[MOD] native swap
- Thread starter -Grift-
- Start date
I've copied it to system/etc/init.d/ rebooted the device, but again when I type free in the console it does not work? It shows swap 0.
Do I need to set some permissions (777) to the file, or do something with the script manager?

I forgot to set the execute permission chmod 777 did the trick
Thank you all for your help

Yes. it can work. In ClockworkMod recovery you have option to partition your sd card and it asks you how large you want partitions to be for swap and for link2sd.
3 things could be wrong:
-permissions: try with chmod 755 /etc/init.d/07swapon (777 is OK too)
-group: chgrp shell /etc/init.d/11link2sd
-interpreter path: change the first line of 07swapon from #!/system/bin/sh to #!/system/xbin/ash (only good for AOKP)
But I believe only the first is really relevant. If it still doesn't work (after rebooting, obviously) make sure you do have a swap partition in the SD, and it's a primary one, not logical.

Make 3 primary partitions, and make sure the fat16/32 one for data is first and the one for link2sd is the SECOND one, either of type ext2 or ext3, ext4 is not recommended for now.

9hey guys im making this thread cus androidboss dint know how to do this and im mkaing it easier for him(might help others too so)
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEAD SDCRADS PHONES LAPTOPS DESKTOPS AND ANYTHING ELSE
requirements
-windows computer
-phone with swiftdroid or any rom that supports inti.d boot scripts
-recovery 5.0.2.3
1. backup all sdcard stuff to computer.
2. wipe all data from the sdcard. after that use this to remove all partitions from sdcard( if you do not have any other partitions on sdcard skip to the end bellow the last picture)
http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
the pics will look may look different cus im using a older version
mine looks like this
to remove all the other partitions
when all is done click apply at the top lefthand corner. at the end after it refreshes make sure there is only one partition left . the FAT32 partition.
so now the card has no data put it in the phone and boot into recovery(5.0.2.3). there go to advance>partition sdcard>EXT size 2M(2M if you dont want a ext partition but if you want then the size is up to you )>swap size 256m
power down the phone and put back data into the sdcard. now enjoy swap
well this is my first thread so hope it helps!!11
look in root explorer (or any root file manager), in folder etc/init.d
if there isnt script called 07swapon, the swap wont active. and afaik, mike's ics doesnt have this script. u must add it manually.
