I had a heck of a time uploading this time - not sure why.

The major changes:

  1. Reverted Galaxy Tab 7" kernel to CM.
  2. Completely removed statistics collection from CM.
Specifically, I'd like to hear about the Tab stability, if possible.

A Kernel of Truth and a New Device

My beloved Galaxy Tab 7 (OG) was the original reason I started building Sapir, well - the second reason. The real first reason was a missing field in the email app in CM10.
I just couldn't get along with the fact that meeting times were usually missing from the invitation messages and I had to fix it.

Then, I decided to breathe some life into my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 7". Now - it's just like having a cheap, but useful, Nexus 7 wannabe. My users also seem happy with that and especially with the fact I decided to keep the partition layout.
But - a few days ago - the builds for the Galaxy Tab started to lose stability - at least for some users. As a developer, one of the most frustrating situations is not being able to reproduce bugs reported by your users. Before going into a real frenzy, though, I'm simply going to dump the biggest change - I'm going to revert to CM kernel and see if the stability returns.

Worry not, this is only applicable to the GT builds, not to the other devices.

And now, speaking of devices, I just got the AT&T variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III - so my Galaxy Nexus is going to lie low for a while. I just built a Sapir for that - but it's still missing the camera stuff, so I'd wait a bit if I were you.

Builds are running as I write, so nightlies are coming soon.

New Build

New builds are coming out.
I've started uploading them to goo, and will soon update the threads.

Not too much changed in the new builds. Most changes are from the gerrit.
Today I moved the non official kernels outside of the build tree, to better control the timing of the updates. This goes for both franco for the Google Galaxy Nexus and well as for humberos for the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

As told, I'm still concentrating on "internal" changes - stabilising and enhancing performance.
The latest build, by the way, was the first to feature all three navigation bar changes:

  1. Enable / Disable navigation bar.
  2. Customise navigation bars buttons (M)
  3. Left navigation bar when in landscape

Look to the sidebar for the releases themselves.

    As some of you may know, I almost lost my build environment.
    Thankfully, though, I was able to recover it and continue the builds.
    The last release saw a significant performance boost, thanks to the new init changes.

    Keeping the "old" partition layout for the OG Galaxy Tab seems like a good decision - users are happy with it, and other ROMs may return to it sooner than expected.

    So - what's next?

    Many of you have written that the DPI changer is a feature that should stay, and I agree - although it will be part of Flux in the future. However, Flux will take some time to ship, which means I need to work on more immediate changes, to keep Sapir a fresh ROM.

    I may start with merging Tablet mode, but I'm currently debating other possible changes as well. Feel free to share your opinion in the threads or here.
