Tried out the latest nightly last night. The honeycomb lockscreen is pretty sweet, but I'm having the same problems with GPS wherein it will acquire a lock, then lose it completely 10 minutes later. As I depend on GPS, this makes it a no-go for now.

I'm looking forward to seeing any progress you continue to make on this, nice job!
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
I've been meaning to work on the evo build for a while, but I just got over being sick, and we just had a death in the family. I've got some ideas for the GPS, and I want to fix some other little bugs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emarietta:
where do you download the nightlys?

edit... nevermind i found it haha. im gonna tryout this rom.. it looks sweet and has a cool website haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
updated OP
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDoctor1177:
Has anyone tried the updated ROM? Loved this ROM when if first released. Glad to see it's been update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
We've got quite a few downloads, just not a whole lot of feedback. I'm running it on my evo and haven't had any issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nismopc:
I loved this ROM, but as many others stated, had to switch due to GPS issues. Have these been sorted out in the newest nightly? Would be a great thing if it was...

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
I believe they have. I'm getting accurate locks every time, but like I said, we haven't got a lot of feedback. Lemme know how it is for you, I've put some work into GPS, but it may need some more
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDoctor1177:
Sounds great. I'll flash tomorrow and give some feedback. Thanks again for the update, I'm really interested in the "Honeycomb" style lock screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
Its pretty baddass :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ovrclck:
I can't find the nightlies for the Eris unless it's under a different name?
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
They go by code name. The Eris code name is desirec. Don't ask me why lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ovrclck:
Oh I thought so haha, thanks man!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
I keep thinking I'm done trying new ROMs - but this looks pretty slick. I'll have to try it out. Well done!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
So during development, the Eris had the codename desire and was then released as the Eris. Try reversing the word desire -> erised and see what you notice :). The "c" in desirec means it is cdma instead of gsm...much like the hero and heroc. HTC must have liked the name Desire, since they ended up releasing a phone with that name which was codenamed bravo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
lockscreen selection isn't functional

Simply because I was interested to see the Honeycomb concept lockscreen I wanted to try it out. However, I get the sliding tabs lockscreen no matter which one I select in the god mode options...

EDIT: To clarify - I used the most recent nightly. Otherwise I really like the feel and layout so far!
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
Choose sliding tabs, that's the hc lock
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
Success! For some reason it didn't work the first time - I did reboot so maybe that had something to do with it? The first time around I tried all three options but the sliders showed up each time.

Again - this ROM seems super smooth right now, I'm excited to play around with it a little bit later.
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
No reboot should be needed for the lockscreen switctes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Just flashed the 7-6 nightly and things are good so far. The honeycomb lockscreen is working...just had to remember that we needed to use the "sliding tabs" option. I'm driving about 4 hours tomorrow so I'll test out the GPS some if I get the chance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
7-7 just started lol. Your falling behind :-P
[Droid Eris Android Development] nismopc:
Not sure when I will be able to test GPS, but 7.6 is running smooth so far. Hope to here good things about GPS.

r2DoesInc, so glad you decided to take the time to improve on a great ROM...

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ido:
request

can you pretty please compile the kernel with cifs support ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nismopc:
I am guessing the reason I can't get Google Apps to work is because I need to use one of these:

GAPPS - GAPPS

GAPPS (lithid) with new gtalk - lithid GAPPS

instead of the one I've been trying to use which is from the ODEXed ROM.

:cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Checking in to report on how gps fared on my drive to chicago. It would connect ok and work a bit for navigation but it would then lose gps signal and not be able to reacquire. If I exited nav and restarted it would be ok until signal was lost. At least no force closes as some have experienced on Eris ROMs. And for me, I rarely use navigation on here so it's not a big deal.

Otherwise OMFGB has been running well. Only thing I have found myself missing from CM is the ability to adjust the screen brightness by sliding along the status bar.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDoctor1177:
Does this have the theme chooser installed in it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
Yes, it has the theme chooser
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
reporting the same thing. Will acquire a lock on GPS on maps, but navigation will drop after about 10 minutes or so. Also tried 3rd party nav apps with the same result.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nismopc:
I went back to CM7 ODEX'ed. Just didn't seem to be running smoothly.

Sorry, was hoping for more. :( Will keep checking in on progress though...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Guys, how do I install this rom? I tried flashing the latest nightly from recovery and nothing happened. I guess there is so other way of doing this or I had a bad download. Sorry for the stupid question, but I think I may be doing this one wrong.

-j
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
What do you mean nothing happened.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
I tried flashing the rom and it works okay. However, my sdcard won't mount. It says it doesn't recognize the filesystem. The only other rom i have issues with is deadlysense.

It mounts fine on GSB, macrom, evervolv, and condemnedsoul.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
My sd card mounts fine. Do you have more than one partition?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
Yep i believe i do. I formated it via recovery a couple weeks ago.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
The inability to mount the card might be caused by the partitioning. There used to be an issue for the Eris where if more than one partition was present on the sdcard, you needed to have both the first and last partitions be fat32. The first is what would be used/mounted by recovery and the last is what was used by the ROM itself. I ran into this back when I was using an ext2 partition and needed to set up my sdcard that way. Here's a post from Conap about this issue and how to partition the sdcard:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8674805#post8674805

However, when I flashed Condemned v9.5(from v7 maybe?), the ROM actually mounted the first fat32 partition...so there must have been merge in CM that fixed that issue. I currently don't have my sdcard partitioned so I can't confirm what you're experiencing but maybe this will help you understand what might be happening and maybe r2 can figure out what fixed this in CM so it can be included in OMFGB.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
I guess what I am asking is if you flash the nightlies the same way as any other rom? If so I prob just have a bad download. When I chose it in recovery it just jumps back to the menu with out flashing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Yep, flash the same way. I'd re-download the latest nightly and try again. You could also check if the recovery.log file gives any clues if you want to know why it isn't flashing. In Amon_RA recovery, there's an option under Other to "move recovery.log to SD".
[Droid Eris Android Development] Emunny:
Flashed the new nightly,run's really smooth. Good job bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
Using recovery i paritioned the sdcard again. First one was swap 32mb, second ext2 512mb, fat32 is the rest.

I'll flash omfgb again and report any issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] r2DoesInc:
**** 2.3.5 >.<
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
Okay still having issues with sd card. I will try the link from earlier. I will keep you posted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
Okay i booted into ubuntu live cd, so i can use qparted and format the sd card that way. Hopefully this will work. LOL
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Great, thanks. Will try again tonight
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
It worked. Just a bad download. Is there any way to speed up the launcher. It is a little laggy. Overall great rom so far. I like it. Has any one here flashed the othe (omgb) and compared them?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nismopc:
GodMode keeps FC'n on me when I try to go through the Menu. Works fine when I choose it through the Application list. :confused:

Also, is there an easy way to change font on lock screen clock? Not fond of the LED style digits. :o
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Flash one of the attached zips in recovery to change the clock font.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
Okay, i finally got the sd card working partly. Currently, I get a notification that says SD card safe to remove.

I booted into ubuntu and formatted the card with fat 32 primary partition and a ext2 primary partition. Previously, I was using ext3. I haven't tried ext4, but something certainly isn't working. When i go into settings, I can't mount the card. All i get is preparing sd card notification, but card isn't mounted. No other problems with other AOSP roms.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Emunny:
What worked for me is all I did was put my SD card into my computer and hit format. Easy as that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
Yep that worked.

I guess i was over thinking it. LOL
[Droid Eris Android Development] Emunny:
Sweet glad it worked for ya

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drakkahn:
Ok, so I have spent hours trying to get this fixed and am just not having any luck. I'm sure the information is right in front of me, but nothing I am trying is working.

I updated my friends HTC Mytouch 3G to Stock 2.2.1 using a thread from here(i forget which one) and rooted using one click.

He now wants to install a different ROM such as cyanogenmod, however, now I cannot seem to get a recovery installed.

Boot screen says:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.28.25

We tried installing Amon's recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492 , and tried installing an engineering SPL from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019&highlight=fastboot and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548218&highlight=0013 (because at some point we were getting the fastboot remote: not allow error

and cannot get either method to work.

Hboot just does not seem to find a valid image...

Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe i'm just trying to make this to hard.

Thanks in advance for any direction on this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Just use ROM manager to reinstall the recovery. If your previously installed a custom ROM though, you should already have a custom recovery installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drakkahn:
I thought we had already tried the Rom Manager, I'll give it another go.

Just to clarify though, the only thing I did before was upgrade to the stock 2.2.1, and rooted the phone. We didn't install any custom roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Make sure you select the "ION/myTouch" option.
[HTC Desire S] robot1000:
Taken from HUKD (unable to post link unfortunately)

O2 have an offer on of getting the HTC Desire S Free on a 24 month contract of £13.50pm. However, Topcashback and Quidco currently have £100 cashback on O2 contracts (when bought with an accessory as well), which brings it down to roughly £230, which works out at £9.58 per month.

Even better, there are some reports that you can cancel the £3 data package from the contract after one month which brings the price down even further to only £160!! (£6.67 per month)

Remember you are signing up for a contract with O2, but for this low price you can afford just to use the phone without the SIM, but you will need to cancel after the 23rd month.

O2 also unlock contract phones for free, so it can be used with any network you choose

[Epic 4G General] plmiller0905:
I know but its only $49.99 for an upgrade...which is still way cheaper than sprint
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I worked for radioshack for 3 years. I deeply loathe that place. Please people don't buy your phones at radioshack. Its all they care about and those prices are so low because district managers pressure associates into not selling phones unless you get accessories with it. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you the salesman will turn you away not sell you the handset if you don't get something alongside with it.

Bottom line. Get your phones online. I bought both of my epics back in november for 100? If im not mistaken off of letstalk.com. amazon normally has awesome deals too. Save yourself the hassle of being hassled and don't put money into these corporate pigs pockets.
[Epic 4G General] Sonny_B:

If I wanted to get my wife an epic for this deal, (she currently has the transform) and we're not eligible for an upgrade, how 'could' we go about it ?? I don't believe there is a way without committing to a 4th line, rt ?

just cuious how some of you would accomplish this.

Thanks..
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
It bad. You get harassed and your job threatened everyday. Your NEVER good enough in that place. For those interested or want to work there this is what you will experience.

Radioshack gets angry if you don't sell they're quota of phones a day. If you sell your phone by itself they get angry. I you sell a phone with accessories (and they have a minimum like 20-40 bucks), cool. Now did you get the warranty? No? Your not good enough. Here's a write up. I remember when the i4 came out and they said it was mandatory to sell the 70$ applecare with it. Lol. Oh and don't forget about the plethora of other **** you gotta do there besides earn commission selling cell phones. Which is essentially the only real way to make money there.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
jeez, I've never had an issue buying a phone at radio shack. I've never bought accessories there and they just seemed happy I was getting a phone.
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
Lovely.. i'm within 30 days.. now I get to see if i can get best buy to price match/guarantee, or return it (stupid restocking fee) and get it for $100 cheaper.. if it was $20-40 difference I wouldn't bother, but $100.. that's worth some time to get my money back.
[Epic 4G General] Leviuqse:
and the iphone 4 is still at $200 with contract.....lol..

the only thing i like about iphones...is a good reseller..
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Probably because whoever helped you out was like me. I'm an anarchist at heart so I gave the shack the finger when they tried that **** on me. I chose to sell the honest way. Cut throat sales have never been my thing.
[Epic 4G General] gsxrdennis25:
You are aware that radioshack has their own terms and conditions for purchasing devices at their prices. If you look at the fine print it states that if within 181days you make ANY changes to how your acct is set up with them you will repay $300 to radio shack for the discounts they gave you.

This is how they are able to sell at even further reduced pricing below sprints pricing, they make you agree to terms of purchase to cover their loss if sprint does not pay them their commission at 6 months.

sooo that $20 phone could cost you $320 for something as simple as cancelling or adding insurance, or having a past due balance.

This is a common practice among 3rd party stores, such as the shack and walmart and wirefly

Sprint stores, sprint.com, preferred dealers do not have this additional ts and cs, so sometimes its worth paying a little more up front.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Correct. If you purchase a high end handset from them the make you put down a valid credit credit card. So if you open a contract and run with the phone its gonna get charged to your credit card. Which I don't blame them for.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Why do you need another one, you can't even brick the first one.

:p
[Epic 4G General] imjimmy:
My understanding is that the extra 180 day ETF is ONLY for buying online.

If you buy through the radioshack store, there is no extra ETF of 6 months. But if you buy radioshack online, there is..
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
Interesting info to know, makes me rethink the hassle of taking 1 epic back, reconnecting my moment for a couple days till they ship me a new epic.. Now i have to weigh the cost etc. I've had sprint for 11yrs, so not likely to make any changes to my account anytime soon, but you just never know. Good info thanks!
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I'd simply give them a prepaid card. That's how I pay my DirecTV bill in case they feel like hammering me w/ their stupid DVR ETF in the event I feel like giving them the finger..

I haven't read their TOS, but I wonder if this would be one way to do it.. heh..

I just don't want to add yet another line, and I don't think I'm 'eligible' for an upgrade.. meh.. I'll look on Ebay
[Epic 4G General] gsxrdennis25:
if you do not have a valid credit card they will take you to small claims court over the discounted price they lost on the initial sale of the device.

the worst part of this policy is how uninformed of the policy that their store employees are, they simply tell you to go to a "corporate sprint store" and you will not be charged. That is flat out incorrect, sprint pays radio shack a commission on the 181st day after the contract was signed, this means that any interruption or modification to your rate plan, the esns of your ptns, or past due balances. this results in a charge back much like defaulting on your car payment and the dealer you purchased from is seeking to cover their damages. This is the gamble you take while going for "the best deal".
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
Does anyone know if they will do any discounts for the plan? I'm paying about $91/month to sprint, and it looks like if I add another line, I'll be paying $180/month, which is pretty worthless, may as well get a new subscription. My wife wants a phone, but I may as well get a cheaper plan from ATT or Verizon instead.
[Epic 4G General] Blackhawk163:
Wow really? Things gave changed then. When I used to work there, sure, there was an emphasis on selling PBA, especially on cell units, however I never received write ups. I would sell anywhere between 30-60 units a month between Verizon and Sprint. Money was good back then . . .
[Epic 4G General] imjimmy:
True, but as I said before, this only happens when you buy from radioshack- online. IF you buy from Radioshack store there is NO extra 180 day penalty. At least nothing is there in the TOS. I'm assuming buying from the radioshack store = buying from sprint store.
