This ROM is nice! I just flashed this one the other day in hopes to learn how to theme with little to no restrictions, it's been fun so far...I'm a noobie

I have a couple questions though...

1) The only way I've been able to use mp3's as ringtones is to first apply the mp3 as phone ring tone, then it lists the mp3 when I go to contacts, so I can choose seperate tones/mp3s for each contact, is there a better way to do this? (e.g. open music player, play song, choose "set as ringtone", then go to contacts, choose contact, choose custom ringtone, and select mp3 that is now listed with other ringtones)

2) I can't seem to get a custom keyboard to work for me, I've tried the online kitchen with the HTC_IME MOD but I either get force close or it doesn't pop up

3) I can't seem to get weather updates on the widget, it just says "no data available" but if I change it from "determine my location" to typing in my actual location, it works...any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
1. I haven't used this ROM in a while, but on every ROM that I have tried, putting MP3s that I want to use as ringtones in a folder anywhere on the SD card called "ringtones" and notifications in a folder called "notifications" makes them available in those lists. I actually have them organized in a folder structure /media/audio/ringtones and /media/audio/notifications, but they don't have to be that way - just /notifications and /ringtones on the SD card should work. Try that.

2. Did you also install the clicker.apk that comes with the HTC_IME? It's required for ROMs that are not based on the HTC framework.
[Droid Eris Android Development] KamikazeChris:
I'll have to try that file structure and see what I get, as for the clicker.apk, I installed that one as well, I followed the instructions to a tee as far as I know. I installed both .apk files, chose IME MOD in lang/key settings and did long press and chose IME for keyboard, but when I did that, the stock keyboard disappeared and nothing would pop up, on another attempt, I installed the IME.apk file in system/app and it just kept giving me a non stop force close, and after that, when I would long press to choose the other keyboard, under android keyboard listing, there was a phone space running low warning and I hadn't done anything but mess with the keyboard

Wireless Tether Problem?

Is anyone else having a problem with wireless tether, where it'll randomly disconnect?

scenario: comp is connected, will be surfing the net or maybe sitting and reading, then try to navigate to another page and it'll give me an "explorer can't load page" if I click repair on the wireless on the comp, it'll reconnect and work again, sometimes it happens a lot, other times it'll happen every 15-20 mins.

It's on the phone side for sure, as it does the same thing on my moms laptop as well.

I thought it might have been the battery tweak turning it off, but I never ran that script, and default is non active, plus my phone is fully charged and plugged in, while using wireless tether.

Thoughts, suggestions? Did I miss something? Sorry if I did.
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Have you reflashed the ROM or tried to reinstall the app?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Many of us have discussed trying to get around tethering problems in the past. The best tethering experience I had was using CyanogenMod 6.1's (various CM-based Froyo ROMs) built-in tethering. Not trying to get you away from a zach.xtr ROM, just letting you know my personal experience.

The main reason I liked it better, however, was mainly because it connected so fast versus the Tether for Root apps, so that when it had a problem it was fast to disconnect it and reconnect it. It might've been slowed down somewhat by my trying to perform voodoo every time tethering had a problem by restoring the stock APN each time, but it was still faster overall.

It was also during using CM6.1 that I lucked out and for a full week I didn't have one problem whatsoever, and that's with many gigabytes of downloading going on. In retrospect I think that was as random as the problems that happen more often.

Good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jerryrp:
Great Job. This is blazing fast. Thanks for this ROM...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i personally credit zach.xtr for that... however, i have a feeling he worked "offline" to achieve some of this.

there is this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7983538&postcount=1179 which references it :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I tried this today and I think it's great. I had a restart while I was setting up Google Voice, but otherwise it seemed pretty solid. I've gone back to KF for now, but when this is out of beta I'm planning to give it a whirl for a while.

Thanks, Zach and Tenzo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wholewheatbread:
Thanks guys for your combined creative ideas! I look forward to testing it out (when I get out of work ;) )
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Thanks :o

The full thread where nfinitefx45 implemented the same concept (total different code base) is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731951...

On another note I see this coming out of beta fairly soon :D! tenzomonk and I both like to offer tested stable ROMs and ALOT of new code, lib files, and concepts are boiled into this one so we tought it worth a "beta" release first...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
I'm loving this ROM so Far, I know that there's a few issues or what not (thats why its called a Beta I guess :eek: ), but its super super fast and I'm willing give up in a few things, things that u guys are probablly working on Im sure, and try this ROM.

Again thanks guys, and keep up the good work !! :D;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Please let us specifically now the issues...

I have learned (again and again) that not all Eris's are equal and a list of what did not work for you will help us make this better for all :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
This rom is insanely fast. Even the froyo roms can't keep up with this one, imo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Flashed this morning. Seems really really good. Thanks to both of you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
Well at least on my end the only thing that I "might" complaint about is the track ball fashing only once for text messeges, but is not a big issue for me since I can have the LED notification instead , but that's about it, for now :) , so far no random reboots or anything like that, :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] richiea19:
My auto brightness isn't working.

****, this is fast. Brightness is the only issue I have had. Tried re-flashing, wiping, etc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
Actually, my phone keeps pulsing the trackball, may be just my phone but it works. I have the pulse trackball while screen on and maybe that's it, idk.... But the trackball doesn't actually pulse while the screen is on. So try it that option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
I hope that made sense haha.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
Good because once it has lwp then this will literally be the perfect ROM for me. Thank you for your work bro :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
Zach and Tenzo,

I flashed the ROM today using the same SD card my 2.2 ROMs are on (obviously not partitioned). My thinking was that since this ROM didn't need a partitioned card I could use the same card. This is what I experienced:

. Could not restore any files from Ti Backup

. Could not get the Market to reinstall many of the apps

. The ROM was running well other than that

My guess is that Ti Backup was done from a 2.2 ROM and maybe that is what messed the Market up as well. I plan on flashing this tomorrow from my 2.1 SD card (where I have my 2.1 ROMs that need a partitioned card). If you think of something you want me to try let me know.

Cary
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
I did exactly the same and everything worked just fine from Titanium restore done from Kaos Froyo. However, I only restored user apps+data - I did not restore any system data (and that includes Google Voice - I did not restore that.) Also, when you first run Titanium, there is a button on the bottom that says "Problems?"; click that and it will install the latest Busybox. I did that, and it did install a later version.

Perhaps one or both of those caused your issues?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
exactly! Froyo may win the "sexy" award... but... ;)

yes, that is one of the issues i hope to get worked out soon. zach.xtr and i have been working on this together for almost a month!!! and i've been at it for over 2!!! tried to get as much of the "bugs" out as possible... and we are VERY close. this was "worthy" of a release, as usually, most user don't even like the auto-brightness! however, i do want to get it all wrapped up and working "right."

hopefully i'll get that all worked out this weekend :)

were you using the apps2sd option in the froyo ROMs? i have a feeling that would be the issue (froyo using a different structure, if you will, for that... so i could see that being an issue).

i will flash a froyo/cm6 ROM here this weekend and test to see what's going on. is there a ROM that you've used more than other (2.2)... i'd like to "match" as closely as possible if i can.

also, did any apps from TI work? or none?
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I should have given more info, I did load the new BusyBox and only tried to restore user apps. Since it all worked for you, I should probably go back, reflash, and try this all again. Thanks for the info. I'll update later or tomorrow when I get a chance to do this again.

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
ahhh, excellent! thanks for the reply/help!

please keep us posted! if you don't have any success, let me know... and i'll do a little testing myself :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
I can't get over how fast this ROM is!

Also, what are the stock icons from? Never seen them before.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
pulled directly from the latest 2.1 AOSP build (pulled using gnarlyc's Android Builder). though, music and camera are "older" (newer versions caused a few issues... maybe in a later update)

and thanks... SPEED is the key. well, speed and STABILITY! i've been running this in Beta form for quite a while now. and i've had NO stability issues at all!

in fact, even in it's current form, i hardly consider this a Beta :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Words cannot express how much this ROM astounds me. Everything is almost instantaneous.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
thank you! zach.xtr and i are both very happy with this... and it's what we've both pretty much wanted from the start!

if you go into spareparts and turn off (or set to fast) your Window and Transition animations... you'll really watch this thing fly!!!

enjoy... and please let us know if you run into any issues!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Thanks for the tip.

So, how exactly did you make this so fast??
[Droid Eris Android Development] avtomat:
Just to let you know, I moved from KF to this ROM today, and couldn't restore any of my backups I had made just before the flash. When I went into TB to look at my backups, all of my newest backups consisted of only the data, thus the apps weren't being restored. Why only the data was backed up I have no idea. I restored my KF nand backup and re-ran TB again and checked to make sure everything was backed up properly and that time it worked. Reflashed Vanilla 2.0 and was able to restore everything.

Tenzo/zach: The only thing weird I've really noticed not mentioned by anyone else is that when downloading a file via browser (I use XScope) it errors out on me. The error message flashes by so quick I can't tell what it says other than it mentioned something about the file not being able to be created and some mention about java.something. I know, real specific on my part, right? Haha.

Anyways, great ROM and I think I'm keeping this as my everyday ROM, coming from TaintedTenzo and then KaosFroyo. This is way faster than KF. I never had much luck in not getting lag in any of the Froyo ROMs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
memory management... praying? lol... a "pure" 2.1 ROM should be this fast... and since it's stripped of anything "extra" ... you are getting the "best" 2.1 experience us Eris users have had. i had a "beta" out to a few users a couple of months ago... and it was fast then. zach.xtr took it a step further, and helped really tweak this thing! this ROM also includes Conap's/Dec's latest BFS kernel... the "further" speed is mainly attributed to that!

doogald posted a few back how he had success with restoring with Titanium. i've actually never used Titanium, so i'm probably not the best resource... but, since this seems to be something that could be an issue, i'll flash a couple different 2.2 ROMs this weekend and test.

as for the downloading error... is this for ANY file? or something specific? maybe you can try again and pull a logcat and post? if you aren't familiar with ddms... you can install this file, then email the log to yourself, then post up for me.

[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
This is basically a perfect ROM. I can't get over it. Amazing work. I've had one random reboot upon receiving a call, but this was also after setting the setcpu sleep profile governor to "interactive". I set it back to "ondemand" for the sleep profile and haven't had any problems (still using interactive while the phone is awake).
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Ha Tenzo, I was one of those testers. And it has only gotten better from there.

As for the downloading error, whenever I try to download a ROM, I get the error that says the file type is not supported.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
thank you very much!!! it's much appreciated! zach.xtr and i think it's pretty close to perfect as well. within a week or so, it will definitely be "cleaned" up and have just about all the "little" issues worked out. and, while it may not be as "cool" as running a 2.2 ROM... in my personal opinion, this is the fastest thing out there!

ahhh, yes... "interactive" seems to cause some issues. there will be some lag involved when turning wifi/bluetooth on/off if setcpu is set to "interactive." you can read about the lag/interactive issues in the BFS kernel thread. good to hear that you can set to interactive while on, but on-demand while sleeping! very good tip!!!

i had the same error previously when attempting to dl a ROM from multiupload (or any of the others). i'm not sure if that's a bug or not... but i'll load up a couple different ROMs and test and report back. thanks for letting me know!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i got LWP's working... and working GOOD!!! will definitely be in the next release.

want it sooner? shoot me a PM with an email addy ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
I do know that I can get it to download using xScope, just not the default browser
[Droid Eris Android Development] emerica243:
Does this come with Flash 10 like XTRRom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Unfortunately no...

current AOSP builds do not have support for flash... I am sure this is something tenzomonk and I will be looking into though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
NICE WORK!
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
I am coming off of Nonsensikal Blue (latest version). None of my Ti Backup restores worked. BUT, I also had used My BackupPro, and those backups work. And Ti Backup recognizes the apps from the My BackupPro restore.

I had also rewiped and reflashed a couple of times to try different methods.

Please let me know what your testing finds and if I spot any further information to help, I will post it.

Thanks,

Cary
[Droid Eris Android Development] avtomat:
Tenzo, there's no problem as far as I can tell with Titanium and Vanilla, it was within KaosFroyo that the backups messed up. I was just trying to let caleris know what my issue was as that may have been why he couldn't restore his backups.

As for the downloading I tried to download an .apk, a .zip and a .rar. I got the error with all three. I thought maybe it might have been with the restored backup of xScope from my Titanium backup, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it appears to be working for the time being. If it happens again I'll post the logcat for you. Thanks again to the both of you for the fast ROM. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jqlynch:
I downloaded the ZIP, wiped/dalvik/sd, flashed, and stalled out at the three droids on skateboards screen for over 20 minutes. I pulled the battery, wiped all three, tried again, same result.

Re-downloaded the zip, verified md5sum, copied it to the sd card, wiped all three, same result. I'm out of ideas at this point; can anyone offer anything else to try?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Can you get a logcat and post...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jqlynch:
logcat attached.

thanks

EDIT -- Never mind; sorry. It's not the ROM, it's my phone. I can't OC above 604800. I had to remount the system partition as rw and edit /system/etc/usersettings/conf/cpu_scaling_max_value. I set it to 604800 and now I'm booting fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Matt Devo:
so what's the benefit to running a 2.1 ASOP ROM like this, versus any of the 2.2 ASOP/CM6 based ones?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
for those having issues downloading with stock browser...

per android-dls.com

Download Crutch

An application has been added to the market that will allow you to download any file. I have tested it with a .zip file and it worked great. The app name is Download Crutch. Find it on the market if you need to download any non working file extension.

Astro File Manager

In edition to Download Crutch there is another free market app that addresses this isue. Astro file manager will enable the browser to download all file types. Astro is one of the highest rated and most popular file managers in the Android Market. To allow the browser to download all file types using Astro, download and open Astro File Manager. Then press menu, select more, then Preferences , then at the bottom of the list select the box marked Enable All File Types in Browser. In my experience, Astro is a good way to solve this issue as it is a very good file manager in addition to enhancing the browsers functionality.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
it's really a matter of preference, i'd say.

that being said, i truly believe that this ROM is a little more "polished" than the 2.2 ROMs (even if it is a "beta"). IMHO, it's a "bit" faster too ;)

i'd say the 2.2 ROMs will eventually be all the biz for most of us here... and once kaos, conap, etc, get everything solid, and CM6 builds are final, they will probably be the way to go (features, etc).

2.1 has been "final" for a while now... and everything in this ROM pretty much just "works." zach.xtr's script implementation took the speed to the next level, and freed up TONS of internal storage space (more than i've seen on any ROM ever).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'd say sometime tonight, tomorrow, there will be another release up ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
tenzo and zach, great rom! i a trying this out coming from xtr 4.0.6.1. 2 issues that i have sound so far. 1 3d gallery wigs out after playing a video taken with the stock htc camera. haven't tried recording and playing a video with new cam yet. this is not a big deal for me. 2 and a bigger deal is that the rom seems to make my music unrecognizable. i have had this problem with 2.2 roms and it might be from my music coming from windows media player. i was hoping for a solution that didn't involve changing the file type of all my music. anyway keep up the good work. love your roms!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Interesting... I have never seen a phone that does not handel a min of 710 and I am glad you figured it out!

Hmm... I wonder if this is common? I have been default OC the CPU of both xtrROM and xtrSENSE for a while now plus almost ALL of the CyanogenMod ROMs (2.1 and 2.2) are defaulting CPU by default in the ramdisks init.desirec.rc file...

If this IS more common then we should NOT OC by default...

further evidance that there is noted variations in our Eris hardware.
[Droid Eris Android Development] firestrife23:
I'm gonna say this is the fastest ROM hand down, and I'm officially switching over to this ROM for everyday use, and I can live with those minors bugs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i've got another SD with tons of vids on it (from a sense 2.1 ROM). i will test that out in a couple of minutes here.

as for the audio... i'm not sure... i have a 16gb card with about 6gb of music on it. not any issues with music yet (i've played quite a lot). what are you encoding the files from WMP to? mp3's? i've personally never used WMP to encode audio files, so i'm not expert there. but definitely willing to help!

thanks! other than auto-brightness... most the other "bugs" will be worked before the weekend is over ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Well the REAL reason is that 2.1 pure ASOP is the

coolest

:cool: :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
If your trying to download from your phone and it says file type not supported on device, there's a quick fix that allows to download anything from phone, get astro file manager from market open it, hit menu on phone, than hit more, than hit preferences,scroll down and check enable browser download. This will allow any content to be downloaded from phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Thanks man! It works like a charm
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
If a market app is setting this we may be able to do this in the ROM...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
i'm stuck at the white screen too.

i'm having same issues. my phone won't oc over 604 either. i may have to do the same thing you did.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
Yep, same here. 2.2 ROMs won't recognize music in .wma format, just tried this one, it won't it either (dang!). Like you, I don't want to have to convert all of my music (around 1300 songs) if I can help it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] avtomat:
I know there is the issue with the auto brightness, but is that also affecting the softkey lights? If not, then my softkeys stay on all the time (didn't notice last night because, well, it was dark) but if they are inter-related, then disregard. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
I will concur that this ROM is an excellent piece of work. I used Titanium Backup to restore apps with no problem whatsoever (just gotta be sure "unknown sources" and "usb debugging" are checked on). I as well had been running a Froyo ROM and found that the Linpack scores were about the same as what I had on Froyo. Quadrant score was only slightly lower than Froyo.

Had to keep in mind that some apps only work on 2.2 so not all the TB backups will work. I keep two sets of backups - one for apps I use on 2.1 and a set for apps I use on 2.2. Also, "Eris Market Fix" resolved the few market issues I had.

The one weird thing I have run into is that for some reason I get an error every time I try to make a nandroid backup of this ROM regardless of whether I attempt it from recovery or via adb. I have no idea why this is.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
I'm pretty sure I can fix the wma / wmv issues. Fix will probably be up tonight
[Droid Eris Android Development] MHotovec:
You'll be my hero forever if you can do that (displacing Zach!) :)
