[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
So will the camera fix be on a new ROM or can that be added with an update of some sort?

Sorry if that is a dopey question, just trying to understand the procees.

Thanks!

BTW- V6 rocks!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
bad pictures but just showin it works
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Damn, you're one step ahead of me! lol

I am downloading the 8/9 nightly build so that I can get this thing put together.

Nice work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
well im not releasing it yet so lol i need to make sure i got things right
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phaded:
I don't use titanium so that isn't the cause of any freezing on my end (if that's what you meant).

Glad to hear about the camera tho! v7 is gonna own!
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
I hear ya. I synced with CM and I am testing now *fingers crossed* :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
If you need testers I'll flash it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea but i get braggin rights lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] mib12890:
same here, if you need tester shoot me a pm. will be more than happy to help out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Damn right you do!! But I get a working camera so that is really all I care about.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hatespawn:
I'm down also. If you need additional testers feel free to hit me up. I'm off work tomorrow too so I'll have plenty of time to play around with it since I'll just be sitting around.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
Cool now I can send dirty pics to the wife lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] xstrider:
Nice. This will hopefully make the barcode scanner work again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i already did:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
I was about to flash v6, but if working camera is coming, I'll wait!!!

waiting.........

waiting.........

waiting.........

Is it ready?

Just kidding.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skraapz27:
To my wife? Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
=p I won't be flashing until V8 probably, V6 is so beast and I'm ok with camera magic. I don't want to do flash anything that might mess with it =p
[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
Ok... You talked me into it. downloading now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RubberDucker:
I agree. V6 is that good! I'm afraid to change anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
V6 is good. I ain't scared... nothing a double wipe and a reflash can't fix. .

Go Tazz!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
I went back to a few 2.1 roms for a few days. I just set everthing back the way I had it on v5. I'm going to flash v6, but hopefully when v7 w/camera comes out it will be just as good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok u talked me outta it :D i wont release the fixed camera:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
Ok. You talked me out of a coffee donation..

Not really. Keep up the great work Tazz..
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Rofl! Quick tell them you're joking before I get knifed! D: D: lmao
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
lol remember they have gps :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phaded:
How do we use the CM nightlies on the Eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
u need to port them
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:

[Droid Eris Android Development] xmradiojunkie:
Thanks Tazz. What is the other launcher named as? Can't seem to find it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
Nightly build, most likely a source dump into his repository.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Launcher pro?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
no i got 8/8 that wasnt released when i got this , ,same thing tho
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
The other launcher was touchwiz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gjmcmanus:
It's like Christmas... going to bed and hoping Santa Tazz leaves v7 update....
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i dunno man im more like the grinch :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] Phaded:
Thanks for nightly info. Was curious as to what it exactly was. Can't wait for v7!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
well hungry man jinxed u guys:p lol no update tonght , wi fi is being a *****
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
You're not using that new busybox are you?

[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
cool ill look man thanx
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Possibly an error in the wlan if you did a direct port of the nightly. I have no problems with wifi but the camera is not perfect yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea , ill deal with it tomorrow thanx again , i should have it up tomorrow
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
Reflashed v6 ...no busy box. All is running smooth as silk. Thank goodness for backups to get me back running in no time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
i cant get any morph themes to stick...any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicken59:
I'm sure you wiped, but did you format your sd card before flashing? That seems to be an important step. Nothing sticks?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sword-:
How do you format the SD Card in boot recovery? I might be missing a step.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
Yeah, it's in the partitions menu.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
I formatted the card the first time I flashed V6. I'm thinking that Busy box was not playing nice, at least on my phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
He is having issues with busybox. Its hit or miss with users. Some it works, some it doesnt. I think he might have it fixed in the next release though from what he told me last.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
Is busybox a requirement ? Seems to work fine without
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Says who ? The SD card is for external storage. It's not even needed for the phone to operate.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Pretty sure that it's installed as part of the core OS or ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
Its required for MetaMorph. Dont know what else it is but if you want to theme it, you need a working version.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
Question about flashing...

SO I flsahed V6, after full wipe and all but flaky things are happening.

Horrible battery life, Exchange account keeps asking for security updates and my Phone keeps reverting back to GSM regardless of how many times I change it to CDMA auto prl...

I want to wipe again figuring something wierd happeded as I have NEVER experienced any of these issues before...

So my question is wipe full again, do i need to wipe my SD card?

If I do how the heck do I get the files back on it to flash ?

Forgive me for sounding dopey, just want to get my phone working properly again without my screwing up even more! :)

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
\

i have no idea what u did but this is the first ive heard of any of this , u shouldnt need to wipe ur card thos :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
I swear i did nothing different than what I did for the other versions :)

I will just wipe and flash and we'll see what happens.

Thanks again for the effort you put into this man, its great!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] edembowski:
Busybox is not part of the OS for Android, but it is widely used in embedded systems all over the place. It provides a boatload of shell commands. If you `ln -s` busybox to one of those commands, it will execute it directly, since it's looking at argv[0] to see how it's called. That's part of what makes it so handy for embedded systems. Lots of tools depend on it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
well once im done fightin with wi fi:confused: ill have v7 out ,ive tried everything includin changin bb :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] whojabacod:
Just a prior to release fyi conap got the camera working *cough*
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i had it workin yesterday who do u think told him or atleast helped him *cough*
[Droid Eris Android Development] whojabacod:
Awesome ********cough
[Droid Eris Android Development] whojabacod:
Just helping to make sure my favorite rom is ahead of or up to date ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
my only problem is it wont connect to ip :confused: ive changed bb and everything else even tried tryin another build prop , still wont connect :confused: i cant release it til i figure it out

but i tell u what ,, if i can get it workin , it seems to be the smoothest yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hatespawn:
That speaks volumes right there....not sure how it could get any smoother than v6 though so that's pretty exciting.:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Me being as inexperienced as I am dl bb the one on the market now to get metamorph to play around with it then kept trying to run mm said I didn't have enuf room in /system so I came on here to ask n sure enuf bb had messed up my wifi so I just erased my sd card after backing it up on my pc and re flashed v6 and gapps n it works fine again
[Droid Eris Android Development] Monkeypuppet:
Hey Tazz. I am not posting to complain or to push in any way. I just figured you might want to know someone else is having the seemingly random rebooting problem. I wiped and did a fresh install to V6 it was up and running for a while and rebooted. After it happened a second time I wiped again and did another fresh install. This morning it did it again.

EDIT: FYI I have not had any problems with previous versions except the well documented ones. This is the first time I have had any unusual issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shawn.irwin:
How does the the 3g/2g toggle work with eris? I never notice any change when I have it turned on. Will it show in the status bar?
[Droid Eris Android Development] whojabacod:
That's amazing. Forgive my brain fart... lp¿
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicken59:
Well yeah that's what I've always thought. At least for Eclair. Froyo is different for some reason and a lot of external apps depend on data stored on the SD card. I'm certainly not a programmer and don't have the time right now to research it.

I wouldn't suggest it if it hadn't worked for me. Formatting the SD card has fixed weird reboots and slow downs on my phone multiple times for multiple roms.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ajavgeek:
Camera in v6

I see v6 there but did not see any download link. Does camera work in stock in V6?.... cant wait to download.... please add the link... :)

Never mind, found the link, Thx
[Droid Eris Android Development] chuck solid:
I can confirm the reboot issue here too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i already know this i am workin on it
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Honestly, if the only issue is the keyboard I say release this version and when the keyboard issue is resolved put it in another version and release that one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I presume you're referring to "HTC_IME" ? If so, you have to use the "low-res" version. I linked to it earlier in this thread or maybe in the "RC1" thread. I'll see if I can find it...

It DOES work. I use it with ZERO issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:

[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Awesome :D Thanks for the quick link. Hopefully this gets everything all cleared up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok ill give it a go thanx
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Oh and I suggest if possible going into spare parts and turning the animations to "fast" as default, gives the whole thing a bit of a quicker feel.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
hey

there has a beeen a family emergency i gotta go , i will release the update tomorrow

i promise ,, need to go now \ peace
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
hope all is well with the family
[Droid Eris Android Development] gpa111:
Ya I use titanium but I couldn't flash the zip from recovery, im assuming since it wasnt signed for 2.2 maybe? It was coming from white widow.

But when the market installed it im assuming it did some things.

works great btw, nice and fast. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Of course! I hope it's nothing too serious and it turns out alright.
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
Yeah Tazz family always come first. Take your time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Even go one step further and turn animations OFF. Navigating menus is INSTANT.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I like the little animations =p Fast is a nice medium for me, makes me feel like it's fast while keeping it pretty. Turning it off might be nice to show off to iphone users though >_> they're always whining that android isn't smooth which is ridiculous lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I'm just calling this ROM CyanoTazz in my sig lol

I still haven't been able to recreat that 460 again. I'm maxing it at 443 on my quadrant =p maybe this next version will help bump me up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
Hungry man was that 443 quadrant @768 OC?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Yeah 443 was at 768mhz, the 460 was probably at 787mhz but I could be wrong I may have had it still at 768mhz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
I just wish i could hit 787
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
There's seriously no difference. 19mhz isn't going to do anything after all... but hitting 806mhz instead of 768mhz, that'll make a little difference.
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
768 is pretty sweet. 806 would be nice but 768 is rock solid.
[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
At 787, I start to freeze up :(

I stay at 245/729 for daily use.
[Droid Eris Android Development] chuck solid:
You the man!

Still the best Froyo flavor out there :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
App2sd question

I had some issues re-downloading my apps on my initial install. Most of my apps said download unsuccessful so I went and changed the default location to internal storage and everything worked fine. I had to then go and manually send each of my apps to the SD card and a large portion of them are apparently copy protected and will not go to SD. The vast majority are not even paid apps. Is this an app issue or something i can change in the rom? Other then that, your work is awesome! Great speed and stability!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Odin2347:
hmmmm so now should we be seeing a working camera in v7? :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Monkeypuppet:
Sweet bro. Great job. Let me know if you want to test any changes. I am a willing test dummy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
How to install this ROM

Dude you and tazz should see a dr about that cough.;)

Ok newcomers... A few issues are there with v6 but they only effect metamorph and a few other small glitches. Overall please note that this is an amazing ROM and runs crazy fast and is full of amazing features. Camera does not work with preview on v6 (fixed on upcoming v7). You do not have to wipe your sdcard to install v6 but it is highly recommended that you do a factory/dalvik wipe install with a clean card to get the best results. I am not smart enough with this crap to explain but it does make some sort of difference to have a freshly formatted sdcard. To do this either put it in your computer, back all the information on the card up to your desktop, right click the card in explorer and select format (quick format should do but full format is even better), fat32, or boot phone to recovery panel and select partition card and choose 0 for both swap and ext, this will format and wipe the card. One note here is that the method that worked best for me and "fully wiped" my card was via the computer vs the recovery panel. I am not 100% sure that the recovery panel does a full format. I am sure someone else smarter on this than I can verify that or not. Once you have a clean card you will need a computer though to load the rom zip and the google apps on the card. Then boot to recovery again, and flash the rom first and google apps next.

There are a few people who are getting the reboot issue, I am sorry to hear this, and know tazz is working his best to figure out what could cause this. I know you are sick of hearing this but I would make sure to try a full clean install at least 2-3 times before giving up. Luckily there are not a ton of these cases.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok heres the deal ,im still workin on this damn wi fi issue , im really startin to believe the issue people are haven has to do with apps that are being installed ,, on every version of this rom , and not once could i recreate a issue , if u could , when ever i get this workin , try running without reinstalling ur apps , i need to see if thats causing it

thanx

me
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
That thought crossed my mind related to the MetaMorph issues I have. I guess there's a good and a bad side to have Google re-download all of our installed apps !!

I think to avoid this, one would have to skip the sign-in step on the Google setup. Do that and see if WiFi, for example, works.

For what it's worth, my WiFi did not break when I installed Ti Backup, nor when I updated it with Ti Backup. It only broke when I downloaded/installed/used the BusyBox installer from stericson (?).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
Same happened with me it was the bb that broke the wifi after I wiped and flashed my nandroid my wifi worked bb gone
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
+1 and I agree with hall also. If you are having problems reflash but don't sign into Google. If you just skip this step it will retain your app info for the next time you sign in. The only problem here is how to get metamorph on you phone without logging into market since you didn't log into Google.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
I did this also. App brain syncs better you can reinstall a few at a time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Odin2347:
i'm on v6 and have no wifi issues whatsoever. i don't get why people need ti backup when you sign into google it downloads your old apps
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Old habits... Until 2.2, Android didn't offer any method of reliably re-downloading previously installed apps (from the Market).

It's handy for saving an app that's no longer available too. Finally, I use it to uninstall (system) apps that I don't want. Remember, it does more than just keep your apps linked to the Market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Before flashing, save the *.apk to your SD card. Restore it using AppBrain, Ti Backup, download it from the author's site...
[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
Sol just format the card....then copy the zip files back and flash after full wipe....

Then can I copy back any pictures, music, etc?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yes , on a side note, NH <-- new hampshire?
[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
Yes, sir it is
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
im a masshole:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
For some reason not all apps are downloaded back ...there are always 6 or so apps that go missing. Unless I'm not backing up properly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok v7 is goin good cept wi fi :confused: its been running all day no shutdown

no reboot no force closes no over heatin not one issue cept wi fi still tryin to fix it im takin a break from it for a few

for the record ,its been sittin for atleast a few hours
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Hey, I've searched a bit but with no luck. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. I want to actually change the PRL like I used to on 2.1 roms using ##778 or ##775. I've tried all the number codes I can think of. Anyone have an idea on this? If I'm just missing it while searching just post a link to where I can find it. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:

[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Thanks, but that's just the regular way to update it. I was talking about changing it to a specific PRL that I manually downloaded. On 2.1 roms with EPST I could dial ##778 and go into Edit Mode and pick the specific PRL file that I wanted to change to.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xmradiojunkie:
How do you clear your google apps settings so the next time i install a fresh froyo rom it DOES NOT install my pevious apps. I would think it would be somewhere in my google account online but I cant find it.

I used the google backup during my first flash of this rom to backup my apps.

I chose not to use it the second time i flashed this rom to get a fresh install with no extra apps and it still downloaded my apps that were backed up to google during my first install.

I use titanium and astro for backing up so I do not need to back them up to google. I would just like to clear that backup history so it is no longer there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] whojabacod:
I'll go ahead and take v7 as is I don't even use what is that wi...........fi............?? :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

I hear ya, I've personaly never had any issues w any of ur roms. Other than the obvious known issues. I vote user error on a lot of issues
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
idk if it helps but when you first flash if you click skip when it asks for your google account and then manually go in enter it and either use app brain or ti it works better that way at least for me
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
Ok. I am running v6 and so far the only problem I have is I don't have the great battery life everyone else talks about. I have done the battery recal but here I am with no GPS wifi Bluetooth etc running and only one short call made and I am down to 80% in 2 hours off the charger. What should I be looking at?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
roadie... when you did the cal, how long did it take to run batt to shut off point?
[Droid Eris Android Development] redhooka:
I haven't had EPST or even diagnostic mode (##3424), which is needed to use EPST (much better than EPST, Google it) work with any 2.2 ROMs.
