I also had a boot loop issue going from 4.06 to .1, had do a full wipe. Youtube app works fine for me. I did have a problem with my downloads not showing up even after several re-boots but this morning they were all there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I set my cpu settings to min 160000 max 710400 and have fairly good battery and it last me the day. If i am using the phone a lot then having the overclock does run the battery down faster (just like you run out of gas faster with the throttle wide open). That said with the lower min setting and the fact i have stripped out all bloat in the build my phone last notably longer when idle .

You can try stock cpu and see if it helps....
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
i didnt even have setcpu installed i left it how you wrote it
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I did default to oc for this release but if you run the set stock cpu gscript it will put you back stock which still work very well on this rom and will offer longer battery life
[Droid Eris Android Development] emerica243:
How do i flash the extra modules that are included in the zip? I flashed ver. 4.x then went to flash google apps/lwp, etc and the only other zip i seen there was xtrROM.3.x.lwp.zip, is that correct?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Correct. Check the op should detail all you need... additionally i have included everything app wise in the base build which is a change from 3.0.3
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
The scripts are run from a new app that Zach included. All the instructions are on the first page of the thread.
[Droid Eris Android Development] da3m0n sl@y3r:
The only way I could get to 4.0.6.1 was to do a full wipe...but it is working now...

I'm having a strange issue though...no matter what I change my display timeout to be it goes back to 15 seconds once I lock the screen...doubt it is ROM related but thought I'd see if anyone else noticed the issue or had any ideas how to fix it...

Is there a way to go to this dialer?

[Droid Eris Android Development] emerica243:
I cant get the INPUT METHOD dialog to come up to switch to swype. Any ideas?

EDIT: Seems flashing the Vanilla Lockscreen screwed the rom up
[Droid Eris Android Development] rjohnson3452:
Try going to settings, languages and keyboards, then enable swype by checking it.

My notification for usb debugging keeps getting stuck on and only a reboot clears it. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Irieone:
I am having this happen also. A reboot is the only way I have found to deal with it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
The AOSP or vanilla dialer only works reliably in AOSP base builds not HTC so unfortunately no...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
Not sure if this has been asked already or not...but noticing that you are now ocing this rom by default to 710 min....Curious as to if it really NEEDS to be oc'd? One of the main reasons I always would go back to this rom was the fact it was NOT oc'd (but ran just as smooth). Not oc'd=less strain on cpu, possibly longer life, less overheating, longer battery life. Just curious
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You are 100% correct in that it does not need oc... I was in a performance minded mood for last release and oc DOES kick performance up however if you run the set stock cpu gscript it will be changed back to full stock... so no logical reason ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
i never thought it need over clocked and you can change it back to stock in gscripts
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Its related to the wired tether app. If you cycle it on, then off again, it will *usually* clear.

That app wasn't really written for the Eris and has some issues with the USB because it creates a state that doesn't really exist on our phone. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
The 4.0.6.1 version has doubled my battery life. Thank you!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
I noticed my trackball stopped lighting up for text messages. Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this or is it a ROM thing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Shadow.Wolf:
Hello

I just installed the ROM. Very wonderful btw. I have come across an issue though. When I power cycle the phone it gets stuck on white screen with skateboarding androids. It never reaches the xtrcustom bootscreen. I have to reflash entire ROM for my phone to work again. Any suggestions?

Shadow

EDIT: I can also Wipe data, and Dalvik cache and restore previous saved ROM point from Amon Ra Recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
Thanks for answering my newb questions guys. I'm really loving this rom. My phone has never ran so smooth before. Very fast compared to white widow 4.6....that ran laggy on my phone even overclocked to 768mhz. Only thing ive noticed today (first day using xtr) is as mentioned above about the trackball not flashing. And also while charging, 99 percent going to 100 takes a verry long time. Badass rom tho man. Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
This is amazing rom.

Issues:

Htc facebook sync doesn't find any of my friends

There was something else but i forgot lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks for the kind words! Have you already verified people app>menu>view to make sure Facebook is checked?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Hmm.. no. I logged out of the account but i will try later. Thanks for the advice!

Edit: not exactly what i wanted but it worked

I meant that it wouldnt sync with my phone contacts, removing the account and re adding it worked

This is the best rom ever. I said that on zen xpress once but that was before i tried this one. Good work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] capricorn1232903:
i intalled this rom to try it out.got it flashed on just fine just one issue.i have no cell service.any way to remedy this.on the other hand xtrsense works just fine.i was able to download some apps on it so the data is working.just cant make any calls lol:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] infamousxsniper:
How do i get the scripts in the G Script app? When i click to open it it is empty. I try to add the Apps2sd file and i don't have the file. Can someone help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] infamousxsniper:
I did that. But there is no file there...
[Droid Eris Android Development] infamousxsniper:
Never mind i am an idiot. I moved all the original files to my computer so i could partition my SDcard, and forgot to move back... /:
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Then there is a Load File button on the right hand side.
[Droid Eris Android Development] buff12db:
Overall the ROM is great. My only problem is that I can't seem to get flash working.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
what browser are you using?
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
My new favorite ROM! Thanks for all your hard work! So far this is the fastest and most stable everyday ROM I have tried. (Hope I didn't just jinx myself...)

*knocks on wood*
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
A really outstanding ROM overall! I've got a couple of issues, though ... which may or may not be specific only to me.

1. The default overclocking seems to greatly diminish the battery life for me. I'm going to try the ROM without overclocking for a few days, and see how things go. As a suggestion for the next release, would it be possible to construct a couple more scripts to give us options for different levels of overclocking, without downloading a separate app?

2. When I finish a call and bring the phone away from my ear, the screen stays dark until the other party hangs up. That's a puzzler, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experienced that one.

(I'm also having camera issues -- I suspect those are due to an unfortunate Diet Pepsi episode that occurred right before my ROM upgrade, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had camera problems with this ROM ...)

All in all, though -- great stuff! This is my default ROM now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
not sure if this is an issue with the default messenger app or the keyboard but is there any way I can have an sms message sent after I hit enter or done instead of hitting done.....then hitting send? I know in kaosfroyo and alot of the other roms I've used this could be done.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I do not think the default overclocking is the cause of battery issues. The default level is pretty benign. You should scour through all the apps that maybe running in the background first. I have had very good battery performance on this ROM, from reading all threads it seems that battery performance is always all over the place and very hard to nail down. Sort of like the hunt for the Holy Grail.

I have also had no camera issues with this ROM.

Dolphin HD.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
There are definitely lots of variables when it comes to battery life, and the results are all over the place for many of the ROMs. Results can be widely different for different people. Very tough to figure out what's going on!

I based my conclusion on the fact that the overall setup I'm using in 4.0.6.1 is identical to the one I had in 3.0.3, but my battery life is now sharply less. If turning off the overclocking brings back my battery life, I'll know that the default overclocking is the culprit for my setup. If that's the case, I'll experiment with Set CPU to see what settings give me the best combination of battery life and performance. And those settings might not be the same as the ones that work for other people.

Honestly, though, this ROM is plenty snappy with overclocking turned off completely.
[Droid Eris Android Development] taterdiditoo:
i'm in the process of installing this ROM, is it a problem if I forgot to wipe the SD ext? i did a factory reset and wiped cache, but i guess i missed that i needed to do the SD ext too....
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Depends on what setup you are coming from...
[Droid Eris Android Development] taterdiditoo:
I was coming from TaintedTenzo2.1. All went well with installing this ROM, however I was having Market issues (wouldn't let me update apps or download new), so I made a nand backup, rewiped all (three times as recommended on androidforums), and re-flashed the ROM. Hoping this solves my Market issue, because in just the few hours I was messing with this ROM, I really like it...it was what I wanted to begin with!
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
I would like to make Dialer One my default dialer when I press the call hard key. I went into Applications>Manage Applications>Dialer but the button to clear default is greyed out. Is there a way to still make Dialer One the default dialer?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Atamagaokashii:
There is a .zip running around here on the forums somewhere that allows you to do this. Try searching the forums for "default dialer", I think that's how i found it.

I can't remember where I saw the .zip at but I happen to have it on my phone right now.

If you still can't find it later I'll see if I can upload it for you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
Found it. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CrayzeeCarl:
Does anyone else have problems with the keyboards not outputting any text in text fields? This seems to happen randomly to me (also happens on TaintedTenzo) maybe a couple times a week. The keyboard will come up and even the suggestive text will display, but no text will be output into the field. As I'm typing, the suggestive text changes as expected.

I have tried reselecting the field, closing the app and coming back, hiding, then displaying the keyboard again...no luck.

The only way I have found to fix this (temporarily) is to switch the input method and then switch it back. So, for example, I'll switch from the HTC_IME mod keyboard to the Droid X keyboard, then back. I guess killing the keyboard will probably also do it.

This happens on both the HTC_IME and Droid X keyboards that are built into this rom. It also happens on a custom HTC_IME keyboard that I built from the kitchen.

Also, it seems like SetCPU is being killed or is not given SU access properly because it doesn't appear to be changing the clock speeds on its own based on the profiles I have set. I have to open SetCPU again and it will say it was granted SU access, then it will change the clock speed. I do not use a task killer app, btw.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I've noticed that my SetCPU does not seem to activate on boot, even with that option checked. After booting I need to manually run SetCPU to get my default and profiles activated. Once they are, though, they stick.

Sorry, I've had no trouble with any keyboards. What is your max CPU set to in SetCPU? Is there a chance that you are trying to overclock too much?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CrayzeeCarl:
I've tried a few max CPU settings. I started with 748 and that caused some apps to not open properly so I went back to 710. I think that's pretty low by most standards.

It seems that it is being killed and has to be started again to resume. For example, I have a profile for Screen Off that sets the min to 128 and the max to 256 (somewhere around there, can't remember exactly). It will correctly switch to that when I put the phone to sleep, but sometimes it will not switch back to the main profile if I wake it unless I go back into SetCPU. Then it will display the "SetCPU was granted superuser permissions" message and the profile will change. Do you think it has to do with the autokiller setting? I think I have it set to strict. I will try a lower setting and see what happens.

Also, it seems like no matter what I do, the lag is worse when I overclock it with SetCPU. Maybe I just don't have it setup very well. Can someone who has a real smooth experience list out their profiles and their settings in the advanced tab?
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Autokiller is baked into the ROM correct? No need to download it right? Its just "ghostly" set and does it own thig with us having to mess with it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Hey doogal and carl I think the clock speed might be due to the eris's perflock on the CPU which doenst allow it to overclock or something... you can read more if you search your kernel. But my recommendation is to just delete setcpu and let zachs script run the overclock, the system will scale the speed accordingly.

And do8speed it does not have autokiller but it does do what autokiller does minus the UI and processes running list. What it has is a script that adjust the androids native task manager. I personally think its to aggressive so I adjusted it to my liking. Read the OP to figure how to adjust it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
This rom has been working perfectly for the last week and I love it...untill yesterday....random ass **** is hapening...when I go to text or input words on google search or any input box if I need to hit the delete key cause of misspelling it doesn't delete the letters, everytime I press the delete key it inputes the letter "p"...and if i hit the menu button on the phone it scrolls the page all the way to the bottom really fast. Back key doesnt work either. The only way ive seemed to fix it, is take out the battery...but eventually it starts having the same problems again. Idk why its doing this??? I guess ill re-wipe everything and re-flash the rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
First try just wiping dalvik-cache...

Also do run jit on?
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I did notice after flashing this last week that whatever settings it has for managing memory are way, way, way too strict - my phone was only able to run a single app. Any apps without a service were cached inactive as soon as they went into the background (i.e., I am trying out the new Tweetcaster beta; as soon as that app went into the background and I ran another app, it was marked inactive, so it stopped listening for updates.)

I installed autokiller and set it to moderate and things ran much better.

Also, my screen off profile in SetCPU is 122/480, and the phone runs fine that way - it answers calls well when the screen is off, and the phone wakes up without lag. Just make that profile have a high priority - higher than anything else (except high temp can be higher if you wish.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
Your saying just to wipe the dilvik-cache and then reboot? And no, i never turned JIT on. Its off by default right?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes - just wipe the dalvik-cache from recovery...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hum... the keyboard issues sounds quite odd :confused: and maybe hardware related since it happens accross ROMs :(

I have not heard of anyone else having this specific issue and about the only suggestion I can make is to wipe the dalvik-cache from Recovery (assuming you completed a "clean" install with all 3 wipes).
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
I'm not rooted yet (I'm reading this thread to learn more first, but probably going to do it soon).

But I have been having this same problem on my Eris with the non-rooted 2.1, so I don't think it's the ROM's problem. It seems to happen when I am replying to a text message using Handcent. When I back out of the app and go back in (sometimes takes 2-3 times) it seems to work again. I wondered if it's a bug with that app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CrayzeeCarl:
I'm just glad to hear that I'm not the only person with this problem. :p

Yes, I did wipe everything before installing. I will try wiping dalvik, thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
before you root can you try to replicate the rotate bug and post your findings?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragg5inbody:
Ok, thanks man....ill do that if it acts up again....I've been using the phone hard all day long so far with no problems...I don't get it lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] da3m0n sl@y3r:
Is there a way to set a limit on the number of sms messages in each thread?
[Droid Eris Android Development] txeris:
When you slide to one of the screens to the left or right, it moves in several ~5mm increments, not a smooth motion. This is my first non-Sense ROM. Is this normal?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Not normal... sometime this can happen when the ROM is first installed and there are many background activities happening or fpr the first few minutes after you reboot your phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CrayzeeCarl:
Well my lag problems are completely gone now. I installed AutoKiller and set it to "Moderate" and stopped using SetCPU. Everything is butter smooth now (it lags a bit after unlocking but that's it).

My battery is also MUCH better now. I used to barely make it through the workday, but today it has lasted 17 hours with just charging for about 20 min and is only down to 31%. That may not soundtoo impressive to some, but mine has always been pretty bad, probably due to poor signal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
hey carl get rid of autikiller and just edit the minfree script in /system/etc/userconfig i think....full direction are in the OP. I like having the system run everything instead of an app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CrayzeeCarl:
Thanks, I will try that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
what does autokiller do? i was under the impression it primary modifies settings anyhow, not like a task killer.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
autokiller adjusts the internal settings for the amount of minimum free memory the kernel looks to keep available. Basically the more strictly this is managed the more memory your phone has to operate which makes it faster.

The downside of freeing up memory to aggressively is that it limits the amount of multitasking your phone can do in that the amount of available memory for previously opened/running applications is “smaller”. With this understanding you can see how your phone runs faster with a more strict (or higher) minimum free memory setting as there are simply less process running concurrently on your phone ;)

The benefit of setting this value through boot scripts, as I have done for this ROM, is that it eliminates the need for a separate third party application (like autokiller) that (you guessed it) uses some of the precious memory to monitor and set the value...

Hope this helps :)

I'm having an issue when using MetaMorph to get some different themes. There are certain icons(3G, signal bars, and location) that will not change and the actual notification bar itself doesn't change either. I know other people with other ROMs have successfully changed those parts on their Eris. I was just wondering if there was something within this ROM that keeps certain things from morphing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] propperimprint:
First post!

this ROM has been pretty good

have had a couple problems though, couple force closes and a few restarts (will have to try to document what causes the it the next time) i remember one happening when autokiller was trying to gain su.

also my battery seems to be dying faster than usual, is anyone else having this problem? :confused:

i was using celb froyo prior to this rom and the difference is quite noticeable, and there is a decline in battery life in comparison to stock rom as well
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
ok, thanks for the reply, that's what i thought it did. So, if you baked it in the rom, if i un-install autokiller, will your settings still take effect, or will the settings from autokiller stay in there or will it reset to default? if your rom settings will re-take effect on boot, autokiller is gone!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
assuming you have not removed the /system/etc/usersettings/conf/memory_minfree_value file then the ROM settings will take effect on each boot.

Next version will have a few pre-made gscripts that will allow you to set a few different options with the ROM... Personally I run strick however most users seem to enjoy a more "balanced" setting...

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] adammsu:
thanks man, amazingly quick responses!

so i looked it up, did the simple math, and you have it set to:

6,8,16,120,140,200 (in MB)

this, assuming i read it right, is VERY strict. i think thats about as strict as autokiller will go.

Can you tell me one thing? Apps like "call log trimmer" and "call confirm" don't seem to be running all the time. do they launch based on conditions (like making a phone call) rather then running in the background at low mem usage? or is it that the internal killer has killed it, and so it has to launch at the condition

(i find all this fairly fascinating.. :) )
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
First, I'm sorry that I did not see this til now. Yesterday afternoon I summoned all my courage ;), and rooted the phone (1 click root!) then wiped and installed XTR!! What a great ROM, btw!! I'm new to rooting, so still learning, but your instructions made it so easy!

Secondly, I didn't have the "rotate bug". I only had the issue of text not showing up in the input field as I typed. Didn't happen a lot, but perhaps once a day. It hasnt happened since rooting and reinstalling Handcent. I'll keep an eye on it though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
I tried searching, but couldn't find it. Can you tell me where you found it? I'd like to make it my default as well. TIA. -J
