Review - Sapphire 1.1.0

Note: I will not be reviewing Sapphire 1.1.1. The only difference is an updated Camera.apk.

Installation and Setup
My apps did not sync, but I prefer to use Titanium Backup anyway so this was a non-issue for me. It booted up very fast and I was set up and good to go within an hour of flashing. I went with the 1100 Sapphire kernel and flashed thebowers
 
Only as Koush updates the download locations and the scripts are set up for the correct installation procedure....

I guess I just mean that I wish that once it showed up IN ROM Manager, it would actually install from there. Maybe it's just sapphire releases that have problems, but I seem to always have to install them by manually downloading the zips and going into recovery. No big deal.

Doing my backup and such manually made me realize that I was almost out of space on my SD card (!), so it wasn't a total waste of time.

Need a theme for this? Well, I have been wanting the blue-glass theme from 0.8.4 since they stopped supporting it. I learned how to port it and add into an update.zip, so I thought I would share it here. I take no credit for the theme, just for the port. I also take no responsibility for what happens. However, its working just fine for me. Download below, apply as a ROM (or any other theme). Rename to update.zip if you are using sprecovery.

Blue Glass - No Fonts (Sapphire 1.1)

Enjoy! :D:D:D

Edit: I just realized rapidshare will only allow this to be downloaded 10 times. If someone would be kind enough to upload/host it somewhere else, I'm sure others would be grateful. Thanks.

Edit: I also ported this to sapphire 1.1.1, if anyone wants it please send me a PM.
