Root new koumamod.apk

Why do I have a swapfile0 that is 100 MB right on my /sdcard ? - that is my main partition on the card, the fat32 one, I thought I had only 1 swap that was 32MB .....
 
yeah but I want to understand where it came from and why it is there, why its 100 MB and how did it get there - so I am more educated about it. - whats it for and is it there for a reason or not being used at all?

i did not put it there myself.

How many times did you try to set up swap with koumamod (including previous flashes) did any of those attempts include making swap on sdcard? if so it would remain there even after a flash.

I did everything once, fresh install and setup. I have no idea how it got there.

What I'm saying is reflashing the ROM will not remove any files that you made/placed on your fat partition of your sdcard. Cwm doesn't touch that partition. So if it's there, it's probably because you created it there with a previous install. (sry if last post was confusing)

someone using your phone did this:

1) they long-pressed one of the EditText fields for swap path in Koumamod.apk
2) they scrolled down and pressed on the sdcard folder.
3) they pressed on <Current Folder>
4) they pressed "OK"
5) they pressed "OK" again <-100MB swap file was created at this point
6) they exited Koumamod.apk without saving changes

I'm not saying it was you, but if noone else has used your phone, you know who to blame
 
Oviously it was me. I have no idea how I did it, must have did it somewhere in the mass of confusion over my last few posts trying to get the swap setup. I know it wasnt left over because I always start fresh and wipe all the partitions when I do. But it don't matter.
-thanks.
