Guest Paul Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Download updated! Changelog 1.7 - Built with my new MCR build process which reduces size and boost speed of the ROM - Updated Busybox - ROM is now compatible with Droid Explorer - Changed display of SSH password so it is no longer sucked into the user agent - ROM is now fully odex'd - this will shrink your dalvik-cache, improve performance and generally make the world a happier place - Titanium Backup is now in ROM. This can backup / restore your apps AND re-link them back to the market! Enjoy! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest giryan Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks Paul :) Does this have e2fsck in init.rc? I'll give apps2SD another go if it does B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest giryan Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 No, but it has EXT3/4 support! e2fsck coming up in the next release... P I was getting errors even though I had ext4 on mine B) I could suck init.rc off to my PC, edit it, remount RW and then upload it couldn't I? (Not sure I'll be bothered, but I might give it a go once I'm up and running with 1.7 :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hermg Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I assume that as normal when keeping with the same type of ROM (U8230), that I dont have to wipe before applying 1.7 (Am using U8230 1.2 now)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trifid Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks, the 1.7 feels great - fast and with lots of free space. However, I cannot find Titanium Backup as well - never mind it is a simple matter of downloading from the Market. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nikki Locke Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I am having serious problems with my phone lately. Yesterday the root privilege screen that lets you decide whether to give something root privileges stopped working (programs needing root access got a small dialog that flashed up too quickly to read, and then nothing). Then I stopped being able to install applications (installation error). Then the phone rebooted at random when I tried to do things. By the time I had finished trying to fix it, it got into a state where it waited until I had gone to sleep, then started continuously buzzing and giving the notification alert signal. This happened twice before I switched it off altogether. I have tried the following: Repair ext filesystem (it is ext4, BTW). Reinstall upgrade.zip (1.2). Repair ext filesystem. Wipe davlik cache. Full factory reset (Vol up & red) and reload Dec update. Then install recovery image and upgrade.sh, and repair ext filesystem again. Factory reset (in recovery image), repair ext, wipe davlik, wipe ext, repair ext, install upgrade.zip (1.7). I am well beyond the limits of my knowledge, and rather at the end of my tether. Any ideas? P.S. Paul - I thought you were going to fix the bug in init.rc I reported to you (two sections both called init, and no section called dropbear)? Is there an official way to hook into the boot sequence with 1.7 (I want to set my hostname)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Calamity James Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 This is what the phone should have been like out of the box. So much quicker, even with all my apps and data restored it still runs noticeably quicker! Relatively painless too, so glad I took the plunge! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest helikopter Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 thanks fof the rom, paul. i didn't expect such an increase of speed. before upgrading i've never been able to reopen the browser without having to wait to reload the last visited page, but now it stays in memory. as the browser is one of the heaviest app on the phone i think this alone shows what a great improvement you achieved with this rom. congrats, and once again: thanks a lot!
