Why is the ipod4g UI so slow with the most recent dailies? (SOLVED)

Shovas:
Not patched.

Llorean:
Firstly, we don't recommend dailies. That's why there's no direct link to them. We instead recommend the 'Current Build' which is what the link is to. That's why I kept using the phrase current build, rather than daily. A daily can be as much as 23 hours and 59 minutes old, and a bug in it could be long fixed by the time you download and install it.

And yes, the newest bootloader is important before reporting a bug because when the bootloader changes it is usually an important change.

This is why before reporting a bug we want you to be using the current build, not the latest daily, and we want you to be using the most up to date bootloader. Otherwise the bug may not even exist any more, and you're just experiencing a strange interaction from two pieces of software that aren't meant to be used together (old bootloader, new build, for example) or a bug that has been fixed days or even so little as hours ago, but is in fact gone.

That being said, if you can reproduce it with the newest current build and bootloader, we do want to hear about it.

Shovas:
With 2007-03-10, all my complaints are resolved satisfactorily: (1) Next always works pretty quickly, a little delay, but not much, (2) Songs don't stop and then start again (apparently waiting to buffer or something), (3) Menus work decently quickly even when a song is playing.

You know, I check the cvs logs every time I install a daily and I rarely find ipod (let alone ipod4g) related changes so I'm surprised dailies have been having this much impact on my ipod.

At any rate, I guess this goes to show dailies are definitely development builds.

Llorean:
It's very hard for most people to identify changes that affect their target. 95% of changes affect all players.

There is no "iPod Rockbox", there's just "Rockbox" which happens to run on several players, with small bits here and there that are specific to certain ones, the drivers primarily, but the vast majority of the software is the same code on all of them.

Shovas:
What's the definition of the "current" build? I was under the impression dailes were more up-to-date than the current build?

So, you're saying that (for example) in my "do.sh" script, I should rather download the current build, but keep all the rest of the parts the same? Then the current build might have intra-day changes so I could run it twice in a day to see if a bug had been caught and fixed in that day?
