Just installed. Patched Chevy 5slot 1.2Ghz over it. Running Launcher2 and DroidMod LWP and everything is nice and smooth. Had 3 reboots first, but no problems now. Haven't tried running any of the scripts, nothing there really looks too exciting, except for freeing up RAM. Getting about 160-170ms in short benches consistently, and about 9.5-9.7 MFLOPS. (nearly the same numbers I had in previous versions).
0.8 was not much of an upgrade from 0.7, but .9 is definitely something to check out.

oh I thought you tried it..

looking in the thread on All Droid, it almost sounds like the Smoked Glass will not work, which is not a deal breaker but I did like Koush's 5.0.4.2.

It sounds like 5.0.5 from koush is in the works possibly, so I might just wait for that. the issue I found with Launcher2 was the text label shift in lanscape and the only way to correct it for Portrait was to restart Launcher..

No, said someone had said ..didn't get that in depth on the one where I read it though, my bad. Yeah, thats really been the only thing that has bothered me that I didn't do to myself (jit.) The fix for it really doesn't bother me having to do it every once in a while. I'm pretty stoked about 5.0.5 though.

Been running Launcher2 all day with no issues. Not one FC. The scrolling in the app drawer is a little sluggish, but I'm not sure if that is inherent in that it wants to stick to a certain amount of apps in one screen shot. The DroidMod LWP works really well, and the darker background really compliments the rest of my desktop.
As far as the scripts and/or options he includes; it's all up to you what you want to add or delete. It's really nice that he adds the options.
For the two features alone, 0.9 is a great update from the previous versions. (haven't tried Koush's, but there have been folks on AllDroid that say this is better, perhaps Pete fanboys :p)

Been runnin it all day, had been good all day until this afternoon, using the chevy 1.25 kernel (@ 1.1) from V0.8 and the SG theme from the same. SG worked fine, but the lwps did not, with the exception of the google maps LWP.

Just now I had two FC's in a row on the phone app, never had a FC on bugless beast before, not one until today. A few bugs left here, but they'll be sorted soon.

Would love to post this on alldroid, but I never received their activation email...:mad:

So pete, I know you aren't really obligated to check here, but I hope you do because I didn't see anybody else listing these bugs in the alldroid thread.

And BTW keep up the good work man, you will be receiving your second donation from me later this week brotha!

How stable is the Helix2/Launcher2? I've seen mixed reviews at alldroid.

It worked fine for me. I had it defaulted for like 4-5hrs. I went back to the HelixLauncher though. 3D app tray was still a little laggy for me. And I don't like the entering and leaving animations. It takes too long. And I don't like scrolling on the 3D launcher either. I like the 2.0 launcher, its nice and quick, gets the job done.


Just in case anyone else is dumb like me. Here's how you get the scripts to run.
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
chmod 777 /system/xbin/enablescripts
enablescripts
if it says
Enabled All Scripts

then you're good to go.

to do stuff like change LWP
1. download the file
2. rename it to "LiveWallpapers.apk" (Just delete the color words)
3. move to /sdcard (root of SD card)
4. run the corresponding script in the Terminal Emulator

To enable the lwp do you just enable all scripts or do you have to specifically enable the lwp that you downloaded?

Sorry I didn't read all posts, but for those of you that are having a hard time with scripts use this:
u (enter)
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system (enter)
chmod 777 /system/xbin/enablescripts (enter)
enablescripts (enter)
(the script) example: rmcorpcal (enter)

I haven't tried it with a reboot, but if you exit then go back into term. emulator after the above, just type:
su (enter)
(the script) example: rmcorpcal (enter)

and you should be all set. They work.
