You sir are the best! Much appreciated (:! What are your plans for the next rom (:?

My wish list is pretty short right now... I think this ROM is getting where I want to see it. I would like to work on setting some defaults for the next release so it comes loaded more like I like it, holo launcher for example should have boat browser on the dock by default, little things like that that people have to do manually when they first load the ROM, things that annoy me to no end knowing it's not set up all the way.

Other than that, I am investigating overclocking a bit but that's out of my league... shin has a kernel with oc, but it causes issues with wifi and bluetooth... another developer claims to have it working without the issues, but I haven't got it tested out yet.

At the end of the day, pretty much everything I have wanted to see in this ROM has come to fruition since release 1, thanks to the great devs around here and other great ROMS, I am not ashamed to say that even though I have worked very hard on this ROM, I am not a true dev and have only pulled from other people's work.
 
I can honestly say that you have come a long way your rom is the only rom that i havent had any problems with its smooth and does what i want its simply a wonderful rom and i thank you for providing it to us making our warps run before than befofe :) i heard about the oc kernal but we wont be hearing from it any time soon since the post was locked lol i hope they work something out because that kernal would expand this rom further! And you learned from the other devs so dont think your copying you simply just got an idea and help that you can ise for your rom creations ill be looking forward to your work mr bobo!

Thank you :)

on the overclock, I had asked that dev if I could use it, he said yes but when I downloaded his ROM the kernel did not allow overclocking... the person was either trolling our forum or screwed up and didn't upload the overclocked version.

Anyhews, we will just have to sit tight until someone else can take on the overclocking or until shin can fix the issues with his kernel.

I am really hoping someone can get a cm9 or ICS/JB kernel together and get those projects... from what I hear we are close on cm7 but I haven't seen it to play with it yet.
 
Taking advantage of new kernel:
New kernel in this room have swap support, so I was testing "Swapper 2", free from market. If I put the swap file on sdcard then phone lags sometimes, but I put it on
/cache/swapfile.swp
(using all other setting by default) and my phone runs very well.
Update: reboot phone after setup "Wwapper 2" recommended.

I'm not a dev, but read this rom have a kernel with swap support, so searched market (gplay) for an app able to setup sawp and found "swapper 2" (tested others too but didn't work).
I think "swapper 2" is like a GUI for swap, so that app can create and handle swap file automatically, you only should change default place to internal store, because normally is faster than sdcard so avoid lags.

My English is not very good, I tried to explain "swapper 2" basics but maybe failed, sorry.
 
I like that its slim and not to heavily tweaked. Going to the extream with tweaks is fun but stability is where its at for me. And simplicity! Thanks for a great from!
 
I Hit the thanks Mr.bobo great job on this
Hey check out the build prop I am using with your rom,lol
very nice I might add.(super_phone).

can anyone else confirm this? the volume control has extra steps now (finer control) so you need to hit up a lot more times than you used to to turn the volume all the way up... I am not sure what would make the volume lower than normal though other than it just being physically turned down.

I personally don't have this issue, anyone else?

The in-call volume does seem kinda low. Also when I wake up my phone my home screen blanks out then all the icons pop up.

I tried your method of putting the swap file under the cache folder.
It wouldn't take.
 
Well it should say that, then hit on or create swap. It is a pain to get setup but works perfectly afterwards. I recommend 64mb with swappiness set to 60 or 100. File name should be /data/swapfile.swp
 
This rom looks amazing.

Im getting my warp soon and i can't wait to try it otu.

Just one question: Do i have to root it once i install the rom or is the rom rooted already or what?
