About Swap Memory - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi comunity!
Well you'll see, I will try ro explain the best I can, because I still don't dominate the English language, so here I go.
I'm from Mexico city and I have an Xperia Arc S LT18a when I brought it, the device come with GB 2.3.4 so I read a lot and then I could flash without fear a "clean" firmware and then I could upgrade to ICS so, my device is locked bootloader, but it's rooted and with CWM I've played some time with the Fw 431 and proved mod roms for stock, in this moment i have the Fw 587 and the doubt I have after all the story nobody wanted to read is, that when I was in 431 and I checked the memory status with SetCPU the section with swap total and swap free always was in 0 no matter if I was at stock Fw or in a mod rom, and now I don't know how magically I have data using that status, and the point it's that I just have Fw stock 587, a few apps ported from Xperia S, MicroSD Adata 32GB class 10 partitioned with 29GB fat32 & 1.91GB Ext3 for using with Link2SD (1.87 after the formating process, and 1.74 it's what Link2SD has recognized or assigned after mounting the partition.)
Rooted with the downgrade kernel proces and flashed back the kernel, the same configuration when I was on 431 and never saw any movement on the swap memory. This could be a new benefit of the new characteristics from Fw 587? With this I think could be possible to use swapper for make a 256mb file swap for use it? Somebody had noticed this too or this is normal and i'm a total nooby asking stupid questions? Btw when I was preparing the device to kernel downgrade, flash tool detected that was busybox 1.84.5 already installed, and I was just about to begin to move the guts to my phone.

Do you have stock HBOOT or CM7? If you have stock you should have selected the A2SD+ option when the ROM was flashing. If you are not sure then maybe start again, boot into recovery and do a full wipe, flash the ROM and make sure you select the correct option when prompted (A2SD+ for Stock HBOOT, A2SDX for CM7)
hi i chose the A2SD+ option upon installing, should i carry out the partion before installing rom or after?or does it make no difference
Partitioned SD card for A2SD+ correctly?

Lost space? Perhaps game data

Hi all,
I just went from full stock to ordroid 7.1.0. When I check my available space I see this.

Now I have lost a lot of space "overig". Is this maybe caused by previously installed games? And if so, how do I fully delete game data without fusing around in explorer?

you should start with cleaning the sdcard from useless things

It is the other storage I am worried about
you mean the 25Gb available and not 32?

No I think he means the 4.43 GB out of 6.76 GB
It's a little strange, cause the App space is at my phone (stock 2.17) is 2.11 GB and I have 1.28 GB available. So you have more space available then me on Stock ROM with 852 MB on Apps. I wouldn't worry at this moment. But you could ask at the Ordroid thread, why it's showing so much space and "Overige" section.
This is mine... But it seems ok

OK I am fed up with this storage!!!!

OK I know there is a way to spoof the system to think that a partition on the SD card is system memory...so can anyone link me to this app it would be berry much appreciated. thanks again

Obvious answer... Link2SD? It'd amaze me if you haven't heard of this.
I'm at 338 installs and still have 319MB free.

Rooted firmware with unlocked partition + custom kernel with partitions unlocked support (latest baseband .79 + Lupus v10) and a sd card will do the job in the best way, 112 apps installed and moved into sd and still 270 mb of internal memory
EDIT *Dont know about R800x users*

Trekstor Surftab Xiron 10.1

Hello everybody,
I just bought this tablet and I was looking for a way to root it.
Anybody knows if there's a known way? Would the root method for Xiron 7 work?
Antutu says "Have root access = yes" so I've tried to simply install super su but it won't work and Root cheker says that the device isn't rooted :/

ok, I did it
I used Uberizer with the choice c - 16/17/18 (in that order, I was just shooting blanks and I succeed XD)
Now I have an another big problem...
This tablet have a really good 12gb of internal storage but it is definitely useless...
I can't use it to install apps and nor I can't use SD to install app! No way to move apps into one of the two mount point.
The problem is that internal is "emulated"
I've already tried app as Folder Mount, Mount2SD and Root External 2 Internal but with no success.
Someone know a way to enable my tablet to install apps to NAND Flash (preferred) or at least onto SD Card?
or even how to redistribute the NAND to the Internal Storage (all of it)? Like I did with my Cubot One.
Thanks!!
Same problem here. impossible to install any app on sd card using this tablet. Please help.
Nevermind didnt see 2# post. sorry

Can't mount /storage/extSdCard after partition SD Card CWM NOT WORKING AT ALL

Hi, I'm hearkenoath and I have to bear with a Galaxy Fame GT-6810L ;P Not complaining so much recently though.
I partitioned mi 32 GB SD class 4 Card Adata (if the brand helps) using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition like sayhellotwoheaven posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363 I followed his steps and numbers. Even though I knoe that partitions should be only 20% of the total space.
And I know, I know: maybe our kernel doesn't support EXT4. I'm using Corsifame ROM from this forum but the perfomance was pushing me to smash my device against the wall. So I was interested in swapping virtual memory AND I KNOW, VM has a reduced number of R/W cycles and potentially can fry my SD/internal storage.
I used this helpful thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50143050&postcount=101&nocache=1&z=8882311745546758 and set it up to full ZRAM usage and Swap partition (since the other options don't worked for me)
The result was superb, so much better that before or with the 32 GB card not partitioned but the space ended in 9.99 GB only readable trough the phone and with the Kies installed.
My problem is this: the SD card cant mount, obviuosly I can't flash zips from CWM (only using /sdcard0) or backup and that stuff. I tried umount /storage/extSdCard/ and mount/ from CWM. Also can't cd to that directory (but I feel like never can't)
What can I do?
My root was with VRoot if helps. I appreciate all input.
P.S. I followed this tutorial and got Backtrack 5 running in our humble device. I always thought that my device would freeze
