Hmm well the battery tweak is not on and running per the false value displayed in the log...

Did you flash the official release or just what I posted as beta? One of the few bugs in the beta was that I forgot to make the batter tweak enabled script set it for boot as well...

So it looks like you need to download and flash the officeal release and then enable battery tweak and you should be good to go.

You should not have any issue with a no wipe and can just flash the updated ROM over your current install.

Let me know if this works :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I recommend EasySwitch, been using it for several months. One click Widgets for many settings including 3G and GPS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I thought I did use the official release, but I will re-download and flash tomorrow and let you know what happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Zach,

You were right, I did not flash the official release. The battery tweak stays set now. Thanks for the help and a great ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Atamagaokashii:
SwitchPro can do this. I use it all the time, and it does the job. It's a paid app though, but I'm sure there are alternatives...
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
It's not a widget, but I have become a big fan of Quick Settings: http://www.appbrain.com/app/quick-settings/com.bwx.bequick

If you press menu, you can unhide "Mobile Data" for a quick and easy toggle (along with all of the other toggles it comes with.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
I second Quick Settings. I love that you can access it from within other apps. I can turn on wifi without backing out of the browser.

I want to give Zach a hand. Your work just keeps getting better. Love the new stuff esp: lockscreen, LP integration, and boot animation. Everything seems quicker too. You are the man!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rosh400:
Zach,

After trying several Froyo ROM's I decided to give xtrROM a try and I'm glad i did. It runs faster and smoother than any of the Froyo ROM's.

I have noticed two issues that I was hoping you could address.

First, the clear button in the Notifications screen is missing.

Second, when I click on the sound and display option under settings, I get the following message "The application settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly."

Would appreciate any ideas you have. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:

Hi! Did you check the hash of the download from the SD card? Did you do a full wipe? If so, I would recommend another full wipe and reflash.

I do get the Clear button when there are notifications, and the Sound and Display options works for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rosh400:
Thanks. Where do I find the hash of the download? How do I check the hash? If the hash is bad, does that mean I should redownload the zip file?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The hash is listed where the link to the rom download is in the first post. This particular kind of hash is called an MD5.

Google for HashTab and install it under Windows. Mount the SD card to look at it's files from Windows Explorer. Find the rom file, right-click on it and choose Properties. Then select the tab that says Hash.

It'll take some seconds or a minute to compute. You can copy and paste the hash from the first post into HashTab and it'll show you a green check mark if it matches.

Yes if it doesn't match, redownload it and check the hash again.

Either way, try a full wipe and reflash, though.

Good luck, let us know what you find!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rosh400:
Thanks. I think I can handle that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Very nice tool, thanks for the info. I also downloaded WidgetLocker, also looks very good.

To follow up on a previous post of yours, Rom Manager/Clockwork have given you no issues, correct? You use them to switch between zach's ROMs?

Thanks,

Cary
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I agree with roirraW "edor" ehT in that these are most likely do to a poor install for whatever reason as they are not reporduceable...

So best advice I can give is a fresh download a complete all three wipes (data, dalvik, ext - maybe twice for good measure) and re-flash.

Good luck and let us know.

Enjoy! :D

Zach
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
Ok, so I've spent about two days with 4.6. I really like how Launcherpro is now integrated into the ROM. I used to always just download LP and run it anyway, so now it's more streamlined. I even coughed up the $2.99 and paid for Plus. :)

The new lockscreen is very classy. It goes well with my black motiff for the phone. I'm a big fan of the transparent lockscreen, but sometimes I do miss having a custom picture. I'm waiting for a script or something to easily switch back and forth between clear and picture.

Overall, things are pretty snappy. I did have a little trouble when I set the min at 16000, so I moved it back to 246000 (or whatever it is). Navigation would sometimes be super laggy if I don't touch the phone and it's idling at 16000. At the upper end, I like running at 744800 max. Anything slower and I really notice a difference, especially with intensive apps like Navigation and Google Voice for texting.

I tried the new battery saver script and I wasn't too impressed. It seems like I was getting roughly the same battery life as before...around 20 - 24 hours. I did notice that as my battery almost drained completely, the lag was really bad. I know that it was just doing its job and scaling back the CPU, but I decided to disable the script. I'm very anti-lag.

I haven't encountered any conflicts with apps. However, there seems to be a problem with adding an app-generated shortcut to the homescreen. I can't use Bettercut or Brighterrific, but it might be a problem with Launcherpro and not with the ROM.

xtrROM 4.6 is great and I'm always looking forward to the newest releases from zach. Keep up the awesome work! Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
I wonder if the app itself is haywire for Google Voice... It is the only thing slow on my phone. Any ideas on that?

Otherwise, I've also opted out of the battery tweak... i get the concept but why you start slowing the cpu down on a phone that is already pretty slow, you start seeing some issues pretty quickly.

I am seeing one problem. I get through the whole setup for Exchange activesync with the stock mail app. I get to the selection screen to pick what parts of the mail I want synced (mail, calendar, contacts) and hit Finish Setup. This chugs and chugs but eventually fails saying Cannot create the account at this time. I worked with my exchange guy here and he said my settings were correct on the phone. He also has an android phone. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome, I hope it helps!

You're welcome. I also like HashTab's author's humor. His EULA: "HashTab is the coolest thing ever...". Also the fact that his website is http://beeblebrox.org/; and so must be named after Zaphod Beeblebrox of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

Correct about ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod Recovery. I use them all the time, flashing, backing up, restoring, et cetera. And I've only used (haven't even tried others since) Zach's ROMs for the past two plus months.

I also like that with the ROM Manager app, you can queue some processes together, like telling it to flash multiple zips, one after the other (for replacing bootscreens or whatever), the option of when telling it to flash a zip from ROM Manager to checkmark the options to create a new backup and then do a full wipe before flashing.

So it's all done for you, plus the Clockwork Mod recovery reboots for you at the end.

Some automation can be scary in some cases, but I haven't once had an issue with this yet, and I've used it extensively.

If your phone ends up pregnant, however, I'm not ponying up the child support. :D

P.S. I will mention that often after you tell ROM Manager to do something, it doesn't reboot into recovery on it's own. I know Zach includes Quick Boot, although I prefer Boot Control. I tell it to boot into Recovery, and then Clockwork Mod takes over as it's supposed to. Also remember, with ROM Manager, Clockwork Mod doesn't actually permanently replace Amon_RA. It gets loaded from Amon_RA, which ROM Manager automates as well although you can do it manually by telling Amon_RA to flash the "update.zip" ROM Manager puts in the root of your SD card (not to be confused with root of your phone).

Installed xtrRom - working good - one thing that doesn't work is mounting phone as a disk drive. Did I miss something ( I did go into setting an set contect as a disk drive - nothing happens -( ) So what have I done wrong or need to do ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Weird one time behavior

Zach or anyone,

Today my phone was asleep in my pocket and when I tried to wake it nothing happened. No response what so ever. I tried calling my phone and nothing. I had to do a battery pull to get it started up and at which point i wiped the dalvik to be safe. this happeded once before on a previous xtrROM version. I'm not overclocked too high: 729 and i have a set cpu sleep profile of 480max 245min. Auto killer is strict. Everything is fine now, but if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Regardless of this little hiccup, this ROM is phenomenal! I have had no force closes, lag or other bad behavior. Thanks to xtrROM my eris will surely last until my next upgrade in late 2011! Thank you Zach for your hard work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Have you tried rebooting and then trying it again? I've had that happen every time while wired tethering, and it eventually sticks that way even when I stop tethering, until I reboot.

Even if you haven't tethered, I'd suggest a reboot, unless you already have. Let us know of that fixes it.

BTW, another sign I've had after a lot of tethering that a reboot is needed is that USB Debugging is stuck on in my notifications even with it unplugged.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mtbkdtbg:
Had not tethered - cked and unchked usb debugging - rebooted - moved cable around and around - not sure which got it working! Rebooted last and did the hook and unhook cable and it stated working!

Thanks for the ideas. cause one of them did it.

xrtRom 4.6 works great - have not had any problems since putting it on (2-3 days ago) Followed all ideas posts - Thanks to all that work on this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rosh400:
Download was ok. I figured out what I was doing wrong. In an effort to save time, I restored using Titanium Backup in the automatic set it and forget mode. Big mistake. I must have installed some data or setting from one of the Froyo ROMs which was causing some sort of conflict. I tested without installing any old apps and had no problems. I then started to install only those apps I really use and I was pretty sure would work on 2.1. I installed about 4 at a time and tested after each group. Still no problems. I now have everything installed that I want and need and still no problems. As they say, slow and steady wins the race.

I have two issues remaining - at least that I am aware of right now. First, I like the Dialer One dialer -- is there anyway to make it the default dialer. If I need to run a script or the like, please post the script language that I can cut and paste into file and copy onto the SD to install into gscript. Thanks.

Second, when I try to enable the battery tweak, it says that the operation is not permitted for mount. and then it cannot create /system/etc/usersettings/conf/, and then it says that user_service_battery_tweak_value permission is denied, then it says that it cannot create /data/boot_log.ext, and then finally it says that the battery tweak service has been enabled but the value for battery tweak on is false. I think all the problems stem from not being able to mount. If I am correct about this, what do I need to do? If this cause is something else, what is it, and what to I need to do?

Otherwise, I am really very pleased with this ROM. It runs very well on my phone so far and I am thinking I finally found a ROM to stick with. Great job. I don't have a clue about how you do what you do. It's all magic to me. I stopped programming when FORTRAN 77 went out of style.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

I am having issues with Gmail not pushing messages. I tried clearing data in Gmail and Gmail Storage.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ol' Blue:
Zach,

I have the same force close on the sound and Display options. The MD5 checked out OK before flashing. I have wiped and flashed a couple of times, but it is still there. It is not a deal breaker, but just so you know it is doing the same on other phones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think the other guy figured out what happened: that he restored too much (from froyo in his case) with Titanium Backup. Have you done the same by any chance?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ol' Blue:
That could be it. I did use Titanium Backup. I was just reading his post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
Zach, I have a recurrent problem with the browser crashing when viewing full size picture images in landscape mode. I have read some chatter about browser force closes because of flash. I am not sure I believe flash is the source of my issue. This error does not result in a force close proper. The browser window just vanishes and you are back on the home screen. If you open the browser it resets back to the homepage. (meaning its not on the page it was when it disappeared)

Thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Come to mention it, while Dolphin Browser HD wasn't working for me, the regular browser would often just disappear, and I would have to load it twice because the first time it would disappear and the second time it would stay for the most part.

Then finally Dolphin started working again.

Launcher Pro as default?

I'm having a heck of a time trying to remove LauncherPro from this once I flash. Does anyone have any insight?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Launcher Pro is the only launcher that is available so you would have to install a different home launcher before LP can be "removed"...

Helix and ADW are available in the market...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonkillops:
Thank you for your quick reply Zach. I have installed an alternate launcher. Just on a quest to completely remove Launcher Pro and haven't figured out how to do that yet with this rom.

BTW! I jumped over to this rom from xtrSense and absolutely love it! By far 2 of my favorites. Thank you!!!

After playing around with various ROMs, I have really come to appreciate all the simplistic beauty of this one.

However, I BEG of an option if possible...

Can the slide unlock from an incoming phone call be disabled?

The green & red hard buttons work perfectly fine for answer/deny

Pocket answering is my seriously major issue with my Eris, and I would love it

if it would never happen again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes you can
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks for the kind words :D

Unfortunately no as the phone app is all HTC and I cannot do much to their set pieces...

Anyone else have any ideas or found a setting that would help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Widget Locker replacement lock screen has an option to require unlocking before allowing the send and end keys. I don't use that feature myself but I bought it for all it's other great features.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GhostRing:
I gave Widget Locker a try - and it does work, but is seems to take too long to activate. i.e.: incoming calls start out with OEM slider, 5 sec later it turns to WL slider. Maybe I have my settings wrong, but that still allows the orig. to work...

Oh well - enough of that sidetrack! :D

Anybody have any issues with the calendar? I can open it and view the month, but when I select any individual day to actually bring up the appts, it just force closes on me. I tried searching through the thread and wasn't sure if anybody has seen this issue or not.

Otherwise, I love this rom. Great work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wholewheatbread:
Thanks Zach for xtrROM 4.6 and thank you Conap for CFS v5. I'm running the two together and it appears to be smoother and faster than BFS (in my opinion). Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] cryoptic:
I installed xtrROM on my Eris and like it alot. The only application missing that i need is Notes which syncs with Microsoft Exchange. I was wondering if it's possible to add this into your ROM or install it as an apk? I downloaded a HTC Notes.apk which is different from the v2.1 Notes. I also downloaded Notes apk from another website but when i installed it via Astro, the phone does not recognize it and states that "activity not found." Any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I have not heard of this issue... Did you you complete all 3 wipes with flashing?

Sorry but I do not have much more for you... :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] RS36:
I did all three when I did xtrSense. Maybe one day later I flashed this one, but skipped the normal wipes and just flashed it, so I'm sure this is a self inflicted error. At the time I just wanted to avoid having to d/l and install all my apps again.

Edit: I just noticed that it FC when I opened up the Accounts & Sync under Settings too. I'm at work and have some free time, so I'm going to properly do all 3 wipes and re-flash this. I'll update the status. Could be my own mistake.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RS36:
Ok, my apologies. It works fine once I did the proper wipes and re-flashed it. I guess that's what I get for trying to short cut it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
that's what I have noticed with zach's roms... for everything to function properly it is recommended to do all 3 wipes when flashing a newer version of a rom

that has worked every time whenever I encounter a problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cmotion:
I was just wondering if people have been using or having much luck with the collins battery tweak in the latest version of this rom? I flashed it a few days ago and wanted to just go with the provided settings for a while to see how they work out. I'm wondering if this script works well for 2.1 roms or if it's mainly beneficial for 2.2? Also, AMAZING work on xtrROM 4.6... definitely the standard by which all others will be judged for me personally. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
just noticed with this rom... could just be me, but maybe not, that bettercut does not work at all...

go through the process of making the icon, choosing the icon, blah blah blah, but when I click on create or whatever it goes to the next screen but nothing happens... no icon on the home screen or anything

anyone else run into this at all??
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I think that it's a problem with the Launcherpro. I briefly tried another rom and used LP 0.8.1 and Bettercut didn't work there either.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
yeah, i shouldnt have been so hasty to blame the rom as I should have been blaming launcherpro
[Droid Eris Android Development] RS36:
I know this will sound ridiculous, but here goes.

I came from froyo to this rom and I love this rom. It solved a ton of my performance and battery issues and I'm pretty sure I'll stick with this one throughout the life of my Eris.

However, when I was on froyo I had the battery percentage showing in the taskbar and heavily relied on that. It is literally driving me crazy that I don't have that anymore. I've tried a few widgets but they didn't really do it for me.

I've been searching for themes for this rom that would include it but haven't found much luck. Is there any chance that could be included in an update or could someone point me to a theme or something that would have this? I would be forever in your debt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I know how you feel. That's one of the things I really like about Cyanogen-based roms, but so far I've only replaced that with Widgets.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
Try the app Battery Indicator in the market. It's free and pops the battery remaining percentage in the notification bar, always visible.

[Droid Eris Android Development] johnny quest:
I'm having that double notice thing on this rom. I tried everything. I get a message and then a second message comes out, and then a unread message pops up on my status bar. how do I shut this off?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
So are you getting two messages or two notifications?

Have you installed any other messaging apps?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've considered that solution myself, but the only caveat is that it uses another spot of the already prime notification bar real estate.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Kernal question

Zach has the other kernals listed in the first post, but does anyone really recommend flashing to the CFS? I liked this kernal on the froyo roms, but I am kind of new and don't know if this will be a real advantage here. Just wondering. Thanks for your help and patience with me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RS36:
Same here. It's doing what I want, but I don't want it in another spot.

Again, I know it sounds crazy because it's such a small detail but relied on it all the time.

For now I've just been actually checking SetCPU every once in a while to get the percentage. I suppose that will have to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnny quest:
I'm getting double notice not message. I'm getting the message icon on top and then a mail message icon next to it. I was using the stock messages then try turning it off and installing Handcent and still getting the same notification.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Shakes The AssClown:
Go into the Message app and turn off the auto retrieve and then go into the notification area and turn off the notify in status bar.

How can I get the android 2.2 dialer apk on xtrRom 4.6.

I have been looking for the file but haven't found it, and also is it a quick install and save as deafualt or is there more to it?

Thank You
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I have yet to try but it is unlikely that the 2.2 dialer will work on xtrROM... :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Tried CFS v5 for twos days on XtrROM4.6 and I did now like it. Felt laggier to me and not as responsive as Zanfur kernel. Zanfur is so snappy in my opinion.

Tried battery tweak for a week and did nothing for me. Honestly running "stock_cpu script" runs perfect and just as fast as it being overclocked! Its crazy how fast this rom runs @ 528/245. My battery is good, my cpu is not going to be running hard and it feels like a fast ass phone :)
