasing gremlins here. :P Anyway, thanks.

Hi guys,

Yesterday I got a message from my carrier that I exceeded my mobile data plan.

When I checked out i found that application "10175" transferred 3.75gb on Wi-Fi and also a lot on mobile.

This was done in one day.

I don't have this application installed and I didn't find any info about it.

Do you have any idea on this?

Hello,

support for energy saving BT 4.0 standard was proudly introduced with Android 4.3 and the S4 supports it hardware-wise.

Unfortunately, as I learned, Android delivers improper BT4-stacks to be able to connect a BT LE- device to the S4 (and others as well).

Third party apps like "BLE Heart Rate Monitor" and others seem to override/correct it (somehow) as they can connect to the BT LE device.

Does any developer think to take a look at this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testadeferro:
This should be posted in general thread or Q&A thread this doesn´t belong here!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] body150165:
I intentionally posted it here, as this is the place where the devs and ROM-Makers show their work.

So, I guess that many/most devs don't know about this as BT4-devices are not so popular yet, but will be.

Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get an O2 Atom from in the UK (except for eBay of course).

I'm in London so does anyone know if any shops on Tottenham Court Road stock them or can order them?

Also, I've noticed a lot of eBay ads for PDA phones recently from Chinese sellers with random names and no feedback, not accepting paypal! I reported them to eBay to check out but didn't hear anything back (against their policy apparently). Has anyone successfully ordered anything from one of these sellers, or had any bad experience? Look out if you spot any deals that are too good to be true!

Cheers,

Joe
[General Topics] Mastiff:
I don't buy things costing more than 20 dollars from anybody who doesn't take PayPal! Very simple reason: They're usually, not sometimes, crooks! And I don't buy anything costing more than 50 dollars from anybody who doesn't have a bunch of good feedback either. Doing so is just setting yourself up for a big, expensive fall.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X_Heroine_X:
hey pple i dont know where to post this thread

anyway i used to have sgs3

it had a low light mode and it was ultra smooth and good for me.

but when i bought note 3 i didnt find this low light mode

also the smart stabilization for low light mode is **** makes the screen looks like reddish .

is there any modes to port s3 low light mode to our note 3 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tclocki:
Actually, smart stabilization IS the night mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
And it work fine for me although you have to be steadier when holding the N3 because it's more sensitive to shaking. I've also not noticed any change in color reproduction with Smart Stabilization off or on.

This was taken with Smart Stabilization (and the lighting's green in real life).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tclocki:
Yes, I actually find it good when shooting in low lights without flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
Yes, they renamed night shot - smart stabilization, sort off. For proper color you can go to white balance menu and try to match type of illumination there, even dedicated DSLR's have sometimes problems with white balance under artificial light and low light shooting is always a crap shot, sometimes you get it right most of the time you won't. I also have GS3 and it's camera is pretty good, Note 3 is maybe little better but not by much, so don't expect Canon 5D quality here. Note 3 has some new modes like HDR , best photo or eraser, see if any of those have any use.

Yeah....

When you decompile theme you'll find few zip files.

One is for system, one for systemUI...etc

What's important is to decompile all and edit 9.png properly.

If you treat those png like any other picture you'll not get anything.

I don't have time to build something or to try to build something.

So I can only help with a things I know.

I wrote quick tutorial and I hope that could be a start for all who are interested.

This weekend I'll start to work on one of my themes and I hope it'll be out soon.

For the first week you have big screen but when they are up it goes to a smaller screen. Also you have to pay for some stuff inside. Hope this helps!

I paid a little more for my wife's GlasT on her IPhone 5S and its perfect. So basically I wanted know if you guys think something out there is better than the tempered glass screen protectors before I dish out the money on a better one. Or is anyone else using a tempered glass protector having the same problem with it not sealing all the way to the edge.
