{Tutorial}Increase the Smoothness Of Live Wallpapers

[HellRocker©]

Things Required:

- root privileges

- a terminal emulator

- live wallpapers

- GScript

what you have to do is:

- download GScript from market (lite or paid version, works with both)

- launch it, then press Menu/Add script

- give it a name, be sure to check 'Needs SU', then type this in the text field below

renice -15 `pgrep android.process.acore'

where android.process.acore is the LauncherPro process name. If you're using another launcher you have to do a google search and find its

process name

- now save, and try executing it and see if it works

- add a shortcut to GScript on your home which launches the script. With this approach you have to launch it after every reboot

Maybe you want to try to renice the live wallpaper too (this may slow it down, I would not suggest to do it). To do this

- launch the terminal

- write 'ps' then press enter

- will appear a list of processes. here you should find one that has a name similar to the LWP you're using (for example, I'm using Pixel Zombies Infection and the process name is haydenTheAndroid.liveWallpaper.pixelZombies)

now you can renice it either from terminal or from GScript.

To renice from terminal:

- check the number *** which the process has in the PID row. You have to remember this number

- write 'su' then press enter. now you have root privileges

- write 'renice N ***' where N is the nice number you want (20=minimum priority ; -20=maximum priority, which you obviously don't want). You can set it to 20 to give the LWP the minimum priority

To renice from GScript go in the script you already created and add a similar line, by substituting "-15" with "20" and the process name with your LWP's process name.

You should now see an increased smoothness when scrolling homescreens and app drawer
