Hello,
To keep it short. I am looking for any other cool things to do with my phone (rooted/S-offed) to increase performance or just cool things to F around There must be tons of possibilities with a rooted/S-offed phone
So far I have done a few:
Custom ROM recent CM7 nightly #208
Juwe's RAM optimization script
Custom theme
SD card ext3 partition for all my apps, so I have plenty of internal memory left
adfree app to block app ads
camera "less picture compression" script
I know I could try different ROM's but I am quite pleased with CM7 so I think I'll just stay with this one for now
Cheers
Could try some stickers lol. Only joking,have you looked into custom mtd? Very good for extra internal memory.

Just a quick and probably silly question about MTD partitioning. (I know the answer for a PC, but not for a smartphone.)
If I resized my MTD and free up internal memory, would this increase the benefits from the JUWES or V6 Ram optimisation or is it just for more storage space for apps?
Its just app storage. RAM (Which Juwe's Script and V6 Supercharger Script optimize) and ROM (Which Custom MTD alters) are different.
Try R3ds themes for cm7... u can get from android market itself.
Most amazing themes ever!!

I keep seeing everybody talking about having an sd-ext partition and how much better it
makes the phone run. Is it possible with a g2, and if so, how do you do it?

If you're running a Sense 3.0+ port I can see the need for swap but for AOSP based ROMs there's no need. We have plenty of RAM. It can actually induce lag and slow things down using it. Use compcache if you really need the extra RAM - of course it will slow things down a bit too but shouldn't be as bad.
As far as using an EXT partition, yet again you don't need it. These things were/are useful for older phones and lower end phones with limited memory and RAM. Unless you just download every app in the market you see, you should have plenty of space on your phone for all your apps. There's no performance gain by putting the apps on your sdcard in an EXT partition.
is there a way to increase ram?? how to over clock wildfire s??
You can overclock Wildfire S up to 806 Mhz with Alquez's CyanogenMod 7
cm7 port is not fullly developed i wud lik 2 w8 for it 2 fully develop...i just installed JikantaruROM XE yest...can i over clock in JikantaruROM XE??? what about ram?
Can't increase RAM, and CM7 is 99% fully developed only thing left is camera flash.
512MB RAM is good, no reason to expand it by swap or something else.
tat 1% is oly important 2 me...hope it is fixed soon....512 ram in tat 250 is always occupied
are you talking about RAM or system flash memory? both start at 512mb but both go down quite a lot. RAM ends up about 300 before boot and about 200 after everything's running. System memory goes down to about 70 with stock ROM and about 120 with a cleaned out ROM, but drops by about 40mb just from syncing contacts and gmail, etc.
data2sd or another similar app let's you have up to 2gb of system flash memory. Remember these are completely different from RAM. you can't really increase the ram.
The only way to 'expand' your ram would be a swap partition on your sd, but this isn't the best way, because it's damn slow and should only be used as fallback within alert situations. I also don't know if sense roms support it.
Swyped from my HTC Desire S
What obvious reasons to use swap in this device? Which app consumes whole system memory? Any ROM with plenty widgets fired on gives 200MB free ...
im talking about the RAM...200 is always occupied...250 is free after killing all the unwanted apps
I flashed the final evolved rom to my evo "r3 charged final"
I have noticed that with all the roms I flashed since 2.3 came out that i have very little free memory the previous rom I had about 130 megs but now I'm running 80 -100 and that is with a task killer set on 1 min kill intervals.
I read about low ram and something called HSPL but i have no idea what it is or how I can flash it
can any one help
also on the rom install i wiped the phone and even formatted the sd card so i know the install was clean ( it also runs really good until the memory gets below 70megs )
thanks for your help
Had the same problem, you need to partition your SD card and install apps 2 SD., I use one called dta2sd( dark tremors Apps2sd. Before using I used to get low memory messages all the time...
Give it a try it helped me out..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
is this for you to move your apps to or is this to use like ram it appears that my phone is running low on ram for the running processes but not room for storage ( I moved almost all my apps to the sd card already )
thanks for your quick reply above
Think its for more memory space for apps, but it must create more system memory as well, because before I used it I had moved all my apps to SD, but I was still running low on memory. Since Ive used apps2sd ive had no more memory shortages
Hope you like that Rom I've used it my self and its a good one.

I just partitioned my card but it did not affect my free available memory but i now have tons of storage space on my phone.
thank you for the advice though i really like having all the apps on a partition freeing up space in the phone any way ( i use alot of apps )

sounds like you don't quite understand the difference between ROM/storage space and RAM/memory.
A lot of people use memory and storage interchangeably but that is not accurate.
The OP is having a problem with low memory/RAM meaning that the OS and running programs are utilizing too much RAM, IE too many apps or processes are running or there is a memory hole/leak somewhere. He is not having a problem with storage space or room to install additional applications or store additional data.
you can use the V6 supercharger or Car-o-dope tweaks (i think thats what it is called) they will increase your RAM
If you get the RC4 release of the V6 (its still stable but not on the main page) you should do option 7 and 20. Be sure to nandroid before.

Aosp is faster then sense ALWAYS. And some roms do use more memory then others

Thanks for the heads up on the RC4 release of the V6 I put it in and it did help my memory on this rom . So after partitioning and running the script I just have one strange question.
Does this rom have a built in power battery saver? i am not running any sort of battery saver, I am running a task killer still but only to see free ram since the script does the task killing now. I notice my wifi shuts off when the phone sleeps and that I have sleep mode that enables at about 11pm. Is there a way to kill this since I do most of my computer geek stuff late at night.
I have looked all through my apps and i have nothing installed that i believe could be doing the power conservation stuff
thanks
Hi everyone,
What about adding swap support to custom kernels to overcome SGW ram shortage? Couldn't post to dev forum so posted here. Please someone reply.
I have my SGW now for about one month and its my first android device.
I havevsome years ofvexperience with Linux and while i was playing around with my phone i have experienced som lag while switching homescreens on Go Launcher.
I have quite some stuff on screens and ex taskmanager widget shows me
that my mem is easily filled when doing some more stuff.
My phone got root and terminal also set up so thought
i go make a swap file on internal sd to give phone possibility
to swap mempages out of ram when needing mor mem.
Been there done that, saw that even if swap helper progs (i.e. mkswap,swapon,
swapoff) exist gives error that kernel lacks swap support.
Dont know why swap not implemented in stock rom, went ask internet for
custom kernel for SGW. Reading Kezras custom rom thread and beeing unable to post
questions to him on his thread , got me here.
I ve also read on internet that there are custom kernel for other devices with
swap activated. Though our fon has quite good processor it lacks ram,
so i wonder if custom kernels here have swap activated and perhaps start discussion here about pros and cons.
Thanx for any replies.
Hi its me again,
searched and found this thread for Htc that points out it could make sense to add swap to phons with little ram but strong cpu .
Check it out here.

But, is our Wonder short of RAM, or short enough to require swap partition on slooooow SD, or comcache using precious processing cycles to compress/decompress ??
Would using memory management, such as zeppelinrox V6 TurboCharger, not be more appropriate?
V6 Main thread
Latest Beta's
Without having to further reduce RAM for comcache!!
or swap partition on SD which is much slower than RAM?
But, I agree, it would be interesting and useful to have Custom ROM, which supported swap or comcache, even for the ability to compare and contrast.
But, there will always be a trade-off when using either comcache or swap....it's just a question of whether the individual user finds it acceptable.
Hi there irishpancake! Just testing the V6 supercharger myself seems pretty ruthless...keeping my used RAM at 230MB almost permanently and lag free! Doesn't quite have the same effect with a custom launcher but TW is flying. I think ur right about our device needing memory management more than anything.

@irishpancake
I ve tried the script you suggested,
and it 'feels' very promising.
I appreciate also your speakout for activating swap support in custom kernels/roms so anyone could choose freely what way to go.
Still virtual ram don't interferes with good memory managment and
with swapspace you have a little extra even if you dont use it and the
slow access is relativated through paging. Wonder if one can set page granularity in kernelconfig ?
By the way if anyone could point a
Rom/kernel developer at this thread as i cant. I would like to hear their opinion on all that.
Thanx for replies so far ....

Hi 2g11 man.....
sorry, I just saw your PM, about V6, and just to say, I find it definitely snappier, and as you have noted, very good on the memory management.
I do not have enuff knowledge to actually give figures or stats, but it just feels much faster, and responsive, lag-free.
I am still using the Update 9 RC4, so I will try out the latest version Update 9 RC6 ASAP....
I use Launcher Pro, just coz I hate TW, and it is remarkably good with the V6 tweaks........and I am still Stock ROM 2.3.6 [KJ6].

changing pagesize is no valid option to influence swapping behaviour.We have to stick to
"swappiness" kernel parameter which can be changed 'online' though.

@irishpancake I guess I didn't properly set the ADW Pro I was testing as the 'default' launcher as described by THE-E in another thread. Will try out the new script as well. Just wondering, do you use options 7,13 and 20 as described in Rio's Black Keys thread? Maybe some other options you've tried?

I think the parent of 'super charger' is juwee ram script.i have used this script in past and it gives amazing performance.

extra tips
Mods like crossbreeder also can make CM7 little fast.
you can share your SD card space with RAM, with Swapper, search XDA for more details.
V6 supercharger is also known as great script for increasing ram usage efficiency.
hope this info helps. you'll find more information if you read around XDA.
Ty for the info just 2 more things how to get crossbreeder and how to use swapper please tell me what's good for swapper ty again for making my wildfire run smooth and the battery is fabulous keep up the good work

I've made a thread about crossbreeder in the themes and apps section, check that out.
Get the crossbreeder Zip files and flash it in CWM recovery. That's it.
Now about swapper,
Android system usually caches apps that it thinks the user would use. That results in faster app opening times and better multitasking, because the apps are already loaded into the RAM.
But when the RAM gets low system clears out cached apps to make space for foreground apps, this is where swapper comes in.
Swapper uses a partition on sdcard (if you have a swap partition),or a file in the sdcard to act as an extended RAM. (sort of )
So, now when the RAM gets low swapper moves some cached data to the sdcard, and frees up space.
So instead of totally killing an cached app, the app still stay cached in the swap file, until its open. Then the data is moved back to RAM.
By the way, swapping will DECREASE the life of your sdcard.
Swapping is not necessary, unless you're into heavy multitasking
Tip - if you have terminal emulator installed, type free and enter, to see the RAM usage
