It could simply mean that your swap is filled up with data from the RAM...

If that output was what you got after a reboot then we would need to dig deeper into the cause otherwise I think its normal...

Sounds awesome! Now i have to wait for a method that sounds less dangerous

It isn't dangerous actually...Just do the dd command and if you are in open mode copy the script over and you are set...

- I dont have open mode (so the script just works with open mode?)
- this is only for super advanced users sounds dangerous
- only for advanced users!!! - see above

it's also only for those who don't connect phone "to" mass storage very often -> is a part i didnt understand. Im using my N9 "as" a mass storage sometimes (connecting to my pc). I dont see the context between using this tweak and the mass storage part
it would be very stupid to use the tweak without even understanding the whole warning.

The swap file is created in the mmc partition which if you connect as mass storage has to be unmounted on the n9 and mounted onto your PC...If you do this frequently you have to frequently mount+unmount your swap which would render it ineffective...If you do this without switching off swap first you might not the mmc mounted or you might get swap having problems...That's the relation!


Anyway, I think Schturman will incorporate this in his N9QTweak app so maybe you can use it from there in the future

Ok thx. 1 last question
the mount unmount you speak about:
it doesnt "wear and tear" the hardware right (used google translater here)?
so if the additional swap gets ineffective by mounting frequently it would recover its efficiency by time through swapping if i stop using it as a mass storage.

I hope my question is clear.

I have Open Mode kernel (because I have nitdroid installed), what packages are needed for command mkswap and swapon/swapoff?

PS: during installation of sudo package, this one show me an error (I attached it) and when I do sudo su show me unable to change to sudoers gid: Operation not permitted.

PS2: setswap0 and rmswap0 attached in the first post are txt files; should I rename them before chmod command, isn't it?

No no you don't need any packages... All these are system commands...

also if you read what you downloaded you would know they are bash scripts so you either leave them without any file extension or rename them to .sh
