Oh, I knew I should've just added that to the URL, but I figured it wouldn't be that simple. Hehe... Thanks for the other link, too.

I'll test it with already using the SuperCharger then.

Now that you mention it, I do remember, at least under Tests 1 and 2, that the phone would do that at least sometimes after a reboot. Are you using Test 3, and if you are with the .29 Kernel or .35 Kernel? I'm using Test 3 with the .35 Kernel.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

First observation, lemonoid's services.jar file does match the MD5 he gave, but it's different (and slightly smaller) than jaebond's. I haven't really looked into specifically what needs doing to the services.jar file to make it work with SuperCharger, so I don't know if there's anything wrong with them being different from each other, but it's interesting.

Ah! Okay, lemonoid's services.jar is I think for the ROM link in the OP, I'm guessing anyway. I used the web service on my services.jar and it was identical to the one you provided, jaebond. Also, the mod website says "HTC Eris - Evervolv Beta 3 Test 3" and lemonoid's says "Droid Eris - AOSP 4.0.3 Evervolv".

I haven't had much time recently and heading out to meet some friends shortly but wanted to give people something to think about. I was considering how I could swing getting an Eris over to riemer in the Netherlands so he could work on the kernel with it in hand. Either finding someone here with an "extra" that they are willing to sell or from somewhere like eBay. I know it would help him a lot to actually have one if he does help us out and he's much more capable than I in terms of quick progress :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm going to repost this in General, I hope you don't mind; see if there's still anyone with a spare Eris visiting these forum sections.

Edit: Done, at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1649157. If you want me to remove this for any reason, just let me know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I'm on Test 3 with the .35 kernel. Now that I'm keeping an eye out for it more, I've only seen it happen after a reboot, so that might be the issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mad5870:
I have an extra Eros. The trackball doesn't work though. I have the trackball optional recovery on it.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Works for me.

I'll send you a PM. The trackball won't be an issue since it's not something that needs fixed in the .35 kernel.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I have been paying more attention and I get the call flashing of the trackball sometimes when I get a text message, even if my phone hasn't just booted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I assumed that it should, and I personally want it to do that, as a notification (in case I'm away from my phone for a minute). Not too disimilar at least to some options available in the past. Not sure if that can be turned off somewhere if you don't want it to do that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I have seen the more flashtastic trackball notif and is my guess is that it has something to do with the led kernel driver. In the ROM, I have set the trackball light as default for notifications instead of the green charge led but that can be changed back depending on what people prefer. I haven't played around with Light Flow on the Eris but I do use it on my gnex and it might work well here too.

[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I wonder which uses less battery, if there's much difference? In general, I'd probably be inclined to use the charge LED for notifications and keep the trackball for calls. I haven't tried Light Flow at all...yet.

Thanks!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Ok, I'm thinking I'm going to build and release 2.2.0b1 this weekend. I'll include the tried and true .29 kernel but link to the .35 WIP kernel for those that want to use it.

There are still things that need fixed/updated in the ROM and plenty of things to work on with the .35 kernel but it will be good to put out an update with all the changes since the last official release was a while back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] misterx51:
since this is the only active ICS dev thread, i'll post this here. apologies if i'm doing it in the wrong place.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/18/htc-desire-c-hands-on-video/

how is this possible?? does anyone think we can use it to help us run ICS smoother on the eris? ya know, given that it's also an HTC and a Desire series... not to mention, it's only running on 600 MHZ 0_o i'm normally OC'ed to 710 MHZ and not nearly as smooth as it
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Interesting. It's too bad it's running on an ARMv6 or v7 CPU (depends on what particular model of Snapdragon S1 CPU it has). Also, if it is indeed one of the S1's in this list http://goo.gl/s4EHd then it uses the Adreno 200 GPU, although one commenter re: this Desire C said it had no GPU, but the only non-GPU S1's run stock 528MHz (Like our ARMv5 MSM7600), so either they overclock a non-GPU CPU, they disable the GPU, or they use a newer S1 model not in that list.

I would guess that would have the most impact on how easy it would be to use, but I'm not a dev. There's still the fact that it would be ARMv6 (again, according to the list, and I doubt if they'd go so far back as to use v5).

I hope it can be used, at least somehow if not directly. Thanks for the info. :)

Edit: Ah, according to that list, the Desire C uses the ARMv7 MSM7225A which uses an enhanced Adreno 200 and runs stock at 600 OR 800 MHz (not sure if there's sub-models of these S1 CPUs, one for 600MHz and one for 800MHz). They might still disable the GPU, and even if I ask myself why would they, companies have done that sort of thing before.

Sounds like the Desire C has a more basic camera than the Eris. They said it's fixed-focus, or is the Eris "fixed-focus" too? Fixed-focus makes me think of basic flip-phone cameras and old cheap and/or disposable 35mm cameras.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
OP updated with new build and gapps. Hopefully no big problems but let me know.

The smoothness for that phone is due to two main things imo. First is the adreno 200 gpu for hw acceleration...the eris has a kinda-sorta gpu in the adreno 130 which doesn't have opengl 2.0 support among other deficiencies. The other big advantage is that it's built for ICS so the kernel, proprietary libs, drivers, etc are all compatible and made to work well in ICS unlike the Eris who's official support ended at Froyo. It is interesting that the Desire C basically takes the Eris' codename, desirec, as it's actual name :).
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks!!! Will probably test tomorrow night.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I believe we are ARMv6 (although this is moot as you later pointed out the DesireC is ARMv7.

Not exactly rock solid evidence, but http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_droid_eris-3428.php says we are ARM11 and Wikipedia says that is ARMv6 architecture.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, it is. It just feels like we're two generations behind by now. LOL.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pandasaurus:
Any idea when the GPU hardware acceleration issue will be resolved?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Not very likely ever, probably about as likely as Flash working on the Eris. There isn't any ICS driver for our Adreno 130 GPU, or some such (have only partially paid attention to the details). It would take HTC releasing a driver for it, I think.

I think that MongooseHelix has resolved the issue just as well as possible, by disabling hardware acceleration, it lets us run ICS at all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
thanks for the update mongoose

did anyone else see that playing videos from sdcard in quickpic is no longer choppy? its awesome!
[Droid Eris Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
Rom won't install just sits on making system links part.. Help please
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I still haven't had a chance to test the new release; I rarely watch video anyway, but it is good to hear!

Did you try checking the MD5 hash of the ROM Zip you have on your SD card, and compare it to that in the OP? Could be a bad download. Can you still flash any other ROMs or restore a nandroid you've made?
[Droid Eris Android Development] vk4559:
this s great that we have the option to upgrade to ICS...i dont know if this is just mine but i am having problems logging into to my yahoo mail and gallery view...other than that its great keep it up
[Droid Eris Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
I was able to install GSB 4.5 CM 7.2... something probably went wrong I was installing using adb commands... haven't tried it again...
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
As roirraW said, it is a major challenge to get hw acceleration working in any form with so many things standing in the way. No proprietary gpu libs built for ICS, a very outdated gpu that doesn't have opengl es 2.0 support, and the multitude of kernel updates to try and get things to play nice. I'm not saying it's impossible but no one should be holding their breath or expecting it to happen.

How were you installing it? While in recovery, you can pull or view the tmp/recovery.log file to see if it tells you anything about what it's having problems with in the flashing process.

Are you using the Email app to log into yahoo mail or does it have it's own app or with the browser? And maybe I'm just being slow but what gallery view are you referring to?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
Will do thanks... Besides this how its running? . I want to try it while I wait for ICS on my thunderbolt lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Since the Eris lacks opengl es 2.0, the google music(aka play music) app doesn't work for us so I built and tried out the Apollo music app. It was created by adneal which has a very similar look and feel to play music and is now starting to be included in cm9 builds. Since it has worked for me so far, I thought some of you might want to try it out. Features include lockscreen music control, notification music control, equilizer, theme capability, and more probably. See the attached zip that you can flash in recovery to install it.

Apollo overview
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
It has some issues here and there but overall it's running fairly well. Others who use their Eris more than me can expand on that since my gnex can make it hard to judge objectively :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I've been gone most of the day today and heading back out for dinner here in a little bit but will be trying out a few things tonight to get better touchscreen functionality going. That's my top priority since it's hard to even know what is or isn't working when it's so cumbersome to not be able to scroll and have to drag and click the pointer. There's a long list of stuff to fix but really I'm surprised that it's booting with 3G data, sms, calls(no mic yet) working and possibly wifi/bluetooth also.

I'm very optimistic about this getting functional and stable enough to be a daily driver. I have my own ideas, will be collaborating with some other devs on various phones, and utilizing solutions that others have come up with and are willing to share.

I was in the Verizon store getting a 4G sim card for the tbolt I bought on the cheap and considered showing off my Eris but it would have gone right over the head of the guy helping me. He didn't even know what a custom ROM was :rolleyes:. It's been interesting to see the reactions and comments about how the crappy Eris is running this very early alpha build of ICS. Reddit, xda frontpage, twitter, my local nerd friends...let's continue to blow their minds :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragonrazorz:
thank you and congrats to everyone involved in the makin of ics on eris and makin it this far so early, its really cool and this Eris just wont stay down lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
LOL doesn't seem to want to
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I have a build also bro...ill let u know where it goes man I have leads to follow up on ill let u know where it goes
[Droid Eris Android Development] disconnecktie:
I can't wait to try this when the touchscreen issues get solved.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DowneyJM:
Many thanx to Mon, shed, CS and tazz! The ERIS is lucky to have u guys! Wish I could run it right now but earlier my micro started giving me damaged or unreadable notifications and freezing at random times, so pulled the card and that bisch had a crack all the way thru it!! Damn I gotta wait til tomorrow now!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] kaassaus:
Do you know how to fix the touchscreen because on the wildfire whe have the same problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Working Touchscreen

Working touchscreen! :D

I'll update the OP with a new alpha build shortly.

Thanks goes to stritfajt who found an idc file that worked for his gsm hero and shared that info with us. I should of had it included a day or so ago but I hadn't got around to trying it as I was busy trying to get various repos/sources set up that I'll be using. Luckily the jaybob413 from the heroc tested it and let us know it had worked for him. Now it will be much less painful to work on the other issues :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
WOOT!!!

so, how long till it'll be a daily driver? lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
OP updated with Alpha2.

Any day now...;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
I wonder how much memory ICS uses? I mean the phones out now have 512/768/1024MB ram.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
i just flashed alpha 2, and the touchscreen doesn't work properly, i'm gonna try downloading again, but it was working as described in the first version (little circle and the pointer)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I just downloaded and flashed from the link I posted in the OP to make sure and it's working for me. Maybe you got the first alpha before the OP got updated? Check the md5sum to make sure it's uncorrupted and the correct zip.
[Droid Eris Android Development] disconnecktie:
Downloaded and flashed. Looks promising. I can't wait to try it again when data is working.
[Droid Eris Android Development] OldManJames:
How did you fix the touchscreen?. You have stuff on git?

Just curious if it will apply to other HTC phones

[Droid Eris Android Development] Pauly2277:
I tried alpha 2 an the touch screen isn't working right for me either... Were I touch is offset and I have to use the trackball or touch the screen in another place to click
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
I pm asking how they got it working got a reply with some information, I forwarded it to touchpro(he's working on dinc2 ICS rom) he never replied if it helped. I just wanted to send a huge thanks to all devs involved on ics rom, thank you, you guys are awesome, If there's anything I can do to help development please feel free to let me know. Thanks for the information on touchscreen mongoose helix.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
That's exactly what it's doing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
great progress guys. i hope the ram wont be the issue. gonna wait until it gets closer to beta to try it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sorullo_xgrx:
:D thanks man. My Eris is not connected but this looks pretty good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Actually, there are some Flash for ARMv6 apps floating around. I have a 10.1 version from awhile ago that seemed to work just fine, though I rarely use it and haven't tried it with ICS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I believe you. Personally I've never actually had enough need for Flash for me to try very hard. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
So far so good, I flashed the ROM, new GAPPs, and the .35 kernel right away. I changed the max CPU to 806, which my phone handles, I've left the governor on SmartAssV2 for now. Everything seems faster and more stable than before, no crashes yet, which I sometimes had while performing some kinds of functions with Titanium Backup and system apps.

I'm going to use this as stock as possible unless there's something I can't stand. If the dialer is too slow I'll go back to Dialer2 or DialerOne. If I decide to use wallpapers/Wallpaper Changer again, I'll go back to Zeam Launcher. Same for the Evervolv Notif Toolbox, I'll go back to Notification Toggle if I don't like it enough.

Once I have the phone set up to my satisfaction, I might flash the .29 kernel back on for comparison.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MrSpartan:
Been using this for awhile and has filled me with awe, thank you MongooseHelix :D . Also, I'd like to share something that has more provided efficacy on this rom. It's called Jakebitedmod V18, http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8597-mods-jakebitesmods-v18-for-all-rooted-phonesbeta-mods/page__st__0

All the details are enunciated on the page, however the link is dead to download the mod. Hence I have provided it for you, to avoid any forecoming turbulence.

http://www.2shared.com/file/HfTOqB8Z/signed_JakebitesModsv18-Univer.html

Once again, thank you Mr. Helix for providing ICS on the Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I screwed up my order of installing things (don't feel like going into detail) so I re-flashed from scratch but this time just stuck with the .29 kernel. I can tell that several things go a lot faster under the .29 kernel than the .35 kernel, unfortunately. The speed with which it downloads and installs from the market and the speed of loading apps are the obvious examples.

@MongooseHelix, this time through my normal course of going through the settings and changing them to my liking, I seem to have missed an option I know I came across on my previous flash of this earlier today: Can you or anyone tell me where I saw the option (checked by default - I want to uncheck) to add icons of newly installed apps to the home screen?

I must be blind. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
That option is annoying and shouldn't be the default behavior. To turn it off open up the Play Store, go to the menu -> settings -> uncheck the auto-add widgets option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you! :) Yep, it shouldn't be default.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pandasaurus:
Is there some kind of script I can run in terminal to permanently turn OFF the soft key lights?

They go out intermittently when I use the phone, but they're usually on.

I find them blindingly bright, and I don't need to see them in the dark since I've been using this phone for three years; they're committed to muscle memory.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I feel that I may be narrowing down what's eating my battery so fast. In yet another attempt to solve it, I had again charged full, deleted the battery stats and wiped Dalvik, rebooted and then unplugged. I did this yesterday about 24 hours ago. My phone hasn't lasted this long since I started using this ROM.

I mainly want to keep using this ROM for the GPS stability (NO REBOOTS, EVER!) because I go different places for work every day. So since I had unplugged it yesterday the only thing I had done on the phone was play a lot of Tetris. I decided to test a theory that either a particular app, having used either WIFI, the phone (calls), or text messaging might cause the phone's battery percentage to drop like a two ton weight and really right before my eyes, even long AFTER I stop doing any of those things. It was even doing this when I stayed in one place (at my girlfriend's) for a long time, so that eliminates the cell phone signal (or lack of, which I don't) causing the drop in battery %.

I turned on my WIFI a couple hours ago to check for app updates, I updated one app, then shut off the WIFI. I rarely use 3G, by the way. I'm on PagePlus with only 100MB per month on my plan. Checking back over the next hour, the phone still hadn't noticeably lost any battery strength.

THEN, I received a phone call, and some texts right after. My battery started losing % at a ridiculous rate. Once I was sure it was doing so (lost 6%+ while doing nothing AFTER getting off the phone call and had checked the text messages), I used the Reboot menu to perform a Hot Reboot, and the battery has been steady ever since, only going down 1% shortly after it finished booting all the way (all startup processes loaded).

I have no idea if it could make any difference if I use a third-party texting app. I might try that next if I do narrow it down to after having received texts.

Thoughts?

Sorry, man, I don't have any knowledge on this subject. If noone else speaks up you'll have to do some searching in case someone has researched this possibility. Have you asked in Eris General just in case?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I was trying to add an app to the top mapping on the lockscreen and I got this message:

"Operation Aborted!

An unlock is necessary, please set a target to unlock before continuing."

Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I received that, too, although I hadn't on previous test versions. What solved it for me was to explicitly assign one of the shortcuts (even the default one) to Unlock first, then I was able to do what I wanted with the other two.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pandasaurus:
Yeah. And I found a solution when I was on GSB: there was something I could change in the CyanogenMod menu. All the scripts I've tried work for like a minute, then the light turn back on. :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Anything new going on?
[Droid Eris Android Development] woodmaster:
Anything?

http://t.co/ldGbwi1x
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Does anyone have the supercharged services.jar file for the latest version? My computer is out of commission and my fiancee's isn't playing nice with my phone.

On a side note, is there a way to go back to where tapping the settings button in the notification bar would bring up the toolbox? You can't swipe when your notifications are full.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You should be able to go to this link http://android.mimic.ca/download/765f9c9104d707db33eecf7a73700907/htc-eris-eligo-22b1 in your phone's browser and download the appropriate file (flashable zip or the other). Note that if you use Titanium Backup at all, and especially if you use it to move apps to system/app or to integrate updates to system apps, that you can expect force closes from all of the apps including Titanium Backup itself, upon booting up.

I think I pretty much worked around it by applying the flashable zip before I ever even installed Titanium Backup. I don't know what the reason is for this behavior, but I've reproduced it several times. zepp didn't express much interest when I mentioned it in the V6 thread.

You probably already know this, but you should make a nandroid before you apply the changed services.jar in either way, and wipe Dalvik after.
