iPhoneVM: Add Virtual Memory to your iPhone
[only for jailbroken devices]
There is a new application called iPhoneVM that adds Virtual Memory (a swap file) to your jailbroken iphone.
I don’t know the origin or license of that application, but I have tested it on the 3G and… it works!
I’m running 10 applications right now and I still have 24Mb of free memory (I have backgrounder of course).
The file is rapidly being hosted in several places, try this google search for the deb file
Download the deb to your iphone and install it via command line either from MobileTerminal or via ssh session logged in as root with the command:
dpkg -i iPhoneVM.deb
PS: It’s also available in the beyouriphone repo.
UPDATE: I have experienced a lag, seems like swapping system takes some time…
