How to make your device faster. Dynamic_pager &amp; VirtualMemor

[center]Use at your own risk![/center]
[center]What does Dynamic_Pager do?[/center]
- Dynamic_Pager gives your device the ability to use Flash
Memory as Random Access Memory (RAM, to an extent).
[center]Are there any side effects to this?[/center]
- Its a fact that Flash Memory has a limited number of
read/write cycles. The difference between Flash Memory and RAM
is that Flash Memory has a lot less cycles available. Since RAM
is written to a lot more frequently than Flash, and your Flash
is being used as RAM, then using Virtual Memory will in theory
reduce the life of your device.
- Virtual Memory was introduced to iOS a little more than a year
ago, yet there hasn't been a single case of a device actually
not working anymore due to using it. People usually say "VM
broke my device, I had to restore to fix it", fact is if it
really did kill your Flash memory, you wouldn't even be able to
turn it on. Its said that the LCD would probably burn out or the
battery would die before Flash memory would die on your device.
If you have read the above and wish to continue then follow
these steps.
1) Download files
Dynamic_pager

(HTM) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28585230/Overcook%20the%20Rom%20Baby%21%20IOS4/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
VirtualMemory
(HTM) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28585230/Overcook%20the%20Rom%20Baby%21%20IOS4/com.apple.virtualMemory.plist
(HTM) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28585230/Overcook%20the%20Rom%20Baby%21%20IOS4/com.apple.virtualMemory.plist
2) SSH into your device and install the files in the location
given below.
com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
put it in: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.virtualMemory.plist
put it in: /private/var/preferences/
Then just restart your idevice.
The files create a number of Swap file in the existing VM folder
(/private/var/vm). It is worth deleting these when your device
starts to show signs of lag.

BOTH of these files need to have their permissions set to 755
or it might become unstable... i found this out when it happened
to me...

Risky. This does indeed give a little more space for RAM but it
makes your device slower because it is handling a new daemon.
All this does is let you have more RAM to give more memory to a
running application. THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOUR DEVICE FASTER!!
(maybe gameplay)

yeah i know. but not to much slower unless you are using a lot
of it... and considering i took out a lot of daemons im sure the
ipod can handle one daemon if a lot have been taken off
already... :)
and for the risk factor... it only becomes risky when you are
running to manny apps... btw here is a page that will give you
the option of 256 mb or 512mb personaly i would go with the
256mb...

The VM uses SBSettings to enable virtual memory by clicking the
free ram button. I'm pretty sure you need SBSettings for this.
