I’ve installed and paid for it but have since removed it. I knew it was too good to be true.

For some reason my maps is no longer working along with others i talk to on Twitter.

Please any advice BigBoss?

Thank you again!

Actually the Map issues was happening to a lot of people who didn’t have the vroom tweak installed. Wonder what could of caused the issue..

ya serioiusly look up “VM on iphone” or “iphone virtual memory mod”. its exactly the same as what bigboss is saying. it IS what he is saying. and it is using flashmemory more often. that drains ur battery faster! and yupp it installs 2 plist files associated with apples dynamic pager. that has nothing do do with ur battery boot/die percentage. its all false and stolen. i hope this gets removed and people that bought this are refunded. its like paying for some tools mod of pwnage tool or blackra1n. get a refund

what i want to understand is how u talk bad about it and claim its false when u have not even tried the tweak…. BB try the tweak then speak…

Yes, I have tried the tweak. Further, the VM mod you stole has been around for over a year. I have used it then as well. I am quite familiar with it. The only difference with your mod is you made outlandish claims and charged people.

awesome! thanks for making a fake tweak ibnyaffa you have ripped off sooo many with this!!!

And thats why this is a must visit site for any jailbreaker! Thanks for the heads up BB.

Correct. Any repeated writing and rewriting of flash will diminish its longevity, as flash is only capable of 100,000 rewrites before you start to see it ware. Keep it only if you’re not worried about your iDevice dying prematurely, or plan on getting a new phone soon. According to wiki, “Most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand around 100,000 write-erase-cycles, before the wear begins to deteriorate the integrity of the storage.”

You installed that package with no false pretenses. That package is the exact same as this one. The only difference is that package only claims to enable page file, is free, and did not claim to improve battery, speed, etc.

There is no such thing as “the damage is done” in this. Continual disk writes are always a risk, but you can stop it at any time.

I seriously doubt that any of those profits went to Haiti. I’m sure that as someone said before me, he’s probably a penny short of two items on the Dollar Menu at McDonald’s.

You don’t know either, it’s a thousand times more likely he’s lying and you fell for his trap. How about you just make a normal two dollar donation to a legitimate charity for Haiti?

@eflamenco:
You state: “hes done plenty of other work other than this one and never charges for it”
I ask: why charge for this one if he hasn’t charged before??? You are saying in an earlier post that he tweaked a tweak… Wow… back in the day when I started out in computing they didn’t call it “tweaking”, they simply called it “renaming”…

Thank you BigBoss for exposing this app as a fake and informing users with the facts. I support your decision to ban the (quasi) Dev from this site and am supremely disappointed in his behavior. Unfortunately, I regretfully admit to being “had” by his outlandish description of this “too good to be true” application. He should be banished from this entire community forever.

I’ve tried the disk swap hack in the past and I can confirm that it appeared that I had more memory. The phone was just as stable, the battery life did lower drastically, and apps would still crash on occasion — translation: it’s a waste of time.

Sorry, but I don’t see how this dev would have access to $150k. And if he did, why would he accept donations for his work or even bother selling something thru Cydia?

This “excuse” does not excuse his theft or false description. He resold something which was already available for free elsewhere (e.g. he had no intellectual property claim for this), and he was distributing code which he had no legal right to do such.

Guys, why are you saying that he stole something to mod it a bit and sell after?

This jailbreak world dudes, everything is ripped off and moded to create something else.

How! How come you say that the file was apples own? The iPhones FW is apples own too!
And there we are making custom FW…

I mean, stop being so Ingenous.
And think for a sec!

Now, don’t tell me… Ah ok ok everything ok but, why is he selling it? Guys, that was for Haiti. You don’t believe it? You can’t believe it. Fine, go and check his new threat at macciti… Now, if you don’t want to believe. well, I wish you luck in your life… Cuz, a person whit a closed mind like many of you here… Do not go far in life.

Now, I font understand why “bigboss” is being so rude with ibnyaffa.
Many people say that it is because you (“bigboss”) want to be the owner of this tweak and have full credits.

Seriously, I can’t say anything. I don’t know.

This TwEEK and I say tweek cause that’s all he’s claimed it is from the begining all of us at Macciti have known about this for sometime now and he has Always said it been out there he just made it better! I also am on a 2g which is y I have it if I was on 3gs or 3g probably wouldn’t need as others have said and really u plan on haveing ur phone fir ur entire life hell no as soon as a new 1 comes out you will all b running to get another so why not use it to it fullest potential? It’s a freaking phone for gods sake! Ur more likely to crack the screen or drop it in the toilet B4 the freaking thing dies! And I’ll tell you this this man Is genuine! All the money is going to haiti! No doubt in my mind I’ve damn near talk to this person everyday for help and to chat and he has NEVER ever asked 4 anything and I was also there when he went to Haiti to help and was almost hurt from the crap that going on so judge if u must but have any of you done anything like that! I doubt it! I haven’t!!

1) He stole a file that was already on your iphone, renamed it, distributed it, and sold it. He stole a plist provided a year ago for free in vm memory projects, and sold that. He did not do any original work. If this were all for free, and described properly, I would never have spoken up. But instead he was taking money from people for things that were either already free or available on your device already. Unacceptable.

2) Jailbreak community is generally very careful not to steal anything in order to keep Apple off our backs. All the jailbreaks do not redistribute any Apple code. So “everything is ripped off” is really not true at all.

3) The file he redistributed is on everyone’s iPhone already in /sbin/dynamic_pager. You can find it with ifile or ssh. (As a note to yaffa, he did at least repack his latest deb and removed the stolen file. That much is good).

4) If a person lies about 10 things, I cant believe that the 11th thing is true. Maybe yaffa didnt lie but really believed the stuff he said about the battery. I don’t really know. But if he is a developer of a product, I expect him to accurately know what the product does. It is common knowledge that the memory paging trick, which has been around for a year, increases memory by using a paging file. This is commonly known that you are sacrificing speed (performance) and battery for gaining the ability to run multiple apps. If Yaffa accurately described the tweak and gave it out for free, I would have no issues.

Hi BigBoss, first of all I want to thank you for all your hard work. I wasn’t one of those to try this tweak but I’ve been using a deamon that I think may do the same thing, just didn’t have to pay for it. This is the deamon:
com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
Could you please tell me if this works just like Vroom and has the same consequences, I’m new to all this and I’m still trying to learn. Thank you so much for your help, keep up the great work you do for all of us jailbreakers. Have a great day, rock on.

I don’t understand how people can defend this guy when he blatantly copied and renamed a file that he didn’t create and passed it off as his own, as evidenced by the identical MD5 sums on both files. Regardless of how much money he may or may not have donated to Haiti, he still ripped many decent people off and there’s no fucking way anybody with a brain can defend an act like that. Tbh I expected this thing to be a scam from the start what with all the blathering about “i donate to haiti gais so u no i’m legit bro n i’m ttly well known so buy my app 4 haiti!!” lol.

Pagefiles are not anything new… It has been around since a way to store information was developed. Anyone that claims to be a developer would know exactly what a pagefile is. Again it is nothing new and never will be anything else. And it’s rather obvious if one stops to think about it for just seconds that there would never be any battery gain or speed gain by its use.

More “virtual” ram is “nice” when your system is really bogged down and out of date, but never is it like istalling a turbo on your car. More like putting glass packs on your car to make it look and sound better, but no actuall improvement are made.

Walking in the presence of gnatis here. Cool thinking all around!
