Having some odd Linpack issues with this ROM and OC'ing. When I first installed the rom without SetCPU installed, I would average 3.5ish on Linpack. When I installed SetCPU and set up my normal profiles (710/528 Normal, 245/480 Sleep and 245/480 Failsafe) I initially got Linpack scores around 4.7 on average.

Then, on boot I would wait for the normal syncs to finish, and I would run Linpack. The scores were consistently below 1, usually .8 or .925 ish. I had to wait about 10 minutes after boot and the scores crept up to 2.8, 3.3, 3.7, 4.3 and for the last 30 minutes it's been staying steady at 4.7.

Never seen that behavior with any of my previous roms. After 10-15 minutes it seems to stabalize, though.

I am new to this forum and have rooted my Eris already. I have flashed the xtrROM 3.0.3 and it looks and feels fantastic! I have one problem - I am unable to partition my sd card. I have tried many different times, following directions and even ended up in a boot loop. Are there cards that just refuse to partition? or is there another method I could try.

I am looking forward to using this Rom to its fullest!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
anyone else have the no signal problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] srmccoy:
Did some more testing on the low Linpack scores at times. Facebook is taking about 10-15 minutes on boot to finish it's sync, and occasionally my Google account will start to sync and hang a bit.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pedromfc:
Cannot Sync my contacts, please help.

I just flashed xtrROM3.0.3 to Eris, but now I cannot find a way to sync my contacts from google account. Any help on this? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mistaj:
Did you flash the StockApps.zip file after installing the ROM? If not, boot into recovery, and flash that file which will already be on the root of your SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pedromfc:
Yes, I did flash after installing room.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Go to settings, accounts, click on google, then you should see sync contacts. Click on it and you should be good. It may take awhile to show up though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
can someone please help me

I am trying to get all of the contacts that I have linked to their facebook accounts to sync and it won't work at all

I get this message

"Warning

The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"

How can i get all of my contacts to sync their facebook pictures?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stagnation1:
I had that issue. Try reflashing the SocialSync package again.

Email client besides HTCMail or K-9

Is it possible to get another email client besides the HTCMail on this Rom. I've tried K9 but cant seem to get it to work with OWA and don't want to buy the Touchdown program. I liked the mail client that I've seen on other vanilla ROMs and did what I needed it to do.

Not a deal breaker here but liked some of the features in the vanilla email client.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Ya, just pull the mail.apk out of another rom and install it here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jerryrp:
Thanks for the reply....

I found the apk and I know where it goes but I can't seem to figure how to get it in the system/app folder. Can you point me in the right direction for more information.

Thanks

Edit: I figured it out..............

thanks......

All -

Just wanted to post a quick update that I may keep 3.1 in beta to finish a 4.0 release (just put it out for xtrSENSE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726467). :o

On a separate note what do you think about having xtrROM be an odex ROM in the spirit of its lean minimalist design? Less theme options but a min of 20mb more internal space back and faster boots...

Thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jerryrp:
Not sure what you mean by odex ROM but i'm all for the lean design.

Thanks for all you do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Zach! Happy you're back! Yes, whatever you can do to make it lean, clean and fast!

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

Whatever you can do to make your ROM faster and better is great!! One thing though, can you bring back the camera from 3.0.3? It seems to take better pics then the one in 3.1.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
I think that you should make the ROM come with the Nexus lockscreen because it looks sooooo much better. Also get rid of the better alarm apk that comes with the lockscreen. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
First off, I keep coming back to this rom, even after trying all the new froyo rom, so props!

However, I've been on a epic quest to find any theme (or dirivitive of a theme) that will work for this rom, and I'm still empty-handed. I don't care if you make 4.0 less-themeable, but do you know of any themes that will work for 3.1?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks for the props and am glad it is useful for you!

You know I do not know what themes work/don't work... I am personally not big into themes as I like a gray/green/black of the stock Eris. If you can help point me to information on themeing and how metamorph works (which I am assuming most folks are using) I'd be happy to look into it. :)

Not sure if this is the case but it would make since that themes made for HTC Sense based phones may not work with xtrROM as I have striped so much from it (both front and backend apk files not visable to the user) and the theme packages may be expecting that they be there. And of course themes made for CyanogenMod ROM would not likely work as they are a quite different framework.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
The updated 3.1-beta should already have the same camera ;) and 4.0 will have the stock camera as default.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Zach,

3.0.3's camera was full screen and did not have a border around the edge. when i tried 3.1 the camera had a gray border all the way around and was missing some options. I'm back on 3.0.3 now and i may give 3.1 another shot. On another note, the 3d gallery is much improved and it loads very fast.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wholewheatbread:
Zach,

Thanks for this ROM! It is by far my favorite. One thing I value about xtrROM 3.03 is that it still incorporates HTC's exchange/mail format. If somehow 4.0 could keep this, that would be amazing! Keep up the good work! And lean and simplistic is definitely the way to go. Thanks again.

-Wholewheatbread
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Actually, most sense themes do work with with it. However, you have to watch what apps they push to. Most anything that hits the actual framework, ie com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk, works fine. Sometimes you may need to redirect something in the .xml file though. Android_bluz worked fine for me as well as a few others.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Actually, I like the plain rom theme, I just want to change the status bar and icons.

[Droid Eris Android Development] thetingster:
Zach,

Love the ROM (3.0.3) ... my favorite for speed and stability. Things just work the way they should. (I've tried nearly all the others) Anything to keep things lean and stable.. I am all for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
Still really impressed with 3.03, and I agree with everyone else ... lean and fast is the way to go!

My only requests for 4.0: please keep the 3.03 dialer and camera, and at least the option of using the stock HTC lockscreen with user-selectable wallpaper. I can't stand transparent lockscreens. :)

Again, many thanks for all your work on these great ROMs!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
just flashed this tonight and really digging it. been using xtr sense for the past couple of days. was using launcher pro and thought why use a sense rom if i'm not going to take full advantage of it. i think i prefer the vanilla flavor anyways.

this rom is fast, so far stable. I have apps2sd on, jit on and no overclocking. It's fast enough for me and works. great work. i've just about tried them all, i think i've found my mainstay.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
for those using 3.0.3....have you tried darktremor's apps2sd? Or anyone in general?....I've had success with xtrsense and Zach's apps2sd but I was just curious.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Don't do it! i tried it and i ended up having to completely wipe everything and reflash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM4.x beta

xtrROM4.x is out in BETA; if you would like to test the download is at the end of the first post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
I suppose I'll be one of the first guinne pigs....going from 3.0.3 with previous rom experience of elb2.8 ww 2.6 kaosfroyo v24-27 and celb1.9

edit: Installed rom just fine..flashed the the 'flash zip' and loaded a few flash videos just fine. All in all seems pretty good so far. Will test it more. Is apps2sd on this rom? Wasn't sure if it was enabled by default or not...assuming it is. Also is this version still NOT oc'd?

p.s. lock screen is kinda funky. See through but still yet sense, not sure if I like that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
Well been messing around with it some more used the gscripts for jit and apps seems to run snappy. Only thing i noticed is after hanging up from a call it DOES go right back to the dialer but the home button is slow and or non responsive for quite a few seconds
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Final beta posted

All,

What I anticipate to be the official release of xtrROM4.0.4 has been posted as the final beta.

Enjoy :D

If coming from xtrROM4.0.x this "should" be a no wipe update for you but it is always cleanest to start with full wipe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
zach quick question ...... or thought...

love the gscript app .... my question is since after applying any of the scripts you need to reboot.... is there anyway to make a script for system reboot ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yeh that is what i first thought i could do and spent a bit of time on it.... BUT it is currently not possible from my research and is a posted issue in CM's issue tracker.

The simple shell command is "reboot"

I have been learning java to make an app to perform these functions and have been putting time there, would LOVE to add to the scripts if you find a hack...
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
thats coool....was just curious.... way beyond my abilities.... I just thought I was be smart ...LOL

great work
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Zach,

I may have missed something, but my facebook contacts will not sync with my phone. Any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I am also seeing this issue right now and have changed nothing on the ROM that would effect this (that I am aware of :p)...

I am wondering if facebook is having issues again? I will try a quick flash of another HTC rom to see if I can reproduce...
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
The pictures seem to sync up for the contacts that are in my phone just not the contacts on facebook...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Well TaintedTenzo2.1 just synced for me so I will check it out and see what I can find... I wonder if the new superuser app could cause any issues...

Thanks for letting me know :o
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
It just seems to be the People app. Using launcher pro, i can long press the home screen and choose shortcuts, then person and all of my contacts come up. Phone contacts and Facebook. A little odd.....

This is not really a big issue in the scope of things considering that the rest of this ROM is a work of art and performs just as it should(a fully functional phone)!! You have some serious skills when it comes to making roms. I tried both Tazz froyo and Kaos froyo and neither of them can come close to this. Both of those ROMs, for me at least, were way to laggy even after everything had synced up. Maybe it's just my phone because in the past no cyanogen rom ever worked right on my phone.

anyways, thanks for the awesome work and I hope you use this as a good resume piece for any future programming jobs!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
[EDIT]

Well facebook just synced for me with xtrROM4.0.4 without issue as well so I think facebook just had a temporary slow down... :D

Try removing your HTC Sense listing in facebook if you have not already...
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
I just found a fix too! In the people app, hit menu, then view, then select the box that says facebook.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
hum... now that IS odd I can not get everything to come up as expected in people... did you go to People>menu>View and check Facebook?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
Quick question....when using the gscripts you say to reboot, I'm assuming we can either use the quickboot to reboot OR power down and then power back up to reboot?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
correct :)

Basically the phone must run throught the startup process to maksure all apps show up in the app drawer and are configured correctly in the various system areas...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
and last but certaintly not least...the apps2sd script only moves apps that are currently installed on the phone to the sd card correct? OR any NEW apps that I install will NOW go to the sd card? In other words...if my first question is correct I would then need to run the script each time I install an app if I wanted it on my sd card?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
i beileve it will also install later apps to SD
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
The script "symlinks" to the sd card ext so ALL current and future apps that are installed will be on the sd card ext.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
so far so good on beta 4. no issues whatsoever. for a stable everyday use this will do it!!!

many thanks for putting together a clean, stable rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
I flashed this ROM and have had no substantial issues. It's an excellent piece of work. The only small things I've found are I can't get Gallery to work but it's not that important to me....was just toying with it. Got a FC from SetCPU at first but I just reinstalled it and haven't had a problem since. Installing apps was no problem at all ... just used Titanium Backup backups I made from what I had on xtrROM 3.X.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pngaudioguy:
Great ROM

I discovered rooting and alternate ROM's a few weeks ago and have been gradually going through all of them trying stuff out. This is the first time I've felt anything was post-worthy, and I have to say this is my favorite ROM of them all, closely followed by TaintedTenzo. Downloading 4.0.x now.

My only slight annoyance with 3.0.3 was that when I send texts, it doesn't automatically capitalize an "i" to "I". It's nice having all the other auto-correct gone though! I love how smooth everything is, and how things that should work, just do.

Thanks for the great work. I tried to do some simple image manipulation in the framework-res.apk to get the circle battery with % going (yes, I read the various other posts that search could find), and it magnified my respect for those who are creating full ROM's! I never did get it working, btw, just managed to eliminate my battery icons completely. Good for a laugh, but not functional.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jacklad:
Installed version is xtrarom 4.0.3 - just want to make sure that's what it will say even though I in stalled .04 - can't thank you enough for the great work - phone has been rock solid running with adw -

I'm still having issues with mine. Just wondering if I missed something.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Wikkus:
Only thing I picked up on in 4.0.4 that may be an issue is when the battery is low and the low battery image/message shows up in the lock screen the background isn't dimmed. Same when a text comes in and it's shown under the unlock bar. Not really an issue for functionality at all just an observation. Maybe this comes from the theme stripping? Otherwise this is the only ROM I've been able to stick with for more than a day, absolutely love it
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Interesting... I cannot reporduce :confused: Gmail pushes to my phone without issue...

Anyone else?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
gmail works fine for me. i turned jit off and over clock to 604. if i go to 710 it freezes. on previous roms like aloysius could go to 710 no prob. but with this rom its only 604. the rom is speedy as is , so i don't feel like im missing anything. just an observation.

everything else is rock solid. the gscript is easy to use. nice to be able to toggle things like that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I had gmail problems with this beta. I've gone back to 3.0.3. I don't know why, but I had the same problem with that beta 3.1. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
1. Not sure it it fits your personal liking but I just use the phone hard key... If you like the phone icon for every screen then yes helix or launcher would work.

2. stock apps does not interfere with lwp

For some reason I couldn't find launcherpro in the market when running this rom

[Droid Eris Android Development] boostlover:
Apparently, if you read what the LauncherPro Beta dev is saying on his site, there is a problem with the market right now. I can't get it to come up in my market either, as well as many other people.

Just hang in there, they'll probably have it fixed within the next few days. Must say though, it's definitely my new favorite launcher, been tinkering with it for about 2 weeks now and I'm utterly infatuated. It's extremely responive, fast, and wonderful to use.
[Droid Eris Android Development] paintguy:
Overclock

Your rom is inherently fast. I register 2.9 to 3.1 mflops (no jit). As an experiment I uninstalled setcpu and my speed remained the same. Even some roms that have jit enabled are not perceptively faster in the hand than a well designed non-jit rom. Jit also tends to add other negative aspects such as occasional lag and/or fc. I like this rom because it works and it works well! New every day rom.

Well, after the no jit speech, I got jit to work. I used the jit_update.zip found at http://www.multiupload.com/PIFU7GNSR5 . Initially 4.7 mflops @ 710. Haven't used enough to see how stable. I guess this is one reason why this stuff is so fun. Always something new to keep your interest.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Appreciate the feedback and you have discribed my thoughts and experiances exactly :D

The only performance mod I personally use is autokiller; although new to Android I have been a DBA for over 10 years and fast access to plenty of memory has always been the best way to improve PERCEIVABLE performance gains in my opinion. This was the reason my goal for this ROM was to make it as small as posible...

Thanks for the feedback and I look forward to hear about your use of jit to see if it is stable enough for daily use. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmmm. first I have heard of messaging not working... is this still an issue for you?
[Droid Eris Android Development] paintguy:
Jit was fun for awhile but I have gotten several fc's and freeze-ups already. This was with setcpu and 710. I will try jit with just your native speed and no setcpu and see but I suspect that I will prefer your rom as you published it. By the way I removed lwp and any social apps such as twitter because I never use them. Having 114* of free memory is really nice! I'll let you know if native speed and jit works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DeezNotes:
I have to also commend you on your opening page. No gigantic fonts with a bunch of crazy colors. All the information you need laid out very nicely. Plenty of screen shots. Nicely done.

I also like the fact that you kept things VERY stock, but I'm just the type that would prefer to start from stock then make mods rather than get mods based on someone else's taste. The extra .zip files to add more components makes it even better. This should be a template for others to follow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I have not seen Contacts.apk work on any Eris based ROMs that are odexed (which at this point is all of them to my knowledge)... The most stable option I have seen if you like the Vanilla applications is the Sprint CMDA Hero ports such as Ic3ROM.

My goal with this ROM will be to keep the HTC framework and just stip the "bloat" to make it as small and fast as possible while maintining stability for everyday use.

If I find something I will let you know
[Droid Eris Android Development] paintguy:
Thanks for confirming what I thought. By the way, on my Eris at least, your OC with setcpu at 710 with no jit seems to work the best. I got jit to be stable for me but then certain things like XDA don't work. All in all, I feel that without jit and just oc'd to a reasonable value works the the best. Thanks for being part of the community. Xtr is my daily driver now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Just loaded this up and after a few minutes I can see that this ROM is going to be super fast and lite. When I can get some time to get everything configured and working I'll try and run it for 2-3 days to see my final thoughts (doing this with others as well). Pretty excited to try it out

Just wanted to say that this is my everyday Rom. Great job. Very stable.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I didn't have issues on the market but try searching for "market fix". There is a way to reload the market apk and I believe that has worked for a lot of people.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Finally took the 20 minutes to get this set up and so far so good. Planning on running this for the next day or so and also using it as my test bed for things like Helix, K-9, SmoothCalendar, etc.

Can definitely say that once I got setcpu and autokiller going this rom really began to take off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
New update in the next few days

Since this ROM has been well received I plan to make an update later this week that will include the following:

fix for the market - seems Google updated the phone build "fingerprints" that they are recognizing on the market...

fix for the mount sd card reverse toggle - will required the HTCsetup again but this will also eliminate the need to reboot before you can add widgets...

a more modularized design with "base" xtrROM then modules that you can flash for desired functionality such as social media, live wallpapers, and stock apps.

continued shrinking for more free space.

On a separate note does anyone miss the HTC Weather app or have issue with the one small bug removing it causes with the calendar agenda view with weather display checked?

Thanks for everyone’s feedback! :)
