        @liam What is your end goal? Why are you trying to create a swap?

            @liam Sorry, I wouldn't know. I just use my phone as a phone and I've never experienced the need to create a swap.

              Check this post out. Altering partitions in UT has a high chance of bricking the device after an update.

              I have too many devices...

                @MrT10001 thanks your response, I know how to reset the partitions, but what I want that create the swap and increase the memory, I am not sure if can work in UT.

                  @liam Our question is more: what are you hoping you can do with the 'increased' memory ( swap does not actually increase the memory available either, but that is another topic)

                    @liam wouldn't a swapfile in the userdate partition work?

                    May the source be with you

                      @ikoz It would, but it is still not clear what the OP thinks they will be able to accomplish with it.

                        @ikoz I search in internet and find below solution, but not work, even memory fully used, but swap used still is 0, I don't know why.

                        sudo fallocate -l 8G /userdata/swapfile
                        sudo chmod 600 /userdata/swapfile
                        sudo mkswap /userdata/swapfile
                        sudo swapon /userdata/swapfile
                        sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=80
