Here ya go. Just extract the swap.bin from the RAR archive.

If you're having swap you can't use the phone as USB drive am I right?

[Treikens]

is that true about USBLAN? and also Is that swap really 128mb? and all I do is put it in the root of my SD?

Edit: I put the file on the root of my SD and dound that it didnot operate any faster I hope Idid something wrong? does it need to be installed or something?

One simply disables the swap if they want to connect to USB. To enable write a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
start-stop-daemon -S -c root -x /sbin/swapon /mmc/mmca1/swap.bin

and then to disable:

#!/bin/bash
start-stop-daemon -S -c root -x /sbin/swapoff /mmc/mmca1/swap.bin


one should note the location of the swap file; in the root of the SD. And yes that is a 128mb swap, it's what i use. But I must say that it is a bit excessive. It's not truly needed. But hey I just have it just because lol.

Oh okay let me see if I understand


#!/bin/bash
start-stop-daemon -S -c root -x /sbin/swapon /NAME OF SD CARD/FOLDER ON SD CARD/swap.bin

like that? also what program do I type this in and what format do I save it in and what name do I give it?

[imahottguy]

yes and no...

#!/bin/bash
start-stop-daemon -S -c root -x /sbin/swapon /mmc/mmca1/IF IN A FOLDER PUT IT HERE/swap.bin

the SD card is identified as /mmc/mmca1/ in the phone. Also, no spaces in the folder name if you put the swap.bin in a folder.

usb doesnt get disabled for me, just gota leave it plugged in for like 5 min b4 it shows up

[Treikens]

yes and no...

#!/bin/bash
start-stop-daemon -S -c root -x /sbin/swapon /mmc/mmca1/IF IN A FOLDER PUT IT HERE/swap.bin

okay so do I type this in notepad and save it?

[imahottguy]

no, notepad ++ will work though. it needs to be saved as a UNIX type file not DOS.
