Beta Testers ---- Re: [ROM][6/3/2010] xtrROM2.0 [stable,lwp, oc]

Would anyone be interested/willing to be a beta tester for the next release? I have found & stripped out quite a bit more "bloat" and have been playing with internal memory allocation for improved performance... have found no issues on my phone but with the level of changes wanted to make sure it performs well on other hardware and usage patterns...

If so please pm me

Thanks!

Its speedy, but my 3g signal sucks with this, between 1-2 sometimes dropping to 1x. Every other Rom i've used gives me no less than 3.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
*228 option 2
[Droid Eris Android Development] tonyb81:
that was the first thing i did when i noticed the low signal...no fix.
[Droid Eris Android Development] I mean...Really?:
Been thinking about trying this ROM for a few days. Can somebody tell me which calendar app this uses? The ROM I am using now allows the calendar to go in landscape, which I am loving due to my fat fingers and how much I use the calendar. Could somebody check to see if the calendar goes in landscape?
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
so i use an old version of the rom, but i use launcher pro, so it really depends more on the launcher, not the rom persay.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I was finally able to reproduce :D

Now I will have to see if I can find a cause/fix...
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I'm really looking forward to using xtrROM 4. Everything was very smooth and slick. Just need that darn Gmail to sync... Thanks for all the hard work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] I mean...Really?:
Ive used Launcher Pro and ADW on several sense based ROMs and the calendar never went lanscape. It wasn't until I uses a non sensed based ROM and didn't have the HTC calendar that I had it. I assume it was stock android, but not sure. I am on White Widow right now and love a lot about it, but it is still a little buggy. That's why I wanted to try this one, but I will hold off if the calendar does not go landscape.
[Droid Eris Android Development] buff12db:
This ROM keeps getting better and better. I tried KAOS V29 out, as it looked like most of the bugs have been fixed. I constantly got FC's, and it ran slow and buggy.

4.0 seems even faster than 3.0.3, and 24 hours in, I couldn't be happier (unless I got a phone upgrade).

Thanks so much for building such a GREAT ROM!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
I love this ROM. Great work. Fast, smooth and fluid. Works like it should in my opinion. I haven't encountered any issues with the device, but that doesn't mean I won't. (At least I hope I won't!) Only thing I would want at this point would be the vanilla message app for more consistency with the theme, but that is just my opinion.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
you all probably know this already, Gmail i have to manually hit synch to get emails downloaded. Used to get push style email before (within seconds).

I have all my usual settings and still have to manually download emails.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mistaj:
Yeah, zach said he's lookin' into it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
it's not the end of the world for me. I 'd rather stick with this rom for its stability and speed. I can deal with having to hit the refresh button in Gmail.

This rom is as close to being perfect (for me)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Yes, the calendar supports landscape

Can't boot xtrRom

I have been running xtrSense 3.0.1 and would like to try xtrRom. I have tried installing xtrRom 3.0.1, xtrRom 3.1 and today tried the beta 4.0. With each, following the double wipe, after installing zip from sd card, the boot animation came on, but never finished booting. (Is this a boot loop?) I waited for up to an hour, and it never booted. Any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
i would re download the zip files again. transfer to the sd card. both wipes, ref lash again. also make sure your battery is close to 100%. lo battery can cause weird issues. sd cards can also have corrupted sectors so a reformat of the sd card is a good idea.

usually a bad sd card and or low battery has caused me problems in flashing new roms.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
Zach,

Thanks for your awesome work. Installed 4.0.4 yesterday and have had the gmail sync problem since. It will sync if i hit refresh within the gmail app, but other than that didn't sync yesterday. The funny thing was that this morning when i woke up i had gmail waiting on me. I guess that it synced sometime overnight, but i tested when i got to work and emails are not pushing through yet. Keep up the good work, and I am willing to test or help out any way that I can to help you fix this problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Zach, as always, an amazing ROM. I've flashed almost every ROM in this forum, and I always come back here. It's always smoother, faster, and more stable than anything else, even with lower linpack scores than the competition.

The only issue I can find, and this has been with all 2.1 ROMs, is that with JIT enabled, USB tether is insanely unstable. It literally reboots the phone every 5-7 minutes. Easy fix for that though. Turn off JIT. I truly think this runs better without it.

Thanks again for your hard work. I can't wait to see what's next. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilol'd:
Every thing about this rom works great, but i can't seem to get wired tether working. Is anybody else experiencing this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
always been an issue with the rom actually, zach has posted occasionally asking for tips with regards to this, no luck so far i would assume
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
What problems are you guys having? Mine has always worked from version 3.01 forward. However, I can't promise the version of the wired tether app I have is the same. I always restore the one I had.

This is the one I use, which is apparently the one in version 4? Zach has it linked in the first post. You do have to watch the Super Permissions though. It asks twice on connect, and twice on disconnect and this will sometimes confuse superuser.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilol'd:
I plug it in and enable wired tether but i can't seem to find it in my computers networks like i do when using wireless tether. I am running windows vista.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Check out THIS first. Make sure you have the RDNIS driver installed via one of the methods described. With the phone plugged in, enable the tether. If Windows does not see it as a NEW device, your drivers are wrong.

I had something weird with Win 7. It didn't want to detect it as a new device until I removed HTC Sync. I could then install the RDNIS driver. Only then could I go back and install sync. Read through that page though, that's how I got it working.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
I've spent all morning reading this thread. I'm about to download v.4... just unclear on one thing. I'm currently on white widow 4.6 which uses app2sd, before i flash xtr do i have to do anything with the s.d. card like uncheck it in the settings or should i just do a nandbackup, wipe the phone and flash xtr?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilol'd:
Thanks I got it working. I didn't have any drivers installed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
FYI

I may not get a chance to get back on xtrROM4.0.5 (gmial sync fix) untill this weekend :(

I havent forgot this one is just going to take some time to trial and error with LOTS of reflashes to get fixed...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
Zach take your time and thank you for such great work. I am rom jumping this week. So gonna use this time to check out froyo.

When I go back to 2.1 its going to be XTR ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
just make sure you do all wipes Wipe Dalvik-cache, and Wipe SD:ext partition
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
Ok thanks man, can't wait to try it out
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
This is by far one of, if not the best roms I have had the pleasure to use. It's fast, responsive and stable. I also like the implementation of Gscript. So hopefully it's close to getting out of beta like xtrSENSE although, it's pretty close to perfect right now..
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM4.0.6-beta

xtrROM4.0.6-beta is out! Includes Gmail sync fix and default overclock support of 710400 with fun new GScripts to change back to stock and run a report to see what frequencies your cpu has been running at :D

THIS WILL BE A FULL WIPE UPDATE from earlier beta releases as the cause I found for Gmail not autosyncing was caused by resigning ROM apk files with the public key :eek:.

Let me know of any issues come up but this "realy" should turn into the final release :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
xtr sense up to 4.0.6 how about xtr rom? Hoping for an update on that so I can go back to a non OC'D rom..that runs just as fast if not faster than an oc'd one :) nevermind...I need to learn to read lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] wholewheatbread:
4.06 now! Awesome. Too bad I'm at work. I hope to get some time to download the new .06 version. Is the 50% bug an issue for phone performance? I get it with your ROMs - just FYI...

Thanks Zach for continuing to build on this great ROM. This is still the best one out there.:D

I'm running 4.04 with no issues. I'm excited for your "final" version. Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
Did you post the download link? I only see the base 3.0.3. Rom. Am i blind? Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] eghill1125:
Keep going down the 1st post. It is at the bottom..
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
I just flashed 4.0.6 over 3.1. Looks pretty sweet, but I miss the transparent Lockscreen from 3.1. I tried the "transparent lockscreen" method in the Themes & Apps section, but it changed the LS to stock Andriod style (left to right). Then I tried downloading 3.0.3-fixed and pulling the HtcLockScreen.apk out of there and pushing it. Again, it has a wallpaper. I must have deleted my 3.1 zip, so i can't pull that one. Does anyone have a suggestion or can post the HtcLockScreen.apk from 3.1?

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
man just downloaded 4.0.4 the other day... well thanks for the bday present! downloading 4.0.6 now!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Once someone has xtrROM4.0.6 loaded can you please confirm the Gmail sync bug is resolved?

I will then move it to the official release...

P.S. I will look to make a separate flash for the clear lockscreen as there seems to be just a few (like myself) that like it :D (older version will not work as they will either be signed with a different key or for an odex ROM)

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Gmail works! In and out!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
Yes, Gmail sync works! Thanks!

I like the clear lockscreen, but I change my mind a lot so it would be nice to be able to quickly enable and disable it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Any thoughts on the internal overclocking?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
It was set at 710/192 initially, right? I used SetCPU to 710/710 like I always do. I think 710 is good, but maybe 248 would be better for the idle speed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM4.0.6 is out!

Check the updated OP for the official release of xtrROM4.0.6! Long time coming but it turned into a very nice build...

As always enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
I flashed 4.0.6 earlier today. Is anything different with this release?
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
Ok, so I loved 3.0.3 and have been bouncing between the froyo roms and tainted tenzo and now I just reflashed 4.0.6 and holy cow. This is truly a great rom and your effort and ability really show. Thank you for a great rom.

edit: ok so I loaded Launcher Pro and holy ****, my phone is blazing. I am happy now. This is a badass rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tjthebest:
Love it! That way i dont even need to use setcpu or oc widget.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
++1 and it makes it super fast
[Droid Eris Android Development] sticktodrum:
You probably already know, but it's usually best to set setCPU with "performance" rather than the clock speeds just on the same speed. It eliminated any resources being used on governing the ondemand mode.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
Actually, I didn't know. Thanks for the tip. I'll do that from now on. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Just clear lockscreen, some included loclscreens, and a default min CPU of 248. So not really.
[Droid Eris Android Development] EricAtUNC:
I upgraded from 3.0.3 to 4.0.6 and it's blazing fast, no overclocking and running Launcher Pro Plus. Great work!

I am having an issue with apps2sd, however. I flashed the ROM, loaded and ran the gscript, then rebooted (turned phone off, then on, not the quick boot). I checked my internal memory and it said around 83mb free, which I thought was quite low. I started installing my apps from the market, which I thought would automatically be done since I was running 3.0.3 with apps2sd flashed on that version. Now my memory is around 67mb, so I suspect something isn't working right.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Run the save and clear log gscript then pull boot_log.txt from your sdcard and post so I can see what settings are in place and what the phone is doing at boot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Lucky__Charms2:
Thanks for this great rom. I am currently using 3.0.3. How do I just flash over the existing rom without doing a wipe? I tried to just do it by flashing the zip from the root of the sd card but I can never get past the boot screen that shows the three green androids so I restored from a nandroid backup. I would love to be able to upgrade to this newest release without having to reinstall all my apps all over again.

[Droid Eris Android Development] jpstorms01:
I had the same problem with apps going to internal after flashing the final over 4.0.6 beta. I just re-ran the scripts and re-booted. Everything was fine after that.

This Rom is great so far, good work zach!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Does the official 4.0.6 use the HTC calendar or the stock one? I've been having a little trouble with the Pure Grid Calendar widget since we went to HTC.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
It uses the stock HTC calendar so I am a little confussed :confused:

This has always been the calendar that I have used with xtrROM (with a very short exception of the xtrROM3.1z beta that was out for only a week while I was on vacation which used the AOSP, or vanilla, calendar)...

not sure how I can help...

P.S. you may want to try Android Agenda Widget which is what I use...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Thanks Zach. 3.1b was the first XTR rom that I had ever used, so I thought that the stock calendar was standard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Does look like it ran but for some reason the used space between your /data and /system/sd do not look like the files where moved :( in that the number are the same as before apps2sd was enabled and ran...

/dev/block/mtdblock5 159.5M 51.4M 108.1M 32% /data

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 457.4M 8.0M 424.9M 2% /system/sd

hmm........ can your reboot and get me the updated log?

What apps do you have installed? does not look like many as there is still over 100MB of free space in /data? What apps are they?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
lol that explains it! what timing...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Beautiful work zach. I have tried many roms, been told how great froyo is, but nothing but issues but xtrROM always works perfect for me. I just want to know 2 things...

1. Why has HTC not put you on the payroll?

2. How do you get the rom to operate so fast?

Of all the ROMS I have run, xtr is blazingly fast on my phone. No overclocks, no JIT and yet the phone is a beast speed wise with your rom.

Nice work man! Keep up the fantastic work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] the208:
I don't like the swipe down lockscreen that comes with this rom. Is there an alternative that will work? I'd prefer the transparent rotary style or Nexus style without the clock (like the one that comes with the Aloysius rom).

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Zach,

Both ROMs are running great. As usual, the install went flawless and smooth. Great work, thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
okay so the good news is that apps2sd DID move your /data/app and data/app-private files this time; notice how the numbers have changed for the /system/sd block and that you are now using 67.8M.

/dev/block/mtdblock5 159.5M 91.7M 67.8M 57% /data

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 457.4M 42.6M 390.4M 10% /system/sd

What you need to now do is also run cache2sd which will then move the /data/dalvik-cache to the /system/sd block. Most folks do not realized it, but it was the default of xtrROM3.0.3 to move BOTH apps and dalvik-cache to sd ;)

FYI once the script is run you should not have to run again unless you want to toggle back to internal storage...
[Droid Eris Android Development] EricAtUNC:
Available space: 123MB

You're a genius, thanks man! This ROM is awesome!

I think I might run the gscript to overclock now, I can't imagine how it could get any faster. Anyone have issues with overclocking?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Double check the op you ARE oc by default ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] teqknique:
*deleted* nevermind
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
No wipe from 4.0.6 to 4.0.1 is a no go.

Zach,

after watching two eclairs pop up i think it is safe to say that a no wipe is not working. Regardless, after a full wipe all is well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Small tweeks... see change log for details. Should be no wipe coming from 4.0.6

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Hey Zach, I'm officially spoiled. After updating from 3.1, I miss all of my vanilla apps (clock, calendar, mail......), so I installed TaintedTenzo, and althogh it has all of my favorite parts, it's just not as fast as xtr. All props to Tenzo for taking on TV and making an excellent rom, but I've been spoiled with the speed and smoothness of XTR. So, do you (or anyone else) have a link for for 3.1? (I deleted my 3.1 zip) or, is there a way to remove the htc apps and replace them with stock? I've tried installing some apps from Tenzo's rom, and some of them take and some of them don't.

Thank you for your help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] EricAtUNC:
I WILL learn how to read one of these days.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
What where your settings? I went through a few no wipe updates without issue... also what version were you coming from
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
zach, since you are the creator of this rom im really curious as to how you have your screens set up

care to share some screenshots???
[Droid Eris Android Development] sticktodrum:
I've been wondering this myself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Per request zach.xtr screen setup

I keep it simple and like the stock look/feel... Sometimes I use launcher pro with the 3D app drawer but my most common daily is attached plus I use the clear lockscreen.

As far as settings go I use the built in OC settings, JIT off, and apps2sd and cache2sd off. when running xtrSENSE I do set cache2sd on and if I ever downloaded more apps would do the same on xtrROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
Which weather widget (say that three times fast) are you using there?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
hey zach, thanks for the great rom!

i purchased the espnradio app and the streaming keeps cutting out. tried xtrsense and xtrrom. both cut the radio out. any suggestions? jit off, apps2sd on, cache2sd on, overclocked to 710.
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Youtube app isn't working...ill click on it it'll barely open then it'll close. I had same problem with 3.0.3 ass well. Am using stock oc nd no JIT?
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
dang... i just read there is no easy way to go back to clear lockscreen!!

i accidentally chose a picture as my lockscreen and I really want it back
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
As a start which ROM's does this work on for you to help me understand where my ROM may be different?

You could try downloading either Autokiller of or MinFreeManager from the market and lowering the values for the below to see if this has any effect as well...

HIDDEN_APP_MEM 5120

CONTENT_PROVIDER_MEM 5632

EMPTY_APP_MEM 6144

I run CherryPlayer Radio all the time :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
WeatherBug elite 1.99 from the market...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks will look into...

Can others report on their use of Youtube?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jpstorms01:
You tube working fine here. Have both apps and cache to sd, jit off.

i ran this rom today xtr4061 and my battery life has been very bad is this normal

i had been running froyo till last night
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Did you wipe your battery stats? They can get messed up going from ROM to ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
i didnt wipe but i have gone for rom to rom lots of time and never this bad of battery life
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I've noticed that going from a 2.2 to 2.1 ROM and back has caused my stats to look bad, I've wiped them today and I'm going to let the stats re-calibrate over a few days.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
youtube working fine for me. handcent would not send pic messages after updating from 4.0.6 to 4.0.6.1 but I am just going with stock messenger. haven't really fiddled with reinstalling handcent. i can test if you have others reporting this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Ill see what i can find this weekend...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
how is everyone elses battery life
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
ROM is da BOMB

Thank you Zach, this is by far the best Rom i have used on my Eris. I cannot find any bugs to complain about! Plenty of speed and slickness. My battery life is outstanding.

Much respect to you and your work!

[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Check to see if you have the time without signal 50% bug...

Also check to make sure a gmail or facebook sync is not running rouge in the background.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I am wondering if this is just a slow network connection... the included youtube plays in high quality BY DEFAULT so if your connection is not solid then you will experience as mentioned. Try menu >settings>normal quality from youtube.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
what is you normal batt life

i may flash it clean and try it again

i love the rom it is great work

Anyone have issues going from 4.0.6 to 4.0.6.1 without doing a full wipe? I looked and only saw a couple of posts and no resolution. I never made it past the three skate boarders screen and i tried a few times...

Going to give it one more try then guess try a full wipe...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jday:
I'm also having problems with both your Youtube app and the Youtube shortcut. When I click on the app nothing happens. When I click on the shortcut, it appears to begin to open but then quickly goes back to my homescreen. However, if I open Internet explorer and go to youtube.com, I can play youtube videos with no problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I did just a Dalvik wipe and the flash went just fine.
