I've tried the many suggestions with swap enable on a 4GB USB key and it still freezes, I made sure swap was available and usable with the "free" command but it locks up before then, I have yet to test with LE.

So yeah apparently there is a lockup issue. I haven't seen this happen in practice, and the device shuts itself down or something on idle so it gives me a fresh system every time I use it which is probably why I haven't seen it.

Thanks for testing, LE is much better on my MXQ and the freezing is way less frequent now and does not lock up as it did with OE on the thumbnail view.

yes, swap on an USB key didnt do anything for me either, only SDcard works.
