I looked and saw nothing 'out of sorts' in the logcat. Then after a few more failed tries to listen to non-stop music on my commute, I realized it was the same song it failed on every time. I have never seen this before, but a 'bad' mp3 was crashing everything. Confirmed by pulling the SD and watched the same song crash my wife's phone. I know it's not rom related, but has anyone ever experienced this?

Funny how simply taking a break makes everything come together, isn't it? I have decided to daily this ROM anyways...it's stable, quick and different...but ever so patiently waiting for future updates! Great work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
So I had this same trouble some with the last version too, but it seems like sometimes when I plug my charger in, my phone freezes and reboots.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Is there/could there be a way to remove vibrate as one of the options on certain things? For example, the volume control that is in the notifications toolbox (there is no way to put it on silent from there) or the volume control that can be put on the lockscreen. Or for the lockscreen, maybe have the volume settings toggle through sound/vibrate/silent.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tburns:
On not sure about this rom but get audio manager, that will give you the volume settings u need.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
It seems like this only happens when I plug both my charger and my headphones in at almost the exact same time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Wanted to let you all know that I just got the camera to load and it actually takes pictures but there's no preview showing. Just a blank screen...something to do with the HAL.

The audio settings and silent/vibrate in particular have a few bugs. The power dialog popup(long-press) allows you to choose which of the three settings you would like. There is a bug though that makes you have to choose full silent twice because the first time it goes to vibrate.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragonrazorz:

"Has anyone else been unable to load individual messages in gmail?"

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Haven't had time to research it.

If you have any insight, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kgunnIT:
I too have had this issue. The message list loads and I get notifications of new messages, but I cannot open any message. I have also noticed that some applications load a web page within the app, such as a login page (like Catch), won't load the page. My guess is that all of this is related to the stock browser not loading pages.

Other issues I have noticed:

I cannot install Pandora, I keep getting a Package invalid error. Some other applications, such as Words with Friends gives me insufficient space error (even though I have plenty of internal and external space).

Other than those issues, this is a great ROM and have been using it as my default ROM for about a week now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nagahtom:
Mongoose,

1st, just wanted to say great work with this ROM. Once again, you guys proved you can't kill the Eris. I'm due an upgrade, and right now, I'm hanging on to this little guy.

I've seen minor issues but that is to be expected.

Can you post the gapps bundle? I think re-installing that may fix the gmail issue.

In case anyone is interested, I installed V6_Supercharger and SetCPU and now the ROM runs as fast as most other ROMs that I've been running.

Thanks again for all your hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] normanx:
I have a question...since installing 1.2.0b3 on my Eris, I have been having connection issues with the 3G and dropping phone calls, never had this before....any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Gmail not loading messages seems to be another victim of the same browser/webkit bug that has appeared in 4.0.3 for us. I'm hoping someone or I can figure out a fix for that. I could also try going back to building from 4.0.1 repos like jaybob has done for the heroC to avoid this issue.

Also, flashing gapps over is a good thought but it isn't going to fix gmail...it's a deeper bug unfortunately.

I was able to install Pandora just a minute ago when I tried it out. However, I haven't been able to sign in as it says that they are undergoing system maintenance so I'm unsure if the app itself works properly.

The big things I'll be focused on when not tied up with other things:

* bluetooth

* 4.0.3 browser bug

* camera previews, camcorder

* ui/graphics accleration
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
This thread is specific to the ICS buids so I'll suggest we move the GB stuff over to this thread:

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

But to the question, I'm not sure what the cause of the problem might be off the top of my head. I'd say try doing a full wipe/factory reset(data + cache + dalvik-cache), flash the ROM and gapps again and see if the connection problems are still present. If not better, post again in that other thread and we'll try and help you figure it out. And one other thing to look into if you haven't already tried it out...see if the connection problems also happen on GSB or not.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nagahtom:
OK. The other email apk works so there is a workaround. Thanks for all of your help. ICS on the Eris. Just too cool!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I'm going to try and put out a new release tonight(maybe late) since it appears the browser/webkit problem can be fixed now. It was funny that just as I was looking at a webkit change and wondering if it would help, jaybob messaged me saying he had just tested a build with a working browser :)

I'll also include the stuff so you can take pictures with the camera...just no preview yet.

Beta 2

I'll update the OP later so for now I'll just put it here...

2.1.0 Beta2: Download Here

MD5sum: f00ebc70a7bfbdfe8f0f5f43e0f3ab5d

* Gapps are included *

The browser, opening gmail messages, etc should all be fixed now. With the camera, It takes awhile for the app to load up but you can then take a picture, you just won't have a preview on the screen. To access the new notification toolbox widgets, press the settings icon in the notification dropdown. You can select which widgets you want, how many per row, and whether to have it as the default view in the EVToolbox app. To access the normal settings, you can long-press on the settings icon in the notification dropdown.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
Still no bluetooth? (NOT complaining--I just really wanna run this rom, but BT is essential.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] nagahtom:
Mr. Mongoose,

Just wanted to let you know I loaded BETA 2 this morning and everything seems to be working fine.

Tested all of the following: (all work)

Browser

Camera

Gmail

GPS

Phone

SMS

wifi

For better performance, I'm running the following:

setcpu: 768MHz with interactive govenor

Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
OP updated with Beta 2.

Haven't gotten bluetooth going yet and I'm not sure why it's having problems. I understand how you and others need it to work before being able to use it....I'll keep trying things.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:
Just booted up Beta2 and its runnning pretty smooth. Really good, loading up apps and such now. As for bluetooth, I really don't need it. So yeah, awesome. Great work as always!! :D

This is a great update/rom.

I have a question is there a way to get the market to read this as a 4.0 os because I can't download chrome. Nbd just wondering.
[Droid Eris Android Development] disconnecktie:
I think you may be able to spoof the market by changing the name of your device in your build prop to one that can download it. Reboot your phone and clear cache and data in the market and try again.

[Droid Eris Android Development] mad5870:
If I knew how to change the build prop i could try that. hah o well time to research. thank you for your help
[Droid Eris Android Development] disconnecktie:
Get a file explore like es file explorer. Go to system open the build prop. Then change the device name from desirec to whatever type of phone can download it. This may or may not work and most definitely don't forget to change your build prop back to the original state. You may make a backup of it first.

Edit; you will have to go into the settings of the file explorer and enable system read write to do this.

@mad5870

Someone on XDA posted the Chrome beta .apk - google is your friend.

But, I have it on good authority (MongooseHelix) that there currently are problems with openGL on the Eris that prevent it from running on his release even if you sideload it.

Anyhow, if you want to try it, sideloading it should be faster. (I tried it on beta1 - installs, but won't run).

Thanks for your work on this still. Going to flash this update ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pandasaurus:
Mm. Not sure if other people have mentioned these, but I have two suggestions for the next build:

1. When you set a security lock (e.g. pattern), it disables the slide-to-unlock function completely. It would be nice to be able to use the 3-function slide-to-unlock (e.g. camera, text, unlock) on top of the security.

The way it's set-up right now forces users to choose between quick app access or phone security. (Unless it's possible to have a security lock and 3-function slide-to-unlock screen and I just overlooked it in the settings.)

2. In the power widget menu thing in the notification bar, it'd be nice if there was a brightness widget. Not sure about how other people, but I manually change the screen brightness depending on where I am; I find the auto brightness setting too bright/wastes battery.

Other than that, I can't really complain. This ROM is amazing! ICS on an almost 3 year-old EOL device; it's nothing short of amazing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
That sounds interesting but it's unlikely to happen soon if at all for a couple reasons. The stock lockscreen doesn't have any such behavior and even the stock slide to unlock just has two choices, camera and unlock. I'm also not really sure how you'd have it so the user could choose to unlock or open up a particular app with the pattern lock. It also wouldn't be a simple or quick modification so it wouldn't be very high on the priority list right now. I'll keep it in mind though.

This is actually something we have worked on and it's just not included yet because it hasn't been working quite right. It will look similar to this: Screenshot Example

We're also planning on having full line widgets for volume and media control. We will be adding functionality to the toolbox...this is just the first go :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] FacelessMan:
I found if you go to system setting, display, brightness and then turn auto brightness on your softkeys will come back. You can then turn auto brightness back off if you wish, and your softkeys will stay on until you reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I tried using this but was experiencing horrendous performance issues with it. So I switched back to gsb until this is out of beta
[Droid Eris Android Development] straw10:
I agree Lupus...I'm about to do the same...incredibly slower than GSB. Hope it improves...I like the layout.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
It's certainly not for everybody. I'm still surprised that the supremely under-powered Eris that only got upgraded to Eclair is able to run ICS at all. It does a lot of trouble trying to keep up with what ICS needs though. That said, we will keep trying to push the limits of this lovable runt of the litter. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:
I use this ROM daily lol it's a little slow but I learned to deal with it. Patience is key. I mainly use it for music and to show off :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] mad5870:
i agree with you our little eris could of handled a Gingerbread update. It may of been ify here and there but would of worked. and it for sure could of handled froyo. But hey that's where dev's like mongoose come into play. ha

thank you for your work especially with this ROM its my favorite one thus far.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nagahtom:
Eris/ICS performance

You guys might try the following. I was running GSB and now I run ICS daily. The changes below brought performance very close to GSB. Certainly acceptable.

setcpu: 768MHz with interactive govenor

v6 Supercharger: 256 group, selection #3 Balanced

Try it. You can always roll back to GSB.

Keep up the good work Mr. Mongoose.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I'm sure it will be great once you're out of beta. Gsb was like this in the beginning
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
FYI,

The beta2 of this ROM uses the HTC /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so which exhibits the undead call bug.

If you are going to use this ROM on an activated phone, you can patch that bug thusly:

[color=green][b]mkdir /data/data/com.android.dmportread
chown 1001.1001 /data/data/com.android.dmportread
touch /data/data/com.android.dmportread/history
chown 1001.1001 /data/data/com.android.dmportread/history[/b][/color]

note there are portability issues with "chown uid.gid target" vs. "chown uid:gid target" and also using symbolic names for uid and guid. I checked with a running version of the ROM, and the uid/gid pair for the "rild" process were 1001/1001.

I am still having trouble with my phone freezing fairly regularly when I plug it in to charge. It seems to happen most often when I plug in my car charger (although that could be because I plug it in in the car much more often or because I have a need to use it right after plugging it in when I am in the car). Is this happening to anyone else? Could it be because I am using an off brand car charger? I would get a logcat of it, but I don't know how to do this given the problem (can't get it from the computer and I'm assuming sendlog won't persist through the reboot). Any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
@jaebond

I don't recall that specifically happening. On my phone, this ROM (beta2) will occasionally freeze (OK, even more often than GSB or CCM7 do, but they all exhibit this syndrome more than the stock Eris ROMs do). These freezes are typically followed by a restart of the system_server process - basically, a soft restart of the entire Android layer running on top of the kernel. On my phone, anyway.

Only one time have I experienced a kernel panic (hard restart) - I was using the camera at the time.

I can't say that I've ever needed to do a battery pull to get the phone out of a "frozen state". Sometimes it does take upwards of a full minute though, between the time that the UI freezes and the screen goes blank at the beginning of the soft restart - so if you were anxious to use the phone, I could see that you might have just yanked the battery.

This syndrome - system_server restarts - has existed in all the Eris GB dev ROMs and I think maybe Eris Froyo dev ROMs, too... I think it just gets triggered more often as each new Android release places greater demands on the Eris' limited memory and clock rate. Strangely, modifying the Android LMK (Low Memory Killer) parameters doesn't seem to change the behavior too much ... idk why that is. Maybe it's some internal kernel resource that gets maxed out, rather than physical memory.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I've figured out that as long as I plug the phone in while the screen is off, everything is fine. I guess it's only when the screen is on and I plug it in that it freezes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] malakai1911:
As for Google Music in the "not working" category. Does that mean 4.0.1 beta is broken, or does that only refer to 4.0.9+. I know that 4.0.1 worked (on other ROMs) but that as of 4.0.9, they changed some code that broke compatibility with the Eris, I assumed something ARM related.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:
Google Music worked for me on this ROM (the version before it became Google Play Music) And it works fine on GSB too. Maybe you are in need of an update of for that application.
[Droid Eris Android Development] malakai1911:
Oh, good to know! Maybe I just got a bad download of 4.0.9 or something.

Qualcomm Releases Adreno 2xx GPU Binaries for on ICS ARMv6 Devices

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] disconnecktie:
The drivers they rolled out for the Droid incredible 2 appear to help with some of the graphical issues that we were having so I bet they would help the Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Sorry for the lack of updates from me...I'm hoping to work on an update this weekend. It should at least include the 4.0.4 updates, our latest evervolv specific changes, and possibly some or all of the various armv6 changes/fixes I've come across and bookmarked but have yet to try out.

I could be wrong but since the Eris has the Adreno 130 and not a 2xx gpu, I'm doubtful that those binaries will be of much use here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pandasaurus:
Yeah. The Eris uses an Adreno 130 GPU. It's about as powerful as a Gameboy. Lulz.

We should start a petition to Qualcomm to release the code for 1XX GPUs. Haha.

But seriously, the Eris would largely benefit from using the GPU for performance gains.

I'm currently attempting to get a .35-ics kernel going using jaybob's heroc kernel source as a base. I've added in and modified desirec specific stuff to where it's compiling without errors but doesn't want to boot up yet. Since it doesn't get past the splash screen there's no logcat or kmsg to look at which is frustrating but if it was easy, it wouldn't be fun.

I think an updated kernel will provide a better base for continued ROM development and hoping to learn some things along the way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
35 kernel status update:

It's now getting to the bootani so that's helpful progress. Currently debugging the cause of the kernel panic that forces a reboot. There is also breber's version from a while back that build and boots to the lockscreen but does not have a functioning touchscreen/physical keys. Additionally, it doesn't include all of the updates/features that are in jaybob's heroc kernel so I'm trying, slowly, to get things merged together and functioning properly.

I am no experienced kernel dev/tinkerer but I keep learning as I go and may even be lucky enough to receive some pointers and help from people like jaybob, preludedrew, gnarlyc, breber, conap, workshed, etc.
