It is disaster. I really don't know, how to set it right in order to work. Every day 8 sudden restarts. It is so slow, that I would have to use so many four letter words to be able to describe it. And it is slow even with swap.
Despite it this ROM is good, maybe if someone use only 10 or 20 apps, it could work well. Yet I need 60 apps and more.
I can no longer use this ROM and this phone. I have spent so much time when trying to set it right or tune the settings, but nothing has helped. I have wasted so much time when waiting till GUI responds, waiting till it boots, waiting till an app starts, etc...
It will pay off to buy a new phone for even $500 than to continue using this GT540, because in that wasted time I would earn money for ten new phones. I'm sorry.
I'm going to restore some 2.3.x version and to try sell it.
My /data partition is almost full, I can't shrink it. Or did you mean to move all data from /data to sd card and to create swap partition instead of /data? If yes, how?
Well, it seems my worries are history.
Yesterday my phone was working perfectly without swap for whole day. Unfortunatelly in the evening something happened, phone suddenly restarted and didn't boot. It hangs on Cyanogen(mod) logo. I tried to wipe all data and install ROM again, it worked, but after second restart it stopped to boot again. I don't know what to do with it.
EDIT: After wiping data system starts again, so maybe there is some problem in /data or /cache partition?
Man my opinion, don't even bother trying to find a magical solution that makes this phone fast and smooth with 60+ apps in JB when even the fastest GB rom won't be. I have around 40 apps in mine with zoe 7 and guess what? Clear memory is my best friend, even with swap!
If you want to load the phone that way, get used to that type of unresponsiveness and waste of time and live with it while you don't buy a new phone.
You can still try 2.1 or 2.2 roms...
Don't even expect 2.3 and under to be smooth as it doesn't have basic hardware acceleration.
Have you tried lag fix fstrim? Google's solution in 4.3 to speed up nexus 7s when storage gets below the 3gb margin?

Don't have to get do defensive over a old low end phone.

TRIM is not supported on the following partitions:
/system, /data, /cache
This is either hardware or kernel issue and can not be worked around.
... enable/disable swap during runtime. Is there any command for it? ...
swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
cat /proc/swaps
Installing this rom as we speak... seems OK from what I'm reading here.
Also, it would be nice if you posted some screenshots.
Anyway, what I want to ask is this:
Does this rom have any tweaks installed? Like V6 SuperCharger, Kick Ass Kernelizer or 3G TurboCharger?
If it does, please mention these tweaks to the OP.
