What happened to the 'LPM'/Glance Screen on Sailfish OS 2.0? Is this feature still working if you activate(d) it via terminal?

I wonder *how bad* loop mount performance is for swap?
Haven't read much of this thread (sorry, busy
As long as it's still moving fast enough to take remedial action and free up some RAM...
Swap on flash is a BAD IDEA and it WILL kill your flash.

And i grasped how the unlock fade works.
If the glance screen is activated and you doubletap while the clock is shown, the clock just changes color and the lockscren comes faded in its background.
If you unlock without the glance screen shown, from blank screen, the clock fades in last after the lockscreen has already completely faded in.
That is rather inconvenient and needs to be adjusted to have consistant behaviour and clock shown fast.

It's not clear to me why swapping would be a more dangerous activity, since it's mostly sequential, low persistence requirements, and most importantly... it happens rarely, less frequently than all the above combined.
And besides, Jolla already has a swap partition. I'm just considering removing any hardcoded limits to it.

ETA - screw it, put it on an SD card. Yes, it'll be eye-wateringly slow, but it'll (presumably) stop the automatic program closures, and if you manage to fry it you can put a new one in...

My single biggest issue is the size of the clock when peeking. "1.0" used to show lockscreen clock which was huge and could be seen easily, now the text is really small and hard to read with a layer on top of it
