Works Perfect!

Zach,

Just wanted to let you know that the ROM is working flawlessly on my Eris w/ JIT enabled. Great Job!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
JIT off, back down to stock processor speeds, cache2cache on. Very fast, nice work Zach.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcfan99:
I am unable to send any emails using the gmail app. I can read, receive, everything else - but any outgoing emails sit in the sent folder. Any ideas?

I did a full wipe and installed from the previous xtrRom. I have rebooted.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Go to Settings, Applications, Gmail and clear data and/cache.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
it is a problem with Google ....... delete the email as it sits in your outbox (sending) and try again ...... this problem always spontaneously happens and resolves for me. the whole clearing app cache that is suggested...never fixes the issue. Google around on the net and u will find major complaints @Google regarding this issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcfan99:
This had no effect, nor did deleting and trying again. I have never had this problem on any other ROM so will most likely have to flash back to the previous version if I can't find a fix. Can't function w/out my email.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmm... i cannot reproduce and the issue seems specific to you so my advice would be to redownload and reflash...

You could also try a dalvik wipe first.

Good luck
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
In my 4.0.6.1 Gscript I have Cache2cache? What does this do? I have apps2sd set and my sd card is all portioned so all my apps are on there. Currently I have like 141mb free which is awesome but if I enable cache2cache what does it do? What does cache2sd do? Am confused lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Interesting, not sure how you got the cache2cache gscript on v 4.0.6.1?.?. But that versions of the ROM does not support it... check out the OP for a description of cache2cache
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcfan99:
Reflash solved my problem.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jday:
I am currently running 4.06 and using apps2sd. I do understand that cache2cache makes apps2sd unnecessary. My question is how do I unpartition my SD card (eliminate the ext partition) and when in the upgrade process should I do this? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kobel1up:
I have been using to nexus lockscreen and everything seems good. The only thing I see so far is my beautiful widgets home screen won't update properly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
Did you try formatting the sd card?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jday:
Actually, I haven't updated to the beta yet. My real question is when, in the upgrade process, should I unpartition the SD card? Should I do it from "recovery" right after doing my nand+ext backup, but prior to doing the 3 wipes, after the 3 wipes, or after flashing the new ROM? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Follow the same steps to format the sd card as listed in the OP under Prerequisites but set the ext size to 0.

One of the Froyo experts could probably add more if anyone wants to chime in...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Psygno:
To remove the partition, enter recovery mode choose partition, set the partition sizes to 0 so the card is all fat32. The best time to do this is probably before you flash. Back up the SD card, remove the partitions, copy your stuff back to the SD card, copy the xtrROM.zip to the card, flash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
u need to do it along with the wipe and b4 the flash....

make sure to back your sd card up b4 formatting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Keep in mind that you do not HAVE to get rid of your ext partition ;)

the dalvik-cache is moved to the /cache/ file block by default and the sd ext partition will just be left alone by the ROM...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dracozny:
or you could cheat and use an extra flash card you got laying around. sometimes thats just as handy. those class 6 cards really fly if you don't got one yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Well I just got a FC from the messaging app when rotating on a send :confused: I guess I DID NOT get it fixed :rolleyes:

Can anyone else on xtrROM4.5-beta reproduce?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
just happened....... so yes

for what its worth tho.... the message sent and i received a reply while the force close box was up
[Droid Eris Android Development] infamousxsniper:
You are doing an awesome job. Fastest ROM I have ever messed with. I plan on sticking to this ROM whether you update or not. 4.0.6.1 was perfect (to me anyway) as it was and the updates are just making it more kickass. Good job.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidfanatic:
Went back to 4.0.6.1...i was experiencing to much random lag...also at times the phone would ring only once and before i could answer its a missed call. I tried full wipe install twice during the day today and finally had to downgrade back to old reliable. So far no issues with old reliable. I hope others have success as its really great being able to help with this project and want to see what great things evolve.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Hey Zach....just curious if in this release if you changed the governor?
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
Interactive governer according to the script output
[Droid Eris Android Development] exAusTiN:
Anyone else experience any problems with the newest update besides droidfanatic? Am wondering if I should update or not....
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I've been running 4.5 beta for the last day and it's been smooth for me. Gmail syncs fine and I haven't had any problems. I'm running it at 748/192, cache2cache, and JIT enabled. I used the Gscripts to set the speeds and got rid of SetCPU.

Edit: Actually, now I'm starting to get horrible lag. I've had to do battery pull a couple of times. I think it has to do with JIT since I just started playing with JIT this morning. I'm clearing out the Delvik cache now and disabled JIT. I hope it'll be ok. The problem usually happens when I turn on Meebo for chatting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
I've been running it since 9/9 with 0 issues. I set my clock speed back to stock using the script and everything works great especially gps which was giving me issues using Froyo. Gmail and Activesync work fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jpstorms01:
Been running since 9/9, have made zero changes to the stock set up. Running fine with no problems or lag.

Also, the "rotation messaging" force close doesn't seem to affect handcent, as I have not had the problem.

I also wiped the battery stats when I installed this rom, by the time I put the phone on the charger at night I'm down to 60%, with 4.0.6.1 I was down to 40%, so there does seem to be some improvement. This is with the 1750 battery.

zach should go to work for HTC, this is how these phones should run :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
I ran into a lag issue when I accidentally ran the cache2cache script after running the cache2sd script. A reflash of the rom cleared everything up. 4.5 absolutely screams! A friend of mine has an unrooted moto droid with 2.2 and xtr blows it out of the water in terms of speed and responsiveness!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hum... Did you wipe before you reflashed? If not can you post your boot_log.txt as the discribed process "should" not have caused issues :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
I don't have any bootlogs to forward on to you, sorry. I did do a complete wipe before the install. Aside from running cache2cache and cache2sd I just remembered that I had also set the vm heap size to 48 and this time did not run either the 24 or 48 heapsize scripts. I hope this helps a little bit. If there is something else I can do, let me know what I have to do. BTW, 4.5 is awesome!
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidfanatic:
Foe the folks who dont experience any lag are you keping the cpu at 710?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcfan99:
I am at 710 with no lag. I have made no changes and it is zipping right along.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nyccharlie:
hey zach will your gscripts work with other roms? such as froyo? like the set cpu and cache 2 cache?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
No only my roms as the gscripts set variables that then call custom script included in the rom. ..
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I've reverted to 4.06.1. I was in San Francisco and needed to use the GPS, but the phone kept freezing up and getting super laggy to the point that I had to repeatedly do battery pulls. I finally gave up and restored my NAND of 4.06 and I'm going to stick with that for now. I think there's a problem with the cache or memory or something... The lag is really bad when I run multiple apps. Hope that's helpful.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Most helpful...

I actually think this may be the new CFS kernel as it is highly unlikely that cache2cache could cause lag...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM 4.2 and xtrROM 4.5-CFS-beta

:DAll,

xtrROM 4.2 and 4.5-CFS-beta are out for download!

The versions are the the same with the exception of the kernel. I have set the 4.5-CFS as beta due to a some reports of lag... Sounds like we still need to work out the best setting for the new kernel... I have updated the sysinit process in this version to allow for toggle between ondemand and interactive for users to try and it is defaulted to ondemand.

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Zach,

I just want to let you know that 4.5 is running great! After re-flashing it and enabling cache2sd, apps2sd, and memory strict I have had no lag whats so ever. In fact, 4.5 is much more stable then your previous versions for me. Before, I was getting some random FC's with swype but not a single FC since I loaded 4.5.

I do have one question. What is the difference between on demand and interactive scaling?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dracozny:
i'm running 4.5 with default options and have no problems with the gps. it may be because i use gps status. I use google nav for gps multiple times a day for my job. overall compared to stock 2.1 google nav and the phone as a whole has improved dramatically.

and here i was thinking my phone was dying! now if only i could resolve the trackball issue when plugged in.... lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] thetingster:
Zach!

You're the best ROM developer out there!!!!

Hey I don't know if this is a problem you can address but when I use the multitouch keyboard it does not allow selection of the language in it's settings. When I used Multitouch with a Froyo ROM it had a setting allowing to choose English or Spanish.

It's frustrating to have to hit "shift" every time I use the word "I". With the language set correctly it will auto-select "I" when you type. It also seems to predict words better.

Thank you for the great work!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonkillops:
Zach, I am absolutely loving this ROM!!! Very fast and hasn't lagged a bit.

I noticed you have included a GScript labeled live_wallpapers.sh.

Besides allowing Live Wallpapers that will most likely overburden our little Eris's, what kind of changes does this script impose?

Woops, wrong thread. I am running xtrSense4.5 beta
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
I flashed 4.5beta. It would never pickup 1x or 3g. I couldn't place a *228 call. Did a fully data/dalvik wipe before flashing. Just did a reboot let's see... ok. A reboot fixed the actual verizon network issues. I will report back with more if needed. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
Is a full wipe needed for 4.2? I'm hesitant to jump right to 4.5, as I depend on a stable phone at work. I'd like to try 4.2 (mainly to get apps onto the SD card.. I keep getting a memory low error, even with only a few apps).

But I just flashed 4.0.6.1, and it took a while to get everything re-loaded and set up. I'm reticent to do that again right away.

Anyone tried flashing 4.2 WITHOUT a full wipe??
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
Download Titanium Backup from the market and use it to make backups of your apps and data. That makes moving in to a new ROM MUCH easier. The paid version of TB allows you to make bulk backups and restores, otherwise you have to do it one app at a time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wholewheatbread:
For what its worth:

I did a FULL wipe and then flashed 4.5. My phone is probably the fastest its ever been. Also, my battery life (after a few days) has been improved slightly. I'm back on 2.1 and taking a break from 2.2 froyos for a while. This ROM is very, very good.

Thanks Zach!
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I did flashes on both with only dalvik wipes on all of Zack's ROMs. They are all running great with no issues. Zach, these are great ROMs and you do a fantastic job. You deserve a long ride!
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Zach am running 4.0.6.1 and flashed the new Kernel. My question is how do I change the scalining governer to Ondemand? I wanna see if battery life is better that way. You think thre's a big difference from Interavtive vs Ondemand as far as perforance and battery life? I already get 20+ hrs with 4.0.61 nd the new kernel but any extra is alway good :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
The easiest way would be to use SetCPU... or to flash 4.5 as the only reason it is beta is the CFS kernel...

NAND before you try anything and good luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
Thanks! I downloaded TB, and flashed 4.2 to give it a try.

I'm not sure I can live with the keyboard, though :(. I really liked the stock Eris keyboard. Is there a way to install that without having to revert back to 4.0.6.1?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dracozny:
the batch restore is available on unpaid, I confirm each app one at a time though. which I find a good option cause I have apps backed up that I might not want to restore on a particular rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
Okay, I may have done something wrong. I ran Titanium backup and backed up all apps and system settings. I then flashed 4.2 and downloaded TB to restore everything. So far, so good.

I told it to restore apps plus system settings. But watching it, it looks like it may have over written any 'built in' apps with the backed up ones. So my gscript app looks just like before, with no options for Live wallpaper, for instance.

So did I overwrite the new gscript with old? More importantly, are there any other system files which may have been overwritten which could mess this install up? Should I just restore my nand and start over??
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
Yes, you probably did overwrite everything. Generally, the items colored red in Titanium are more dangerous to restore. Personally, I just use Titanium to backup and restore user apps, but you can try doing the system apps colored green and see what happens.

For me, the only system items that I really want to restore are my SMS messages, and I use an app called SMS Backup & Restore to do that.

See http://matrixrewriter.com/android/ - I'd read this carefully.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
I suspected as much.

Luckily (or smartly!) I created a Nandroid backup. I restored it (first time I've done that) and was pleasantly surprised that Everything was restored! (apps, data, settings, even wallpapers!)

It's getting late here.. I think I'll try again in a day or two and do it right.

Does anybody know if there is an easy way to flash or change to the rotary unlock screen for xtrROM 4.2?
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
zach i just flashed 4.2 last night but within 30 min i ran into overheating issues on the cpu...

have you come into contact with any of this at all???
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmm... i have only heard of a very few cases with the cpu running hot. Do you have a big sync that runs? Where you doing something cpu intensive while it completes all the first sync item?

Basically not sure why this would happen but would look for a rouge process
[Droid Eris Android Development] korben dallas:
So far really fast rom, great job.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
Zach, you really do rock! I'm using this keyboard on 4. 0. 6 just to try it out. It's great! I've tried better keyboard, swype, and others but never found anything better than the stock HTC keyboard til this one. Thanks for recommending. Hopefully ill get a chance to try 4. 2 again tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Hey Zach, just curious if there is going to be an xtrRom 4.5.1??? I have yet to update and I think I'll do it tonight but I wanted to check first.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
not unless a bug is found ;)

xtrSENSE had to go to 4.2.1 and 4.5.1 because I made a small mistake when building the ROM that caused a required folder to not be created... :rolleyes:

The same mistake was not made on the two xtrROM builds...

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Some folks have reported success with the following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696371

PLEASE NOTE that if you go to the rotary lock screen that the stock alarm clock WILL NOT WORK in that you will not be able to turn it off!

You can install better Alarm clock from the market as a replacement.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wholewheatbread:
Hey Zach,

Thanks for the great ROM man! Still working smooth and fast. I am on 4.5 and have had absolutely no issues since flashing about 5 days ago. If anything comes up I'll post it. Just wanted to express my gratitude!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
:D :D :D :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mer2112:
Every time I go to Accounts & sync it force closes.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
J

Have you tried a wipe of the dalvic-cache from recovery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hagbard57:
This is my new default rom

I had been looking at the rom for some time now and finally installed after I got tired of having to MacGuyver my camera every time I wanted to take a picture. Now that I have installed it this rom is not leaving my phone. My phone runs smoother than it ever did on 2.2 Zach thank you very much for your work on this rom, you are definitely the man.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
I have to agree. My best friend was asking me if i wanted to get a samsung fascinate as they are bogof i told him with the rom i have on here (xtrROM) that i don't have a reason to even look at new phones since my eris is now just as fast or possibly faster than the new phones. I to have tried all flavors of 2.2 and i always.come back to xtr. Thanks zach! You are the best dev on here, imho
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mer2112:
Only before the initial install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
It would good to try then...

This does not erase any of your settings as a data wipe.

The phone WILL take upto 10min to boot the first time as it is rebuilding all of the dalvik-cache files...

Hope this helps!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mer2112:
Thank You,

I'll try that.

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
I plan on flashing this ROM and pulling some stock apk's from Vanilla 2.0. Do you know which ones I can safely replace?

Here's what I had in mind:

Browser.apk

Calculator.apk

Calendar.apk

CalendarProvider.apk

Email.apk

Mms.apk

Also, is it better to jsut push the apk's to system/app or remove the old one's and try to install the new one's.
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Zach, or anyone: Do you see any issues with flashing the latest CFS (v5) kernel on xtrRom 4.5?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
nope just nand first! Let us know how it works for you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
If you are pushing the Mms.apk you will need to update the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml to work as well.

I think a push will be fine but would suggest a factory wipe and dalvik wipe after to "clean out" old settings
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Does the Collin_Ph Battery Tweak flash that just came out work on this ROM? Is it really worth it? Your ROM already is the FASTEST ROM and best battery life out there PERIOD!!! lol I wonder how much more juice this flash would squeeze out if it compatiable with you ROMs..?
[Droid Eris Android Development] reinert012:
Is anyone else getting a FC when opening the camera?

android.process.media is the error.

And also i dont have a gallery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
Ive been using 4.5 for awhile now and its been working perfectly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
That tweak is for froyo and this ROM is eclair
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Zach, so far so good. Will keep my eyes open!

Thanks for such good work on this ROM!

Edit: got reboot back to skateboards after launching and closing Gps Status.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
If this does not work for you let me know and I might have time to send a quick custom baked version of xtrROM your way with these items (let me know of other default you would like).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Atamagaokashii:
For some reason, a day or two after flashing 4.2 my home screens keep refreshing/reloading as if I was out of memory... I've already done a wipe of the dalvik-cache and switch from cache2cache to cache2sd to see if that was the issue to no avail. Any ideas before I wipe and reflash?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MrObvious:
Good ROM. I am on 4.2.1 and I did get the multitouch bug in the browser after switching keyboards which you may want to check on but other then that it's fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
What keyboard are you swapping with?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ncwildcat:
Stock dialer!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Stock keyboard and phone dialer

I have updated the OP under section DroidX Keyboard and Themed Dialer with a flashable .zip that will remove the DroidX Keyboard and themed phone dialer and put you back to total stock...

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmm... no ideas unfortunately... :confused:

My only thought is to watch what is resotred if you are using Titanium Backup...

good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I have not seen any issues with the camera... :confused:

The "gallery" on this ROM is the stock HTC photo app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Zach,

I just want to let you know that version 5 of the CFS kernel works quite well on 4.5. I did notice a small overall incease in snappiness and response. Battery life is excellent as always. Last week, I went 4.5 days on a charge, with the 3500mAH battery of course! Anyways, top notch work as always. Thank you for your hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jday:
I have been running 4.2.1 since it was released (non-beta) and am really enjoying it. I have Opera Mini installed as my default browser. I decided today to test YouTube and know from reading the OP that I need to use the default browser. I was surprised to discover that I no longer have the default browser on my Eris. I'm not sure why it is gone but it is definitely not there. I'm not really concerned about why I lost it, but would appreciate any help in getting it reinstalled (i.e., where do I get the file and how do I install it).

Reading some of the other posts about using .apk's from Vanilla 2.0, I downloaded that ROM on my computer and and extracted the browser.apk from it and put it on my SD card and tried to install it from that. It goes through the process but ends up with a message that it did not install. Again, any help would be apprecaited.
