ya ur right. I probably should've read more about it before i tried it.

But i wasn't rushing though, i was pretty certain i'd get this done successfully. I mean, i did try this as i mentioned in my previous comment earlier:

echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness


and that worked, just that it wasn't permanent. So i thought maybe i'd just set edit the file so it makes a permanent change, and that i also had the backed up file and can restore using terminal through Backup Menu (turned out it didn't work as i expected).

Besides, most people got it working so i wasn't being the first or 2nd to try it, it wasn't like i was a tester and risking it. I thought that if others got it working then it'll be ok for me to do it. After all, i've done overclocking and a bunch of other tweaks such as Optimize N900 (which requires you to add a file to the system folders) successfully.



But ya, lesson learned. I should probably make a post and ask about how safe it is to install and read more replies in that topic next time.
