ram expander bug - General Questions and Answers

hi frds,
i am having a problem with my phone samsung gts 8500 (wave 1) badadroid omni installed.
i had installed ram expander in my phone and swaped it with 2gb sd card, it went sucessfully.
after some days i delete the swap file from my sd card , but when i checked the swap memory through terminal emulator it was not zero.
i wanna know the solution to make it zero. and swap again with 16 gb sd card plz help
thanks in advance.

Iam not a expert, but if you did not use the app that created the swap file to remove it. It would probably make another.Also not all swap files are a fixed size. You might sit it to 2 gig but that might just be the max size it can grow too. Hope that helps

clear data and catch of that app and make a new one in 16 gb external card

Any help please..thanks in advance..
dont blame on ur phone..d memory is very low man!!!!
i also have this problem..after upgrading my sd card to 16 gb my problem got solved....
If you are the kind that prefers empty internal memory, then use other scripts/mods...like amarullz script or s2e...
(Don't ask for link/tuto, search around, you'll find it)

move app data cache to sdcard do not leave a single thing
create a partition of around 2 gb

What does it show when you do settings/storage ? That one is accurate for me.

Here are the complete details which shows about the memory :
In Task Manager it is showing : System Storage -> 10.24GB/11.87GB
From Settings > Storage :
Total Space : 11.77GB
Apps : 1.39GB
Pictures, videos : 213MB
Audio : 0.91 GB
Downloads : 20.01MB
Miss : 1.52 GB
Available : 1.52 GB
From settings > Application Manager :
Device memory : 10GB Used
1.7GB free
cache...
Not sure if you have already tried this... Use a good cache cleaner and check if something is taking up space in cache
Also are you using link2SD ? If yes let us know..
Connect the Tab to computer and check how much free space it shows in explorer...if it too shows 10GB used then definitely somewhere a big file is taking up space...
Last thing that comes to my mind is , install " SD Maid " and there is a option to list Top 50 Biggest size file...please check if that helps
any workaround?

You know guys, I already found the answer to this and posted it for all to find. I cannot take credit for this, another fellow got irritated that his kid could not install games anymore, so he figured it out. The answer is not all that bad and is easy, and quick.
Use ClockworkMod ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Use the menu to format your internal SDCard. Reboot. You will loose all of your apps and have to start over, but your Google account will recover and put back everything in fairly short order. Mine completely restored itself in about ½ an hour. Sweet!
Losing all storage on the internal card is a very, very frustrating thing and it drove me nuts for longer than it should have. My girl was SO upset that I would lose all of her game progress that I could not update for a while until I used Titanium Backup to backup all the stuff on the tablet. Titanium Backup restored all of her game data so that she would not have to play Jewels Star from the beginning again, she already cleared all 3 major hard board and gained a bonus board of 100 more levels. Lose that and man I would be dead meat. Titanium put it all back, thank God. Another bad thing is the apps would not even update anymore, no room. Oh, baby is here now, time for bed.
Please, click the Thanks button if this post helps you! Night night everyone.
One question - is formatting internal SD safe? Won't it delete system or something? I don't need to flash rom or anything else after that?

'Internal SD' is a separate partition of the internal memory away from 'system' partition. So no worries that you will screw anything up by formatting internal SD.

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^^

Swap on SD card is harmfull like roehsoft RAM expander app.
And its mentioned on play store clearly that swap on SD will degrade the life of SD card.
So instead of making swap on SD u should make swap by turbo boost concept of xda senior member harbir and delta-roh so head over to my thread revised 1gb ram swap in my signature. U will feel fly
 @kundan.lohar don't worry
Some devices comes with turbo boost concept from company side
E.g. htc one v ....dont worry

i have created swap using your zip as you can see in my signature ya offcourse i am feeling fly but i think this swap is not created On external SDcard it is on internal sdcard.
if it is harmful than my A110 will be dead if internal SDcard will currupt.becoz we can't change it like external.
i want some knowledge of turbo boost concept so please give me some details (links) like how it works.

I have given u already that link somewhere now search it on xda
I am also using this don't worry
i am on 2.7 BB kernel and want to flash you script, you provided 3 links for different files, plz tell me which one i need to flash. Renamed name confuses me. thanks.
EDIT: i flashed with 3rd link and after restart everything laggy as hell but soon it all settle.
In terminal it show i have only 255 swap?
Apps for Swap never help much. I almost corrupted mine sd card too.
Instead of apps, flash the 1gb Ram mod or PMB v6 nitro x.
And I think your sd card is still in warranty since it has only been 2 years since the phone came out and Class 10 cards have around 5 year warranty. Get it replaced asap. Just don't baffle too much like how it happened. Just say that it stopped working. You'll get it replaced.
And next time flash mods instead of using apps.

Infernal Memory Problem!

I am using Micromax A77. I had got 1.27 GB internal memory for app and 672 MB as phone memory. I have already swapped my phone memory to extSD Card and moved all the movable apps to extSD ( phone memory) but still my internal memory is full now.
I saw mainly Google Apps and 2-3 apps are taking all the internal memory and sadly I can't move them to phone memory. Like Xposed Installer is taking approx 250 MB and I have cppdroid which takes 180 MB and I don't know where the other memory went.
I have 50 Mb of internal memory left and I badly need some more. Please guyz help me.
