[MOD] native swap

---

hey 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 :P)

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)

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!!

hahaha thank you
every much bs828 !!!
You helped me a lot!!!

Thanks a lot mate.

Edit: will use this on my girls gt540. :P

These typos was sent from my Nexus S [I9023] :P

custom rom??

I use this method more than 2 or 3 month, thats nothing new. Mur4ik Swiftdroid roms use this method, automatically find&use SD card's swap partition.
Before that, i made a video for my 2.1 Ultimate rom, how to partition SD card under windows to use swap&ext partition. (I use swapper for swap and joe's autoapp2SD in my ROM) Sometimes it not possible because compatibility problems between win&card readers but newer CWM recoveries able to partition cards.

yeah like i said androidboss did not know how to do this so i made this. others may also find is useful so why not make it public ??
