Seb's site is back online but a bit slow at the moment

They are still not sure whats going on ,but they have done something...

I notice a few other sites are down/slow today... github being noticeable problematic...

either its the first day back at work blues for everyone, or the start of apocalypse 1 year early....

[Guest That-Guy]

Just a little feedback about this ROM....

It is very fast and slick compared to the 2.1 Stock version. I have had no crashes or lock ups which is great.

Only problem I have had is with the Alarm Clock, it goes off fine but the screen does not come on so I have to turn the screen on before I can turn off the alarm.

Anyone experiencing this?

Apocalypse early :unsure:

Great film that 2012, don't think it's true though do you?

Ah, what you have done there is mixed up your iPhone and your Blade....

Steve says it will work tomorrow... yeah he said that today too, but well.... never mind!

Erm not following this at all so will just agree :unsure:

California... or "Arizona Bay" as it will be called...

Its amazing how people just don't care or notice the earth tremors that happen, or the fact they are living between a potential Super Volcano (Yellowstone) and the large number of undersea volcanoes off the coast...

Still the weather is nice.

Edit /system/build.prop with ADB... loads of "How Tos" around.

I tend to pull, edit, remount, push. 2 minutes.

debug.sf.hw=1

dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m

But not HW accel.

Use ADB

I'm not a fan of HW accel - pointless on these "phones" and have yet to quantify or be convinced of the TRUE pros and cons - I'm more concerned about the crappy WiFi and the case/switches/connectors falling apart after a few weeks... yer pays yer money....

OK i found the best way with root explore build prep edit than save then restart. THx for help..

[Guest Rotmann]

You want to leave stagefright http disabled or you'll have problems with youtube HQ vids among other things. I really don't think you'll notice much difference overall in usage, those tweaks seem to game quadrant more than anything else!

thank you Rotmann so much for such a detailed instruction!

I have just corrected my guide, jt_mcg is right, with stagefright.http set on true HQ Youtube videos get a funny colored bar at the top, changing it to false and restarting did solve the problem.

+1 for this. Just installed and it is the only thing that I can't seem to find!

[Guest jt_mcg]

Using a theme for JJRLS 3+ in Frankish's new themes thread allows WiFi tethering on this ROM (at least it did for me on r0.2). I still don't seem to see it in the menu's but the Wifi tethering toggle on switch pro and maybe other power control widgets like widgetsoid can turn it on. It then shows in the notification area and you can get to it and configure it from there.

Back up first, pick a theme you like and install as instructed by Frankish, reboot and it's should work as I've described!

Its also in tethering and portable hotspot which is in the wireless and network settings!

Any ideas why it only works after a theme has been applied?

The fix was found by modifying files in framework-res.apk by kallt_kaffe on his JJ ROM, frankish then updated his themes with the fix.

I'm on r0.2 and I don't seem to have that in my wireless and network settings dialogue. I'm presuming settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk have been updated to reflect that in r0.3 but not the changes in (resources.arc?) in framework-res.apk

[Guest Ian1]

Hi,

Is anybody else having a problem with the keyboard?

The first problem is I don’t see any word prediction / completion even though the options are enabled.

Secondly it will not give me the option to select an alternate keyboard. When I long press the text entry box it gives me the option to select an input method but the only option I get is to select the standard Android keyboard. I have tried using TouchPal and the Gingerbread APK from the JJR4 ROM.

Ideally I would love to see the Gingerbread keyboard as standard because it is head and shoulders above any other I’ve tried.

Hi I've just installed this as my first ROM without problems :unsure: - thanks to Seb and others for their work!

However I'm missing the VPN dialog from settings, although com.android.server.vpn.apk is in /system/app.

Is this related to the above settings.apk/settingsprovider.apk issue?
