[Cydia] iMemory Enhancer

iMemory Enhancer adds virtual memory to your jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch. What does this mean to you? Well, it basically gives you more memory. Your applications will launch faster, stay open longer, and perform better. Just look at the screenshot above: 80MB free on an iPhone 3G!

For this to work, you must reboot after installation. You also have to do the “Free Memory” command in SBSettings for it to fully work. Your device may become unresponsive for about 45 seconds during this time. This should be expected, so dont’ panic.

- Enjoy!

    do you have to hit the sbsettings button to free up memory everytime? or just the once to set it up?

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    You only have to do it once per every complete restart.

    It'll also kill your phones flash memory from excessive read/write.

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    Yeah, maybe after like 5 years.

  • Ron T.

    I currently use iPhoneVM 2…. Is this similar/ better?

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    This package is pretty much iPhoneVM 1. iPhoneVM 2 is slightly different. They both basically do the same thing, but in a slightly different way.

  • Russell

    I tried iPhoneVM1 & iPhoneVM2 and neither of them seemed to work except I didn't have SBSettings, I had some other memory tool which I forget the name of. Will SBSettings make that much of a difference, the other memory tool had a free memory option. I guess it can't hurt to try it, right?
    Anyway, do you have the 3GS or 3G?

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    SBSettings is required for this and iPhoneVM to work properly. I have
    a 3G. I heard that this allows over 200MB free memory on the 3GS. You
    should have SBSettings anyway, since it's pretty much a must-have.

  • Russell

    Okay. Thanks for the quick reply. How would you remove it if it doesn't work?

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    Just uninstall the packages from Cydia.

    What OS? It doesn't work on iOS 4 (I think).

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    Then restore.

  • Felix

    it's quite convenient then

  • Felix

    for me
    it's wonderful
    for vm ,it would delay when the memory was near 30mb
    but iMemory Enhancer wont
    appreciate!

  • Felix

    looks like it's working ok in iOS 4. I disabled native multitasking and am just going to use backgrounder which has always been great. I'm getting peak 75mb after Free Memory in sbs. I even took off winterboard to save memory but I might put that back on. I was running Glasklart and that put me down to 10mb free at boot.

    using 3G with iOS 4 jb via pwnagetool and unlocked via ultrasn0w.

  • Gustavocvlho

    tested on iphone 3gs with ios 4.
    rebooted but never got to start the phone normally. used irecovery to bring it back from the dead!

    nice idea though

  • Andrestanza

  • Andrestanza

    but i have a bounch of apps open and i free memory again and its goes up till 72 mg free! my question is it safe to make a lot of time this procedure of free memory with open apps?

  • Notar999

    How can I uninstall iMemory Enhancer completely, so I have my old storage back?

  • Duke

    sbsettings slows down my 3g with 4.0 more than this vm seems to help. When I run MemTool it still displays a maximum of 37MB free whereas sbsettings claims I have 50 or more free. Is sbsettings memory status misleading? Or can it see memory that MemTool can't?

  • Rjgandhi

    I installed it, rebooted used SB Settings to free memory but still dint work (Iphoen3G 3,1,3 ) Any help. I cannot find VN2 on cydia as the respirotry does not work

  • Bokusama

    Seemed to work fine on iTouch2G. But after some days I feel I get more sudden crashes and freezes. Also, sometimes it gets stuck while booting. Will uninstall to see if this was due to this little app…

  • Bokusama

    Damn! Couldn't survive 24 hours without this. Reinstalled just now. I think that it doesn't quite return things to normal after uninstalling. Uninstalled and almost any app would crash and even got a freeze on a low mem app. I recommend caution. This definitively works but not stable enough. Trade-off between more apps and mem VS stability. Probably the only way to fully get rid of it is a restore…

  • Jim

    Can anyone tell me the the meaning of “SBSettings” where the “Free Memory” command should be found. I cannot find it!

  • Jim

    Okay, I just discovered the separate program SBSettings and have installed it. While I have only just installed the iMemory and SBSettings programs, they seem to greatly speed my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0 running on T-Mobile. Reminds me of my old Apple II days.

  • Mark

    I uninstalled sbsettings because I think it slows down my iPod Touch 2g also. I installed a 99 cent app store app, “Free Memory” and it is working with with this. I see > 70 MB free and it makes all the difference for multitasking and just general stability and performance. Huge win.

  • Blueangel94

    Processes, free memory :P

  • Ddonuts4

    I found where the virtual memory is located: /var/vm
    There is a 256 mb file there called swapfile0
    I would not recommend deleting it. You may have to restore. If you are considering restoring anyways, though, then it's worth a try.

  • PejHod

    iPhone 4 support?

  • Dev

    dont install, i installed it, rebooted but its just stuck at reboot screen and the loading icon is running. my computer wont read my phone at all (3gs on 4.0). and it been stuck at this for over an hour. really pissed off
