I read the faq trust me...I guess I just read it too fast lol. I like the ROM a lot though, it's more fashionable than most ROM's. So far it is very stable and I have not encountered a FC or reboot yet which I always do with other Roms I've used. Not a big fan of Sense (expresso whatever it's called in this) since I've been using Vanilla roms...but I'll take stability any day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DigitalMD:
Thanks for alll the work. Great to have a good SENSE ROM . NO other set of nice integrated widgets out there and there are way too many vanilla ROMs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mikeislord:
I'm still very interested in this ROM. This is my favorite out of all the ROMs I've tried.

I too also experience lock ups from time to time. Mostly they are timing based (i.e. 2 apps using data updating at the exact same moment) Most of the time sending the device a voice call frees up this lock.

The only hard lock up I had was when I was using the device heavily the other day and it was using a lot of data as it hit the 15% battery mark. Required a battery pull.

Is anyone having problems with the browser flash? I think I read that this browser has flash..but I can't play any videos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scottish walleye:
Sync All...

I can't remember if it was already in the list of widgets or if it was something I downloaded, but I put a Sync all widget on my home screen. Push it once and syncing starts push it again and it stops and the status bar icon goes away.

Also, as far as I can't tell the wireless tethering works just fine. I had never needed it until yesterday. It connected right up.

I'm just saying.

Thanks again .mak

Thanks again
[Droid Eris Android Development] n1ghtwish:
I most definitely am... I haven't been on much lately (just bought a new car - been busy with that) but I still wanna see Rev8. this is my daily use ROM, I haven't run anyone else's in months.

Have you worked out the sync bug and changed the 3G icons? Those are pretty much the only 2 things I was concerned about.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
I'm really sorry this keeps taking the back-burner. I've got at-home issues I'm dealing with as well as a new blog (linked in my signature), although the blog consumes very little time thus far, and many other things going on that take up majority of my time, like my children and their activities.

Anyway, I've been working on it whenever I have any time, it'll just be a few more days before I can have anything worth releasing.

Hang in there, gentleman (and ladies :) )

[Droid Eris Android Development] n1ghtwish:
Thanks Mak!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dusthead:
this has been my everyday ROM as well for a long time. some things i would like to see addressed are:

- if possible, try to limit how the battery heats up like crazy when you're charging and tethering. tethering that way is the only way to use it for a long period of time. i was using it a lot while the cable in my house was messed up. if you don't plug it in - it doesn't get hot but the battery goes very fast.

- the very popular Mobile Defense app FC's when i attempt to complete the system install of it.

- have issues sharing links and things to Facebook...i get to the FB webpage and it tells me it was unable to post the link.

- sync issue

- kindle is going to be a widely used app...probably an app issue, but i can't 'buy' and download books using the stock browser, but i can with dolphin...don't know why that is.

- don't know where to find more "modes" or themes

- still get audio issues, i use Google Voice for every call, long periods go by with no issue then all audio goes away. don't notice it till i make or take the next call.

eyeing a few other ROMs but they have issues i don't want to give up or deal with. this one is my everyday, until kaosfroyo is ready ;] thanks mak, great job.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
The phone will always heat up while be charged, it's not related to WiFi tethering. I've had three Eris' and all have done the same while charging, which leads me to believe it's not so much of an issue, but a nuisance.

This was reported by one of my beta testers as well, but I believe it to be an issue with Mobile Defense and Espresso, not so much this ROM itself. I've reported this to the team working on Mobile Defense, but it's been weeks and I've received no response. You can help by reporting this as well.

I have very similar issues with my Droid running BB1.1, I believe it to be an issue with Facebook but will keep looking into it and hopefully find a resolution.

So far, in the Rev8 beta I've been testing in my free-time, the constant-sync issue is gone. However, GMail Sync is still an issue. Once Zen updates his with the fix I'll port it over, but I've been unable to resolve it myself to-date.

You're right, it is a browser issue. If you visit any webpage with the https:// prefix, you'll notice many issues. I have an issue with mobile banking at my local credit union from the Eris' stock browser. I'm unsure if this is limited to Espresso builds, but I would think it would be an issue for any HTC Sense builds that use the same browser build.

I don't, either, sadly. I'll research more extensively and see if I can find some. The ones available here were the ones included with the MT3G Slide "stock", they were just ripped and made into an add-on because they sometimes cause FC's, but I resolve most of the issues in Rev7 with them.

I'm unaware of audio issues, as I haven't had any myself or had it reported from the beta team. Can you be more specific as to what's going on?

I hope this was helpful, at least in understanding where the ROM stands compared to other builds. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do for now about some of the issues you're reporting, but luckily there are alternatives (e.g; Dolphin browser) for some of them.

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

I'll continue working on Rev8 in about a week, please read the first post in the thread for a message to ZenEXP-Eris users.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Philosophre:
Still the only ROM I use. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] corrosivefrost:
Having just dealt with a ton of family issues myself, I can only wish you luck in dealing with yours and hope that the community will be understanding and just thankful for what you've done and your willingness to return to development when the time is right. Thank you. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] osmo_sc:
This my every day Rom! Can't wait for rev 8. Also will be donating around the 11th as that is when I get some free cash. Thx for the hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
I'm very glad you enjoy it :)

Thank you for your understanding, and kind words, I really appreciate it :)

Thank you, I appreciate that :)

I'll be returning with Rev8 this week sometime, so keep your eyes on this thread for more info! I'm also coming out with a Moto Droid ROM, for those who also have a Droid, I'll throw that link in my signature when the time comes as well.

-mak
[Droid Eris Android Development] grooven79:
.Mak!

This is my default ROM! Love it and as a father of 3 young kids I have no clue how some of you find the time to mess with this stuff!

Just wanted to say thank you for the work and making my phone a functional daily tool!
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
I appreciate that, and I'm glad I could help :)

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

I just released the Droid ROM I've been working on for ages, but it was 99.999% stable for the past few weeks already.. hoping to get a Rev8 beta out in the next 48 hours for the testers and, hopefully, a full release by the end of the weekend :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] osmo_sc:
Thanks for the update. I got some funds a little early so I just sent a donation. Also if you could tell me what version are the theme based on as I was looking at working on a theme for this rom, i.e. RC8 ,RC9, RC33 or ADP1? Thx
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
Thank you very much for your donation :)

In reference to your question, I'm not really sure. There's a link in one of the first posts to the original Sprint port by zenulator, he'd probably know for sure. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful there.

If it were me, I'd use one of the current themes as the base for theme(s). apktool can decompile the themes into plain-text xml files and it'll break down the .9.png files so you can edit/replace them fairly easily in Photoshop.

-mak
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
absolutely the best

man i have tried literally a dozen roms and this is number 1. I cant wait for updates. my question is there any chance of a vannilla-esq lockscreen or anyway to put one on this rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I can't wait for rev8. Anything cool too expect from it? (unless ours a surprise)?
[Droid Eris Android Development] osmo_sc:
I found all the T-Mobile Mymode themes work, so I have been editing one of them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
mms problem

My mms does'nt seem to be working even with handcent. Says poor nework coverage even when in the 3g.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dusthead:
Have you taken a look at Quick Boot? I tried it with this ROM from the market but nothing happened...loving it in the Suave Smush ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Excellent porting job! It's already so stable and fast, I can't wait to see what rev8 brings. This has earned its place as my everyday ROM for sure.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ForwardTwo:
I can't donate now :( because of my amount of money, but I made this for now :) Just as a symbol of appreciation, until I get money to give out. :)

Enjoy! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkside86:
So getting bored with some other roms and having some stability issues, i figured i would try this rom out and WOW! I love this rom, I haven't had a force close yet and I love the feel of it. I'm personally a big fan of the bubbles and think it adds a little elegance. Thinking this is going to be my daily rom. Just wanted to say thank you to Mak for taking time and making this a great rom. I appreciate all of your hard work. Can't wait to see it when it's updated.

So does metamorph work for this rom? don't know where to get anymore themes with MyMode, will keep looking though

So i just found something that may make me switch to a different rom. It seems that any apps that require SU permission don't work. I don't think it's the apps, i think it might be something else. When the screen comes on to ask if I want to allow, deny, etc... it just sits at a black screen and nothing comes up and it freezes my phone. Anyone have any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
double check and ake sure usb debugging is enabled ...... if not enable it, this soundslike your problem .....
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkryan:
Love this Rom.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
"until at least July 15th, 2010."

i hope everything is going well with your situation. and take your time as some things are more important then a cell phone brother =)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zigzackattack:
I finally rooted a few days ago and this was among the first few roms I flashed. Amazing. This is definitely going to be the one I stick with. The only thing I still want is live wallpapers and I am sure we can get that on this some day. I get excited every time I use my phone now. With OC, tethering and the gorgeous intuitive interface this rom has made my yearning for an incredible cease entirely. It's a new phone and I love my eris to death now. Thanks! I can't wait til rev 8. Enjoy your family. You are my god.
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkside86:
So i reflashed this rom from scratch and enabled USB debugging and still cannot get the SU request to go through. I really love this rom, but without being able to allow SU permission i can't run SetCpu or any of the other great programs that require root. Sucks because I really loved this rom :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] cdeyarmond:
i keep getting stuck on the boot menu. after i flash and recover it get stuck on the loading, indexing, and preparing zenEXP-Eris

sorry if this is a dumb question, but im kinda new at this.

please help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
SU works fine for me, have you tried upgrading to the newest SU app? That app doesn't work with ZenEXP-Eris, or didn't when I build Rev7.. the included app works fine, though.

Please list the steps you've taken to install the ROM and what all you've modified/installed since then.

Assuming you're referring to the flashing "prepairing ZenEXP-Eris" in the boot animation; You're not stuck, give it 5+/- minutes to load the first time around. If you're still having issues, please list exactly what steps you took to install the ROM.

-mak
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkside86:
1. Loaded rom on sd card

2. Wipe data/dalvik/even tried to wipe SD:ext

3. Flashed ZenExp

4. Set up home screen according to preferences

5. Downloaded ShootMe (screenshot)

6. Tried to open shoot me, and then it tells me it's going to request root

7. SU request tries to open but it just sits at a black screen and then the phone freezes up, have to turn the screen off and then unlock again, hit home button and try again.

Not sure if there is something else i should be doing. I went to the market to look for SuperUser. I found SuperUser Whitelist and installed that to no avail. Maybe there is a different SU program i'm not finding.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
Why don't you try another SU-enabled app, it could be the app itself..
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkside86:
ok, so i just tried to use SetCpu with this rom and i'm still getting the same problem. Can anyone post a link to an updated or downgraded SuperUser app? Thinking that it might be my problem. But still not sure why it's working for some and not for me. Same program for everyone i'm guessing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkryan:
Can we still expect an update to rev8? I am just curious not trying to rush you. Glad your family comes first.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] jasmarie47:
hey guys, I hope someone can help me with this...is anyone else having problems with the lockscreen not showing up? When I wake the phone up from sleep by pressing the power button it just goes straight to my homescreen. The lockscreen never shows up...am I missing something?
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
Same app for everyone, it's in the /system/app folder, at least the apk is.. the actual su file is located in bin IIRC (might be xbin in Rev7..).

Anyway, it's very weird that it's not working for you and, unfortunately, I have no course of action for you to take since it's working for everyone else. You might try, just one last time, to completely wipe your device (data/dalvik/sdcard) and reflash Rev7.

Yes, for sure, I haven't forgotten about you guys at all! My family is going through some very rough times right now, especially my fiance, and I need to be there for them more than usual.

What all have you installed/modified?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Shadow.Wolf:
Just curious, but how long does this ROM stay in the White Bootloader screen that says is:

DROIDDOES

Please Wait...

Loading...

Indexing...

I have been waiting about 15 minutes now, so was just wondering. If its not supposed to be that long...then could someone explain how to properly install it? I have properly installed ELB, Evil Eris, and Stock....so I am familiar with the process, this just seems to be taking an awful long time is all...thanks for your assistance.

Shadow
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
That's fairly common. Did you wipe data/dalvik/sdcard (a2sd)? If not, and if you're having trouble booting it up the first time, wipe it all and reflash.

-mak
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
setcou keeps crashing on me, i have 710/480 main. when i tried to engage the profiles (all of which were set below 710) it crashed again.

it seems any fiddling of setcpu makes it crash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
Are you using the active widget? If so, there is a bug in it. You have to use the other setcpu widget.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
no widget, just the regular setcpu app. reflashing right now and going to try it again.

strange as even just moving the sliders down caused it to crash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jojo_wells:
question

i flashed this rom twice now. it seems to lock up at the droid does screen. i was running plain jane before. it has been sitting for 30 minutes now. ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericDylan:
Ok I am using wifi teher and it was working fine then I downloaded aTrackdog and it told me there was a new version so i thought "why not"... well i figured out "why not".... I guess it is that the newer version doesnt work with this ROM. it opens and says touch to start and i touch and it says unable to tether please try agin. Does anyone have a downgrade to the version of wifi tether that came originally with Zen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
You should be able to go into Settings -> Applications -> WiFi Tether -> Uninstall Upgrade(s).

-mak

PS: I haven't forgotten about ZenEXP-Eris, guys!! Working on it as we speak :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] FunkyFender:
Awesome! :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] ma42091:
Awesome.

I rooted not to long ago, and I found this rom to be the most visually appealing out of the ones I saw, so I flashed it!

Needless to say that im very pleased with it. Its super fast and smooth! I love the blue and the icon bubbles. Ive had no issues other than the sync icon staying on, although I noticed Sense restarting almost all the time coming back from an app a few days ago, I suspected Quickdesk to be the culprit, I uninstalled it and it seems to have solved the issue. Anyone else experience this?

Friendstream and a fix to Gmail is all I need! :D Great job .mak!! Im looking forward to future updates! (a lot)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkryan:
Can't wait!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
sounds good .....can't wait
[Droid Eris Android Development] 18rmiller:
how do i unroot my phone back to stock so i can go get a new one from verizon? I had official 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkryan:
Lockscreen

Is there a way to get rid of the HTC lockscreen? I used the remove lockscreen zip. but the orientation is all messed up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NickAVV:
I'm sorry to hear about your family trouble, but I've got to congratulate you on how amazing this ROM looks. I'm downloading Rev7 right now, you won me over on features, the appearance, the amount of customization you seem to be able to do.

I was wondering if the bubble removing patch for Rev7 was still underway. The bubbles themselves look very nice, but I think I'd prefer not having them. Anyways, I'll post back in a while when I've actually used the ROM, but its very visually appealing, so high five man.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrnatas19:
bubble removal

hey mak, I just got your rom yesterday, and I have to say, I'm very impressed.

The only thing I can think of that's missing and that is causing a bit of speed delay is JIT.

just wanted to say awesome job on the rom. any e.t.a. for rev8? or mainly just the bubble removal, that would be awesome..

thanks a ton, great work!

its a sad day, I will be getting a droid x soon. thank you for all you're work on this rom, I loaded over 8 roms and used them all for a few days till i found you're rom when it was on REV 6 and never looked back. I hope to be getting some work soon and will donate to show thanks.

Best Sense Rom Available

Best Sense rom available.

Hope to see fixes to what is known to be broken and patches and features like:

1. compatibility with all HTC widgets (FriendStream, People, the downloadable HTC widgets)

2. Removing the Bubbles around the icons (the bubble looks fine on the homescreens, but looks very tacky in the app drawer)

3. Live Wallpapers

I hope to also see these too

1. Remove the "swipe to unlock" screen when Pattern Locksreen is on (Most annoying thing Sense roms suffer from)

2. Change the App drawer icon(arrow icon) to Vanilla's icon (tiny boxes in a grid)...Vanilla's icon better associates the app drawer.

3. Change the Ev/1x notification bar icon to 2G/3G...People know what 2G/3G is.

4. Ability to change the Apps shortcuts in the launch dock to whatever you want (i.e. Phone, contacts, mail, messages, internet, camera, camcorder, maps, etc.)

5. If possible, more app shortcuts in the launch dock (like vanilla's 4 dockable icons in the launch bar)
[Droid Eris Android Development] gale7273:
My favorite by far...i keep downloading other roms only to return to this one within minutes...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Purple Drama Llama:
Oh really....... That's not what you said 2 years ago........:confused::confused::confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
I still love the style of espresso, and the speed of this rom. Hope everything is going well with your family!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gale7273:
Oh really....... That's not what you said 2 years ago........

hahaha to funny!!! I really do love this rom though!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zigzackattack:
By the way, I think it is worth mentioning that I love the bubbles. They are one of my favorite parts of Espresso (next to the dialer). Once live wallpapers can be added this rom will be PERFECT!.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Cheers to that. The bubbles are part of what separates Espresso from regular Sense, imo. I didn't like them at first, until I realized that they lend a certain sense of uniformity to the whole homescreen - makes it look cleaner to me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
Holy Crap this is the most gorgeous ROMs I've ever used on the Eris. All I can say is wow. It is literally on par with anything HTC has ever put out. Keep up the good work. Get those bugs fixed and I'll be looking forward to future Revs. I would love to see JIT included.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
I'm still working on Rev8, just a heads up! Have so much going on in my life right now I'm finding less and less time to work on it, but that should change soon!
[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
Well it's awesome. Keep it up. I would love to see the speed of this ROM match xtrSense 3.1, as this one is so much prettier. That sucker hits 300 in quadrant overclocked to 748Mhz. It helps that it has JIT, which bumps up quadrant scores a good 50 points. JIT seriously makes that ROM. I would love to see it in this one too.

Well I just installed the ROM and have been messing with it for the past hour or so and it won't stop syncing. I have no idea what it's even syncing, but it won't stop. It his shows the syncing icon in the notification bar all the time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PPCGeek01:
Stuck sync is a common problem when synching Facebook for Sense. Only workaround for me is to cancel synch, then manually restart it. It completes after that until the next scheduled synch (reduce frequency to alleviate some).
[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
It can't be that common. I've never seen it happen and I've had my Eris since release day and have run many many ROMs.

I'm going back to xtrSense3.1 for now. It's lightning fast and doesn't have any bugs. Though I will say this ROM is the most beautiful ROM I've ever used, but it's just too buggy and laggy for me right now. It's doesn't operate as smoothly as I'd like and has some bugs to be worked out. I'll keep an eye on it though and look forward to future releases. If it can match the silky smooth performance of xtrSense, I'll have no problem switching to this.
