[Droid Eris Android Development] Prefader:
This ROM has been fantastic for the most part, with two little hiccups:

1) I use ADWLauncher, provided by the flashable zip in the first post. Unfortunately, flashing the zip doesn't seem to successfully install adw. Instead, it places the apk in /system/app/, which I can then install by browsing to it and tapping it. This works, for a little while, but sometimes after a reboot, ADW becomes uninstalled and I have to go through the whole tapdance of browsing to /system/app/ and installing it from there again.

2) The phone doesn't always recognise a USB disconnect . . . I unplug, but the little icon stays in the statusbar, and I can still enter storage mode through the notification bar.

Weird, eh?
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Anyone who is interested on having trackball notifications back, try light flow lite on the market. Works after some tinkering.

Oh, and regarding ADW, I also installed the zip from the op, but mine has worked fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I suspect that ALL ROMs that have this Navi issue "fixed" by reverting to an older or previous version of Maps. When Mac released it and people installed the linked version of GAPPs, all was good. Since then, Google pushed an update that caused issues.... Other ROMs may have just had bad luck on the timing ! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
What are you waiting for ? :D :D

Or did you update the OP with this new build.prop ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I've been working a lot of hours lately (off site training, so I'm usually out 12 hours a day!). Training end Tuesday, then I've got some vacation time I'm using to relax! All the updates will funnel in then. I haven't had access to my Linux PC this week, so I haven't had a chance to do any real compiling. I do have the Build.prop mods done and I'm testing them now on the last MacRom release (windows is good for something I guess... Signapktic does a good job of letting me sign files without needing my pc. Too bad it can't compile roms! :D).

I'm laying out a new OP to get things in the thread cleaned up along with the rom updates. Plans are that the next updates will include the GAPPS, so it'll leave everyone with one less package to flash. I pulled the Maps out of the June GAPPS and replaced it with the 5.2.0 version to "hopefully" keep the app from crashing on the next releases!

Build prop mods are major. Everything has been cleaned up, outlined and described for ease of modification in future builds. I also added in memory tweaks to force a more aggressive memory management (that's what I'm testing now...Tweaking values a bit here and there to get things smooth!)

MacRom will be on the latest nightly (hopefully with screenshot working!) and set as a SR build (Stable Release). EV has had no real updates from the Evervolv team. I'll post a Flashable Build.prop to update the memory tweaks for everyone. I'll also update the existing B3 roms and post updates in the OP, just incase someone wants to start over.

I'm building a list of things that people would like to have in the following update(s), as long as it's nothing too extreme. If anyone has a request or 2, let me know... It's going to be a while before any further updates are released (CM hasn't really made anything spectacular to update to lately, with exception to the screenshot app, so I'm changing my update schedule to 1 per month... Besides, weekly updates take up a lot of time that I just don't have lately).

I've got a GB Sense Rom waiting to pop up as well, but I've got some issues with it that need to be worked out before I post it here... :D

Ok, hopefully that covers the update questions... Whew! :D:D

Thanks everyone!!!!!

Tiny Icons In Notification Bar

Macrodroid, I downloaded the Lean EV Eris Build 3 De-Odexed 4 hours ago. I was coming from GSB 2.9. I did a full wipe of cache and dalvik cache. So far I noticed that the rom seems to be smooth and stable. the only problem I have is that the 3G, signal strength, and battery icons in the notification tray are all tiny. It's hard for me to see them even while wearing my reading glasses.

What can I do to make those icons bigger?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'm doing updates with the build.prop file on these today. I'll pm you a file to flash that'll update the rom settings for you.

There is also a file you can flash in the op to reset the dpi settings to stock.

Thanks,

Rich
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
If you include that, you probably do not want to tell people to apply the "SuperCharger" tweaks as you'll probably get conflicts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] crax0r:
Congrats! And jcase stop z-lining me (-_-')
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Mac, ever consider porting a MIUI ROM to eris? That'd be sweet...
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Anyone used the Android SDK (ddms) to take a screenshot (lately) ? I just updated all the add-on files for the SDK but still get "Screen not available" (after updating) when I try to do a screen capture.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'd be happy to, if there was anything to port. No drivers to match our hardware, completely sucks! On the bright side, .pngs are resized if someone wants to theme one... lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Bummer. I saw a hero port; gave me hope. Oh well. thanks for answering. Getting ready to dump the eris for a dinc2 or what ever comes out in the next few weeks anyway...I'll miss the eris devs
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I saw the same thread... had my hopes up too for a bit, but the outlook became more dim as the pages went on...:(
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Dumb question, perhaps, bit what would happen if I pushed all those miui apks, like launcher, gallery, etc into a cm7 or aosp rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
What would that gain you? They're just apps, not the core part of the ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Like I said, dumb question...i guess it would just look like miui.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
None of them would work unless modded since they are dependent on the MIUI framework. To get the miui camera color effects to work, I had to bring in pieces from the framework and modify some of the smali code. Now I'm trying to decide on the best way to support switching to the FFC for phones that have one...add in FFC support code to the current fixed2 apk or pull and modify/re-fix the latest miui camera apk from the ROM zip for a phone with a FFC.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Yeah, figured it would be over my head. I'm using a miui gallery in combo with the camera app, and that works pretty nicely. just for giggles I'll try a few more out (music, sms, etc) and see what does and what doesn't work. Oh, and mac, sorry to clutter up your thread with this. I'll stop now, I promise
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
If you're looking for a clean MIUI-ish theme, I recommend the ORION theme by jasonevil. I normally do not care for white status bar themes, but his is very clean. Couple this with this with the MIUI icon pack if you use LP+, and it looks very nice and MIUIish

Suddenly so many choices, so little time. Oops, links not up yet .. I'm guilty of jumping the gun.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Someone jumped the gun on updating the OP.... :p ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Whoopsy!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
The links are broken in the op

Nevermind, downloading now
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Ok, yeah, took forever to upload and I posted the OP updates BEFORE I had the links ready... :eek: Sorry everyone! Links are up and the Rom is ready! Working on the final touches for Espresso Sense (Wifi broke, just updating a few libs and retesting!)... I'll have that posted after work tomorrow! :D

[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Cool ! Looks like this update enables 4G on our old Eris phones !! Thanks !! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
But still no flash 0_o
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Hmmm, when flashing the latest update, it displayed "Formatting System". I did NOT do a full wipe, hence I didn't do a backup of SMS, etc, etc. Not sure where SMS and other stuff is stored...

Edit: Okay, no worries.... Looks like no harm done :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Those apks need resizing if if talking about the hero port.cause nothing but issues

Sent from my phone using my fingers to type
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Forgive me if I an wrong tazz, but aren't the apks already resized to mpdi? At least that's what I thought the thread said.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
Just installed the Odex version on my wife's eris and weather bug seems to be broken. I've made sure to update the apk and i've wiped the data, but to no avail. It force closes seconds after trying to open it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Same here, with "elite" version (it was a free application of the day from Amazon).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'll reload my nand and check that tonight guys... I'll post my findings...
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Can either or both of you run logcat while launching the app and post the output here or to pastebin? To do so in terminal emulator, run the commands with root access by running "su" first. Before running the app, clear the log using "logcat -c" to cut out a lot of unneeded lines. Then after launching and getting the force close, you can dump the log output to a file on the sdcard with "logcat -d *:V > /sdcard/output.txt"
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Great idea Mongoose, thanks. That'll help narrow down where the collapse is... I'll do the same tonight through adb when I get back on ev.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Hmmm, no terminal emulator... CM includes it, apparently AOSP does not ? Let me grab it from the Market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
Odd...Launcher Pro works just fine but as soon as I enter unlock key for LP Plus or restore a TB backup of LP plus the launcher goes into a loop of force closes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Are you sure ? :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
No some are messed up bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Ok Hall, stop finding things missing! Sheesh, ok forgot the damned 2D Gallery again! Here's the APK file, if anyone wants it... Sorry about forgetting it! (Age, you know... Older I get the more I forget...)

I swear Terminal's there, though! lol...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I use Ti-Backup to reload my LP settings and password all the time, haven't had any reboot issues with it. :confused: I'm assuming you're using the updated Rom... Another things to test on my list... I'll get back with you after I check on the Weather Bug issue...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Ok, apparently when the wife's tired, I should be too... lol! Updates are off tonight, apparently I spend too much time on the computer (15 minutes in wife time is all freakin' night...)

Besides, wifi on this espresso rom broke and it's being a pia to fix so far.... maybe I'll have better luck when her mood changes... sheesh!

Women, can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em!
[Droid Eris Android Development] phone_cell:
Ain't that the truth! :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Hey now ! :D After installing a new update, I use Ti Backup to remove apps I don't ever use (News & Weather, etc) and since I've been using the (2D) Gallery, I removed the standard (3D) Gallery. I had noticed the icon for the 2D Gallery had changed to the generic Android icon but gave it no thought.... 'til I tried to launch it and was told it's missing. Odd too, 'cause even if you did forget it, it shouldn't have affected my installed copy ! :confused: :confused:

I thought it was really odd that Terminal Emulator seemed to be missing too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:

[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Thanks Hall... Dumb question, what version of maps do you have installed? Since weatherbug uses location it ties the app to maps... Looks like it ran into an exception trying to resolve maps location ...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Ti should keep the backed up app. Odd.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Edit: Attached is a flashable zip that should resolve the issue of apps force closing when trying to find your location using Maps. Place zip on sdcard, reboot to recovery, flash it, and reboot.

Ah, so it looks like the framework file com.google.android.maps.jar is missing. Makes since that weatherbug would FC since it is using Maps to find your location. The file is found in the gapps zip under system/framework/ and didn't seem to get included in the ROM zip with the gapps themselves. You can adb push it yourself or use a file manager to place it in /system/framework but make sure the permissions are set correctly then reboot. Owner:group should both be 0(root) and permissions set to 644(rw-r--r--).
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Interesting.... related to Maps, huh ? Would explain why GasBuddy is failing to find my location and complaining about GPS. Navigation works fine though.

Let me check the version of Maps. I know we want to stick with an older version but it seems to me that Google has decided to flag their apps with "update automatically and don't ask the user for permission" as well as remove the checkbox to DISABLE this !
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
What about pushing GAPPS ? I can do the manual steps, mind you, but for others, it might be easier to flash GAPPS like previously done.

How do I 'chown' ? I changed the rwx flags okay... What's the syntax for the command line ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Google Maps v 5.2.1 (#5218) gmm-android-verizon-us
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Won't that be the "new" (v5.6.x) version that Mac's avoiding ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Copied com.google.android.maps.jar to /system/framework, changed permissions and ownership, and both Weatherbug and GasBuddy work fine now. Didn't have to reboot...
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'll make a flashable zip to make it easy...unless Macrodroid or someone else beats me to it.

Edit: the zip can be found in this post. Place the zip on your sdcard, reboot to recovery, flash it, and reboot.

Good to hear it's working. If the adb push method is used, ownership will be set properly and permissions will be ok but slightly different than the other framework files. Moving or copying a file from the sdcard is when changing permissions is necessary since files on the sdcard have owner/group as 1000(system)/1015(sdcard_rw) and permissions set to 075(---rwx-r-x).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
If you don't mind, I'd like to push this into the next update also... Thanks for the help bro! I'm still a newbie at this...
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I certainly don't mind. The zip is just a temp solution anyways so it can work for people until it's included in the next update. We're all still learning which is what makes it fun...at least I think so.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Thanks bro!

Anyone wanting to try out some Espresso Froyo Sense, I posted a new thread! WIFI and Bluetooth are still broke, but what the heck, might as well get it out there anyways... Besides, no fun in updating stuff that works!!! :D

If you don't need BT or WIFI, the Rom is really stable, fast and fun! Has that Froyo stability with a little of that GB feel to it!

Thanks,

Rich

Going back to the 'issue' with newer versions of Maps and apps like Weatherbug, GasBuddy, etc that seem to hook into Maps, what would happen if I installed Weatherbug or GasBuddy and did NOT install Maps ?

Just asking out of curiosity, of course...
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Question about this rom, Do i need to run the ADW launcher zip to install ADWEX or can i just skip that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
"Launcher 2" is included or built-in. If you're used to MacRom where NO launcher is included, that's not the case here.

If you don't want to use Launcher 2 or want to use ADW or ADWEX, yes, you'll need to install it. Personally, I'd just pull it the Market after you get the ROM up and running....
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Mac, I'll probably be joining you soon, unless I decide to hold out for a galaxy s2. Just hope you get a froyo dinc2; they haven't cracked the gb rom yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
What are you going to do about the limit on data usage? I'm not sure I'm going to be able to re-sign with Verizon because of the now data cap.
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
If you have unlimited data, you get grandfathered in, even when switching to LTE.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I've decided to put this Rom is the hands of MongooseHelix from this point out! From what I've read in his posts, he's more capable with issues that I am, so this rom is in good hands for you guys!

Thanks to everyone here for your support with the Rom's I've ported for us... I know it hasn't been much and all, but knowing I've done something to contribute here has really made my time worthwhile!!!

Thank you EVERYONE!!

[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Hey Mongoose ?!?! We're waiting... :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Lol... I don't think they've updated anything yet... :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm here and alive :). Haven't gotten around to doing anything for this ROM yet but I'll be getting in touch with preludedrew to see what the future holds. I'll at least get try and get a feel for when more development on Evervolv is expected. It looks like he's currently been focused on a sense 3.0 ROM called Absurd.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196051

That too haha.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
No worries, I was just teasing...

Now, on a serious note, and I need to re-read the OP, is there any chance of getting the trackball-light working on this ? I don't know if the source that this is ported from lacks trackball support.

Maybe I'll dig into the trackball support that one of the other Eris developers (Conap ?) implemented.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
I was able to get trackball lights working on evervolv3 using a market app called light flow, so there must be some level of support in the rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
The trackball light flashes on incoming calls so the hardware support is there. I also just tried out the light flow app and it is able to control the led and trackball light so thank you klobkelosh for pointing that out. So some code needs to be added to the ROM and possibly add some options to the settings menu. What all would you like to use the trackball light for?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I dug in a little bit and the ROM includes lights.desirec.so as well as /system/xbin/lights.sh script. I PM'd Conap and he mentioned that the boot.img file needs to run that lights.sh script and based on the fact that the trackball doesn't do it's (3) flash 'test', I'm leaning towards the boot.img file needing looked at... I don't know how to un-pack it to look though (yet).

You could take the easy way out and just point people to Light Flow :) I'm using it since it was suggested.

I mainly want it for SMS/MMS, e-mail, and missed calls (?).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
The boot.img for this rom comes from the cm7 repo. It might just need the path changed.?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Hey MAC. Extract boot img. Init desirec. At the bottom should have that path there..if not extract mine and copy it to urs
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'll try that tonight. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Where does the "menu" (to configure the settings) come from ? On CM-based ROMs, it was a sub-menu of "CyanogenMod Settings" (not sure exactly what it's called).
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Mine runs lights.sh on every boot and the trackball flashes for ~3 seconds that is determined by "sleep 3" in the script. Does yours not? If you want to test it manually, go into terminal emulator or adb shell and run the command:

echo 3 > sys/class/leds/jogball-backlight/brightness

That should turn the trackball light to it's quick flashing mode until you change it. To turn it back off, replace the "3" with "0". To get the slow flashing mode, use "echo 7".
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
It does flash during boot after all. If I recall on other ROMs, it seemed like it flashed during a 'black screen' whereas on this, it does it when the androids are on-screen (with a white background).

Problem still remains that there's no way (obvious) way to configure the trackball (or LED for those who want that).
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
LED/trackball control for notifications will need to be added to the Settings.apk so until then, the light flow app can be used for those that want to. Somewhat related is about another app I've been using after becoming dependent on a CM7 feature...I loved being able to change screen brightness by just dragging across the status bar and have found a great app to do something similar(better even?) in other ROMs. It's called InvisiBright and it opens invisible brightness controls after long-pressing the search button. Very handy.

Back to Evervolv stuff. I'm not sure when a new update will be put out but it will most likely be built from source as preludedrew would like to add the device tree to have pure Eris builds. This way it won't have to be ported from the heroC version and will be automatically built with the other supported devices. I'll keep everyone updated on what's going on and when to expect things.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stagnation1:
I'm loving this ROM so far. It's been stable and seems to be very fast on my phone.

I have one question. The included music app is lacking in features. It doesn't display the album art on the lock screen (minor issue) and there doesn't appear to be any track skip feature without waking the phone up (I like to use vol +/- or trackball to skip tracks so I don't have to look at the phone while driving). Can I replace it with the Android music app from another ROM and get those features or are the hardware button controls set in the ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
You can almost certainly add a different music app. Whether or not it will integrate with the hardware buttons, can't say....

Remember, if it's an APK file, just try and install it. You really can't harm anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Might want to check the lock screen sizing. It appears off on the right side of the rotary style lock screen

Edit: also I'm loving this. It seems a lot more stable than cm
