As far as I know, I'm the only one that has issues like this. I was told in another thread that it's a flaw in my particular unit. If more people report this issue, I can post my solution (I'm not an adb wizard, so I kind of stumbled along until I got it right).
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
you will be my hero too, the wma fix would be awesome. thanks tenzo
[Droid Eris Android Development] jqlynch:
I'd be interested to see if that takes care of the problem for you as well. As soon as I remounted as read/write and pushed the updated max_value file and pulled the battery (I was able to do this with adb while it was stuck in the bootloop, thankfully) and powered on again, it took off running while I was watching the logcat that time.

Edit -- some well-deserved praise for Zach and tenzo, because this is a very solid, speedy and remarkably stable (especially for a beta) ROM. Worth the detective work on my part, IMO.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
What a nightmare!! How all my apps got messed up and lost their Market links (as discussed earlier) I am not sure, but maybe going back and forth from 2.1 to 2.2 had something to do with it. I ended up uninstalling all the apps and reinstalling, then did a new Ti Backup and the Market links seem good again.

The ROM is running great, looking forward to the next release as well as xtrSENSE with the new updates.

Of course I'm hesitant to restore one of the 2.2 ROMs, but I should try it to see what happens!!

Great work Zach and Tenzo, thanks to you guys.

Edit: I restored to a 2.2 ROM, checked Ti Backup, all the Market links looked good. Went back to Vanilla, all still looks good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
This rom is really fast, it's ridiculous! I was having GPS issues with 2.2 so I tried this and I'm glad I did, I only miss some of the customization of the CM6 builds but that's irrelevant to the performance and stability of this. Any way for a script that would slow the battery percentage to show on the icon?

Any way awesome work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
might have just been a fluke but did notice that after having my wife call me (we're on a family plan) my phone seemed to stick into 1x mode longer than usual and 3g didnt kick in right away as I tried to browse the net shortly after the phone call. I AM using the newest july radio if that helps ya'll. Other than that its nice to finally see a 2.1 rom that I DON'T need to partition my sd card for
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
would you mind doing a step by step walk through? I'm sure there are others who have similar hardware to our phones and they may benefit from it too. I certainly am no wizard when it comes to adb stuff.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
Have had wife sending me video msgs and they won't play with this Rom or kaos v32 bummer shows first frame and then nothing
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Since this is an issue for multiple folks I think we will make the next release NOT oc by default. .. it will still be very easy for those that want it to run the gscript.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
For the g scripts, does 'Need su' have to be checked

Edit- K thanks zach, I only ask because I have the apps2sd script running but apps are still installing internally.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
If there isn't, you can try Battery Indicator in the market. It puts batt pct in your notification area.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Thanks, I actually use to use that but I like to keep as much memory free as possible but if there isn't a g script that will do that, that app will suffice.
[Droid Eris Android Development] helljack6:
Been using this rom now for a few days. Was uber impressed today when I used google maps/navigation and it tracked to within 10 meters for a 384 mile round trip run.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Well, this is officially the longest I've used any one rom for a long time. I just don't feel the need to change anymore. Still haven't experienced any other random reboots under heavy use.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
very happy to hear that!

i've been at it all weekend... still trying to work out the "little" bugs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jqlynch:
Sure thing. Sorry; I was gone most of the weekend.

Reboot into recovery

adb shell

at the shell prompt, mount the system partition as r/w by entering

mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

exit shell

adb pull /system/etc/usersettings/conf/cpu_scaling_max_value cpu_scaling_max_value

edit the cpu_scaling_max_value file that you just pulled to your local machine to change the current max value to 604800

adb push cpu_scaling_max_value /system/etc/usersettings/conf/cpu_scaling_max_value

Reboot -- should come up fine. Initial boot will still take about 2 or 3 minutes at the skateboard screen before going on to the ANDROID logo, so be patient.

let me know if this doesn't work for you; I re-flashed with the beta ZIP today to go step-by-step to make sure it worked for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Just as an FYI I believe Tenzomonk and I will make the next release NOT overclock by default...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
+1 on that!

also, i'm playing around with the newest under-volted BFS kernel right now...

still having an issue with WMA/WMV :( but, LWP's etc, new kernel-version should be out today sometime :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jqlynch:
Oh, I know -- I saw mention of that earlier. Just fulfilling a request I'd missed over the weekend. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Ah, okay sorry :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] DaveM1:
I flashed this ROM yesterday so far so good. The only thing i have noticed is my trackball does not light or any light on the phone light up for when a "notification" comes in. Is this normal or do i have to flash something else?:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] DaveM1:
Never mind i answered my own question. Didn't read the fine print.lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] wshuman3:
One thing I noticed is that the "Data roaming" option is enabled after flashing the ROM. Is there a way to disable this so that it does not have to be disabled manually after a flash.

Also, have you played with the CFS kernel at all. I think it performs better than the BFS kernel with this ROM.

Thanks, and great ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
One quick question: can you install the 2.0.3 update without wiping data, or is wiping necessary?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
A didn't wipe and is working just fine :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
I've used xtrSENSE, xtrROM, Tainted Tenzo, and now Vanilla. I don't see the speed everyone is talking about. I'm OC'd to 710 and have a ton of free memory (more than any other ROM I've tried) but it still seems laggy when using Gallery 3D and Launcher Pro. There also isn't a way to turn off the data network either. Since I'm not into FB, twitter and all that I never keep it on to save battery and I don't like apps having all that airtime to steal my personal info (I don't trust apps even if they sound benign).

Would the speed issue be because of LP?

I have a bug to report as well. My battery is at 91% and charging but the led is green showing a full charge.

Also, should HTC Sync still work? I thought it was when I was running xtrROM but can't remember. I just know when I connect, Sync isn't an option.

I also can't get all LWP's to stick. I assume this is going to be the same as the xtr rom's as far as what works and what doesn't.

I'll try using Home instead of LP after lunch and see what happens. I'm still more pleased that any of the SENSE based rom's. I just wish someone would come up with a comperable mail widget.

Thanks guys for doing what you do!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
i'll take a look at the data roaming... however, i personally always have my data connect whether roaming or not (and honestly, i've yet to find a "BIG" area where Verizon doesn't have coverage).

as for the Kernel... i've been playing with both. for the time being, i've stuck with the BFS kernel, as i have ZERO problems... even with heavy multi-tasking. not one lock-up, reboot, etc. perhaps we'll have a flashable kernel option moving forward.

the battery indicator will stay green once you hit 90% (though continue to charge). it's the way on the CM5 ROMs as well.

not sure why you are experiencing lag... i use LPB as well... have well over 300 pics, 30 vids, blogger, dropbox, picasa... no lag in gallery for me :( upon first boot, it takes it about 10 seconds to load up all the thumbs... but that's it as far as "slowness" that i have. what exactly are you experiencing? lag coming out of a video or certain gallery? or....

also, this isn't a Sense based ROM (thus, NOT an HTC ROM)... so HTC Sync will most likely not work (i've never used, so i'm not the best resource).

please keep me posted!

edit: as for LWP's... it's really just a hardware issue with the Eris... :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Well a few factors may be in play...

* LP is unlikely the cause...

* First off, not to brag to much, but you are coming from some of the quickest running ROMs to begin with :D so differences will be negligible.

* Gallery 3D is the SLOWEST app for our little Eris hardware as it is the most memory intensive

* If you are not a big multi tasker you can run the set_memory_strict GScript which will help (this is the setting I personally run)

* I am assuming you have JIT turned off... JIT speeds functions up if they are used repeatedly but will actually cause a lag when first firing up

* The CFS kernel "may" be "smoother" and "feel" like it has less lag

* you can also turn off screen animations from Settings>Sound & Display

You can turn off sync using the power Control widget, which is not the same, but will help on this...

Yes
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Also if you have the 2.0.3 version you would want to run the set_cpu_overclock GScript :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Is there any chance that the browser will get multi-touch in a future update? :-) Just curious.
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
Thanks guys. I think the issue with 3D is I'm too impatient. I was commenting on it the first time I ran it and I tried scrolling while the thumbs were loading.

And yes, coming xtrROM nothing seems as fast. However, as much as I like xtrROM and LP I really like the Sense Mail widget which is why I'm back to xtrSENSE. With all the options out there and no other hobby during my lunch hour right now I'll be bouncing back and forth for a while.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
actually, yes! i have a MT browser that works... it's just a little "less" functional i think.

i'll post up an update here soon if you (or anyone) wants to test out :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
here you go...

download... unzip to your androidsdk\tools folder. then...

adb remount

adb push Browser.apk /system/app

adb push libmtwebcore.so /system/lib

adb reboot

after you are back up, you'll have a MT browser :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Awesome, thank you! I will test this out and report any bugs I come across.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Well, after pushing the files, the phone stayed on the boot screen for about 15 minutes before I pulled the battery and went back to my nand backup. I'm not sure why pushing those two files would cause that. I guess I'll just wait until you work it into the rom. Thanks anyway - appreciate the response.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
Was using the Navigation today when the GPS suddenly went out on me, I'm sure you guys will figure this out for the next update :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
Tenzo and Zach,

What is up with this rom? The thread has gone dead. I really enjoyed this rom but have switched back to xtrrom because of 2 issues. 1 the lack of ability to play wma files and 2 the fact that text vids from my wife would not play. Just the first frame and the audio would play. Just wondering if you are still working or have abandoned the rom? Great stuff, keep up the good work! Just wanna know if I should quit checking this thread every few days :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
far from dead... but those are the two issues that are still causing me to flash "new" versions of this ROM multiple times a day ;)

that... and a new version of TT2.1 is uploading right now :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Tough issues to work out in the lib files... :(

Thanks to Tenzomonk for doing the heavy lifting on this ROM! ;)

FYI Tenzomonk I have been running this with LP and the CFS kernel for about half the week and think it might be a little smoother... Will build a version with the new v5 Canop put out and try tomorrow. Also resolved the Contact category issue but using an older version of the Contact.apk file...

How has batter life been for folks?

I had to take a little time to get xtrROM and xtrSENSE up to par :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
+1 on the kernel!

started getting some "laggy" issues after a couple of days with the BFS kernel. have been running/testing with the v5 CFS kernel all day... seems to work great!

we'll have to try to get together sometime this week/weekend :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
gotta say I ran this ROM for an entire weekend , I was on a road trip, I remember unplugging the phone around 10 am Sunday and last minute we decided to spend the night so no charger, and by Monday around 8:30 pm my phone still had 40-30% , so yeah battery life was insane !!!:D I'm really looking foward for this ROM, for now I'm Using xtrSENSE
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
Awesome guys. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to new version.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
Is it Dead ? :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
promise... it's not dead!

still working daily on this... may put out another release soon (with only WMA/WMV and auto-brightness issues remaining).

sorry for the delays... and thanks for being patient!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
Oh noo ! u guys take ur time !! I was just wondering :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] nathanirwin311:
What about video texts? I could never get them to play. It would just show the first frame and then play the audio. Waiting patiently. Love your work :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jeepsdaddy:
Hows this rom compared to cognition?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
that's a tough one. the 3gp video text issue seems to affect ALL ROMS that use a Vanilla MMS. in fact, i've "updated" a version of TT2.1 because of this (with HTC MMS). there seems to be a "fix" out there... and i'm waiting to hear from some Devs (other phones) to see if i can figure that out for all of us!

i'm not familiar with cognition...
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
How about the ability to uninstall some of the bloat? Such as....

Corporate calendar

Dev Tools

Facebook

Google Talk

Google Voice

Quick Boot

Or don't include them at all.

What about an option for a black status bar?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
You can uninstall that stuff on your own via Root Explorer or ADB. If you don't already know the commands for ADB, here they are:

adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
cd /system/app

Use

ls

once in /system/app to list all the files, and

rm *filename

to get rid of the desired application

For instance, corporate calendar would be the following:

rm CorCAL.apk
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
Do I just delete the APK files in Root explorer once the ROM is installed?

Can I used Android Commander to do this?

Thanks for the code but I've never done that stuff before. Do I need AndroidSDK to perform those commands?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Yeah, you delete the files after you've installed the ROM and your phone has booted into it.

I'm not familiar with Android Commander, but that should work since you need root access to use it. If you're comfortable with AC, then I'd recommend that. Remember, all the files you want to delete are in the directory /system/app.

You do need the SDK for ADB. I'm guessing you already have the SDK if you're using Android Commander. However, to directly access ADB, you need to open a command line. Assuming you're using Windows, that would be the DOS command line. For Windows XP, you'd go to Run under the Start menu and type in 'cmd' (without quotes) and press enter. In Windows 7, you can access it by typing 'cmd' (still w/o quotes) into the search bar at the bottom of the Start menu. If you're on Mac, then it would be the 'Terminal' application in your Applications folder.

If you go the ADB route, don't forget to have the command line point to the 'Tools' folder of the Android SDK, otherwise it won't know what you mean when you type any of the ADB commands. So, for both Windows and Mac the change directory command is:

cd *directory*

where *directory* = /Desktop/ericFuels999 (just as an example of the syntax)
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
I have android commander and Android SDK downloaded on my computer. Haven't really tried to do anything with them yet nor do I really know what I am doing, but I am usually quick to pick up on this type of stuff.

I'm new to all of this stuff...rooted only a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the insight.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
big thanks to ericFuels999 for the help/replies!

now that i've got a version of TT2.1 out that i'm "happy" with... i'm really looking forward to beating my head in a wall with this AOSP build (again) for the upcoming week + (seriously, i think i kinda like the self abuse)

:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
I did this and ended up with a bunch of errors from google.apps.something.something.something after rebooting the phone. Something in the ROM must be looking for the apps I deleted when it boots up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jeffgman:
Which apps did you delete?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
let me know what apps you've deleted... i'm sure i can help you out!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Went back to this rom after switching around for awhile, and I have to say, overall it is my favorite rom. You just can't beat the simplicity and speed! Although this rom doesn't really "need" an update, I can't wait to see what you come up with!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
So, based on your original post, the apps you wanted to delete were:

Corporate calendar

Dev Tools

Facebook

Google Talk

Google Voice

Quick Boot

Just to be sure that you're not confusing some of the app names with others ( not saying that you are, but just want to make sure), the respective names of the apps as found in /system/app are as follows:

CorCAL.apk

Development.apk

**Facebook is in the /data/app directory, which means you can uninstall it directly on your phone. If you have Launcherpro or ADW, it's as simple as holding it over the trashcan until it says "drop to uninstall"**

Talk.apk

com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.apk

com.siriusapplications.quickboot.apk
[Droid Eris Android Development] adrenalinerush12:
I always try out the new Froyo ROM updates, and I always find my way going back to 2.1 ROMS. I've just now faced the fact that the Eris just wasn't meant to run Froyo, and this ROM is now my default. It's just super quick and the battery life is very good.

The only bug that's annoying is the contacts bug, where when you scroll down the list, it's super unorganized, which you're obviously already aware of.

Thanks for this ROM, looking forward to updates.
[Droid Eris Android Development] brwetz:
I'm a very big fan of this ROM. It's simple and extremely fast, both of which are very important to me. It's not flashy, it runs well, and overall I'd give it a 4.5/5.

Much love to Zach and everyone involved in the making of this ROM and allowing me to enjoy my Eris more extensively.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
Yes. Those are the ones where I just deleted the apk files. I used Android Commander. I can try again and let you know what happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
OK. I went through and did this again. Didn't get the errors this time until I removed the googletalk service APK. Probably why I received the errors the first time since I removed both google talk and the talk service. Talk service wants to run in the background so is there a way to get rid of it without getting the errors?

Can the 2d Gallery be used instead of the 3d?

How about the option for a black status bar like Tainted Tenzo?

Also, why is there a bar at the top of the contacts list with an "S" in it?

Automatic Brightness does not work either.

This ROM is close to perfect. :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. i look into gtalk service for you... but i think the short answer is "probably not"

2. Yes... for 2D gallery, use the apk attached to this post :) (you don't have to remove the 3Dgallery... you can run both. or, feel free to remove 3Dgallery once you have this one installed/working). remember, always NAND to be safe :)

3. Black status bar... probably not... but i'll see what i can come up with :) (most ppl prefer the white status bar, i believe)

4. Contacts fixed :)

5. Auto-brightness... GRRRRR. still attempting to fix!!!

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

first post updated w/new version.

fixed Contacts

added Multi-Touch browser

now using Conap's CFS kernel

and a few other smaller things... see 2nd post for official changelog :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Droid0351:
just do a google. I found live wallpapers for any rom. I found it under sdx-developers just download it and flash it from recovery. It only works for home or non sensed based rom. I tried to post link, xda app will not let me. It tells me its spam. Just google it. live wallpapers for 2.1.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
Has anyone noticed any GPS issues using this rom? I'm currently using a froyo rom, but the GPS issues are getting really frustrating when it keeps losing the signal while I'm running using CardioTrainer.

I'd like to keep froyo, but if I have to go back to 2.1 to get the GPS functional, I'll do it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
I've used this rom extensively in the past and it didn't have any GPS issues for me. If you want to stay on Froyo, you might want to check out shadowrom. The GPS locks super quick and seems stable from my testing. Maybe give that a go? If you're afraid of clockworkmod bricking your phone, I've heard reports from multiple users that the bug causing it was squashed months ago. Haven't had any problems myself. As for 2.1, I highly recommend this rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Batbriel:
Nice, looking forward to play with this ROM again !! Woop Woop !! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] texmex7265:
great, great rom. im loving it. thanks so much for all your work. im only having one problem. whenever i go to contacts and select a person i want to call and press the call button, the application force closes. it works if i touch the name to call but doesnt if i press the actual call button to call. not rly that big of a deal tho, just figured id report this bug.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
I have an issue. The battery tweak isn't working. I think it's because it's based to work with the zanfur kernel which this rom does not have.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Can you give more detail? What is the error? What did you do to turn on? What does the report log gscript show? Can you run and post the output of the save and clear log gscript?

Thxs!
[Droid Eris Android Development] cynikalJ:
Ok I will get all that info for you zach but in the meantime is there a way I can get the keyboard from xtrsense onto vanilla. I like the silver and green
