got it working

@jwh- did you notice improved time in returning to the home screen?

Also, two part aesthetic question... 1.Can wallpapers be made scrollable with the stock launcher
2. Had anyone found a theme that changes the in-call wallpaper, or do i have to do it the ol' fashioned way?

Yea, still can't get the /data part down... And the permissions are still not all setting correctly... I'm looking into it now but so far no luck... Right now it is a just a quick way to enable/disable swap and change swap file size/swappiness

I have noticed a little snappiness :D

So far the stock launcher has not allowed for scrolling. Switching to zeam does lol

If you go settings>personal>custom theme
At the bottom hit customize
You can pick and choose pretty sure the in call wallpaper is there

Does changing the theme change the icons in zeam?
And no to in-call wallpaper in that menu- lock screen, dialer & home screen wallpapers are there but nothing for the in-call screen

I'm pretty sure it won't retain the icons but doesn't hurt to try. They do have an icon changer for root app
If you apply the whole theme with the in call wallpaper you want you could as apply the other stuff
You might try changing dialer too

My personal best!
I think the more I use it the snappier it gets!
 
That's damn good! (if you compensate for the low write speed [+60 to +130] and the i/o [+55])
2327+60+55= 2442!!!!
2327+130+55= 2512!!!!

I was going to try your tactic on reboot with hitting sio

I did find an app called process manager that kills just about everything with one click :D

Using a file explorer with su navigate to data/data/com.Android.providers.telephony/databases

locate telephony.db and delete it
Reboot
Send pic
 
Figured out how to change in call wallpaper :D
Menu> wallpaper> lock screen wallpaper-
Set the wallpaper
Reboot
Enjoy
(lockscreen and in call are changed, milocker can still re-theme just the lockscreen)

This will use/create stl13(internal data partition) or a file on sdcard as swap
And give you options to create different sized swap files
Just install terminal emulator
And use these commands

Instructions

DOWNLOAD AND FLASH ZIP AT TOP OF THIS POST FIRST

First switch user:
SU

then create a swap file on your sdcard or sd-ext partition:

swapfileXX (size 12,24,36,64,96,128 on sdcard fat partition)
extswapXX (size 12,24,36,64,96,128 on data ext partition)



Then set swappiness:

swpXX (XX is swappiness in increments of 10 up to 90) errors in script are normal

swapfile-off (stop swap file in use) errors in script are normal,

clearswapfile (stops swap file and removes all swap files created) errors in script are normal

Swapfile at boot WILLWORK FOR SWAPFILE ON DATA-EXT,

bootswapfileXX (XX is swappiness in increments of 10 up to 90)

bootswapfil-off - removes bootswap

I got some enable swap zips from my intercept. I'll send you link in minute so you can compare installer scripts
 
correction it was an update-script not updater idk if coding use different. looks like 0755 what you want maybe.

update-script:

show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
set_perm 0 0 0755 SYSTEM:etc/init.d/setswapon.sh
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
set_perm 0 0 0755 DATA:swapoff.sh
show_progress 0.1 10




init.d script called swapon.sh

#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 0771 /cache
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
echo 20 >/proc/sys/vm/swappiness


script also pushed swapoff.sh to /data folder.
 
Ok, is there something i am doing wrong or is it just a aosp thing... I can SEND all the Bluetooth files i want... But since the early cm7 builds i have not been able to RECEIVE any file via Bluetooth on ANY prevail i put an cm7 based/flavored ROM on. (idk about cm9 have not had time to try since riflez found a way to get it working)

I can PAIR to anything, and my Bluetooth headset works fine (including music controls etc) but when the file is sent, the sender gets a connection error...
Am i just missing something, or it that just the way things are?
