What's Red and Blue, and Makes Android Users Happy? Sapphire and Ruby Double Release!

I did remove it from /data/app and it's still showing up as 'installed' in the market... it seems to not have broken anything.

If anybody is interested, I just realized why mv doesn't work. /System and /data are on separate logical partitions (think two different hard drives). Mv, on a single partition, simply moves the pointer to that file, without moving any file data on the partition. Since the mv would try to move to a partition where the data does not actually exist, it fails. Cp, on the other hand, copies each byte of data to the new location, so the data will exist properly on the /system partition.

Makes total sense now.
 
Loving the new update. Nothing major really, but nothing wrong either :)

Love the new boot animation. can't wait to load ruby onto my brothers inc tomorrow. want to see how the ruby one turned out.

Can you add apps2sd in your next update??

go to terminal, then prefs, then to initial command line.

after it says $PATH, press enter and type in bash, then enter, then su.

go back to terminal, and type in, minus quotes, "pm setInstallLocation 2"
then press enter. nothing is going to happen, but you'll be able to put whatever apps you want on your sd
 
i still cant get sapphire's kernels to connect to my work wifi. i have a colleague with stock froyo on droid 1 that is able to connect to the wifi. if i use chevyno1 kernel i can connect but he doesnt have compcache.

everyone must be using the same tiwlan_drv.ko and fw_wlan1271.bin right? so why is the sapphire kernel not working with my work wifi? how can i get logs to send over?
 
anybody else having trouble getting wallpaper changes to take effect? Seems like everything is working OK, but after the "setting wallpaper" message goes away, it goes back to the normal home screen and standard wallpaper. Doesn't seem to load custom images or the standard wallpapers.

[3] Google Search not updating in the market
(Stealing plaidman's AWESOME post on this one. Thanks!!!)
I answered my own question: GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

So after you do a fresh Sapphire install, if you want the updated Google Search Widget, you can do the following commands on your favorite command line tool (I like ConnectBot). Mind you, these instructions might be a hell of a lot easier with something like RootExplorer, but I'm a cheap ass and I'm comfortable with *nix command lines. Skip this first part if you uninstalled with TitaniumBackup.

su
sysrw
rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
sysro
reboot (dunno if you really need this, but just to be safe)

When the phone comes back, download the new Google Search in the marketplace. Now, unfortunately, the search button will be broken because it's still looking for the old /system/app application, but the new one was installed to /data/app. So we need to open our favorite command line tool again and move the .apk file.

su
sysrw
cp /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
sysro
reboot (again, not sure you need to do this, but it's safe)

And now your search button will work as it used to. Happy searching!

*NOTE: As plaidman points out, and as I did on my own Droid, using Root Explorer makes all this much easier. So stop being cheap and buy it! :p Just kidding. But if you do have this great tool you can skip all the cmd line stuff and use that instead.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

I went ahead and removed the apk, then installed search in the market, which installed (BTW you don't need to reboot after apk removal)

My search button indeed did not bring up the search ....

But a long press still brings up the "Speak now" application for the new voice search !!!!!


So, if you are prone to accidentally pressing the search on occasion, this might be good for you, as you won't have anything happen on a press, but still have a long press to the voice search, if so don't move the file in the last step.
 
LOL! If you fix the search button it'll do regular search on a short press and voice search on a long press. That's how I like it. :)
 
Yeah ... I fixed mine later on, did I just have to move the file, or copy it over, I WAS using root explorer hehehe :)

But think of those who complained they hit it by accident etc. Figured they might like it that way.
 
Just upgraded from 0.8.4 last night. Everything's working awesome (as expected). The only "issue" I have is the support for wave files (aka voicemails on corporate email, pretty important to be able to listen to them when away from one's desk). I checked, and there's already a bug filed for this.
Also, this is just more of an annoyance then anything else (and not any fault of the rom), but does anyone know of a way to remove the icon for Latitude?
 
I'm still finding Pandora audio quality totally unacceptable. The new stagefright still sounds awful compared to 2.1. I tested this back to back in my car with my GF's 2.2 Incredible, and the difference is night and day. Mine sounds like AM radio in comparison with hers. Since it's clear to me now that this is a Motorola problem, and not a 2.2 problem, I'm seriously considering selling this phone and going to HTC.
 
Just wanted to chime in and say this is the best froyo build to date! I was just complaining to a friend that I didn't think any of them were worth the time since BB pre froyo!! Im happy with this! Keep it up!
