Hi i have 16GB sdcard class 2 what is the size of SWAP and EXT2 for A2SD ?
thanks
I chose 2GB Swap and 100MB Ext2 Runs like a (HTC) Dream!
Seriously, pick whatever suits you best or just search for what people recommend. There is no reason to start a new thread.
You won't need a swap and 1GB Ext2 would be more than sufficient.
you really should search before posting.
You should really read the rules before posting.
The rules would have told you that you should have searched.
-------------------------------------------------------------->>>
There is some discussion on this but imho...
1) I wouldn't use a class 2 card; full stop. Very slow card.
2) Don't use a swap -->
-->Android manages memory very well.
-->The desire has 576MB of RAM
-->Your SD card is only good for around 10,000 write cycles.
-->Writing to SD is fairly battery hungry. (see point 1 also)
3) EXT2/3/4 partition size is really a personal choice. Not much point in anything bigger than 2GB as the /data/data will remain on the phone and imho, in most cases, that would be getting close to full by the time you have 2 gigs of apps on your SD card anyway.
A two... gig swap? Jesus Christ.
0MB swap, 512MB EXT3 is probably more than you'll ever need.
To be fair, if you want things to be fast, leave it as ext2, there is no need for the journaling that ext3 has to offer, so its wasted read/write cycles for it tbh...
interesting. But why then are ext3 and ext4 even available ?!
Between ext2, ext3 and ext4, what is the best ?
2 = known entity, stable, simple. Used to be a 2GB limit but not sure now. This was in the early days of g1 rooting and I think it was a limitation of early Android releases.
3 = journaling support (unnecessary imo) no size limit. (in practical terms in this use)
4 = new, not well tested, possibly unstable, journaling, no size limit.
I reckon ext2 but I'm sure having posted this someone else will suggest a reason that 3 or 4 is better. Do some messing about. See if you can come up with any useful findings! I'm all ears!
have read someware that ext3 is more stable so the choise is with ext2 fast or ext3 stability imho.
i don't think you will notice the difference in speed, i prefere ext3

I think journaling is a consideration too. I don't fully understand journaling but above this there is a post pointing out the extra write cycles. Is this going to effect battery life/sd card life?
1) i don't think about battery maybe a couple of second per day?
2) this is why most people suggest a Class 6 cards that support wear leveling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_levelling
more info about file system and why ext3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3
citation: "Its main advantage over ext2 is journaling which improves reliability and eliminates the need to check the file system after an unclean shutdown."
and for what i know when you turn off the phone the ext3 partition is not unmounted
hey well i was hoping if anyone can help me with this i would be most gratefull ive installed a couple roms before s-off ect ive downloaded the files for StarBurst rom and i no how to install
but when it comes to apps2sd+ or data2ext mostly what ive seen are people saying choose whatever partition size you like but then to contradict it usually later on pages into the forum you find the same people saying only format it with 2gb no more then that or other amounts or different swap file sizes
so i guess what im asking is there a set limit to how much different roms can use for the ext partition without it affecting performance obviously if people suggest a certain filesize and no more it would make me think theres a pros cons basis to exceeding certain ext filesizes i have looked around for an answer i never find a direct one addressing this
i have a sandisk 32gb micro sd so if i wanted a 5 gb ext or 10 gb i have more then enough space to do so
thanks for any help in this matter

Think there are talking about internal sd card with ext (linux fs partitons) but not about ext (external sd card) with fat32 and ext file system ...
and cherry on the cake ... ext4 partition on external sd card can't be use by android :
I recently installed root explorer in my milestone xt720 (dexter's froyo) and i found out that there is more than 100 MB free memory in cache folder, while on the other hand i am running low on memory for my apps and RAM. I barely get 30 MB free with no apps running in the background. This makes my phone really slow even when its overclocked to 1Ghz. So is there any way i can use some of the free memory from cache as RAM or as data for downloading apps? Thanks
Nope. Just nope.
Yup, FJFalcon is right. The idea sounds pretty good. If you could use the internal flash as a swap it seems like it would be much faster than the sd-card swap. But there are too many problems with this idea. First, it that would involve some sort of weird partitioning of the internal memory (which Motorola prevents on this phone -- locked bootloader). Second, on most ROMs with a clean install you get something around 70MB free space on /system and around 130MB free space on /data. So you're really looking at 200MB at most, and that's assuming you don't install any of your apps on the internal space and no cache for any programs. You COULD throw all the apps on the sd-card (Link2SD), but you'd get a performance hit there and then with no cache...ouch. It would get pretty complicated pretty quickly. So I think that's the long answer for FJFalcon's reply.
thanks alot fjfalcon and thejaycan
but as far as ive seen this phone never uses upto 100 MB cache and, using this phone for so long, it gets frustrating seeing all that space wasted!
i wish something could have been done.
Is there a way to use memory in ur sdcard as ram for ur phone, so i can increase the performance. i think u can, so if u now how to can u post a link?
And i am using MikRunny rom

IIRC, there is a mod to use either a partition or a file on your MicroSD card for SWAP space... which is basically where programs that normally reside in ram would go when not in use... think its one by sparksco...
however, I dont see hardly any kernels with it built in these days... its a GOD SEND on my HD2 and Hero... Id love to use SWAP partition on all my devices...
hope someone more knowledgeable about whats out will reply
First this is the wrong thread for questions and answers.
And yes we have a few kernals that allow swap. But the rom as well needs to have that available from what I recall. Think cm uses 128 max though. I know there is a miui rom that uses swap here too. Does come in handy. You will need to reformat your sd card for swap if your going to use it. There is also ext3 and 4 and that acts like available storage space for your phone. I would only use 1-1.5 gb for that though. Some of these big games only want to go on your sd card.

One of our biggest supporters of swap has actually decided it's not such a good idea.
And it does not speed things up. It slows things down. Even with a class 10 sd card.

I was using swap for quite some time and it seemed to work really well for awhile and then started to cause my phone a lot of lock-ups after awhile. I think it was just eating up my sdcard too much. And it has been proven that swap wears on your sdcard quite a bit. I don't think it's worth it. There's a script made by Darkky that patches memory leaks in roms that seems to work good. I include these in a lot of roms and my memory always stays above 80mb.

What people fail to understand is that SWAP or fake ram is INHERENTLY IOPS sensitive... that being said, NONE of the Class 10 MicroSD cards have had ANYWHERE NEAR good enough IOPS for SWAP intensive operations... On my HD2 I went through testing 10 MicroSD cards of different Class's and sizes to find out which gave me the best performance while using SWAP and what gave me the best IOPS, Sadly, out of them all, only a Class 4 and Class 6, where anywhere decent enough to be good enough to function as SWAP devices... I mean 4 other ones worked... but you could tell with these 2....

It makes perfect sense... lets take game files from an SSD and transfer them to a HDD... while RAM and MicroSD both use NAND/Flash memory, its still a medium transfer as well! ERGO if you have a crappy IOPS MicroSD card, your going to notice slowdowns and wait times while things in RAM are swapped out to SWAP and vice versa... I guess the best comparison is using the SLEEP function on Windows 7 VS the Hibernation function...

yeah SWAP eats the CRAP out of your MicroSD card... proven fact... HOWEVER, if your like me, 8GB and 16GB cards are rather cheep these days, I totally dont mind spending $10-30 every 6~ months buying a new MicroSD card if it keeps my OLD device speedy... (pun intended)
I got a link around here that I posted somewhere with like 4-6 different MicroSD test run results... will edit this post and link it later...
Oh, and yeah, this belongs in Q&A... but I cant blame you... its a legacy device... and I only visit the Android development section for any device I use... :X
EDIT1: "halrulez" my HD2 running on the NIGHTLY CM7 builds has ZERO problems using/utilizing my 1GB SWAP partition... its all kernel/romsetup based...
EDIT2: some things I thought I should point out after I re-read my own post... in the Windows Sleep V Hibernation statement, when in Sleep, the RAM is kept on, and thus requires no loading time, in Hibernation, RAM is stored on the HDD/SSD and must be transferred back onto RAM before it will boot... I also forgot that I backup my MicroSD's contents with Dropbox and Box software, as well as backup's that are performed whenever I plugin my Phone or MicroSD to my desktop or laptop...
There are apps like juwe11's ram app, rom toolbox has a memory settings, script manager in combination with v6 supercharger script (which I highly recommend, as it helps prevent sense reloads), auto killer memory, etc. Each phone has a "brain" of it's own. My phone likes v6 or auto killer memory, but other phones like juwe11's ramscript/app. Trial and error. Good luck, and post your results if you want to.

That is a good explaintion. But personally I don't want to be the guy that releases a rom with swap already in it and get the guilt of someone's sdcard breaking. As drob311 said there's apps and other ways of making it work and my rom/kernel does still support these other ways of using it.

you do know that you can enable SWAP in a rom, but make it contained to SWAP PARTITION only? ergo if they made a SWAP partition on their MicroSD card... hence you have zero liability if said card breaks... you have to have SOME knowledge to repartition a MicroSD card properly for a SWAP partition
BTW, I fully support enabling it that way, it also leads the way to making the script for SWAP file vs partition easier because the ROM is ready for it, its just not enabled unless someone inserts the custom script OR has the proper partition for SWAP!

Yes I know. I already had a swap script for swap partition for cm7 but you need a custom cmparts.apk since cm decided to disable all swap on their roms. Plus I didn't really feel like repartitioning my sdcard once it started acting up. I'll probably just make a seperate add-on to flash over the roms for it if people want it.

im cool with that
actually, if someone can get YES/NO in CWM like on my HD2 you can put it all in the rom and they can choose right at the get-go
that being said, you can still use the custom cmparts.apk even w/o using swap partition... not that big of a conflict since if you have SWAP partition it works if not its disabled... only the functionality is present... and you dont have to maintain a separate script/package/whatever...
also, if your SDCard is acting up, use the SDCard formatter do a full format, then use HD low level format tool... or if you bought HDD Regenerator like me, its easy to find the health of your SD Media... but thats a moot matter... and im done talking for the night i think... (well the night ends in 3min... :X )

You can actually use compcache with out swapping to sd. But any swap introduces latency so it negates most gains achieved. So more apps might not get killed off as quick allowing them to reopen faster but forground apps suffer from the latency and compression.

AFAICT non of our kernels support compcache. It's a patch you have to apply to the kernel itself in order to make it work.

I was told in a thread that 128 was Max on swap but I'm always willing to try new things. I did come from my old Heroc was a great phone to first start of on, till it took a crap on me.,lol meaning my mother in law threw it in the washing machine. Then my son threw my wifes in the toilet. Was great because of the best buy protection. Loved the old device but the shift is like night and day. Don't really use the keyboard. what is all I would need to do to use more swap? I haven't had any lock UPS what so ever. Class 4 8GB btw.

Hello,everyone!
I have a Nexus 5 whose ram size is about 2GB. Now, I want to change the ram size to 1G or anything else below 2.
Do you have any idea? If so, please share with us now. I'll appreciate that very much!
Someone told me that I might try the bootloader, but I havn't figured that out yet. Please help me out! Thanks again!
Hi,
But... Why do you want to reduce your RAM size????
RAM is allocated to user apps, system, GPU, etc... it's possible (for some devices) to re allocate the RAM for the GPU (a little more) for example at kernel level, but here you want to re allocate 1 Gb of RAM, seriously? Why? Even if it was possible, here what do you expect?
For other devices with an unlock bootloader it's the system partition size (I don't remember the exact name) you re allocate to be used for the user (apps), maybe it will be possible in the future for the N5?
But here, honestly, I don't uderstand why you want that

Firstly, thanks for your response!
Now I'm doing a series of experiments on swap partition. For the ram size of N5 is a little too large to make use of the swap area I created.
So I want to make the ram size small enough so that the device could run out of memory and would swap things out to emmc(swap area).
Have I made it clear to you? Looking forward to your reply!:fingers-crossed:
Hi,
Yes it's a little clearer, maybe, but why do you want that? What kind of experimentation are you doing? It's totaly counter productive...
Some apps like Ram Manager for example (Play Store) can create a swap file, there is also some kernel like Faux123 with, grrr don't remember exactly the name, something like Zramswap or... not sure...
But you don't reduce the RAM size, on 2Gb, you have about 1,8 Gb free for the system, apps and that's all, you can't reduce this part. At the end with a clean and light system booted you have about 1,6 Gb free. What you want will virtualy increase the RAM size (with the swap file).
In any case with the app above, use it to create and use your swap file, open one or two "big" apps, a game and you will see that it is used...
Tweak also the OOM settings to run Out Of Memory earlier, see Google.
You want reduce the amount of free RAM not reduce the RAM size. For me it's not the same thing.
Or I don't understand again, and I'm sorry. But I don't see the point...

Well, actually it's quite simple. The Nexus 5's RAM size is too large(ok, it's about 1.8Gb free or less). Even After I have run a lot of apps, there are still serval hundred Mb RAM free(Maybe I can run more apps, but it doesn't worth. Or I should choose another device with smaller RAM size. But that's out of my budget). Yes, as you said I want to reduce the amount of free RAM. But reducing the RAM size can also work for me.
All in all, I want to see the benefit of swap area through the experimnt?
Ok, my friend, you have got that right? It's ok, if you still feel confused. I'm glad to tall with you!
Cant you increase swappiness?

Just use scavenger pro and slight of hand pro. Then you never run out of memory and you can swap apps really fast!!!!
