Modding Sysctl and Build.prop for low power/memory phones?

[anathematized1]

Every time I see threads about this, none of their suggestions help.

See, nobody has come up with them for my phone (Huawei H866c) and my phone is rooted.

The processor is 800mhz and the system hardly has any RAM naturally. So, how can I determine what settings will work for my weak phone?

Example, I have a game and after I get so far far it just crashes out. Sometimes the browser does this too on big sites. My guess is that it is an oom issue in running out of memory. Yet any settings I try that are sugggested just cause this to happen faster...

Internal memory: 256MB RAM, 120MB ROM

So yeah....

what recovery do you have? i do not have your phone so i can only help much. i have a htc evo 4g that has the same issue. however, the devs have found a way to go around this. it is called a2sd and this is not to be confused with apps2sd.

apps2sd only is something that android does. it moves part of the app to the sd card and can free up some space. but not all of the app is moved. just parts of it.


a2sd is something different. it moves the app entirely to the sd card. it only leaves a symbolic link that tells the phone where to find the app on the card.

now i'm not sure with your device if it has this kind of support.

i just checked briefly and it seems that dev support for your phone is almost non existent so i doubt if you can get it to work.

one thing you will need is a recovery and also you need to have the recovery partition your sd card to ext3.

now here is some info about dark tremors which is the script that does all this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940

now keep in mind this is from a different phone then yours and have been tested on a few devices and your phone is not one of them.....so use this info at your own risk.

to be honest in the future you might want to look into getting a phone with more memory when you upgrade.....i did....lol

Before this is suggested too much, I have no money and this is not a contract phone, upgrading is NOT an option.

I am pretty sure the a2sd thing is for ICS, I have Gingerbread and there is no upgrade for my phone. I have the stock android 2.3.6 rooted, there is no custom rom or recovery for my device.

The issue isn't a lack of storage memory, it is a lack of working memory. That is why I asked about build.prop and sysctl mods for weaker phones. I need tweaks for performance for this, not battery saving or having more storage.

My phone doesn't support partitions either, nor is there a mod to flash to it with any such options.

actually as far as android goes, this idea about moving apps to the sd card was first introduced in froyo.

i just doubt that your phone is support for a2sd as i see no development for your phone.

i understand your situation as far as money goes. but really this phone is not that popular with the devs so i doubt that there is anything that you can do. now you can learn linux and maybe code your phone to move apps or some how configure memory differently then you are good to go.

again i wish i could be of more help. hopefully somebody else might chime in and help but i do not think that there is a way to increase your storage.
