Root The Beast 7.9 is out!!!

Yankee, you have to now click on the link on the first page for the update log.

It's too bad the live wallpapers aren't interactive - but they're still pretty sweet.

Of course I knew that, I just was..er..testing you. Yeah, lol. Thanks though.

Hmm...my build in my About Phone says Bugless Beast 7.8. I was prompted to check that when the change log said you can only OC to 1.1ghz and I'm still on 1.2. Said it was 7.9 in the headline...

EDIT: Yeah..I'm an idiot. Need to clearly read and not skim.

live wallpapers are only interactive if you have launcher, without that no interactive wallpapers but launcher doesn't work properly, some bugs that makes it not be worth it for me.

wow I didn't know about that, thanks for telling I'm going to try it since launcher it's full of bugs :-D

Make sure you empty all the home screens of everything before you install. There were a few people that complained of it being laggy. I removed everything before I installed it and it has run perfect for me.

the only thing GDE can't do is the Screen change animation like cube with an Animated wallpaper for some reason.:thinking:

Thank god for the Update.zip he includes! lol I JUST installed 7.6 it seems like. I have more Nandroid backups because he rolls stuff out so fast. I'm not complaining...I'm happy to have quick updates...I just can't keep up! :D He builds these faster than I can install them lol
Since most nandroid back ups take up alot of space, cant you delete the old ones, or some of the old ones And keep say the last 3?or is that a bad thing, i have been deleting some of mine.

just tried that and now it's giving me errors. facebook almost always has some type of problem.

Sorry to hear that. It seems like every time I install a new rom I have to log out and then log back in and it works. By the way, I just went from 7.4 to 7.9 and I am loving this so far! I was overclocked to 800 but decided to take the plunge and go to 1000 and so far BEAUTIFUL! I love the live wallpapers.

I am with UBRocked - I had just upgraded to 0.7.6....

Ahhh, well, according to his tweet, do 0.7.7 or 0.7.8 and then use his update...

Okay so I had just upgraded to 7.6 and after trying 7.8, then updating to 7.9...I am back at 7.6 for a few reasons.

1) I was running at 1.2...and it's gone

2) Custom theme lost...don't want to do it again cause it wasn't easy...had to move files, use multiple themes, etc.

3) Facebook doesn't work...went back to 7.6 and my facebook app is working propertly...

4) I was running at 1.2...and it's gone (I know I already said that but damn...I liked 1.2) :D
