Hey hoban_eris,

I think I speak for all of us when I say maybe you shouldn't abandon this project :) I think when you started this the ultimate goal was to hit something that was finally pure Vanilla and maybe you were beat to that goal, but I think what made everyone love it so much was that it wasn't. It was a happy medium. The best of both worlds.

I had the strengths of both and the weakness of neither :)

I mean with Punk.Kaos working on a working version of vanilla Froyo, maybe once its fully working you could take it and taint it :)

I dont know where I am really going with this. I just think Tainted Vanilla was a really good rom and your a really good dev, you should keep at it :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] VermiThrax423:
+1 i actually enjoyed the tainted vanilla but switched roms because was told there would be no more updates ...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Seanydizzley:
+2. This ROM is still by far my favorite. I tried senseless, I just wasn't as satisfied. Had to bring back TV. This ROM is phenomenal.

Re: [ROM] [05/18/2010] Tainted Vanilla V1.4 OVERCLOCKED

Tainted Vanilla's Future

Hey all,

I've received several requests both public and private to continue work on Tainted Vanilla. I have been very pleased that so many of you have enjoyed it, and equally pleased that it has performed well for you and that you desire more. I am not the person to continue work on Tainted Vanilla. Honestly, I have lost interest now that we have some projects cranking out true vanilla roms. They're not perfect yet, but they'll get there. I realize that there are several features that Tainted Vanilla offers currently that the vanilla roms don't. The hybrid nature of TV makes it ideal for some of you. I am not part of that group. Here's the plan: if you want TV to continue, feel free to work on it. any one of you (or multiple) may continue working on this rom as their own. You have my blessing, I'll pass over the thread to you (is that possible?) and here's my final gift to you, tainted.vanilla.kitchen.tar.bz2 available in my folder on http://android.grdlock.net

Included is a rom kitchen credits dsixda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246, a signing script (for creating updates), and a script I wrote which will take pretty much any sense rom and make it "Tainted Vanilla".

I wrote it for running within Ubuntu Linux, but any Linux distro should work. Make sure you have java installed and configured. The script assumes that you have unpacked everything inside /home/yourusername/android/.

Enjoy and good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] kreegaa:
thanks hoban for the kitchen! btw, did u do something with the bluetooth stuff on 2.1. on OTA 2.1 my bluetooth headphone used to be able to control any mediaplayer. but on TV, its like 1.5 again. the music player takes over whenever a button on the bluetooth headfone is used

again thanks for the rom and kitchen
[Droid Eris Android Development] atpjoe:
I've been bouncing around different ROMs and keep coming to TV for it's pretty smooth Nexus like features. But I cannot shake this damn browser force close problem. I browse the market, does not fix it. Also, the search function does not work, and crashes the phone when I try to use it in market.

Any fixes for these problems? If I can't resolve these problems I have to ditch TV. Hopefully a quick response comes :confused:

Edit: Finally got Market to play ball, search and browser work now. Only thing that has issues is Nexus Launcher stalls sometimes (do not care) and changing the wallpaper from Settings fc's. Next on my list of things to do is JIT this hoss. 3.2mflops with out it right now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
I didn't mess with bluetooth. It's probable that one of the apps I removed messed with it though. Feel free to download the kitchen to see all the changes I made to the OTA 2.1 to make this rom and you'll likely be able to figure out what the issue is.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
Installing another browser and setting one default has been the quickest fix. The force closes are due to the fact that no browser is set to default after flashing this rom.

Nexus Launcher doesn't work great on this rom, you're right. But then, it doesn't work well on _any_ eris rom I've tried. Anyhow, I always end up using Home, LauncherPro, or Helix Launcher anyhow...

Good luck with JIT. It doesn't play nice with HTC Sense so you'll likely get force closes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
FYI

Just an FYI, I'm glad that some of you are still finding this rom useful. If someone would like to take over development, you're more than welcome. I've released the tainted vanilla script + kitchen (credits to the dev have been given) already, so have at it. I rarely check this thread, so questions will likely go unanswered by me for a long time to forever. Regardless, I hope you continue to enjoy it. It's been fun.
[Droid Eris Android Development] atpjoe:
I had the browser working fine for a few days then it started acting up again for some reason. I'm going to try downloading another browser and setting it default and see how that goes. I switched to HelixLauncher for the better stability and shortcuts. I get random crashes doing all sorts of different things now and then but for the most part it's pretty solid. I don't think I'm doing JIT, it's quick enough w/o it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i've been using TV as my everyday ROM for a couple of weeks now. oddly enough, i have none of FC issues other are having... and have certainly never had to browse market to fix. i also did not have to install any other browsers... or set default browser.

in any case, still love TV... and maybe i'll take it over in the next week or so ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Lemcott:
only problem with me is facebook syncing... other then that love it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cronic5:
Force closes when trying to change scene.

Other than that, it's beautiful.
[Droid Eris Android Development] theGross1:
This used to be my daily rom but then I switched out because hoban moved on. Needless to say, I've come back probably to stay. I love the battery life I get out of this rom.

I've been trying to get Swype to work with it though and cannot.

Edit: never mind about swype,i got it working
[Droid Eris Android Development] Seanydizzley:
You're getting 806 stable?! Lucky. Mine freezes up at 806 when I use the market or browser. Had to knock it down to 787 and its flawless.

I really wish someone would keep this project running. I'd like to learn how to dev, but seems difficult.
[Droid Eris Android Development] theGross1:
I too hope someone picks up this rom and continues it.

I was getting 806mhz but it began to give me problems so I've stepped down to 767 which, as you say, is flawless.

I haven't been able to enable JIT for some reason but I'm not too concerned. Usually around 3.3Mflops for me. I'd like to see a MMS fix for this rom (if there isn't one already that I have missed)

HOBAN COME BACK TO US!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Seanydizzley:
I had MMS working with the APN Trick and using Handcent.
[Droid Eris Android Development] artisan_lewa:
Dude, I love this ROM. Fixes so many bugs.

I'm a graphic artist. Making my own graphics for this ROM.

Where are the lock screen graphics? I've look in the system apk's, I looked at every image.

nvm I found it

hey anyone know how to take screenies using this rom?

also is it auto overclock or custom

Roms Install

This may seem very dumb for most you that have already installed the roms so easily, but I am having a few problems.

My first problem is that I have tried a few ways to install. I have rooted my phone to 2.1 and have tried Rom Manager application but there is a very complicated route that I have to take with that due to what phone I have being htc eris. My second problem is that I have also tried using the way that theunlockr.com explains and when I get to the very end of the intructions and type the last command into cmd is says the flash_image cannot be found. I sat and read most of the threats trying to find a solution but did not have any luck. If you or anyone has an easier way to install this particular rom please respond back..thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jthanson12:
This may seem very dumb to most of you who have already have this rom installed but I have had a few problems.

I have the htc eris and have tried the Rom Manager application and that was not working. I also tried the step by step guide on theunlockr.com and when I type the last command into cmd it said it cannot find the flash_image. I looked for a solution to my problem throughout the threads but could not find one.

I am looking for an easy way to install this awesome rom..please let me know what i should do.

I have rooted my phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] Alriightyman:
Have you added the recovery image yet?

If not, go to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647707

If you have then follow these steps:

I have never used the rom manager and probably won't either but here is how I do it. First make sure the rom you want to flash is on your sdcard in the root directory. So if your sdcard is drive F:\ then put it in F:\. Second, power off your phone, and once it is off, hold the volume up key and the power button(bottom right button). That should take you to the recovery screen. Next, using the trusty trackball, select 'wipe', then select 'Wipe data/factory reset', and then select 'Wipe Dalvik-cache'.

And finally go to 'Flash zip from sdcard' select this rom it will load and when it finishes go back and select 'Reboot system now'. It will take a while to load upto 10 mins, though I may be exaggerating a bit. Good luck! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] corrosivefrost:
This ROM is *excellent*. It's currently my main ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Was having a lot of problems with other roms today. Went back to my old faithful, Tainted Vanilla 1.4. This rom is just as stable and fast as anything out there. Slap Launcher Pro beta on it, 806 OC, and autokiller and this is easily in the top 3. Sad to see it just sitting here dormant.
[Droid Eris Android Development] timoyo3:
may be my fault but im pissed. my phone is looping through the eris and droid bootup screens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
I have tried 3 roms today...first kaosfroyo (v23), and it gave me all types of problems. Might be because I didn't do multiple wipes. Then I tried Evil Eris 3.0. Then last but not least, I tried Tainted Vanilla and I love it.

I realize there isn't a ton of unique custom style since it more or less still acts like the default Eris I had (except the lock screen has changed and various icons are different), but because it has been stripped of so much sense...it is so damn fast, I love it.

Immediately when it loaded the first time I was impressed. I have it overclocked at 750mhz. For some reason, when I had it at 766, the market search bar freeze and would reboot the phone automatically, and the browser would crash. Since lowering it to 750, it doesn't do that anymore.

weird.

anyways, love this rom!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
TV has always been one of my favs... and i always keep a NAND of TV around!

on a side note... you may want to restore the default HTC mms.apk (search around and find out how to do it. you can pull the HTC mms apk file from any sense based ROM)... it will "fix" your mms :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
The prefect mix of sense and vanilla. Very fast and smooth. Excellent job!

Sent from my leaked rooted HTC Droid Eris with Tainted Vanilla 1.4 using Swype
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
one feature that isn't working for me on TV 1.4 is the corporate calendar.

I setup my work email on this. On the previous 2.1v3 I had, I could use ActiveSync. When I wanted to send an email, the TO field would auto populate based on characters I typed. Now, with TV 1.4, i have to choose Exchange, and unless Iknow the specific email address, it won't give me any shortcuts.

Also the corporate calendar will crash on me. i have no access to my work calendar events on TV 1.4. Am I missing something? Do I need to install something else?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
in the first post... there is a fix posted:

http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph...e873&direction=0&order=&directory=hobans roms

"*OOPS! I don't use corporate calendar so I didn't notice it force closes.

To fix, flash the file called "TV.1.4.CorpCALfix-update.zip" located in my folder on http://android.grdlock.net. No wipe needed. Sorry about this silly issue!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

on a side note... I'm gonna PM hoban and request taking over this thread... and support of this ROM. it's still my fav 2.1 ROM... the 3D Gallery WORKS PERFECTLY (Rotation and all). everything just "works." (like i said, replace vanilla MMS with HTC MMS and it has ZERO issues). i've actually completely themed TV... and run my own "custom" TaintedTenzo :)

in any case, we'll see what hoban says... i'd love to continue supporting this EXCELLENT ROM!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
having some touchscreen issues, will not respond, will this do the trick?

http://www.multiupload.com/CC2GMEWIR5
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
tried it, it froze on the skate board screen, so no.

Issues are it sometimes does not respond to me swipe through the screens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
Awesome, would love to see some screens of TaintedTenzo :)

Do you ever use Handcent or ChompSMS? I don't mind the vanilla MMS.

One thing I HATE with my eris is when I take a picture and try to share it over messaging...sometimes it compresses it, sometimes it doesn't. the HTC MMS I think does that, not sure if vanilla mms does.

I am actually not a fan of the 3d gallery. For me, its just weird trying to navigate it personally.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i'll try to get some screenshots up.

another thing to add...

after adding the HTC mms... you'll have to add the HTC gallery as well, as it's linked to that for sharing pics, etc.

that would "solve" the 3d gallery issue for you, as it would give you 2 options for pics/vids.

i don't think hoban frequents the forums as much anymore (or maybe just the Eris forums, not sure).

we'll see what he says, then i'll "polish" off some things and run with it :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
is that the only place you notice TS issues? what launcher are you using?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
how do I replace the vanilla MMS with the HTC? As well as the HTC gallery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
are you familiar with adb commands?

i've attached the two stock HTC apps (Mms.apk and HTCAlbum.apk). push these two files to the /system/app/ directory (use directions below).

download both files, place them in your working directory (to make it easy, i'll say copy them to your c:/androidsdk/tools folder):

from a command prompt, use the following commands:

adb remount

adb push Mms.apk /system/app

adb push HTCAlbum.apk /system/app

after you are done, reboot your phone, and you should be good to go (keep in mind, i did not attach the HTCAlbum widget... so that still won't work, though, i personally dont use it).
[Droid Eris Android Development] zombieninja:
Crash

Just started trying this rom.

Love the speed I'm getting, but its crashed and restarted on me twice in the last hour. :(

Once was while I had Market open and the other was when I had my browser opened. (Using xScope, other browser kept force closing)

Shame the dev retired.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
according to hoban... if you browse market BEFORE opening the browser, it should fix the browser FC's.

i've personally never had a browser FC with TV... and never had any market issues. perhaps try that, and see if the issues go away.

curious... do you run any task killers? (advanced task killer or autokiller)?
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
It seemed to happen with both.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
both launchers? i think there are 3 included. i've always used the default launcher (it's smooth and fast... and no bugs).

for 3rd party, i'm a big fan of LauncherPro.

curious, when your screens weren't scrolling... was this right after a boot? it may take a few seconds (up to 30) for the phone to complete bootup, and grant superuser permissions (to setcpu, autokiller, etc).

i had asked about task killers earlier... as they seem to usually cause me more issues then they are worth (reboots, etc).
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
Take that back. It was the nexus launcher. Swapped to helix and no issues. Loving this ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
Thanks man. Yep familiar with adb commands.

So do you not like the vanilla mms? or is there a particular reason you prefer the HTC?

So the corporate calendar fix worked...but what was weird was I did some other things and went back to my corporate calendar and it crashed again. I was on the single day view at the time.

Maybe I should lower my overclocking to 710mhz versus 748mhz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
Just installed the Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard to TV 1.4...nice

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8BWYGDTQ
[Droid Eris Android Development] bryank29:
Could some of you test something for me.

Go into CLOCK. Does the temperature showing on the screen appear to be in celcius?

If I click on the temperature from the clock screen, the forcast screen shows 90 degrees or in farenheight, but the clock home screen shows 33 degrees, or celcius.

why? I can't get it to change no matter what. Is there a setting in a file I need to change and repush?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
awesome! that's good to hear! i've never had much luck w/the nexus launcher.

not sure what's up w/the calendar. did you happen to rewipe/reflash/install fix... or did you just install over the ROM (this after you had it crash on you before). i honestly don't use the corp calendar... i'll see if i can figure anything out.

as for MMS... i had issues sending/receiving MMS with vanilla (it was hit/miss... and never had success w/vids... just pics). once i re-pushed the HTC MMS apk (and then pushed the HTC photo apk), no issues with sending/receiving... or with using the "share" feature within the ROM.

love the Droid X keyboard... seems to work w/many ROMS! glad that you had success w/it! thanks for the link for those that might not of had it.

i believe the Celsius issue was a "bug" with the earlier 2.1 ROMS. not sure if it ever got resolved or not... but i do know that the cyanogen ROMS don't seem to have this issue.

I've tried in the past to re-push a clock from another ROM where it displayed correctly, and it didn't make a difference.

if hoban gives the thumbs-up... i'll definitely look into and fix that! (in fact, i'll start playing w/it now) :)

happy to hear that so many are still enjoying this WONDERFUL ROM!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
Hope some one takes over I am loving the ROM and it might replace EE for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i PM'd hoban a few days ago. if i don't hear anything within a week or so, i'll release a fully themed (icons and all), TV "upgrade" (just adding/replacing a couple things, fix Celsius bug, roll-up calendar fix, incorp latest OTA update, etc)

on that note... preference on colors for theme? stock, red, blue, gold, etc... i'm pretty open to suggestions ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
Id like something based on buuf. Google it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i know buuf... ;)

it's a little too "cartoony" for me... but it will have custom icons, etc. you like the "earthy" colors of buuf?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Erisftw:
Red!

10CHARS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i like red... it always looks good against the black. EE and EL are both red themed. i've also played around with gold and shades of blue. it would only take a couple of days to complete the theme.

even if i don't hear from hoban (his post says he gives anyone permission to use this and dev from it), i'll just start a new thread and release whatever i have :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] NeoWave:
Replace the ugly green by a nice blue and dont change anything :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
Just a cool look imo. But do what ya like and put it out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
Nice rom. I love the nexus launcher. For some reason though htc facebook sync isn't working even after I flaked the fix for it. I might try reflashing the rom later today and see if that helps.

Sense-able is still my main rom because I like the sense widgets too much and I finally have the vanilla lock screen with it.

New ownership of TV!

I just PM'd tenzomonk back. To let you all know, I let him know that I'm thrilled for him to take over development of Tainted Vanilla.

Next step will be to see whether I can get a MOD to give him control of the thread.

Good luck tenzomonk, I know the ROM is going to do quite well under your control!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
awesome man! i just PM'd you back as well!

i'm very excited to "inherit" this wonderful work, and look forward to furthering it along and continuing support!

good luck in all your future endeavors hoban!

i'll get some of theme cleaned up... incorp some updates, etc... and will spend this week testing some things out (including flash support). :)

thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
So far this ROM will be taking over EE as my primary.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Seanydizzley:
I'm excited to see this ROM taken under new management! I loved Hoban's work on this, and I have faith that tenzomonk

will bring this work even farther along. I will gladly flash this when available. Best of luck tenzomonk! We miss you Haban. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
so... anyone "brave" souls feel like being BETA testers? :) (preferablly those with apps2sd experience and/or use an exchange server?)

screenies attached... (shoot me a PM if interested... i'll get back to ya this afternoon)

btw... it's using a themed lockscreen found here:

also, battery is GREEN when plugged in... RED when using battery...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
btw... i've been testing for a few days now... only issues i've had are Google Listen not working (can't verify my login... i believe it's due to apps2sd... both app and data being on SD... but i could be wrong) and the "old" DeskClock issue with temp showing in Celsius (shows Fahrenheit everywhere else)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 56K:
Found an issue. When my phone is locked I can unlock it using the menu button. This will bypass the slider. This also causes pocket calls.

That's not an issue. That's the way the standard way that all Eris roms work. Use jcase's root app to disable menu unlocking.

ahhhh thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
thanks for the reply hoban...

all that being said... there are a few phones now currently running beta's of the new Tainted release.

should be done within the week and released!

just working out some issues and cleaning the theme (going to keep it almost stock). lock screen will be themed... and hopefully, in honor of hoban... a perfect mix of sense/nonsense :)
