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
see this link
Updated v2 - Swap in internal memory - MADTeam Forum
in that swap is created in /data
dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=65536
if we change the path we can create swap anywhere ryt(theoretically atleast) ?..
anythng special with /cache ?.

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.
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
this above code will set the swappiness to 100 , my query was to disabling this swap
@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..
same here created swap using swapper2. now games like nfs shift,angry birds,temple run etc ..plys juz fine..occasional freeze but not much of a problem for me.
