Root does everything work on GV 1.4 ?

[Usta]

There is a GV 1.5 supposedly coming today or tomorrow. Probably best to wait for that

OMG, I'd better call the developer and tell him to chill out a bit. He is too active with the updates...

Too late - he posted it this afternoon

 

[SUroot]

I don't think it will ever be as bad as defrost or cm nightlies but updates are good

i just flash it over and everything is where it was, the only things i have to change is the market and my circles mod. and maybe the kernel, not updated since ive updated the kernel so im not sure about that.

do you do a full wipe when you update?

 

[SUroot]

yes youll have to reflash the kernel. Kernels come with rom as standard, therefore it is written to /system. when you flash a rom, /system is formated and completely overwritten so 3rd party kernels must be reflashed.

If you're s-off and you use adfree, youll have to update the hosts file too.

anyone updated yet? any noticeable improvements?

Updated about 6 hours ago, but not had chance to really dig deep or exercise everything. Seems to be an "under the hood" release rather than obvious new features. WiFi sleep bug fix may be welcome.

But I've not noticed any problems so far. And at the risk of tempting fate, I've not had WidgetLocker lose all of its widgets after a reboot, though I have only rebooted a couple of times since updating, so there's time for that one to reappear (the theme chooser/WL incompatibility).

 

[Usta]

Why will you have to?

Update? Because I want to have the latest version.

Arrange the homescreens? Because as far as I know, I can't backup my homescreen settings (widgets, apps and their exact location).

dont use adfree so no probs there. cheers Susan, a pleasure as always!

If you dont wipe (which you dont need to when you flash the newest version of the same rom) then everything remains exactly as was, just the rom version changes.

Any apps and settings you make in the rom are saved to the /data partition so if you dont wipe data, nothing needs re-arranging.

 

[Hadron]

Arrange the homescreens? Because as far as I know, I can't backup my homescreen settings (widgets, apps and their exact location).

But if you are just updating you flash over without a wipe, so none of that stuff changes.

Honestly, I've not wiped since I switched permanently (around GV 0.8 I think), and Dan didn't even wipe from DeFroST.

 

[Usta]

Thanks. I'll try the update without a wipe.

WiFi sleep fix is needed. And I thought why does my phone sometimes delay connecting to my home network in GV 1.4.

 

[ducky1979]

and Dan didn't even wipe from DeFroST.

i heard dan doesn't even wipe ever!!! dirty mare!!

have you gone back to Eviollet HAVS AXI CFS or are you testing the new kernel thats part of the rom??

 

[MikeC1408]

LED Notifications are back.

Stuck with the same kernel (well went from 1.2 to 1.3 this time)

If ya'll using Titanium Backup it saves your desktop prefs.

GPS stopped working for me when I moved onto 1.4 so i'm upgrading to 1.5 now in the hope it fixes the problem.

 

[SUroot]
