Has anyone tried Bugless Beast 7.4?

[samiusmc]

Has anyone tried BB 7.4? If so, please let me know if it's stable, if it has any performance issues and whether it's worth installing. I'm currently running the 7.2 Beast. Thanks in advance!

AllDroid - View topic - [ROM] Bugless Beast V0.7.4 (2/3/10)

 

[Wannabe]

Running with no problems.

 

[jcrusor]

It failed the first time I installed. I am now re-downloading and trying again. The file size was too small apparently.

 

[crspang]

I've barely gotten used to 7.2. So far its stable and snappy and I haven't run into any issues with maps or music. Ill stay on this for a few more days and probably try something else.

 

[Matth3w]

I'm downloading the update.zip right now

 

[jcrusor]

Got it up and running now.

 

[deputc26]

The first update.zip he posted was corrupted, he repost a new one that is now fine.

I've been running it for nearly a couple hours, and it's been stable at 800 MHz. I've been having trouble getting the Google News and Weather (Glass version) widget running again, but as far as the actual ROM itself, no problems. And the annoying contacts force close issue is fixed.

 

[Matth3w]

What's the issue you are having with the news and weather widget? I love that widget and if 7.4 ****ed it up, I'm not going to upgrade.

 

[drmcstford]

Its taken out on 7.4 you have to redownload it you wan it, I'm trying to decide if its worth upgrading, 7.2 runs cherry on my droid.

 

[jim_stem]

Could someone please post the changle log here? For reason alldroid is proxy blocked at work....Im running 7.2 and would like to know the differences between the two

 

[Matth3w]

Which one is the news/weather, genie widget?

What's the issue you are having with the news and weather widget? I love that widget and if 7.4 ****ed it up, I'm not going to upgrade.

It was taken out and has to be downloaded separately, but several people were having trouble installing the apk. I found a Terminal fix on another forum:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/download/GenieWidgetGlass.apk /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
chmod 755 /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
sync
reboot

It's now working perfectly for me.

The only thing I miss was being able to shift to landscape on home screen without sliding out keyboad but eh no biggy. I noticed 0.7.4 runs fast and smooth even at 550mHz so I am very impressed. At 950mHz it is simply blazing so may dial back to 800 just to save a little more battery.
