Warning : It can (and will) shorten SD or NAND lifespan.

A little tutorial for those who want to try swap on their tattoo without decreasing the life of their sd card.

Download the file attached here, or here.

And then do this :

adb shell "mkdir /data/swap"
adb push swapfile.swp /data/swap
adb shell
mkswap /data/swap/swapfile.swp
losetup /dev/block/loop0 /data/swap/swapfile.swp
swapon /dev/block/loop0
free ( to check if its running)

If you want to use it on the SD :

adb push swapfile.swp /sdcard/
adb shell
mkswap /sdcard/swapfile.swp
losetup /dev/block/loop0 /sdcard/swapfile.swp
swapon /dev/block/loop0
free ( to check if its running)

Keep in mind you must do losetup and swapon after each reboot.

Have been testing it for a while. No problems till now and delivers a very noticeable speed increase.
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
Thank you very much igstoian.

I'm gonna use it in my ROM if you don't mind.
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
Great that I can help. :D

Also post your experience with it. How is the speed gain?
[Click Android Development] TheSSJ:
Maybe this is a dumb question, but is it possible to enable swap even if my phone does not have custom boot.img??

I've rooted it, but not permanently (after a reboot I have to run the exploit again and I don't want to take the risk to brick it).

/Edit: WTF?! It's blazing fast :D Thank you!
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
Then you have to run the exploit and enable swap on every reboot if you want it...
[Click Android Development] eyegor:
You are actually using the data partitions for swap? And you think that increases SD card life? Sure it does, but what about the NAND flash that our data partition is, and has poorer life anyway than the damn 10 buck SDcard!?
[Click Android Development] suoko:
right

guess it's still too hard to change internal storages
[Click Android Development] leon1984:
It would be better to use a swap partition? A file is not the same as a partition.

Testing, swap file in system memory:

-a full day of use, the swap is 3 mb.

-30 programs loading into memory, the swap is less than 4 mb of use.

The use made is at least equal to a partition could increase. Or helping the compcache (I haven´t compcache)
[Click Android Development] eyegor:
It doesnt matter if its a file or a partition. you write files to a partition or you write info to a file. its still writing and its the read-write cycles that damages memory, not the amount of files being written.
[Click Android Development] LordGiotto:
Thankyo lgstoian for this how-to :)

Only a question:

Can I push swapfile.swp in /cache directory instead /data?

/chache has more space free :P
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
I guess you can. I haven't tryed it yet. But as it has been said in the thread it's preferable to use the sd and not any internal memory.
[Click Android Development] LordGiotto:
Wow, thank you, really speed improvement! :)

How to make it permanent? We have to modify init.rc in boot image?

help

hello what we type and where type and what by type
[Click Android Development] TheSSJ:
Because not everyone flashed his tattoo and has a custom ROM, so for the folks who have to use the m7 exploit everytime after a reboot, the method lgstoian presented is the only choice ;)

[Click Android Development] Pottkopp:
I have formatted a swap partition on my sdcard. How to use it??
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Interesting. However, using swap on SD makes your SD Card unable to unmount. Internal Flash is better, 16MB on my end and I see no damage yet. And the swap is full too (16MB used, 0MB free!)
[Click Android Development] eyegor:
Yet. Exactly, no damage YET.

The nand flash uses a bad-block management system so i have no idea how one would notice it, i guess files getting corrupt and space being reduced.

Anyway, the only phones running android that need swap are the G1 and 32B magic.

Those phones simply have too little RAM, using straight compcache is a lot better for the 32A Magic (it resides in RAM, thus no damage) and hence the tattoo has the same amount of RAM it is better for it as well :)

Error on swapon

Hi all, i get an error on my Tatto when i try to swapon:

swapon: /dev/block/loop0: Invalid argument

What's going wrong ?
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
What rom are you using and do you have busybox installed?
[Click Android Development] ryle89:
Yep i'm using fyodor ROM v0.5.3.1, and Busybox is installed too. I can use the others commands but not swapon. I can see that the options for swapon are:

-a Start swapping on all swap devices

-p PRI Set swap device priority

Humm i don't understand.
[Click Android Development] ikxdf:
hi,

how can i made permanent this modify?
[Click Android Development] ikxdf:
i have to put this 2 lines

losetup /dev/block/loop0 /data/swap/swapfile.swp

swapon /dev/block/loop0

in /init.rc file?
[Click Android Development] lgstoian:
I haven't worked on making it permanent yet. You need a script that is run at boot not by modifying init.rc. I will try to add this feature in my next rom release.

i now officially call for a boycott of mozilla and their products for the discontinued development of firefox for windows mobile, the symbian version looks great from the video. these guys are complety out of their minds and they know that. so now lets teach them a lesson by decreasing their market share by going to use other browsers such as IE8,or google chrome.i have already uninstalled firefox. these guys are such malditos nacos desgraciados crétinos tarados asquerosos for this. so whos with me?
[General Topics] Tehmk:
Didn't MS release of WP7 shock the phone world? They're deviating from their ageing Windows 6.5 and focusing on WP7, and Mozilla reason for delaying development is because MS hasn't released a NDK if I heard correctly. Is a boycott applicable for a free product?
[General Topics] eric12341:
im not buying that because these mal nacidos know that they can just continue to work on the wm6.x version that they've already started developing. wm7 looks like it won't need another browser according to what I've been hearing but im gonna stick with wm6.x. I also heard that they discontinued development on the android version also.
[General Topics] Reddog80p:
Skyfire with flash support is better anyway. The android version is rumored to be coming soon.

No way going to boycott the best PC browser just because they are not going to release browser till WP7 especially since so many mobile browsers about.......

Talk about cut your nose to spite your face :D
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
It really sucks that they stopped development on Fennec, but can you really blame them? Since Microsoft has disallowed development of applications that rival native applications, Fennec cannot be developed and released for Windows Mobile 7 (through conventional channels). Windows Mobile 7 is just on the horizon, and Windows Mobile 6.x is slowly dying.

WM6.x and earlier, the only WM platforms that Fennec will run on, will gradually slip into obscurity and obsolescence in the coming months as Windows Mobile 7 slowly replaces WM6.x. Think about it: would you waste the time of your talented developers porting to an already obsolete operating system which will become more obscure in the coming months, when you could put their talents to better use? The decision to cut off Windows Mobile may seem unfair, but it makes plenty of sense from a management standpoint, and I can't blame them. My 2 cents.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Completely agree!

But you have an error, instead of: "the best PC browser" the right one is: "the second best PC browser":)

First place is for Opera 10.50:D:D
[General Topics] eric12341:
wrong again I like google chrome better than opera or FF it uses less RAM than both of them and its much less buggy than opera, this opera suffers the same website compatibility issues as the mobile one I've ran into many sites that didn't display properly.

[General Topics] witch1:
Fennec on winmo sucked square anyhow. And I use Safari browser. IMHO, its the best.:)
[General Topics] ElCondor:
Exactly my words.

And a boycot would make no sense because there are so much users, they wouldn't notice any difference.

For mobile browser I would definitely go for opera 10 mobile, it works good even on devices with little memory.

100% Agree

This is a no brainer and I agree.

Firefox is the best PC browser so why would you want to boycott it and suffer the bloat of IE any version. Geez it only just got tabbed browsing.

Use chrome?? Yeah right, not this lifetime!

Maybe Safari, might as well go the whole hog and buy an Iphone. :D

Nice phone

Dear friend,

This is a nice phone. But it lacks 3G, GPS, G-sensor.

Other than it is excellent. Sound, speed, etc, are good.

wm6.5 is good. More titanium themes are found.

But if you want 3G & GPS, then go for HTC T3333.

but compare with other new Samsung win mobile models also.

Best of luck.

SURESH from Tamilnadu.
[Touch2 General] hdr87:
Guys,

I own this model & have been using it for about a month now. If you really dont want 3G & GPS, then this is the phone.

All the features are well integrated, the looks are quite cool (i like the interface)

Yes, you can compare this phone with its peers like samsuny but in my experience HTC is the best option available but thats just me.

here is my recommendation (or rather request),

go to a good mobile shop one which has live model, try you hand onto all the device & then choose.

Hope this help,

Regards,

This is really a good phone

I have been using it since 2 months

No problems as of now

Only drawback is 3G, GPS

And also Loud Speaker is really bad-this is the only thing i observed

UI is really superb, touch sensitivity is also good.

HTC and iPhone are the 2 phones which have a very good Touch feeling.

Dear All,

Thank you very much for your feedback. I finally got Touch2 Special Version (HTC Touch2 T3320) and m quite happy about it. Though I miss the speaker volume of gene, this piece is decent in that regards.

I really didn't need GPS (I usually know where I am and how to reach where I have to go :D) or 3G (the fight between govt and service provider still goes on regarding 3G spectrum :p and I don't think we will be getting it soon in India, by then it will be time for another model ;) )

Thank you one and all and look forward to more interaction

I normally use double twist for getting itunes data onto the phone with no problems and when I have serious work like flashing a new ROM I use virtual box running windows 7 in 32 bit, works a treat.
