Hi everyone.
My main question is should set swap space to 0 or other number. If I'm not mistaking new Android phones come with swap space not set to 0. I always heard when I use Linux as my main OS that u should set swap space the same or twice of ur ram memory value. I'm asking this coz everyone says to set swap space 0 but ics uses swap space by default and in Linux OS u should never set swap as 0 unless u have enough memory ram(6 or 8gb of ram) and still is not recommend. Anyone who has a better idea of how this works, please explain. I'm very confuse here.. ;(

Then what is the point in set a swap space if the value is 0. The OS is not gonna use it, right???

If the kernel you are using supports swap, then set it

Im trying to partition my sd card so I can have it for roms that utilize apps2sd so I go onto rom manager to pick my ext size and I pic 512 (the largest they have ) then it asks me for the swap size??? No idea what that is it defaults at 32mb with a few more choices ...I have the stock 8gig (7.40) actual space. So...what swap size should I use?

Default options are usually fine. Go with 512MB for apps and 32MB for swap.

Ive seen in my Build.prop file or whatever its called, I was looking through it and it says a line about the vm heap size = 32, if I changed that to a larger number wouldit make any performance differences and if so what number is recommended? <3
it's better to use some app like SD-booster or system tuner pro . increase your heap size step by step and check witch one is stabler for you .
i already using 1024 , (( for me )) it's better than 512 and 2048
good luck man
Vm heap I changed it to 60 and its faster but ypu need to free internal memory and boost your sd card using rom manager.

When you say internal memory is that app space memory?
Swapper always sped up my phone mostly bcuz we dnt have a lot of ram I converted my swap partition into a2sd partition but now I want it back is there anyway to re enable swap suppourt ?
Edit* still nobody able to answr my question? If I'm doing something wrong tell meim using swapper 2 if someone wants to walk me through setting it up manually that wud be great.

Anyone know why my "RAM" ALWAYS SHOWS UP AS 360MB? Thought the HOV was 512mb DDR2?

yes but the remaining RAm is used for running system processes
so it is completely normail
however if your rooted u can try swap script to increase RAM

What's a swap script? It seems a little weird to show 360mb...... Why not show the 512mb and then what's used? And yeah saying it has 4 gb internal is messed up too. I can only use 967mb. But I have a 16gb card not too big of a deal.

I think first he must ask the rom developer about the swap otherwise the script will run but it wont work like it had with me

your phone is completely fine
ignore the fools
internal memory is 4GB but look at the back of your mobile box
It is stated that: the operating system utilizes some of the phone storage
its kinda hard to read coz its written in very small letters

That is the total storage our phone has. Roughly 1GB for apps, 0.7GB for system and around 1.7 GB internal SD card if my memory is serving me right.
