DO NOT DO THIS if you remove launchdaemons. I have been having problems with my device but after messing with it, the device becomes MAJORLY unstable if you remove one of the daemons and install this (not sure which yet). I have recently put this back on with no daemon editting and my device is working fine :y:. Just a heads up. Don't want you all to go through that garbage like I did.
Requirements:
Jailbreak
Any iDevice
SBSettings
SSH or iFile (anything to unarchive and move files onto the device)
Something to set permissions to files (iFile works, and there is some kind of program but I forget lol)
This file: You must login or register to view this content.
A small amount of time
Download the file and unarchive it (if you are using iFile, open it in iFile and use the unarchiver).
Move the dynamic_pager.plist file into "/System/Library/Launchdaemons" then set the permissions to 755 (read write execute for user, read execute for the other two) and the owner to root, the group should be set to wheel
Now, depending on which one you would like, go into the 256 or 512 folder and grab the com.apple.virtualMemory.plist file (I use 512) and place it in "/Library/Preferences/" or "/var/Preferences/" which is the same place. Set the permissions, owner, and group to the same as the other plist file.
Save and reboot your iDevice.
When it is booted up, pull up SBSettings and select the processes option. Hit "Free Up Memory" and the device WILL lag for 10-20 seconds. It is transferring the RAM over to a new clean file. Once the device is working normally, at the bottom of the SBSettings window, you will see your ram has increased a huge amount. Do this when there is an app that will not run due to a ram deficiency such as the CoD games.
