Back with my mini report. v26 with BFS 6 seems to be kicking butt. I did have a FC on my LastFM once when I pulled the plug from the jack, but whatever. I know BFS is better performance for people who don't tweak, but also less stable than CFS, so I kind of expected maybe something here or there. But who knows, Last.FM was never the greatest running app in the world.

So far though, it's been SOLID. Great phone performance, call performance, and music performance. Battery life doesn't seem too bad either, but it isn't a CFS 8 performer for battery life.

Great work as always Tazz. This ROM will likely live on in my Eris until I can finally get what you got...lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
What's that? A destroyed back or a droid x? Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
everything is awesome in v26. but for some strange reason the nytimes app is missing again from my market. i dont get it. ill get by without it but i just dont understand if its just me or maybe they have something wrong with the app
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Majorpay, what is the laptop number and version for the kernel on your phone? I just want to be sure my flash took. I keep forgetting to write down the kernel number with the matching version.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
So does the v6 kernel fix the skipping? I don't understand y its not doing it for me but id like to fix it for u guys.. I guess I have a case of the perfect phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
I just flashed v26 this morning and it is better but not fully gone. I shut the gov off as well and it still skips a little.
[Droid Eris Android Development] danshanable:
BFS v6 fixed the skipping for me. Haven't tried Pandora yet but the music player plays beautifully.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidrage2010:
Lovin v26

Just wanted to take a sec and say that v26 has been amazing. I've been running Tazz roms since v8.. sometimes notice little differences between them, sometimes can't tell a difference. But v26 is FAST. Battery life has been great. I may never update again.. :)

Added a little to the coffee fund this morning.. Thanks again Tazz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
thank you :) if u have music issues like some people have ,, try flashing the v6 kernel ,, id hate to drop down the kernel cuz it seems to be the best ,, but if enough people say it fixes it ill have to change it
[Droid Eris Android Development] haggisman14:
Hey guys, I've been reading on the forums for a while, and I've decided I want to flash tazzfroyo. I have a few questions though, I've been looking for install directions, but can't find any. I'm running a MAC at home, so I'm not sure if this would make things more difficult.

I do however have a card reader that I can pop out and place files anywhere I need to.

I know that before I do anything, I need to flash anons recovery so I can do a nandroid backup and keep that on my SD card, hut from there inc not exactly sure where to go. If there is a FAQ or YouTube tutorial that I missed is appreciate it I you could point me in the right direction.

All you guys here are really impressive and I love all the great apps and ROMS you keep putting out!

Marc
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i dont use a mac but if u can put the rom on ur card ur good to go ,,,just place it on ur card and flash into recovery ,, make sure u do a nand back up first,, if thats what ur asking?
[Droid Eris Android Development] WebKaiser:
I have downloaded it and am backing everything up. Once the new version comes out with the market fix, I will do it again. Then I will have all my apps backed up!

Thanks.

Does anybody notice the high % being used for Display. I have my display set so low, it's hard to see it. Auto is unchecked.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bill.mahoney:
My trackball isn't lit up at all anymore, n what I meant by color change is my friend has a rooted nexus running cyanogen n his ball glows red blue green etc for different notifications. Any reason u think my phone would be running slower? Maybe I should turn off the dither.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinpin890:
okay thanks...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea turn off dither as far as the different clors , ithink thats a nexus thing
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
This is exactly what you want. Keep in mind this is percentage of battery use, not percentage of the day. If your percentage of battery usage is high on display then that just means your other apps/ cell tower roaming/wifi/camera/etc arent constantly using the battery in the background which is good. Dont need to set it so low. Around 40% should be fine for good battery life.

Trackball lighting is being worked on. It has worked in some verisons to an extent but has been a problem with FROYO roms. The substitute has been the led notification. As far as colors go eris has only white on the trackball. Nexus built in unused colors in the trackball that devs have been able to access. The hardware is just not there for eris.

You defiantly should wipe dalvik and factory when coming from another rom. The google apps link is on the first post of this thread. Scroll down some. Thats ok my english sucks too and Im from here.:D

Think you already got the answer here but market is fixed but not released yet. I would guess by tonight but Im not Tazz. If you need the market to be fixed then I would suggest flashing v3 which works great until he releases the fix. Then you can just do a flash over of his update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MacShannon:
If its been said before then my apologies but I've been having this weird bug where if I click the first thread in the stock SMS app it opens up whatever the bottom one is. Occurs probably 4 or 5 times a day any idea why that would happen? I'm using v4 by the way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BlazinDANDAMAN:
Didn't know if this was a known issue. But, I can't get Handcent in the Market, and when I install the APK I got all it does is FC...a fix or just a known issue in this ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
first ive heard of this , i cant check but does anyone else have tis problem ?

i need to know so i can check it out ,, i dont wanna release anything til i know ive tried to fix everything atleast
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
I've had no problems with the stock mms
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok question

ok to prevent flooding of thiis thread about trackball light goin crazy while getting messseges

heres the deal to get led light not to stay on heres the deal

Led does not stay on.

Trackball flashed for notifications. Trackball will get stuck on if you get a notification while the phone is asleep. Using notiled app from the market will turn it off for now.

is downloadin an extra app to fix this a problem ? if so ill leave it as is till another fix for the light led , is done ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
I must be lucky, i've not had the led problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
it dont stick ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] asmith1106:
NOTI LED is easy enuf to use. If you have trackball notifications working (which it sounds like but I might have read it wrong) leave em in!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yes the dev who gave it to me says it is fixed ,, again me myself cant check it

edit' it was checked and does work but that is the issue u will need that app
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
So far my LED hasn't "stuck" but i have only been using it since last nite...
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
actually Tazz I've never had any problems with the led with your roms.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok then the track ball notifications will work ,but will have that issue and will need the fix to stop the trackball light from going crazy
[Droid Eris Android Development] loki154:
lol wait i'm confused. Do you want me to try the trackball fix and see if both work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok alot of people the red light stays on and track ball light dont work ,, so , this fix is to shut off the red light , and so u can get notification light to work on the track ball ,

edit man this back fired i shoulda released it then delt with it hahaha
[Droid Eris Android Development] soonbaek:
Perhaps its Apps2SD feature? I think Pandora skipping is improved (not gone but improved) when I moved the Pandora from SD card to the main phone memory. Just a thought.

Nevermind - its back. Must be something else :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
the thing of it is ,, is that its not doing it for me :confused: thats y i asked about another kernel
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Having sound problems. Very very high pitched noise... didn't have this problem before.

Help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
high pitch noise?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Yup. Any time my phone makes a noise (Alarm, ringtone) there's a high pitched whine... really really loud. Makes my alarm 10x effective lol but it kills pandora.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Took the time to actually check DSPManager. Naturally something had gotten screwed up there (probably my thumb slipped lol) but it's all fixed now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
try v6 kernel bro and see what happens
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
Well, I think I'll take the latter. The former doesn't sound like a fun deal (even though I could technically work from home with this job).

Kernel 2.6.29.6 (DecaFuct Dirty - 153d9e7a)

Vanilla Tazz 26 - FRG83D

If you want my semi-educated, unprofessional opinion, I would say it was the governor added in version 8 of his kernel. The thought was to gain battery life, but it affects media performance badly.

As far as you not having it? Maybe you have some awesome app that supersedes his stock governor. I'm just guessing on that one, because I know SetCPU didn't seem to rectify the situation.
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
The other possibility with you not having it is that perhaps the governor is giving more CPU on demand resources to core phone functionality (i.e. syncing, updates, etc) that you don't have on your phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i have nuthing on my phone bro , just the basics ,, this isnt my dailey rom so i just download things to it to test
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
Couldn't tell you then, other than the lack of phone functionality being the culprit. v6 is pretty solid at this point though. I'd pass the info back to Conap so he can work on figuring out the source of the issue (which I suspect is the governor).

[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
are you using bfs or cfs? Mine is at dirty - cd76c7c1 laptop # 20
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I went with the BFS. - Dirty 153d9e7a - #19
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Oh ya,,,, you posted the link... I forgot. I think I might try it as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
did u try v9?
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
There are small skips in v9 in almost regular intervals. To add to that, there appears to be a noticeable / significant performance drop from v6 BFS to CFS v9.
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I should add that after being up for a while, it does stabilize a little and gets faster, until the screen turns off, then we start with the slight skipping again. Even using the standard player, there are little blips here and there, although they are less frequent as the unit has been powered on for some time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
id just like to know whats going on ,, i just tried 3 music apps and non skip for me :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I think it may coincide with the phone accessing the 3g network, because it becomes more intermittent and unpredictable as time goes on.

Heck, it may even coincide with my widgets syncing. Maybe the clock, the weather widget, and facebook?
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I can also attest to the fact that whenever I press a button, or wake the phone up, or put it to sleep, or hit a menu, it causes the skip. But BFS v6 had none of these issues?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
I had tried V9 on your last rom and it was skipping as well. I never tried it on this one. I just loaded the BFS v6 instead of CFS and it is 100% better for this issue!
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
But on that note, these two items are prime suspects as they are the significant changes from v8+ :

I'd like to believe this one is not to blame:

As enhanced graphics performance sounds like a good thing :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Ya, sometimes you need to give somthing to get somthing....
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
Try using the ondemand option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
It only skips when I press a button...using smartass or ondemand
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
has anyone given it a try with 3g disabled to see if that is why tazz is not getting it on his phone? Im back at v6 or I would try.
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I'm going back to v9 to tweak and see if I can't get either an answer or a solution. I'll report back when I have something.
[Droid Eris Android Development] haggisman14:
Thanks Tazz, just ran a nand backup, and will flash when I get home, I'm excited! Is v26 good to go now, or should I stuck with official 24?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea it is good to go
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I turned on Airplane mode with CFS v9, I noticed a skip whenever I hit any menu button, when the phone dimmed, when the screen turned off, shortly after the screen turned off, then infrequently after that (maybe every 30 seconds or so?). I'm guessing it's whenever any of my widgets do something (like a time change with the clock, or a battery indicator level change, etc.).

So I changed to ADW which had no running applets. It skipped when the screen went off, then a second after that, but the difference was that it only had one or two tiny skips over the course of 3 minutes. I had a feeling that this had to do with locale, so I turned off locale and let it play for another three minutes. Skipping on initial screen off was present, as expected, and a tiny skip here or there every few minutes or so.

This appears to confirm that any sort of interaction with the phone during media playback interrupts the playback process or hinders the media server. I couldn't replicate Tazz's exact situation, but I was able to get closer.

I guess he just has the magical phone, or maybe his sd card is a type 6? I don't know??

As far as I can tell, v9 is just unstable in it's default state when it comes to media.
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
Tazz, are you using the headphone jack? I am...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
no man im not using headset at all i put on the music , it plays screen goes of still plays , no skipping at all

to be honest,, the issues i see u guys have , ive not had one
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
That's likely the difference. First of all it's not playing in stereo, and secondly, I believe it's a different processing path the Eris takes to go through the headphone jack (at least from what I've read, that's the case).
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
give me a minute and ill see
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
Skips for me either way bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
well plugged in headphones and no skipping,, there has to be something affecting it cuz i have no skipping either way
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
Well, I'm out of suggestions at this point. Unless you have an application that negates the governing effects, or are running a different boot loader than me, or have a faster SD card, I have absolutely no explanation as to how you could possibly be any different than the rest of us?
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
All I know is that BFS v6 runs near enough flawless in comparison.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i dunno its says scan disk ultra, 16gig
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
The odd thing is that it was working fine on v24 for me lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
That sounds like a good one. I'll bet it's a class 6 or better. I don't have a class 6 hanging around to test with, otherwise I would. I just have the plain 2gig that came with the phone...:(
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea but nthe only thing that changed was the framework because everyone said they was getting reboots
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Are you getting FC on the keyboard now? I am starting to get them......
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
No, how are you getting the force close? Are you using a third party keyboard?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Nope. Just started happening after I flashed the BFS version 6. I just flashed CFS v6 and it went away but music skipping again....
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
LOL.. where there goes my theory on why CFS was bad on music. Anyhow, I have not had a single force close, and have used the keyboard in the messaging app and the browser.

I'm running v26 Vanilla with BFS v6
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i need to figure something out:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Well it may just be my phone. I know I used cfs v6 before to clear this up and it work until I upgraded to Tazzs newer roms using v8. It is still alot better than v8 and v9. I do not know what the fc are all about on bfs though. It was running great until that happened. I may try reflashing it tonight if the cfs ver sticks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mordant80:
SD shoudn't have anything to do with it.. does the same thing with pandora
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
I think we're getting closer... There are only so many Linux bases to choose from, right? I flashed v26, then BFS6 and it's been S-O-L-I-D. No complaints here.

I understand the frustration. As a developer, I am used to being sent on ghost hunts that irritate the crap out of me :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Napster as well!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
im just gettin pissed off cuz i cant fix it ,,i wish i was haven the issue :confused::mad:
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
Since you're using the same base as most of the other ROMs, I'd imagine they have similar issues, but no one reports it? Someone said this issue has been going on for the past few versions, and that indicates to me that people were just living with it.

As for me, I'm all about the media on the Eris, so I can't "just live with it" ... lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
I did notice it right when conaps v8 came out. I just lived with it cause I have a sirius portable I use mainly.

Tazz..... I can understand your frustration, cause if you can not re create the issue, it makes it real hard to fix. I would send my phone to you if I had a second one!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
no i was told it wasnt doing it on 24, maybe its just the updated nightly :confused: ill update again and see thats all i can do ,, ive gotten pm tell me its not doing it to them and didnt know whats going on , and neither so it ,, funny thing is , is tht its the same framework shed is using and i believe conap
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
Well, I could flash shed's and tell you if it does it there. But I've seen the issue (on a minor scale) by directly flashing v9 onto my phone. If most people don't have the issue, then continue on updating with the latest kernel, and I can continue flashing the BFS over it (it's already on my Flash card anyhow). At this point, the stability and smoothness is pretty wicked the way it is.

I don't feel left out if I have the same ROM and everything works perfectly...lol

This is my main entertainment in my car, so I use the internet radio and media player CONSTANTLY.

Oh yeah, and they don't allow internet music at work, so this is the work-around for that as well...
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Just for comparison..

Im running v26 w/ BFS 6 flashed over it and a class 6 16 gig card and get no skipping. I did get the skips during screen on/off functions before flashing BFS 6. I have had no reboots with this setup also. Dunno what I am sacrificing rolling back to BFS 6 though. Would be nice to know since the music skip only happens when screen on/off function, I could almost live with that if huge benefit to current kernel.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
+1. Not a huge thing for me either. The ROM still kicks a@#. It just be my phone going into hate mode! I will keep trying things for you if you want though to test.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i really am sorry u guys are haven issues , im tryin to figure it out
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Please keep in perspective bro that this is a "troubleshooting session", not a "***** session". We all LOVE!! the ROM/ROMS. You are kicking a$$ under difficult circumstances. Just trying to give as much input as I can to help you troubleshoot. I believe, as it seems does others, that this is a kernel issue and not a ROM issue, in which case there is nothing you can probably do to "fix it".

Dont stress and keep on doing your thang.:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
Hey don't want to jump in with an off topic...but v26 failed to sync any market apps. Anyone else see this? Hope I'm not bringing something up from 15 pages back...search sucks on tappatalk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Mine synced fine. My wife's missed a couple but I believe that's cause she didn't leave it alone long enough to complete the restore process.
[Droid Eris Android Development] majorpay:
+1... Yep, just feedback and standard troubleshooting. I'm just going through the steps to help test, not because I care which kernel I use.

I'm not discontented with what I have in the least.

Actually, at this second, even with the BFS v6, I think I have the most stable ROM I've EVER had.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I had no problems with sync on V26. 52 apps successfully restored.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RubberDucker:
Performance settings in V26?

Been a while since I messed with these settings.

What are the recommended Performance settings under CyanogenMod settings for V26?

Use JIT : On or off?

Surface Dithering?

Lock Home?

Lock Messaging app?

VM heap size ?

Compcache : Disable, 10%, 18%, 26%?

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
I had none sync at all.

Gonna try a reflash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
Yea these are possible reasons
[Droid Eris Android Development] harrycjr:
My GPS tracks are back to accurate with v26! I went running this morning around 6am and the distance, pace, and map were all right on! The skipping thing is pretty minor. I didn't event notice until I read it in the forums first. I listen to Audible books and several podcasts and it's a pretty minor issue. I'm not even sure it is really caused by the phone or if it's podcast I'm listening to. It seems pretty normal to me for the quality of the recordings I listen to. I didn't notice it when using the Audible.com app.

Just tipped you a few $$ a moment ago. Probably not enough for the time and effort you put into this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Yea im trying to fix the skipping.. if. U look a few posts u will see a possible fix ... as far as what u donated .. it whatever u gave is more then enough u enjoying my rom is good enough for :D
