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.

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.

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.

Why would it slow down with more memory?

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)

So I've learned more about android so far than I intended or expected. I haven't needed to learn about or implement a2sd but at this point my "keepers" app collection has me down to just over 20mb free internal storage so I'm considering taking the plunge.
I haven't used a2sd yet for two reasons:
A) I haven't needed it
B) I've read lots of threads regarding difficulty with setting it up and maintaining it when switching or updating roms
So what's the scoop? Is it worth it? Is there any performance gain or is it strictly a storage benefit?
Should I go ahead and learn about it so it's in place when the time comes that I want to use it or am I better off with my current rule of thumb? Which is "if I think I NEED a2sd then I probably NEED to reevaluate my app library".
Thanks guys

Unless you are running out of space on your phone, I wouldn't worry about it. It is supposed to be faster if you have one of the $100 8gb class 10 thingys but I don't know if its true. its fast enough already
My vote: Nay
I have never used it and have never run short of space on my phone. From all the millions of posts on the subject I can't imagine it being worth the huge pain in the ass it seems to be!
I use it, as I have and do run out of space on /data.
I have a 16 GB class 2, so I've always refrained. I'm not running out of space, but I usually decide whether or not I like an app right after I install it and if I don't like it, uninstall.
So, to answer your question...
I don't know, I'm curious myself.
I use, ran out of space on my phone the first week so was excited to do it. it was a piece of cake to set up with RA 1.6.2, and switching roms has been no big deal, I usually first try to update without wiping ext, and 9 times out of 10 it works fine and I don't have to download my apps again (though you do lose data, but that can be backed with titanium. If it does mess up, it's no big deal, I adb pull the apps out with a * and they're all on my computer pretty quickly so I can reinstall as necessary.

I love a2sd cause I have a 8g card vs a small internal storage space on the phone. A2sd is very easy.
1. Backup your SD card on computer.
2. Root your phone if you haven't.
3. Partition your SD card via the recovery menu(I used 512mb for my ext2).
4. In the same menu at that below it change it from ext2 to ext3.
5. After complete put all of your files back on your SD card that you saved to your computer.
6. Then mostly every new 2.1 ROM has it built in now where it runs from the first bootup with no patching or user issues. Just make sure you look in the description of the ROM to make sure.
I'm running Fresh 2.0d. I just upgraded to a new 8g SD card for more music and movie storage space. So I just re-did the process. The longest part is waiting for the files to be transfered to/from the computer.

I doubt it, actually. The class rating only refers to the minimum write speed in an optimal situation. Read speeds seem to be decently high across the board. You'll probably never notice any difference, if there even is one.

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.

You never need over 600mb. Honestly, there's no way you need 500 apps+ (which still probably wouldn't fill up 600mb.)
Does anyone think that it would be ok to simply resize rather than wipe/reinstall/reformat to lower size?
I don't think you can. If you could, I wouldn't. Just backup all your data on sdcard, reformat it, then transfer it all back.
It's not too bad.

ROFL I have 512mbs and over 100 apps on my phone.. You should attempt to download the marketplace 1 app at a time and see how many of the 150,000 apps you can fit onto your phone
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.

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.

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.
I know we've all come across this at least once. Whether it's your Device or, your Girls. That Damm Pop Up saying " Low Disk Space " . I now have a solution for it that isn't as drastic as Re-Flashing the Entire Rom. Believe me I was surprised it would be this simple. Coincidentally it also resolved the other Pop of of " Insufficient Memory " . I would re-post it here again, but I didn't want to double post the same thing. So I'll Link you to my original Post.

Thanks for this, good idea for my wife's LG Optimus - her dialer storage is always eating up the most free space and there's only like 160mb to play with total. And she's tied to the thing all the time so getting it away from her long enough to flash a new rom and set up a2sd-ext is tough - this will be a lot quicker.

Keep me posted on how it goes. I've had a few people try it on other Devices already with no issues .
I moved my dialer storage and it did next to nothing. Then i moved data for a couple games and it made a HUGE difference.

It really just depends on how much data is there. Your dialer storage could have been so small it made no difference. I haven't had to worry about low storage on my doubleshot because we got almost 1GB for apps and I usually install about 200MB of apps and that's it. Some of the main memory hogs are games that need 300mb or more of additional data like gun bros ect. Angry birds also takes a chunk of space.

Very true. But for most users Dialer Storage is Big. I still play the Hell out of Angry Birds. Sometimes the App Cahce gets as high as 50MB, and Data well lets not get into that. Since it's on the SD Card I don't much worry about it. But I always tell people to keep in mind that the SD Card Class has a lot to do with how the Apps perform form the SD Card.

Kool thanks for the input . Yes moving App Data to the SD Card will free up a good amount of space. Just be sure your running at least a Class 4 or better SD Card.

Yeah i got a 16 gig class 4 with a 1 gig ext partition. I'm not heavy with my volume of apps though. Outta curiosity i wonder how much would be freed if I move my angry birds too ... lol
Depends on how much App Data you have. I always look at how much is there before I make a decision to move it. Also gives me a good judge of what I gained. Just be aware that some Games slow down if you move App Data to the SD Card. But it also depends on the SD Card, and your SD Card read ahead. But you can always move it back.
Yeah I have no real need to move anything now. Was just curious to see. I'll look at it later when I get bored ... it'll gimme something to do.
I was having an issue with my phone running choppy occasionally and I started getting random reboots every once in a blue moon. Turned out to be my memory settings and nothing with my data storage. So I'm back to being completely satisfied with everything again.
I'm wondering how others have their read ahead speed set. I have mine at 2048kb because thats what I read was optimal. But when I experimented with v6 supercharger, it said I should set that to 1024kb instead. I also have a 16gb class 2 microsd with a 1gb partition. I'm no longer using v6. Just wondering.

Depends on your SD Card Class, and your Device. But I've found that 2048 works well for me my Device, and my particular SD Card. My partition is 2GB. I used SD Tools to check which read ahead setting was best for me.

Kool . Glad I could help.
Oh BTW peeps I know I misspell " Cool " all the time. It's intentional :silly: .
I'm running MikShift v2.1 with a2sd and when I long press on dialer storage in Titanium Backup it doesn't give me the option to move data to SD.
Do you get a minu that says "Special Features" at the top or does it say "Backup Porperties"? If it says "Backup Properties" try swiping to the screen on the right. The "Special Features" is what you want.

How do I figure out what is the best setting from this? 16gb class 2.
