Will the kernels that were released for the leaked froyo roms work? I see that one person at least is using Chevy's, so I assume so. Anyone having any issues?
the kernels for the leaks have worked so far. Ive used chevys, ive heard of others using P3Droids, so its safe to assume they work.
And sniffle, thats just amazing! This ROM is getting pretty popular!

Thanks, Tank. Chevy's 1ghz lv has made a huge difference on my phone. I'm glad I don't have to part with it. I thin I'll try this rom out tomorrow.

Nearly everything on this ROM is great (wifi included), except for the streaming audio issue. Music sounds great in the music app, but sounds not-so-great in slacker. The audio sounds muffled and tinny. Everything else about the ROM is great.
I am trying to duplicate the issue you talk about but I can't seem to do it...I was just playing some flash video and the sound was pretty good...going to try pandora right now...

Don't try re-signing, just open the APK in winrar and replace the PNGs. Should work fine, except you may have to chmod after replacing it on the phone. I'd also do it while in recovery.

It isn't noticeable over the phone's speaker, but with earphones or in my car stereo. The mids and highs sounded muddy, and the bass lacked any kind of punch. It was a "dusk and day" difference between slacker and the stock music app. Slacker sounds great back in CM 5.0.8.
I am going on a road trip tomorrow...I am going to be using my phone for entertainment all the way so I am going to have to try everything out and see how it sounds...better pack my CD's just in case...

Hey all.
I'm going to answer a few lingering questions I've noticed in my recent runthrough of the forums. I am doing this from my phone so bear with me.
Kernel support:
So far as I know, any kernel should work with this rom as long as it is a 2.6.32 kernel (eclair was .29, froyo is .32). This should include any froyo kernel so far as I know. The only future problem is that in the futue if I use specific kernel features, some kernels may not support them. Those will be specified tho. For now I don't officially support other kernels (because that is just too large of a task for anyone) but I will say that they SHOULD work. When in doubt just backup and install.
Facebook sync:
There have been several possibilities on what the problem could be but I haven't had a chance to test them. Hopefully one of them will work. Options are that facebook is looking for a specific eclair build fingerprint, or has problems interfacing with the contacts app. Ill keep you posted.
Wifi (connectivity):
There was an error in my initial release where a config for wifi was misproperly named. This most likely is the cause of the connectivity problems some people are seeing. Some kernel installs re-write that file, which would explain why some people don't see it. The error has been corrected and I haven't had any connectivity problems since. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
Wifi hotspot:
Koush and I have been discussing the problem and it seems that the way in which wifi hotspot tries to enable tethering is not supported by the droid's wifi driver. We have a few ideas for workarounds and will hopefully get them out soon, but they may require some heavy work.
Themes:
The reason the themes don't work is that many themes overwrite code files as well as resource information in framework-res.apk. My framework-res.apk is not the same as the stock ones as I added things to framework (reboot recovery and whatnot). If a theme attempts to replace that file, then resources will be missing. Your best bet if trying to get a theme to work is to use metamorph, as usually it unpacks and repacks apks (though some themes still try to overwrite framework-res). I will be releasing luna, drop, and smoked glass blue with my next release
Thanks for the support and I hope this answers a lot of the big questions iv been seeing. Glad to see the community supporting sapphire like this, and it makes the months of work and preparation worth it.
