Perhaps I am thick, but I don't seem to be getting something. I am coming from 3.0.1. I flashed 3.0.3 (the fixed one) over 3.0.1, then flashed the stock apps, but I am stuck on the skateboarders on the reboot. I finally did a battery pull. Does it take a long time to start after the 3.0.3 flash, or did I miss something?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ttran97:
It took a LONG time the first time it booted...and it stays on the 3 skaters. I almost did a battery pull myself...but I think it took almost ten minutes before it moved to the next boot screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes first boot on no wipe updates will take a LONG time. The more apps you have the longer it will take... the first boot scrip is zipaligning and checking permissions to help make sure the update will run smooth.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fiftyonefifty:
Has anyone else had a problem with the screen brightness turning itself to 100%?

I keep turning down the brightness every time i realize that the brightness has gone back up to 100%. I can't figure out how to replicate it though. I have reset the brightness a few times. I have reset the phone a few time and it has not reset the brightness. But seems like every week it goes back up to 100%.

Could a program I'm running be doing it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
you turned off auto brightness in the display settings right???
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
is this the reason why after I rebooted i got stuck on the skateboarders screen??? i did all the wipes and now it started me fresh.... can I just reflash A2SD toggle again to activate it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes make sure you flashed the rom file with "fixed"
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
sorry for all the q's but.... if i flash the fixed ROM can i do a nand restore from the original xtrROM3.0.3 or will that not work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Is there something I can do to "nudge" FB for HTC to start syncing contacts. When I click on View in People, it shows 0 FB contacts. I understand actual linking can take some time, but usually I'll see the number of contacts right away.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
Ok, thanks to you both (especially you, zach.) It was late, past bedtime, and I had low patience. Things were fine when I reflashed this morning.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Not that I am aware of... :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You could BUT the origial xtrROM3.0.3.zip is missing some key lib files (:o my bad) so I would not recommend using it... If you try Apps2sd it WILL hang on reboot.

So you should delete that nand backup and make a new one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
One thing I have found that seems to help with this, as I've had the problem with numerous ROMS, is to delete the HTC entry in your facebook account settings from the actual facebook page. I guess it just gets all confused sometimes. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
This sounds very promising can you tell me where specifically you are doing this? i.e. log into your facebook account on your computer – go to...

I cannot seem to find where to delete...
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Click Account...Application Settings.... Should be listed as HTC Sense under Authorized. I have to delete it everytime I flash a ROM otherwise I get stupid sync issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Thanks!! This did it. Will that app show back up on my facebook? Or what do I need to do?
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
Should show right back up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Densefire:
"Includes modules and toggle .zip files in base install"

So if im downloading xtrROM3.0.3-fixed.zip i wont need to download any of the module zips like LWP and Social Sync?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
thats correct. they will be automagically install to your SD card when you flash the base ROM. You can then access them at anytime for future flashing at your determination
[Droid Eris Android Development] Densefire:
Thanks! Awesome rom BTW feels very quick and responsive!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zilliano:
Love the ROM, great work and all that, but....

Is there any way I can get multitouch maps on it? I kinda miss it, coming from Aloysius.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dwcasey:
Curious why multitouch maps would not be there? Isn't that an "app" thing and not a kernel thing necessarily?

Ditto on the ROM. Was using EE and I like this for it's simplicity. Would like to see a diff lock screen, however, is that something I can flash?

Will try xtrSense next. I sorta miss some of the HTC widgets, but not much :)

Good work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zilliano:
If you want the Nexus One lockscreen, try this.

[Droid Eris Android Development] buff12db:
Just upgraded from 2.1.1 to 3.0.3, and the new ROM is GREAT!! I don't know how this isn't hands down everyones favorite.

First time running A2SD here, and everything works flawlessly, even with a class 2 card (upgrading to class 4 soon).

One question: if I turn off A2SD, will it just move the apps directory back into internal storage? If so, what happens if internal storage is too limited to take on the apps directory?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dustintendo:
this rom is absolutely amazing. quick question though. is there any good reason NOT to enable JIT?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks for the feedback!

If you toggle Apps2sd off it will just move the apps and dalvik-cache back to the internal memory when you boot back up.

I am not sure what will happen if you toggle off and you have over the internal memory amount... Based on the code it "should" error out but I am not sure the state it will leave the apps on the sd card as I have not tested...

Will have to look into adding specific logic for the next version to keep it from happening...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
JIT works well on this ROM however it does cause odd actions with certin market apps such as Pandora Radio. So there is really not much of a down side... ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dustintendo:
also just noticed that i am having an issues where auto brightness turns off and brightness cranks to 100% as another user stated
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
i don't know if this is a problem only when plugged into usb on pc but twice in the last 10 mins my phone has rebooted itself...

I don't know whats going on... i'll have to see if it happens unplugged or not as well...

is this the bootloop thing you mentioned in OP? do i need to do all the wipes?
[Droid Eris Android Development] atpjoe:
Tried KaosFroyo out...good stuff. However I'm back on this and upgraded to 3.03 last night w/ JIT and LWP. As usual no bugs or anything. I actually am able to crank SetCPU a little higher with this version. Previously I had it at 710, now I'm at 748 stable...could try it higher but it's fast enough where it's at lol.

Still my favorite rom. Just wish it had vanillas SMS and Contacts.

+10 points on the not as blah boot animation!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
oops, wrong thread
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
All wipes will give you a clean slate. Also make sure set cpu is not to high.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Erris Bueller:
Great rom as usual - I am getting FC when editing a contact - thats the only thing I have noticed.

Will you be getting your froyo on anytime soon........?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
I assume I'm missing something simple, so here's my root noob question.

I'm on ver 3.01, I've got apps2sd working (I can see the extra available internal storage under menu > settings > sdcard and phone storage). Is there anything I have to do to make new apps save to the SD card. And how can I move existing apps there? I've seen reference to apps2sd toggle, but I'm not finding anything like that. Is it a 'real' toggle or is that just flashing the zip?

thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
nope nothing you have to do! once you've toggled it (flashed the zip) all your apps will be on SD!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
Thanks Syd
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
no problem! i was confused on that at first too... then i just figured since i had soo much internal memory left after installing all my apps that it must've worked!
[Droid Eris Android Development] NebraskaX24:
fantastic rom. This may finally be the one to replace EE for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dwcasey:
I tried several other ROMs and landed on xtrROM and I'm digging it. Got mine cranked to 748 as well, no issues. Some days I think I would want another screen or two, but then I like the simplicity of only three screens. I ended up utilizing folders more now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dwcasey:
I liked this "feature". Really digging xtrROM, thanks for the help.

I would like to see a non-HTC lock screen in the future.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
+1 for the lock screen
[Droid Eris Android Development] MacShannon:
Are there any MM themes compatible with this rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
This a nice rom but in comparison to others uses a lot of resources. Good work on it, first one I flashes for myself
[Droid Eris Android Development] dwcasey:
I was going to load a vanilla lockscreen.zip file using MM and MM FC's on xtrROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nesgodawg:
Use root explorer and go to System/App and then delete HTClockscreen.apk and you'll have a different lock screen after reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hum... interesting. this ROM is fully deodexed and I believe others have installed MM themes (see past posts).

Have added to the list of items to look into as I would like for this functionality to work. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Renocat:
Metamorph doesn't fc for me but the morph doesn't actually apply. I tried to apply Pink ice (the pink version of blue ice that someone successfully installed a few posts back) and it runs through applying the morph but when it asks to reboot and i say yes it doesn't actually reboot,. Just keeps asking if I want to. I tried rebooting myself and a battery pull and the morph still doesn't apply
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
i dont think it has anything to do with this ROM cuz i've seen other ROMs with the same issues... i am having the problem though where any thing you push it FCs...
[Droid Eris Android Development] erishasnobattery:
MetaMorph seems a little unstable from one release to the next. I get force closes out of it on every ROM with the latest version. I've applied multiple themes to xtrROM using it with no problems.

Keep in mind, sometimes the themers don't think things through and will put framework-res stuff on the first line of the xml. This will force the phone to reboot before anything else is applied. You then have to go back and manually apply anything after that. I discovered that the first time I tried to create a theme file. Oops. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Zach, are we going to see a new non-wipe version of this ROM with the New OTA embedded?

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes not sure when though... Is there a report yet on any fixes in the system files yet? after a quick look I have seen reported radio improvements but nothing on the system side...

Additionally I do not plan to include any radio update in my ROMs as you can flash these independently.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
That's pretty good, I'll have to check this out. I'm in the process of spending my morning trying out different roms, I'll add yours to the list.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Re: [ROM][6/3/2010] xtrROM2.0 [stable,lwp, oc]

[Droid Eris Android Development] wildcatbn:
Not so stable for me

Not sure what the deal is but most of the widgets I have tried don't work. Power settings do not change green when turned on or the do not turn off when selected. GPS is a little weird is keeps shutting of on me. When I put the calendar widget it showed no upcoming events but my calendar has all kinds of stuff in it for the next week. Maybe it is just my phone but check it out and see if you can recreate it.

Re: [ROM][6/3/2010] xtrROM2.0 [stable,lwp, oc]

If you did not already know, an important FYI when using the vanilla lockscreen is that a number of the core HTC apps do not work well with it... most notable is the alarm which if it goes off while your phone is asleep you will have to pull your battery to turn off as it is integrated with the HTC lockscreen :-( if you like that lockscreen then you may want to try better alarm clock on the market.

I look forward to hearing your experience.

Re: [ROM][6/3/2010] xtrROM2.0 [stable,lwp, oc]

Did you reboot after first setup? One of the side effects of removing the setup wizard requires a full restart before widgets will work.

Let me know and thanks!

I had the same problem. Un-check ask me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] anderson620:
Loaded this up this morning. Reinstalled everything I use normally and this ROM is great! I have gotten in the habit of OC' ing, but I actually set my profiles to 528 and lower and have noticed very little lag, even with LWP. Plays really well with l launcher pro and beautiful widgets, two personal favorites. Fantastic every day ROM. Thanks for the hard work, I have a feeling a lite of people will be using this one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] esmith972:
Thank you, fixed the issue.

Now, why the deuce is Messaging freezing up? :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Two questions:

1. Does this have the phone icon present on all screens or will I need something like launcher or helix

2. If I put stock apps back on does that interfere with lwp or anything else?

I for one and I think more and more people are liking LauncherPro Beta. It's very smooth and responsive and you have four apps in the bottom tray (phone, people, message, and browser).
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
I kind of stripped the Official Eris rom like you did lol (I needed a stable phone for everyday) and what I did was use the old Alarm Clock apk from Android 2.0? I believe?. Anyways thats how I got away with using the Nexus Lock Screen and having a working alarm

AlarmClock.Apk

This rom is really working well for me. I have always liked Contacts.apk, the android dialer/contacts app. I have tried every method I can find here but cannot get it to install into these odexed roms. Any suggestions?

LauncherPro Beta

I can't find LauncherPro Beta in the market... Any ideas on how to get it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] paintguy:
Hmmm, it's on my market. The web page is www.launcherpro.com, the developer is fedecarnales@gmail.com.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
It's not in my market anymore either. I tried jcases Market Fix. So hopefully after midnight it'll be there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] firestrife23:
fix for silent call bug, and new radio update as far as I know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Well now THAT would be worth an update...
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
for those having issues with MM just search for the old version (there is one on the Hero forums) and install that first... then install the new version from the market... for some reason this fixes things... i have seen it work for a few others...

if you need a good busybox installation... install Titanium Backup

already flashed the new radio... haven't really made any calls or anything so I can't say it made a difference... i never had any issues with calls and signal anyways though....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zilliano:
Hmmmm. Is there any reason why I wouldn't be getting voicemail notifications? :/

Edit: Wrong kind of mail, tee hee.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vash8806:
anyone confirm if the new flash works on here?
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
Haven't bothered to try it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tempus Andros:
Just curious, what is the best way to get the new radio version floating around for the Eris while using xtrROM? Can I update just the radio or to I need to reflash the whole thing? I'm on an amonra recovery image, if that matters. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] DigitalMD:
The new radio .zip is posted here somewhere , just do a search for eris radio. You can flash the radio only, no need to reflash the ROM
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
You should only flash a newer radio if you have problems with your existing radio.

It is very risky and could potentially brick your phone. Always check the md5 hash of the radio.zip once its on your sd card to make sure its the same as in the thread you found the radio in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
I have a quick question. Is there anyway to flash a new lockscreen? I tried to rename the HTCLockScreen.apk to HTCLockScreen.apk.bak and it works but when I set an alarm and it goes off, I have no way to get it to stop other than a battery pull.... any ideas
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
have you tried the nexus one lockscreen in the OP
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
It is a known glitch if you disable the HTCLockScreen.apk in any way the alarm will not work because they are linked together somehow... the only remedy is to download a separate alarm clock app...
[Droid Eris Android Development] ADroidEris:
For some reason whenever I go into Settings > Accounts / Sync I get a force close message (process com.htc.settings.accountsync) I've looked for a solution but haven't been able to find one... anyone know what the problem is?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Sounds like you updated rom but still need to flash the social sync zip
[Droid Eris Android Development] ADroidEris:
That seemed to do the trick. Thanks :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
If you use the nexus lockscreen zip in the op under archive links for version 2 it will remove the htc clock and add an alternative that work well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
All around great rom. I have had some issues. Usually opening the browser it just closes but will open the second time. I was also turning on my alarm last night and the phone just rebooted. This is 3rd time it has just rebooted on me. Generally happens at random which makes things hard to fix I know.

MM force closes for me as well but thats their issue not yours.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
Haxid, are you overclocking and running JIT? I had issues with reboots and weird lag while OC'ing with and without JIT enabled. After a full wipe and reflash, with no OC'ing and JIT enabled xtrROM is faster and more stable then ever. It is instantly responsive and snappy. The only downside is the Linpack scores are in the range of 3.75-4.0 instead of the 5.0's, but they are only numbers and in my opinion a much more stable system far outweighs high linpack numbers. This was my solution and it may or may not work for you. I have found that OC'ing gives minimal real world gains and only higher numbers at the cost of usability and stability.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Just want to report that the other day my eris with xtrom started occasionally rebooting. Usually when plugged into USB or accessing the alarm clock. It will freeze for a moment then reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
try lowering your overclock settings...
[Droid Eris Android Development] metasage:
I had the same issue. I flashed jit-off and it seems to be fine now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
I will give that a whirl however I dont think I had JIT on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dm8a55:
I can second this. No OC and JIT enabled is very smooth...noticeably. Overclocking on the Eris actually causes a slow and laggy "feel" at times due to the instability. JIT has been an enhancement for me, but I don't use too many apps.

I can honestly say I have never had a reboot or FC on this ROM with the above-mentioned setup.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
No matter what I do, I cannot get apps2sd to work. I followed the instructions to a T. I started off fresh with the newest rom version, partitioned my SD card through recovery, and then flashed the a2sd toggle on.

EDIT: NVM, I got it working :) missed the last ext2 to ext3 step. /facepalm

EDIT 2: Ok, even with that, its still not working. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

When i get to the final step, convert ext2 to ext3, it says ERROR, RUN fs ext3 VIA ADB. I do that, and nothing happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
do i flash the enable aps2sdON.zip before or after partitioning my card?
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
Flash it after the partition is created.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
I flashed everything all at once and got it working. bahhhhhhh that was frustrating.

Has anyone been having problems with Java not working on websites since the latest xtr release? Ever since I flashed to 3.0.3 it doesn't function, although it did work with 3.0.1.
