[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
To skip tracks using the volume buttons either the ROM(eg. CM7) or the music app itself needs to have that feature implemented. The only app I can think of that has that option is PlayerPro. It is expensive so that might rule it out but I tested the trial version today and it is nice and the volume button skipping works. PlayerPro Trial market link. It could be added as a setting option in a future update so we'll see.

Can you describe what you notice about the layout a little more? Maybe post a screenshot also. On my phone it looks alright unless I'm missing something.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
It does that when dpi is set to 140 but looks fine at 160.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Glad you caught that, I completely forgot about the dpi changes since I always keep mine at 160.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Using the high density 140DPI zip fixed it. But the rotary portion of the lockscreen doesnt reach the edge of the right side of the screen. I'll revert back in a bit and post a screenshot
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:

Here's what I'm talking bout
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Build 4 comes with the dpi set to 150 and the high-res density zip lowers it to 140 whereas the stock res density zip gives you a 160 dpi. I manually edited the build.prop to set ro.sf.lcd_density=160 before flashing the ROM and haven't come across any layout issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
I live the eris at 150dpi, seems bigger to me. Anyhow, if you change to tabs for unlock, the problem goes away.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I'm using the latest deodexed version and I just saw it. But that's the only thing I noticed wrong. Everything else is clockwork
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm hoping to have a new build out shortly for testing unless I run into problems. I've been getting the Eris device tree set up for Evervolv and think it's ready for action. Preludedrew has put out a test build for the supported devices which updates to android 2.3.5. It's building from source on my linux machine as we speak so once I make sure it flashes and doesn't go crazy, I'll upload it and post a download link.

I'm also going to send pull requests to have the Eris stuff merged into the Evervolv source on git. I figured I better get this going so we can have official builds too
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Test Build

Edit: links removed since I started a new "official" thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220473

This test version has been compiled using the latest Evervolv source. I'd recommend you do a full wipe, flash the ROM, then flash gapps.

Evervolv-desirec-1.2.0b1-TEST.zip - 64.2 MB

MD5 Sum:251aada391ee862ece66b139b74bc37f

gapps_20110613.zip - 5.6 MB

MD5 Sum:87ffe96c5e94531d96d018e09c701581

I have it running on my phone and so far so good. If you try it out and run into any problems let me know so I can look into getting them fixed.

Issues I've noticed:

* battery usage is unavailable both in settings and spare parts

* force close in preferences->launcher style for stock Creo launcher

* after connecting to wifi, phone signal icon shows no signal(placing a call fixes it)

* terminal emulator doesn't show up as installed although included as system/app

* EV settings interface option to hide AM/PM requires reboot
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Hehe, I gave Mac sh*t about him not including Terminal Emulator previously and maybe it was there after all !! Does running the 'UID mismatch' option in Amon's Recovery bring the icon back ?

Did the Evervolv people indicate any significant changes on the back-end ? If not, I'll give it a try but won't do a full wipe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm not sure why it doesn't show up but it fixing uid mismatches doesn't help and unless I missed something, the logcat during boot doesn't give any clues. For now I'll just install the market version.

You can try just wiping cache/dalvik-cache and if you have problems, do a full wipe. Here's a list of changes I know about:

* updated to 2.3.5

* Creo Lancher - evervolv w/ hide-able dock, gingerbread, & froyo styles

* stock messaging app options for 160 char msg splitting & split msg counter

* power widget indicator images updated from 3 dots to full bar
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Okay, I gave it a try... I only did a dalvik wipe too. When I did, I had 'data' issues, i.e. no internet connectivity. I know what people are saying: Do a full wipe. Thing is, the ROM does do a full wipe of /system when it installs and that's where the core stuff is, so I really wonder if a /data wipe would make a difference.

I knew something was odd when my power-widget's 'data' icon was turned off and I couldn't turn it on. Toggling airplane mode didn't help, nor did a reboot. I re-installed the previous version (while driving home ! :D) and immediately got data back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I can say that with a full wipe, I have not had any data/connectivity issues. While flashing a rom does format the system partition, we must remember that the data partition is intertwined with the system and contains references, system app data, configs, etc for the previous system files. There are both large and small differences in updating to gingerbread 2.3.5 which could easily account for you connectivity problem. If you have the time/desire, try making a nand backup of your current working setup, do a full wipe, then flash this test build. I'd bet that fixes it. Either way, thanks for the feedback...full wipes are a bummer but a necessary evil sometimes.

Update on the Eris becoming an officially supported device:

* device tree repo now forked into Evervolv

* this weekend the other necessary additions/mods to Evervolv source will be merged

* must decide on a short latin word for the Eris' evervolv codename(I'm considering Eligo which means "to pick out, select, choose" but feel free to post your own suggestions)

* a new thread will be made soon so I can keep things organized and so mac & I won't have to worry about any OP presto change-o shenanigans

And by the way, I for one welcome the long overdue "Operation Iron Fist":

http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=263
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Congrats, MongooseHelix. Good luck with everything on this and welcome to the asylum :) lol. Lokking forward to seeing more from you and I also wanted to second your last line. I too fully support and welcome "Operation Iron Fist" :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Thanks! My goal will be to get this ROM in the same ballpark for speed and smoothness as Condemned CM7. And you better not leave anytime soon so I won't feel compelled to take up a CM7 ROM as well haha. I already have a growing list of things I want to tweak/fix/mod for Evervolv once the set up is all done(tonight maybe).

On another note, I was hoping anybody interested in using VPN who needs a compatible tun.ko module can let me know if the one I posted here works or not:

[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
You should aim higher :) LOL. Don't worry. I'll be around here at least til Christmas maybe longer.

Looking forward to hearing the results on the new module. I'm getting ready to work on a little project myself that I hope to have some test links up for this weekend. Hopefully there will be some interested individuals :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Wanted to let you all know to keep an eye out for a new Evervolv thread. I'll have it up sometime between now and midnight ET(~18 hrs from now). The ROM is all ready to go as everything device specific is merged, the bugs I came across have been squashed, and it's running well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] snortman:
Mongoose,

Thanks for picking up the updates on this rom. I did like it except for the gps crashes I was having with v4 (Adidas miCoach would lose GPS signal after 30 seconds and never find it again). Looking forward to trying the next release.

[Droid Eris Android Development] sjpritch25:
I'll give it a go tomorrow. Its late.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Anyone have luck with the Market auto-reinstalling apps ? I thought there was a recent version of Google Apps that did it (previous versions for a long time no longer did and the current one, 0613 (?), doesn't either, at least in my experience). That's my only complaint about doing full wipes.... that is, having to reinstall my apps.

Thanks Mac for letting me use this thread as a temporary home!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
No problem mongoose! If you need anything along the way, let me know! Congrats on the official release bro!

Mods, you can officially close this thread.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
I used Macro's flashable update and it did make the font and icons bigger, which to me looks more 'natural' on the Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
Some of the other things I've noticed: 1. This boots faster than any other ROM I've used in the past, even on the first boot after originally flashing, which is great. 2. Going from portrait to landscape on the home screens on this rom actually works fast enough that I like the idea. In the past I've always turned it off since it takes so long to switch over.

So far so good!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
The 1st entry will take precidense over the other, but there should only be one. One line has a # sine in front, making it a comment field. You might have changed that one instead of the setting line.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Yeah, entries with a "#" in front don't count, they're comments as you say. Look again... I think you'll see it really listed twice. :) The second one is buried in the middle of a bunch of other misc options/settings.

First one:

# density in DPI of the LCD of this board. This is used to scale the UI
# appropriately. If this property is not defined, the default value is 160 dpi.
[B]ro.sf.lcd_density = 160[/B]

Second one:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=240
[B]ro.sf.lcd_density=160[/B]
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Big ooops! I totally missed that. Thanks for pointing that out hall! I'll have it cleaned up on the next update.

The second occurance can be removed then...

Thanks,

Rich
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Looking at a lot of build.prop files from different ROMs, I get the feeling they start with a base file and add to it. Then the next guy adds his settings to it. And the next guy adds.... There's so many settings it's hard to make sure entries don't get duplicated (or triplicated) !!

I tried researching on which setting takes precedence as I seem to recall it's the last one, as I mentioned above. I'm by no means positive on that though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
That's exactly how it is... With the MacRom versions, I took one build.prop and filtered out all the stuff I didn't need, then saved it as a template. I only update the version and build information when I update so it matches. This one I didn't spend that time on it. I've been working through the information on that and now have a template for future updates, so the file won't get confused and overpopulated with things that I don't need (like duplicate settings...).

There was a rom from the Wildfire that I started to port a while back that was like that... It started from the desire, got ported to the wildfire and the build.prop was basically 2 devices merged together! Surprised it worked...

I'll have an update Friday, so this will get all cleaned up. I will also clean up the OP and have some add-on's linked in so everyone has options for settings (Fonts, DPI settings, etc...). :D

Edit: After reviewing the Dev's site, they haven't had any updates on this since May, so Friday's update isn't going to change much (just cleaning up the files and adding in a few tweaks).
[Droid Eris Android Development] adaneshade:
Well, I've been using the odex version of this rom with gaming supercharger setting all day.

So far, I haven't encountered a single thing that could be construed as negative. Excellent work on the port.
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Wow this sucker is fast! Install and the standard setup went fine with no issues to note.

More of a preference comment but that font is a bit hard for me to get used too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
In case anyone asks, Conap's CCName app doesn't appear to work on this ROM. This ROM has a built-in tool that does the same though. Can't remember where I found it at the moment though... :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
EverVolv settings/lockscreen settings/lockscreen carrier name... Something like that. No need to reboot when you change it, either...
[Droid Eris Android Development] aceof89:
Three points

Liking this ROM so far. 3 things:

I found the Navigation when auto-switching to landscape had trouble displaying, like it would flicker. Roll back to Portrait and it was fine.

I wonder if there is a comparable Notification Area like the CM7's have. I miss the easy accessed icons for wifi, mute, etc.

Can't figure out how to edit the Launcher bar. I know I can change launchers if necessary.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
The wiki has links to flash the stock DroidSans fonts: http://wiki.evervolv.com/index.php/Using_Stock_Fonts. They're Clockworkmod ZIPs so not sure if they are signed or if you can flash from AmonRa recovery or not. You could also try the flashable zip on Condemned Soul's OP (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030346 - it should work on any GB rom). Also, you could always use adb to push the stock font in (or font of your choice; i like ubuntu like in OMGB).
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Roirraw suggested in one of his app / theme posts an app called widgetsoid 2.x. It's not CM but looks to do the same thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Thanks and I will check that out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
A question for you Macrodroid. Is the current port based off of that May release or the latest nightly from the 17th that preludedrew posted on his twitter?

http://twitter.com/#!/preludedrew/status/81611927301791744
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
My experience with flashable font packages that mention Clockwork is that it will NOT work with Amon's recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
The included launcher is, as I mentioned to Mac, limited. The benefit of a lack of features is, of course, usually *speed*. Per Mac's suggestion, I loaded LP. That or Go! launcher are my preferred.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
This is off the May release... I've got the latest nightly downloaded, not many changes from what I'm seeing... Not sure how often they update, but I'm shooting for weekly updates here...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'm planning an update on this for Friday... The update will basically be the same Rom we have here, just some of the debris cleaned out. I'm going to put this Rom on a diet and lean it out more. I'm also going to include a lot of options in the OP, including MIUI Camera replacement, Fonts (Chrome Font, Stock Font, EverVolv Font, and a few others), Launchers (Additions to the stock Launcher), Turn It to Eleven (and Turn it Back to Stock - Tried the Eleven flash before, a little TOO loud on my phone, so I made a Flashback), Miren Browser, MIUI Clock Widget, HoneyBread Theme, etc...

My Intent is to keep the base of this Rom lean, allowing the user to add on whatever they want all from this thread. If there's anything you guys want added on, please let me know so I can add it to my list. Also, don't feel shy about asking for something bundled together so you don't have to flash half-a-dozen files (IE: Launcher Pro with the MIUI Clock and Camera in one file...). I've got no problem putting a little effort into supplying what we want (as long as it's on the Market as a free app...).

There are still some quirks with this Rom, one I noticed is flashing the DeOdexed version over the Odexed will cause the launcher to stop updating your widgets when you shut your screen off (Screen timed out this morning at 7:35am - Went to lunch at 11 and it showed 7:35am! - Restored the Odex version and it works fine again.). I am hoping that leaning it up will clean the issues out.

Out of curiosity, what's everyone's opinion about hard-theming this Rom like I did with Macrom? Not sure if I can keep up with it, but I might be able to turn a themed version out over the next week or so... Also, any opinions on the Odexed version vs. the DeOdexed?

And, of course, THANKS for the support!!! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Forgot to mention this one... Camera zoom is restricted to 2x again. I have the flashable zip from your previous CM-based ROM and could give it a try.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pablocasiano:
im really diggin this rom so far,nice and clean, very responsive,will report any issues if i run into one,awesome job!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Should work on any gb rom...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Thanks! Glad you like the rom!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
And for the record, it does :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Decon1:
First Awesome effort!

Fonts WAY too small for the aged :-)

Launcher is TRULY minimal - couldn't edit dock bar only change shortcuts.

Had to download an Overclock app

I like a very simple black carbon-fiber skin. Had to make one.

SWYPE didn't play nice here and the 3.0 Beta wouldn't hold on reboot.

In all it's a choice......that's a good thing.

Decon
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I appreciate the kind words...Thanks. :)

Choice is what it's all about... sorry to hear it didn't work out for you on this release...
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I suspect that if you changed the default DPI to 160 from 140, not many would complain...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Yep... don't know why that build.prop was set at 140 though...
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Really enjoying this. Installed arial as the font with font changer. D/l CPU boost. Wow! Great port by you. Well done!

Using de-odexed and using my own theme.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emarietta:
using the odexed version and it works perfectly. no scripts or overclock and it runs fast, probably my favorite rom i've used so far.. keep up the good work
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisboxx:
Seems like this rom is prettyy tight,

Downloading..
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
Been running the de-odexed version for a day now and it's smooth as butter. Have not run into any issues or problems. ROM is very snappy at stock CPU speeds as well.

The kitchen just added support for statusbar animations and it does work for this ROM! I'm using the "Matrix" one right now and it looks pretty sweet

Once again, great job on porting this ROM
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Running odexed. Launcherpro notification bubbles on dock aren't working?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
You mean the notification counts? In using LP also, they're working fine so far...

More information and I'll investigate it further...
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Well I have the latest installed and the settings are turned on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Did a complete wipe with SD card reformat. Flashed the ROM, flashed gapps (gapps-gb-20110503-signed). During setup at the point when I would have expected gapps to pop-up for selecting the apps, it just went to finish setup.

Not a big deal I think, just got the apps from the market but thought I would report it in anyway.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
Not totally sure, but it might be because those gapps are for cm7.there are some gapps on the evervolv website
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Yep knew that but server was unavailable. Figured a gapps I had handy would do. Now I know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] spyderkoz:
Mac I decided to stay silent for 24 hour and test both of the styles of rom's next to each other and I have to say I like it great job bring this over and can wait to see what you do next with it. Good job bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'm looking into the app issue with this today. My apps loaded fine, but I just dl'd the 6/13 apps for cm7. I'll post those here today. Using the may apps might be the issue...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Thanks bro! I'm finishing up with the Macron mr6 update today, no nightly on EV yet, so I'm going to clean thus release up, strip it down and post a re-release for an update Friday... :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Update: Just missed a call and received a text. Launcher bubbles work for those but not for Gmail. Didn't really notice until my day started getting busy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
Adding to this, the gmail widget for LP + doesn't load messages. This is not the first ROM I've noticed this on, and its not a huge deal for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I'm going to check with the LP dev and see if this is an LP issue or rom/gmail, etc...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
EverVolv is going on a diet... Odexed version is @ 60mb, and I'm not done yet! Mr6 is ready to release tonight for macrom!
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Font changer seems like a cool program, and will also modify screen density. Thanks for the heads up on that one. Trying now...

Can anyone report on how google navigation works on this rom? Most eris gb roms where the gps doesn't loose position after 30 second will randomly reboot on navigation or force close maps/nav repeatedly. I assume this port uses the same kernels as other eris ports, so it may be prone to the same problems. Anyone try it yet? Feedback?
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
I used it on my 20 mile commute with no issues, including rerouting. Had no FCs or freezing.

Running de-odexed, stock CPU settings with HTK launcher, and balanced 3 settings

Edit: to add some thoughts. Every GB ROM I've noticed the gmail widget/noti balloon issue has been AOSP based primarily. And every ROM that has run the latest maps/navigation without problems was AOSP based or Tazz's Sense ROM, lol :D

My personal and semi aggregated experience from clicking F5 on XDA late nights working in the beautiful Pacific NW :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I've used Navigation twice on this ROM, for ~15 minutes at a time, with no issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Only 1 prob to report. Having prob updating ESPN app in market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Not sure what's going on with the ESPN updates... I'll DL and check it out in the morning...

Those experiencing issues with the Notification Bubbles for GMail, it looks like it's an LP thing... Ran through other device threads that are reporting the same issue. Most mention it's either LP or CM, but since this Rom isn't CM (for the most part, anyways... Framework is AOSP), I'm assuming it's an LP issue. The Dev hasn't responded back yet, as soon as I get a confirmation from him I'll report back to you guys!

Updates... I've leaned the Odex version out (removing some un-necessary files, or atleast I hope so...I'm going to test it in the morning. Removed some of the ringtones and notifications sounds as well). In all, I've gotten this version down to just under 60mb! The DeOdexed version should be a lot lighter! The stripped versions will be in addition to the posted Rom here, not a replacement. :D

Thanks!
