[Droid Eris Android Development] trifthen:
Very nice package. I've noticed a few things that aren't critical, and even somewhat amusing.

The load average doesn't work. Any utility that checks will always return 0.00 as the system load. Even /proc/loadavg is all 0's.

The email app is... unstable. Settings are often lost (Try keeping the account color for more than a day, if you have it set up with multiple accounts.) The widget crashes almost exclusively as its only action; constantly shows up on the desktop as "Problem loading..."

The backlight auto setting likes to stop working and revert to dim until manually reactivated. This isn't consistent, however... sometimes a sleep/wake cycle can fix this.

All of the above survive system/dalvik wipes.

On the whole though, I love the 'quiet hours' option, and the fact the back button can be set to hard-kill foreground apps. I just wish you could set long-press duration for this, as I've accidentally killed an app several times.

And Android seems terrible at memory management. I tried running without Auto Killer for a while, and any time my phone got to < 20MB free (I have no clue how that keeps happening, I don't run anything obvious and checked several times with Advanced Task Manager) everything from unlocking the home screen to toggling sound is incredibly laggy.

But you know what? Stock 2.1 was way worse, or should we forget about the "Time Without a signal > 50%" issue? :) All in all, I'm enjoying this and looking forward to the next release, and wondering what 2.3 (Gingerbread) will bring.
[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
android is NOT bad at memory management... in fact its fantastic... ive ditched my autokiller habit and probably wont go back. the way android works is to keep using memory and then gracefully kill off apps in the bg to free up memory.

amount of memory free isnt really a good gauge as to how well the mem is being managed in android
[Droid Eris Android Development] trifthen:
Generally I believe that. It's just that the few times this happened, I checked the free memory and it was < 20, yet Advanced Task Manager said nearly nothing was running. So I restarted Auto Killer and the problem magically went away. Background tasks? Who knows. This was on a phone I'd only been using for a day or two, and I hadn't gotten around to installing many apps yet.

I wouldn't call it bone stock or anything, but there ya go.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
My phone normally show's 90 mb give or take 10 of memory free and i don't run any type of task killer or autokiller....not sure what would make a difference there....
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerocool79346:
Man that would be nice haha. Even on light ROMs like this, I'm lucky to get 50 free.
[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
Conap this rom is the bomb. Super smooth. Not sure if it's the gov/kernel update or the new nightly sync (both probably) but this rom is the first I've used where they keyboard doesn't lag in certain apps.

I removed autokiller earlier today on some nandroid backups I had and noticed an improvement, but in 3.6 its suuuper snappy.

As always excellent work and thanks for the killer double update!
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
Diggin 3.6. I had switched back to 2.1 because all the froyo roms were laggin my phone pretty bad. I'm hoping with these updates I'll be able to stick with this and so far its been running great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Notxok:
I'm speechless after flashing 3.6...
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
i'm flashing right now. really looking forward to 3.6 after reading all these great comments. thanks for all the great work and perpetuating the life of my eris :D

Are you still using the collins tweak Conap? Just curious..

Can't dl this straight to my phone for some reason..
[Droid Eris Android Development] ukjerry:
I say each time that the new version is faster and smoother but this one you really notice a big difference in performance and have to say 3.6 out performs every other rom out there.

Thanks again :-)

this rom ... doesn't suck! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
I saw it mentioned that you can long-press the back key to hard-close the forground app. How do you config this?

Aslo, (just asking so I don't have to start a new Q&A thread), is there an app that let's you configure which apps will rotate? I like auto-rotate on my browser, gallery and camera, but nothing else. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MazinDLX:
Thank you eklipse

Should I put appkiller on here?..

Or is this rom fresh enough?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Settings/applications/development/ and check the box for long press to kill apps....no idea about an app that would do that but if you find one please let us know cause i would like that as well...a good idea for an app dev if there isn't something like that.

I don't use autokiller or an appkiller myself except for if i'm gonna mess with ubuntu or debian i will use advanced task killer to free up as much memory as possible. I think it really come down to personal preference on that issue....
[Droid Eris Android Development] MazinDLX:
Perfect... gonna play around with celb for a bit.. wanted to get the Maximum out of it..

Thanks for all your work.. you brought the eris up to par..
[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
id skip the appkillers...

i just run it exactly how it is by default, no setcpu, no autokiller
[Droid Eris Android Development] swaggerwocky:
Wiped data and davlik before flashing 3.6. Simply outstanding so far. Noticeable performance increase, especially when using the keyboard. I'm going to see how well my phone does without the battery tweak. Thanks for the great work, Conap!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Thanks for the nice feedback guys...it's apreciated. I like the battery tweak and there is nothing wrong with it. It definitely has it's uses especially if you have to tinker. That being said this rom will run nicely as it is with no tweaking needed(if there is such a thing as no tweaking needed lol). If you decide you want to change the governor or cpu I would reccomend using the batt tweak for that. I do use overclock widget sometimes if I need to overclock higher then 710 for testing purposes but I normally run at 710. I really don't see much performance gain going higher other then for benchmarking.....

So I was playing around with titanium backup and uninstalled a few built in apps that I would never use and 3.6 runs even smoother. I can't be sure but I think that News and Weather app is a big memory hog. Please do a nand backup before uninstalling system apps because when I uninstalled twitter I started getting force closes like crazy. You just never know whats important.
[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
Wipe your dalvik after deleting system apps. Running fix_permissions from terminal after will help too

That combo should rid you of fc

I uninstall twitter all the time btw
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
News and Weather or Twitter aren't "system" apps, i.e. core, operating system apps. Sure, they may be installed in /system, but they can safely go. It's like removing "calc.exe" from a Windows installation. No harm... I have been removing those two and more on all custom ROMs I've run.
[Droid Eris Android Development] junk74:
Meh! Email still not working 100%, will keeping spining trying to load new messages. I have to force close and then it loads them, works okay for a few hours but then stalls out eventually. Also noticed the 3d

gallery is a bit flakey again. Outside of those two issues, it's working great. Thanks!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
This ROM just kicks ass. Plain and simple.

I do have one off-the-cuff question for you though. I've noticed that when I am in a call, the screen goes black after a short time (which I don't mind). What's difficult though is that I can't seem to get the screen to come back on while in a call without pressing the end button, which then ends the call.

I enabled wake with trackball in cyanogen settings, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Try the volume-down button or is it a combination of volume-down+call?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dfurr88:
Gave this ROM a shot, loaded fine, but market was gone completely.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BrianKLV:
You have to flash gapps after you flash the rom. There is a link on the first page of the thread underneath the 3.6 download link.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MazinDLX:
Read the opening post... you have to flash Google apps.

Can anyone help? I just flashed this rom after wiping data/factory reset, Dalvik-cache, and SD:ext partition. I get to the unlock screen and the phone is is just black. I have the notification bar and can pull it down and see the notifications. But I have nothing beyond that, just a black screen. Any input? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] amfetamine:
I would wipe and flash again. Maybe redownload.

Or first try wiping and rebooting at the least.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ITJacket:
So, is collin's battery tweak made obsolete with this rom + kernel? Or is it still worth it to use?
[Droid Eris Android Development] morrisdan:
3.6 Running Very Solid

Just for kicks I did a complete wipe before Flashing 3.6. It's running really really good, snappy, and solid. I don't install GApps because I don't want all those apps installed and just manually download the ones I want. Once they're installed the Google Backup services seems to back them up and restore them anytime I do a clean wipe. I never have a problem with Market. I almost got a new phone recently but there is no reason to. The ERIS is the smallest most compact phone out there and runs all this great stuff. Android is pretty amazing. Thanks again Conap for all your great work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
Semi-noob question here...

I've noticed that some apps are missing with v8 roms. Are they not restoring because I need to flash gapps?
[Droid Eris Android Development] eklipze:
If they are google apps like market YouTube gmail etc. Then yes
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerocool79346:
I've got a 100% wake lock from something called UID 10047 (or something close to that) according to Spare Parts, I googled, but I couldn't find anything on it, anyone have any idea what I'm dealing with?
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
No no...non-google apps. Should have clarified.

Just flashing the kernel deleted tweetdeck. The last v8 rom I flashed never synced any downloaded apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
What exactly did you flash? Celb3.6 or just the kernel?
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I'm having issues with Pandora radio when the screen turns off, it usually just skips for a few minutes then stabilizes, but it crashed the phone once. I've read up on the smartass governor, I believe the issue is the automatic reduction of the frequency range when screen off. I don't understand much of the mechanics and dependencies of linux kernels. Sorry if this has already been addressed, I scanned every page in this thread since the release of 3.6, I may have missed it. If I override the smartass governor with collin battery tweak will there be any conflict? Thanks Conap, CELB Froyo is outstanding
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
You can change the governor to whatever works best for you....different governors are good for different things. Also you could raise the low end frequency so the cpu doesn't drop so low when the phone is asleep....
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Thank you, I did consider that, but I don't want the screen off min to be so high all the time, just when I'm listening to music. I did some tweaking before the new governor and for my phone Pandora needs 480 MHz to transition smoothly, but it seems to only be that high during the transition, if I set it lower it will stabilize eventually. I do love the concept of the new governor, though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
At first I flashed v8 over kaos 37. That gave me force closes and deleted tweetdeck.

Then with flashing celb and floyo I had issues with apps not restoring.

Not really a big deal. I'm sure it's something I did and not the rom or kernel's fault.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
When flashing the kernel itself it will cause some issues with apps on sd card becuase the modules will not be running. You can make a script to run at boot to turn the modules on which is what i have done in this rom. You can also just run the commands manually in a terminal or from adb to turn them on but it would have to be done after every reboot.

I occasionally have issues with apps not restoring and i have found that if I cancel one of the downloads in the list then the rest will start. Or open market and pick an app that you didn't previously have and install it and the other apps will start. I think sometimes the market just gets stuck and needs a jumpstart.
[Droid Eris Android Development] icbeer:
I feel like the animations have become a little jerky now in ADW, when you first bring the phone up from sleep. Is there a way to adjust the settings on the new governor?
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
A kernel by Eramux containing the governor was updated the day after Conap released this ROM. Erasmux said it was changed it so that the wake up is faster. check this out xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730471 that's for a different phone though, uh sorry, didn't notice that earlier.
[Droid Eris Android Development] T-Keith:
I am having the same problem with Pandora. How would I go about changing the governor? Is it similar to setCPU? Should I run autokiller or setCPU with this ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
Volume-down + call
[Droid Eris Android Development] icbeer:
While I was checking that link out I saw this over on the Hero forums:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838730

It says they got Flash 10.1 working on the Hero. I gotta see this to believe it. If it works on the Hero than it should be easy to get it to work on the Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Its a sense based froyo rom...i beleive flash 10.1 already works in sense based roms....
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I used collin battery tweak, under customize settings (3) it's, I believe, the second step, it will tell you what governors are available. In set CPU it's the drop down menu below the slide selectors for min max frequency.

This rom is awesome. Great battery life and it's so smooth.

One question though, what scheduler is best to use with the smartass governor on this rom? I'm using deadline and it's working well, but I was wondering if there is a better option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
are you guys running collins batt tweak also or just the rom with smartass????
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I honestly have not tried switching to different ones to see what works but if you want to test them and give your opinion feel free!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
so to change scheduler or speeds would you need to use collin batt tweak or can you do it some other way?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
Will do!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
Ya, I believe the easiest way is to use the battery tweak
[Droid Eris Android Development] DroidHeadNY:
+1 I would like to know also!

Noob to running the collins batt tweak too, I read up on it but I'm still confused as to how to get it going. Basically, dl the script, run the script..... or is there more to it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
I'm running the rom stock (smartass), no battery tweak, no setcpu, no autokill, and it's running super clean.

With mobile data turned off, I get zero battery drain all night while the phone is asleep.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I run it from a terminal emulator

su

batt-cfg

it gives you a bunch of options they're fairly intuitive, customize will walk you through step by step, if any options are unclear Google it.

Sorry, I just reread this, I may have misunderstood your question. To install the tweak flash as you would any ROM, to enable follow as above.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
Alright I tried out the different schedulers throughout the day. Overall there wasn't a big difference in performance, although deadline seems to be just a little snappier for me.

As far as battery life goes I'm not sure which is best, I'll have to do a few days of testing for that haha.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerocool79346:
50% at 18 hours after a light to moderate use day. Extremely impressed, new governor makes a huge difference.

I flashed the 2D gallery over the default 3D one just for the speed improvement, but I noticed that if I try to set a wallpaper through the gallery is crashes and I cant go to the gallery from the camera app. Is there any way to fix this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] oceanminded:
Yo Conap,

I've noticed that if I turn off the CM power widget in the notifications menu, the setting doesn't stick on a reboot. It used to be that simply touching the widget would make it go away, but with the update I have to go into CM settings and enable then disable the widget for it to disappear. Not a big deal, just something I noticed.

Other than that, 3.6 is awesome. Battery life has been killer with the kernel update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Loving the new kernel integration. Very smooth and getting awesome battery life.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
I had a strange thing happen yesterday. Sunday I was recalibrating my battery but I had to leave and didn't have time to fully charge it so I stopped at about 90%. Yesterday I was letting it drain and noticed that I started getting some lag, especially the keyboard, but didn't think much of it. Then my phone got down to around 9% battery left, but again I had to use my phone so I just went to charge it and figured I'd calibrate later this week.

I plugged my phone into the charger and it wouldn't start charging, led kept blinking amber (low battery). So I hooked my phone up to my PC, which I've been using quite a bit lately playing around with theming and it couldn't find the device. Rebooted my pc and phone and still "device not found".

I restored my last NAND, no changes since my last backup, and the PC found my Device with no problems, and charging has been fine.

:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Yeah, some times these little "computers" in our hands aren't perfect... they tend to choke some times from low ram. Any time you have a weird issue like that, just reboot into recovery, Dalvik wipe ONLY and reflash the rom without a data wipe. That will usually clear up any strange issues you're having... because I know this rom is solid :D

NOTE: Some times just re-flashing the gapps package will help, too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] duccicucci:
Weird

I had the same problem as an earlier post. I flashed from Tenzo Froyo-Sense to this rom to try it out. After wiping and flashing both the rom and gapps my phone took forever to reboot then booted to a black screen with only the top drag down bar. I re-wiped everything, reflashed everything, and am now waiting for the phone to completely reboot. One thing i noticed is the very small file size of the rom in comparison to other froyo roms, but i attributed this to the additional flash of the gapps package. If i have any further problems after reboot i will be sure to post. Thanks for the great work!

Edit: Everything now works as far as tested and appears to be a very fast smooth rom. Great work!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
I agree workshed.....rom is very solid. Hopefully it won't happen again, but I'll keep the "wipe Dalvik" trick in mind.

I just figured it was low battery/memory thing going on, just seemed strange a reboot didn't fix it. Oh well....it's fixed now and working great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] duccicucci:
Does anyone know if flashing the adobe 10.1 apk will install a useable flash player with this rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
NO adobe has not release a flash player that our cpu supports. Unless someone hacks it we probably won't get a version released for us on vanilla roms.
