Custom MTD Partion size - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
how can i find out, how big is my /system partion?
i have CM9 on my wildfire and i remove some apps that doesnt work(dont use theme) like galery etc. and i would like to use the smallest partion for /system i can.

you can use freespace app from play store.

You can use from terminal:
df -h
Or from PC:
fastboot shell df -h

thx for help

hint: it's from the same dev as S2E (you can find it in the market from inside S2E plus: you can call it from inside S2E, too if you have it installed)

[Cuestion] Swap Partition on CyanogenMod 7.2

I tried every way, but I can not use the swap partition on my WFS.
I installed the latest version of the ROM and the Kernel, but I can't make it work.
Does anyone know what should I do to run the "Swap Partition" on my phone?
Go through this.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
The cyanogenmod team feels that swap doesn't serve it's purpose on an Android device. To quote them
"This question is hotly debated, but you almost definitely do not need swap or compcache. The only exception to this may be if the device is a first generation device (i.e. HTC Dream or HTC Magic). If you think swap or compcache may make the device faster, feel free to follow the directions below."

And the WFS is not a first generation device
If you still want to go ahead with it, that link provides a how-to.
But the problem is that with this ROM my phone does not recognize the swap partition. I would like to post on its own thread, but I can not because I am a new user.

You have to create a mount script and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it the same permissions all the other files in init.d
Attached is the code to use if you have swap as the third partition on your SD card. Remove the .txt extension and place it in /system/etc/init.d and give it the appropriate permissions then reboot
Use the command "free" in a terminal session to verify swap is active and working.
It should be pretty straightforward to modify it to be the second if you aren't using an SD Ext partition for programs.
The code is:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#Checks for a swap partition on mount 3 of the SD card and use it for swap partition.
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
#Uncomment the line below to adjust swappiness. Default is 60 I believe
# echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;
Change the line:
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
to
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ];
If you only have your FAT32 Primary and your Swap partition and no SDExt
I will try it this evening. Some people told me that oboe is that I created the Swap Partition with the recovery and I have to create it with the PC.
If I get it working I'll post my results. If not you will see me here again.

When I try to move the script to the specific file I get: failed to copy, or failed to move. How could I copy or move the script in /system/etc/init.d and give all permissions? I am using ES File Explorer and ASTRO. Should I move the zipped file or only the script? I couldn't move none of them

You have to mount system partition as RW to be able to manipulate with files there, big white button "Mounr R/W" in the upper part of the Root explorer app while you are in /system/etc/init.d folder. Then you put there swap.txt file that d33ps1x provided up in the post, rename it just to swap and reboot phone.
I did that with almost every version of cm7 from the begining (in which kernel allowed that) and every time it worked, tnx to d33ps1x

Then the problem can be with kernel on ROM you are using, basic thing is that kernel needs to be abble to support swap for swap to even work... Can't help you much there since you are probably on marvelc version according to you'r country flag, i'm on diferent version. Some1 with same model as yours could help you tough
Is there any way to install another ROM that support swap? which ROM should I use? is there any tutorial?

The [2nd] above post is correct. Swap support is enabled in some custom kernels. If you're looking for another ROM, you're going to primarily ask about the kernel included with that ROM. Stock kernels do NOT support swap. You can enable swap [if you have a supporting kernel] via A2SDGUI or terminal... read up and familiarize yourself with linux swap.. since Android is a branch of Linux; same principles apply

This says it's possible to enable swap and compcache on CM7.2, but the howto wiki link is dead
To answer you question directly, by default the swap and Compcache schemes are disabled, but if you still feel the need to use them, above link provides you with a how-to.
So, yes, the CyanogenMod 7.2 supports swap and its usage needs to be activated.

What could i do to enable the swap partition?

Hello,
I have the stable release cyanogenmod 7.2.0.
Swap is not working and gives following message:
swapon: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: Function not implement
I found some notes saying that the problem is the kernel not supporting
swap. Which kernel can I use with cyanogenmod 7.2.0 with swap support?.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] Removing CM9 Voice search.apk

Is there a way I can remove the gapps apk and replace it with the one in the market?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA
Use titanium backup, or es file explorer in es give root permission and mount file system.
Delete the apk, it will be in system/apps
Titanium is an easier option.
Or if your a boss
adb shell exec rm /system/app/(name of app without spaces I guess).apk

[HOW TO] Create Swap File For Galaxy W

Cheers! This is my first thread. Hopeful i'm not reposting similar thread.
I will tell you how to create swap file for our W. Anyway, swap file works like swap partition. It can help your RAM for improve our W performance.
1. Root your phone
2. Install Superuser
3. Install Busybox
4. Install Terminal Emulator
If you are using CM10 from arco, that's mean you don't need to follow first 4 steps.
5. Open Terminal Emulator
6. Change directory to external sd card (external is recomended, because we won't take some spaces on internal sd card)
Code:
[email protected]:~$ su
[email protected]:~# cd /external_sd
7. Create swap file under external_sd directory. I will create 512MB swap file. If you wanna create other size of swap file, just change value of count. 512 is recomended.
Code:
[email protected]:/external_sd# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=512
8. Set the right permissions (a world-readable swap file is a huge local vulnerability)
Code:
[email protected]:/external_sd# chmod 600 swapfile
9. After creating the correctly-sized file, format it to swap:
Code:
[email protected]:/external_sd# mkswap swapfile
10. Activate the swapfile:
Code:
[email protected]:/external_sd# swapon swapfile
11. Check your swap, whether is work or not.
Code:
[email protected]:/external_sd# free -m
Check your swap, if the value exactly like your value on 7th step, then you did it!
Any question? Just ask here.
You did it? Why U No hit thanks button?
This does not create a partition right? Just a swap file.. Like the paging file in windows?
My only concern is does it really help that much? What I mean is a user noticeable difference. Also would it make the lifespan of the SDcard shorter? Higher the class of the card, the better it is???
I have never done swap on my older phones and I really would like to do it if it makes a whole a lot of difference in terms of usage.
Also can you also let us know how to revert back in case one does not like it? Just delete the file?
Thanks for your answer in advance.

You should instead try changing bs=1M to bs=$((1024*1024))
Reason: Flash memory works in blocks. bs is the amount of data being written at a time. If you write 1 byte at a time, you're writing thousands of times to the same block, which not only makes the process slower, but also shorten the life of your Flash memory (because, appending 1 byte requires a cycle of: read the whole block, add one byte, write back the whole block).
The largest Flash memory block size I can ascertain from specs on the Internet is 128 KiB. Thus, bs=$((1024*1024)) would be suitable (1 MiB is an integer multiple of 128 KiB).
If your dd doesn't support the bs parameter at all, you really should replace it with one that does.

Swap files larger than 64 MiB *will* result in additional lags. Larger than 128 MiB, your phone will be very slow.

I assume you put the swap file in /sdcard ?
The first partition of the SD Card does not get mounted until all scripts in init.d have finished. I'm experimenting with Stericson's new BusyBox, which includes the 'nohup' command.

[Q] Symlink from /sdcard to /storage/extSdCard

Hi
I'm trying to use a symlink from the internal SD card to the external one so I can use WikiDroyd on a larger disk. I have done this before to map google music to my extSDcard and it works great, using this command
ln -s /storage/extSdCard/googleMusic/ /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
but when I try
ln -s /storage/extSdCard/WikiDroyd/ /storage/emulated/0/WikiDroyd
I get Function not implemented. I'm guessing it's because /storage/emulated/0 doesn't support symlinks, is this because of it's disk format? Does anyone know how to find out it's format? Can I reformat it?

Is /storage/emulated/0 the default directory for the app? If so, it may be failing due to trying to replace an existing directory with a symlink (particularly if that pre-existing directory is in use at the time).
If the app's directory setting can be altered, why not try putting the symlink elsewhere? Even if the app doesn't let you set a custom directory, creating your symlink elsewhere would, if successful, narrow down the likely causes of the error (unfortunately, if the app's directory setting is hard coded out otherwise unchangeable, then it would also prove that what you want to do is not possible, at least not through this approach)

That's a good point, I thought that certain configurations might work (like placing the link on an ext partition that points to a file on a fat 32 partition, since Linux can read both and Windows would never see the Linux-style link, for example) but I'll double check...

Why not just click the "remount r/w" button in Root Explorer (navigate to /system, then click it)? From my experience, whenever another app can't mount /system by itself, Root Explorer always helps it outta trouble.

If Root Explorer doesn't remount, there's a good chance you aren't properly rooted. You can verify this by 1) flashing the latest SuperSU zip or 2) flash another ROM and see if things work.

Did the update change OS, by that I mean 4.2.2 to 4.3? Perhaps metamorph doesn't work properly with 4.3. Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the app?
If all you are doing is changing softkey images, I am pretty sure AOKP has options to do that within the ROM
metamorph has not been updated lately and therefore has not been made compatible with 4.3+ hence why you receive the /system rw error . if you check busybox and run the script or manually thru terminal you can verify if /system is RW or not.

I CAN mount/remount system as r/w and then r/o using root explorer and i also get a notificatioin that superuser granted to root explorer. But Metamorph still doesnt work. It worked on my previous version as said in 1st post so dont know what the problem is.

Assuming you have a similar problem, how exactly is it going? This thread is a bit 'outdated' now because OP had trouble with an app intended for earlier Android versions. Apparently he was trying to use Stericson's Metamorph on a wrong Android version, thus it wasn't able to mount system R/W...
