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

I apologize if I missed this somewhere. Is there some easy way of making compcache start automatically upon reboot (rather than having to start it from a terminal every time)?

In terminal, gain root access and type "compcache on"

Sorry, misread your question. I'll see if I can find out.

edit: per cvpcs, compcache is an experimental feature at the moment and has to be enabled on every boot. he will be making it persistable in a future release.

No prob....
Thanks for looking into it

Does anyone else's wi-fi signal seem weak? I wanted to ask before filing a bugzilla. Flashed a different from just for the hell of it and signal for wifi seems stronger.

mine seems the same as it always has been

Hmm, I am sitting practically right under my WAP, and my signal indicator is very low. Might just be the WAP too.

This is my first post, so please forgive me for going about this wrong. But has anyone figured out how to get droidwall to work on froyo? I am a PagePlus customer and only 20mb a month to play with.

How about making a file called 90_compcache and dropping it in the /system/etc/init.d directory:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/compcache on

I wanted affirm that this will work for turning compcache on at boot time.

A question to the devs, maybe for the next release, you could look into getting 10 or 5 percent battery increments in the notification bar? That would be awesome.

10% battery is already there. It is found in the GEM settings app under show/hide

That will just show or hide the numbers over the battery icon in the notification bar in 20 percent increments (100, 80, 60, 40 ect.). I'm talking about showing 100, 90, 80, 70 ect. Or better yet 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75 ect.

Edit: I just loaded the ROM without a theme, maybe the 10 percent increments are there, it's showing 70 right now, The theme I had just went from 100 to 80. So, maybe it's the theme. I'd still like to see 5 percents, if possible.

I know, I know. Give someone an inch and they want to take a mile.

To mak a feature request use the link on the op for bug reports and feature requests.

Thanks, I didn't think about Bugzilla. I signed up and made the request.

Se7enLC, you are a genius. Followed your instructions, made sure the permissions matched the other files in system/etc/init.d and rebooted. After reboot ran "compcache stats" and got full statistics for a running 20480 kb disk.

So, cvpcs, the 90_compcache file method appears to be confirmed. thanks for such an awesome ROM. I think my phone (purely subjective) runs smoother with compcache - thank you and P3 Droid for your efforts to get it working!

Just a suggestion, download just the base Rom first then make a backup so you can fall back to a clean install. Then download from this post all the extras.
On version 0.7 there were a few people myself included who could not install the Gapps fix at the same time as the Rom.

Hmm....looks awesome...flashing now through Rom Manager....Thanx guys...you never disappoint

EDIT: downloaded through Rom Manager with black bar, p3s lv 1.2ghz kernel, gapps and market fix...it booted and started to sync but began rebooting...apparently my phone doesnt like the p3lv kernels

People have also had problems not wiping when coming from 0.7.0. Mainly not being able to get passed the green android to sign in. Though people have had more problems with ROM Manager, so I suggest booting into either SPR or clockwork and manually installing that way.

So do you just open a text document and type that code in, name it 90_compcache and remove the file extension. Then place it where he said?

I just don't quite understand what he said.

I also created the file for compcache and see NO adverse affects.

 

[BoddhiC]

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.
