Ah, yes, I see it's /vendor/firmware/misc not /data/misc

I have a noob question. If cache and misc are not really used, why do we partition them, mount them and use them for swap? Why not just free them up for more RAM? Or if not RAM, why not just have them as normal folders in their prospective positions rather than mount points?

Please no 'you just can't do that' answers. If someone could explain or give me a link (I've searched, but cannot find much information about the physical side of our Senny's).

The partitions are used by the phone and it not like windows mobile 5 and can use emmc for RAM, hboot and/or recovery are responsible for partitions AFAIK and I personally would not try messing with partitions unless I had a box full of free phones I wouldn't mind bricking :D
I think mike1986 normally posts the partition info, have a search for it ;)

Can you enter the code below into terminal and copy/paste the outcome here, I'm on Slim at the moment and may not be the same as CM
Code: 
df
cat /*/mounts
Also can someone do the same for ViperS v5.x, thanks.

The partitions are used by the phone and it not like windows mobile 5 and can use emmc for RAM, hboot and/or recovery are responsible for partitions AFAIK and I personally would not try messing with partitions unless I had a box full of free phones I wouldn't mind bricking :D
I think mike1986 normally posts the partition info, have a search for it ;)


Could you link me to ROM?
What kernel is used? Enter code below into terminal:
Code: 
uname -a
And what busybox? Enter code below into terminal:
Code: 
busybox cat --help

Hello Hinz,

I recently installed your swap and I have a few comments.

First, it makes my phone faster so kudos. But, is it supposed to drain more battery? Before using your multiswap, I on had 93MB of free RAM. After installing yours (version 4), I had 192MB :D. Is this part of the reason why the battery is draining because it has to work hard to continually swap RAM to get to 192MB? Just wondering.

Second, I am using adblock and after installing your swap I don't have "enough space on the partition" (see attachment). Any fix on that?

Thanks

Your system partition is too low on space like rzr86 said, adaway needs to update the host file stored on your system. Your free RAM is contributed by the size of swap, swappiness, LMK and VM values. You shouldn't notice a big drop in battery, actually swap can also save battery depending on your usage.
