Features, and Bug-Fixes, and Themes, OH MY! Sapphire - 0.8.4

[Tanknspank]

Tanknspank - yes, you have it right. Create a plain text file, I copied and pasted the text from Se7enLC's post into it, saved it and removed the txt extension. I then copied it to my SD card and used root explorer to move it to system/etc/init.d (you will need to change the folder to read/write first by clicking the button at the top of root explorer). I then changed the permissions to user/group/others read and execute, noone write, to match the other files in the folder with root explorer and rebooted.
I'm sure it could be done with terminal, but I'm not sure what the numeric code for the permission change using chmod would be. Hope this helps.

Thanks.

I have root explorer so I'll just use that. I'm terrible with remembering commands.

speaking of compcache and I don't know if this linked in anyway because I'm not totally familiar with the mechanics behind it, but I enabled it last night. Took it off the charger at 11:30pm woke up this morning at 7am and battery was still at 100% (not on the battery but in About phone)

Never have I seen this. It's now 10:00am and I've made a couple calls and texts and sitting at 90%.

Sleep settings are 600/500 and 1000/600 for normal operation.

I have always dropped 10% overnite.

What I want to know ck is why you run such high mins? I see you with higher than normal min frequencies a lot.

Excuse my ignorance, but, can someone explain what compcache is/does? Or point me to where I missed the description? Thanks!!

I don't like to run low clock speeds. I see no benefit.

I usually run it at 550 but w/ the "stock" kernel that slot is not available.

So the min is not really high it's standard unless 50mhz over regular clock is considered high.

Is the stock google clock always at 550?

I just always see people using 125 or 250 Mhz for their mins so when it's idle, it has a lower speed to go to, thus saving battery. I mean, I run 400/250(or 125) for when my screens off and 1000/250(125) for when the screens on. Plus my Battery and Temp profiles, i get some pretty good battery life

I never run hotter than 105 under load....great battery, very responsive.

Doesn't seem like anything really changed for me in this upgrade except it totally took away my market??

You got to apply the Gapps, and if you check the changelog you would see that a lot has changed since 0.7.0.

I was just wondering CK, lol.

Only problem with 125 on sleep is that when the phone rings, for some the lag in the call screen coming up is atrocious. Even 250 can be laggy (but apparently there's no slot in for that in stock kernel). I use 400 and I have great battery life.

Just flashed 0.8.4, p3's 1.2 Ghz kernal and gapps, Market autorestored my apps after reboot. Used Titanium to restore missing apps, rebooted and lost root! Superuser app is still in app tray but not root apps will work.

Posted on IRC but no one is answering.

Help

Edit: don't know what happened but root is back, all is well

For some odd reason I get the same after applying 928droid black glass theme. Three times now, all after wipe aand full rebuild.

The themes that haven't been ported will break root or that's been my experience. If they are listed as 0.8.4 Sapphire then chances are they will break root once installed.

I've followed these instruction a couple of time nows and after a reboot, "compcache stats" reports "compcache does not appear to be enabled." I can get compcache to work fine from the cli.

Anyone else getting this error?
