Looking forward to the new version soon as you get the hosting issues resolved.

I'd been addicted to xtrSENSE for quite some time and last week decided to give this one a try (v4.7) and totally loving it as well now. Miss some of the Sense widgets, but totally worth it to have a much less bloated system.

Question on the upcoming new version...

Will 5.0 be a no-wipe update from 4.7 or a full wipe update?
[Droid Eris Android Development] daholein1:

Hapy New Year. Been using this rom ever since you released it and love it. I'm eyesight chalenged...( over 50 ) and would love to see a font size adjustment included in the rom. Any chance of this happening?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

DA
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Interesting concept and am willing to try provide a flashable update; does anybody have any pointers that they can direct me to on where to start looking on how to do this or perhaps another ROM that already has this feature...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
If version 5.0 stays fully o d e x then it would be recommended as a full wipe update
[Droid Eris Android Development] computerfreek:
Can anyone tell me if #778 works with this ROM .. Befor I install it ..

Thank you computerfreek

Missing GScript files :(

OK, I HAVE searched and can not find the answer. I have no GScript files available to load. How can I get them?
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
So, are you saying that when you start Gscript, press the "Menu" key, press "Add Script", then, from the Add Script screen, when you press "Load file" there are no scripts listed for you to load?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks doogald.

If you try this and still cannot find script files then you can get them from the .zip file under /sdcard/gscript/. Basically pull this folder from the .zip using the program of your choice (I use 7zip) and then mount your sdcard and make sure the files are in place on your sd card under a /gscript/ folder.

Hope this helps :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
This app does that. It works well but has to be rerun after a reboot because it does not stick.

[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
Another thought is what about incorporating the OpenGLES 1.1 that's been floating around in the Hero forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899801 . I haven't had the chance to test it out on the xtrROM i have loaded but reports seem to indicate there is a bit of a performance boost on games like Angry Birds.

Amazing how far we can push these phones!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
I was cleaning my cache tonight and noticed that "flashlight plug-in" is up over 12mb. What does this actually do? Can I clear the data without repercussion?

Any word on 5.0? Not that it's needed....:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Sorry everyone work has been a real bear of late and I have not got the few last few items done plus installed the updated connection for my hosting provider.... hopefully soon but we'll see...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cmotion:
Was also wondering about this myself...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
The only repercussion that I could think of would beat the next time you went to a page that had flash images they would take longer to run as the must download again as that is most likely what is in the flash cache
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
So I cannot find a download for OpenGLES 1.1 at the above link... Am I missing something? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Hey Zach dburg84 has it....like post 25ish
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Found it thanks!

This is the last "tweak" to try before xtrROM5.0 is ready for beta... :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM5.0 is out in beta

All,

xtrROM5.0 is out in beta with many new tweaks:

- removed LauncherPro (just get it form the market)

- /system/framework and /system/apps to free up even more internal memory

- Added a backup script that will backup your user settings values and restore them during install if you are coming from a previous version of xtrROM; Basically this saves the vaues you have set using Gscripts so that you do not have to reset them...

- new boot animation (old one took up to much space which I needed for system app .odex files)

- added the new OpenGLES 1.1 library

- replaced the DroidX keyboard with the standard vanilla ASOP as it has a better built in user dictionary

- a few theme improvements

- new market

- removed wireless tether and quick boot as you can get from the market

- maybe a few other things I forgot...

Post any issues and ENJOY! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] texanaustinite:
Thank you for a great ROM!

DL'd and running beautifully at 787MHz. (FC's and freezes @ 806MHz)

Linpack benchmark: averaging just under 5 MFLOPS!!!

Was only averaging under 3 MFLOPS @ 806MHz with EEv3.

1st post here. So I will post screenshots when allowed...
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sounds good. I appreciate the consideration, zach.xtr!
[Droid Eris Android Development] texanaustinite:
Any chance of adding Galactic Core live wallpaper? DL'd it from the market. It works, but reverts back to previous wallpaper after phone sleeps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kreegaa:
finally flashed this. everything works beautifully! just one prob tho'. cannot add any cities in the world clock. anybody else got this issue or is it just me?
[Droid Eris Android Development] firestrife23:
Love this ROM! I used kitchen to dismantle your ROM to remix couples of stuffs to my own taste! Thanks for excellent base ROM for my own use.
[Droid Eris Android Development] arockj:
My Stats

thanks for this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
My battery life has been all over the place the last two days with this rom. I'm typically in a low reception area during work day and the battery levels function no differently. As soon as I leave though and use any apps the battery just starts dropping. After using Listen yesterday for 30 minutes I went from half-battery to a single yellow bar.

I checked the radio band and set it to CDMA Auto PRL. Anyone have other suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Cool! glad to helpful and add back to the forum community :)

If you are using the xtrROM 2.1.1 as a base I have since found out that I may have been TOO agresive in removing some of the system app files that, although are not used in my build, are required for other general uses :rolleyes: The attached .zip has two required files that you will need to put in the /system/app dir for some Vanilla style keyboards to work.

Have fun!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Erris Bueller:
This sure isnt a deal breaker by any means but pandora FC's alot with the vboost. Like I said I dont really care but figured I would let you know in case that knowledge imapacts other things behind the scenes. Also the in call green status icon wouldnt go away last night even when I was off the phone.

Seems like random jit related issues but again just letting you know. My battery has never worked so well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Is this specific to the Listen app? I do not use it but have downloaded to start testing. I do use internet raido a bit and it does reduce my batter a bit but not as you discribed :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I use listen on a daily basis and just noticed over the last two days. I'm going to keep trying it out and see what happens.

I really enjoy the ROM and hope it's just a fluke thing. I'll let you know after another few days of trying it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Smoothcrm7:
Rom looks really good i am interested in trying it, quick question first

is MMS fixed also are there any lockscreens without a clock on them?

Thanks looks really good!
[Droid Eris Android Development] firestrife23:
Thanks again, I like your ROM because it's closest thing to Tainted Vanilla, but even much better ;-) keep up great work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
MMS works as it is the stock HTC version. currently there are only lockscreens with clocks however I believe there is a thread out there that discribes how to remove the clock from the clear screen I used...

Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I ran the batch for the non-transparent lockscreen and it works fine. I had to re-enter my google account info, though. But the settings remained.

I hate gallery always asking to access my picasa even though I denied it permission and unchecked it in Accounts & Sync. Can I erase it with Root Explorer...and how do i get the stock or HTC photos back?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
:confused: sounds good where did you get the batch? If helpful to others I can add it to the first post as I know a number of folks have asked for the non-transparent...

Should still be on the phone as none of the zip files I provide remove it... Let me know if you need the file and I can pm it to you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
Thanks for the quick response! This is the thread for the non-transparent vanilla lockscreen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694906

You can pick any picture as your background as long as it's 320 x 480. And you have to use the clock that's included in that pack for your alarm...or even the betterandroid alarm clock that you put in this ROM.

I'll look for the stock photo app in a bit. Right now I'm in a horrible loop cuz I tried to push the speed too high. whoops.

Edit: Ok, whew...cleared up the stuck phone. Had to delete /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking/shared_prefs/setcpu.xml

Ok, I don't see the stock Photo app anywhere. Which zip file are you referring to? I flashed the stock Google apps and I think that's what stuck me with gallery. Photo isn't in my app drawer either.

Edit 2: Nevermind, Photos showed up after a reboot. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] raphifix:
Hey Zach! I want to thank you for your work on this rom. It is by far the fastest one I have used (and I have flashed many over the course of my rooted existence) but as for battery life, we'll see. ;)

On a side note, MetaMorph does not seem to want to work for me. Whenever it asks for my permission to reboot, and click "yes" and it proceeds to come back up immediately afterword with the same question. Obviously, this is not a deal-breaker, but it would be nice. :)

Also, the News/Weather widget isn't connecting, but I believe that is at least an Eris-wide issue.

EDIT: The News/Weather widget is now working for me. Never mind...
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
If someone has uninstalled this widget and now wants it back, how would they do that? Thanks!!

Cary
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
I'm loving this ROM so far. The speed is great and everything has been very stable. Great job, zach!
[Droid Eris Android Development] computerfreek:
I just did an upgrade on my phone no wipe and everthing is still working great .. I may still do a clean wipe latter.

Did you remove quick reboot program as it is missing ?

Thanks

Thank you for the upgrade it looks great !! Keep up the great work ...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes Quick Boot was removed as it is available from the market...
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisx:
I flashed this after the wipes (twice), and well I still have the DX keyboard. other than that its looking pretty nice
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Does this rom still have the circle battery? If so, is there a way to change this? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
It looks the same but it is different : )

U should be able to confirm in that the highlight when u press a key is now gray over green
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes. If u pm me I'll see if I can make a simple zip to change it...
[Droid Eris Android Development] WhistlingDog:
zach,

Don't know how closely xtrROM and xtrSENSE are related, but does a 5.0 beta here mean that a 5.0 beta of xtrSENSE is near? Just wondering...
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
This is my first try ever using this rom and it seems really quick. The only thing is in the market some of the apps I can not find. I can't seem to find gmail, voice search, etc. Also, I wouldnt mind having the .zip file to replace the regular battery icon. Is there a zip to change the lockscreen to be normal with the wallpaper or the stock lock screen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
No 2.1 ROM can get to the google apps you have mentioned only 2.2 ROMs...

If you want a wallpaper on the lockscreen check out the "Tips" section in the OP on how ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
Oh ok..thanks. I didn't know that they made their google apps just for 2.2. That doesnt make much sense to me since it's just a email, but what can you do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisx:
ohhhhh lol my bad x) thx!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Regulary Battery for xtrROM5.0

Due to a number of request I have built a simple flashable zip that will bing back the "standard" battery icon in the notification bar (i.e. remove the circle battery).

This has yet to be fully tested so NAND backup before you try and please let me konw the outcome.

Enjoy :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Thanks! I'll give it a try later today and let you know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Hey Zach....your build.prop does not have the following line in it

debug.sf.hw=1

that is for the opengles1.1...later in the thread someone does a bunch of benchmarks and in that thread by adding that line it gave him like a half percent boost lol....just thought I'd share...I really don't think the opengles mod does much but it may help make some games play more smoothly
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
I flashed the zip and it worked great! Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks! I kind of shoved it in last minute and did not research much...

I'll add for final release
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Zach,

For some reason the xtrStockKeys.zip file won't change my dialer and keyboard back to stock. (First thread: Stock keyboard and dialer: http://zach.xtr.i6ix.com/xtrStockKeys.zip)

I've flashed it in recovery, rebooted, nothing. Flashed it in recovery again, rebooted, nothing.

Any suggestions? BTW, the speed of this ROM is incredible...unmatched!

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Ah yes... I will need to make a new version of that flash as it will not remove the new keboard and will have issues with the odex files now in the ROM...

You can probably long press the ?123 and when it ask what version of the keyboard select the IME version "I think"...

Good find and will try and look into a fix later tonight :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Thanks for all your help. When I long press the ?123 button my only options are "Android Keyboard" and "Swype" (installed for now). I'll look forward to the fix!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I have updated the OP with an updated xtrStockKeys.zip for those that want the stock keyboard and phone dialer.

I have also added a xtrStockBattery.zip for those that do not want the circle battery.

Enjoy! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
xtrStockKeys.zip works great - thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
anyone else having Google contact sync issus? Mine seems stuck in a loop and only half of my contacts are there.

I'm on 5.0 beta
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
What ROM are you coming from?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
CELB 4.1 I did a full wipe.

Not really a big deal, I just exported the vcard from gmail and then imported.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Another thing to try is the following http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6796805&postcount=102

I think this is not uncommon coming from 2.2 Froyo ROMs as they seem to sync with Google a little differently and I do not think the folks at HTC or Google built their systems with the thought that users would be jumping back and forth between versions as much as we all do... Good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
Thanks, that did it!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
Sorry didn't check the forums over the weekend. Glad you found it! Downloading the new beta now... as 1 of my coworkers says.. weeeeeeeeeeeee!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
downloading now....
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
5.0 is great Zach. I have never been w/o one of the common launchers, and I'm really enjoying it. Yay for simplicity!
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
Why don't more ROM makers use Zanfur's kernel? It seems to be the smoothest of any of the kernels out there. Has anyone tried a 2.2 ROM and using Zanfur's kernel or would it interfere with Froyo's Apps2SD?
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
bit.ly/cv8A8T

Hey Zach....check that out....I'm curious if its any different than what we already have. I haven't tested it myself yet, but ill post back if no one else will.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Capt. Napalm:
Green call button problem

With 4.6.5, when I press the green call button (when i'm not on a call) it would bring up the dialer. In 5.0, pressing the green button (when i'm not on a call or already in the dialer app) doesn't do anything. Is this by design, or is there something I need to do to get the default action back?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Humm... maybe reboot as I cannot reproduce...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Capt. Napalm:
I also get force-closes when i press the green button when looking at a contact record in "people". I've tried reboot/Dalvik wipe with no luck. I think it's just a bad flash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Been running 5.0 for over a day and have not run into this issue, or any other issue for that matter. Awesome ROM with plenty if internal memory.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
agreed, plus battery life is amazing. My phone was on for 8+ hours and had only dropped 7 percent with very little use. I just wish that there was a way to permanently eliminate the 50% TWS bug. That drives me nuts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] computerfreek:
I did an upgrade and never wiped the phone clean . And everything is working great no FC's Dialer pops right up when i hit my green call botton . It sounds like maybe you just have a bad flash in the last VER things like that happen to me too . I Wiped 2 times and wiped the catch also then reflashed the rom . After that it was great no FC's or anything . I say if your geting FC's with this ver Wipe aleast 2 times clear catch and reflash .
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Me too :)

I do not think it actually causes an issue but it IS most annoying!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tortuga:
Zach, The first rom I flashed after rooting was xtr.ROM 4.25. The speed was great compared to stock. After about a month I decided to try Froyo. Over four months I've been though various versions of Nonsensikal, CELB, and FroShedYo. All worked pretty well, and Froyo's features were nice. However, I found myself wanting the performance I got with xtr.ROM.

Today I installed version 5 after a full wipe. It's amazing. The speed is phenomenal! I've installed all of my apps and it hasn't slowed one iota. This may change after some use, but I'm very pleased. Thank you for your work on this. It will definitely be a daily driver.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Looks promising and I would appreciate any feedback you provide ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM5.0 official release

All,

No issues reported with xtrROM5.0 beta so I have moved it to final.

The only update from beta is, per HaRdC0r3, I added one additional line to the build.prop file to help improve performance of the OpenGLES 1.1 however I am not sure if this "real" and have not seen any benchmarked. That said it has no ill effects and may improve things :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdaaaniel:
is there any way i might be able to change the lockscreen back to htc stock arch or maybe a custom one?

would it be as simple as taking a file from an old version?

please and thank you :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
i flashed conap's v9 kernel after first reboot but can't download anything from market, even purchased apps. will his kernel not work on this rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
I am very happy to see that I no longer have the 50% "bug" and now have nothing I could ask for from my phone!

Thank you so much for your hard work, this is by far the best ROM I have used. Again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
Huh? Really? I still have it. I was planning on writing an app that puts your phone into airplane mode and then turns it off after booting so I don't have the 50% bug anymore.
[Droid Eris Android Development] daddyhawk:
I noticed one of the pics on the OP had a 5 icon dock. Where is the option for that? I couldn't find it. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I had the same problem with xtrSENSE 4.6.5. Actually, it wasn't just the market - many apps that I had installed on the phone would not launch.

I seem to recall that an older CFS worked sort-of fine, but I honestly had the best results on both xtr ROMs with the default Zanfur kernel. The older CFS (it may have been V5?) ran ok, but every once in a while the phone would lag terribly, almost to the point of a battery pull.
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
surprisingly i wiped and flashed this rom again, did not flash conaps kernel and i still can't download any apps from the market. anyone have any ideas? i get the "download unsuccessful" message when i try to download/install any app. thanks for the help
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
I found the culprit. It's the stock battery zip that kept killing my market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmm... not sure how that would cause it... I'll try to look into this weekend. Can you try a dalvik-cache wipe after flashing the battery zip?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I you can remind me again this weekend I'll upload the HtcLockscreen.apk that has the stock lockscreen.

The key here would be to use one that is odex (which most are NOT)...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
This is just Launcher Pro which you can get from the market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
i'll try doing that and post back. thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
That worked. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I beta tested the change log and I came up with this:

;P
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdaaaniel:
Thanks a lot zach! I'll try to find one in the meantime myself and play around with it but i feel like there's going to be some boot looping in my future. lol. at least that's what happened last time I tried messing with that particular .apk file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kpd2003:
If I partition my SD card would this effect jumping between versions? I guess what I am asking is do I need to (unpartition) my SD card in order to jump back and forth (using Celb4.2 currently) until I find my happy place?
[Droid Eris Android Development] asilentcivilian:
I believe there's a rom (team adx?) That will let you boot a 2.1 or 2.2 rom
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
This ROM should be fine if you have a partitioned SD card it not...

The ext partition is not used unless apps2sd is enabled via Gscript
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Does 5.0 use the vanilla or sense versions of these apk's?

Calendar

Calculator

browser

messaging

clock

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Still using the HTC (sense) version.

Sounds like Tenzo's ROM is still better for you if I recall properly. ..
