it has been said that 1.22.1 breaks swap you have to use a lower version
try with 1.22.0
Well,this is interesting.When I install busybox v1.20 and reboot,it stays on v1.20 as it should,but after that I install this multiswap,and when I reboot,busybox is back to v1.22 and of course,multiswap is still not working.Take a look at the pictures.

Its like this busybox is integrated into rom and cannot be manipulated.

because multiswap installs also 1.22.1 that's why
do it in this order

install multiswap
install busybox 1.22.0
reboot
then check your swap again

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.
So how can I resolve this?

try it with 1.22.0
otherwise i think OP has to update multiswap for 4.4.4 roms
Tried everything.Still it is no go.I thing this has to be updated to work with android 4.4.4

Yeah it won't work with 4.4 because some partitions are different, I'm not sure if flemmard's kernel even supports swap at this stage.

Hi, not sure but are all your swap files created and also settings maybe overwritten if using an app like Android tuner to edit anything like memory. Lowering your swappiness will use less swap until needed which could improve things on your side. Also you could try the sense version which is without the memory tweaks, they can also be flashed separately. Experiences can be different based on usage, configuration, ROM and user setup/apps etc.

Edit: You could also try MultiSwap Lite > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717352

Doesn't work with cm11 or other 4.4 ROMs yet because I haven't seen a 3.4 kernel that supports swap.
Thanks for time explaining.

I've run removal script accordingly.

I will keep an eye for future changes.

If I'm back using ViperS ROM, I'll definitely use this mod as usual.

Hello, using v3 and it's pretty good. But how swap affects battery? My vipers 3.1.4 seems to consume more battery than no swaps.
And, the swaps always take up about only 50mb memory usage while the other 200 mb swap is free , always like this...
