Watching the video is all well and good, but you really should take Harfainx's advice and follow the step-by-step installation instructions as written on the links he provided.

Strange, it works just fine on mine.

I wonder if they even have a clue as to why their business is down and they have to close some stores.

I don't know of a good battery app, but I do have a some tips:

1) don't click on those ads

2) you can turn the wifi off and still use most apps such as Angry Birds

I assume you've tried all the usual methods (copy as root to sdcard, edit, copy back as root), adb pull/edit/push, or edit with vi as root in a terminal? That's strange, because I was able to edit it (added a comment) with vi. Are you using Chulri's +rw root? I couldn't edit it with the swap partit...

I added a new swap partition keeping the resized app partition intact, but now I find I'm not allowed to edit or change permissions on /usr/bin/swap_ctl.sh Also, I wasn't sure if the swap partition should be logical or primary. I chose logical, which may or may not be correct. Back to the drawing bo...

I have implemented Harfainx's [GUIDE] Change app space with stock ROM (it's awesome, by the way), and now I'm thinking with the limited ram on the Gen8, why wouldn't a similar procedure work for increasing the size of the swap partition?
