Sky Raider 3.0 has been released!!!

[kcannon]

Ok, I think App Market is downloading my apps to my SD Card, is there a way to change that?

Man, I'm loving Skyraider 3.0. My phone is ten time more stable than it was on 2.5.2. Thanks for this ROM.

adobe flash 10.1 won't work

I installed skyraider 3.0 and went to the skyraider directory on the sd card to load the flash 10.1. Says it installed but it won't play any flash? any ideas?

Mine worked after I rebooted.

Do you work for Sandisk? I wonder because they don't yet make a Class 4 micro sdhc card and am wondering how you got your hands on one?

I'm going to take that as a true question and not a snarky "your lying" kind of post......

Yes SanDisk does make a class 4 SD card. That post explains it.

Update from ihtfp69 on next sr3.0

[ROM] SkyRaider 3.0 RC2 Froyo/Sense [UPDATED: 08/25/10] - Page 62 - xda-developers

One of my old apps must have blew it out. I reinstalled skyraider 3.0 and then the flash player 10.1 stored in the skyraider directory and it worked. I then reloaded my apps with Titanium and it still works. Now I'm installing the new radio 2.15.

Does anyone feel like their battery has been Shot with 3.0? Mine drains so quickly

What class does the card say on it? you were not so polite to me on another post (Nick Burns style), so yeah, it was a "you're lying" kind of post. You can call it what you want, but it says Class 2 and is a Class 2. You're lying, or think you know better. What it do, Nick? "Did you reboot, MOVE!"

Ah hummm...ok it doesn't have a class on the card or the box, like most cards. It came in a generic Sandisk Verizon package. I used testing methodology from the sandisk forums to verify what class it was and if it was genuine. And no I don't know better hence the reason I tested the card, so my computer is much more adept at determining speeds of an SD than I am by looking at them. I even posted links to my sources so if you want to test it yourself you can get a card and jump on it. If you don't want to accept it, it's your choice. Sometime people like you really make me worry about society, grow up.

Oh wait lemme guess too you're going to argue back that it does have the class printed on the card?

One other thing, the only post I have found replying to you on ANY subject was when you were trying to flash the 2.15 radio. I wasn't even mean about it, sound like someone got there feelings hurt because someone didn't spoon feed them information that has been covered in such numerous amounts a simple search, or reading the thread you got the files from, would have answered easily. All I told you to do was read read read before you end up with a bricked phone after you fail to flash a radio right. If that hurts your feelings you should really grow some thicker skin dude.

i feel like mine has gotten better with 3.0. I'm ending my work day with 40 or 50 percent left rather than being dead. I'm just running on the stock battery too. I guess its all relative though.

Skyraider 3.0 RC3 is out and now in Rom Manager. Runs smooth so far, just flashed it. I did a wipe but he said you didnt have too. Search button is fixed, Qazmes favorite "rice burner" decals have been removed...not sure on overlapping because i use LP, also button mapping is also available when running stock sr launcher...I am pretty happy so far but looking forward to vanilla.

I'm abrasive? Hardly friend. I just air my opinions out when asked rather it be blunt or not. Just how I am. When someone asks an honest question and I can tell they have at least tried to find the answer I help them. If they come in here asking the same question for the 100th time or more without searching, without reading, or anything else and expect someone like myself to step in and spoon feed them the answer, I let them know what they should do first to earn help from the rest of us.

I used to never understand the "Let me google it for you", or "Search much?" answers until it got to the point that people start PMing me for help. When you start receiving PM's for help on topics you just covered in the forums asking how to do it when you've posted a step by step a monkey could follow, it tends to make you a bit touchy.

As far as abrasive, I'm sorry you think that way. In over 2,000 posts I have done nothing but try to educate and help people on this particular forum about Android. To get them to point where they wouldn't have to depend on a forum to get them out of trouble, to be able to install cool stuff, do the mods they want, or simply remove the garbage from their phone. If you don't take the time to read BEFORE you ask questions, then why should people like me take the time to reply or type up those how-to's and responses! If you take that as abrasive when I ask people to read or search because it's been covered I'm sorry, it's just how I am and I'm sure a few more people agree.

I've been on enough forums to know that this place always have an influx of folks who simply won't search. They want the instant gratification of the proper answer up front, boiled down in a few sentences, without having to bother with searching the forum or Googling, because it their mind it's labor intensive on their part, and runs the risk of retrieving complicated or in some instances conflicting answers.

Additionally, I think the intent is not so much to find the correct answer as it is to open a dialog with someone(s) who know what they're doing, because I'm sure you can agree, their first question is rarely their last question. They are terrified of bricking their $200-$500 phones. Granted, many of them probably shouldn't be rooting or flashing ROMs/kernels, but around here most everyone seems to be doing it and they end up drinking the kool-aid and trying it for themselves half cocked.

Personally, I'm with you. I think people should search and figure it out themselves, however I've learned to not actually POST 'Hey, search and figure it out yourself!' because that typically kills the thread or changes it's tone to a very defensive nature.

If I just move on, someone else a bit less cynical than you or I often times does reply with the proper answer, and everybody wins.

Also, I should point out that when someone here a few weeks back spammed a bunch of Android sites (this being one) looking for a cheap Incredbile and I told him to post in the Marketplace, you accused me of being the "forum police" (complete with sound effects...nice touch) and essentially told me to lighten up.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to return the favor

Yeah yeah I appreciate it Mike for putting it into perspective for me. You have definitely responded with what I was already thinking, as far as not responding at all, in fact I think I've just about decided that if it seems they haven't done their research or read the directions I may not help.....makes it hard though especially when I see someone getting the wrong information and making mistakes.......

So you're welcome for being able to return the favor I don't claim I'm perfect, but I try to be as close to it as possible! Touche' my man.

Lets keep all discussion in this thread about Sky Raider all other comments can be made in PM's. The previous post not about Sky Raider and attacking others are going to be deleted and if it continues more actions will be taken.

Regarding Sky Raider 3.0 RC3, I installed it this morning and it appeared as though I lost 10% of my battery in an hour. Will continue to monitor to see if battery life is affected.

However, something to consider: This particular install also installs over your kernel. I had KingxKernel #3 and now have with KingxKernal 1# BFS.

KxK #3 was simply bar none when it came to battery life. I was literally going on two days with over 40% battery life. I don't seem to be experiencing the same with KxK BFS #1.

I'll keep KxK BFS #1 for another day or so, then roll back to KxK #3 for comparison purposes.

Also, like many others, I like the stock Sense lock bar a bit better than this one.

my battery sucks now matter what I have done...this seems like a more complete release, have you noticed the screen dims relly quickly when pressing lock button before going black?

It does, almost like a two step dim/black process when you press the button. Also, the unlock slider seems a bit choppy and you only need to pull it down 50% of the way for it to unlock on its own.

Yea I noticed that too...that is really feeding my OCD...IBut I think the rom overall is pretty smooth and he fixed alot from RC2..I do wish 3.0 vanilla was out or CM6 stable so I could try those but overall I think this is one of the better roms out, my quadrant and neocore went up from rc2 to 1381 and 27fps...

I am pretty new to these roms, in rom manager there are other files like notification bars, goodies, themes...will those work with 3.0 or just 2.5.2

 

[mclarryjr]

I think all the goodies should work on RC3 but just make sure you have a backup before you flash them.

Agreed. I haven't found anything that doesn't work or loss of functionality.
