A real question: juiceme always warned against wear of flash device, and not using mtd4/5 "too extensively". But this mtd4 swap tweak is a flash killer tweak. So how does this match?
And btw I do not see the need/gain for more swap.

I think you are aware right that of the 1GB RAM on-device, only 768MB is allocated as RAM and the rest is allocated as swap.

Mtd4 allows the full 1GB to be allocated as RAM with ~420MB for swap. Even if you don't feel you need more swap I'm sure you would prefer more RAM right? In that case of course you can disable the creation of swap on ramzswap However I prefer having the full gig for RAM and swap active too hence I personally prefer the mtd4 approach for swap

As for being a flash-killer well its been proven that both the mtd4 and mtd5 are unreliable partitions and are faulty on many devices hence why they have been left unused so if they currently work might as well use them for something meaningful and frankly i don't think they would wear off that quick (maybe a year or two?)

There seems to be a pattern emerging but I think I need still more data to say anything for sure.

Now there are at least 2 people with 16G/rev.1603 devices that will complain about charging when booting to Harmattan.

Hi,

I followed the step by step directions on the README file and everything has worked as it should. But i have a question regarding the step 4. My N9 has Nitdroid installed as described in their own tutorial, it works without a problem, so i assume i have a plain open mode and everything else is stock/default. I didn't quite understand what should be configured in the boot.conf file, where should i copy new modules nor what "depmod -a <name>" would do. My question is, given my actual configuration should i modify this file in any way? or can i just leave the default values and go on?

Thanks for your help,

Me

Sensible advice, i'll keep sillyboot then. However, i guess i should clear the partition where ubiboot is now copied. How do i do that? it is not included in the uninstallation procedure.

It is!
Just look for ubimkvol. This will clear your mtd4, but it is not needed at all (you could also go for ubirmvol, but this is not tested/advised).
