Root new koumamod.apk

ok yes if partitoned right, reflash ctmod and it defaults to ssm. you should see 150 mb free or so. if not then something is wrong, usually is the partitions. you need that right first before worrying about swap.

and just asking???? did you convert the swap that was partitioned to an ext 4???? not being a pest about partitioning but just asking??

yes i did, but for SSM to work properly i NEED to do the adb shell method???


Wait, tell me what you do to convert and I will tell you if i did. Is it flashing kouma's zip?
 
I am running windows xp and i think it does not recognize the adb run script.

I am following the directions to the "T" but that's a no go. Sounds to me like i am only able to extend my internal memory.

No biggie you were helpful thanks, again bro.

you can use cwm to make partitions but will only be so big, make the one ext4 as big as lets you and then swap as big and rest to fat and then flash this View attachment 32670 to make swap to ext4 . the adb should work on xp and that will let you make partitions bigger.that will let you run the ssm the right way and partition sizes might be good for you, mine are 2 g and they are like 38% full with a lot of data stuff and now down to like 80 or90 apps

im running 4gb card and the options are up to 4,096

i think 512 or 1,024...

and swap 256? then flash and i should be good huh?

yes and let me know how goes, then try rebooting after flash and then look at internal.

yeah but without the adb schpeal will it work?


NOPE i have 117mb after boot, i think i'm just going to suffer for now since my computer doesn't want to give me right click jobs

before you said you had 15mb free, was that with apps and now 117 without???????

only asking because have never done it with small partitions???? might be right. how do you load yor apps??? and when load apps you will see a drop in mem but not much..

no no no, I said i had 15mb after I swapped 100mb in /data and swapped 100mb in data/app, if i could figure out how to swap free space into those areas i would have it made! Also when I swapped system/app 100mb and data/app 100mb the phone would not boot. I would have to hold power button for a hard reset then the settings in Kouma apk would undo themselves.

I want to be a swappy prevailor!
 
117Mb is the free space you have after a CTmod flash.

Okay this time I swapped dalvik cache manually and i booted fine, now i'm trying to check data and see if it boots....

well sorry i don't know much about the swap. and like i said i'm on ssm and have 80-90 apps that all use alot of data and i have 97 free. had 154 free when started and when use stuff it accumulates data to run and stores settings and stuff and thats why down to 97 but is still alot and running fast too without swap. so maybe someone with swap info can help. good luck!!!! also just to let you know the swap will not give more internal, it just puts stuff in swap to give more room to operate(i believe).
 
oh ok i gotcha no prob i have 812mb internal now and i swapped dalvik cache manually but Kouma has it set to erase the settings upon boot if SSM is not checked, (i'm assuming)

IT WORKED@!!!

how do i test if dalvik cache is truely swapped?
Click to expand...
not really sure, but don't think the delvik cache gets swapped, i could be wrong though. in terminal you can check all that mem stuff, thats how i know.

In that case we need to figure out what is safe to swap and actually benefits for enhancement. Ya know?

yes for sure. but still if i get what it does is move running services over to swap so there is more room in the ram to do more things(could be wrong). mine runs great and fast at surfing web and doing anything that i never played with the swap, like i said.

Are you using CTmod's stock launcher? xperia i believe?

I use lightning its weird because it uses 3 apps but they are all under 1mb and is like one giant desktop. Its spliffy

What it does is put app on mmcblk0p3 and dalvik on mmcblk0p2

Regular ssm is opposite

That was my feature request cuz then my data apps would remain when wiping and dalvik could be wiped by formatting sd-ext in cwm. I recommend doing regular. He probably should have said switch not swap
It got nothing to do with swap

And get partitions info lite from market. Easiest way to check if u set up right and u can post screen shot if u need help
 
I was asking for help a little while back and was finnaly able to return to it again. After I set everything up and installed a few apps I ran the commands in terminal emulator to check my setup.

I have a 16GB SDCard, ran SSM (11836MB-fat32/2048MB-ext2/2048MB-swap)
Did the whole setup thing as I posted here-->http://androidforums.com/4449600-post947.html
-and only used a 1 swap file setup

Is this the way it should be below?:

Ssm-
--data/app √
--data/dalvik √
Swap file
--data/swap √
as long as you intended to use one partition on card for apps & the other for dalvik cache and put swap on /data (internal memory)... Then yes your doing it right
 
Thanks, but, .... to tell you the truth I don't know what I intended to do. Does swap work better on internal or an external partition? (class 4 sd) (I actually thought my swap was on external)

And, in your opinion, what is the best setup method to use if you plan on installing around 100 apps and want the phone to be fast and responsive and just all around good?

It seems to be ok the way it is now, some lagging here and there, but if I turn off startup things after boot in the autostart app, it makes a huge difference.

I know everyone has a different opinion about it, but what is the best setup?

/dev/stl13 163768 74388 89380 45% /data
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 1968684 87524 1881160 4% /data/app
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 1967876 103652 1864224 5% /data/dalvik-cache

These are the ones that matter.

You have /data
-internal memory
-all your settings, texts, and random user data goes here

Ssm takes the folder /data/app and links it to the sdext. So when you open /data/app you are viewing the partition on the sdcard mounted to the /data/app folder.
Same for /data/dalvik.

So if you put the swap file anywhere in the data partition other than /data/app or /data/dalvik-cache, then it is on the internal memory. Yours is /data/swap/swapfile. You could make it data/app/swap/swapfile or data/dalvik-cache/swap/swapfile. But if it works as is, i see no problem leaving it there. with a class 4, it's not a terrible idea. Might be worse off, thought iirc kouma had a cheap slow card and his works fine with swap on the card, so..... Idk. But that's the great thing about koumamod... You set up your Android to how you like, if it fails, change it :)
Rinse and repeat as needed.
