[Completed] Difference between using swap & link2sd - XDA Assist

i am confused. is there any difference between using link2sd & swap or no. please help
Sent from my Symphony W68 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Link2SD moves Apps from Internal storage partition to the external SD Card thereby increase storage space available on internal system partition. Please review [APP][1.6+] Link2SD
Swapper app increases available Ram for the application. Please review [GUIDE] Increase RAM using Swap File and Swap Partition for more details.

I looked in arm11boot and saw that 330Mb are avaliable to system.
And our device have 384Mb physical ram so may be we need some test to find out how much Ram can we have
so wht shuld we do now??

if we have a ext4 FS then we can swap some amount of sd card as a part of ram,usually for our fit the recommended figures are anything about 62.
So in this way we can increase our ram and make our fit smoothly work.
Presently,I use creed's romv1.7.2 in which i have partitioned 1GB of sd card for Dalvik cache and many other sys files and all installed apps and also devoted a swap value of 128 MB to the RAM.
Interesting but we don't have any advanced Dev who can make it work

how did u added 128 mb of swap value to it.
actually wht do u mean by swap value and wht does it do really???

swap is likely pagefile.sys in windows. It's vitual memory on SDcard. But its speed is depend on SDcard Read write speed, compare with real Ram it is slower.

oh im not dev so i dont know . Maybe after few months i can do this .
But that guy at original topic show the way:
Code:
If I try to unlock 3mb or more, the phone will not boot.
So guys, sorry to disappoint, but it seems that unlocking the
RAM is not possible - the upper memory is used. It may be a
simple problem in which some device is allocating resources in
the 216mb block, and editing board-europa.c can solve it. I
don't really feel like messing with this too much, though.
If someone wants to try to recompile the kernel themselves:
File: [COLOR="Red"]arch/arm/kernel/setup.c; line 436[/COLOR].
Original:
Code: [Select]
size = memparse(*p, p);
+1mb:
Code: [Select]
size = ([COLOR="red"]0x100000[/COLOR] + memparse(*p, p));
etc.

[Q] Urgent help needed !!!

Hello friends ...
I love this mobile ... http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a90s-review.html
And it have sufficient hardware capabilities to run high end games ...
I want to buy this but only problem is the memory...
It have only 1GB internal storage for installation, while HD games are having size more than 1GB ...
Is there any way to install 2GB games on it ...
I don't want to root ... but if there are no options left then I will do rooting ...
Can I hope that after rooting ... I can install games directly on SD card ??? without any issue ???
You can install them on ur external card with apps like link2SD, Rom Toolbox. You will have to root it
Edit - actually, if im not mistaken, you can install the games directly to your external sd without root

Thanks for reply... my dear friend ... but I want to know that is this 100 % possible to install big games (greater than 1GB)directly on external SD card after rooting ???
(quote from website: "internal storage for app is around 1GB free. Apart from that there is another storage of 1.9GB which remains untouched and you don’t have an option to save new apps on the internal storage by default.")
I can't understand it because I am new to android and having no knowledge of it ...
Can you explain this quote ???
I see no reason why it wouldnt be able to do that.
That quote says in other words, the phone has 3 gigs internal, its partitioned, the 1 gig is for "system" and the other 2 gigs are for you to use as storage, or atleast thats how it works with my galaxy pocket.
I was told the game storage works like this, the game data can be stored in the external memory and the games "launcher" will be stored in the 1 gig partition of the internal memory. The launchers are usually 10 - 25 mb.
I really hope you understand this:thumbup:

Hi... thanks ,but still confuse;
Can I confirm that after rooting I will install games/apps directly to SD card ???
Yes.
There is a very good chance that u can install games directly to external sd without rooting also.

I beleive you are talking about Phone Memory. To free up space, you need to re-partition and increase the size of your phone memory. The default is some 500mb, but you can repartition it and change it to 2.5gb and make the internal SD card to 50mb. And then swap the internal sdcard with External sd card.
Refer to this page.
Hi everyone , here is the way to increase internal memory(swap it with SD CARD)
1 . Download root browser from play store
2. Browse to /system/etc/vold.fstab
3. Vold.fstab is the file to be replaced by this vold.fstab- http://db.tt/WLjGyBKK
4.reboot and check your storage in settings>storage

Can't move viber to sd card

Recently I installed viber but it can't moved to sd card. The 'move to sd card feature' wasn't there. I know viber can be moved to sd card so please help
Note: Installed latest version of viber
Config of android : mtk6582 android 4.4.2
Sent using XDA Free mobile app
Not all apps are installed to SD card. BBM for one. guess viber is another. If you're trying to avoid lagging then you should read this piece on How to easily make an Android phone run faster or stop lagging as it explains other techniques you could apply
Laging is not the problem the problem is low internal memory
