Bug Fixes and a Little More What Else Could You Ask For- Sapphire 0.6.2

microsnook....how did you flash sapphire?

CW or SPRecovery?

Did you wipe data/cache before install? or....

did you install over previous version or another ROM?

I used clockwork, did i mess up there?

I think i wiped, but im not sure if the wipe actually worked or not...(RM)

I am coming from BB.3
 
I just tried bgills market fix and it did not work. anyone reading and knows what i can please post something. thanks

What I did when the Market balked on me was to exit Market, go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All ... then clear data/force stop in "Download Manager" and then move down to "Market" and do clear cache, clear data and force stop (if highlighted). That has worked for me on ONE occasion (but not on another). In that second instance I reflashed the rom from within ClockworkMod Recovery, chose wipe data/cache ... and then my Market synced the second time around whereas it wouldn't the first time.

I tried the download manager wipe and cleared market data. No luck with that. As for reflashing...I think I'm gonna wait a little bit and hope they come out with an update.zip to fix lol I just got everything set the way I wanted. Thanks for the help though bro. I appreciate it.
 
Ticker text

Anyone else have a problem getting the Ticker text to stick at #ffffffff using spare parts on the Drop theme? All the other colors work but not that one value for some reason, always reverts.

Otherwise, loving this rom and theme.
 
@ microsnook.

Personally I would reflash sapphire with a clean install. Wipe data/cache......

I know its a pain to reset everything but it really is the best way to ensure that you don't experience any issues.

Sometimes taking a little more time saves you time : )

I guess thats what i should do......
Ill try it again soon i guess

Have you tried the drop theme? mine wont install?
 
Well, it's about that time again for me to take a break from coding to provide another massive post for your reading pleasure! :D

I hope i cover most of the recent questions people have been having.

P3's Kernel (size):
As many of you have noticed, the p3 kernel update is... well... HUGE. 15mb is a very large size for a kernel update. The actual kernel itself is still the standard 2.1mb, but this update provides a TON of new kernel modules that i have requested p3 to include (xfs, ext2/3/4, cifs, nfs, etc). These are the reason for the large size of the kernel update. In the future some of these modules will be used to implement new and exciting features. Currently they do not add any functionality nor do they reduce stability, as they will not be loaded by sapphire at any time.

P3's Kernel (features/sapphire-specifics):
Some have asked how this kernel increases stability, as well as what makes it sapphire-specific. Essentially, P3 has been gracious enough to agree to donate his time and effort to maintain a line of kernels that are tested to work against Sapphire (a.k.a., he is running sapphire when he tests them). The kernel provided was tested by him with sapphire 0.6.2, and in that respect is built to work with this rom specifically. This promotes more stability and in general gives everyone a better experience! He will also be modifying/adding features per request to ensure that we can have the best features we can provide! I look forward to working with him :)

P3's Kernels (Speed):
I know some have asked if a 7x1200LV kernel will be made available, and rest assured it will. P3 is currently working on some more tweaks to the kernel to make it even better. Once he deems it ready, he will provide me with the rest of the releases :)

Black on Black Notifications:
The text-color switching functionality is something that has to be implemented on a per-item basis for many things. It seems that I forgot to implement it in the Music app. I will look into it.

Maps:
I have yet to experience any problems installing Maps, so I am not certain what to tell you :S I would recommend opening a bug on the bug tracker (Bugzilla Main Page), and try to include a logcat from when you are trying to install the app.

I hope that resolves some of the questions that I've seen. :D I want to remind people that if they have a tough problem that they can't seem to get answered and want to be sure that I'll take a look at it, that's what the bug tracker exists for! ^.^
 
just flash this version over the previous version without any hiccups. everything seems to work. wifi works, maps works, market works, tethering works. i didnt wipe anything. i didnt install any kernal yet since everyone seem to be having issue so i'll wait. no theme for me either except mario live wallpaper its works great. :D
 
Well, it's about that time again for me to take a break from coding to provide another massive post for your reading pleasure! :D

Thanks for the great explanation! Can't wait to see what these custom modifications will be bringing us.

One question though, do you think P3 will be able to add the "conservative" governor back into his kernel? I always liked and used that setting.
