[Q] How can i get SwapIt Ram Expander working on my GP 5.0 - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I just got my GP a few weeks ago I just rooted to install the whatsapp. But now that i want to expand my ram i just cant do it.. It says that the swap function has been disabled.
PS. I also installed the BusyBox Pro
PS2. Its the american version YP-G70

Hmm, idk. I have never even heard of this app until now, and it seems like an interesting idea. The compatibility checker app says my 4.0 is compatible, but I don't want to dish out 8 bucks on something that might not work.

Im user of SWAPiT Ram Expander...Its awesome app in benchmark you doesn´t see results but in big games (like amazing spider-man) you can see its much more smoother x) I think swapIT doesn´t support any ICS rom, but on GB rom it should run without problem

thx man I made some research and I just need to installa a new kernel that supports swapit

I have chip rom and swapit expander work no problem..this app just saves this device..only problem with this device for me was little ram memory and with this app no lag on any game and no single launcher redrowing since I use this app.

But where can I get a kernel that supports the swapit for the usa version? Because the ones that allow the use of swapit disable my device capacitive buttons because they are only for the international version of the device

is it really worth it? I read that swap memory will reduce the read-write cycle of your sd card. I don't think that it's a good tradeoff in the long run...

Sd card has at least 100 000 writes per sector so even with heavy use of swap it that would be at least 10-15 years (this program swaps process that are not used often and that just use memory for almost nothing) ..your battery would die much much before.And even if it dies you can buy mikro sd card class 10 cheap and make external to be internal.

How can we get this working on the 5.0? I tried the original version of swapper, and I have to say I've never had this little problem with how many programs are running. Usually I close running programs as I stop using them, now I can have facebook, opera, and other memory intensive programs open with almost no slow down in android at all.

the kernel needs to be able to support swap. i don't believe Entropy's kernel does

Do this app works for stock rom/kernel/no root?

Q. about the ram

The device should have 512mb but when im in the task manger i see that there are only 376mb of ram why is it?is it because the rom?because i remember that in the stock rom i got 381mb but now i only have 376mb is the tweaks that i did made that?
Thanks for all the helpers!
I.E
I just saw in the settings that i only have 263 ram(152 used+191 free)so which one is correct?the task manager or the settings menu?
I believe it is like the 8gb of storage and you only get around 5.5gb. Not all the ram is available for use to use, and I think that is for some of the background processes that are running to keep everything stable. I haven't used the stock rom in a while but I know that the max ram you get is 341mb, and yes some of the tweaks you do can increase/decrease ram.

You have 512mb of RAM in total but a certain amount is dedicated to the GPU to render the visuals. ~375 for apps and ~140 for graphics.
You can change how much is dedicated by doing what is called ramhack. But i don't know if its possible on the players. Search before making a new thread about it.

Did you read the settings wrong? Or its just messed up? I think that it meant 263mb of RAM was in use atm. So you would have ~110mb free (or the opposite).

No i read it fine,i upload some pictures so you will see.
Take care that the screen shot app should not be working in normal use so there should be in there 5-7mb more.
Anyway as u can see the task killer show different size of ram and the running apps shiw different size of ram....

ICS v4.0.4 w/ 180+ MB of RAM

YES! this is True 180+ MB Ram, @ the Moment what I have working is the ICS Itself, and thanks to wedgess's Lupus kernel i was able to get the Gamepad Working "Tested on certain Games such as FPSE, Asphalt 7 and Dead Trigger"
@ the Moment im working on Activating the Touchpad based on markpythons Dev. Tutorial. and as soon as im able to make everything Work, I'll convert this Post into a Guide on how to obtain such ICS once im able to get the Touchpad Working.
I'm at the same point as you with .479, i've deleted bloatware and RAM eating programs with 180-200MB of free RAM result. It would be great if you share solution if you find it cause i've spend 2 days of work on it with no results. His ICS touchpad tuto isn't actualized cause in his ROM mark has some play beta files instead of 2.3.4 files.
PS : games are so smooth with 180Mb free !
The official ics have self 160 - 180 MB free ram at all the time!

First, begin to delete RAM-killer apps like facebook (20Mb), Google+ (30Mb), Maps (20Mb), Xplay game laucher isn't necessary and it burns 20Mb on cache only to show and launch games.
After, that's your choice, some apps will be important for you but delete bloatware and Timescape etc, and you'll see, your system will be very responsive.
PS : If you delete game launcher, also delete storefront, it'll be useless and add a 10Mb gain.

neko. on the gingernap miui rom, people are saying apps force close or mass storage not working. I can't seem to reproduce the apps force closing as they work fine for me, and im not near a computer right now so i can't test mass storage.
do you have any idea whats wrong. could one of your various tweaks be causing the rpoblem. the original one based off of cm nightlies doesn't have these problems. could you look into it. I got a lot of work
> its not scripts causing that .on 1.5. Its working. There are only 3 known fc on settings. 1 under cm and 2 on security, what causes this is sort of error while recompiling settings.apk

well themes are stored in sd card.
could it be your sd card not mounting correctly or your sd ext is corrupted?
if theres incompatablility. change your build prop to HTC desire and the incompatabilities should disapear. that isn't this rom's fault. it is for lots of roms.
please don't mention aptoide on xda. you c ould get an infraction
Certain apps like Pandora never show in the google play store,many others like that...I downloaded a build prop editor and changed a few lines I recognized to reflect HTC desire bit there is still incompatibilities...I still get that message of the the device not being supported...I've known the SD card is starting to give out,I've partitioned it to many tines.I gotta get a new one (know of any places I can get a fairly cheap 16-32 gb sdcard,I currently have a 8gb card)...

How to avail max RAM/ROM in android.

How to avail max RAM/ROM in android, I have used GB,ICS,JB with newer versions RAM/ROM increased from 320 MB RAM in GB changed to 381MB RAM in JB, if it can be then why not having a perfect kernel which can unlock maximum ROM/ROM in ICS.

The amount of RAM available depends on the base Android and its system functions. These are hidden to the users.
For example, most JB ROMs have more RAM available, because 720p HD video recording has been disabled.
For RAM, I use Greenify big help for apps like Facebook, Maps and others

i think our kernel doesn't support any sd card swap files. however, i've been succesfully using rohesoft ram expander for some time now. it kinda works if you choose the swap file to be located in cache. but don't expect any wonders, it can improve the performance just a tiny little bit.

then set a reasonable size, swappiness, and select swap active.. it'll take a while to create the file and then you're done
