Holy Finishing Touches Batman, it's Sapphire 1.0

[Thoraldus]

Just wanted to say thanks to the cvpcs team for this amazing ROM. Coming from BB 0.4 and so far this is just silky smooth and problem free.

I do have one question, in BB you could set apps2sd to either be disabled, forced on always, or set to auto for app preference. Is it possible with sapphire to set these things somewhere or is it just auto always? Thanks!

You need to use the terminal program to set variable 'setInstallLocation' to a value of 2. Search this thread for 'setInstallLocation' to find the details.

Thanks, when it is set to 2 does that mean all apps installed from then on will be put on the SDcard or it will only let me move apps already installed? Then set it back to 1 to have it on auto again?

When it is set to 2 it just enables YOU to manually move an app to the sdcard using [SETTINGS]>[APPLICATIONS]>[MANAGE APPLICATIONS]. You probably wouldn't want it to automatically install to the sdcard. There are some apps that shouldn't be installed to SD, animated widget apps for example.

Its just I can't install the need for speed demo because it is so big. I could force it to goto the sdcard with BB where it would fit easily. Its nice to have the option to force it to sdcard if you need it but not a big deal.

I'm running the default kernel that loaded with 1.0.0 - Set to Min 125 Max 1000 - On Demand - I did uninstall SetCPU - Not sure if that has any bearing, but ...

Just checked my battery and it finally dropped to 70% at 25 hours 3 mins. I've been updating apps, moving some to SD and doing other management things for the last 40 minutes. ;-)

So you're just running that...are you running any other programs that use data or prevent data usage (such as juicedefender?)

Got rid of Juice defender a couple weeks ago. No special apps, just Wifi (it has used 17% of the power)

Time since unplug from charger is now 33 hours 55 minutes and battery level is reported at 60%

Edit: Just a note. My local cell tower is just 1/2 mile from me so my 3G connection uses very little power.

Wow...did you find that jd actually worsened your batt life?

Well, you could do the setInstallLocation 2, then move some apps to the sd card to make room for nfs possibly? Just don't move any apps that you would use a widget for, that can cause problems.

I just didn't see any dramatic improvement. I'm a firm believer in the KISS principle.

 

[Thoraldus]

Yes you can. It will show up in Market as 'Purchased' instead of 'Installed'

When this puppy finally gets down to 50% I'll recharge it and reinstall SetCPU and see if the discharge rate changes.

I'd let it run until Android tells you it needs to be plugged in, if you can. I'm curious.

Getting ready to go to bed. It hit 40% at 40 hours 45 minutes. We'll see what it is in the morning.

Good grief, are you even turning the screen on? After 12 hours of minimal use, I was down to about 70% which is pretty good in my book. Seems that the standby battery management is a lot better than past roms.

Yep, I do use Tasker to shut-down things overnight and just wake every 15 minutes for syncing.

See this article ...

OK ... it's still reporting 40% this morning at 50 hours 21 minutes after last unplug from charger. Freaky!

I'm going to put it on the charger and re-install SetCPU now.

does this rom not have the mms.apk that allows black backround and custom color notifications? the rom runs great but the mms isnt like the lithium mods.

See the black bar mod thread, I think joel recently included that.

Issues

I had the phone randomly show the boot animations twice.
Once when I logged in to my account on the setup wizard.
I install the ROM and used SPRecover to mount it on my pc to install the google apps.
My 1st boot had both already installed.

I then couldn't get my account to sync anything but the calendar.
It had some sync error anytime I enabled it.
The market has never synced my apps since I installed it early this morning.
The market said Google Maps wasn't installed so I installed it from the market.
The Market only showed my paid apps and Google Maps under Downloads.

I couldn't find the Droid ringtone.
I found it in the forums somewhere and use root explorer to install it.

It has finally synced my Gmail, browser bookmarks and contacts.
It hasn't synced my Apps though.
I have manually installed the ones I could remember though.

Did you wipe data/cache prior?

Yep did it 3 times.
I also get lagginess(skipping) when recording videos on high.
I run mine at stock speeds though.(550MHz)
I had the same problem with other FRG01 and FRG22 leaks.
If I put it on 800MHz it still does it but less noticeable.
