How to use Swap
For us to be able to use swap file or
swap partition, we need to use
Swapper2 which you can get from
Google Play.

✔ Download and Install Swapper2 (of
course)
✔ After installing, open Swapper2 and
navigate to Menu > Settings

Swapper preferences: (for kernels
that doesn't have swap partition
support)
✔ Run swapper at startup (put a check)
✔ Swap place: /sd card/swapfile.swp
(you can place it in a folder if you don't
like a messy sd card structure )

Swap size:
MIN: 10 MB MAX: 256MB
RECOMMENDED: 32MB (choose any)

Swapiness:
RECOMMENDED: 10MB
SYSTEM DEFAULT: 60MB MAX: 100MB
(choose any)

Safe unmount (put a check)

Safe remount (put a check)

Advanced preferences: (for Kernels
that supports swap partition only)

Use swap partition (put a check)

Swap partition: /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

✔ After setting preferences, press back
and tap on "ON" to turn on swap.
Reboot afterwards

---------------------------------------------------
How can I tell if swap is running?
✔ Go to the terminal emulator - or open
adb shell - and run 'free'.

✔ If it looks like this (with anything other
than zeros in the swap line), you do
have swap:
