Sure. I just tried it myself. Here's what I did:

1) I downloaded EasySign and uncompressed it into a new folder. It is a tar.gz file, so you might have to uncompress it twice. You should see the following files - signapk.jar, Signupdate.sh, SignZIP.sh, testkey.pk8, and testkey.x509.pem.

2) copied my ROM into the same folder

3) renamed SignZIP.sh to SignZIP.bat

4) double-clicked SignZIP.bat

5) This created a newly signed ROM called 'update_signed.zip'.​

That's it. You do have to have java installed. You do not need the sdk for this. You don't have to use the command prompt, although you could.

If i wanted to set the dalvik heapsize on boot. would i add the line to the build.prop or would i have to add it into one of the .rc files?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
build.prop
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDanimal:
Thanks, that's where I added it. I just wanted to make sure it was in the right place. Now if i can get this video recorder problem worked out...
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
You need beta testers.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheDanimal:
I'll upload it and add a link on here when i get the chance. The video recorder doesn't work, no autobacklight, the softkey lights work when you touch the screen or use the trackball, trackball notifications don't work either. I think it's all tied in to the light sensor. I've looked at lights.c and sensors.c in the source but i don't know enough to modify those. Oh, I haven't tested sending and receiving video, pictures work fine through MMS though.

I'm just beginning to use linux. I installed Ubuntu 10.10, dual booting with Windows 7. I already had the android SDK, and JDK installed with Windows. My question is, do I need to install them again for the linux partition, and if so, can someone point me in right direction? I'm not sure if there's a tutorial for this. I'm sorry if this is a newb question, but I am a newb to linux. If anyone can post me any links, that would help me out. I'm also trying to learn on my own, but any help would be appreciated :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
If you're new to Linux I suggest you familiarize yourself with it in other ways first. Learn the basics. Don't just copy and paste commands, try to learn what they mean.

And you download the Android stuff for Linux the same place as you do for Windows.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
Maybe im echoing a common question amongst newbies around here but i was just wondering if there was a custom ROM thats relatively easy to load thats Froyo based, supports apps to install on the SD card, Flash (i guess...not necessary), and important to me...Sense. I love sense. I like vanilla android or regular android UI but i just like Sense so much. If nothings goin on like that with sense, what would you guys suggest that will run good on an Eris? Thanks, and i apologize if this is something that warrants a response such as "use the search button." Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
There's only one Froyo Sense ROM for the Eris, and I don't think the bugs have been worked out yet.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=660512

All of the CM6 based ROMs have done well for me. You don't have to search. The threads for these pretty much stay on the same page with this thread. Just look for threads starting with [ROM] and then read at least the first post or two to see what they have going for them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshw0000:
Have you tried Launcher Pro? If you upgrade you can get a lot of widges such as contacts, calendar, website favorites, etc. It's very similar to sense and can be used on any rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
Ill have to look into launcher pro. Whats the most stable, least buggy 2.2 based custom rom? Im totally new to this, never even have rooted let alone loaded a custom ROM. Most ive gotten really into it was that I manually loaded the official 2.1 update when it came out. I got impatient when 3 days had passed since the OTA began so i downloaded it and updated myself haha. I really wanna try a 2.2 based custom rom though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshw0000:
The developers all seem to share ideas/fixes so it's honestly a matter of personal preference. I reccommend flashing them all. Use Titanium to create a back up of your current rom and restore your apps to each new rom. Give each rom a week or two for testing, create a nandroid before flashing each new rom, and you be the judge. Whichever one you like best, nandroid back to. That way, if you notice a developer has put out a new/awesome update you can nandroid back to that rom, then flash the update and play with it.

What are the advantages of a 2.2 froyo ROm over a 2.1 one with sense? I currently have Kaos Froyo but want to get flash player so I'm thinking about going to a 2.1 based ROM, but would like to know what the differences will be before I do it. Thanks.

[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Vanilla/Cyanogen Froyo ROMs typically have a dramatic speed increase over 2.1 sense based or AOSP ROMs. Sense 2.1 (and now 2.2) both contain flash (2.1 has flash lite, 2.2 has flash 10.1), however 2.2 ROMs with Sense are still in the works and have plenty of kinks to iron out.

Since KaosFroyo had working wifi and camera I've been on that ROM until monday. Now I'm using tenzomonk's TenzoSense which is (what I consider to be) the most promising 2.2 ROM with Sense.

Edit: on second thought, I think 2.1 ROMs w/sense might have Flash 10. I have no idea really. I'm so over 2.1, that sluggish heap of trash.

Is there a ROM that allows IPtable stuff floatin around out there? Im looking for a ROM that is confirmed running solid on a this phone but flashed to MetroPCS. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
You should try xtrSense ROM ... it's a 2.1 ROM that works very well on MPCS system and is probably the best one out there for the Eris on Metro. Am running Version 6 in the SoFla area and everything is working with the exception of those apps that want to check a specific IP/port (such as Voice Search) ... that doesn't work because of the proxy but web, mms, etc all work well .. keep the VERY small mms size limit Metro imposes in mind and unless you are in a 4G area you will need to DL from Market on WiFi. I haven't found a 2.2 ROM that plays nice with Metro. Hope this helps.

Create a nandroid and try it out. If it doesn't work or you get undesirable results, restore the nandroid.

It should work fine. It is my understanding that Froyo is really designed to work with a 2.6.32+ kernel anyway. 2.1 is designed to work with the 2.6.29...

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...ock-1-5-latest-root-2-1-a-16.html#post2042315

i posted in that thread but i want to ask here too...

heres part of the instructions...

INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip this file to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK. Then run one of the following files:

install_root.bat

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

This script will do the following:

1) Install the root image onto your phone

2) Install the recovery partition onto your phone

3) Install the current rom using the recovery partition

heres my question...

Okay so i hook up the phone to the PC then click install_root.bat. That should do what i want, however in what mode should the phone be in when i have it plugged in? Powered on like normal, in the stock hboot/recovery mode...?? Not sure about what to do there...

any help would be much appreciated!

Please look up what "cross-posting" is, and why it is universally loathed.

Normally I would not mention it, but posting a how-to question about a thread on another forum is hardly a development question; please refer to the title of this thread.

In the meantime - judging from the 3 or 4 other threads you have posted in (here on XDA) about the same issue, it appears that (reading between the lines) you solved your problem... without thanking anyone for their assistance or disclosing what method you finally used.

Happy Holidays!

I just pushed the other files from Conap's 4.2 rom to "/system/lib/hw/" and now the lights work correctly! YAY! I thought I tried it before, but I guess not.

EDIT: Nope, still don't work right. In a lighted room the lights are not on. But in a darker room, they come on. I flashed back to Conap's 4.2 and the lights stay on while the screen is on regard less of light. How do I fix it to do the same?

I am also trying to port aospCmod. My problem is that I cannot get the home, menu, return, and search (I think they are called softkeys) to work. Nothing happens when i touch them, so I cannot navigate throughout the rom. Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Roughly what steps did you take after using the porting tools in the kitchen? Although a real time saver, it's far from a complete tool. It basically copies the kernel and modules from the stock ROM into the newly created one along with changing the build.prop a bit.

With previous versions of Android, you would still need to copy some drivers and such from a stock ROM. GB might need more work. I'm not sure.

You can look at some of my old threads to get some ideas, although there are devs here who know way more than I do.

If you haven't already... Copy the keyboard files from a stock ROM into the newly created ROM.

/system/usr/keychars/*

/system/usr/keylayout/*

And you can get rid of anything with heroc in it's name in there, although it won't hurt to leave them. It's just cleaner in my opinion if unneeded files are gone.

I copied these files\directories from KGBv8 since wifi and bluetooth work on KGBv8

\system\lib\hw

\system\lib\modules\wlan.ko

\system\lib\bluez-plugin

\system\bin\bluetoothd

I also tried copying \system\lib\hw from a Froyo ROM to try and get the soft key lights, which didn't work, they still function though.

I managed to break GPS and fix Bluetooth while copying files. I need to document my changes better. I will take a look at the links you provided to see what files affect each feature. Thanks!

How does /system/etc/wifi look?

Also, if you extract the boot.img, you'll see a file called 'init.rc' and 'init.desirec.rc'. (If you have one called 'init.heroc.rc', rename it to 'init.desirec.rc'.) I would look through these. They should have a few lines that relate to wifi. One starts up the wlan_loader as a service. It references two files that need to exist. You can also take that line and try to run it manually from a console, like this -

wlan_loader -f /system/etc/wifi/Fw1251r1c.bin -e /proc/calibration -i /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

ROM Port Help

So the other day I noticed a custom ROM for the Xoom. I downloaded it an started to play with it in dsixda kitched. Attempting to port it to me test Eris but I am having trouble. I can get the kitchen to extract it and add kernel from GSB. I editted build.prop and update-script to match device. Removed a few apps to scrink it enough to fit. Built ROM and copied to SD card. Installed through recovery and I keep getting a boot loop, never gets past initial boot screen. Also tried with kernal from nonsensikal 16.1, it gets further in the boot process and then reboots into recovery. In both cases I monitor logcat through Eclipes but get no information. I know that my logcat is working because a did flash GSB and monitored it during boot up and got a ton of information. Any insight as to how to find out my error or and sugustion to try to fix it would be wonderful. Thanks
