I installed p1 and went through the tips section. I use the device on wifi only and have no network connectivity, and so the time was off by several hours; I'm assuming that's because there was no network-provided time zone as in the settings. So I unchecked "automatic time zone" and tried to change the time zone but then I got one or two "not responding" popups and then it kicked me back to the settings menu. This is reproducible for me, although it does say "Verizon" on my lock screen now, so maybe I'm not tripping and there should be a time zone provided? I don't know what actually comes from the network when the device is deactivated.

I ended up unchecking "automatic date and time" and I set the time manually, so this is not a problem for me, but I thought maybe just something to add to your list of interesting quirks.

[edit] Also went to Settings -> Wireless & networks (More...) -> Mobile networks and tried to uncheck "enable network data" (I can't see it now so I can't tell you if that's the exact name of the checkbox) and I got the "not responding" popup, and then it kicked me back out to the "Wireless & networks (More...)" menu. But that was just the first time. Now I can't get into the "Mobile networks" settings anymore - if I get anything, it's a "not responding" popup. I searched the market for a widget to see if I can get it turned off that way, but none of the ones I tried seem to work properly. So I put it in airplane mode, and I didn't realize I can still use wifi that way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
If it's seeing the Verizon network, activated or not, it should be able to get the time automatically. Others might know for sure but I would think that even as wifi-only without cell signal the time would be correct and updated since it could get that info over wifi. I'll see what I can figure out on my end. Anybody else running p1 please reply here letting us know whether or not you are having issues with automatic time and if your eris is activated, wifi-only, neither, etc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] snowjumpstump:
Hey Mongoose,

I flashed Alpha 4 / Preview 1 today. Here's what I have seen:

Flashing:

Following your *Recommended Flashing Instructions* to a T, it flashed properly the first time. Also, did the first 3 *Tips* and that seemed to speed/smooth the experience.

Edit: I did also sync to my Google account.

Clock/Time Settings:

As far as greatbigdragon's clock issues, I didn't do anything to the clock settings and after I let it "settle" for a bit, the time automatically set itself. "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone" are currently checked and have been since I first booted.

Speaker and Mic:

Interestingly when making a call, the speaker and mic delay does not seem to be as long as when receiving a call. Making the call, it took about 2-3 seconds to be able to hear and be heard. Receiving a call, it took about 5-7 seconds.

Battery:

After first flash and leaving it on for a while, the battery became very warm. I took the back cover off and it cooled down eventually.

Wifi:

Wifi seems to connect, but the Wifi icon did not "fill in" even though I am in the same room as the device.

Market:

Can't seem to install anything from the Market. I don't know if this is a bad connectivity issue, but every time I try to install I get a dialog box that says:

Error

"Application Name" could not be downloaded due to an error.

I am able to navigate the Market though.

---

That's all I've been able to test so far. Will try later when I get home to see if I can download something when I have a stronger connection.

Hope that helps!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisboxx:
Any idea why I can't seem to gget any kind of service, no 3g no 1x no phone signal. Only wifi.
[Droid Eris Android Development] greatbigdragon:
Okay, I didn't give my Eris a chance to breathe very much before I started messing with it, so it might not have had a chance to get the time and date set, but I did have the issues with the time zone not showing (it put me in GMT) but I'll try it again when I get home with the wifi and all.

My battery didn't get warm that I noticed, but this might have something to do with the fact that I put this on a spare handset, and didn't have anything installed with that account except Runkeeper, so it might have been a lot of activity on your phone that was doing it.

Concerning your issue with the wifi indicator: I noticed this with mine too, but I'm not sure whether it's supposed to "fill in", because I noticed that when it's up/downstreaming, there are little arrows in it that show and flash. That might be all, but this is my first time seeing ICS so I could be totally off on that.

And finally, just my two cents on the Market issue you mentioned, I was able to install apps from the market. The widgets for disabling 3g didn't do me any good, and Runkeeper fc'd every time I tried to run it, though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I hadn't noticed the difference in making vs receiving delay, probably because I usually tested by making calls. Good to know.

I would attribute this to how the phone is constantly working hard throughout the boot and then trying to keep up with the demanding UI, Gapps, & animations. Being overclocked to 710 MHz also contributes to the heat I'm sure.

This is a bug and I'll add it to the OP. This is due to not sending all of the info/flags ICS is looking for from the wpa_supplicant which causes the statusbar icon not to show the signal strength.

I've had fairly good success with the market. Some things to try if you haven't already: reboot a time or two, clearing cache and data from the market app & google services, remove & re-add google account, or a combination of those. This seems to be a somewhat common problem on various ICS ROMs.Let me know if nothing helps.

That's odd. What radio are you using? I'm using 2.42.01.04.27 and have been getting signal alright here. If you are using the latest heroC one instead, you could switch and see if there's any difference. Also maybe try updating your PRL with *228 while on a ROM where you are getting service then flashing this again. One other thing to do if have adb setup, is to check what the radio buffer of logcat is showing:

adb logcat -b radio

Edit: fixed the logcat command...had the word buffer instead of radio
[Droid Eris Android Development] snowjumpstump:
Hey Mongoose,

Thanks for the above post. I can confirm that clearing cache and data from the Market app and clearing data from Google Services Framework, and then rebooting allowed me to download apps from the Market.

Also, OpenGL rendering and Accelerometer are working. Laggy, but not force closing.

Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] DowneyJM:
Great update again goose, its gettin better and better!

I had the time and market issue, i was 8 hrs ahead also set to GMT but after following your above advice the time corrected itself but the market just stayed on loading screen and eventually FC, but coulda been from lack of reception?? I was able to log into my Google acct, I also was getting FC when trying to access Mobile Networks in settings, im still having the phone issue where i manually dial a number and push send but nothing it just erases the number, no dialing screen, browser worked off and on but i think alot my issues are coming from lack of reception, i didnt run the 3g script cause i wanted to see your opinion if it would work or be pointless? I was able to install and run a few apps from SD including X Construct, FaceNiff and Roll A Joint even worked but my XDA Premium didnt :( I wanted to post on here with a "sent from Eris runnin ICS" bad but oh well, ill try again today
[Droid Eris Android Development] anubis2k3:
I'm running a different radio so that may be why I'm having the same issue. I let it sit for a while and it actually connected to Verizon once then lost it. I can confirm that I was able to send a text to my wife even when it said no service. Kinda weird....
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
DowneyJM, what 3G script are you referring to? As for xda premium, I think I had the normal tapatalk app installed and working but I could be wrong on that. Some of these issues with connecting to the network, data, time, etc could all be due to a change in ICS for libcore which jaybob found. He reverted the problem code in the source to the GB implementation and it fixed some lingering issues for him. He posted has included it in the HeroC ICS alpha but I haven't gotten around to reading if others have also noticed an improvement. I'll build it into the next update so you all can test it as well. I'll try and get that done tonight or tomorrow. With ICS stuff for the eris, dinc, tbolt(as of yesterday), and general Evervolv stuff, it's hard keeping up with everything :).

And having the Eris moved to the Legacy forums, again, just keeps me motivated to continue making it better and more active than plenty of phones XDA decided to keep on the main list. I'm looking at you legend, mytouch 3g slide, og droid/milestone + v2, wildfire, blade, and basically any windows phone. XDA makes themselves look pretty stupid when less than 3 weeks after this portal article, they banish 3/8 of those phones to the legacy forums. So much for how it "speaks wonders of the amazing talent housed within our development community" :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Wanted to say thanks for this. A great way to prepare for the GN.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I haven't had much time lately to post, but I want to say that this is awesome! I have been running it as my DD, and it has worked just fine. My only even semi issues are the volume deal (just because my phone is my alarm, so I've had to use my girlfriend's alarm) and Pandora/ESPN Radio aren't working (it seems like the same deal for both). I just want to say again how awesome this all is. Thank you!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Alpha 5 / Preview 2 now available in the OP. The changelog and download links can be found there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DowneyJM:
Damn goose, this is gettin good! I have good service and 3G all the time, i logged right into my Google acct, used browser without problems, accessed all settings with no FC, the time was correct, I did follow your tips and I believe it really help, will report back with more later, great job bro and everyone contributing to this, 10x thanx!! We'll show em who's legacy!!

Sent from my Eris running ICS
[Droid Eris Android Development] shuura:
Wow! Amazing work! My Eris will be happy. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] DowneyJM:
Go Launcher EX & GO SMS installed and running, themed with ICS Pro all in one, working very well, lookin good too, i think there is less lag with GO Launcher. It seems like im getting almost better service now, WIFI working, Titanium Backup Pro also installed and able to restore and use ANTI, Facebook, HackaDroid, aCCleaner Pro, ConnectBot, System Panel, XDA premium

I havent had one FC on an apk yet, except the game apparatus, but oh well I'd trade it for ICS any day!!!

The two things i did notice is, if i make a call the person can hear me and i hear them fine, but on an incoming call they cant hear me but i can hear them

Great job again to you and the crew workin on this!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] greatbigdragon:
Better? Faster? YES! The GPS appears to work, and Runkeeper does not FC when I start it. This is definitely an improvement; I did get a reboot after installing Runkeeper, opening, signing in, navigating the tabs, and letting the screen time out. I tried to turn it on by hitting the red phone button and waiting . . . two or three times. Then I unplugged the sync cable, replugged it, waited another 20 seconds and it came on and - reboot! But I'm not trying to reproduce it and I'm sure it was just a fluke.

Furthermore, it's got a hold of my network, nice and strong; again, I run my phone off-service but it does say "Verizon" on the lock screen and the time is correct. I was able to disable the network data without an issue, as well. I'm going to take this pup running with me and see how it works next to my Evervolv Eris, and report back if anything interesting happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
How long did you stay on the line to see if they could start hearing you? For me, it has been taking about 10s after answering for the mic to start working.

You'll probably get a reboot from time to time with things not being quite stable yet but hopefully not too often.

Interested to hear how the side-by-side comparison goes.

--------

The next build should have a working trackball thanks to drewis & preludedrew figuring out what files was needed. Accomplished by using the "dumpsys window" command to figure out what to name an idc and kl file which basically tells it to operate in navigation mode and perform a mouse click when pressed. Works on the inc and will be trying it out on the eris here shortly.

Edit: more details here and wherever it says heroc, replace with desirec.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
Wow this is pretty [Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.] cool. This is my first [Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.] time trying [Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.] ICS. I'm going to have to get used to [Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.] the new locations of settings being [Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.] at the top of the [Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.] screen.

;):D

Ok I'm just kidding around. But once again the Eris and the awesome developers for it have proven themselves. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] klobkelosh:
Goose, looking forward to trying this now that the eris has finally been retired. Just got my new galaxy nexus...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
This probably won't be any help, but on Alpha 4, I found that with the speaker issue, when I was listening to music, the song would come on quiet, and then I would hit the little list icon in the upper right corner, tap on the song I was listening to, and then it would pause for a few seconds and then 95% of the time would come on at the right volume. After the song, it would be quiet again, but I just had to redo the process and everything was good.

Quick question, is there any chance that the Cache2Cache script will work with this ROM? It was nice not having to stick all of my apps on my SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] champdr0id:
got bored waiting for s-off on my rezound. i'll be flashing this on my eris soon, just for fun :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Mine's coming tomorrow :) I'll now be able to use the gnex as my phone phone and can mess around freely with the others.

Once init.d scripts are implemented, cache2cache can be used again. I'll look into getting that support built into the ROMs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
Every one here with their rez and gnex. Lah ti da. I'm just chillin with my fascinate. I'll go 4g next month. I made sure to get a galaxy s phone for now so id have the best chances of an ics port.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DowneyJM:
So i installed script manager and ran the v6 supercharger & set it to balance 4 and after rebooting the first thing i noticed was there was no lag at all on bootanimation screen, it was flippin and spinnin around alot faster

also my phone probably rebooted itself 3 times throughout the whole day,

after running the v6 script it hasnt done it once

Ive been trying different launchers and Crazy Home works really well, im probably gonna stick with it for a minute,

Regina 3D launcher looked the best but the phone had alot of lag on the home screens and app drawer which is understandable with all the animations

the only issue ive had is not being able to sync my FB account

ive tried everything i could think of, i even installed the app F-Sync or some **** like that and it would sync contacts but not contact pics??

my google acct syncs fine and even an alternate e-mail acct will sync

Good job Lix and thanx again!! credit shed for "Lix" its the best nickname!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
So are we good to go on the Supercharger or is that another one that we need to wait for the init.d scripts for it to fully work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Coming soon to a ROM near you...

* fixed audio

* full trackball functionality

* possible partial or full bluetooth functionality

I won't be able to do a new build until later tonight or tomorrow since I'm heading out for a while but that's what you get to look forward to.

Be sure to direct many thanks to jaybob413 in the heroC forums as he came up with modifications to get working audio drivers and also got the trackball clicks to function properly. If you want to and are able, you can donate to jaybob413, he certainly deserves it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:
Can't wait! I always use my Eris because I'm a musician and I really wanted to flash this ROM but the audio issue was the only thing holding me back. This rom is going to be incredible
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisboxx:
Sad little Eris finally getting retired. It was a good little phone. Makes me sad unfavoriting all my eris roms. I guess all that's left to go down is my username..
[Droid Eris Android Development] antEris:
See you on the flip side rezoundboxx.

-antXperiaPlay (just doesn't have the same ring to it.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I say you keep the eris usernames to keep our beloved underdog phone's name out there :).

Sorry for the delay with the next update. I had some unexpected things come up today. If I didn't mess up the commits, we will now have init.d script support in the Evervolv builds. Before I can build for it though, I have to modify the eris repo structure because the Evervolv source structure has been revamped. Then I can make a build and post it up here. Thanks for your patience.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
How much longer till a gn port? Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Due to some lingering issues with the update to 4.0.3 base, I'm going to leave the link to a teaser build here and not update the OP yet. The main issue is that the stock browser and most 3rd party browsers do not work right now for us. However, you can download Opera mini from the market and it will work.

What's included in this teaser:

* working audio & mic

* trackball functionality

* init.d script support

* updated to AOSP 4.0.3 source base

Download Link
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I tried flashing Cache2Cache with the teaser and Unfortunately, Everything has stopped. It worked when I didn't flash Cache2Cache though. I'm gong to play around with it a little bit tonight and make sure that's what's going on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
I wanted to say that I encountered this too. And I've had that same file since I started flashing, so its not a bad download. Wiped, reflashed the rom and it worked .

With the c2c, I was constantly force closing
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisboxx:
Your right! ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] greatbigdragon:
Wow, this one is even faster and more responsive. As for the side-by-side review of Eligo vs. ICS a2 on Runkeeper. . . well, let's just say it ended quickly and that's why I carry something reliable as a "control" subject. But it was weird because it seemed to work, and then when I turned it on and unlocked the Eris to check on the app about 4 minutes later, it just flipped back to the main screen, trashing the data, and I was like, "done." but I also know this might be RK's fault or just some random thing, idk but I'm going to try it again in the morning!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Thanks for the feedback everybody. Since I no longer have my Eris activated, I'd appreciate it if somebody could let me know how calls, data, texts and mms are working on the teaser build.

Things I am or will be working on are the broken browser in 4.0.3, cache2cache, Bluetooth, .35 kernel testing for jaybob, and checking if any of the hw accel hacks can work for us.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Texts work perfectly, calls seem just fine (but I was okay with Alpha 4). I'll check out mms later on.

ETA: Both sending and receiving mms works fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
What is preventing this from becoming beta? I'm not too familiar with development but testing betas has been good to me, alphas a bit of a hassle. Would love to help the eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ToastPwnz:
From what I've observed dev's here like to have ROM's down to only one or two things not working/one or two bugs before they make the transition to beta, but thats just what I've noticed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Thanks for that. Good to hear those things are all good.

There are a few things I've taken into consideration for what to alpha and beta mean. One, as ToastPwnz pointed out, is having most everything working which would need to include all of the important stuff(touchscreen, calls data, audio). Another is how stable/usable the build is like not having random reboots and not running too slow/laggy. The last thing for me is that for Evervolv, we never move builds past beta(ala google and their products) because we are always going to be trying something out. That said, the next build is very likely to move to beta since most everything will be working and since this thread is about ICS development progress, not an Evervolv ROM specifically.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:
very descriptive :) Imma probably flash this today, Imma miss Sense UI but hey I can show off I got ICS lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Has anyone else been unable to load individual messages in gmail?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
cache2cache

The system wasn't wanting to follow the symlink so I modified the cache2cache script to bind mount instead. The script has some other general reworkings also. As long as you are running the teaser build it should work to flash the attached zip. I'll include it in all future builds.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
When I get home, I'll charge the Eris and then flash it .

You will only need fstab if you want to mount extra partitions other than your main sdcard, like an ext2 or swap partition. you can edit this file to match your partitions however the boot.img will mount mmcblk0p1 as /sdcard

and mmcblk0p2 is mounted as linux and ext2

the reason for this is I have ubuntu on my ext2, and apps2sd installed also so I increased my data partition by using this

the swap partition can be anysize and should now be mounted on boot.

soooooo, anything new?
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
Wow, the Eris has promise, this little phone could really be future proof if this build smooths out.

I am bringing my Eris out of retirement to play and help where I can.

this is awesome.

I haven't had any trouble with that.
