Hey guys!
Quick update ... been testing and working hard all night last night and this morning ... and I've finally cleared v1.3 for release so it's uploading to our Team dropbox as we speak from my computer and RoyalKnight is going to throw it on his (nice ultra fast) server once it's finished uploading to dropbox!!
A couple extra treats in there for you too
(that was part of the extra few hour delay today ... we snuck some last minute diamonds in there...more on that in a minute)
Start making your nandroids now! Get ready for the best Gingerbread experience available yet for these amazing little devices!!!
OK boys and girls - here's a few advance details on the getting ready to drop any minute release of v1.3
- added in spare parts (by request)
- upgraded to Faux's latest brand spanking new v2.1 Gingerbread kernel
- optimized code so that there shouldn't be any more kernel related issues / AKA the bundled/built-in kernel flashes solid now when you install the ROM
(PROVIDED YOU FOLLOW THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS!! .. we will be updating the OP to reflect the tips I've already shared with you guys before on here ..)
- updated baseline to latest cm7 RC2
- swype is in and 100% functional / no force closes
- zip aligned and optimized all APKs and other important pieces of the ROM
THIS IS THE BIG ONE ..
- optimized code to greatly reduce boot time
my baby is booting up fully in 2 min 15 seconds now !! that's down from over 5 minutes ! that's less than HALF the boot up time (or more than 3 minutes less) AND with no cost to speed/performance/stability. in fact, this v1.3 is FASTER, SLEEKER, LEANER, MEANER, MORE STABLE, and MORE SOLID than ever!!
other misc. notes/observations from heavy testing ... GPS locked solid almost instantly for me the first time after flash. I did go step outside but it's ULTRA cloudy/storming here today so that should have minimized the strength of the satellites. everything is running so darn smooth and speedy. you press a button and there's no waiting...it's just there. i can't say enough about this one .. we've worked REALLY hard on this to make it the best we can for all of you.
if you like what we've done - please show us and HIT THE THANKS BUTTON on any Team Royal member you see in these forums
I've attached a linpack run from last night running v1.3
***** FULL WIPE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED (it's what i do) + READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM OP THAT WILL BE POSTED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE UPDATE and you'll have a super solid beast on your hands ***** (any minute...)
as usual - THANKS A TON FOR YOUR SUPPORT !!
