i really don kno how to use the a2sd on fitdroid v2.0
can someone plz help?

Dude, ull first have partition your sd card. Then only u can use darktremor apps to sd. To partion your sd card, go to recovery mod>advanced>partition>and then select the size of partition. Atleast 512mb of partition is recommended.
After doing that,reboot ur phone and now a2sd should work without any issues!
Feel free to ask if u still have any problem

maybe this coud help you
IF U WANT DARKTREMOR A2SD TO WORK THEN U HAVE TO PARTITION UR SDCARD.
TO PARTITION FIRST TAKE BACKUP OF UR SDCARD AS IT NEEDS TO FORMAT UR CARD WHICH WILL ERASE ALL UR SD CONTENT.
IN CWM MENU GOTO ADVANCED MENU.
SELECT PARTITION SDCARD.
SELECT SIZE U WISH(512 or above) AND SELECT 62 or above AS SWAP VALUE.
WAIT FOR SOME TIME AND RESTART UR DEVICE....
TO CHECK A2SD WORKING OR NOT GOTO APP DRAWER MENU AND OPEN A2SDGUI APP AND CHECK APPS ARE ON SD IS ENABLED....
if it is active, you can move the Dalvik cache to sd card by selecting the Dalvik cache on SD-EXT and press Move button and reboot phone
sory for my language

tried that, did not work

hi, i tried all of this as you mentioned...
eventually, this darktremor a2sd stopped my apps from being moved at all and it kept on saying that i don't have enough memory... though i know i should have... any thoughts??

Okay, a question from me...
Is it possible to have this swap setup in the stock gingerbread rom (ddkq5)???
Can anybody give a step-by-step tutorial, or maybe just a link, along with a list of all the necessary apps/other stuff that will be needed..??
I have a 16gb memory card in my galaxy fit...

I run Creed´s ROM 1.5 and there is also Darktremor included.
I thought SD was automatical formatted with ext4 by installing it. So I am a little puzzled to see, that moving to SD does not work as well as swap option.
Could you tell me, what is the matter?^^
Edit: Found out by my own, followed the same steps as mentioned above for FITDroid. Works on Creed´s ROM 1.5 as well. Only Disadvantage I found was it reduces my 8GB SD to 4096MB (couldn´t select higher at CWM) also after moving Dalvik, system boot seems to loop .. had to recover (good I did before )

[Q] any1 knw hw to fix dalvik-cache mv 2 sd in creedsv2

hey guys i am new i really want to know if some one can fix r there's way to fix problem i.e
in creeds rom v2 dalvik-cache move to sd dont work i m stuck on boot loop for hours n i need a solution as in v1.7.2 i had 125 apps now i cant even install 50 of them....plz help.

maybe there's no ext4 partition?

no coz in v1.7.2 i made partition and of 512mb and moved dalvik-cache to sd and 64mb swap but a2sd is working well in v2 jus the move to sd function is not working as described by mr.creedo himself in the thread...n m still using v1.7.2 with sd-ext...
i think its coz of either rom or the kernel coz v2 is based on cmptly new firmware but in v.1.7.2 it is giving no such problem.

try link2sd...

Dalvik cache to sd is not working for now.Even i tried to do so but it din't work and i had to reflash. May be creed will come up with a solution

i have been studying android in deep and i think these steps might help via link2sd
and FAT2 partition

ya that is ungaze script...already implemented in cm7.2 rc5.5 by asad007
I haven't tried partition tool...I partitioned via cwm...
and your secondary partition should be ext2/3, not fat32...

I partitioned ext 4 via windows. Putted ungaze script. Working . Same benchmark as without script. I am on rc 5,5

Het guys please becarefull about the partition thing..
Because its very risky and you better have backup of your sdcard ane save that backups at your PC or notebook..
Some of my friends has been loosing all of his data because of it.

When u first time partitioning sd card, it will remove all your sd card stuff ofcourse. Just put it on desktop and move back when partition is done.

Enter Recovery Mode by holding POWER + HOME;
With the Volume Down key (-) and High Volume (+) and navigate to the HOME key Select "advanced";
Select "partition SD Card"
In the next window you should choose the partition size.
If you have a 2GB card to advise you put 512mb 1024mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 2048mb.
And finally select the size of the swap partition for extra memory.
If you have an urge to put 2gb card 128mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 256mb.
enter the Market and install the program Links2SD
to open the program you should choose ext3 and press ok> then superuser permission> and after that restart your phone.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program.
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.

Press OK to start, and all your applications ready to go to memory that was created ext3.
Now we will install and configure the Swapper. Lower application, install the application by the Market, after check the Active on Boot Swap on Swap File Position sure "EXT Partition SD Card" in "Swap File Size" set a value as the size of the partition created in ext, I suggest that is a partition of 1024 put 250 if a partition of 2048 put 512 of superuser permissions and restart the phone.

I wouldn't recommend swapper...
long story short, it'll start affecting performance...and do more bad than good...
swap partition is basically virtual ram...but the problem with this is, our phones ram is fast, while even the best of sd cards can't match that...
so you may get better performance initially, but soon you'll regret having a swap partition...

[Q] sd-ext Mounting problem in galaxy fit

HELP!!!! Link2SD not mounting Sd-ext partition
every time while opening this app it asks for type of partition I'm using and then asks for reboot
I chose ext3 as I'm using teejay's CWM
I even check the type of partition using Minitool and it says ext3 and primary
why Link2Sd not mounting sd-ext then?? plz Help
I'm using chocobread 3.2
And as it already has S2E so before doing all this I had uninstalled S2E using root explorer method.
I selected 512mb size
swap size= 0mb
I'm using verbatim class 4 sd card(4 GB)
I followed these steps to partition SD card and Setting up Link2SD by A.cid given in thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27132543#post27132543
Q) How to create a sd partition?
A) You will need
• A good micro sd-card, with a class greater than 4
(the class is usually printed on the card itself, it’s the number inside the letter ‘C’)
• A rooted galaxy fit running android 2.3.x (preferably on a stock rom), with ClockworkMod recovery
Steps:
• Backup all your data.
• Reboot into CWM.
• Go under “advanced”>”partition sd card”.
• Select the size of your second partition (On my first try, I made a partition of 1024MB but found it too big with a lot of space unused, so I deleted the partition and made a new one of 512MB)
This is your choice, choose one depending on the total size of your card, the no. of apps/games you’ll have etc.
• After selecting that, select swap size as 0MB (This one also is your choice, but I’ll explain why to take 0MB, and not anything else)
• Now wait till the process is completed, and reboot.
As far as I know, CWM v5 makes a partition of EXT3 format.
Q) Why to select swap size as 0MB?
A) Swap partition is made with the objective of utilizing it as VIRTUAL RAM. Now this may sound as a good thing, but in reality the ram in our fit is way faster than the average class 10 micro sd-card. So, instead of speeding up your system, it will slow down your system horribly after a certain point.
So, in short, you shouldn’t be using a swap partition, hence there is no point in creating one if you are not utilizing it.
Steps to setup Link2sd:
• Download Link2sd from Play Store (it’s a free app).
• After it gets installed, run it, and allow root access.
• You will get a message to select the format of your sd partition, select “ext3”.
• Link2sd will then automatically create mount scripts that it requires to work, and will then tell you to reboot your phone.
• Do a proper reboot, and not a ‘hot reboot’.
• After rebooting, open up Link2sd, press menu then select “settings”.
• Select/check the options “automatically link newly installed applications to sd”, “auto link notification”, “relink lib files at boot” (and “fast scroll”, if you want).
• For “install location” option, select “internal”.
• Then go to “auto link settings” and select/check all the three options (you can skip/ unselect “link dalvik-cache file” if you wish)
• Done
Now, every new app that you will install will automatically be moved to your sd ext partition.[/INDENT]

That's normal, the task manager just displays the internal memory of the phone, I'm using S2E with Official Cyanogenmod and it works fine.

Use titanium backup or sd maid , these apps could show the size of your ext4 partition
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium

you can mount your ext partition from cwm recovery - mount and storage - mount sd ext and reboot ...then in link2sd go in storage info you can see the sizes of partitions

[TUTORIAL] Increase RAM in Micromax A56...Root Needed

Hey Guys...i've found a way after lots of research and experiments a way to increase RAM in Micromax A56 (thanks to xda). Unlike most of the devices A56 supports swap default by its stock kernel.
ROOT NEEDED....BUSYBOX NEEDED. !!!
Note - This Mod May/Will Degrade Your SDCARD Life.
Needed Apps - Swapper for root and Swapper2 (Download these from Playstore)
SETTING UP SWAPPER FOR ROOT
1. Click on Active Swap on boot.
2. Set swap file partition to - "SD Card FAT Partition"
3. Enter "512" or "256" in swap file size(in MB).
4. Click Save it will take some time about 2-4 minutes depending upon the swap file size we created. (you can experiment with the swap file size).
SETTING UP SWAPPER2 :-
1. Open Swapper2.
2. U'll see a black screen, click on ads off.
3. Now go to settings, Make sure you have "Run swapper at startup" box checked. Go to swap place and change it to "/sdcard/swap.swp".
4. Now Click on swap size and choose 256mb(you can experiment with the digits).
5. Go to swappiness and set it to 100.
6. Check the boxes "Safe Unmount" and "Safe Remount".
7. Now go to "Advanced Prefrences"-->Check the box "Reformat swap".
8. Leave everything else as it is...Don't touch anything and exit settings come to main screen of swapper2.
NEXT STEP-----> ACTION..!!!!
1. Click on "ON" Button. It will/may show some fails but don't freak out(its normal), Wait untill it shows "All Done!"
3. Now we are done...!!!! Now check ur sdcard, you will see a file named "swap.swp".
4. Now download Advanced Task Killer from the market and kill all the running apps and go and see ur free RAM. You will see more RAM free than usual. But in actual u have more than that cuz we just created a swap in our SDCARD.
NOW you can play Games which require heavy ram usage ( I love that..!!!) Like Temple Run, Asphalt 6, etc. Some games may still show little lags.
If you want more performance while gaming, download Chainfire3D and All its plugins and play.
If this helped you Click THANKS to help me.
This method can work for other devices too...TRY and SEE...!!!

Test post.

Hope now its visible to other members also.

Hi, I have finally managed to root the A56. Installed the Swapper for Root & the Swapper2 apps from PlayStore.
When I open SfR and select the option 'Active Swap on Boot', there is no option for SD Card FAT Partition. It just comes up blank.
I have created a secondary partition on the SD card using the Mini Home Partition tool as FAT32.
What am I doing wrong??

ur sdcard shud be of FAT filesystem

Does the microSD need to be FAT16 or FAT32??
The microSD has been formatted as FAT32. Does swapper need a new partition to work on as apps2SD does? Or will it work on the default partition?

Mine is working on FAT filesystem...can also work on fat32 no new partition needed.

how much ram do you get after doing this

in running services it shows 40-50mb ram...
it does not show more ram but it is usex when an app which requires more ram is launched.
if u dont understand this clearly...read the true meaning of swapping...on xda or on wikipedia.

First root your device then install clockworkmod recovery for xperia j. After that boot into recovery by turning off you phone then turn on again when Sony logo appears continually press vol- key. When recovery screen appears use vol- and vol+ to navigate the menu and power to select. Navigate to advanced then partition sd card. Select how big you want the ext partition this is for your apps then how big you want swap partiton then partition sd. Then download link2sd from google play and install. Open the app accept superuser prompt then a screen will popup asking for the format of your partition choose ext4. Then it will say mount scripts created please reboot your device then there you go done. To move your apps open link2sd then press menu then multi select all the apps that cant be moved the tick box will be faded out. After you've selected all apps press actions then create link after its finished all your apps will be on the partition and not your system. After that to auto link newly installed apps press menue settings and check auto link apps. WARNING!!!! Partitioning the sd will wipe it so backup to pc or laptop first. For rooting and clockworkmod recovery ther are numorous threads around this forum to tell you how. Hope this helps you.
