Internal Swap
You can create a swap file inside your /data partition (faster than SD Card) and enable it (I've tested it on my Galaxy 5 but never on my Defy+).
Create the file: (131072/1024=128MiB)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/internal_swapfile bs=1024 count=131072
Prepare the file:
mkswap /data/internal_swapfile
Activate swap:
swapon /data/internal_swapfile

you can set any size just replace the count with the amount of swap you want (for 256Mb it would be 256*1024=262144)
however,
i'm no expert but i would seriously consider using data partition for swap as i don't think it's suitable for continous reading and writing which can decrease your internal memory's lifetime. i'd choose to create swap partition on sdcard if it's class is good enough rather than using internal memory as the sdcards can be easily replaced contrarary to nand memory.
Hello!
Unfortunately I have deleted internal storage in TWRP recovery.
Now I want to try to restore the files using Testdisk / Photorec.
The directory of interest is: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
Is this directory located on a specific partition?
If yes, which partition?
And can I create an image of this partition with dd?
My device get hw partition corrupted and now my sims not working, are recognized but not signal. And the only way is restoring hw partiton from a working phone.
PLease can someone with rooted device sent me this file? Is only 8mb.
which file do you need? is it not the gpt.bin file in the stock files?
I accidentally flashed the wrong stock firmware, wiping my EFS/PDS/persist partition, which means that my IMEI and WiFi are wiped. Can someone please give me a backup of theirs to modify and restore?
Yes, I have tried flashing the correct stock firmware.
My device is the XT1926-7 (RETLA), although any other pds partition from other dual sim model might work.
Also, just having the file structure and the files of the /persist folder would help.
/pds = /persist (symlink)
You can't restore your IMEI with a backup of another persist partition. You need your own persist. Read this:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/dev-fixing-baseband-t3806064
Although it's for Moto g5 these threads can give you detailed information about your issue. The file structure is the same for both.
I've done a dd of my persist partition in TWRP and backed it up off of the phone. It came out at 64mb. Is this the correct size?
