for the love of god, NO, and its not mtd5 either, if you would have tried that then you would have permanently bricked your device in a state that even re-flash couldn't rescue.

So maybe I'll give a bit better hints before people start bricking their devices, its mtd4("var"), so the patch would look like this:

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8rS81vUX

(And remember to resign refhashlist with right sha1, or you malf your device)

wait a second, it will be
Code:
ramz=64 * 1024
instead of 256 * 1024...though or?
anyhow, i still do think that it would be very nice to have rescueOS somewhere :D

Re: additional swap file
 
In the first post is written "this is only for super advanced users and no one is responsible if you damage anything with this, it's also only for those who don't connect phone to mass storage very often."; I think this happens because the swap was created in the MyDocs folder.. But is it possible to create the swap in the /home/user folder? I know that who has nitdroid has only about 800MB of free space (like me) but is an option, and who hasn't nitdroid has more free space to use.

Re: additional swap file
 
If you create your swap in userfs partition you are going to straight away limit the space for application data hence do it in mmc partition...

Re: additional swap file
 
Just a Noob question:
Isnt the fasterN9 app (which works very good for me) disabling the swap funcion of the n9 (dont realy know that exatly swap is). So if disabling swap maces the n9 better -> wouldnt a additional swap mace it worse?

Im sure that i have a logic mistake so pls help me to find it.

I don't remember reading about fastern9 disabling swap...

Anyway by default swap is only at 256mb which is not that much...What wook has done here is create a swap of 2x of RAM so it makes things snappier and makes swap more effective...

Re: additional swap file
 
Just out of curiosity, what is the /home/user/.signon/signonfs-mnt partition, (it's about 6.8MB)?

FasterN9 does not touch swap.

By the way, N900 has swap in a flash device enabled by default and I don't think it caused problems for anyone.
So the idea here is to use both the ram swap and the flash swap, right? Does it make the phone really faster?

Dropcache erases the cache and there's no cache in swap (in ramswap or flash), so not possible to erase it.
