Moto Droid 'Sapphire' 1.0 Froyo ROM released

[rudeguy]

Anything specific? I haven't encountered anything that doesn't work. Or anything that is supposed to work but doesn't.

When the nightly builds were the only thing out there, there were lots of things that didn't work. Bluetooth, camcorder, GPS...lots of things.

Now on EVO based ROMs there might still be some things but I know for sure on Dream/Sapphire they work 100%

Started using Sapphire 1 last night. Was about to try ChevyNo1's new 4.6, but decided to skip it.
This Sapphire stuff is nice. I can't think of anything that is buggy or unstable on it.
All the ROM's I've tried, all seem fast for about 2-3 days. Then lag. I'll see how this one does.

My main issue seems to be with screen redraw lag, apparently present under ALL Froyo based ROMs. At its worst, it was CM6 RC2 with ADW Launcher. Switching to Launcher Pro helped, but it was still present. Sapphire is much better so far, but still get it a little when exiting an app that I've been in for a while. Some commented that its related to home screen rotation in Android and the launcher's conflicting, but it didn't have any impact for me.

Currently running Sapphire 1.0 with Chevyno1's ulow 1Ghz kernel.

No screen redraw lag for me. The "update security" for exchange kind of sucks though.

How did you be able to ulow kernel with Sapphire?

How did you be able to ulow kernel with Sapphire?

Download Chevyno1's ultra low voltage 1Ghz kernel, save it to your SD card in the directory of your choice. Use Rom Manager>Install ROM from SD Card, navigate to where you saved the kernel, select OK when prompted. Good idea to back up existing ROM, but you don't need to wipe data or cache. RM will reboot the phone into Recovery and take care of the rest.

I switched back to the stock Sapphire kernels though, Compcache is enabled on them and I find it works quite well to almost eliminate the redraw lag I was getting on every Froyo ROM when switching from an app back to the home screen.
