Hi, here is a good mod specially for gaming and ICS roms which consumes big memory amount!!!
It is basically an .sh script that enables swapping. This makes device use part of sdcard to use it as RAM memory, so it can be increased a lot...
The only requirement is have root, use relatively fast sdcard and have enabled init.d scripts..
WI always have used this mod on my phone so i think it no needs testing
To it follow these steps:
With this, you will:
But this is not all!! You can open and edit this file to adapt it to your requirements:
I forgot it! To use this, remember that you should:

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT WORKING, DELETE 00userinit and follow the steps with 01userinit attatched file

To it follow these steps:
1.- Root your device
2.- Make a swap partition in your sdcard (this step will format your sdcard!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
2.1-In step 3 select "swap partition"
2.2-I recommend to make ~512MB partition because the SO will be going to fill it during you use the phone, but i always had 1GB partition, and no problemsYou can select 100MB or 50MB, but this is too little
3.- Check if there is a folder called init.d inside /system/etc/
3.1-If its there, follow next steps
3.2-If it is not there, you must activate init.d support, follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422061
3.- Copy 00userinit file to your device (must remove the .txt extension of the file, because i needed to put it to attatch the file)
4.- With root explorer, xplore, or similar copy it to /system/etc/init.d
5.- Set all permissions: rwxr-xr-x
6.- Reboot device
7.- For checking if it works, download Terminal emulator and type "free". See attatchment.
8.- If "swap" line has no "0" value, it works, congratulations![]()
With this, you will:
Have swapping activated in your phone permanently, or until you remove that script or change of ROM.
Have bigger RAM memory amount, depending on your swap partition size
If you use supercharger or any RAM manager program, i should recomend you to activate hard gaming option, because:
-As you have bigger RAM memory, the useless aplications, instead of be closed, they will be stored in your sdcard partition so, you re able to have multitasking and hard gaming option at the same time
But this is not all!! You can open and edit this file to adapt it to your requirements:
You can edit this line to set swapiness cuantity, this defines the OS tendency to use swap partition, I not recommend to set it to 100, but 60 is good. Also, if you have slower sdcard, you should set it to 30~40:
-Change 60 value by something you want from 1 to 100 "then echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;"
If you have another sdcard partition like EXT4 or something to APP2SD, you should change the last number of "mmcblk0p2" by the number of the partition, i mean:
-If you have 3 partitions with this order: Fat32(that you use everyday), EXT4, and SWAP you should change it by mmcblk0p3
-If 3 partitions with this order: Fat32, SWAP,and EXT4, you should set it mmcblk0p2
I forgot it! To use this, remember that you should:
