Two Releases Two Days, Froyo Anyone? - Sapphire 0.6.0

[andarre]

Please fix facebook sync issue. It's the only problem I have with this rom and unfortunately it is a deal-breaker for me even though I love how snappy and smooth this rom is. Please!

Confirmed Sniffle, this is NOT a ROM issue... I just did another backup, full wipe and reinstall of your ROM, all is well, Nav works, however WiFi Hotspot still does not, was that an intended error?

What is the best WiFi Tether app?

 

[MrMaddog]

Can you guys take a look at wifi? There something messed up with it.

Sometimes it won't scan.
Sometimes it won't connect.
sometimes it works fine.
Sometimes when wifi connects, the tether icon is there, sometimes not.
All the time that it is not connected, it shows wifi tether icon - even though it is disabled.

Wifi tether can't be enabled. It gives "error".

I get the exact same WiFi behavior with the exception that I've never seen it connect (with this rom). The standalone wifi tether app works, but that's it for WiFi.

Everything else seems to work fine. I prefer the p3droid sv kernels. Quadrant with the 250-1250 p3 kernel gives 1388.

the facebook sync will be added back on the next release, the wifi tether still has some work to be done to be functional.

as a potential facebook fix until the next release
uninstall the facebook from the market, take the facebook.apk from the frf57 leak and push it to /system/app/(name of apk)

I gave this a try and was very impressed. Great work and I look forward to more, it is truly wonderful to have another developer building from source.

Anyone else's battery seem to die really fast, or is it just my imagination?

I'm gonna fully charge and see how it goes from there.

Installed your Rom everything was great until I performed a reboot. My phone went into a boot loop. I am using the supplied kernel. I just did a reinstall without wipe and its doing the same thing. I will try a wipe with a fresh install again and see what happens.

 

[bhughesiii]

I wiped everything about 4 times when i installed. Flashed an older clockwork recovery, went into partitions menu and went down the line formatting everything 4 times except for sdcard. Install was great, app downloads great, maps/nav great and battery is good so far although I have been tinkering so much with it that I really don't have anything to judge by yet.

Ok.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... for the life of me I cannot get this to download... when I hit the download button it opens up a blank page and it just sits there...when I go back to the download page it says download starting but it never starts...I'm using chrome and I also tried it with firefox...no luck

 

[Tanknspank]

Are you downloading it from your phone or computer? If one try the other.

Are you downloading it from your phone or computer? If one try the other.

OK, I backed up my installation, wiped data and cache twice and installed Sapphire 0.6.0 fresh using Clockwork recovery.

1) Installation went smoothly.
2) First boot was about the same as with previous ROM wipe and install. I didn't time it, though.
3) I need to use Wifi to sign in to Google for the first time since there is no cell service here. The first attempt to switch to wifi crashes the startup program but it recovers perfectly. This happens for me with all the other Froyo ROMs, too.
4) Second attempt to log in goes smoothly and phone starts...

5) Everything works. Apps (slowly) update themselves and I updated manually those that did not. Google Maps updates smoothly.

In short, this was as painless as updating from 2.0 to 2.1. And for me far less painful than the past week of wrestling with the non-source Froyo ROM's. That's not the fault of the excellent devs working on them: its that the wireless hacked into the leaked ROM didn't work well for me. Sapphire 0.6.0 "Just Works(tm)" in my experience.

The only issues I have are the known ones:

- Stock Wifi Hotspot app is screwy.
- No Facebook sync.

My quadrant score right after all the apps updating was finished was 1102. Note that this is before running SetCPU.

I then killed all apps and ran it again for a score of 1164.

I then enabled SetCPU for the first time, set it to full speed (1gHz with the stock kernel) and the OnDemand profile: quad score of 1249.

With the Performance profile in SetCPU the quad score was 1272.

As a last test I rebuilt my usual desktop in the stock launcher: Beautiful Smaller Home, Power Control, 3 S2 calendars (2x1), 2x3 agenda widget, a 1x3 sticky note, and Medium (3) music player. With SetCPU back to OnDemand my quadrant score was 1240. And that's probably about what it would be under normal use.

I'm really pleased with it. It performs well, installation was smooth. Other than the wifi hotspot icon hanging out in the notification bar it works flawlessly for me. (I don't rely on Facebook Sync.)

Amazingly few issues for a spanking new Froyo build, IMO....again, great job cvpcs looking forward to your future efforts
