zach,

help please.... I keep getting failure at line 83 install busybox.sh. This is install after a clean wipe coming from xtrrom 4.6.5. Have tried twice and redownloaded. idk what to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
[EDIT] just saw where u redownloaded already. ..

Not sure what it could be. I'll have to think on it...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Maybe try a nand restore and then flash WITHOUT a wipe?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Please? ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] nyccharlie:
is anyone else having problems connecting to wi-fi? i can see, but cannot connect to any network i've tried. i've flashed the rom twice. wiped everything as well. still cannot connect to any wi-fi network. I am right next to both access points as well, meaning that i am holding the phone right next to it.

Stock keyboard and dialer

Zach,

I flashed the stock keys and dialer .zip with no problems (first time around). A few days later I switched to xtrSENSE (no wipe) with no problems. I went back to xtrROM (no wipe) and when I flashed the stock keys and dialer .zip, my phone app disappeared from view. With LauncherPro "Phone" doesn't show up as an application link, when I press the physical call button nothing happens, and the only way to get to the dialer is through contacts. I can still send and receive calls just fine. I tried wiping and reflashing, I tried flashing a Froyo ROM, wiping, flashing xtrROM again, but even then when I flash the stock keys and dialer .zip, my dialer disappears. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

chlila
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Are u wiping dalvik-cache?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Yes, both dalvik-cache and data/factory reset. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Standard lockscreen apk file for xtrROM5.0 odex

For those that wanted the stock lockscreen arch...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Are you using a backup/restore app and restoring system settings? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Nope. I sync Google data, flash the stock battery .zip, reboot, then flash the stock keyboard and dialer .zip. Upon reboot, I experience the problems listed above.

I will probably try again this afternoon, and I'll post the outcome.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Can you try the stock keys without the stock battery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Will do. I'll post the outcome.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Thanks for this, Zach!

Just curious, I dropped in into /system/app (renamed the original one first) and after a reboot, I get the non-sense (left-to-right) lockscreen. Are we supposted to install it?

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
I flashed only the stock keyboard and dialer .zip and got the same outcome...no phone app!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
okay I am going for straws here but can you redownload the stock keys zip from the xtrROM thread and make sure you are flashing it for xtrROM5.0?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Can you try the adb push method?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
I'm ahead of you! I redownloaded before flashing today. I noticed a few pages back Capt. Napalm had the same problem. No prob! I may go back to xtrSENSE. I'll keep checking the forum to see if it is solved.

Thanks for the help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hmm... after some thought you may need to use the following instead and just remove (or move to a separate folder) both the HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex files...

I suppose that this is a great example of how ROMs that are odex are harder to modify :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
I tried that before asking for help. Went from 4.6.5 to 5.0 with just a flash, but got the abort error, so tried a fresh flash with wipe factory and dalvik but got the same error. Then restored nand but then had all sorts of problems with GV, swype, launcher pro and others force closing. IDK if it is something with this eris or what bc 5.0 is running fine on my eris , but wife's keeps getting install failed at line 83install busybox (same with 5.0 and 5.0 beta) . I am running the newest Tainted Tenzo for now but would like to try 5.0 if you have any ideas. I am stuck :(

edit: after all the trouble with nand restore i tried to flash 5.0 again with same error
[Droid Eris Android Development] Capt. Napalm:
For what it's worth: I tried re-downloading and re-flashing 5.0 (after a couple data/dalvik wipes) with no success. Had the exact same problem as before. SO, I tried a no-wipe update from 4.6.5 to 5.0, again no luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Hey guys looks like I got a little crossed up over the weekend and thought the stock keys zip was working. .. good news is that it sounds like it is not working for anyone on 5.0 so I should be able to fix it; bad news is I may not have tome until next weekend ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Thanks Zach! I'll check this thread for updates!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Sorry to say this now, but stock keys worked for me. Flashed it right after I flashed the rom before booting up the first time.

EDIT: if it makes you feel any better, I never got the stock lock screen to work properly, but I am NOT complaining.
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Mine worked the first time too. It wasn't until after I flashed a different ROM (xtrSENSE), then came back to xtrROM that my phone disappeared and I lost functionality of the green call button. That's what makes things peculiar!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
Zach-

Any chance you could tweak our build.prop with overclocked network speeds like they did for the CDMA Hero?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900552

I edited the build.prop with the network tweaks. Network speed seems faster. I have attached it for anyone who wants to try it. I'll try a speed test tonight and post the results.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Interesting! I'll try this when I have a chance to Nandroid first. I remember I tried applying a tweak that came from a different phone on another network several months ago and it didn't make any difference for me. Don't know if this is the same thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] luis2k10:
I just installed it on my old eris. It works great thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
xtrROM wallpers

per keeverw request attached is a .zip of the wallpapers
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnny quest:
I loaded this rom and love it, no 3d gallery for starters and for the smoothness. but I have a question, my phone button doesn't respond to make a call.

never mind I got it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
Has anyone alse had trouble with xtrROM and the S=OFF bootloader? I initially loaded this ROM with no noticeable problems, but then loaded the S=OFF bootloader so I could flash a different splash screen and trouble began. I can't say I have a recurring problem because every time I reset or re-flash the ROM something different messes up. Apps not working right, problem with text messages, etc.

I downloaded the xtrROM again along with the gscript.zip and verified the checksums on both this time. I am going to start all over and see what happens, but am curious if this has been an issue before.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I have S=OFF and have never had an issue with any version of xtrROM. It's a solid ROM for sure.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is it recommended to wipe Dalvik cache when changing bootloaders, or should it make no difference?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
UPDATE ///

I re-installed xtrROM after verifying checksums and so far so good. Maybe there was a problem with my first download but I deleted it before verifying the checksum so I don't know for sure. I'm also thinking that some data backed up by Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro was somehow corrupt. I tried both and neither would restore notification settings, bluetooth pairings, gmail accounts or ringtones.

After several failed attempts I installed the ROM, used Titanium Backup to reinstall the apps and then went through the rest of the settings manually. It seems to be working but it sure would have been a lot faster if either of the backup apps had worked properly.

For whats it's worth I cleared the Dalvik cache each time I reinstalled the ROM.

I moved to xtrROM from xtrSENSE after I started using LauncherPro. xtrSENSE was a huge improvement over stock and xtrROM is noticeably faster still. Thanks Zach! Now I'm worried I might not ever want to upgrade phones because I'll lose this ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
It's rarely a good idea to try to restore system items (those items colored green or red) in Titanium from one ROM to another. I'd have guessed that going from xtrSENSE to xtrROM should be ok, but it's so easy to re-establish gmail accounts (in particular) that I'm not even tempted to try.

I suppose if you had a lot of bt devices it would be a pain, but it's still not that hard to re-pair devices.

For setting ringtones and the like, I have an app called Setting Profiles. I paid for the full version, and it's worth it for me. When I change to a new ROM, I just activate my main profile and all of my key settings are set.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
I'll check that out. Thanks

I just got an email back from RerWare (MyBackup) and apparently none of the stuff I mentioned is considered a "system setting". I incorrectly assumed that everything accessed through the "settings" button was a system setting and should have been backed up, but apparently not. Now I know.

Anyway my phone works great, better than ever before, and I'm a happy camper.
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
Zach - do you think that this Notification Power Widget port from cyanomod would work on this build?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mia9516:
I just started receiving an OTA update message this morning on my Eris running xtrRom 5.0. I presume this is not supposed to happen correct? How do i fix this issue? Thank you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tortuga:
I also got an OTA update message, mia. It doesn't say anything about a version that it's upgrading to. I'm tempted to NAND backup and give it a try. I wonder if it's the July 10 update that came over the air, but I thought most of these roms were built on that version.

Edit: Maybe I won't install it. Looks like just a feature upgrade. I imagine it will be added to a future version. The only problem is that this upgrade pop-up is appearing constantly. Actually the more I look at it, the more I think it may be the July10 OTA.

http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/eris.pdf
[Droid Eris Android Development] mia9516:
I agree. Nothing more annoying than getting the upgrade pop-up in the middle of doing something. Wish there was a way to dismiss it permanently...
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It shouldn't be the July Ota, all of zach.xtr's Roms are already built on that. Look in the eris general section, there is a new, small ota that people here have become aware the stock rom will get.

Zach must've left ota on by mistake. If you tell it to install it, it will try but fail without damaging current setup, plus it won't nag you anymore; thanks to btfb0 for all that info.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I'll have to see if I can take a look at this on the weekend ...

ota is not likely on could someone test by going to settings-about phone-system updates and clicking to see if u get the FC as expected?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mia9516:
Just looked under settings>about phone and under system update it says system updates disabled (will fc if selected). Unfortunately, I'm no where near a charger and btu phone its almost dead. Shocking for an Eris, I know ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
From my experience with both of your roms going to the update checker thing force closes... maybe you didnt remove something else?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
I just tried it and it takes me to the update screen with the "restart and install" button. I had not tried this before tonight when the update appeared so I can't say what it would have done before the update notice appeared.

Here's the link to the update info ... Eris Update
[Droid Eris Android Development] roscuthiii:
I've been enjoying Gingerbread... but there's just something about an xtr rom that draws me back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
That's not the July 2010 update. The radio is the same but the rom version is different. Its a feature and performance upgrade.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
If this did not FC then I indeed did not remove the update apk ... must have missed when I odex the ROM...

I'll look to fix this weekend
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Untill I make a flashable update and update the ROM download you can solve the update notification issue by deleting the Systemupdater.apk and Systemupdater.odex from the system/app/ folder.

Sorry I forgot to remove these from the build...
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
I just went ahead and told it to install and it errors out. A reboot and no more annoying popup
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
Sweet, Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
Did this using Root Explorer (make sure you click the "Mount R/W" button first) and it worked great. No more prompt!

Zach, are you planning to incorporate the new update into the next release or just remove the updater.apk? I ask since many are reporting better signal strength since the update and I know I would benefit greatly from that. It also appears that the battery life is improved as reported by several folks over at Android Forums ... Android Forums Eris System Update Thread

Thanks for your work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
agreed, including that vzw update form march would be great. im currently using xtrsense with it built in and my batt life has been great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
i tried gingerbread, but it just wasnt as fast as an xtr
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Not sure when I'll get to it but I will update xtrROM to the new code base...
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Lovin this news! I've been bouncing around trying new ROMs lately, but nothing has run as smooth as the XTR!

I'll miss a few of the GB nuances, but it pays to be smooth...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Great news. Thanks!

By the way - what's your gsb xtr build? I didn't see that one
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm guessing that since it's GSB 2.1 (GingerShedBread) and he had some activity in the GSB thread, that he's just referring to his own, personal xtrized copy of GSB 2.1. I don't think he actually has a released GB ROM, but if he did I doubt if he would include the name of another ROM in it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Bingo :D

With worksheds (and canop & taz) efforts there is nothing much I could add to GB...

Personally I can't run stock though ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hehehe! 10 char...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Fair enough. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
Here's an apps2sd question. I think the answer is "no" but I'll ask anyway because I hope I'm wrong.

Since apps2sd works by " 'linking' the /system/sd/app to the /data/app folder so that the Android system thinks it is accessing the /data/app it is really at /system/sd/app." If you manually moved (with Root Explorer) select apps back to the /data/app folder would they be recognized and run properly? I'm thinking the answer is no because if the system is fooled into "thinking" it's looking at that folder when it really isn't then anything in that folder should be ignored.

Has anyone tried this? I ask because I would like to keep apps that run at startup on the phone and put everything else on the SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't exactly know the answer to your question but look up an app someone made (I think on here) called Link2SD, which augments old style Apps2SD by letting you only move to the SD card the apps that you want, allowing you to keep whatever you want in the phone memory for faster access.

FYI I think what actually gets linked is the data/app folder to the ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
Another question on this:

Should there be any files the /data/app folder? I tried installing a game and I keep getting low on space errors but I have apps2sd turned on. Can I delete all the files in /data/app since the apps are actually on the sd?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You shouldn't manually be doing anything to files in data/app. If it's in there, it's there for a reason. I seem to recall that with the old style Apps2SD, that the app's data is still kept in data/app and not in the SD card's Ext2/3 partition, so you might get a nasty surprise if you delete the files there. If there are apk files in there, then I might question, since those should be in the Ext2/3 partition.

That brings me to ask, I'm assuming that you actually do have your SD card partitioned with an Ext2 or Ext3 partition in addition to the normal FAT32, correct? If you didn't, that's the only reason I can think of that the game would refuse to install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
It's partitioned and Ti Backup says I have 476MB free in the partition and I ran GScripts and Apps2sd is true. What I don't understand is that the phone says it only has 43.73MB of available space even though I'm using A2SD. I remember a post about why this is but couldn't find it.

I'm also downloading the app from Amazon-apps. i don't know if that has anything to do with it but even with 43MB free on the phone I should be able to get a +/-15MB app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The phone itself doesn't report the space that Apps2SD makes available, only the space available on the phone itself, and the space available on the normal, FAT32 partition of the SD card.

No idea about Amazon-apps. Never heard of it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
I know the phone doesn't but Titanium Backup does and I partitioned it to 600MB. There should be plenty of room. As for Amazon-apps, it's something new and everyday they a free paid app but you have to have their app to get it and have "allow install of non-market apps" checked. I'm not sure what to do now. Hopefully the fact that I put the free app in my cart I will be able to download it later.

Thanks for the help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
It's the Amazon Android app store.

[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
VERY interesting! Thanks for the info.

Sure, wish I came up with a solution. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
I'm going to do a full wipe and reflash 5.0 and only load the apps I really need. We'll see what happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Let us know if that helps!

Fianlly (OT), I've reached the number of thanks which equals the answer to life, the universe, and everything (42)! LOL.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Linkford:
Is there a way to get rid of the ota update screen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
Click ok to update. It won't allow it, but it will take away the msg.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
Or go into System\apps and delete the updater app and odex file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Linkford:
The best rom yet. This and the xtrrom is the only rom i have used where i can keep my ram memory and everything works on the phone including the screen awake during a call. Would be nice to have some of the features of Froyo or Gingerbread but I will stick with this. Thanks Zack.:

:D:D:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
I've tried GSB 3 times and can never last more than a week and a half before coming back to xtrROM. It's just so stable and battery friendly. The only thing I miss is the notification power widget that GSB has but I can live without it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yeah, that, the native Apps2SD and even the power off menu (recovery, etc.) are the largest reasons I like Froyo and GB. Sometimes it is still tempting to go back to xtr, though!
[Droid Eris Android Development] PieceKeepr:
If only there was a full on xtr GB ROM that would run as smooth and fast as xtrROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
Now that would make my head spin!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tguellich:
Works great, 1 question...

I have rooted and rommed before, just never on my wife's Eris. She finally got tired of the poor performance. I picked this rom for it's stability and speed. I rooted and flashed and everything went fine. Redownloaded all her apps and Launcher Pro. This is great, thank you for the hard work.

When I go to the app drawer via Launcher Pro, it loads fine. If I use the trackball, I can go wherever I like. BUT if I touch the screen, it Force Closes. I searched through this thread and can't seem to find an answer. Any ideas?

Thanks again
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
Apparently the just-released version of LauncherPro (I think it came out yesterday) is having issues with some 2.1 ROMs. You may want to try another, like ADW, until this is straightened out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rossco_Pee:
I am having a similar issue. I'm sure there will be a fix soon. I just DL'ed an older version from the LP website for now,
[Droid Eris Android Development] chlila:
I experienced this as well. Zeam Launcher is a great, light alternative. Not nearly the options though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
Thank God for Titanium Backup. Experienced the same thing so went to TB and restored the previous version. Ta da, no more problem. TB is worth paying for just for the unattended scheduled backups.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tguellich:
Thanks

OK, so it was just a bad coincidence that I rooted and rommed at the same time LP's update began FCing. Glad I don't have to redo all that. I will download an older version of LP until the next update comes out. Thanks again for the help.
