Sapphire updater/toolkit

bugzilla ;-) features request...

cvp and i can't remember all of this stuff that's why it's there lol

 

It's an obvious yes.

 

Yeah, would love to see an app with these features. I'm horrible at command line stuff because I don't have a mind for details. When I don't use them often, I forget the specific verbiage of commands and whatnot. I prefer gui interfaces. Plus I like shiny.

Would be sweet to see something that included a gui for running scripts, an interface for downloading updates, and a section for official themes. Sorta mimics some of the features of rom manager, but would eliminate the reliance on that tool and prevent nonsupported stuff from confusing people.

Also, then you could build in a feature for flashing new themes to flash the stock theme by default before flashing the new theme to prevent issues (as is recommended on the wiki).

If you don't get a feature request in for it I'll put one in a bit. Gotta run to a meeting right now, stupid work....

 

I would love to see this guys. This would make some things SOO easy...

 

Yes, yes, yes.

 

It should be a requirement in any new rom.

 

As long as it's optional, fine. Don't know anything about the toolboxes, updaters, etc that other ROMs are using, but I don't want my phone clogged with scripts that carry out the most basic of commands or change system settings based on the whim of whoever kanged the ROM together.

 

Like I said, as long as it's optional. I'd rather have developers like the Sapphire team concentrate on making a better ROM than one with more bells & whistles that *nobody* really needs.

I see these ROMs that list "features" like "with 150 scripts built right in!!" that automate tasks that can be done in ~2 seconds from adb or terminal emulator, like remove apks or switch your Nexus live wallpaper colors to one of 50 different options. Or scripts to "keep 100MB free at all times" that people run and don't understand what exactly is taking place by running said script, and then wonder why their music app "crashes."

And I don't need something that tells me that there's an update for my ROM. Why have another service running, eating up memory, to notify me of something that a) happens maybe once every week or two and b) I can check by looking at a website?
