hello
I am not really satisfied with RAM capacity my GT P3110 has, and I'd like to expand it. I am currently running latest Cyanogenmod (12.1) and I tried using link2sd and swapper apps to get RAM from my SD card, but every time I tried that, it said that my kernel does not support that function. I am wondering, which kernel do I have to use? and is it possible to swap SD card memory for RAM memory with stock rom/android or does it have to be one of the custom builds?
thanks in advance

If ur are using stock rom with stok kernel, my best opinion is go with link2sd..
U need to create a second partition in ur memory. Partition should of following format fat32(only Stock kernel), all ext.. file system type.
Then install the link2sd application then the application itself guide u...

I suggest you a custom rom with m2sd script. It will convert your sd partition to internal memory virtually.
power the droid
Use Link2d ,,,best solution availabe..scripts just make phone slow and app crashed..
Not all scripts does lag or fc... m2sd handles even slow memory cards... for me no lag or no fc. I'm using 16 GB class 4(slow sd) with 1 GB partition. I filled upto 750 MB but still it doesn't show any difference in performance. It's my personal experience... it's not a big deal to try all the options,so Instead of thinking about others best, y don't you find your best?

I am using Samsung Galaxy Fit 2.3.6 Gingerbread, when am installing new apps am getting message as internal memory full.
Phone is even getting hanged for a long time.
I have both internal memory and RAM problem. Please help me how to move all my internal apps to SD card.
Thanks,
Nikhil
U can't move system default apps to sdcard...unlike user apps.
1. Root ur phone.
2. Use link2sd to move user apps to sdcard(if u r on stock rom & don't want to mess up ur phone).
That will free up some memory.
& for more, u can enter the world of custom roms..

In system/etc not init.d.
I created an EXT3 partition on my SD card and used the Link2SD. Until now I had no problems with space.

Apps2SD. create a SD-EXT and use apps2SD and viola. It might be slow with lower class of the SD card. IF class 10 then it will be the best

as a friend i am suggesting you something that please do not do swapping cos it damages your sd card
my 16gb class 10 sandisk sd card died in this swapping
swapping increases read write cycles of your sd card and this damages sd card
so please dont do it cos 1gb ram of tab 2 is enough

M not talking about ram brother, I want to swap bcaz wanna play games, the default storage is only 3.something g.b, and u may know the size of an android hd game is about 1.5-2.5 g.b. Updated my tab 2(p3110) to 4.2.2 and no swap is working on this rom, or is there any way that game can read it's data/obb from extsdcard?

try a custom kernel
Hey, i'm new to these forums and new to android tinkering indeed.
My phone is Xperia j and i was using .31 jb locked bl. My goal is to get .31 rooted and a ram file swap. I downgraded to 7.5. and rooted. After that i copied the .31 rooted zip to my sd card and my internal storage( sd card is class 10 8gb) and i installed CWM (exact version is cwm-sr13gx v6.0.2.7 as shown on my phone). After i run cwm from my phone and i try to "choose zip from card' i just get "no files found".
What am i doing wrong?
Try going to "mounts & storage" and manualy mount sdcard then choose zip from sdcard

I did try that but it the result was the same. I read your posts regarding this issue on a different thread. Well the ram usage is lower now that i am on 7.5 than .31 and i am rooted so i got that going for me. I will test it out more myself, but is 7.5 actually better( performance wise) than .31? I don't see any big ui improvments on .31. Thing is if i can't get CWM to work properly i won't be able to to a ram swap, or is there another way to do it?
Loads of question marks. :silly:
I don't see why CWM won't read your sdcard that normaly only happens if the sd is lower than a class 4. try and reinstall CWM. for better performance i would recommend AVD rom it is the fastest stock based custom rom. when you say you want to swap ram what exactly do you mean.

I want to create a extension on my sd card for my ram ( a swap file i understud it was called) like virtual memory on windows. I was going to install than rom later on( starting out on simpler things), but yeah i got stuck on the CWM issue.
Thats not swapping ram its swapping dalvik cache and does not really make much difference and you need a kernel that supports swap which stock kernels don't bro. have you tried another sd in your phone and check that it is formatted as fat32.

Oh snap!
Well that was a wasted friday night for me. If i can't do the ram extension thing then there's no point in keeping 7.5 root and i'll just go back to stock .31. Um, can i install games directly on my sd card w/o root?

Yes its fat32, i will try to install the AVD rom you made from another sd card, it sounds really good.
you can move apps to your internal storage with native apps2sd but not all apps/games support it. if you want to root jb .31 then see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366577

I have installed cyanogenmod 11 on my galaxy mini GT-s5570. When I type free in terminal it already shows a swap of 47mb on device.
in terminal windows show initially
swap: 49148(total) 44244(used) 4904(free)
How can I expand it ? because 47mb swap file is very low amount.I have 8gb class 4 micro sd card.
Swap file created by swapper for root can't work.
Thanks in advance

Which version of CM11 do you use? Did you manually set swap or do you mean preconfigured? You can change the value with Performance Controls.
BUT keep in mind that your phone has 384MB of physical ram (Usable value will be even slower - i suppose ~ 300MB) --> swap ram is very slow, especially if you got a class 4 sd card.I have no clue about the used kernel, but zRam must be supported by the kernel. If the kernel does you can get a class10+ sd card and manually set a swap partitions. Any values >100MB will probably slow down your device instead of speding it up

I have downloaded and installed ROM from following link
http://d-h.st/XeT
kernel version is [email protected]#1
and the swap ram amount is preconfigured.
Previously I installed cm10.1 RC-5 stable dev ROM. On that I used swappe for root and using this I had created swap file of 820mb on class 4 8 gb sd card and it worked fine.

I'll install the app just for fun on a low ram device to check the performance. May be I'm kinda dumb and it runs great^^
--> FAILED lol i can't even select internal or external sd card. As the internal free space is too small i can't even try it. Awesome app
