*** JuiceDefender BETA: important announcements
Wanna make JuiceDefender better? Join the beta group to be always up to date with the latest (and usually the greatest) experimental builds; the beta group feedback is the centerpiece of the development process – you will be shaping the app you love! We’re always looking for committed testers and inspiring ideas :)
You can help with testing work-in-progress features, improving support for your device, or joining the discussion about new features and improvements.
If you wish to participate in the beta group, you should:
- subscribe to *this* thread (vote it) to get important announcements about new builds, ongoing development, and feedback requests
- subscribe to the changelog thread (vote it) to be notified when a new build is available: http://juicedefender.com/changelog
- when a new build is available, download and install it from here: http://latedroid.com/latestdev - then use it for a while and report back on any issues you find!
- if you're not comfortable with the idea of using experimental builds (occasionally a fresh nasty bug will make a build almost unusable - but these are fixed quickly) you can get the Market beta from here: http://getbeta.juicedefender.com - it will have the added benefit of automatic updates via the Market, but most of the time the Market beta build won't be the very latest one, as it's updated less frequently; keep this in mind when reading or posting about a bug or fix.
Please *do NOT comment on this thread*! Instead, here's how to participate in the discussion:
- find the relevant thread in the "[BETA] Development" category and post there
- if you found a yet unreported bug (search first!) create a new thread in the "Bugs" category (describe it extensively and provide the exact steps to reproduce it if possible)
- feature requests are welcome - in the "Requests" category :)
- as a last resort (or for throwing general ideas around) the general discussion thread is here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/1061309-here-be-discussion-
Also, please do NOT comment on this thread ;)
Quite some builds since v3.6.6! Development is moving forward fast on several parallel paths; as of v3.7.3, this is the feedback I need:
- AOSP helper (rooted only): if installation failed before, try again – if it fails again send the log and let me know here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-general/suggestions/1053767-aosp-helper-all-you-need-to-know
- LTE-capable phones (only if the AOSP helper installed): http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/2235451-4g-lte-support-
- the new Location is getting fixes and improvements at every build – lemme know if it works better or worse: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/1319595
- MMS problems: MMS should work reliably as of v3.7.3 but it’s 100% untested, so please share your findings: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/1172191-mms-sending-receiving-not-working
- remotely disable JD via SMS: try it and tell me if it works! http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/2126315-enable-data-if-the-phone-receives-a-sms-with-a-cer

As you probably noticed, the feedback site is getting a bit of a overhaul (to better integrate "normal" support).
One consequence is that the private beta forum is no longer "private", but that's mostly just a formal difference, as it retains its structure, objectives and rules. But now, instead of being a separate entity, the beta forum lives within the main one under the "[BETA] Development" category. Basically everything that is under active research or development (fixes and new features) falls into this category.One nice side effect is that it'll be easier to move threads in and out of it as bugs are confirmed and then fixed or features agreed upon and then implemented.
This one remains the elected thread to be notified of important new builds and to know how you can help improve JuiceDefender, as from time to time I'll need (lots of) specific feedback from you guys.
Speaking of which:
- I still need more reports from LTE-capable phones - info here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/2235451-4g-lte-support-
- Keep reporting any problem with the AOSP helper here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-general/suggestions/1053767-aosp-helper-all-you-need-to-know
- Location will get some improvement soon enough; please join the discussion and share your opinion here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-feedback/suggestions/1319595

So, v3.6.4 is available. Important stuff to know:
- AOSP helper on CM7 *should* work now. Discussion and feedback here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-general/suggestions/1053767-aosp-helper-all-you-need-to-know - BUT! DANGER! Nexus 1/S owners, beware of this issue: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2928 - it seems it's not fixed yet! If you dare testing network mode control, please share your findings!
- LG G2X: if you must have the 'use apn method' setting for JD to work, please re-send the report - data collection is now automated and the hash I'm using is different. Thanks!
- 4G LTE phones (so Verizon and AT&T only, if I'm not mistaken): help me out here: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70439-juicedefender-private-beta/suggestions/2235451-4g-lte-support-
- Droid Charge: this is the thread for you guys: http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70439-juicedefender-private-beta/suggestions/1904635-issue-droid-charge-mobile-data-enable-often-fail
Also: guys! Please don't comment here - use the "here be discussion" thread for, ahem, general discussion!

Hello everybody! I know it's been a loooooong time - sorry! :/
The good news: as you can see from the changelog there's been a lot of progress, and it'll keep coming!
v3.6.3 is an important build because it sports a new AOSP helper that *might* work also on your favorite non-AOSP (but rooted) ROM.
So:
- install v3.6.3, DO NOT TRY AOSP installation yet
- reboot into recovery/use rom manager/etc and do a full nandroid backup (seriously, do it!)
- go ahead and try the AOSP helper installation
- if the installation worked (and JD can control GPS or network mode switching), go to the bottom of the About tab and hit on 'send report' about the AOSP success
- if the installation fails miserably and *makes your device practically unusable* (yeah, it could happen!), nandroid restore then go to the About tab and hit on 'send report' about the FUBARing of your phone; please describe what happened
- in any case ALSO report your results on the general discussion thread ;)If this works, there's a chance JD will soon be capable of managing LTE (4G); but I'll have to prepare a new IGT first :)

I miraculously (fine, it's just a banal caffeine surge hax) managed to make v3.4.7 available for those of you who lamented pernicious problems with the previous build. Also, I'm so beat that finally there's a chance I won't dream of curly braces and logging statements like it's been for the last 3 weeks! Yay!
(I beg for forgiveness in advance in case this build turns out to be even worse than the previous one - I don't really know what I've been doing in the last few hours) -
