Root Extra memory -using ramexpander or swapper 2 using internal memory

I HAVE SWAPPER 2 AND RAMEXPANDER BUT I CANT SET SWAP FILE LOCATION TO /DATA OR /CACHE I HAVE 75 MB FREE INTERNAL MEMORY, 2 SOFTWARE'S USING SD CARD SPACE , BUT I WANT SPEED INTERNAL MEMORY PLEASE GUIDE ANY ONE THANKS :confused::confused:
 
Same here i have swapper for root and swapper 2 installed swap file created sucessfully still alot of games not working and some applications crashing I have tried a script as well but on this phone says can't validate the same!!!
 
i tried swapper2.. a swapfile was created, but i doubt its not being used..does the stock kernel support swap ?.

it works , but not much speed due to sd card speed ,i am using class 10 transcent card , try romtoolbox pro go to terminal emulator and type free it shows detail about swap. Already 50 mb allocated .
I want internal memory free space to swap . /data /cache partition space .. Any idea

rameshprathap i was able to disable that 50 mb swap in memory(called zram) ,i thought we can get that 50 mb back to main ram if i disabled it right from boot sequence

after a long try i was able to disable that 50mb swap but no increase in the main ram ,now i need help from guys here

can we get that 50mb swap (zram)(if disabled) into main ram? if yes then how??????

This is a quick guide for all of you who want flash the stock ROM i.e., Bring the phone back to stock condition.
 
@rameshpratap : typing "free" on command prompt shows the swap usage ..but not sure any significant improvement in performance :)..
by the way i could get asphalt 5 HD work almost smoothly(version 6 did not wrk)..also have chainfire3d installed..

Can you please tell me how can disable that 50mb swap in internal memory..because as i believe it will reduce the life of the internal nand memory...because i have read somwhere that nand memory has only 10,000 read write cycles

if u want then i will upload the modi-boot.img which disables the swap partition on boot

OK please upload it...btw i have just read that this 50mb is actually not swap it is a zram which is a part of a ram memory but kinda compressed but still reacts faster than swap....but the problem is that alll of that zram is not used some portion of ram is wasted everytime...so if this mod will get this 50 mb off the ram and make it free it would be a delight.

yes this is a swap file but its a part of the ram called zram which is used as swap
i was able to disable the zram but the internal memory remain the same ,i want to know that this 51mb zram can be included in to main ram???????

if yes then need some help

and for the zram to use most of the portion u need to type this in terminal emulator
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
now checkout
