[mbm] for teaching me this dd terminal method.

As we all know, for what ever reason, Samsung decided to release the Tab 3 model tablets with 1 GB of ram. I believe this system needs more ram but unfortunately we cannot upgrade the hardware. What we can do is create virtual memory or a "Swap file" that acts like ram to help our Tab 3's out with multitasking and other memory hogging tasks. Below are the steps to:

1. Create a swap file.

2. Create a script file to run at boot from your /system/etc/init.d directory.

3. Create a android system with 1GB of RAM and 1GB of swap file virtual memory. :D

*Remember whatever device you are using must have a rom with init.d support and be rooted.

STEP 1: TERMINAL COMMANDS PT.1

Download terminal emulator from the play store if you don't already have it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

Open terminal emulator and execute these commands in order:

1. "su"

2. "cd /system"

3. "mount -o rw,remount /system"

4. "dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1m count=600" (be patient, this step takes about a minute)

5. "mkswap swapfile"

6. "chmod 755 swapfile"

STEP 2: INIT.D SWAP FILE TEXT CREATION

Now to create a script to execute at boot every time you boot your phone. I used the app QuickEdit from the play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.edit

Now open that up and put the text below in the file:

"mount -o rw,remount /system

swapon /system/swapfile"

Now save that to your sdcard (/sdcard) as "swap" (remember do not save with the .txt)

STEP 3: TERMINAL COMMANDS PT.2

Now go back into terminal and execute these commands:

1. mv /sdcard/swap /system/etc/init.d

2. chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/swap

I kept my previous terminal session open but if you closed it for what ever reason you might have to execute "su" and then "mount -o rw,remount /system" before the two commands in step 3.

STEP 4:

Reboot and win. :laugh::good::laugh::cool:

To verify that the process has worked, after reboot, bring up terminal emulator and type "free -m". You should see that swap has more than 600M! This will stick after reboot. If for whatever reason you want to get rid of your swap file just delete the "swapfile" file and the "swap" script. Enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] getyroks:
I'm getting "swap file needs to be a least 40kb" after I "mkswap swapfile"

EDIT:I tied it again now and it seemed to work, for some odd reason
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] vin_001:
My swap file reads "399" .... it's not more than 600m. What did I do wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] vin_001:
Never mind! I found the solution... when typing "1m" into the command line, the m must be capitalized, "M". If anyone else has this issue, this is where u went wrong! Now I have "999" instead of "399"!

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] ankkax:
Not sure what you mean, but when you wipe your system folder, you need to make swapfile again.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] DerLeoLeo:

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] spankycarbowski:
I've got to the last step and couldn't move the file as the /system partition is 100% used.

I also notice that the created /system/swap file is only 589M ...

So I guess I could try to use a smaller swap file or clear some /system/** memory? Anyone know the best way to do that? or what i can delete etc?

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] vin_001:
The last step is where you went wrong, since swap uses space on your system partition. Free up space and redo everything again. You should see 999 ( or more than 600) if you succeeded.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] spankycarbowski:
Yes right, I guess I am really asking - what is the best way to clean up the system partition - as i have no idea what i can delete?
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] vin_001:
To free up space in the system partition, try deleting unecessary system apps and bloatware, (I'm guessing you are on stock touchwiz, but it doesn't matter otherwise). You can also find a deodexed rom that you would like. Deodexed roms use less space in your system partition. The last option is to get a download of your rom on a PC and boot into TWRP (3.0.2-0 preferred) and do an advanced wipe as well as your internal storage. Backup everything if needed, then reflash.

Hope any of these helped!
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] spankycarbowski:
Ahhh. I followed the instructions and installed cm13.0 from nels83 ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3342017 )

I guess doing this step:

"Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Dalvik Cache + System + Cache + Data"

doesn't actually wipe the system partition clean?
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] vin_001:
Ya, that doesn't wipe the tablet clean, wiping all of that and 'internal storage' does the trick. Glad I could help!
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] z00mantwo:
I agree with everyone here. This made a big responsiveness change in the tablet. Thank you!

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterrmann:
Allow Mock locations. And annoying "hold" on calls every time phone put up to my ear.

I have a galaxy s6.

SM-G920I to be exact

Running marshmellow

I have enabled developer options

I can not find the option allow mock locations at all.

It used to be there before the update.

I have tried resetting the device.

It seems the option has completely vanished.

Is there any way to bring the option back?

The only mock location option is the option to select a single app.

So have they done away with the option. And just included the option to select a single app?

Ps I'm sure the mock location option was there on my old s6.( Identical model and carrier also software version was also Marshmellow same build)

Also

Is there any way to reduce the touch sensitivity on this device. I know there is on the s5.

Every time I call and put the phone upto my ear it places the call on hold. Very embarrassing.

I'm deaf in my left ear so I need to use my right ear..

But every time I do. My ear touches the hold button.

I've tried searching for an app that replaces the in call screen. I've tried apps that "reduce sensitivity" there must be something I can do? Even move the hold button?

I don't want to root my phone as its only a month old.

I'd only root if I can guarantee the Knox counter won't trip.

I'm aware the hold issue is very common however have not been able to find a resolution.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have searched Google for answers but can't find anything.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarryDoo:
Proximity sensor isn't being triggered correctly, not an uncommon problem. Most blame it on how the phone is held.

As a workaround, hit the power button before putting the phone up to your ear, to lock the screen.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ax562:
Your welcome. I had adjusted the original post. Maybe you did "bs=1M" and not "bs=1m". Android doesn't like the capital "M". Also, I ended up making the instructions for a smaller swap file of 600m. Glad it helped. I know it helped me a lot :cool:!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ax562:
you can do it for either or. I did it for internal /sdcard because I ran out of micro sd cards. The instructions would be the same, just replace /sdcard with /ext-sdcard (or whatever your ext sdcard is named), ignore moving to /system, and ignore the permissions step for swapfile ("chmod"). It is safer doing on /ext-sdcard but most likely a little slower.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr9nole:
Can you Make extsdcard why
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] sscsps:
"dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=1073741824" for 1GB?

Also, I just want to ask, if this will help enough to let me play Pokemon GO

EDIT: Just to point out, it is possible that there might not be enough space for that much size of the swap file in /system

so i stopped it in between at around 392MB. I hope that wont be an issue... Would it be?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] djparent:
When executing this command I get an error - "Failed on '/sdcard/swap' - cross device link"

Any idea why I'm getting this error?

UPDATE: According to the Google t's a busybox error that can be fixed a couple ways. Either use the command "cp" instead of "mv" or try the command "busybox" before the string ie:

busybox mv /sdcard/swap /system/etc/init.d

The above command worked for me. Cheers!

Which ROM and kernel are you using? Looks like you have zram enabled, that's the zram swap size on my tablet as well. I've tried disabling it and running the scripts but can't seem to enable swap on the kernel I'm on. It's either zram or nothing. I'm using werewolf kernel and jasbr lite ROM

It's basically the same, JASBR lite but with the kernel that came with it, i'll see if I can disable zram
