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 More "virtual" ram is "nice" when your system is really bogged down and out of date, but never is it like istalling a turbo on your car.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.

But if there needs to be a character defense on someone in the jailbreak community, it's for Ibnyaffa. He's a good man, and has been very selfless. It seems all of this could potentially have stemmed from a misunderstanding: if I were to find that plist and see that the RAM is high and remains high - I, too, will assume better battery and performance. Ibnyaffa probably found this (unaware of its previous existence) and thought this would be a good way to raise money for Haiti. This guy has been living and breathing Haiti since the disaster - so THAT part is legit. Seriously, cut the guy some slack. If anything, he's guilty of not fully understanding the tweak. BigBoss is right to bring awareness to this; and if I was him I'd probably be just as outraged and lash out in a similar fashion. If someone was ripping off the good people of the jailbreak community, burn him at the stake! But he isn't trying to rip people off - this isn't that case. I'm amazed that Ibnyaffa hasn't entirely LEFT the community. BigBoss, I've worked with you before and you've been tremendously helpful to the jailbreak community and a level guy. But so is Ibnyaffa - he's helpful and a level guy as well. So, in closing, give the man the little slap on the wrist - fix the issue, and let's move on. No more mudslinging, no more trash talking. Kumbaya, people... KUM... BAY... YA!!!! =P I’m not gonna pretend that I know everything about this tweak, nor will I pretend that I fully understand everything you guys are saying against it.

He’s a good man, and has been very selfless. It seems all of this could potentially have stemmed from a misunderstanding: if I were to find that plist and see that the RAM is high and remains high – I, too, will assume better battery and performance.

Ibnyaffa probably found this (unaware of its previous existence) and thought this would be a good way to raise money for Haiti. This guy has been living and breathing Haiti since the disaster – so THAT part is legit.

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.

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. Hi BigBoss, first of all I want to thank you for all your hard work.

As technical gurus like yourselves, do you think you can develop a software/app that help regain the orginal performance of the CPU? Not a 412MHz, castrated ARM CPU? If that's doable,please send me an email and I'd like to be the first one to PAY for a software like that. Thanks. Hi, BigBoss,

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. 1) He stole a file that was already on your iphone, renamed it, distributed it, and sold it.
