Can you post a screenshot of what it is your doing?

I found out how to change the date and time color from white to blue... every tut I found on the web didn't apply to our warps... apparently ours is arranged differently...

Well basically even though android is supposed to manage memory by putting lower priority apps into the back ground, then kill them when more memory is needed. I think when zte built it. The code was poorly written. My reboots I've had in the past I've tracked down to low memory, and also the lags and freezes. What I don't understand is why swap is an option if it didn't do anything, like the swapon and swapoff commands in busybox. I've read a multitude of threads talking about this, yes it would be available when the physical ram is depleted, I think that it would make it more stable. Maybe I just need to try to build it myself and give it some tests. I just don't know if I can pull it off. I built a kernel before, but was I couldn't figure out the repacking the boot.img, and as far as menconfig, I couldn't find anything for swap. Would there be adverse effects to enabling that in the kernel you build shin? I'm sorry to ask, I just can't seem to get it myself
 
Now, like I said, its just a theory , and I'm open to be proven wrong, but I would like to test this to find out what the actual results are

Yea, all our date/time stuff is in SystemUI.apk. Time is in status_bar.xml and date is in status_bar_expanded.xml both of which are in the layout folder inside res.

Nope... lol... that was the problem... while the layout for the clock and date are located in the systemui... the colors for them are located in the framework-res.apk in values/styles/... I spent all day trying to figure that out...

I thought of something just now...for fix permissions errors when you have to fix in cwm...if you did that, then did an adb pull and pulled the system folder...would it still have that error?

I was wondering would porting the zte fury rom to the warp and use it as a base for custom roms fix most of the issues with the warp since the warp's stock rom is so poorly coded? I remember awhile back hroark released a system dump of the fury so somebody could port it. Here's the link to the thread.

Could try to port it but the resolution of that phone is literally half of what ours is

you can change the dpi in the build.prop

Changing the dpi makes almost all apps incompatible according to the market... I changed the dpi on my rom from 240 to 220 and it gave people problems...

I know I'm talking about changing the stock dpi of the zte fury which is 160 to 240 which is the standard dpi of the warp.
 
I wanted to see if the fury rom works on the warp, so I used hroark's return to stock updater script with the non oc kernel and it booted!:D But there are some issues wifi & bluetooth doesn't work and there is a issue when I try to make a call. I dont have a way to upload it though.
 
More on swap:

From the prevail thread:

Koumajutsu said:
OK, so for those that don't know Virtual Memory/Swap is like adding in more RAM for the processor to use. You can get away with running larger programs or work with bigger files typically for a slight performance hit.

What I've done so far is got swap support in the kernel and added a setting in koumamod.apk to adjust the "Swappiness" setting, which is a number from 0 to 100 representing how often the system will move things in and out of the swap ram.
Linux defaults to 60 for this, Android defaults to 0 (because there isn't any swap by default and Android likes to kill processes that aren't active if memory gets low)

I've been using a partition on my sdcard for swap so far. It caused my phone to be a hair slower at times, but barely noticeable. However, I was able to open a flash game on facebook in Dolphin HD and it didn't lock my phone up like usual :D

I'll give the storage that is usually /data a try and see how it does. The nice thing about the swap system is you can use a bunch of swap partitions/files at once and assign them each a priority.

It seems like there is a lot of interest in this, so I'll roll out KoumaKernel 2.5 tomorrow, and work on adding more features to the koumamod menu.

BTW, the koumamod menu is not CTMod exclusive, only the version that hides it's icon from the app drawer is. :D I think I put a version for all other mods that use KoumaKernel in the KoumaKernel thread

I have a booting copy of the N850 source as well, be sure to adjust the hardware rotation otherwise the screen will appear upside down.

EDIT: The RIL has to be ported before phone calls will work.
 
Well I build a .7 kernel with swap enabled but I didn't flash any modules, I don't know which ones might be needed
 
Maybe if I can get tapatalk to find it.so much easier than the damn web browser
