[Q] Class 10 SD Card, Swap and Beach Buggy Blitz

Hello,
I want some pretty serious and knowledgeable guys here.
Can a Class 10 card with the highest read and writes and swap partition run Beach Buggy Blitz without lag, like the S III does and some other RAM hungry games.

I would say yes, but then it's an ultimate SD card killer. If you are using CM10 or its descendant / derivatives; go to settings > Performance > Memory Management > zRAM and choose the amount to be compressed. You may also want to use Kernel Same-page Memory compression and asset purgeable settings, try them if it solves the problems also. You can also monitor the compcache using ZRAM Status app from Play Store.
There is some Swappable apps, I will find them and link to here.

Okay so I have done some testing with my Class 6 SD Card and the results are impressive.
If I set swappiness to 100 and change the read ahead for the SD to 128 KB on CM10, Beach Buggy Blitz and MC4 run like a charm with no lag. I can even access the multitasking window without problem and change my volume without lag. Also MC4 runs faster than ever.
I will be going to use it like this until my SD Card dies.

Great. Also, if you use UHS-1 card, that would be handled a bit better due to TRIM. And, don't forget you can size the swap cache partition - up to the maximum of 32-bit physical address, in this case, up to 3 GB EXT2/4 swap, if you want to.

ram expander 2.1.1

this app is used to increase ram and performance in ur android phone, everyone tells that this degrades sd cards life but its working great for me, i purchased it from playstore and it checks licince verification, if u can crack its licence crack this app and install it on ur phone , sorry i have backuped it but cant crack it, do it if u can and enjoy the app
Please try before you buy with 'Memory Info & swapfile check' their device! This is the most powerful version ever! Exclusive only here in Play Goals!
Insufficient RAM, memory is too small? This need not be! Use your SD card as a working memory expansion!
A great programmer once said to insufficient RAM RAM only helps. Convince yourself how right this man had.
Finally, more memory with a click! Memory from Android 1.6 up with root access and external SD card! More memory means that background tasks can not be completed, and many programs will work correctly in the first place!
On many devices, there are problems with games require a lot of memory, this fixes the problems RAMEXPANDER. And they can play latest games on devices that otherwise would not be able to start such APPs. No more out of memory! No more memory is full!
Languages: English and German
Note: please try before you buy with our app "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo" whether their device ROEHSOFT RAM Expander is compatible, you!
- Free SD card memory as a RAM use (SWAP RAM / SWAP MEMORY)
- Swapfile RAM expansion up to 4.0 GB (file system limit)
- No limit on SWAP partition!
- The usual performance degradation when paged not occur with sd card from class-8
- Widget for PNP swap (swap on / off swap)
- Detailed Memory Information & Analysis
- Autorun
- Swappiness kernel parameter set
- Easy foolproof use
(1 click optimization and automatic calculation)
- Supporting Tung all Android devices (root access and Kernelswap support)
Note: please try before you buy with our app "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo" whether their device ROEHSOFT RAM Expander is compatible, you!
Should it come to problems please contact me before they write such queries to review forum!
not enough memory? equal to no more! More games to play and run more applications simultaneously! All you have to only increase your memory. And up to 4 GB! Larger memory, instead of using task killer or memory optimizer.
ROEHSOFT Ram Expander is more effective than any other tool of its kind Why? The First find out!
ROEHSOFT RAM expander support via a widget at lightning speed and off of extended memory.
This way you can remove the SD card despite swapfile or deploy via USB.
Also, you can important, elementary the swap kernel parameters even control the effectiveness of extended memory increase.
To gain root access you Linkk this helps any further http://shortfuse.org/.
Just affordable entry level phones often have little Ram, help either here or Task Killer programs continue but one uses a swapfile, which is enough memory available. ROEHSOFT Expander turns your device more easily. Many applications, you can start at the same time and do not have to worry about your Ram.
Extends every Android device up to 4 GB of memory in which it creates a swap file on the SDCARD.
Maximum size of the swap file is architecture requires 4GB!
By setting the swappiness value, you can control the behavior of the kernel, the higher the value the more is outsourced.
Please note! For any damage that may result from the use of this software are not responsible!

[Q] Ok, help me people!! (Again)

Ok, this is not a rant thread, just so you know. Nor is it a basic thread asking about the mistakes I made. Kind of.
Some of you would know I kingo rooted my Xperia E last week. Bricked my xperia e last week. Fixed my xperia e last week.
Downloaded Rom Toolbox lite on my xperia e yesterday. Bricked my phone yesterday. Fixed my phone yesterday.
To be safe, I need you to tell me the safest root apps that will help my phone:
Speed up general performance
Increase RAM from 409MB
Make games work much faster like Temple Run 2, Subway Surfers, and even JETPACK JOYRIDE!!!!
Keeps me on top of my app installations and CPU/GPU Control
I also want a fancy boot animation, which is what bricked my phone in the first place I believe (Yesterday, using rom toolbox).
And I want these by:
Give me a CPU Control that is safe and can give my phone max performance.
Give me either an app that creates RAM Swapfiles or a technique you can do when connecting your mobile/sdcard to the pc to get more RAM.
Give me apps that may find blocks of data when needed (like lagfix) and fix entropy levels, as well as smart root ram boosting to make game performance hugely improve.
I want an app like a Root Browser that keeps me on top of my system, my CPU and GPU manually at all times.
Thanks, Guys.

To speed up general performance, the best thing is Greenify. Just hibernate Google Play Services, Facebook, and any other app you don't want running in the background.
I don't think there is a way to increase RAM, but you can probably use Swapper for Root to add swap. Of course, your kernel needs to support swap (I think hsr0's CM10 does).
Seeder, Hyper Cola Mod, 16-128 MB of swap, and Greenify speed up gaming a lot. But how come you can't play Jetpack Joyride? I can play NFS: Most Wanted and CSR Racing easily.
No idea for GPU control, but CM10 gives CPU control in Settings > Performance.
When downloading a boot animation, make sure it's for MDPI. Other than that you should be fine.
Greenify frees RAM, Swapper for Root adds swap. Seeder generates entropy, CM10 gives CPU control.
What do you mean by "on top of my app installations"?

Thanks, I have a few questions and an answer to yours. So:
Are you saying Greenify frees ram of servicing apps in the background? Because I have already got an app that freezes apps. Is that fine?
Hyper Cola Mod? What that Do? Seeder, does it work?
I tried Swapper for Root, my clean master said the same amount of RAM and I didn't see much to any difference. Could you give me the Computer method, creating your own swapfile?
MDPI? Help me.
And give me a completely simple way of flashing CM10/10.2 on m xperia e. I have it rooted, android 4.0.4, kernel .68, with No frills CPU Control (only helping a little) and Rom Toolbow. Give me a link to hsr0's cm10 and how to put it on my phone because I don't think mine works with swap.
NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT APPS ONTO SD CARD, HEAVY ONES!!!
EDIT TO MY GAMING COMMENT: I can play Jetpack Joyride, with tiny lagg at tiny times for a tiny amount of time, but I need help on Temple Run 2 especially. Subway Surfers still has minor lagg but it has 90% improved from what it was before I rooted. I also need the tutorial for volt.fstab thing allowing me to have sd card for my internal memory. And one more question:
If I do the volt.fstab technique, making my sdcard into internal memory allowing me to download NFS Most Wanted, can I still use my SDCARD for ram? Because if I'm right, with the volt.fstab technique you make your sdcard into internal memory. And you cannot make swapfiles in internal memory? Can I still increase RAM?
Thanks. I will most likely Greenify, Seeder, Swap for Root (CM10). I need nformation on how to fit Most Wanted on my Xperia E.
MY INFO:
Sony Xperia E Single Sim
Android 4.0.4 (Kernel 11.A.0.68)
Rooted w/SuperSU (Kingo Android Root)
ROM Toolbox Lite, No Frills CPU Control, Swapper for Root (Not Working).
2GB of Internal Storage with 600MB left (NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT APPS ONTO SD CARD, HEAVY ONES)
4GB SD Card with 3.09 GB available.
Sorry for the really REALLY large comment, lol.

Lag?
Get greenify donation pack and greenify the sony media apps as well,and basically everything except a few [like com.sonyericons.usbbox or something,systemui,lockscreen,launcher,etc] and I don't really think seeder works now[I've tried it on my XE,htc pico and a SII,works on none]
So,straight away flash pure performances or hyper cola package[never tried hyper cola package actually] and if possibe run v6 supercharger script.
And done.

@XPeRIAeUSeR
Whatever happens, DO NOT CHANGE THE vold.fstab! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HARD-BRICK (such that even Sony can't fix) THEIR PHONES WITH THIS! (clears throat) Now, with that out of the way...
This is the CM10 I use: ROM by jjm34, kernel by hsr0, guide by UltraGamerHD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48837634#post48837634
Yes, Greenify frees RAM. It does so by "hibernating" apps and putting them out of the memory. When the apps are launched again, they are put back in the memory automatically, so you can continue using them. But don't use Greenify with IM apps (like WhatsApp), alarm apps, etc, as they need to run in background.
Hyper Cola Mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404653) does stuff I really don't understand to speed up gaming a lot. However, you need to reboot after the gaming session, otherwise the battery will drain very quickly.
Swapper doesn't change the amount of RAM you have, but it adds swap, where apps can reside while they are not being used. Also, swap will not work on stock (ICS or JB doesn't matter), it needs CM10. Well, it only needs the CM10 kernel, but the kernel needs the rest of CM10, so you need to put the whole CM10 or your phone won't boot.
To put heavy games on my external SD, I use FolderMount - it mounts certain folders of your choice from the internal card to the external card, so the phone thinks the stuff is on the internal card, but in reality it's on the external card. Thanks to MatsPunt for telling me about it.
The stuff I mentioned (CM10 included) will help, but not much if you're already using ICS.
And once again, to remind you: Whatever happens, DO NOT CHANGE THE vold.fstab! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HARD-BRICK (such that even Sony can't fix) THEIR PHONES WITH THIS! Use FolderMount instead.

Your asking for the impossible
If you want a fast phone then buy one -_-, please do not expect much from our devices

I'm not really, I know you can max the CPU capabilities, I know ram can be increased and the people's comments above you.can improve so much of so little.
HELP NEEDED
Tried to get into google play store, it didn't let me. Uninstalled it and play services, tried reinstalling it and now says, application not installed. I need help, because of course I need the google play store.

@Thanatos Um... not really. I don't really feel any difference in everyday usage (making phone calls, playing games, stuff) between a Samsung Galaxy Grand and my E. In fact, due to the smaller size, the E feels better to hold.
@XPeRIAeUSeR Try doing a clean wipe, reinstalling the ROM.

Horribly, I flashed .47 kernel, .68 kernel twice and .13 kernel. All this made me do a factory reset; now it's fine.

FolderMount works this way: when Android looks for files in a folder, say, /sdcard/Music, FolderMount redirects Android to a different folder, say, /external_sd/Music. So you can store your stuff on /external_sd, but Android thinks the files are in /sdcard.

Thanks, but your missing ky point. What source and destinations files do I put into the app as well as the name that will allow me to get most wanted...?

Oh... you meant it that way. The source directory is
Code:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na
The destination directory (replace external_sd with ext_card if you're using ICS)
Code:
/external_sd/Android/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na
The name can be whatever you want. After this, install the game from the Play Store, and it'll get installed on the external SD card.

@NSDCars5, No offense who said Galaxy Grand is considered a powerful phone.

@Thanatos Good point.

Its not that GRAND :thumbdown:

How to increase ram in low budget phone who have a great processor or android

Hi, Micromax and some other
companies like Karbonn, Lava
devices are good and cheap but the
ram is quite low on some of the
android devices so we cant play
amazing games like- The Amazing
Spider-Man, Grand Theft Auto (GTA):
Vice City/3, Need For Speed (NFS):
Most Wanted/Hot pursuit/Shift,
Temple Run: 1, 2, Brave, Oz, Angry
Birds Space, Nova, Asphalt 6/7,
Gangstar: 2/Rio, Fifa 13, PES 12, Fx
Guru, Where's my Water/Perry,
Subway Surfers, Cut The Rope etc.
But The app named "ROEHDOFT
RAM-EXPANDER -ROOT" has made it
possible. This is developed by
ROEHSOFT. This makes a file called
swap file in SDcard which is virtual
ram, it will make heavy games run
flawlessly in your micromax android
devices. This can be used all
phones having SWAP support in
their kernel. Swapping is a
technology which makes virtual RAM
in SD card and takes RAM utilization
from there only. Swap is also used
in iPhone but you can use in
Android too! no need for script for
swappiness. This RAMEXPANDER
has a new technology- min-free KB
which makes phone not too hot
while more demand of RAM. Think
just Micro SD Card can be RAM of
your android devices which
supports SWAP technology like-
Micromax A57, Micromax
A87, Samsung Galaxy Y etc etc, so
lets see, how to make SWAP
partition on Any Android device-
Features of RAMEXPANDER
- Free SD card memory as a RAM
use (SWAP RAM / SWAP MEMORY)
- Swapfile RAM expansion up to 4.0
GB
- The usual performance
degradation when paged not occur
with sd card from class6
- Widget for PNP swap (swap on /
off swap)
- Detailed Memory Information &
Analysis
- Autorun
- Swappiness kernel parameter set
- Easy foolproof use
(1 click optimization and automatic
calculation)
- Supporting Tune all Android
devices (root access and Kernel
swap support)
How to use it
Before you buy this application,
check that if your android device is
compatible or not.
you can try this app to verify if your
kernel support swap or not. If it
works then follow next guide-
If it works then do this-
1 Buy this apk by clicking here (you
can google for free version, but
coding is really very hard, so buy it
to support developer).
2 see this guide for swapping your
android device-
3 You will see which language you
want when you will open the
application for first time, now select
your language!
4 Select "Optimal" (it will itself see
how much RAM is required and will
create SWAP file according to it).
Then click "Swap Activ" to make
SWAP file and to enable it.
5 you will see something like this
(but in english), you might see RAM
of different numbers because your
device much needs less or too
much!
NOTE: do not open any application
or close this app, SWAPPING will be
cancel and you have to do all this
again!
6 I know you are not that dumb so
please follow onscreen instructions,
they are easy like a hell.
7 When it will complete you will see
this, click on they grey box to
complete the process and activate
SWAP in your Android device.

Is it a commercial?? As far as known to me YOUR KERNEL MUST SUPPORT IT Just today i tried to find some Kernel for a nother XDA user with VIDEOCON A24 and his kernel just doesn't support swap. I just tell you cause he has a phone of this kind Dualcore 1,2GHz but just 256MB Ram. What is that??? I wondered just this seems nearly to be the most expensive app in playstore,,,
Just had a look an it, can you tell me what makes this app that special? As far as i can see and set in this App i won't provide more feautes as an average custom kernel, so why will just THIS app bost my performance that much???

Increasing RAM on an Android Device

Respected Experts and Moderators,
Apologies if I posted my question in a wrong forum.
I have a mobile running Android 4.2.1 and I GB RAM. I landed into a typical problem of 'Space Running Out'. My App Manager shows that I have roughly 50 MB free memory.
I tried various methods like Cache Cleaner, ES File Explorer (to clean log files etc). However, the problem would return back. Than I learned about applications like Roehsoft's RAM Expander that can create a swap file to increase the RAM. My phone is compatible with the app as the result of test done their 'MemoryInfo-SwapCheck' app shows. Since, this is a paid app, I wondering how does it hooks into the Android System so that the:
# Android is aware of the swap file
# Android is able to use the swap file as an extension of its RAM
# Any effect on performance since I/O from internal RAM would much much faster than from a memory card
Thanks.
PS: I am a software engineer but my field of expertise is web applications.

The warning you're getting is not related to low RAM but rather low on internal memory (internal sd card) because Android will never warn you about low ram ( it has a low memory killer that kills running apps in background when low on RAM).
So what you should be doing instead is increasing internal memory, follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844 , if you don't want to use a pc for partitioning your sd card use this app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted
If you insist on increasing your Ram with swap files take look at this guide http://www.google.dz/url?q=http://f...ggNMAA&usg=AFQjCNHUQFy9IB9qBypg2moBrjPZ2FYVjw
Good luck
Don't just say Thanks, press the ? button.

Thanks @a. felon. This solution has helped. Going through various blogs gave me the impression that RAM Expander solution and link2sd card solution are alternatives to resolve the same problem.
