Greta ROM

Rom works great and looks amazing but the face unlock feature don't work. The camera works but when you try to set up face unlock the image doesn't show. Is this fixable? otherwise this if perfect for me.

Great work

It's in systemui.apk. How to add them I do not know. But you can us a systemui.apk from a ROM that has it and recompile against YOUR framework.

Yes we knew for a while that Netflix didn't work on this ROM. Finless has done some extensive testing on this, and actually found a solution (I think)...but SK has not had a chance to update yet.

Stay tuned.

I think I have found the solution! When SK is ready I will tell him what to mod.

I have fixed all 3 of my Tabs except one with this mod. I am working on documenting the fix now.

Rom works fine however the netflix app wont let me push anything but I can scroll the titles weird (maybe because of no screen calibration on boot??) , back to cm10

I'm happy to give that a try however one simple question - what do I need to do?

It's a module which needs to be compiled first, probably you will need Snakekiller to do it

An highly debated solution to increase memory is zRam (Compcache)

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache

This solution it does not really increase performance, but it might reduce the chance an app gets loaded from the disk every time you need it.

When the system is running out of memory Compcache will first try to compress some, before killing the app. Theoretically it should decrease the chance an app gets killed, therefore making it faster when you re-open it a 2nd time.

Not everybody agrees it's a real benefit. Often it requires some fine tuning of the swappiness parameters to be really effective.

If you normally run a couple of apps (let's say gmail and browser), and you are short of memory just by a little so that it's impossible to keep both of them in RAM, you should see a huge benefit from Compcache.

On the other side, if you run many apps which anyway will force the system to start killing old apps very often, with Compcache you make the situation worse.

1) the 9G2 only has 512Mb so it struggles with ICS anyway - are there any additional tweaks that could be made to improve performance?

Snakekiller would then need to make a new CWM recovery from the original recovery. I have given him instructions how to do this in the dev thread. Ask for help if you need snaky
hint. The mount errors or due to recovery.fstab and how the parameter files are organized for you ROM.

A few suggestions for performance

I've been playing with the ROM and although it seems to be a bit smoother than the stock ICS ROM there are a few things which might need looking at

1) the 9G2 only has 512Mb so it struggles with ICS anyway - are there any additional tweaks that could be made to improve performance?
2) the preinstalled "awesome beats audio" and "speaker boost" take up valuable resource so you may want to consider removing them (I found some performance increase when I removed them via system tuner pro)
3) i'm wondering if the stock launcher would use less resource than Apex - previously I have found this to be the case in 4.0.3

I'll keep playing
