You don´t need an application to use a swap on your ming. A simple script can do that.

Script to CREATE the swap file.
Save it as createswap.lin
Run once:

#!/bin/bash
# Creates a 16MB swap file on memory card
# by Dedraks
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mmc/mmca1/swap.bin bs=1M count=16
busybox mkswap /mmc/mmca1/swap.bin

Script to ACTIVATE the swap file
Save it as enableswap.lin
Run everytime you need

#!/bin/bash
# Activates the 16MB swap file on memory card
# by Dedraks
swapon /mmc/mmca1/swap.bin

nice scripts, I recommend use only one time create and use only every time you power on your phone.

thanks dedraks

thanks, but when u active swapfile, will some app. installed in TF be disable?

[fcarmona]

No.

adding swap is like use a little part of your micro SD (in the case of this scripts 16MB) to work like memory and nothing more.

All app. should be working as usually

two more question!
1- when you connect to PC via USB (USB willbe in storage mode), all app. installed on TF will be temporarily disable. So what's happen with virtual memory? will MING be freeze???
2- could the maximum swap file size be created? 100MB ??

[m41d3n]

Ok,thanks man!!! Just one question-how can I disable it? Because I have read that mass storage mode doesn't work with it.

Neither this or the swap33 are working here.
The swap isn´t created. I cant see that in explorer (pc or phone) and when i see the transflash properties it´s not enhanced. Can u help me ?

1.- may be, but not, cause no more applications will be started until you leave mass storage mode.
2.- yes, you can set the hole micro sd, but you can't storage anything
