Root Too late for MIUI Gingerbread?

It SHOULD work on any (prevail) kernel/rom that has swap enabled as long as /data is on sdext and has init.d support (it mounts stl13 to a directory it creates in /system)

This will use/create stl13(internal data partition) or a file on sdcard as swap
And give you options to create different sized swap files
Just install terminal emulator
And use these commands

Ok....I'm dumb...lol. I spent 5 minutes typing those commands into terminal..it would return not found...So I manually created a file with root explorer, and tried the commands again...still returning not found. I kept re-reading the instructions, and couldnt figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I noticed the link to the zip at the very beginning of your post.
:oFace/Palm.

Lol... I needed to see:
Step 1 download and install zip povided in link above.
I must have re-read that post 30 times before I payed any attention to the bright blue letters of the link...sigh...I fail.

Updated post
Edit- did you get it going tho?
 
Yes sir....test driving now. :)
extswap96
swp20
bootswapfile20

(should there be a new/different thread for this).

Lol, this thread is kinda informal as is, and it's where i got the zip that i started with... But if b-love would prefer a new thread, i would more than happy to oblige :)

Btw- same setup I'm running... :)
Started with 60, went to 40, and settled at 20 (swp/bootswapfile). Seems very smooth to me with these settings, ymmv
 
Bootswapfile seems to be causing system force closes. Am I missing something? Should I have bootswap set with swp?

What is fc-ing? i had a couple other people test it and nobody reported any fc... What swappiness are you using right now?
Also bootswapfile does swpXX

Try
swapfile-off
extswap96
bootswapfile20
 
I got this
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ su
# extswap96
mkdir: can't create directory '/system/data-ext/swap': File exists
swapoff: can't stat '/sdcard/swap/swp*': No such file or directory
swapoff: /system/data-ext/swap/swp96mb: Invalid argument
 
I got this
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ su
# extswap96
mkdir: can't create directory '/system/data-ext/swap': File exists (file is present)
swapoff: can't stat '/sdcard/swap/swp*': No such file or directory(you chose data-ext mode... No file in sdcard to stat)
swapoff: /system/data-ext/swap/swp96mb: Invalid argument[ (swap was not on to be turned off)/QUOTE]

That's normal... It is trying to disable the files that don't exist yet... Do

Swp20
Free


And see what you get
(maybe i SHOULD make a new thread... Lol)

Literally Android.system force closed.

Set it for swapfile128
Bootswapfile60

When I rebooted fc pops up. Took a little bit before it settled down

I will try to replicate this tonight
 
Ok, is there something i am doing wrong or is it just a aosp thing... I can SEND all the Bluetooth files i want... But since the early cm7 builds i have not been able to RECEIVE any file via Bluetooth on ANY prevail i put an cm7 based/flavored ROM on. (idk about cm9 have not had time to try since riflez found a way to get it working)

I can PAIR to anything, and my Bluetooth headset works fine (including music controls etc) but when the file is sent, the sender gets a connection error...
Am i just missing something, or it that just the way things are?

Well i have swap working. Used swapper 2 from play store to make my swap file . did the rest through terminal. Thanks everyone for making my phone lag free :D
 
This thread is about MIUI Rom or it will be about swap???wth! 0_o

I been super busy, and will make a new thread regarding swap shortly... Initially i was unsure that this would work on anything other than miui, but that's not the case... I just been lazy

I'm having trouble installing flash I downloaded the 10.2 found in this thread but also the one linked here to xda any idea I try installing it but says not installed I tried to both internal and sd
 
Bluetooth file transfer app gives you obex capabilities

That is the app in the screenshot, is it not?
The error message i get would lead me to believe otherwise... I enabled send and receive in the settings to no avail...
