As we all know, for what ever reason, Samsung decided to release the Tab 3 model tablets with 1 GB of ram. I believe this system needs more ram but unfortunately we cannot upgrade the hardware. What we can do is create virtual memory or a "Swap file" that acts like ram to help our Tab 3's out with multitasking and other memory hogging tasks. Below are the steps to:

1. Create a swap file.
2. Create a script file to run at boot from your /system/etc/init.d directory.
3. Create a android system with 1GB of RAM and 1GB of swap file virtual memory. :D

*Remember whatever device you are using must have a rom with init.d support and be rooted.


STEP 1: TERMINAL COMMANDS PT.1
Download terminal emulator from the play store if you don't already have it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=en

Open terminal emulator and execute these commands in order:

1. "su"
2. "cd /system"
3. "mount -o rw,remount /system"
4. "dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=1024" (be patient, this step takes about a minute)
5. "mkswap swapfile"
6. "chmod 755 swapfile"

STEP 2: INIT.D SWAP FILE TEXT CREATION
Now to create a script to execute at boot every time you boot your phone. I used the app QuickEdit from the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...m.rhmsoft.edit
Now open that up and put the text below in the file:

"mount -o rw,remount /system
swapon /system/swapfile"

Now save that to your sdcard (/sdcard) as "swap" (remember do not save with the .txt)



STEP 3: TERMINAL COMMANDS PT.2
Now go back into terminal and execute these commands:

1. mv /sdcard/swap /system/etc/init.d
2. chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/swap

I kept my previous terminal session open but if you closed it for what ever reason you might have to execute "su" and then "mount -o rw,remount /system" before the two commands in step 3.

STEP 4:
Reboot and win. :laugh::good::laugh::cool:

To verify that the process has worked, after reboot, bring up terminal emulator and type "free". You should see that swap has more than 1,000,000! This will stick after reboot. If for whatever reason you want to get rid of your swap file just delete the "swapfile" file and the "swap" script. Enjoy!

Motherboard Swap Saturn PCB 30-001029 REV06 replace Appolo PCB 30-000675 REV5

Greetings,

I have a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" - 3rd Gen/2013 64gb KFAPWI (Wi-Fi) that does nothing when not pluged in. If I plug it into power (usb) it will flash the black and white KINDLE FIRE logo over and over. My laptop won't recognize it (it has the Android SDK installed with kindle drivers). I found a Saturn PCB 30-001029 REV06 MB and was wondering if it would work?

Thanks

SWAP back and recent apps keys Marshmallow 6.0.1 (need root)

goto your favorite file explorer. i used root explorer. make sure you have root access and goto /system/usr/keylayout and then make sure you have read write access. then click on generic.kl

change line key 158 to APP_SWITCH
change line key 254 to BACK

make sure to save. reboot. back key should now be on left. recent apps on right. you can still hold your recent apps key which is now on the right to get menu in some apps.

and for my next trick... modding s pen to left side of note 4. just kidding. enjoy.
