[MOD] HardSwap Partition - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve

Ok our device is great without ram assistance the reason i decided to get this mod ported is I still have my 530mb Linux swap partition on my 64GB SD card from when I was using it on my GT-I9300 and I didn't really want to re-partition my SD-card so instead of wiping it off I might aswel use it as SWAP and hey if anything it will help our devices , it wont hurt it. And yes I know we have plenty of ram but ay if there is even the slightest chance it may help down the track why not ay? Ok so if you want to know about the MOD here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814311&highlight=swap
But do not download the MOD zip on that thread as it is not ported to our device: bellow is our version of the mod.
-=ATTENTION=-If you have installed my rom > [PANDORIAM] < or any other rom with Busybox and Init.D support then just skip to the second step
1st STEP - Note you will need Root access, A kernel with support, I am using >>> (Perseus) by Andreilux & Init.d support Look at my other thread if you do not have Init.D support it can be easily done. Also to have Init.D support you will need BusyBox I reccomend Stericson Busybox . Once downloaded and installed open it and Make sure you choose to install busybox files in >>>>>> system/xbin you will see an option for this when you open up the busybox app.
2nd STEP - You also need a partition to be used as swap. I used a mini-tool partition Home edition (Free) Now when you make your partition use the first partition section of your SD-card for your main partition that you always use, then leave some space at the end of the SD-card (I would say no more then 250mb and this is probably more then enough for our devices) to make your swap partition please note the partition type HAS to be -=Linux Swap=- now thats all done................................
Instructions are very simple. Go into Recovery Mode > Choose to install zip from sd-card > select the hard-swap zip file > reboot
If you want to uninstall do the same thing but flash the uninstall zip instead.
If you want more clear detailed description and also instructions about this mod then goto the main thread I pasted above. I tried to test this mod by opening every app i can think off and not closing them to try and see if the swap will be used, I managed to get almost 6.5mb of the swap in use LOOL you can see how good our memory is, as time goes on and your device does not get switched off, this amount will likely rise or go down depending on what you do for example after a day of hectic use it actually reached 30mb of swap used but after awhile this went back down (Because our phone is a machine!! ).... Oh well I guess my device is now even more future proof
Thanks to Yank555 for porting this for us this also Andreilux for his awesome kernel and whoever else I missed. Peace V

... and you need a kernel.

Oh Really? Well I am using yours so I guess why I didnt have any problems. I will Now update the OP
Thank you

I'm about to try. Thank you!

I am interested to see if this effects performance much. I suspect benchmark figures might increase but you wouldnt really expect to see any real world advantages? Wouldnt mind to hear other opinons.

I assume it would only take affect under heavy load and heavy multitasking... I dont think it would affect benchmark at all.

When I mean heavy Load I meant heavy Multitasking... I dont think benchmarking stimulates multitasking... I mean if I am wrong correct me.
thought benchmarking only loads up the CPU and GPU mostly

Not sure if this a coincedence
Well ay you might be right but i am not sure... As I just did a quadrant run and its the highest score i have got since I had this phone. But I think it is just a coencedence

What did you get beforehand? I only get 5543. Maybe we should have a benchmark post?
EDIT : Also why is your battety circle blue and not green? Do you have jellybean looking toggle buttons or the big green samsung ones?

I have the the Mod installed that has 15 toggles (Blue design), I also have installed the Extended power menu mod. My previous score is around 7000 But I am overclocked to 1.7ghz with Perseus Kernel and i am not sure if this makes a difference but I am deodexed/zipaligned and I have removed all bloatware.

Ah of course I forgot yoh had the oc happening. I should give it a run and see how it goes. I have XXLI9 with no bloatware. Cant seem to get extended power menu to work though.
Which oc app do you use?

I am using Rom Toolbox Pro, As it has app manager similar to titanium backup... It has Terminal Emulator it has OC tool. even has a Root explorer I love that app they are all great apps intergrated together in one

I don't get it... we have 2GB of ram on a mobile phone, what are you doing that requires a swap file on top of that may I ask?
though, if it's just because you can, then very well haha!
tbh on a mobile device I firmly believe the main use of a swap file is to wear your SDcard down faster.

LOOL yeh it is mainly because I can hahah and because i didnt want to re-partition my SD-Card so instead of having 530mb wasted, I used it for swap, and i thought i may aswell share it. And yes if the swap is heavly used it may wear it down faster which is why i said create the small partition at the end of the sdcard so it wont affect the majority. And because we have 2gb it wont be used very often so should be fine that being said people on devices have been using hardswap for over a year without damaging anything. And thats with a device with less memory so its actually in use alot more then ours

Wifi tweak on the X10. (Moved to development)

Hey guys I got a tweak from wolfs Rom working on my x10 that increases the signal greatly. Watch the how to video here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy0r-o1Bh9Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I now have over a 10000 kbps connection just like his in the video. Pretty cool.
First step unzip the file in your sd card then open the file via root explorer
Next go into system/etc/init.d and copy the modules script using root explorer.
Next go to your system on the actual phone (not the sd card) then go.to etc then find the folder called init.d. (if you dont have it flash this via recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236446
Then place modules in the init folder.
Next go back to your sd card where the 4.0.4 thing is and go into system*etc and copy the entire. Install sh recovery folder then go back to the actual phone and go to.system/etc and just paste it there and select yes if it asks u to overwrite something.
Finally find the install recovery thing
you just copied and click it once and press execute.
Then your done.
How to test if it worked. Before u do the tweak download speed test from the market and test your current wifi speed. After tweak test it again. Note it may require a reboot.
Get it here. http://www.datafilehost.com/get.php?file=a18d42a6

you do realize that overwriting install-recovery.sh will overwrite any other init.d scripts the person might have and also any tweaks put in there by the dev (if you are using it on any other rom than wolfbreaks)?
You shouldn't be advising people to do stuff like this without at least warning them about what they're doing.

Whoa, dude. That's WAY too big. I am working on my 1st rom with the help of some of the devs around here. I can assure you that ain't gonna work. You will run out of memory too fast even with apps2sd. Simple is best. Remove all the bloatware. Compress all your apk's as much as you can. Test the rom for a day or so, if things are acting funny try to reduce your compression. Otherwise, keep it as slim as possible, that way if people screw up their phones from too little memory, you aren't to blame. Just a heads up.

Good idea. Be careful though, this only helps so much and some stuff gets broken when you use this method. I totally think apps2sd is the way to go, but be cautious. Good luck, brother.

[Q] Super charger script

A lot of people here have something in their signatures, called the "supercharger script", which they use along with the rom of their choice...I googled up the script and found that it can be implemented on any rom and device...but before I proceeded I just wanted to confirm...
1) How did you implement this on our device?? On which rom/s???
2) Does it actually improve performance without negatively affecting battery life???
3) What version of the script do you use, along with which version of busybox??? (I have ver1.17.2, so is it okay?)
4) Since that script consists of a lot of combinations, which one do you prefer???
And, if I am not wrong, then this is the official thread:

1. I implemented this one my device using Script Manager app ( Get it from Market) and have used it on all ROMs so far.....
2. Yes, performance increased and no battery life was affected.
3. I used the same BusyBox version as yours - 1.17.2.
4. I don't exactly remember what option I used but you can select one according to your choice when you are asked....

Thank you for your reply, but this post is relatively old...so I tried it out on my own...but it unfortunately didn't work...whatever option I tried, it made my launcher bulletproof (which is the opposit of what I wanted)...so I went back and "un-supercharged"...maybe I did something work (or maybe it interferes with some scripts in creed's v1.6)...
i see two diferent apps on market BusyBox and BusyBox Installer, wich one do i need?

[MOD of ROM]Frayo v1.1 - 1/12/2012 (FroyobyLaszlo mod)

Ok here's my little FroyobyLaszlo mod. YES ITS A TERRIBLE EVIL WINZIP
Pretty much all the credit should go to him (Laszlo) for this ROM!
Once I start doing some more advanced tweaking then I'll be able to give myself some credit without feeling guilty
Pretty much the main new feature is that you can customize what system apps to flash.
Changes:
-complete
~in progress
Code:
~1.2
~system mount as rw on boot will become an option
-1.1
-system mounted as rw on boot
-customization(install.txt)
*So all those apps I removed can now be customized if they install or not
-updated LauncherPro to latest version 0.8.6 as of 1/9/2012
1.0 (from froyobylaszlo)
-edited update script, made the installation a bit more detailed and informative
-removed calendar
-removed onscreenkeyboard (faster! use your slide out keyboard!)
-removed livewallpapers picker
-removed text to speech
-removed protips widget
-removed voice dialer
-added stock sounds and fonts
-added gmail
-added youtube
-changed bootscreen
Download:
1.1 - ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?unp8qba8pp7rqas
Install Config: http://hostfile.org/install.txt (rightclick>save as...)
1.0 - ROM: http://www.sendspace.com/file/o2auyh
Install Instructions:
First of all you need to have radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d. Instructions on install are here.
Then you should partition your sd like so:
swap (i really recommend it) somewhere around 120 plus/minus 50mb...im being very approximate here...it depends on how much space you're willing to give up
ext4 (recommend it too) depends on how many apps you want...512mb will probably be enough for most
Wipe your phone with a superwipe. Then do all the wipe options in recovery and do "repair ext"
Download the needed files.
Open up install.txt with your favorite text editor and edit it to what you want to install. Default is everything install. Don't add any extra spaces or anything to the file. Only change "yes" to "no" and "no" to "yes".
Copy frayo-signed.zip and install.txt to the root of your SD card.
Flash it in recovery.
Once its done reboot and follow onscreen instructions to sign in and stuff (or you can skip).
Now here are some settings you need to set:
If you have sd-ext partition:
Settings>Extras>Application>Allow moving
Settings>Extras>Application>Install Location>Sd-ext
If you have swap:
Settings>Extras>Performance>Swap
Recommended:
Settings>Extras>Performance>Lock Home in Memory
I don't recommend changing CPU settings
To fix black clock in notification bar:
Settings>Extras>User Interface>Reset UI Tweaks
I really recommend you turn off market updates, the new market is too slow:
Open terminal emulator.
Type
Code:
su
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
If the market manages to sneak in an update before you do this go to Settings>Applications>Manage>Market>Uninstall updates
Reboot and Enjoy!

if your going to make an aosp rom do a gingerbread, froyo never has been too perfect for the g1. granted there are a a few out there that run pretty well (laszlos and im sure yours) but the devs seem to get 2.3 working a hell of a lot better then 2.2 on the g1s
frankenbread?
Ill see...
I just think gingerbread will be too slow
I'm actually compiling aosp froyo for the g1 right this second
Just to try it out
And I think my computer might not be powerful enough to compile gingerbread...well I don't think so but that's what the android source site says
According to the android source site id need a lot more RAM...
We'll see, because I also don't have enough space for the gingerbread source, and I don't want to repartition my drive right now because activating windows was a pain already last time

heres a theme i made that is similar to the Cianbread theme from theme chooser, make sure you back up the rom just incase it bootloops..

[App] SWAPit RAM EXPANDER - Increase Internal Memory

Hey Charge users!
I'm a first time poster long time lurker. I've had this Charge since June 2011 and have flashed many roms from Kejar31's Gummycharged thru Dwitherell's Tweaked (currently on 1.5) and I've always seemed to be limited by the 512MB internal ram which shows ~220/380MB taken after the rom boots depending on what rom you're using. As you add apps this memory gets eaten up and when you forget to push to sd, the phone starts lagging.
People run the script with SQlite 3, run V6 supercharger memory management, clear cache and dalvik cache, etc.
I've heard of a "swapper" before upon first learning android terms but have never seen it discussed thoroughly on the charge threads. I got a class 10 samsung sdhc card and replaced my stock class 4 card, and have allocated 1.5 GB for space on the sdhc card to act as extra RAM and really notice the difference in multitasking. Now my Boat Browser retains the web pages I was viewing in other tabs even after I've gone back to the home screen (doesn't have to reload).
Requirements: Rooted, have a sdhc card that will read faster than 6MB/s (according to the dev), and be running a compatible kernel (im using pbj 0130).
Things I've noticed in my 2 days of usage so far:
- phone faster, responsive
- can handle multitasking much better
- can handle heavy apps like vlingo
- negligible effect on battery life thus far, although if you leave too many things open I can imagine it killing battery life
- have not tried but dev says in description that you can allocate up to 2.5GB of extra ram
In Play Store search: "swapit ram expander"
Hope this helps others out! I know the app is expensive, and I'm in no way related to or even know the dev. Just thought this would ease a lot of frustration on the charge threads and keep ppl from jumping ship for a while! Please post back if you try this with a stock class 4 sdhc to give feedback for others.
Thanks for reading!

PBJ has swap capability built in...you just have to enable it. However, performance is always going to suffer, whether you notice it or not. For me, the performance difference is negligible until I try to play music, then it's bad....skipping/stuttering and the like, and I don't care how fast you SD card is, its going to be hard to avoid that.
Our RAM is really only a limitation for very heavy multitasking, and I haven't run into a scenario where I actually thought I needed more.

Would the constant writing have the potential to shorten your sd card life?

Are you going to keep this phone past 2020? Modern SD cards have the longevity to run through millions of full erase and writes.
By the way, is there any free equivalent to this?

So it would exponentially shorten it, but even the exponentially shortened life is probably not going to matter because its such a long time period....got it.
Thanks

How is making the file /data/local/useswap hard?
Code:
adb shell touch /data/local/useswap
adb reboot

He didn't say it was hard... he just asked if there was an easy way because he didn't know what all the answer entailed.

Derp. I think I'll just leave it alone. I don't have many problems.

helpppPPP-- please , in detail
galaxy note n7000 jb leak rooted , philz kernel<IS MY KERNEL SUPPORTED(IF Not any sugg.)>
32 gb class 10 sd card
Getting Problem
I m getting problem while creating swap file.I t just create it and then kill it by itself and then restart making swap file.
After boot doesnt work
I created 1 GB swap file in my sd card and it showed total ram 1.6 gb. I could see Swapit icon running in status bar but once i boot the phone it doesnt read swap file automatically spite being autorun is selected. Even swapit icon also doesnt appear in notification bar. I hace swap file intact in my sd card. Any solution for it?
Help!
Right now m using siyah kernel on my s2 with android 4.4.2 kitkat! I just wanna know that the app states perfect kernel! What does that mean? Can you suggest which kernel is perfect? And secondly i also experienced boot loop problems? Can you tell how to fix it?
