After a few days with 4.7 beta its very stable.

The market is stable on "MY" phone don't know about others but hopefully it is.

The battery life for "ME" did seem to have decreased until I reset battery settings in recovery. Now im trying to drain my battery but its draining very slowly

:)

Oh and for those expieringcing boot loops..."MY" fix was wipe data, dalvik, and partition.(Hopefully that helps):confused:

Great Rom.

Thanks Zack
[Droid Eris Android Development] PiperCub49:
As a forward, I am running 4.6 right now and plan on upgrading to 4.7 when in comes out of beta. What I am really wondering is whether or not I can get the rotary lockscreen. I know that this question has been asked in the past, but I believe those posts pertained to different versions of xtrRom. I don't know if Widget Locker has it, but I would rather do it myself anyways...

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

PC49
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I can't answer your question the way you want, but I just wanted to let you know that yes you can easily configure WidgetLocker with the rotary lockscreen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Been running 4.7 beta since release and have had no issues to speak of. First 20 min or so it was slow but after that it back to xtr blazing speed. Everything is working perfect.

As usual great work zach. Loving the choice of old home as well, thanks for that!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dragonbro:
I was running the 4.0.6.1 version of XTRrom with great battery life! I setup everything as identical as possible between rom's and the 4.6 uses a bit more juice. I went back to the 4.0.6 and ran for a few days, all is well. I just re-flashed the 4.6, wiped battery stats, and full wipe. Will check the battery stats for the next 2 days again.

There were a few other people that posted about the battery life on Android forum. Thanks again for all your hard work!!!

Is anyone having problems getting WIFI to work? Have one with xtrRom 4.7 and one with xtrSense 4.6 and neither hook to wifi - they see it and will connect with a unsecured or secured network but both get network unavaible using market or web page not available with browser. both work when not on wifi using phone service. Had plainJane an wifi worked with it. I can see address and have excellent signal. Ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Here is one for you Zach...

Ok, so I would like to install a themed version of launcher pro. A guy in the LP Forums has made this themed version of LP.

http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4123

But I cannot install the apk file because I cannot remove yours. Even if I remove it with adb and push the new one on it fails.

Any ideas? The blue theme is nice looking.

OR

Can you make xtr easily themable? LOL...
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
i had the same problem using signals23 LPP mod... i ended up using the update.zip version and it finally took...
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
lovin 4.7... battery use does seem to have gotten worse since 4.5 i think... otherwise everything is crazy snappy and runs like a dream!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
I am having a strange problem occur. Whenever I have the ringer enabled, the ringer, email, and notifications sound off at the highest level, no matter how low I have the volume set at. Has anyone had this happen? I tried rebooting without any luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
Im looking to flash this on my Eris, however my Eris is on MetroPCS and thus has been metroflashed. This is the guide that i will be following once i find a ROM that supports IPtables and stuff and was wondering if this can do that?

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...an-HTC-Droid-Eris-to-Metro-PCS-(Tutorial-v2.0)

Also, would flashing this erase the metroflash thats already on the phone that lets it be on Metro's network?
[Droid Eris Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
I don't know if I'm doing this right but.... here is something cool...I cant install it in system, however installing with astro will work. I first deleted every trace of youtube with root explorer, then i rebooted and tried install it set perms and another reboot but no go....but it will work in data

I've moved on to the HTC Incredible, but just wanted to thank zach for all the great ROM's the he's made. My mom still has an Eris so I'm running xtrSENSE for her.

Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Atamagaokashii:
I'd just like to chime in that my battery life has been MUCH better with 4.7, especially with battery tweak on and then running the battery to the ground and then wiping the battery stats in Amon_Ra. Hope that helps some of you reporting bad battery life.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmm... I have not heard of any wifi issues and cannot reproduce :(

Maybe a reflash?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
i actually wasn't having issues with the market before but the past couple days for some reason when I'm updating apps it just sticks on 'Starting Download' and doesn't ever download and install the app i'm trying to update... i tried cancelling and restarting and it doesn't work... and some apps do this and some don't... not sure what the deal is...
[Droid Eris Android Development] mtbkdtbg:
Went back to xtrRom 4.6 and still no wifi - did wipe all 3 cache and batt stat. going to do it again to see if something from Ti backup is causing something to go wrong. I only restored apps with Ti.
[Droid Eris Android Development] infamousxsniper:
Zach I saw that you would be able to change the lock screen to clear. Would you be able to give xtrsense users the clear lock screen as well?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
I resisted trying 4.7 because I didn't think this ROM could get any better.......Boy was I wrong! 4.7 absolutely flies on my phone. Thanks so much for your hard work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Atamagaokashii:
I've noticed this problem as well, and it even occurs when using appbrain. I've found that it happens more often than not on apps that are marked for auto-updating and that it happens less frequently if you manually update them one at a time...
[Droid Eris Android Development] douglasmcusmc:
I changed from he 3d back to 2d all I did was move the file to the foyer and remove the 3d file and reboot. Work fine from then on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] douglasmcusmc:
Where do I get the script for market 2.2. Or what do I need to do to enable this I'm on 4.7... thank ya for the work this Rom is great. I just turned jit on and this is lightning fast....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
Loaded this ROM on my MetroFlashed Eris...it rocks. Fast and reliable, love it!

I followed a guide to provision my phone to work with the data and MMS features of MetroPCS and through it all, it appeared my Email app was working fine. I stopped checking it before i did one final step (to provision for Apps that need data to work right) assuming it was still working and now when i load the Mail app it tries to refresh then says "Network Error." I dont understand, everything else works fine that needs data. Facebook, etc...even Gmail works. I figured id try adding my AOL mail account to my Gmail app but the option to add anything OTHER than a gmail account is not there. What do you guys suggest i do? I tried k9mail and it has the same issue as the stock Mail app. Is there a way to add a non-Gmail account to the Gmail app?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i've personally never used any other POP mail since Gmail... but, i'd suggest trying to manually add it via the web. any difference? (not sure if you'd still have to setup via phone, or if settings will just import). worth a shot (if you haven't already done this, of course... if so, then ignore my ignorance) :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
What do you mean by setting it up via the web? Like i can go to gmail.com and add my AOL email to there?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM4.6.5 is out

xtrROM 4.6.5 is out.

minor updates and fixes and you can see the change log for details.

should be a no flash update comming from 4.6

NOTE: Gscript values for system settings will have to be RESET
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
I wonder if maybe uninstalling and reinstalling the stock Mail app will solve the issue im having, is that even possible?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
you can complete a no wipe ROM flash which would do this for essentially all the system apps...

Also with Root Explorer you can move an app out of the system/app folder and then back which will trigger the Android OS built in app install...

Not sure if it will help but something to try...

NAND backup first! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
Ok gonna try the no wipe flash and see if that does the trick, thanks.

edit: reinstalled it so i was happy about that, however im having the same problem still. I need like a newer version of Gmail that lets me add non-google email accounts so I can just use that, since the gmail app does seem to work. I cant find the newest android 2.1 compatible Gmail app anywhere.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
The updated gmail app only seems to work on Froyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
so does that mean without froyo i cant add my AOL mail account to gmail?
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
Im pretty sure you would have to use the mail app for your aol mail.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
If thats the case is there any way to internally modify the mail app's web access settings or something like that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nujackk:
Ok, that looks like friendstream in your pics, do you have it working in this rom?

Or is that a different app?

Guess i should mention I am referring to the screen shots on the first Post
[Droid Eris Android Development] nujackk:
Nevermind, Figured it out. Its part of Launcher pro :( was really hoping to get friendstream on xtrsense
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
No, you can set up gmail (from a PC browser) to get POP mail from other servers, like AOL mail. Gmail has a pretty good set of help pages for setting this up: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21288

Once you have it set up, all of that mail will also appear in gmail on Android. I have my external accounts set up with a custom label (basically, I set it to that email address) to make it obvious that it came from the external account. There is also a way to set it so that when you reply to one of those messages, it will reply with your AOL account rather than with your gmail account.

This sounds like Helgaiden's best option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You may want to try this again with 4.6.5... I had renamed the LP apk in last version but left it stock this time so the overwrite might work...
[Droid Eris Android Development] trishuhh:
None of the core htc apps (people, photos, calendar, etc) work after flashing this rom, it's an instant force close. The rom I had before was your xtrROM version 4.6

Halp.:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Loving this one. I do have to say that for me it is eating battery. Full charge at 9am, its now 2:30 and 35% battery is gone. 46% used by android system. I will keep an eye on it.

Thanks on for the LPP fix! Custom LPP's here I come.

Got wifi going used pinger to figure out it had something to do with router ( 1 hr of troubleshooting) - Interesting steps I took to figure it out - Since I thought it had something to do with exrrom 4.7 - tried PlainJane1 thinking that would be original enough to get wifi work - holy molly talk about slowwwwww - didn't realize exrrom so fast - then tried 4.6 - 4.6.5 then back to 4.7 which works great (no problem with market here an prefer 2.2) battery life is better with 4.7 than any rom I tried.

Only thing I miss is the cool keyboard in 4.6 - so how do I get that keyboard on 4.7?

zach.xtr your 4.7 rom is the ****s for cool.

[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Long press on any input field and select the multi-touch option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Very odd... honestly there is NOTHING that should cause any of the versions to have differt battery so I must admit I personally think most battery issues are outside of control of the ROM...

I recently reset my battery stats which help quite a bit for me so would suggest that thread... I am over 60% still with 13 of up-time...
[Droid Eris Android Development] mtbkdtbg:
That was too easy - Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 172av8r:
I'm a bit lost with the versioning. 4.7 Beta came out. Then official 4.6.5. How do these two compare? Will there be an official 4.7 coming?

I was anxious to try 4.7, but wanted to wait for official release, as it sounded that there might have been some glitches in the Beta release.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Wondering this myself. Am running 4.7 beta with no issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
The only functional difference is that 4.7 had the 2.2 market and 4.6.5 has the 2.1 market as some users reported issues on their phone... if you flashed 4.7 and have no problems then no reason to change. More details are available in the thread.

A 4.7 is not in the works
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
Zach, is the 4.7 beta still available? I'd like to try the 2.2 market and see what happens ...

Thanks! And as always, thanks for a great ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jpstorms01:
I was running 4.7 and thought everything was running fine with the 2.2 market, until I flashed 4.6.5 tonight. Almost all my apps had an available update that I wasn't getting notifications on with the 2.2 market. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] pitamakan:
Heh ... well, maybe I don't want 4.7 then. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You can also get the 2.2 market easily from a thread in the general section.
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Zach am trying out the CFsv8 how do i set the governor to "smartass" with your ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
There are a few options for you

1. From root explorer (or similar) go to /system/etc/usersettings/conf/ and open the cpu_scaling_governor_value file in the text editor. you should see the following:

echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor;

change "ondemand" to "smartass" and save the file. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ANY BACKUP FILES THAT THE FILE MANAGER APP MAY SAVE.

2. Since the default is already set to smartass for the kernel (I believe that's what Canop stated...) you can just delete the cpu_scaling_governor_value file and reboot the phone.

Hope this helps and let us know how the kernel work with xtrROM :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Thnx Zach your the best! :) I just reflashed the Zanfur kernel cuz I was on CFS6 and man its soooo fast compared to CFS6 :)

Are you currently using the stock kernel on your ROM? Or CFS :)

Also when I delete the cpu_scaling_governor_value file and reboot the phone will it say "smartass" under the report_system_settings Gscript?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
I am not sweating it. I can get through the day on a single charge and that is what matters. Small price to pay for the speed. Great work!.

I do have a question for you. Say I want to add more notification sounds, directly into the system not via an app. Where would I push them to and would they automatically be listed by the system or do their names have to be added to a file somehwere?

Also is it possible to set seperate tones for notifications vs emails?

H.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
You can put them anywhere on your SD card, in a folder called "Notifications". I have a folder on my SD called "media", with a folder under that called "audio", with two folders called "notifications" and "ringtones" and they are accessible to any app, or the system setting, that is looking for those sounds - but you don't have to be that organized; just a folder called "Notifications" should work. They'll have to be in a format that Android can play; I use MP3 files.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
Zach - any way to incorporate the lock screen graphics into an older xtrROM.

[Droid Eris Android Development] daddythree:
Just installed the 4.7 Beta version. Did a no wipe install over 4.6. Seems to be working well, however, my Storm 8 World War game will not load. Reinstalled from market but still will not load. Any Thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bikedogrun:
Used the Gscript to try the Cyanogen Music widget, now wish to un-install but there is no similar Gscript?

Can it be removed from the Settings/Applications list? If so, which one is it?

If needs ADB rm... need to know its name & location I guess ...

Enjoying xtrROM 4.6.5 so far, have made "peace" with the browser; even though pinch/zoom on all mobile sites (see Google Reader) would be a (VERY) welcome addition/ ;)

/BD :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] gersto:
Actually nevermind, was having issues, app crashing, etc.. Now i have 4.6.5 loaded and it's It's running good.

I decided to dive into customizing my ROM so i grabbed Android Kitchen and have been playing around such as add/removing apps etc. So far so good.

I wanted to replace the DroidX keyboard with the Jonas Custom HTC one (i like it so much better) But whenever i do that, on first boot the apk just crashes constantly. Only way i can fix it is to install the apk using Astro and then move it to the system/app folder. I'm running apps to SD. I looked at the original thread for the MOD but it looks like i should be able to just pop it in. How did you get it to work in xtrSense without needing to install it manually?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hwcm73:
I can't get into Accounts & Sync. Keeps force closing. I tried wipe and reinstall. Still force closes.

Also. How can I uninstal launcherpro so i can install a themed version. The install fails because the version installed wont allow another version installed over it.

I really like this rom. Its very smooth and quick. Thank you for the work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
bikedgrun,

Don't know where the app is installed, but estrongs file explorer is a free app and will allow you to uninstall any app even if it is in system/apps. You could try that, just check off root access in the settinge and mount system files.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
LOL... I have a media folder as well with an audio folder in it as well. I will add the others and test it out.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Haxcid:
Zach, I thought 2.1 could play WMA files. I get my voice mails via exchange server. I download them and the player says that it cannot play this type of media file. I recall that it worked in an older version of your rom. v3.x I think.

Any thoughts?

Also still getting heavy battery drain.

48% Cell Standby

48% Phone Idle

2% android system

2% WiFi
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You know I am not sure on the WMA files... I do not see how an older version would play them if the current does not :confused:

Perhaps Tenzomonk has a thought as I know he spent a bit of time with sound files when we worked on the vanilla ROM...

battery has been good as normal for me but you may want to try the recalibrate battery thread as switching between ROM's does "confuse" the battery...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
It is the /system/app/Music.apk file and should be able to remove via adb.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Not sure if it is your issue but this is a lot of times caused by using a backup and restore program and restoring system settings accross different ROMs; it will cause even more issues accross 2.2 and 2.1 ROMs ;)

The best way to remove launcher pro is with a Root Explorer type app or adb commands from your computer using the Android sdk. it is located at /system/app/com.fede.launcher.apk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
I'm currently running xtrROM 4.0.6.1 and want to flash the current version. I read in the installation info that I need to wipe SD:ext partition. I've never done that step. I've only wiped the Dalvik-cache and did the data/factory reset prior to flashing a new version. Do I copy my whole SD card to my computer and then copy all the files back on to my phone once it has rebooted after the latest version of xtrROM flashes?

Thank you
[Droid Eris Android Development] d08speed3:
Yes you have it correct. If you plan on using apps2sd partion the SD card then copy your files back. However when I upgraded to to 4.6.5 I never wiped my SD:ext partion. Been running good with no problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
You would only have to wipe sd:ext if you created an extended partition on your SD card for apps2sd or cache2sd, and wiping that partition will not affect the files on the rest of your SD card. If you did not go through the steps to create an ext partitions (i.e., backup your card, partition it, convert the partition, copy your files back), then you can skip that step. If you do it anyway without an ext partition on the SD card, it'll be fine; nothing will happen to the files on your SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
Thank you d08speed3 and doogald!

Also my batttery is dying FAST. Low cell standby so i mean... idk? Ive never had to recalibrate. Would wiping battery stats help at all? I dont have the time to recalibrate as i need my phone 24/7

[Droid Eris Android Development] bikedogrun:

Scroll down to Notification flash and see the options. You can check Missed call/SMS/Email/Voice Mail & Reminders.

/BD :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
It only flashes the trackball for those items (and email does not include the Gmail app - just the HTC Mail app.) Unfortunately, any other third-party app, including Gmail, which are supposed to flash the trackball will flash the green LED at the top instead (and they seem to stop flashing after some period of time has passed - again, unfortunately.)
