[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Likely working...give it time. You will see swap file utilization slowly creep up but will likely remain at a small fraction of the available space. Note: the swap file is reset (flushed) on reboot.

Setting swappiness to 20 discourages the use of the swap file except under high memory pressure. In most cases that is what you want as RAM is several magnitudes faster than eMMC. The benefit kicks in under high memory loads:

- older content in the memory cache can be (quickly) written out to the swap file freeing up RAM for current demands

- context of loaded but less frequently accessed apps is likely to be fully/partially retained avoiding a complete restart

Bumping swappiness to 40 or higher will increase swap file utilization and also change the composition of swapped contents. The default on many devices, especially on low RAM configs and/or those with zRAM, is 100. That aggressive setting will likely hurt overall performance on a 2GB device with no zRAM support (like the HDX).

Keep in mind the swap file resides in an area of permanent storage that goes largely unused on a HDX fitted with a custom ROM (FireOS uses this area for processing OTA updates). If that file were taking space away from the data partition this tweak would be of questionable value.

Good to know, thanks again!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Yet another update. After making modest tweaks to dirty/dirty background ratios I noticed a subtle increase in momentary (<1 sec) lag switching between previously loaded apps. Such behavior is symptomatic of increased memory cache pressure and potentially unnecessary swapping and/or LMK activity. Flushing the cache cured that (for awhile) but is clearly not the ideal solution. Ultimately bumping swappiness to 40 addressed the problem. Guessing the previous value (20) allowed stale application pages to remain in memory a bit too long increasing cache pressure which became evident when actively multitasking.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Bumping this thread as reminder/reinforcement of the beneficial effects for some workflows. In short, a small static swap file significantly improves the multitasking UX if returning to previous app context is important. Newer devices leverage zRAM for this purpose; HDX kernel doesn't support that.

Over time I have gravitated back to defaults for swappiness, dirty timeouts, cache pressure, etc as custom values did not yield significant measurable (or subjective) improvement to warrant changing. Less knobs to turn/tweak which is always good thing in my book!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] pipyakas:
This is what I usually do - just resize and move the extra space to userdata partition. If only the days of roms that are installed by simply extracting the files on to system partition still continues, we could get some space of the system partition out too :silly:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Yep - done that too on some devices. Resizing partitions is not for the faint of heart which is why I opted to excluded it from the guide.

I had kown how deal with it ,we can rest our disk partition to make it change to data or system to use!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
Why not provide that info? It is no different than flashing custom roms. You are warned by the devs that doing so brings a risk of bricking your device...proceed at your own risk.

I think it would be valuable to those that want to use that wasted space or optimize the use of the storage space available.

Hopefully you will reconsider.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
lol - not comparable, at least with the vast majority of mobile devices that I have been exposed to. Including this one. Those who wish to muck with resizing Android partitions will find copious detail on the net...usually from those who have spent 100X the initial resizng effort trying to recover their device. Because, ya know, it is no different than flashing custom ROMs.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
I am pretty sure everyone on here that goes to flash a rom (change from stock) read the disclaimer and assume the risk that they can brick their device. If there were a tool or clear directions to optimize the use of storage space considering we are stuck with 16gb (no usb otg support, no external sd card) then being able to use every Mb much less Gb seems to be a helpful thing imo.

Also it's not about mucking around with just any Android device, it's about this specific device and what one would have to do.

If you are saying it is not an easy task then so be it.

Trying to reflash the pexorom via fastboot working well and the phone is starting up even after full wipe in recovery. Want back to the stock cose on pexorom my camera isnt working and m4aqua have random reboots.

Any solution? Some months ago i had the same problem but i figured out somehow how to deal with it, unfortunately i dont remember how i did that. Was trying to flash boot.img from one of the main threads in root section but this one also doesn't work.

Update to 6.1 "broke" my Shield. I only get "No command" and cannot get to fastboot

Hi!

This patch broke my Shield :\ I was cooking when it was updating and when i came back there was picture of Android guy and text "No Command"

What to do now?

I have Shield (2015) 16gb model and not rooted. Version is one behind 6.1.

When i plug the power on Shield starts automatically and then comes the Nvidia logo (no Google logo at all) and after a while comes the Droid lying down with hatch opened and "No Command" displayed on the screen. Sometimes it stays on that and sometimes it bootloops. Here is an video of the boot

[YOUTUBE]uLO5UOqGofc[/YOUTUBE]

I found info that i should get into fastboot but i have tried to without success :\ I have tried the press power button after putting power cable on about 40-60 times without success and tried the press A and B button of Controller during the boot 10-20 times (i am not sure if it's for this version of Shield though)

So what can i do to get my Shield working again? :]

The following video may help you in the process of booting into fastboot or bootloader mode and teach you how to flash .img files via fastboot. I made the video and a 2015 16gb Nvidia Shield TV model was used.

PS: You need to download nvidia recovery image (firmware) for your specific device model from Nvidia's website but DO NOT use flash-all.bat or flash the .bin file manually, there's no need and should be avoided because that's the bootloader and you really don't wanna mess with that. You've been warned!, otherwise you may hard brick it.

if you are ok with losing all your data you can use a RUU to restore the system from your current state.

1. download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24671318762849095

2. rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip

3. put it on your SD card and put it in your phone.

4. boot into download mode, it will recognise the zip and begin the ruu process.

5. once it's finished it will reboot; it might take a little longer than usual to boot but just wait about 5min or so.

done.

at a guess i'd say that if it doesn't work or it happens again then your board is probably cooked and you should start looking for a new phone...

also when booting into stock recovery the red exclamation mark screen is normal; what you have to do is hold down the power button and press vol up and the recovery menu should appear.
