just downloaded 2.7 and am flashing now! i hope i don't have the same media scanner problems, that no one in the world has a solution for...
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
At the moment this is my favorite rom and one I'd prefer to use, but I'm curious why each release requires installing multiple things. Is there a technical reason they can't be included in the rom install?
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
After installing the 2.7 update, my phone has been displaying the roaming triangle. Also, on the lock screen and pull down notification bar, it says "Roaming Indicator On." Is there a way to turn this off to:

1. Stop me from roaming if I am.

2. Regain the Verizon text?

I've updated the PRL.

Thanks for the help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ejarmol:
Everything is working perfect with the 2.7 installed! I booted it up without flashing the google apps package and still had all the google apps showing, and I checked maps and market and both worked. Anyways I flashed the zip for google apps v2 anyways and magically 20 or so apps I had installed prior were installed and they work! I wiped dav and factory reset, any explanation? I'm not complaining but that was spooky.

ErisLightningBolt 2.7 Cyanogen build

i just flashed to this rom for the first time today...everything seems good except the camera doesnt seem to zoom?? i dont know if i was just me being stupid but it didnt seem like it was working otherwise i havnt noticed any other things messed up
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Yes.

Cyanogen ROMS are not allowed to use the Google Experience package (Google apps). They cant be included with the rom. Cyanogen himself received a C&D order to stop using Googles app package or they would sue him. This is why it has to be flashed on the side.

The other flashes, are just fixes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xuser:
I had the same issues with a full wipe install. If you restore you nandroid backup of 2.5 and update 2.7 right over without any wipes, you don't get any roaming triangle or warnings.

Thanks Conap great ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] s_wall98:
Great rom guys.

Now if I can just figure out this battery thing I think I'll be able to keep it. I've been on the internet for 15 minutes coming from a 100% charge and I'm sitting on 79%. I don't ichabod it. I've got all animations off, haptic off, brifhtness down, setcpuadvanced is right. I can't figure it out. I had autokiller but heard it was more harm than good so got rid of it.

Anybody else found a battery life fix.
[Droid Eris Android Development] texanaustinite:
So you flashed it right over 2.5 ? I guess I could try it, then restore the backup is it doesn't work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
I was wondering the same thing. We need a fix for the battery.

Love this ROM

I think I was one of the first to download the ROM off the grdlock page of ROM's!!! I was going to DL the 2.5 but I seen the 2.7 so I figured eehhhhh I might as well!!! Very nice, very clean, and stable!! I flashed all the extras for the

ROM and I have not had any problems with anything yet... Normally I'm devoted to Handcent, but I'm using the SMS whatever app that came with the flash and I'm having no problems at all.. I'm gonna test setcpu right now to see if I get a crash etc.. Hmmmm okay interesting I just went to play with setcpu and yesterday it was set at 245 min and 768 max with room to move it up, and now today it's sitting at 19.2 min and 864 max but its scaling between 245 and 710.. The top right corner its telling me 710 max and 245 min, but my bar is at 864.. This is the part where I get a little confused with the way setcpu works... Any suggestions from anyone or comments or remarks would be very nice and appreciated it.. I love the white notification bar by the way, its a good look!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Wow thanks a lot, duh how did I miss that! Anyone want to divulge what their advanced settings are in SetCPU? I know I saw them here once before, but I don't want to search this entire thread for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
It is initially set at 710 on boot-up. Once you move the bar, it will set wherever you drag the bar to. So make sure you drag the bar below 800 before you let go to avoid an endless bootloop.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
The advanced SetCPU settings for battery fix are: Sampling Rate - 2000000, Up threshold - 60, Ignore Nice Load - 0, and Powersave Bias - 200.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DroidVicious:
Also I have the VZ Wireless text.. I'm not sure if that was an issue or not but the text is def. there!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
black notification bar

Awesome! I put on 2.7 and no issues yet. Seems to boot faster but that could be just me.

Some reminders for people just flashing this ROM.

WiFi Tether for Root users in the Market for Free.

I use Launcher Pro from the market and it seems to be much more fluid than ADW.

To get the black notification bar download MetaMorph from the Market and use http://jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/Black_Bar.zip from thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=673044 -change the color values for clock,date, and carrier to #FFFFFF in spareparts!

I've included the spareparts file so you import the correct settings for the clock and date and carrier. Download the spare_parts_ui.txt and rename to spare_parts_ui.xml put on root of sdcard. Import in spareparts, reboot and you should have the correct settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
I have to say that this is the best rom so far, for me anyway.

I'm getting 4.75 MFLOPS before using any overclocking, so I'm very happy with that.

I rolled back to 2.4 after 2.5 seemed to reboot too often, but 2.7 is working great.

The only issue I'm having is seeing photos in my email. I'm not talking about my gmail account, it's my regular email that's having the problem. Even email that I had viewed on 2.4, now on 2.7 the images won't show. Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
Pics are showing fine in my email acct (not gmail)......
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I understand this about the google software, and that is not what I was referring to. However, 2.5 was released with gps fix, mms fix, etc separate. 2.7 is also released with a fix or two, also separate.

Edit:

CyanogenELB (base rom) 2.7 + Google Apps

MMS fix

5mp camera fix

Carrier display fix

Clear VM fix
[Droid Eris Android Development] mwest316:
Loving the rom..Runs perfect, cannot find any flaws yet, except I am wondering if there will be some type of flash/fix for battery life issues?
[Droid Eris Android Development] s_wall98:
What about a black notification bar with the circular battery indicator? Is that available, all that I've found for the circular battery has the white background.

Internet Tethering doesn't work

Hey all, has anyone figured out a fix to make Internet tethering (available via settings-->wireless & network settings) to work? When I try, this is the adb logcat output:

I/tether ( 909): Enabling tethering..
I//system/bin/sh( 2463): Setting up tethering bridge

Needless to say, tethering doesn't work.

I think there may need to be some kernel configuration changes.

FYI, brctl *does* exist under /system/xbin/ but not under /system/bin. Symlinking didn't fix the issue which is what led me to believe it's related to the kernel.

Re: [ROM]ErisLightningBolt 2.7 Cyanogen build( OC, JIT, Apps2sd, GPS)6/21/10

Battery life issues are almost always due to 3g traffic. Use easy switch from market to turn internet off, and make sure you set up Profiles in set cpu. Sleep is 122-480 for me, and seems perfect.

Plug your phone into the computer and open ddms from your sdk's tools folder, and watch while your phone is asleep.

I guarantee you will find an app or service busy processing things, throttling your cpu, or busy talking to the internet.

This rom has 0 battery issues on it's own. It's your apps, email accounts (syncing every five minutes), or accounts & sync.

I promise.
[Droid Eris Android Development] s_wall98:
Do you ever have problems taking calls with sleep set that low?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mwest316:
I second that about the circular battery. Have not found a metamorph theme yet with that for this type of rom. Tried using DroidKevlars because I saw for CM/Sprint Roms.. no go, crashed.. I don't like the black notification metamorph thats linked in this thread because unfortunatley it makes everything look like a stock eris on the top bar..

still checkin..
[Droid Eris Android Development] zandroid:
I agree with you that moderation is the name of the game on battery life issues, but battery drain issues are a topic of discussion on the cyanogenmod forums for all of the supported phones on 5.0.8.

Not disagreeing with you as I am not having the battery issues most are reporting, but wanted to point out that it's not an issue just on the ported ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] s_wall98:
I used mm and successfully put on the black bar then came back with droidkevlar's battery and it worked great...it took me 2 times to get ut, but the 2nd worked great
[Droid Eris Android Development] xuser:
Try this MetaMorph. Works great with this ROM.

If you don't like the blue text color you can change the clock color, notification text, and carrier text color in spare parts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] capcoward:
Conap, thank you for this amazing rom, it has been my go to ever since I rooted. Is there any way though to get flash 10.1 or htc's flash lite working with this rom? According to this post flash 10.1 works on the eris if flash lite is installed. Thanks!

[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
when I had my sleep set this low I couldn't answer a phone call when the phone was coming out of sleep .....(most of the time) ...... so i had to bump mine back up
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Is anyone having an trouble with Handcent opening excruciatingly slow? I waited 8 seconds the last timed I opened it up. Definitely not complaining, just an observation.

BTW I'm still on 2.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Honestly I'm not sure if it was just me or not but when I tested handcent on 2.7 it seemed to be alot smoother and snappier. It was a little sluggish for me on 2.5 although the only time I ever even open it is when I'm testing mms on the rom and never for personal use so i'm probably not the best judge for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
Well handcent is definitely not slow on 2.7 ....., but I don't remember it being real slow on 2.5 either
[Droid Eris Android Development] vxkid:
love the rom. can't wait to try 2.7. one thing i noticed on 2.5 is the 'end button' function doesn't work when set to anything but "sleep." is this a rom issue? is it happening in 2.7. its a minor point, but thought i'd mention it anyway.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
No I didn't fix that in 2.7 so its still the same. I'm sure the problem is with my rom and not the cyanogen source.
[Droid Eris Android Development] texanaustinite:
Conap, is there a way to make the 'physical' phone button bring up the dialer pad instead of the 'call log' screen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
I haven't looked into a native method, but using dialer one you can have it open with the dialer open/closed, into the call log or contact list, and more.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
Conap, this is fantastic work. Trying it now!
[Droid Eris Android Development] DeezNotes:
I'm running 2.7. Applied the MMS fix after installing the ROM. Also installed Handcent. I left the OG Mms.apk app on there since I haven't used it since I got the phone last year and I saw that I'm receiving MMS messages in both Handcent and the stock messaging app.

Handcent doesn't take 8 seconds to open, but it is definitely not as fast as the stock Messaging app. When selecting Handcent, my screen is black for at least a few seconds before it shows up.

I wish I could say exactly what I did to make it work, but picture messages work. I didn't do the APN backup/restore work-around... I checked *#*#4636#*#* and it was already set to CDMA PRL auto. Can't recall if there's anything else to check, but now it's not needed? I did do a full wipe though... at least as full as I could. I also took a Titanium Backup before I upgraded, so my apps were restored from 2.6 that way.

Since I'm already writing a novel here, I set a SetCPU profile for sleep with the recommended settings. Calling the phone in this state had the screen wake up at the end of the 2nd ring. Disabling this and using my default settings of 729-160 had the phone wake up after the first ring. I'm going to disable the profiles for now to see how it works out.

Very nice work Conap. The people at HTC/Google should take note. It's ROMs like this that makes us love these phones.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Are you able to send mms with the stock messenger or just receive?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
Sending MMS appears to still be broken, but receive has worked for a few versions now.

GPS doesn't appear to work with this update. I'm suspecting this might be due to all of the concrete around me right now, though, so I'll have to test this more later.

So far, everything else seems fine and stable.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DeezNotes:
I will double check, but I was able to send just now... even though it took a while to go through. I can get the exact times later.

I was able to successfully send immediately after installing 2.6 way back then. This happened once and I never got to test after that, so I assumed sending always worked and receiving was the issue? I'm confused now, so I'll test more and get back to you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] boleap:
GPS Not seeming to work for me either. Worked okay for me in 2.5 though.

Great work on this build, Conap!

(on a separate note, if anyone is able to walk me through SetCPU and OC'ing, it would be a great help! Still a bit lost on that stuff! If so, send a PM or hit me up on Twitter @boleap)
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Just wanted to report everything seems to be working fine for me on 2.7. Stellar battery life, GPS finds a signal VERY fast and hasn't lost it yet.

Haven't tried MMS as I use Gmail to send pictures anyway. Will test later.

Thanks Conap, We all really appreciate what you do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I went outside for a bit and took the opportunity to test GPS. I had to toggle GPS off and back on before it would start working, but for the duration of my time I was outside, it worked well. I'll test it on my way home, which is an hour long drive.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
nevermind, got it
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I tested my GPS on the way to work and on the way home(45 minutes each way) and can't seem to lose my signal lol. If anyone does lose the signal can you try toggleing the gps off and back on. Don't close your navigation just go to home screen and use a toggle switch. Some have said that will allow it to reconnect right away. Also if anyone knows how to save a logcat on the phone and post that or send it to me it would be helpfull. I'm not sure what the command is to save a logcat on the phone as I usually do logcats from my laptop so If anyone knows the command and could share it here with others that would help too. Thanks for all the nice feedback everyone.

Great work, conap! This is by far my most favorite ROM I've ever used. Even though I can not receive mms (but I can send), it's still a keeper for me. My wife tried sending me pics a few times with no success. I'm sure you'll figure it out though! Again, thanks for the great ROM!!

Flashlite only works with htc sense. its built into thier framework. so even if the flash10.1 apk works with our phones it won't currently work with cyanogen or vanilla roms.

But other then that great rom and i hope to see some awesome things from this beast you have made.

also could some one link a guide to WTF dev tools dose for a normal user? i cant seem to find one except for slowing the window and transition speeds?
