[8/24/10] - SS 4.7 OTA Updates - Patch #2

[ChevyNo1]

Will this fix the issue with Sports Tap text in pull down?

More than likely, this will fix ANY app where you couldn't previously see the text

[ChevyNo1]

Bit off topic but was curious about an option I thought I used to have... It seemed in 4.6 I was able to set it up so the led would notify in orange but messenger (text messages) had an option for their own color.

Reason being I work at a college and get a lot of junk/superficial emails daily, yet my girlfriends texts are rather important to me, so since my phone is on vibrate 99.9% of the time, it was nice to look at the color (orange being emails.. missed calls, etc, blue being texts) and know if it was even worth turning the screen back on.

EDIT: should mention the reason I said "it seemed" is that while waiting for 4.7 I tried out Lithium, and maybe it was that rom that modified the messenger to allow for a different led color than the default.

SS can only change the DEFAULT led color - this means that if you see a different color, it is the app doing it ... I don't have any options for different color for MMS for example - but will be looking into it

ChompSMS gives you the option to change to color of the LED for text messages.

Handcent will let you pick individual led colors per contact as well as overall alert color. And its free in the market.

OK. At first I thought it was something I did wrong. Will have to flash back to a NAND of this soon as I am done testing every ROM out right now. Do like your work, esp with my theme on top of it.

I am having the same issue with not recieving the patch OTA. I went into chevy tools and opened up the news folder, and it told me about the patch. This OTA is not showing up automatically once I open up Chevy Tools though. What can I do to receive the update?

[ChevyNo1]

Is anyone reading the OP over at ssandroid? The patch has not been released yet - this is just a heads-up!

Thank Chevy!

Just installed the update, its working great.

It seems like the phone checks for news/updates when I open the ChevyNo1 tools menu. This creates two minor problems: 1. There is a long pause while opening the Chevy menu, which is annoying when I'm not trying to update my phone, and 2. Most users don't realize thats how to update the phone, so they're looking for an update button somewhere.

Solution: Don't check for news/updates when opening the Chevy menu, but put a button in the Chevy menu to check for news/updates. This way there is no delay in accessing the Chevy menu, and users can easily check if a new update has been released.

Not sure where the right place to post this, but...

YOU ROCK CHEVY! Just came over from another Rom and will not look back.

Thanks for your hard work, look for a donation next week.
