Did you know??
System requirements of ubuntu is
1 GHz CPU (x86 processor (Pentium 4 or better)) <== you GIO is ARM processer not X86 processer
1 GiB RAM (system memory) <== your GIO not have enough ram
15 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach)<== OK you can use 16gb or 32gb Sdcard
800 by 600 screen resolution <== GIO is 320*480 it not enough

Its possible, Because ubuntu has more than one version.
e.g. ubuntu 10.04 can run on a ARM processor (with a little bit of tweaking) and on a 600Mhz processor (and 120mb ram) and thanks to CM7 and other roms we can overclock our gio to 1Ghz

Think about it...do you really want Ubuntu on this small display...makes no fun I think how do you want to work on this, it lags all day on Galaxy Gio.
Written with Swype Beta on Cyanogenmod 7.2(GT-S5660)

It's possible but hard to do...
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA App

It's too hard to do it......

I don't even know if you'd be able to find drivers to make Ubuntu work on the device (e.g., display drivers for X11...)

[tutorial][enable linux swap][alquez unoffical cm7.2]

First: Have Alquez's CM7.2 installed
Second: Flash his new kernel that supports linux swap partitions
Third: Read my tutorial on creating a Ext partition and a third Linux swap partition
Fourth: Read this post by me on how to enable swap persistantly and adjust swappiness.

Does it make any sense to use a swap partition?
I think, no. Why not? Read about in the official cm wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
Android has a very good built-in memory management. Apps not used any more will be closed and memory released. Swap does change that behavior, because RAM now (virtually) is much bigger. There's no sense anymore in cleaning parts of the RAM.
Androids mem management is much more efficient.
The only reason to use swap would be 1st generation phones (G1, Dream, Magic). Wildfire S would have no advantage of swap! Rather the opposite.
Using swap should require at least class 6 SD for not slowing down the device. Plus, the additional write accesses will wear down your sd much quicker.
Everyone has to decide if he wants this. I decided, not to do.

I'm just telling you how. You'll have to decide that for yourself.
Personally I'm just playing around with it...cause I can.

Well, I read a little bout that topic and consider it more harming than useful. (read my edited post above)

Consider setting /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to 10 or even lower for android ?

what on earth is swap anyway?

swap is taking apart of your sd card or internal memory as ram memory like pageing file in windows

Custom Roms with Swap Support ?

Hello,
I have just tested most of the custom roms (wildchild3, Kim's Mod, WhateverMod etc) comes with DUST V9 Overclocked Kernel. I used MiniPartitionTool and created (1gb Ex2 Primary, 512Mb Swap, 2.5GB Fat32 Primary Active).
All of the above Rom builds mentioned that they support SWAP partition. I just want to know that do i need any apk to Configure SWAP or those custom roms comes with pre-configured Swap support. Is there a tool to see swap stats?

Recommendation for ICS And all other GB Roms

Guys I think everyone tested ICS 4.0.4[BETA6] ,well there are a lot of bugs yet to be solved (thanks for Team PECAN) to do such a good job .well incresing RAM memory is not a big issue i think you all know it but still iam posting this thread so that those who are using this ROM for daily use may not have any problem related to RAM uses .
So by this tutorial you can increase your ram memory
Requirements : 1) Swap it ram expander which i think u can download from 4shared.com - free file sharing and storage
2)Free memory in your SD card upto 2 gb ,well using swap it 2gb is the maximum limit for increasing ram (yeah u can expand your ram upto 2gb )
3)well as we know Rooting and all stuff so iam not writing about all these things .
Steps
1) First of all install Swap it ram expander
2)now open application and in my case i gave 512 mb for expansion u can give upto 2 gb as your wish
3)then tick Swap active and swapiness 90
4)u can tick the Autorun option too if u want to use it after reboot and all stuff (well who doesnt want that )
5)Download Link SWAPit RAM Expander v1.2.1.apk - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
well after these steps you will get notification that swap it is running !!!!
ENJOY
After performing these steps you will be able to get 72 mb of free ram in ICS which is good enough .
If any how i helped you Press Thanks !!!

[Q] initrd patcher on Xperia Pro Pacman

Is it possible to use the initrd patcher.zip which makes ist possible to use an ext4-partition on sd-card as internal memory with the actual Pacman-Rom for Xperia-Pro?
The initrd patcher.zip is mentioned in a video-manual for installing Pacman Rom on a HTC HD2, so I wonder if this is possible for Xperia-Pro too.
Or is there another way for the Pro to get extra internal memory?

Old thread pupped up, sorry, but actually I try to find something like that for my sony too, it will work?

good job
