Anyone have a working download for this?

Just put my Eris back in action and I can't find a copy of this, my favorite rom!
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
Not on m computer but i ma still have it on my SD card. I'll look tomorrow when I get to work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Sorry guys but I had to turn off my host... :-(

Hopefully someone has a current copy that they can post - if so I'll update the OP
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
I've got it. Not real savvy with the uploading/ downloading sites. How can you get it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
For many people, this is THE gold-standard Eris ROM ... it would be a real shame if it didn't stay available for as long as possible. Hopefully there's someone out there who can host this!
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
I will risk my dropbox account for a while if I get my hands on a copy.

Someone?

Anyone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
OK, it looks like I have a copy of 5.0.1, as well as the Froyo and CM Cache2Cache files. If you're willing to host for a while, I'll be happy to get them to you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] disconnecktie:
I have s 50gb box.com account that I can upload them too. I don't know if I can share them from it though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
OK so here we go. Thank you to zach.xtr (for making this) and pitamakan (for getting me copies)!

Download xtrROM5.01

Download xtrROM5.0

Download xtrROM4.2

Please feel free to update the OP with these links if you like! We'll see how long Dropbox lets me do this :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] scary alien:

Just a note to say this ROM is great...

I have been busy so not updated ROM since Senseable 2.x and switching to a nonSense based ROM with OC has been a HUGE change.

This ROM is lightning fast, it's like I have a completely different phone.

Great job by the dev and all who contributed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kreegaa:
anybody else has the "browser crashing" problem? mine just crashes.. no force close warning or anythin. straight back to home screen. first few days it was not tht bad. i thot the "market browsing" trick worked. but then it started all over again! my setup: base rom + social module.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
one thing i noticed... so, i deceided to disable JIT...

so, i just added the line: dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit to your build.prop file, then pushed (oddly enough, some other build.prop files i've worked with don't have your line of: dalvik.vm.heapsize=24m... but do have the line above, which your's does not have).

so, after doing this, TTS stopped working (would just close... and if i attempted to use it, just silent). i know this will not apply to most ppl, just wanted to add my .02.

in any case, love the ROM... i've tweaked it and love that everything "just works." (other than XDA, which of course the workaround does not work, no matter what i try). i did notice that thenestor posted that "xda-developers app v0.9" will work with JIT enabled
[Droid Eris Android Development] buff12db:
I installed JIT a few days ago. For the first two days, everything has been fine. But starting yesterday afternoon, my phone has been doing random reboots about every couple of hours.

I'm OC'd at 710 MHz right now. I was at 768, but I backed it down after getting the reboots.

Anyone else having this problem? Know any fixes?
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I'm at 729 MHz and hitting 4.872 mflops, no instability.
[Droid Eris Android Development] raphifix:
Update: The new version of XDA, 1.1, works with XtrROM/JIT as far as I can tell.
[Droid Eris Android Development] paintguy:
Eye Candy

For anyone who would like to jazz up this rom a little, try installing this theme with metamorph. I am also using launcherpro.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700173
[Droid Eris Android Development] atpjoe:
Been running for about a week.

OC @ 710MHz w/ JIT @ ~4.5MFLOPS

I get some random reboots about twice a day. Sometimes less. I just assume that's JIT. Other than that it is flawless.

Is there any way I can get vanilla sms on here? I hate the HTC sms app and handcent and chomp.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Threat_Paddles:
Has anyone made any progress on this? I love the ROM and would like to choose my dialer as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
:( sorry no progress yet... I can reproduce and will look to have for the next version.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sidework:
Im having the same problem. I know its not the letting it boot issue as I havent installed any other zips yet... its only a few apps... maybe its not a rom problem? Apps im having issues with are maps update, fring, Handcent, Sky Map, and ShopSavvy... There were plenty that dl just fine...

EDIT: I must have messed something up somewhere, I re-flashed and its all working fine now...

Great work BTW...

[Droid Eris Android Development] Erris Bueller:
Running Great

Just wanted to say I have really been enjoying this rom and have not had any major issues since I flashed the vboost module.

As I posted before - pandora fc's and acts very strange but other than that I have had absolutely zero issues. I run at 710 and have awesome battery life.

Thanks again for all your great work!:)

xtrROM 3.0

All,

I hope to have xtrROM3.0 done by the end of the weekend and will be looking for beta testers if anyone is interested.

This will be a major update including:

fully deodex

built in better memory management (like autokiller that you do not need to set)

apps2sd

my own personal theme

a number of minor system app tweaks such as customized setting to remove unused options

HQ youtube

fixed bug list

other tweaks that I have probably forgotten about :rolleyes:

main goal is still a stable daily ROM that just works yet is quick on its feet - I am getting MFLOPS in the 2.95+ (man I wanted above 3) WITHOUT jit or OC.

PM me if interested, thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
To those that PMed on beta testing, unfortunate my day job has crept into the weekend and decrease my play time :( So it is not likely that I will have xtrROM3.0 beta ready until next week sometime...

There is plenty to play with on the forum though with Froyo :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
You should get A2SD but with the current rom it keeps boot looping when i enable A2SD and install a app
[Droid Eris Android Development] octify:
This is a great rom coming from cynogen way more stable and way faster. Getting close to 5 mlops reliably at 710 mhz, max 728 stable. Very impressed, almost as responsive now as my roomate's incredible. Looking forward to a compeleted froyo rom however. I think this is the fastest and most stable rom for the eris available. Everything works too which is nice, the facebook sync and all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM3.0 in beta testing

All,

I have just sent xtrROM3.0 to the beta testers and hope to have it out sometime this weekend. Below is a list of the change log and I think everyone will like this one as it "just works" and still has all the fun features! :D

CHANGE LOG:

3.0 [6/31/2010]

This release is about customization! Summary of changes:

Everything from 2.1 plus...

Fully deodex – makes it easier to “hack” and modify HTC code - takes up more internal phone space however with apps2sd this is no longer important

Customized Apps2sd support based on the work of Damageless and TrevE @ xda

FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY: An updatable xtrROM.conf file that can be found in /system/etc/ that can be changed to reconfigure the phone on next reboot – future release will hopefully have an app to do this ;)

Internal memory management (you no longer need autokiller as it is built into the ROM)

Themed phone dialer

New DroidX keyboard customized and themed for Eris

Custom wallpapers

updated the menu>Settings to remove no longer used HTC options

could not resist adding the xda developers app

fixed known issue list

many other little improvements that I have probably forgotten
[Droid Eris Android Development] pacedrum69:
Im downloading it now...cant wait to try it out... Thanks, and Ill let you know of any bugs :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Erisftw:
Just when I got settled into Senseable.... Can't wait to flash!
[Droid Eris Android Development] pacedrum69:
i just flashed it, and it is taking a long time to boot....right now im stuck on the xtr custom eris screen....been about 10 min...hmmm..

(edit) ok all good now lol.... anyway to change the lockscreen??
[Desire General] GuestK00288:
Does anyone have any experience buying the HTC Desire from China?

I read that the Nexus One has been cloned. I see no official report that the HTC Desire has also been cloned, but I have noticed a lot of suppliers selling the Desire through Alibaba. I am wondering if these are clones too.

Today I bought an HTC Desire off eBay from China which is supposed to be brand new in the box.

It was rediculously cheap - 50-60% cheaper than the cost of an HTC Desire from a US seller.

Now I am worried it's a clone.

I have protection from eBay PayPal so I should be ok, but I am curious to hear what people think.

Also, does anyone know of a program which will read and tell me the hardware specifications of my HTC? I'm looking for one of those apps like Intel provides to give you the model and serial number of your processor on your PC. I figure this is one way of confirming whether I have a real HTC phone when it arrives.
[Desire General] tsekh501:
Any link to the eBay auction?

The "clones" of these high end cellphones in China are pretty fake. They resemble the real ones, but one can easily tell the difference. They definitely don't run android, and run some variation of Linux that is skinned to look like iPhone/WinMo/Android.

Once you have it in hand, it would be very obvious to you whether it is fake, either from the hardware or from the software, so there is no need to use any software to check the hardware specification.

There is no Nexus One/Desire clones that runs real Android or equipped with Snapdragon. Again, if it is a fake, it will be VERY obvious.
[Desire General] GuestK00288:
Thanks for your reply.

Here is the link.

I will ask the seller to send me pics he took instead of the ones he copied.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260611334391&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
[Desire General] JexL:
$170 US for a Desire!! from a zero feedback seller in China.....id never go near such.
[Desire General] GuestK00288:
I know.

I am betting on eBay and PayPal buyer protection to save me if needed.
[Desire General] Alex_w:
Judging from the fact that the image is just ripped from some blog site and not even an HTC press release shot, combined with the sellers score: 0. So no sales or even any buys to the account...

I would be very surprised if this guy has even seen a Desire in person, forget you receiving one in the mail from this seller :P

Is it really worth the trouble?
[Desire General] winx199:
I can tell you with no doubt, its a fake one! Because even in China, you won't get a real 2nd hand desire at that price.

-------------------------------------

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] GuestK00288:
This alone does not convince me.

When I sell items, I am lazy and rip images and descriptions from other listing.

However, add this to the fact that the seller has no scores...so maybe.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm
[Desire General] myth1001:
If it's too good to be true, it definitely is.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Mokurex:
Are you serious when you said you bought it? HTC desire for 170 unlocked..really?

Where I live, I can barely get a dumbphone unlocked for that money.
[Desire General] tsekh501:
Well, the picture was taken from some blog and the spec were copied from HTC website. That page alone can't tell whether the phone is real or not.

But as I said before, those Chinese clones of high end phones look really fake, and those Chinese sellers are not trying to scam people into believe that they are real. There is a market for cheap look-alike phones in China, and that market is what those "clones" are for.

People, the $170 final price is the result of an AUCTION, not a buy-it-now price. My bet is that this phone is real, but the fact that the seller is from China, together with the fact that he has 0 feedback, making no one wanted to bid on it. I highly doubt that he will ship you the phone, given how low the final price is. He will probably make up an excuse not to ship you the phone (out of stock, wrong listing, blah blah blah), and then refund you (I you had paid already). If he did ship you the phone, you win. If he shipped you a super fake clone, Paypal will get your money back. The only thing you will lose is time.
[Desire General] def-g:
I took a chance on a simular "deal" for a HD2 and I was sent a small pink noname brand(actually works, my woman loves it) and a FAKE Iphone 3G. Get you paypal refund info ready. :)

G
[Desire General] GuestK00288:
I had the same thoughts.

I will see what I do.

I have not paid yet and can back out if I like by cancelling my transaction before payment.

I emailed the seller and asked for real pictures, why he is selling, what the serial number is, etc. I will see if he answers.

Unfortunately the seller's English is pretty bad so communicating is difficult.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
[Desire General] lanceos:
HTC doesn't sell cellphones in China offically
[Desire General] McHale:
ebay buyer protection isn't worth ****. I got screwed when buying a PDA a couple years ago. ebay contacted me and told me not to send payment as his account was suspended. Unfortunately, I already had and received a box with a small rock in it which weighed what the PDA should.

I got about $200 back from ebay but I paid the guy $600.

USE YOUR CREDIT CARD AND YOU'LL BE FINE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.
[Desire General] st0kes:
Here are my golden rules for ebay, I hope this helps ....

NEVER buy a 'brand new' phone from ebay. You probably wont ever be able to return it, and might not have any kind of warranty.

Never buy anything from a seller with zero feedback. You simply cannot trust them if they do not have any reputation.

Never buy anything from China (unless you are sure about the seller).
[Desire General] flitjes:
Add to this list only buy form China if you think the money is worth the risk

But 170 bucks isnt worth it for me ;) maby for you then take your chances
[Desire General] jannen:
0 feedback seller from China...

I bought a while ago a Sony headset from China (was dead cheap so gave it a try), the seller had plenty of feedback and I eventually got the headphones. They looked so good, very real. But the sound... was worse than the cheapest pound store ones!! Funny thing is the seller disapperaed from Ebay straight after the paypal payment... no refund for the fakes. I def learned my lesson.
[Desire General] alfredolo:
I have seen a lot of this fake seller in china, all of them have 0 feedback or some fake feedbacks. Usually the sell all phones they can in a short period of time, and after that you get nothing and they will delete their ebay account.

I hope this one is not like it
[Desire General] abc27:
It's one of either two things.

You got scammed and will be sent nothing (Which is what i'm expecting)

Or

You're going to be sent a very very bad nexus one clone.
[Droid Incredible General] Mardenator:
i currently have a rooted G1 on Tmoible USA and my bill is $70 a month.. i was thinking of switching to verizon and getting a droid incredible, but can't find anything on the monthly costs.. i know i will need a data plan, but how much are we talkin' about here? i hardly ever call people, so i just need unlimited texting and a data plan.. anyone know how much this would cost a month??

thanks

[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
I believe that is the now infamous false Memorial Day "Prank", thanks though ;).
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
the cheapest u can get with verizon, is 39.99 for single line 450 minutes, and 29.99 monthly data. thats $70 + assorted taxes and whatnot, runs about 75 a month.

also, no its not rooted yet.
[Droid Incredible General] 4x4r8d:
Since you are on t-mobile. Why don't you checkout the Nexus One?
[Droid Incredible General] two_cents:
this only includes about 200 text msgs... so add another 15 bucks for atleast 1500... it was about 95 a month for my omnia which is the same plan as I would use for the incredible... if you have a friend or relative that just wants a basic phone do the family plan... 2 phones for 70 bucks with unlimited text.. add data for you for 30... 100 bucks for 2 phones... I have a plan with my mom and we both save...

I'm the primary account holder not her... I'm 29 but why waste money when you know you can save it...
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
that includes no text messages. why text when u can google voice.
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
Its going to be around 95 dollers a month for the 400 minute plan + unlimited data and unlimited text both.. I also used to have TMobile and a rooted G1 and i paid 75 a month after tax for that thing but i had callertunes and all that extra crap thrown in as well

I also dropped Tmobile and went to verizon for many reasons 1 being they have the incredible which i got like 3 days after it came out and 2 the service in my area is bulletproof with verizon and tmobile sucks

Also i work at bestbuy so i get 25% off my cellphone plan so im actually paying less per month then i did when i had tmobile as a regular customer
[Droid Incredible General] zebdor44:
I agree, the Nexus One has the same specs (except camera I think) so it's fairly equal to the Incredible. It'll probably save you some time and hassle with switching carriers. I would only make the switch if your 3G coverage is terrible. Nothing wrong with the Incredible though :) I've got one and love it!
[Droid Incredible General] Mardenator:
i haz no money lolz
[Droid Incredible General] Mardenator:
update: they actually rooted it this time. it's not a prank

[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Gizmodo and MobileCrunch have pretty much bashed the battery life to make it sound like if its not on the charger, it will die in a matter of an hour or three. For the people who got one from the I/O or other means. What do you get from the phone during a normal days usage? If its that bad, have you guys use SetCPU/Locale/App Killers etc? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] sergey.povzner:
With light to moderate use, it lasts through the day. A bit worse than Nexus One in that respect, but not too bad.
[EVO 4G General] deekoi:
Agree with sergey.povzner.

Android central had a great review on this. I have heard a mixed bag of battery life. Some sounded very good some didn't. But it's the most power smartphone out there so additional drain is expected.

[EVO 4G General] scaots:
I don't have anything extra except gmail and another account frequently syncing. I get 4-5 hours of browsing and email with 4g on or off, wifi off, gps off. Standby time doesn't seem to have significant effect though I'm sure it would be measurable if you left it in standby for a day. Adequate to get me though a day, but I hardly use voice.
[EVO 4G General] ahmedalishah:
What if you are watching full length movie on HTC Evo, how long will the battery last (especially if I put it on airplane mode)?

I am planning to switch from from Xperia X10i to HTC Evo. My x10 has the usual battery drain problem but I have controlled it with task killer. However, I am yet to run a full movie on it. If x10's battery life has more survival time (with task killer on it of course) then HTC Evo then I might think twice.

Also can the 'task killer' improve HTC Evo's battery life?
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Does anyone know if the Evo uses the HTC Touch Pro size battery like the Hero?

If so then I've already got an external charger and three extra batteries!
[EVO 4G General] Stunna4life888:
Honestly if anyone is that worried about battery life get another battery as a backup. Its been said many times on these forums that a HTC Touch Pro 2 and also a HTC Hero all use the same batteries as the EVO. (Confirmed). You can pick them up on ebay for around 7 or 8$. Which is pretty cheap! Nothing better than having an extra juice pack laying around waiting to be used!:D Hope this helps somewhat
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
LOL we posted at the same time, thanks for answering my question! I'll keep a backup in my glove box and one in my back pocket. This method worked great with my Hero.
[EVO 4G General] Stunna4life888:
Great minds think a like. Ya man wont get to hot in that glove box either. Its always nice to have a little something extra especially when we will be showing this bad boy off 24/7 to anyone that wants to see it! Cant wait to "Officially" get mine lol. Im about 17 hrs and 3 minutes form my appt.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
:D i'm so excited, wish I had an extra battery though, it'd be nice

8hrs 15min till i get mine!
[EVO 4G General] zcarman:
Gotta say this thing blows my old Moment's battery out of the water... 4.5 hours hard and heavy use... 60% left - no 4G coverage area (but it was left on by accident - ooops) and no video watching, but heavy text, email, and facebook/twitter activity.
[EVO 4G General] psufan5:
I ordered the extended slim battery from seidio.com. 1750 vs 1500. Should give a bit more in the long run.

Its been decent for me though. Just dont jack up your brightness, keep it on auto.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Wifi kills my battery. The signal never settles even though the coverage should be good all over my house.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
You want to go into advanced wifi settings and change WiFi sleep policy to never otherwise your phone will shut off WiFi after 15 mins of screen being off and you'll be using 3g which will use a lot more battery.

[EVO 4G General] tadda:
Mybattery was pretty terrible. Lose 10% per 40 minutes on standby mode alone. After messing around with it for a while I discovered the culprit was the location services. I turned them off and now I lose about 2% per hour on standby.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I'm curious, how exactly do you go about turning off the location services? Unless it's included with the GPS tab of the settings, I haven't been able to find such an option on my brother's Hero.
[EVO 4G General] tadda:
It's under settings , location and then location setting. This does not disable the 911 location which is good.
[EVO 4G General] hchavarria:
That's the only way if owning one of these devices. I just ordered a two battery pack from eBay because it dies quick. I can't imagine how fast it will die during the week since

thats when I use it the most.
