Wanna thank the users running 0.7 this week. With your help, i found some odds and ends to fix up and as a result, the community can enjoy the latest build today.


Uploading 0.8 later today
-changes-
Fixed odds and ends
Video lag fix?
Hardware fix?
Infrastructure tethering?
Build.prop fix
Mms update (il need feedback on this app, if it doesnt work to your needs, download go sms for now.
Finalized Android settings
Scripts available to the user can be found in the changelog

The next build will probably be final. Il be working on the Bionx scripts and themes.
 
In the notification bar, what is the "G" with the circle. There is another one for 3g so that's not it. Or?

Installing 8 now...

Woh! Lovin' it.

The G is just your signal strength, an alternative for the bars.


I've been running 0.8 for about an hour or so and here's what I've noticed thus far:

For the wifi tether, infrastructure works but on the old wifi tether, not the new "mifi" one.
The text messaging app looks good except for the recieved messages; the text is white and the background is very light making it almost unreadable.
After that, it's basically perfect, feels alot faster and smoother than the previous build. I'd thank you but i cant find the thank button anymore o.0. Thanks for all the work, man!
 
I promised rgocal the first thing I would do was test video streaming. It's perfect over both wifi and 3G, through YouTube and Quickpic. Whatever you fixed, fixed it.

As for my impressions of the mms app. Well, actually, they're pretty much exactly this:

Tethering: I really don't use it at all, so ad-hoc vs. infrastructure is honestly a lot of gibberish to me.

I've also decided that I'm willing to rethink my stance on Dolphin Browser (that it was nice, but not quite what I was looking for).
 
Looks like i have alot less things to worry about from here on out ^.^

Thanks for the feedback guys. Next update will be final, may take awhile since themes will be my focus and patching up the little things.

360 tasker says a program update is available. Would updating this app. leave the translations intact?
Click to expand...


Im afraid not. If you know jiberish...by all means. Il keep everyone posted on that if it updates. The 360 launcher however, if it notifies a update. It will be english however last time i tried updating it, the apk needed signed first so idk whats up with that. There is also a 360 android market available. Sorta easy to navigate but again in jiberish. Hoping the devs translate everything. At some point but il keep everyone posted on updates on those packages if you use them. Ik adw and go launcher do work awesome on bionix so switching over doesnt hurt my feelings ^_^ just when a rom is built, it needs some sort of base to build on.

If you're looking for something different from the typical Android launcher style, Hi Launcher also works really really well on Bionix. It'll be weird to get used to, but I can see it being a pretty strong contender for my main launcher, if I can just figure out how I want to organize it.
 
Ok, so I have a problem with the choice to make the camera button a secondary power button. I understand that, as an actual camera button, it doesn't play well with the modded camera app. However, I keep my phone in my pocket most of the time, including when I'm sitting in confined lecture hall chairs at school. This is causing the camera button to be pressed down a lot, which has a pretty serious impact on battery life, as it wakes the display every time it happens. I just wanna know, is it safe for me to change this function on my own? I was thinking of maybe using this app to switch it to something that doesn't cause the display to wake.

I hesitated to say...everything seems to work so well, and it seems so minor. This would be my only complaint as well. I like the back option, but maybe the power option could be disabled?
 
Interesting bug here. I decided to reboot, as the phone seemed to be running a little slower than usual. When it finished rebooting, I got the unclean shutdown notification and a couple apps disappeared from my homescreens.

I use ext2, and this ROM is saying it's either too busy to make the necessary mount scripts. :/ How can I make it work?

Idk why thats acting like that? I dont use link2d anymore anyways since the option is built into froyo now.

Il probably integrate that button chooser app into the settings. Because this is gna have to be a user choice to change since i experience these problems on my razr and not really something i can change on choice.
So my goal will be able to integrate that button changer in preferences settings.

Sorry to bug you but I really need to be able to disable the camera button power switch as it has caused numerous call drops.

Yeah, this is also a problem for me. Is there anyway to change it manually from the device itself without blowing it up or something? Lol
