yeah thats what i think too..but since i did the over the air update to the 2.1 i didnt think I could do any roots or whatever. I am not that knowledgable when it comes to the roots or any of that. I would like to do that so I can fix my phone and actually use it. Can you please provide me with step by step instructions on how to do that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ljbaumer:
ok i am not responsible for this but here is the link to the instructions:http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53963-guide-stock-1-5-latest-root-2-1-a.html

also this will void your warranty so you can't get a free replacement from verizon after you root

update: these are instructions for windows if you search around you can find instructions for linux and mac (i rooted on a mac so if you need help PM me and i will respond when i can (i am not an expert))
[Droid Eris Android Development] naenaek22:
ok so once i dothe root or whatever will my contacts still sync with google?? I cant get a replacement phone anyhow because I bought this phone from a private owner, but I did not have problems with it until right after I did the upgrade a few weeks after I bought the phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Here is a link to a thread that will take you through the root process. These guys, ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle, know their stuff! They even made an app to do the hard part.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661413
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Yes, you can still sync with Google. (Did someone say g00gl3?) Lolz

Anyhow, just do some research as you choose which rom to load. Every rom has it's own features and charateristics. Also, make sure to create Nandroid backups whenever flashing from rom to rom just in case of issues. Good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] naenaek22:
ok since i am very illiterate about the whole rom thing and all that..can you please in your opionion tell me which way to go?? I wont hold anything against you I just want to be able to use my freakin phone. I dont really care about the techy stuff as long as i can use the apps and text and make calls I am good. I looked at the link you provided "google" lol..and i am not sure quite how to do it. I know i am being a big pain right now I just dont want to mess my phone up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
actually the jumpy screen while charging thing is pretty common I believe its a hardware issue though...its my belief the mini usb connecter on the eris is shoddy

plug in the charger and wiggle it you may notice the connetor is not properly fastened to the phone

fyi DO NOT hold the phone up or horizontial by the usb plug...my wife did that to both our phones and ever since then it will flake out

a quick fix would be to plug in wiggle it and unplug you want the mini usb connector back in alignment
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
No worries - everyone is hesitant at first - no one wants to brick their phone...

What kind of computer do you use; Windows, Mac, or Linux? This is important for following the root procedure.

I still believe the EMA app that I linked is your best bet. It handles the tough command line tasks for you.

As for a rom, you can see by my signature that I prefer Sense-able 3.1 from Jamezelle. But I also really like Evil Eris 2.0.1 by Framework43.

I would probably suggest Sense-able 3.1 for you because it is based on an Eris build. I have found it to be very stable and doesn't really need any tweaks to run well.

*Just wanted to note that I am in no way knocking any other roms or devs on these boards. Thank you to all the talented devs out there for all the work you do!!!*
[Droid Eris Android Development] naenaek22:
i downloaded the sensible rom..as far as the app goes how do I go about getting that or whatever?? I am running windows..but the sensible rom file is downloaded to my desk top i havent done anything with it yet beings that I dont have a clue as to what I am doing lol..
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
use the app that jamezelle and i made. its super simple. were always on the irc server if you need help. chat.andirc.net
[Droid Eris Android Development] naenaek22:
i am working on downloading it now, i am downloading the net 4 thing ..but i am going into this blind..
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Just download the EMA app and use it. The thread has instructions to use it. Just read the part about pre-requisites to install the needed software. Then run EMA and follow the center column of 4 commands. Thats really all there is to it.

Like I said earlier, ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle do great work and are willing to provide help. As he said above...
[Droid Eris Android Development] naenaek22:
i have done everything as far as the downloads and stuff and when i got to reboot my phone and hold down vol down plus power my phone doest read the image?? It goes from scanning the files to a screen that says hboot then below that it has instructions ie...<vol up> for next selections...then says fastbook recovery clear storage and simlock..

i have reformated my sdcard and redid step 2 to root my phone and still nothing..any ideas???
[G1 General] legend221:
According to boygeniusreport.com the HTC Vision, a rumored Android smartphone is in fact a variant of the Desire complete with a sliding FULL QWERTY keypad.

See original article here --->> http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/05/21/htc-vision-rumored-to-be-a-desire-with-qwerty-keypad/

I'm hopeful it comes to the U.S. as we need a direct competitor to the Verizon Droid phones that are confirmed out.

More importantly we need a truly amazing phone to finally move on from the HTC Dream/G1 :D

Specs:

3.7″ WVGA display

5 megapixel camera

1GHz processor

Android 2.1 or 2.2?
[G1 General] mejorguille:
the desire has sense. The G1 is stock android. There is a world of difference between the two, i for one hate the look of sense. And that picture is a mockup lol not really wheat teh phone will lokk like
[G1 General] legend221:
Its an artist rendition, no one said that's how its going to look like. hahaha

For now its a rumored phone but many different sources are indicating the validity of the claim so more likely than not it will likely appear in the following months.

Most people have been waiting for a upgrade from the HTC Dream/G1 for a long while now.

Thanks for your comment but not everyone is going to agree with you.
[G1 General] legend221:
Found this in a few minutes, even if it does have "Sense" so you can easily turn it off :D

Just like you would with a custom Rom, I do this all the time if I choose to change the Launcher or Home Replacement. LOL

------>> http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/22/how-to-turn-off-htc-sense/
[G1 General] xrCore:
Or you could root the phone and tell Sense to **** off. I for one can't wait for a Nexus-like device with a keyboard. Why didn't HTC make one sooner? They knew the G1 sold like hot cakes.
[G1 General] davidemartindale:
God, I've been dying a good HTC qwerty phone. I've been using my MT3G for near a year now, and have gotten pretty used to the virtual KB, but I gotta say I still miss my old G1's slide out KB
[G1 General] pziv2:
Its not technically a G1 sucessor IMO. The myTouch Slide is.
[G1 General] legend221:
Look closely at the Mytouch Slide specs, its a step back and is more last generation than Next Generation.

We need something that can compete with this:

--->> http://phones.verizonwireless.com/htc/incredible/
[G1 General] jriv:
i dont fully agree with that the specs are right on and better in some places than the motorolla droid so its not last generation at all. plus it looks fast and is getting the 2.2 update so i dont see how its last gen if its getting all the new hardware and has the same specs as one of the better selling phones
[G1 General] legend221:
Mytouch Slide may look like a duck but it doesn't quack like a duck:

The 600MHz ARM processor is unacceptable vs the 1GHz processor the Vision would have, Droid Incredible has now.

Just like a computer the faster the processor the better the device.

T-Mobile needs to be cutting edge so it retains its customer base, everyone and their grandma wants to have an Android now :D

If they don't stay at it to offer the newest, most innovative android phones there are plenty of other companies that will.
[G1 General] hypersonicx:
I fully agree. You can look at the mytouch slide and can see it was a step back in hardware from Nexus and a step back from the high end Android phones on Verizon / Sprint *Evo an Incredible* So I wont be wasting a 2 year agreement on the mytouch slide but will also wait for a 1ghz keyboard android phone.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
That is a very bold statement and totally flawed. One could conceivably shoehorn a 6-core opteron chip onto a phone and it would be wickedly fast and versatile, problem is that it would drain the battery dead in SECONDS. You really need to think about things for a bit -- why, if "faster is better" would intel be making such a killing off the ATOM chips? Why isn't anyone building phones with Intel's or AMD's fastest chips?

Because faster is NOT better! In a phone, EFFICIENT is better. The difficult part about building a phone is balancing the performance with the available BATTERY CAPACITY. You can make a wickedly fast phone, but without battery technology capable of keeping it running for a decent amount of time, it is pointless.

IMO, the 720x chips in DREAM/MAGIC are plenty. The 3D component could use some advancement, but the CPU itself is lots. We're not trying to win speed races here!

T-Mobile is NOT A PHONE MANUFACTURER!!!!

They are a MOBILE SERVICE PROVIDER.

The phones they sell are made by any number of actual hardware manufacturers, including HTC, Motorola, Nokia, etc. Having one phone or another really doesn't matter in terms of SERVICE PROVISION. Especially since they use SIMCARDS -- you can buy ANY phone you like and use it. The only things affecting whether they have customers or not is their PRICE and SERVICE QUALITY.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
I know that that's just a painting of what someone expects the phone to look like and it doesn't necessarily match anything, but I really hope that if this device is real, that it doesn't have that stupid angle between the keyboard and the screen. A straight slide is fine, but too many weird movements really will destroy durability.

On the plus side, if the picture is accurate, the keyboard looks just about PERFECT. Even better than the DREAM's keyboard even, and that's saying a lot! 5 rows with ARROW KEYS!!!! Beautiful.

Only thing we'd have to do is strip that SENSE crap off it!
[G1 General] Tom in AZ:
If it is going to look like that then I am in for one. I am not going to give up my G1 until a good phone comes out to blow it out of the water. Even more so now with having rooted my phone and CM 5.0.7 stable installed. I just hope we can kill some of the bloatware fluff and keep it smooth because T-Mobile insist on limiting us on RAM.... WTH? An extra 512mb is only a few cents more, pass the cost onto the customers if that is such an issue!
[G1 General] legend221:
In regards to the faster processor someone just has to read from the experiences a Nexus One user has about the performance and realize that a 1Ghz is indeed wanted by current users pushing thier G1's to its limits. Its up to the person if they want a 600Mhz or a 1Ghz processor true enough but for me the 1Ghz is a no brainer. Most of these Nexus One owners are mainly ex-G1 and Mytouch so only they can understand the real difference which is quite significant espcially due to them not having a keyboard anymore and them being satisfied with thier purchase.

There are times when I am using an emulator and saying to myself how much smoother and less laggy this would be if I ran a phone with a better 3D processor and a faster CPU to support it. Im sure many others would also agree with this.

Also, no one said T-Mobile was the phone manufacturer but it is up to them which phones they have in thier lineup one way or another. I know how and why but thats beside the point. Verizon in particular with thier marketing dept. have made the "Droid" franchise one of the biggest one yet, I am reminded daily when there is a commercial on the TV. I love T-Mobile but also realize that if they do not offer a suitable G1/Mytouch replacement with a modern eye pleasing body and styling, high quality and suitable size screen, full qwerty keyboard, 2.1 or 2.2, high megapixel camera, bleeding edge CPU, capable 3D processor and a suitable battery to support all of this many people are going to leave the company if they havent already.

We all realize this website is almost exclusive for our HTC phones. While many buy unlocked phones at a premium price many more xda members actually get thier phones directly from thier service provider as I said when I mentioned T-Mobile earlier because with a contract it is more than paid for through the length of it. Most of the time its under $200.00 with a 2-year contract vs. $450.00+ without if its new to the market and cutting edge.
[G1 General] Digitaldreamer7:
If you want a 1ghz processor, get a nexus one. End of story. If you would rather have a 600mhz processor and a keyboard, get a slide. You have options. No sense in *****ing about them or blaming companies for YOUR inability to make a decision. If you want the droid, get it, if you want the incredible, get it. Problem is YOU don't want to pay for it, you want it for free or discounted. Well, Your also SOL. SO pay the price to get what you want, or don't and get something more in your price range.
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
We know what high end phones should be. Right now that seems to be similar spec'd phones to the Evo, Incredible, etc. Adding a keyboard does not add much except bulk. So why are they not making equivalent high end sliders? Who knows?

Adding a keyboard is not going to add a drastic drain on battery life. So arguing that sliders should not get a 1 Ghz processor because of battery drain, when there are phones already out with the same processor, is moot.

All we are asking for is equivalently spec'd phones to the current high end line of iClones. It is not that difficult to grasp... Really. I promise.

Personally, I would pay $1000 or more for the right high end Android slider... They just don't make it yet.
[G1 General] sketoe:
Certainly looks a lot better than the MyTouch Slide. I hope it's something like that phone. I love my G1! Especially the keyboard. Really hope they make a new G1.. :\

I did a post about it.

[G1 General] djteotancolis:
the keyboard looks like the touch pro 2 one...looks like a fake image?
[G1 General] Tom in AZ:
I am going to add a little more to my last post...

As long as they do not try to mimic the Verizon Kin Two in looks I will be happy. I was attempting to mess with that phone yesterday at the Microsoft Store in Scottsdale, AZ..... Personally I think the feel sucks, it was harder to type on than the G1, and it was slow loading up pages. The only thing I did like was the heavy clear coating on the outside on the top of the phone.

Any way i can fix this ? Thanks

status_bar_background

Has anyone been able to get the status_bar_background to be transparent? if you go full transparency on the png it turns black. I searched through the drawable-hdpi and can't find anything...its obviously somewhere else, but I can't find it.

Thanks for this, nice and mellow on the eyes, goes well with gimpsta's original dark HTC_IME keyboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RogerPodacter:
i see froyo CAN be edited to change the status bar somewhat. any way to use transparent status bar at all? i use desire black notification bar currently with cm507, but want to try froyo but this is holding me back. as long as i can get away from the white stock status bar in froyo, i will upgrade!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
I renamed it to update.zip, booted into recovery and tried to flash it. I got e: signature verification failed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RogerPodacter:
You don't rename it, that might not work right. You just flash it with its current name.

I think naming something "update.zip" makes the recovery look for something completely different.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
right. Also, after installing amon recovery, I kept booting into the default recovery because I had a /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script which I renamed.

It's working now. Ha! The gray status bar is sweet. Much better than a gay bar.

Sad, I really want a darker bar that doesn't cause burn-in on my AMOLED :(

CM6 RC2 has an option in the settings menu that allows you to choose your own, custom bar color. Why the hell are you trying to flash a new status bar when you can make your own?

Hopefully alpha values will be possible in future :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rmagruder:
Because I didn't see an option in CM 6 to change the status bar BACKGROUND. I've changed all the other colors. If the status bar background can be changed, I'll look again.
