1) Open Root Explorer and navigate into data/app and find com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Copy the .apk to your SD card
3) Open the .apk and navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi
4) Copy the two images you've chosen, overwriting the 'old' PNGs in \drawable-hdpi
5) Exit the .apk and copy it back to /data/app, overwriting the old .apk
You need to be in R/W mode.
Long click the app - Select permissions and do the checkmarks like this (* represents a checkmark)

You can check your writing&reading speed before and after this mode in program SD Tools from market.

You can do this with sd increase if you are rooted

You have to be root to edit files in /sys and /system anyway.

Editing the file is better, than the app cause, theres no APP whos asking for permissions every time you boot, and .. BLA i DONT KNOW, i think its better

You can test all packages, but usually the best id value 2048.

Hmm, SD Increase now has an option to make the change permanent by applying it on every boot.

[MOD] Enable init.d scripts support on stock kernel

Hello!
This is a small mod, inspired by non other than our great DoomLord (so if it helped you, thank him/donate to him/worship him ) and his thread in the X10 section.
I am trying a lot of things on my phone, so I often switch back and forth from stock kernel to DoomKernel.
However, I use lots of init.d scripts (my favorite one being SuperCharger)
and I just don't want to lose this feature when I'm on stock.
So, without further ado, here are the steps that are needed to make init.d scripts run automatically at boot on stock kernel.
Requirements:
1. Stock Kernel
2. Root
3. Busybox
4. CMW Recovery for Stock Kernel by nAa.
5. Root Explorer or any other similar app.
Instructions:
1. Download the attached zip and place it in a folder in your SD card.
2. With Root Explorer, go to /system/etc. Press the Mount RW button on top right corner.
a. If the file install-recovery.sh is not there, then press Menu and create a New File.
Name it install-recovery.sh and then long-press on it and select Open in Text Editor.
Paste this text in it:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# init.d support
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
Save it and delete any .bak file that Root Explorer might have created. Set the permissions as in the attached screenshot.
OR
b. If the file install-recovery.sh is already there, long-press on it and select Open in Text Editor. Paste this text in the end:
Code:
# init.d support
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
In both scenarios, don't forget to leave one empty line at the end of install-recovery.sh file. ***
3. Reboot into Recovery and flash the init.d-autorunner-stock.zip.
4. Reboot your phone and with Root Explorer go to /data/local/tmp.
There should be a txt file there named "init.d_log_test.txt" and once you open it, you should see the word "done".
5. Now you can use your favorite init.d scripts on stock kernel!
If you want to check if the scripts you want to use actually work, please refer to one of my older threads about how to test them.
*** I am not including an install-recovery.sh because this is the file that Link2SD depends on, so it's better if you modify it yourself, rather than use mine.
Let me know if it worked for you!

This is a setup in order for scripts placed in /system/etc/init.d to be executed automatically at boot. Such scripts can do lots of things, like RAM optimisation, CPU scaling, mount options, etc etc etc.

Can the script be added to hw_config.sh? Will it be execute on boot? Inteks' swap2cache script can be added to hw_config.sh too.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. But probably yes.

Great post mate, thanks. (already give you thanks button)

Seeing if this works on ray
I get this file in the init.d folder after.flashing the file
#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
Not in data/ local
I have ran supercharger script and files are appearing in inlit.d folder think it's working
Edit : tested it as per the thread further up it would seem its all working!
Sweet
Hope it is ok I have shared this on the Ray thread? (I have linked back to your thread)
sent from my gorgeus Xperia Ray

Hi iridaki thanks for your little mod here! I just want to give a hint of what might been a little issue but might make your whole mod is not running. You do mention about changing permission on install-recovery.sh, but you gave it as a picture. The Problem is XDA on web these days is not arranging the image as inline, but as an attachment. So i and chiefy009 did the same mistake, not changing the permission because it is just a one line and not clear enough. Please add additional step like:
3. Make sure install-recovery.sh have permissions of rwxr-xr-x

Try the rebootfix before installing the script

Bootloop
Something went wrong and got stuck in bootloop, had to start the whole thing right from the begining(xperifirm-flashtool and so on.)..
Hope the reboot fix works.
Anyone else who have tried this?
Any other methods to follow?

plz give some screenshot :/ for universal int.d

Does this Work on lollipop?
