Just wondering if anyone is using Droid Swap and has seen any increase in speed on their device ?
I have tried it out intermittently, but am not sure if it is adding to past reboot issues.

Honestly, I have never used Droid Swap.
However, I got a new SD card this week and didn't partition it for Apps2SD. I have found that my phone is a million times for reliable. That thing where the phone goes to sleep and END won't wake it back up? Gone away.
After all of the initial force closes from apps not being there any more, i had to wipe and reflash my rom, but everything is SO much better with out Apps2SD.

*Shows his forum ignorance*
What the heck is QFT? lol.
Sorry this is the only forum I regular.
QFT = Quite F****** True
So is that why my phone keeps acting flaky? Apps2SD ... I knew some people had expressed concerns about it but I never associated my issues with it. I'm not overly worried about it I guess. I'd rather have all the apps I have on my phone and deal with the occasional reboot or FC.
I personally have not had any problems with FC or reboots with app2sd running

I don't carry around enough apps to bother with it. Thought it was cool at first though.
I have discovered if I don't need it very often I can go to the market just as easy and get it quick.
I do keep the life or death apps on my phone..Facebook. MiKandi, those things.

hehe, years ago in my forum noobness, I always thought it meant "quit f**king talking." Sometimes it made sense, but other times I was just wondering "wtf did he say that was so bad?"
Forums are so much more interesting when you have to make up your own definitions for acronyms.

I use Swapper (same as DroidSwap for all intensive purposes...except that someone took Swapper off the Marketplace). I have a 64MB linux swap partition.
It doesn't work that great if you let it create a swap file on your SD Card, but if you let it initialize your swap partition, it works great. Swap file size is the key. 32MB for casual use, 64MB for heavy use. Anything above 64MB is too much swap space and your phone will slow down alot.

I was fairly annoyed with the whole app issue for awhile, but even now, I barely use all of the apps I have.

Why would it slow down with more memory?
recently done
I rooted and themed droid 1 with a pl3x theme and it allowed me to move any app2sd and i did not have any lag problems.
I found that the theme installer actually had a .apk folder that it pulled all the apps to install during "instal zip from sd" on clockwork recovey. So i simply found all the .apks for every app i wanted and added them to the app folder in the update zip. When i installed the update and booted droid, every app was installed through the android system and no mb internal storage was used. My phone booted up with 260mb free of internal storage. Pretty sick. Instead of having to download every app from market and reduce myself to 190mb's again, this went nice with the 1.25ghz over clock.
But does anyone know of the app called swapper? Im trying to see if its worth messing with on a spare sd card? I dont know if apps are smart enough to know how to use the memory , or is the swapper smart enough to tell the apps its available. I say "tell" the apps because i dont know a better word.
Any chance to set up swap on non rooted phone? (for exmaple set up all things on card from pc, and then just mount it on the phone)
Is there a perfect app that HD2 users use to clear their storage? clean up the memory a little? i have searched, and all searches point me in the same direction.. which was Clean Ram... now i visited the official thread for it.. and after reading through it immensely.. it turns out that the program itself is quite buggy... some even have reports of it not even clearing anything at all...
Now i was wondering if there was a different app that people could recommend me... something that is bug-free and actually works... OR could people enlighten me on CLean Ram? is it as bad as people make it out to be?? or are people just giving bad reviews for no reason?
bottom line: i need to free up some space on my phone.. and would like to use a popular app that works... any suggestions??
thanks
freeram from open market works well
I had a 3 month old Modaco rom and I moved to the newest Damagecontrol
I went from 121 mb available to 63.72mb
Is this normal??
And yes my Apps2sd is working.. I swore that it wasn't myself.

You still have plenty of room. It will not slow down the phone. And dalvik cache might not be on your sdcard. I bet if you download an app, it will decrease the mb. The cache is still on the phone, but the app is on the sdcard.

Damn it..
I wiped..
repartitioned to fat32, Ext2 + wipe
changed ext2 to 3
connected the USB
saw both fat32 and ext disk drives on my CPU
reflashed Damage control
booted up started installing my old programs and what do you know... my memory is dropping DConfig force closed on the original boot up.
Not to mention market listed all my previously downloaded apps until i installed a few and went to the home screen and back and then it cleared the list for me.. Thanks!!
[edit]
I just went into DConfig and it said something about a config file not being set up would i like to set one up now and reboot...
Deleting all apps i can from the market menu and then doing that and trying
I am using Fresh 2.0d.
This is supposed to have apps2sd working for it.
It seemed to work for a while.. then my internal memory started going down after installing apps.
Installed apps2sd 2.5 from darktremor and BAM.. 120 megs internal phone.
Kick me while im down why don't you!!! LOL jk.. I'll have to look into that if I have trouble still..
Does anyone have any recommendations for setting Dconfig..
I'm not exactly sure what dalvik is not Enaling JIT.. or the dalvik heap or lowmemkiller or swapping and the swappyness...
:-(
It would help if you made sense of your posts, cloned2.
Why the sprint hero memory is so low.
check that video it helped me understand why our memory is sooo low after the 2.1 leak.
and this is my useless post of the month. made me laugh. especially since we got the leak when this song came out.
Flash the newest a2sd update.zip and update your dconfig make sure a2sd is running and download some apps to check

Thanks for the humor, I needed something to remind me to not take all of this too seriously.
Truly curious here.
I flashed one of the new NAND Android builds just as soon as they came out, riding the wave of jubilation and unbridled enthusiasm over ditching Windows Mobile. But I live in Germany, meaning my HD2 contains half of the internal storage of its American counterparts.
After flashing a NAND Android Rom, the phone is left with a paltry 100 MB or so of free space. When it comes to installing apps, some of them CANNOT be prevented from finding their way to the internal memory, try as you might to keep them off.
No matter what I tried, I found my internal memory depleted, immediately, with a good number of apps still to install, but no room left to install them.
Are Europeans left simply hanging in the breeze on this one?
All commentary appreciated. Enjoy your New Years celebrations.
Use a program called apps2sd and install them to SD
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
Not a Dev thread... Doesn't belong here. Moved to Q&A.
It's free on the market its easy to use

More than 50% of the app I have cannot be moved to SD card, even with APP2SD.
Cyanogen mod leaves 200mo.

The only hope is that someone will find a way to use a second ext2/ext3 partition in sd card as internal memory. It has been done in normal android phones, so i think it can be done to HD2 nand android.

This suggestion ignores what was stated clearly in my initial post - that certain apps CANNOT be prevented from installing to the internal memory, regardless of 3rd party apps like app2sd.
install move2sd enabled (root only) with this you can FORCE sd install for all apps
a few months ago a bunch of kernals supported ext partitions. this is make a comeback. You will partition your sdcard with lets say 1gb ext partition and the rest will be fat. With ext partitions all app installs will work. its the same method currently employed on all low end android devices, like the htc g1.
now, nand was just released yesterday. give the devs some time, look at the they have accomplished so far. they will fix this issue along with curing cancer next week

No way to say for sure. I would suggest reinstalling. But, as another poster said, the NAND Cyanogen mod ROM out right now leaves 200 MB after install, which might be just enough to squeak by for the time being. It's what I'm going with, anyway.
i ever laught about the "app2sd" comments in market with my 1024mb data.img ..
but i have all my "crap" installed that i use, and i have 20mb free.. its enough for me

untill you get 1 text or mms to many and it says, low memory.
even if you have just about managed to squeez it all on at the moment, as you start using the apps and caches are created and messages are sent to and fro you will soon run outta the last 20mb too.
plus you never know when you might want to install a new app.

Loooooooooool, exactly the same for me, always laughing at those who were forced to uninstall apps from their nand cause lake of memory and the no possibility to install them on sdcard, and for now, I'm about to live their situation... that's why I don't want yet to pass to a nand Rom, will wait some times before, even if it's hard to resist ...
I always used to install all my apps to the nand memory (my 1024mb data.img of course !!) In order to keep as clean as possible my sdcard, indeed, all my data and apps files were stored in my data.img.
Hope devs would keep the possibility to extend the nand memory in a file as always... keep on it guys... who knows, it could.also help many others Android based phone...

move2sd is the solution.
Not completely, but much better than app2sd.
Possibly a lost cause to the Sense builds, but not these builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893637
It initially leaves a massive room in the internal storage and since it's Cyanogen Mod, go to settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Application Settings and tick Allow application moving.
This essentially force moves every application to the SD while programs like App2SD cannot move all apps.
Get it now.
I've installed more than 60 apps now with over 100 megs still left.
My nexus 7 2012 is brderline unusable since this update. Very slow and laggy. Anyone else getting this? If I have to factory reset I feel I may as well put a new ROM on it and maybe over clock.
What's regarded as the fastest, most but free ROM out there?

Assuming you have a reasonable amount of free storage on your Nexus 7 (Disk Info app works well for checking this -- data section), you might want to simply try wiping your cache partition in Recovery. Do not wipe anything else, just the cache partition. Then reboot.
If this does not work for you, you can download a free app named Forever Gone which appears to free up a lot of storage, though it was not built for that. If you do run it, write down the free storage amount before you start and check it after. I gained 2GB the first time I ran it!
There are other things you can try, but one of the above should do the trick for you.
