Hey zach, just wanted to let you know that this is by far my favorite rom. It's amazing the work you have done with it. I have tried every flavor of froyo and 2.1 and your's is by far the best "for me" anyway. So out of curiosity do you ever plan to dip your hand into some froyo work or what..

edit: oh yeah when do you guys plan to work on vanilla again I think I want to try that one again too.

xtrROM4.5

Zach

Having heard so many great things about this ROM, I really want to like it but I had two issues when I installed it. First, I kept getting he message "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly." I click on FC. I don't see any noticeable impact on the phone but it's a pain to keep getting this message. I also have the 50 percent without signal problem that I had prior to rooting. I don't have this problem with the two Froyo ROMs that I have tried (Tazz and Kaos).

Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
On the FC issue, did you do a full wipe, including Dalvik? I've flashed this ROM about 20 times and never had a single issue.

As far as the TWS bug, I've never seen a 2.1 OTA-based ROM without it. It has to do with the modifications necessary to kill automatic updates. I really don't see a drain from it, but it does annoy me. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rosh400:
I did both the factory reset wip and the Dalvik wipe and tried installing twice with the same result. Maybe if I try again, the third time will be the charm.

I'm not tech savvy enough to follow your thinking on the time without service issue. How does the Airplane mode trick work again and does that solve it permanently or do I need to reapply occasionally?
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
The FC is just weird then. :)

You have to reapply the airplane mode trick every time you reboot.

In layman's terms, whatever the devs do to keep the Eris from "phoning home" back to Verizon breaks the part that locks our signal. If you get into the manufacturer settings, you'll see that the phone constantly cycles between GSM and CDMA, which causes the signal to appear as 50%. I set out to try to fix it once, but failed pretty miserably at it. :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Is it just me or is there no verizon wireless indication on the lock screen pull down anymore? I thought it was there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] avtomat:
zach, I love this rom, I only have two problems. I just flashed 4.2.1 onto my wife's phone and for some reason when the phone reboots, it has service for about 30 seconds then loses all connectivity. Rebooting does nothing nor does putting it in plane mode. The only way to get the phone working is to get into the network settings, and choosing the option that force closes (select radio band). I've reflashed it too. This doesn't happen on my phone, so I have no idea what is causing it.

The only other problem I've noticed is on the boot screen, "access" is misspelled. ;-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Unfortunately I do not have much for you on the lost service issue... :confused: Does she have the current radio? Do you use Titanium Backup or similar when setting up the phone? Have up made sure she has the current PRN?

I will synaptyc know on the boot as he was kind enough to custom build them for this ROM... :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] avtomat:
Everything is current and I did use TB. I used it on mine also with no problems, and we have almost all the same apps. I didn't think about that as being a problem. I guess I will try and reflash tomorrow and forget about restoring via TB.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
No Verizon here...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You can also try running the stock cpu Gscript as some phones do not like the 710...
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
24+ Hrs. of Battery life and I have 20% left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

XtrROM 4.5

CFS V5 (No lag at all)

2.42.01.04.27 Radio (Helped a lil)

Launcher Pro Plus (Sexy FAST home)

My Settings:

*GScript: Cache2Cache, Set_cpu_stock, Set_memory_strict

*I toggle 3G off and on throughout the day (If am not using it why NOT Saves A LOT) Plus my job has horrible 3G reception

*Wireless network>mobile networks>"Enable always-on mobile data" (I have checked off. That way when 3G is on and my phone is sleep is turns off but back on once phone is awake)

*Haptic feedback (off)

*Brightness pretty low

*Recalibrated Battery (Cuz I was going back and forth with 2.2 Roms)

* No AUTO SYNC for anything but Beautiful Widget every 3hr (I don't need to be constantly getting notifications. I check when I need to)

My Story:

Always been running XtrROM but last night I spent 9hrs flashing every new 2.2 Rom and tried really hard to like them. Only Nonsensikal was decent. NOTHING come close to XtrROM's speed and battery life. Its sad lol. So I flashed the newest 4.5 and recalibrated the battery. My Battery life started at 11:00PM last night (100%) left it that way and went to sleep with 3G off. Woke up 6hrs later and was STILL at 100%!!!!

Used the phone throughout the day (Toggling 3G off and on) with moderate use (facebook, few calls, A LOT of TEXTING!!!, check emails and my reg sites I go on and now I have 20% left *sighs*

ZACH good **** bro! I love my phone now! My friend with a D2 is so impressed how fast my phone is :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] avtomat:
Her phone can run fine from every frequency between 604 up to 806, so I doubt that's it. It probably has to do with TiB like you mentioned. Will let you know once I get a chance to mess with it again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdailey1981:
Can anyone help me? I can't get gapps to load. I have tried everything I know. I did flash, reboot and still no luck. plz help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] aznpenguin:
loving the 4.2.1 update. :D

the boot animation is pretty cool. One suggestion though, make the loop a little smoother? it's quite obvious when it loops....:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Things that suck

not sure when next release will be out.... :eek:

Any recomendations on the best way to get a new phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
yikes Zach, did your phone get into a fight with a wall?! Im on my fourth eris and verizon told me if anything goes wrong with my current eris then they will give me a complementary upgrade to any android of my choice. With that said, your ROM has made my phone work perfectly so thanks for keeping me from getting a new android;) haha. So now, I have to wait until next oct. for a new phone because your awesome ROM makes the eris scream!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] aznpenguin:
hmm...well.....

load the ruu and bring it in to the verizon store with good reason as to why the screen is all cracked? and insist on an eris replacement?
[Droid Eris Android Development] KarateExplosion6:
I've heard that you can do an LCD replacement for under $50.
[Droid Eris Android Development] KarateExplosion6:
Yeah, if you've got insurance on the phone you could load the RUU and get this guy replaced. If you're like me, and like to live dangerously, you opted not to buy the insurance though. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
If I could afford it, I would buy you a new phone Zach. That's how much I love your ROM.

Maybe through a little egging-on you could encourage us (your fans) to donate enough small amounts to afford you a replacement:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yeh no insurance... LCD replacement under $50 sounds good. What store(s) would you recommend?
[Droid Eris Android Development] BigBeefy:
I have the 50% signal thing going on. First time I have noticed it. Actually drained my battery from 69% last night at 10pm to a dead phone, actually off this morning at 6am. Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jday:
I think the 50% signal thing is one "bug" that just continues exist. I have it also. I've learned to live with it and have now gotten into the habit of putting my Eris in Airplane Mode anytime I turn it off/reboot. As soon as it reboots I turn Airplane Mode off and I don't have the 50% signal thing. I don't reboot that often so it isn't really a problem doing it this way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] aznpenguin:
haha, no. i'm just cheap. :D

i did buy the hard case though when i got my eris, so not entirely cheap.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
Zach I have a Question This new Kernel, the one u included in xtrSENSE 4.5.2, can be flashed on any of the xtrROMs series as well, for example on xtrROM 3.0.3, it should be fine flashing this kernel or..., i'm sorry I'm just being curious:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
I think the oddest thing about the tws 50% bug is that I can reload xtr and I will have it. But right now I am running xtrom and I don't have it, tough to nail down.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
That is correct... I plan to build the v5 kernel into an xtrROM4.5.2 this evening...
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
So you are saying we should wait for the new build?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
New xtrROM4.5.2 is up. It is beta as i have not flashed and tested but it should be good...

The ONLY change is the new v5 CFS kernel

Enjoy! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
Flashing 4.5.2 now. Will let you know how things go. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I've run xtrROM 4.5.2 for pretty much a day now and everything is going smoothly. No lag when running multiple programs. I have mine setup almost stock, the biggest thing is I have the cpu set at 74480 and memory set at strict.

I'm not really sure if CF5 is better than the zanfur kernal. I think they're pretty much the same when it comes to speed & stability. Keep up the good work, zach! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Your phone is now crunchy AND chewy! ;-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I try to like titanium backup but I give up, and yes tried donate version of latest release. It doesn't restore every single one of my apps (more icons and at least three others).

My backup pro does restore every single one of my apps. It's a lot slower than TB (I wish they would allow you to disable zip compression like in TB) but it's worth it not worrying about what didn't get restored.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
Oh, THAT sux!

But frankly, I think xtrROM is just about PERFECT!! Don't know why you'd need any further releases! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
Just a little update on my test of xtrROM 4.5.2. I've enabled JIT because my phone didn't feel as snappy as it did with 4.2. I never had JIT enabled on 4.2. Things are a bit smoother now, but I think maybe 4.2 is better for me. I'll stick with 4.5 for a little longer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
I am having issues with Facebook not syncing. Tried to do it from "accounts and sync" by adding Facebook for HTC Sense with no luck. I am guessing because this ROM is not sense-based? Is there any way I can sync with Facebook? BTW this ROM is like lightning!

BTW, Facebook is checked under people>view, but in parentheses there is a zero.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
A few things:

* Although no Sense UI this is an HTC framework based ROM and facebook sync works.

* did you try the slow facebook tip in the OP?

* facebook sync has regular issues on the facebook side which can obviously slow things down. Have not heard if it effected phone sync but facebook has been down recently http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/social.media/09/23/facebook.down/?hpt=Sbin.

* from your accounts and sycn hit the "sync now" button.

* Be patient... Even when worker, durring high volum times (i.e. lunch) facebook can be slow. When I am working on ROMs at night i.e. 1am it syncs pretty fast :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Slow facebook tip did the trick! Thanks for the support!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I'm going back to 4.2. The lag was getting progressively worse with 4.5. I think the new kernel doesn't like my phone. I still love xtrROM though! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jeffgman:
I was kind of feeling the same thing with xtrSENSE 4.5 and went to xtrSENSE 4.2 and it seems to be running pretty well now. The only difference between those two versions is the kernel so I guess that is the problem.

[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
So I decided to switch to xtrROM from xtrSENSE. So far its working really good with ADW launcher. I got used to the Jonas MOD for the keyboard so I loaded that back in as well as the HTC game Teeter.

Purely aesthetic question about the icons in settings - how come they are the default android icons instead of the nicer ones from HTCs and your xtrSENSE ROM? Is that because of what was removed?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Anyone experiencing a hanging VM notification? The pull down menu won't let me clear anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just wanted to say thanks in advance for turning me on to the game Teeter (hadn't heard of it before). I've since found it. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Nope... I personally like the vanilla look better and xtrROM is more of a Vanilla feel :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I had a problem with email notifcation not clearing from the pull down menu. It was fixed after I rebooted, but by then I already decided to switch back to 4.2.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
Ah ok, is there any way to extract it from the Stock or xtrSENSE and flash it into this one?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
No problem. Reminds me of those old wooden games. Was always fun.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Before the server hiccuped, I had edited my post for stupidity because I always assumed Teeter was a Twitter app. :D LOL!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
Zach,

I will alpha test if needed. Just pm me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Hey Zach I have a small request... well I would like to ask if you could do an odex version to save a few more MBs. I don't know about everyone else but I don't think there aren't many of us themeing your ROM. I also see some new things going in your sense forum....I'm excited for the next release of xtrRom. In addition, after testing the CIF V5 kernel I think the zanfur is better.

PS if you need more testers you can count on me, if you'd like
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
So quick question. I was on a previous release, and using Apps2SD. I went ahead and moved to 4.2.1 with cache2cache. i did a titanium backup before hand to save my settings and such. Now that i wiped and flashed, and restored with titanium, i am sitting as 64/130 used in "cache" and 104/159 used in "data" (as reported by gscript).

i thought my data portion would be smaller, and the cache portion more utilized. I figure one of 2 things happened:

1) i just have a ton of apps, and so the cache2cache helped, but apps portion still in the "data" folder

2) titanium backup put the files in the wrong folder

i do have like 52 apps installed, including some big ones like swype, so maybe just #1 above... thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Looks like cache2cache is working well for you because:

1) If cache2cache did not work your dalvik-cache store would only be 1 or 2% of the 130...

2) if you did not have cache2cache on you would not have been able to install 52 apps with out apps2sd!

Based on your current number you can probable get another 25 apps on there :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
kinda what i figured, thanks man, awesome work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
+1! I was just too embaressed to admit it when I figured it out!:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
New xtrROM4.6 soon to beta

All a new version of xtrROM will be up in the next few days...

* Fixed Issues with Wired Tether on 4.2 and 4.5 that some where having

* changed the /system/sd as the mount point for SD Card ext so NAND * * * * backup/restors work without issues or tweaking

* offer with zanfur kernel with links to the BFS and CFS options

* built in performance/battery management simillar to collins_ph

* updated lockscreen theme

* added additional notifications and ringtones (the space in /system/ is not used so why not?)

Also looking at making it odex...

Anyother other ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
That sounds good. Heard of Collins but haven't yet tried it.

I vote also for a way to flash in the HTC icons for the settings. I just think it looks nicer. Ok that's a wish...

What about including RealCalc as a replacement for the stock calculator?I know there's HandyCalc but this one has the large buttons like the stock Calc but more functionality.

Spare Parts hasn't been updated in a while so maybe having that in the system/app partition in the next build would be nice. It's still very useful.

Some users seem to dig Teeter ;-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
I actually thought the same when I first got the Eris, until I started playing with the phone and thought "Cool, something besides Solitaire!" Although that was the first game I installed LOL
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
zach, could you please make it so that only the red physical hang-up buttons will bring the phone out of sleep? Right now, the green answer button also brings up the screen. I'm on 4.2. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
can you optiPNG it

[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Did you flash any of the modules before your first boot of the ROM? If so that could be the cause of the issue... My bad on poor directions :o.

Additionally since it has been requested by so many I will look to build a .zip flash customized to the xtrROM that will setup the Nexus lockscreen (it does not work with the integrated apps and when you get an incoming call there is still a influence of the HTC lockscreen however it sure does look cool!)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tonyb81:
I'm really digging this ROM so far, one question though. I downloaded the pack of apps, that has wired tethering. however i can't seem to get it to work, i tap on the icon to start tethering, but it doesn't connect.

I was using autokiller set to strict and the over clock widget @ 710. The phone was running really fast but if I charged my phone to 100% and just had it in my pocket would drop to 85% in about 40 mins. I removed over clock and went back advanced task killer and the phone still runs really fast and smooth and I am getting much much much better battery life.

This is the best rom I have used so far - it would be really hard to imagine using a different one.

As I noted in my PM to you - my gmail sync contacts runs forever and seems to keep failing and trying to update. I disabled that sync and its been fine but before I disabled that it was really killing my battery and making my phone run real hot.

Keep up the great work.

[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
make sure to flash base xtrROM and reboot and complete the short setup BEFORE flashing the add on modules. ;)

I have updated instructions to this effect.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmmm... I have not heard of this issue elsewhere and am not able to reproduce so not sure where to start to try and fix... Since I was not clear in my in initial instructions did you flash and boot the base xtrROM and complete the short setup BEFORE flashing the add on-modules?

My understanding of what is happening when you flash a module before an inital boot is that it more than likely causes inconsistencies within the internal settings of the systems. Basically the first boot builds the file structure and settings on the phone based on how the ROM was published and if there are apps or folders not lining up with what is expected odd things can happen... The Android system runs so modularly that it recovers well in most cases so the modules may work but the inconsistencies may also corrupt certain aspects and produce issues.

Hope this helps! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
This is the lockscreen that is built into the ROM by default so it is what your are getting when you first flash ;)
