1.1.1 Sapphire Release and an Anoucement

[Bateluer]

I would recommend trying a different kernel first. As always, make a nandroid backup first, and then try a lower speed kernel to see if the stability improves. Just out of curiosity, did you wipe the cache when you flashed to 1.1.1?

Yes, I always do a full data and cache wipe when switching builds. I've had good luck with ChevyNo1's kernels, but I don't think they support Compcache? Jdlfg's kernels were decent, but I ran into wifi problems with those. On previous builds, without compache, I run into horrible screen redraw lag. Has this been addressed between 1.0 and 1.1.1?

I always use compcache so I'm not sure if there's a lag with it turned off. I'm using the standard 125-800 lv kernel and not having any issues at all. It's been rock solid. Maybe give that one a try and see if stability improves and then try to work on increasing the speed.

Flashed Sapphire 1.1.1 two days ago, using the latest 1Ghz LV kernel on the newer official site. At first, I was impressed, but now, I've experienced more spontaneous reboots in the last 48hrs than I have in the past 8 months. Seems to be more frequent when the GPS is turned on. I'll start Nav, turn on GPS, the phone will pause, and then reboot. Other times, I'll have GPS on and never start Nav, only to have the phone reboot when I slide it open to respond to an incoming text or email. Its also rebooted with GPS off, a text/email will arrive, I'll slide open the keyboard, the screen won't turn on and then the phone reboots.

Never had this problem with 1.0, didn't have a chance to flash 1.1, and did a fully data&cache wipe before moving to 1.1.1. Any ideas? Or should I just roll back to 1.0?

1. Backup whatever. wipe data and cache once normally
2. In recovery, go to partition menu format wipe boot and system.
3. Back to home menu, .
4. Install rom

I turned Comcache off since it slowed things down after a while requiring a reboot. I came across a way to eliminate the slow redraw by forcing Android to keep the launcher in memory. It works!

Make sure the file entry is exactly as described in the OP with no funny characters mentioned in another post this thread:

LauncherPro Forum • View topic - Fixed Launcher Pro lag when returning to home screen

LauncherPro settings I use with this mod are:

Keep in Memory - unchecked

Memory usage preset - Medium

Home screen cache type - Normal

Build caches as needed - checked

Clear Caches on Exit - unchecked

Prevent force-closes - checked

Very nice! Thanks for sharing that. It works well?

Works very well so far. The slow redraw was real annoying after using the camera. No more slow redraw after doing the mod. You can still see it redraw but it's really fast!

I am running Sapphire 1.1.1 and LauncherPro Plus v0.7.8.1 and I uninstalled the stock launcher using TB.

Click here: http://www.google.com/search?q=ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 shows many hits about the mod that fixes slow redraw.

I keep meaning to look into LP as it has some features I find useful. If I get some time I may go tweaking and see if I can emulate your success. Thanks!

The mod works for slow redraws when using ADW as well.

Great find!

Great find!

Yes, thank you! I am so glad to get rid of the slow redraws!!! :icon_ banana::icon_ banana::icon_ banana:

And interestingly I get even better battery life... no doubt because the launcher is not reloading back into executable memory all the time.

Sweet! I just did it and now lets see how it works for me. Thank you very much for the great find! You the man! dancedroid

 

[Tanknspank]

I went to try it out, only to find out it was already there..

odd..

 

[SamuriHL]

I did it to mine, as well. It does indeed seem to help, so, definitely thanks for posting that!

I didn't have a local.prop file in /data, so I just created one... rebooting now... we'll see how this works.
