one thing i have found that works best is not only to wipe data/dalvic but also wipe wipe the sd card and reformat just keep ur backups on ur computer and put back on sd card if necessary
[Droid Eris Android Development] satdaten:
Doesn't bother me as long as it's not doing it when I'm using it. Thanks for the heads up Conap.

v1.9

Getting random restarts and browser crashing..?????

Nevermind.... I should have read other post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drtchocky:
So I am noticing that the soft keys stay on the whole time the screen. Is on... is there a fix for this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] srsaloom:
Thanks Conap. Disabling JIT seems to have resolved the issue. I just found it curious that there was a sudden change since I didn't have the same problem with 1.8 or 1.7, wouldn't have really thought that any code would've hurt the architecture, although in all honesty, my phone has been kind of wonky as of late, I think I had overclocked too high for too long, may have done irreparable damage to the processor
[Droid Eris Android Development] xvoorheesx:
I was having same issue. Removed Flash, and all is well. Thanks for the post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnewethicx:
Rooted about a month ago, and went straight to the 1.8 Cyanogen mod... was incredibly happy with it other than the camera issues, now that those issues have been resolved in 1.9, am THRILLED! Thanks so much for all your work, and for continuing to breathe life into this cool little phone that Verizon and HTC have given up on. Urging friends to check out your handiwork as well!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I have a couple questions...

1. I know the rom is overclocked to 710mhz by default. If that speed is fine with me would there be any reason to use SetCPU?

2. Why would you reccomend I have the settings in the "Cyanogen Mod Settings"( Jit, Compcache, surface dithering) set to for my battery life to be the best it can?

Has anyone been able to install the new Voice Search? I get the following error: Installation Error: Package file was not signed correctly.

I'm using v3 of Google apps
[Droid Eris Android Development] satdaten:
I have the same issue. Can't update the Google Search or Voice Search apps. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
You need to uninstall the default. Ones with adb or root explorer, reboot then download. From the market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcook1670:
Yep... I get a failed install. Does the new koasfroyo 28 have it? It said something about search in the Chanel log
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
Yes it does.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcook1670:
I uninstalled voice search and went in the market and installed the new one, worked for a minute, now I get a connection problem... what gives?
[Droid Eris Android Development] capcoward:
The Verizon app doesn't work, it says it cannot validate my phone number. Is there a fix for this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] smileythom:
New voice search

I was successful when I uninstalled voice search using titanium backup, rebooted, then reinstall voice search from the market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drtchocky:
Any fix for the soft keys issue?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Which Verizon app?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Senor Peligro:
Thanks for the reply. Any fix on this in progress?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
For those that want the new google voice search I updated the google apps package. It will remove the old one and install the new one just reflash the google apps. I updated link in first post and also will put the link here.

Default keyboard not sticking between reboots

Hi, I searched this thread for the latest posts using the keyword "keyboard" and didn't find anything applicable, so here goes. First time I'm trying this ROM (v1.9). I use ShapeWriter (the last apk that was available - v3.09?), however each and every time that I reboot the phone, it defaults back to the stock keyboard. When I check settings, ShapeWriter is no longer checkmarked as enabled.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
this is strange...ive used ShapeWriter with probably 30 ROMS since i started flashing i used linda file manager to back it up to my sd card before i rooted and have used that since and have never had it reboot to not have it selected hope u can figure it out soon its sooooo much better than swype
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Is this what's on the market? I flashed and it's not showing in the market that it's installed is that norm?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
yes its the one in the market...it won't show up as being installed. If you want it to show up in market you would need to delete it from system/app and then download it from market...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Oh it's fine just checking lol I'm not a pro just yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I'm not sure if its the rom or if this is how it's always been but I've noticed my display uses a good chunk of my battery. Could the fact that the softkey lights are always on while the screens on with this rom be accelerating the battery drain?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lumisi:
Absolutely. The lights suck up battery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
Any word on this, Mr Conap?
[Droid Eris Android Development] RampageDeluxe:
I believe this is the way the Eris works on unrooted phones. I remember mine always being on and annoying me, then when I rooted, I was annoyed that the lights werent working on the rom I was using.
[Droid Eris Android Development] timmywa:
My wife's stock rom and several rooted roms softlights work based on ambient light. They should turn on and off as needed based on lighting in your current area.

What are the adb commands necessary to remove specific apps like Amazon mp3

Sent from your moms eris using XDA app
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
yes the lights will turn off when there is enough light that the phone doesn't think you need them on...it works on my phone like this.

adb remount

adb shell rm system/app/whatever.apk you want to remove.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
For me the soft key lights do not turn off while the screen is on whether at home, outside, in my office building, etc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
thank you dear sir worked like a charm
[Droid Eris Android Development] juicy.cook:
Anyone notice that the data connection never goes dormant? I know with the 2.1 ROMs there is the 1x with a d below it when the internet is dormant. With this ROM is seems that my internet is always on and that my arrows are always flashing (aka, active connection). I know you can turn it off via the APN switch, but it is a whole lot easier for it to do it by itself, while turning off via the APN switch should only be used if you actually need/want to.

I'm wondering if there is a fix for this other than manually turning the data connection off becuase my battery only lasts about 3-4 hours... which is also the estimated time the device will last with a constant data connection.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I would look to see whats actually using that data connection to see where the problem is. The arrows should not be continually blinking to indicate data usage.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
Spare parts works wonders for this. I always turn my data off when I'm not using it anyways. Saves loads of battery life.

[Droid Eris Android Development] juicy.cook:
Would there be any way to narrow this down? I mean, everything that I have installed is the same as what I had installed on any other ROM. So it is not like there is anything new. And the GMail and Facebook sync are set to once an hour, just like I always do. I even have a data counter (it was also installed on the othe ROMs) and I have seen like a 20mb increase in my data whenever I am using it just as much on any other ROM. Maybe it is a Froyo thing? All the other ROMs I have used were 2.1.

I had about 30mb used on my last ROM in 4 days and after 4 days with this ROM I have 55mb used. And my internet habits are pretty regular.

Hm. Also on the power bar, my data has a red bar underneath it opposed to blue... could this have anything to do with anything?

JuiceDefender- greatest app ever. It turns off your 3g when thee screen goes off and then turns it back on when you come out off sleep. it can also do wifi too. It makes my battery last twice as long. And the dev is great.

Providers Name edit

Is there anyway to edit the network provider on the notification bar and the lock screen, maybe edit to my name instead or delete the whole thing. As for the Gallery having the bug when rotating, do I just download the apk from my phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostsync:
JuicePlotter by the same dev is also really useful for figuring out battery issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zwade01:
If you have root explorer, go to /data and long press eri.xml and open as text editor (make sure you're mounted as r/w). Toward the bottom is [eri text = "something in quotes"]. Change what's in the quotes to your liking and reboot.

If you don't have the root explorer app, you can do it via adb. There's a thread in the general forum on how to do it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] helowrenchturn2:
Anyone else having random reboot issues while using navigation?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
actually there is no eri.xml file in /data in this rom. The eri.xml file is compiled into the framework during the build process since this rom is made from source. However if you put an eri.xml file in the data folder then it will override whats in there now. Here is a zip i made to change it to Verizon Wireless. If you would like to make it something else you can take the eri.xml file out of that zip and change it to what you like and then push it to the /data folder on your phone and reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] juicy.cook:
Thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out and report back if it isn't something obvious draining the battery.

Also, I only get 1x data, so I know its not 3g eating up the battery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] morrisdan:
From Market I found EStrongs File Explorer (ES Explorer) which lets you remount the app directory to read/write after setting that preference within the program's settings. You can rename apks to .old so you don't need a computer to do the adb commands. For example if you're not a Facebook person like me you can rename the Facebook.apk to Facebook.apk.old

GPS is not working for me, it gets stuck at searching for GPS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] satdaten:
This has been a problem and I don't know what the fix is, but Skype says that it only works on a Verizon phone when you start it up. So it thinks this ROM is a non-Verizon phone. I've had it working with other ROMs before, so it has to be an issue with the ROM, right?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I put a link to a new google apps package that will resolve the issue of google goggles crashing after taking a pic....just download and flash it if you want to use google goggles...I did not put this together it came from the hero community...

working on flashing 2.1 no wipe as per direction but hanging up on boot screen cycle (yes i flashed the new google apps too) hmmmmmm

edit: restore nandroid. flashing 2.1 and new google fingers crossed..

re-edit: still didnt get past the boot cycle
[Droid Eris Android Development] erispimp:
Just flashed the 2.1 update works great seems faster now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerovertex:
I'm in the same boat. Second time around I wiped cache and then accidentaly turned on signature verification, which I figured couldn't be a bad thing. Well, the gapps-whatever.zip failed verification. I've redownloaded it and will try it again in a few. Just thought I'd let you know what I got.
[Droid Eris Android Development] npong:
I found the led notification in Cyanogen Mod menu, and set it up for green. But do not receive any notifications, anyone have the same problem.

Also I saw a post a while back asking if the rom was already overclocked to 710MHz, was wondering if this is true and so I do not need to install SetCPU

Edit: Is a task manager needed/recommended?
[Droid Eris Android Development] myopicmusician:
I'm a newbie to rooting, but a few days ago successfully rooted my droid eris with froyo 1.9. I was missing the LED notifications and was happy to find this 2.1 update with it working. I searched on instructions on how to do a "no wipe update" and the instructions seemed pretty straight-forward. Boot into recovery and flash the update.zip without wipe? It installed okay but when booting up, I keep getting an acore FC that just cycles. Did I update wrong? I suppose I'll try to wipe and reinstall 1.9 as it was working flawlessly.

Thanks!

Edit: Disregard. Found that the problem was a contact widget causing it. Uninstalled widget and no more FC. Thankfully, I figured it out before I did a wipe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Yes it is overclocked to 710 already however you can use setCPU to set it to 768 but its not THAT much faster so you're ok not installing it. Advanced task manager cleans up a lot
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Just FYI next time whether or not its a wipe/ no wipe boot into recovery go to backup/recovery and do a nandroid (nand backup) it saves more lives than a seatbelt
[Droid Eris Android Development] eldouche:

[Droid Eris Android Development] myopicmusician:
Thank you. Seems like there's so much to learn and I usually have a bad habit of learning things the hard way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I just got my eris upgraded to 2.1 last night.

In 1.9, I could get some functionality out of GPS. The first run would crash Android and then I could run it for as long as I wanted. Running it again after that would put me back to the crash cycle before being able to use it.

I meant to test it without JIT, but didn't get a chance before upgrading to 2.1.

After upgrading to 2.1, I can use GPS for maybe 5 minutes and Android crashes. Guaranteed. Every time. There is no crash it once then get all the use I need out of it like I had with 1.9.

I finally tested if it was JIT causing the problem. This is a negative. This crash happens with any app using GPS with and without JIT.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
yea GPS apps are causing mine to random reboot .... tried using endomondo twice this morning both times the phone went into a reboot after a minute or so
[Droid Eris Android Development] npong:
So I was on 1.9 and skipped 2.0, didnt see a reason to use 2.0, but now I am on 2.1 and when I did the update I have it so google backs up my apps, but none of my apps reloaded.

Secondly I have had to pull my battery some times when I used the camera, what is a good 3rd party app to use if any?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
Did you reinstall the google apps immediately after the update or did you reboot between updating and installing the google apps? It's recommended to install the google apps immediately after update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnnyboy1549:
Is there anyway to change the transparency (alpha setting under the color pallet) in this rom? And does it support metamorph?
[Droid Eris Android Development] npong:
I installed 2.1, started it up and then turned off and installed google apps. Did the whole login to account, let it sync, saw no apps being installed so I restarted then let it sit over night, and no apps loaded. So I ended up manually loading them but I didnt know if anyone else had the same issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Lol no not the notification bar at the top lol MM does work tho
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
yeah definitely a problem with gps...i'm gonna work on that...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
is there any theme we can use MM with or some cyanogen mod setting where we can make the notification top bar clear or at least somewhat transparent? also finally got 2.1 to boot past the animation just had to wipe and flash
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
If you find a metamorph theme with a clear notification bar it would work. I think some launchers have settings to hide the notification bar too. If all else failed you could edit the png yourself and make it clear.

Since you wiped and I didn't is the gps causing reboots for you at all?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
hey conap , i think u and i should combin our roms and only release a rom with just the phone functions internet and everything disabled :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
lol....i would have to make alot of changes to my vendor tree to break everything at once...i prefer to just break one thing at a time....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
i dont really use it but ill turn it on and see

edit: rebooted :|
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Thanks for checking...i found the problem is my libgps.so...i am using the one from stock eris rom so i'm gonna try to compile my own libgps.so and see how that goes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] phree1:
I love the ROM, great work Conap. I think I may have found a small bug (not sure if it's froyo related or something in this ROM).

I have had to take two long phone calls the past two days. About 10 minutes in my phone beeps a few times followed by repeated vibrations (maybe 10 or so).

After I end the call my data does not work. If I go into the settings/wireless/mobile network and uncheck the data box and then recheck it the data returns. It's a simple fix and pretty painless.

I am running a clean wipe of 2.1.

I have no other issues to report. Everything else is working flawlessly for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tjsauber:
Also love this ROM. Have been running it daily for a few weeks now. I noticed this issue today. It seemed as if the phone dropped the call, bars dropped to zero, vibrate, then the call was back but no data until I took the same steps as above. No other issues yet! Overclocked to 806 MHz And good battery life.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Ok guys I don't make calls so I haven't run into this but I'll look into it...thanks for the feedback....
[Droid Eris Android Development] MacShannon:
Conap I was wondering if you've ever experienced problems with battery life after performing a battery stats wipe? I've been talking to a few others about this who have been having the issue as well but after performing my first battery stats wipe about a week back my battery life has been cut in half. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I have never done a battery wipe myself....even if I have battery issues after a new flash it usually seems to calibrate itself out over a few days....I have read that some people say wipe stats when battery is full and read other people say wipe stats when battery is dead so maybe you didn't wipe it the right way....just a thought though cause i've never really looked into it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tburns:
This also happens with koasfroyo as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MacShannon:
Well I wasn't sure which was the right way to do it either so I actually tried both and it didn't seem to make a difference I still have terrible battery life.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ncwildcat:
Is there a GPS fix? I installed this on my wife's eris and gps crashes the phone every time she tries to use it - which is a lot...

She is running 1.9, and I am going to upgrade her to 2.1, and I have read that others have also had GPS probs, so I want to be sure it works
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
i dont make many calls either and most of the time for me it just switches between 1x and 3g but sometimes its just the bars but it comes back on its own at least for me no reboot is necessary
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I had better luck with GPS on 1.9. The phone would crash once and then, once rebooted, would work fine with GPS for a while (as in over an hour). Of course, YMMV.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
well if you read the last page u can see that Conap acknowledge the GPS problem hes working on libs
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I haven't had any problems with calls, personally, and I have used it for a longer call since upgrading to 2.1 (it was 45 mins or so long).

I've noticed it showing just bars as well and I've wondered if this was a display bug because I would still be able to use a data connection most of the time. Sometimes, though, it'd tell me that there was no data connection.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
I am aware of this. I was just trying to help the guy out until there's an actual fix. Are we not allowed to do this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
lol yeah thats happened to me too where it says....this requires a working data connection but doesnt last long usually lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
i was trying to point that out to BOTH of you :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] ncwildcat:
Thanks - I read through the posts, but completely missed the libGPS portion of Conap's post. No reason to be rude at all
[Droid Eris Android Development] MacShannon:
Lol if you wanna see rude check out the KaosFroyo thread :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
i wasnt being rude merely pointing out Conap already acknowledged the problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] tekomie:
Here is my method (hope it helps somone)

OK.First Post..lol... I've never flashed a Custom Rom before.. until now..With 1.9 I had a friend of mine assist me through the process.. 2.1 I did on my own. I did not do a complete wipe but flashed over 1.9, then downloaded the G apps.zip and flashed recovered that (Prior to rebooting completely)using Rom Manager (reboot into recovery). Once installed I rebooted and waited... Battery life was draining rapidly at first. SO I let it drain down to 4%. During the drain, I uninstalled all the nonessential (for me) .apks, using Titanium backup. Live-wallpapers, twitter, Email (NOT native gmail) ADW launcher,browser.2.2. Then set my Overclock to 749 and charged the battery. Rebooted once the battery was full.... And now everything seems to be working very fluid, and on point with strong battery life. made long phone call w/no issues (40 min).. haven't tried the GPS. Will wait for our Chef. :) Thank you so very much Conap. Its time for me to play catch up to all you experienced peoples. Maybe this will help someone? :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
sorry if someone already asked this but im running this rom and i did not have problems with text msgs till today cause i had to re flash the rom after reflash i could no longer receive msgs i could send them but i would not get them any more. got any leads on how to fix this please
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Why did you have to reflash? That may be your problem you should have created a nandroid so if you just reflashed that you probably wouldn't have these problems...however as has been stated many times all over xda try wiping data and dalvik and reflash also you need to flash the new google apps there's a link for the new one in the first post
