Guest Paul Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 Paul, did you find out why vibrate on shutdown went AWOL? Thaks as always for your excellent work. Not really, the function is still there unless you select the checkbox so far as I can see! :) P

Guest qbus Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 Not really, the function is still there unless you select the checkbox so far as I can see! :) P Hello Paul, I would like to ask you if you are aware of old fashioned way App2SD FAT partition corruption issue and do you have any idea if this is fixable in predictable future?
Guest Diggedy Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 two quick questions. With the underlying changes is it ok to flash straight over the top of r7 and is there any detrimental effects to battery or system performance adding the vpn option?
Guest filidib Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 great release! just one quick question: when will the stable version get released? because i'm on r5, which is super stable and works great, and I wanted to know if I should upgrade to this r7 WIP for the official htc froyo or if it's better to wait for the stable release. thank you! and keep up the great work
Guest 325i Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 +1. Since R8 is out, does this mean R7 is the most stable at the moment? if so, where can i get it from?
Guest Paul Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 Kitchen error should be resolved now, apologies. P

Guest RalphM Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 no juice defender here I'm not sure how I am missing this, but can someone please point me to the link for the r7/r8 MCR? I can only find r5. Thanks so much.

And what is Perflock? thx Paul&Peter&other people for your answers:) Tamir You can Build the latest release in the Kitchen. ( You need to have rooted your phone read the main Deisre forum about the process. ) Perflock is for setting the CPU frquency this allows you to under clock the desire to eak more battery life out of it. If your not sure about OPENVPN the the simple answer is you probabbly dont need it. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVPN Peter Edited August 10, 2010 by pfsykes
Guest TamirDa Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 Hi Peter Thx for your answers i will wait that paul give me answers to 5-7:) Tamir
Guest pd555 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 R7 has been renamed R8 and contains a few bug fixes etc. Those of us waiting for a stable R7/8 prebake will have to wait a bit longer which is fine by me. My R5 is working well for now.
Guest venturerider Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 Sorry, I'm going to ask again: Does the Power Control widget in r8 have the "Automatic" mode in the brightness toggle switch? I though it was a 2.2 feature, but I don't have it in the ROM I'm currently running.
Guest OneCheekyDevil Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 stock android contact app isn't there after i've selected it in the kitchen :) i'm going to try and wipe everything and re-flash it if it fails, i'm going to bed as its past 2am and i need to get up for work in a few hours hopefully it can be resolved before work
