V7.1 issues and other questions

First I want to say thanks for this ROM and all the hard work it takes into putting it all together, it's becoming one of my favorite roms.

Hey guys, was using the last V6 release with no issues but I saw 7.1 dropped and decided to kick the Tires. I'm having the BT issue, it scans but does not find anything. I also found perhaps some other issues but maybe I'm missing something.

1. BT issues as mentioned above..it just scans

2. When clicking on anything in the Ctool / Mixtab / init.d setting does not stick. For example I can choose options like Zipalign on boot but after checking it and then going out of that tool like to home it never sticks so a reboot does not having anything different.

3. I've noticed that settings has frozen on me or crashed a few times. Most notable when I'm checking on things under performance like to enable the cpu settings at boot...some times clicking on this will freeze the settings panel then it will unfreeze after say 20-30ish seconds or it will crash and you have to go open settings all over again.

4. Computer does not recognize the phone anymore, it did on V6 but not 7.1

These are just some thoughts or opinions and it's possible they exist in this rom but I've not found it yet and would appreciate the help from others that have used the rom longer and know there way around.

# CPU options and governors & schedulers

I think it would be awesome if I had more control over the these settings. This is probably the one thing I like the best about SKOP roms is they allow you so much control and ability to tweak just about ever aspect of the kernel, I/O, Ram and Media settings. Like adjusting the Virtual Machine options. I wish I had more control over this in C-Rom. However It would at least be nice to have the ability to choose the Governor and Scheduler by there specific names such as SmartAssV2 instead of performance or energy saving mode. I like the ability to choose a simple mode or canned option but for a adventurous or power user it would be nice to be able to choose also by the specific names. I like SmartAssV2 and sio ...so perhaps a sub tab to this section would be nice to go in there and be more granular and specific.

# Entrophy Seeder

I've tried a few roms with these and they do seem to help speed things up but can drain the batter if they are not coded to not seed when there is no need for the performance..like the phone is in your pocket idle. SKOP have one built in but I've used crossbreader and operation kill joy scripts here on xda before to. Crossbreader seemed to speed the UI up the most but it's been retired for a few months now. Kill Joy seems to really teak the android system over all and battery life seems to be better but perhaps it's because the seeder does not generate entropy just to do it but only when needed.

# Swap internal storage for external

I've done this before on a old JB rom but for the life of me I can't remember the exact file but I had to modify a file in /etc/fstab I think that made the external SD card the internal storage for the phone so that all pictures, video recording etc that usually goes there can be put on the SD card. This allows you to throw in a large card like 64 or 128G in there and never worry too much about shooting some video or taking pictures or voice recording a long school lecture. It be nice if this was a feature button in the teaks so we don't have to hack files...but anyways does anybody remember the file to edit to do this and what we change the value to?

# Developers options to not turn off the display while charging, lol :) I can't find this option or the normal place it is in "Dev Options"

# SMS breathing, I'm wanting to try this as I've heard it's pretty cool but I can't find the option.

# Send a quick txt to caller, I'm really looking for this setting. I'd like to send a canned text from the ring when a call is coming in and then send that call to VM. I saw it on a mui rom. If I'm in a meeting and a call comes in I can press the ring and choose from a message...like "in a meeting, call back when i'm out. Does this rom have this?

* Found it in the dialer under settings.

# I really wish quite hours had more flexibility. I't be nice if you could choose a schedule/s on one particular date like a calendar event or one day or a string of days...like alarm clock pro. Is there anything you guys use to replace quite hours that can recommend that from the play store for free or cheap.

Thanks for the new ROM devs!
