[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
Has anyone been able to get the stock launcher working? My test with an apk yanked off Google didn't work.

Don't tell me to use LauncherPro or ADW. I like stock launchers and the like, and have used and hated both before. Hence why I can't wait for an AOSP of this. Silver top bar ftw.
[Vibrant General] koreanjhee:
My Vibrant won't get recognized anymore...

I did use Kies for a little bit, found out it was a piece of crap then I plug it in after like 2 months (I've been using dropbox)

it won't read into the removable drives sd and internal.

I:/ I/O device error is the message it keeps telling me.

help please?

Was just wondering why the ShadowROM thread was closed. Fine if xda dosen't want to support external links, but why close the thread to those that want to talk about the ROM with other members of xda?

For those of you that gave this ROM a chance what are your impressions. I love this ROM. Very fast, one of the only froyo roms that sports an option for a rotary lockscreen with music controls built in. I also love the fact that it has a CPU scaling option which makes it so set cpu does not need to be downloaded. Below is a themed version of this ROM showing off the rotary lock screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
I agree, this rom is pretty awesome. I flashed conap's CFS v5 kernel over and it runs even smoother than with the stock kernel that comes with it. So I highly suggest flashing conap's kernel.

The only problem I have with it is that there's no trackball or led notification lights for text messages. Or if there is they're not working for me, and I can't find any options in the settings for it.

I love the CPU scaling options too, no need for setCPU or collin's battery script for this rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
thanks for the input about the kernal will give this a try
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
No problem! do the trackball notifications work for you?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
I haven't tried looking at that yet....will look into though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
ok, thanks for your help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
(post removed...question answered...sorry!)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
Like everyone else said..I like this rom for all the little things.

Rotary lockscreen options

Not SetCPU required as is has the settings built in

The ability to swap any app from data to system and vice versa allowing easy uninstallation of system files

The camera/ 3d gallery works great

Adblock settings built in

The only downside currently is the lack of led/trackball notifications and an older kernel. Once these two things get spruced up it should be great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skipbarker:
How do you get the rotary lock screen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
It's under shadowrom settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skipbarker:
Oh man I feel dumb. I looked over it several times.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Seanydizzley:
I'm one of the unlucky ones, as I can't flash V0.2.0 or V0.2.1. I've been running V0.1.0 for about a month now, and I love it! Like mentioned before the only con to this ROM is that there are no notification lights.

When I try to flash the newer versions I get tossed into a boot loop. Has anyone had this problem and found a way around it? I'd really love to try the new update as it sounds even better than the version I'm running.

V0.1.0 is super snappy and reliable. GPS Locks on instantly, little to no FC's, fast, CPU integration. It's all there. But sounds like the newest version improves on everything. Plus there's a rotary screen! Drool.. Thanks to everyone in advance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lomenciad:
Are there themes available? Their website links to some, but none seem to be for the Eris. Are there other compatible themes?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CCCP4ever:
Love this rom. ShadowRom is really good and stable froyo rom. Have it on my eris and moto droid.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bubba82:
Can anyone give me the link so I can try this out ...... thanks in advance
[Droid Eris Android Development] skipbarker:
For me the easiest way to get this rom was through rom manager on the market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lomenciad:
Just google shadowrom. It is easy to find. : )
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Shadowrom.com. That's their site. It has the download on it.

My two cents, this is the most stable 2.2 Rom I've used. No lag, gps locks on immediately, no random reboots and also plays well with the Collin ph battery script. It took time for my phone to get use to running it, the fist couple of boots it was really laggy so I just kept rebooting and now its like butter.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bubba82:
Thanks!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Ah, I must have given up too early. It was super laggy for awhile after I flashed it. Should have rebooted more. Thanks for addressing that, I'll give it another shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
It was horribly laggy for me to begin with. I couldn't even drag an icon to delete it Haha but now all is well. Been running it since posted here and is really smooth
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I was going to comment on this before the other thread was closed....

It is possible that the rom is defaulted to an overclock cpu setting that you phone does not like (this can be even more true if JIT is on by default and other performance setting are tweaked for higher scores). I have run into this on two occasions with users of my ROMs...

I saw the devs of this ROM mention that the bootloop has happened on a few users out of 100 which is about the same ratio I experienced, so if they are reading that is my suggestion ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Yeah I would have liked to have tried this but alas it loops on me too:(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Seanydizzley:
Thanks for the reply.

I do believe that I is set for JIT on by default. I know that it is in V0.1.

The phone I have now, and never have fully tested where it would loop me with

CPU settings.

When I got this phone, I rooted, DL'd RM and just restored my V0.1 from my

backups. So I don't even know if I can actually flash that ROM from a clean install. Lol.

Are you saying that if they decrease the CPU values they will have a greater success rate for installs?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lomenciad:
What theme is that in the screen shots, and where can I find it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jhart15063:
can i flash this rom with AmonRA recovery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
No it must be flashed through clockwork, but if you download rom manager it actually runs a pretty slick setup ... as clockwork does not actually flash over amon_ra instead it puts an update.zip on your SD card, you flash that from AMON and it boots you into clockwork ... from there you can flash shadow rom (which BTW is an excellent rom) after that the next time you boot into recovery you will be back in AMON.....all you have to do is flash the update.zip any time you might want to use clockwork
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Wow, so I gave this another shot and was more patient this time. It took a LONG time to get rid of the lag - maybe 20 minutes while I was installing backups on the first boot. After rebooting the next time, it took about 3-4 minutes and it hit a point where it just immediately got faster. It's blazing fast now. Now I can see why everybody in here is calling this the fastest froyo rom!
[Droid Eris Android Development] smokedkill:
I was about to try this rom out until I found out you need Clockwork. Every story I hear about someone bricking their phone, Clockwork is always involved. Not once have I heard of anyone bricking their phone using Amons.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
Yes it is a strong possibility
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
the instances you are refering to are with people who replaced Amen Ra with clockwork. If you read several people have stated that you can use clockwork through the SD, IE your worry is pretty much invalid.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
I really want to try this rom but I also do not want to brick my phone. Should I bother trying clockwork or no.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
external links

I've seen external links in other forums to bug trackers, downloads and other stuff. Taking this down without doing the others might make it seem like an arbitrary rule.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
If you download ROM manager from the market and flash Clockwork recovery within the app, it won't replace Amon RA's recovery. Amon RA will simply load in the Clockwork recovery when you reboot to recovery from the ROM manager app. If you boot into recovery any other way, you will still get Amon RA's recovery.

So, you can have your cake and eat it too...though, I still don't take any responsibility if this bricks your phone. :rolleyes:

I completely agree.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bubba82:
I went to dl it and it worked i put it on the sd card wiped everything and tried to install it and it kept aborting it iam i missing something???? i can flash the other roms i have on my sd card just fine ..............:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
You have to use ROM Manager from the market to install it. After you download that you also have to flash the Clockwork Recovery from the app, which won't replace your current recovery, but rather it only launches from the app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I talked with the devs and they said they will look into getting the LED/trackball notifications working as well as incorporating Conap's latest kernel.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
Aweseome! Conap's latest kernel really sped things up for me. Looking forward to having led/trackball notifications.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PFongemie:
Themes

Where did you get the theme for shadowrom? There web site dosent list any that are compatable.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
The theme that I posted is one that I used metamorph as well as pushing other parts of various roms to maintain the dark and blue effect. At this time I dont think there is an official theme posted yet. If interested I will post how I got this theme to look the way it does.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Droid0351:
shadow rom will not load on my phone. I get stuck on the boot screen and that's it no farther than that. Yes, I do a full wipe. Any ideas.
[Droid Eris Android Development] alphawolf36:
Read through last couple of pages, you need to run rommanager for clockwork...
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Just to be sure, did you boot into Clockwork recovery from rom manager and flash it? Also, did you flash google apps? I remember reading somewhere that not flashing google apps with this particular rom can cause potential issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] arkfirefighter:
First time using clockwork. No issues there, took about 6 battery pulls but started working fine after that. Got rid of the launcher for adw. Seems real smooth and battery life is about the same as other froyo roms. Will prob end up going back to kaos though. Flashed gapps from kaos through amon btw
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
Wow 6 battery pulls? I didn't have to do any. Clockwork works flawless for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
I tried flashing this Rom also and got the boot loop. Yes I used Clockwork. One of the Devs said it could be the kernel that my phone doesnt like so I tried Flashing Rom--then Gapps--Then CFS Kernel and then boot and it did the same thing. Now I am usin XTRSense and it rocks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NeoWave:
Exactly the same for me... It boot once when i forgot to flash gapps.. but stuck on the android logo if i do the right way = boot in clockwork, wipe everything, flash the rom, flash gapps, (flash last CFS kernel or not), reboot = stuck!

cant make it work
[Droid Eris Android Development] arkfirefighter:
Mine was stuck in the bootloops as well. That's why it took 6 bat pulls lol guess I was determined lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I signed the file...flashed it in amons recovery, flashed gapps, flashed my cfsv5 kernel and it booted fine for me...make sure you guys are using the gapps from thier site....
[Droid Eris Android Development] lomenciad:
Not sure what happened with mine. I wiped and flashed last night and after the initial sluggishness, it seemed to be working great...then I flashed conap's CFS v5 kernel. This afternoon, my boss texted me and said he'd been trying to call me, but my phone never rang and I never received notification of missed calls, so I called him. It seemed that texting and outgoing calls worked fine, but when I had him try again, I still got nothing.

I'm back on KaosFroyo 36 right now, but if anybody has any ideas what could have caused it, let me know!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
What do you think Conap? I tried it and it seemed fast, but the lack of led/trackball notifications killed it for me. For now I'm sticking with your Froyo build.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
Is this being flashed from clockwork also?

Haven't found the rotary selection under ShadowROM settings. Maybe I'm missing something? I would love to have that option!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
I got about the same benchmarks as any other froyo rom...i really like the cpu settings but then again I liked overclock widget showing my cpu speed on my homescreen anyway so would probably still end up downloading that. The camera shutter sound setting didn't seem to work for me...they have some nice extra settings. I talked to the dev's about my notifications lights fix so they can incorporate that if they like...seemed pretty stable but didn't run it all that long. Only way to know if it's right for you is to try it yourself.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
No I flashed CFSv5 with Amon's recovery.

And the rotary lockcreen is under ShadowROM settings > Input Settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
...Wierd. Not there for me...Maybe I'll try this again...

Thanks for the quick reply!

edit: Found out why. Noticed I downloaded the 1st version of ShadowROM. Talk about a derrr moment...Sorry for the troubles...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jjlyons:
haha good one =P no worries!
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
Post flash report!

Well, flashed and installed all my apps. Gotta say, I'm REALLY liking this ROM. I was so sold on XTRSense/Rom because it seemed so bulletproof. But I was waiting for a 2.2 that wasn't (in my own experience) laggy and inconvenient (w/cam issues and gps issues).

The trackball isn't so much important as at least having an audible notification for messages, email, missed calls, etc. The built in "SetCPU" parameters are excellent options to have. I haven't experienced any lag or bugginess yet, although I've only been running this a few hours. It comes with a cool Retro Clock widget, along with a cool power control widget that has all the controls I'm used to using with Sense.

I think this may be my new "go-to" ROM.

THANKS TO ALL WHO MAKE ALL THESE ROMS AVAILABLE FOR US TO USE AND HAVE ALOT OF FUN WITH!
[Droid Eris Android Development] sun1744:
Hi all

Where can i get this rom?

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
Shadowrom.com
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
I must say... I like this ROM even more than cyanogentazz... Fastest ROM ive ever used.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
flashing google apps

I flashed this last night. I couldn't to it with Amon's recovery, so I went the Clockwork route. I flashed the rom ok, but google apps wouldn't go for me.

I'd like to try it again. Is there a way to flash this with Amon's?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
Try downloading it again and then flashing it again with clockwork. It seemed to have had no problems with anyone else, so just try that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sun1744:
thanks a lot
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Is anybody else getting a force close with voice search? Just curious if it's my setup or the ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
LMAO! You wish buddy ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
Apps!

I was wondering...

When given the option to "move" your apps either to data or to SD, there is also another option below that gives you the option to move your app to "System." What does this mean? Is this like the "cache2cache" option in XTR? Or is this something totally different?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
"System" is where the normal apps you can't add/remove are stored (phone, gtalk,etc). Data is where the other regular apps are stored. Essentially you can move apps from system to data and remove any app through the add/remove option. You'll notice when you first boot up the rom there is a ton of stuff in the add/remove list that aren't usually available.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
don't forget, they are in system/app
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
I was having the same problem just install the update from the android market and it should fix this.:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
I like this froyo rom but the only reason I have been sticking with this over any other is because the gps locks on immediately everytime and the collin ph battery script survives a reboot (though conaps does too)
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
My GPS locks on quick, collins always sticks for me after reboot... and I'm on Tazz B2 :D Hmmm ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidJW:
Kaos fixed the GPS lock issue in v36 (at least I've not had the issue since v36)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
You know I love you and tazzs work but I've had no success with either issues... but I'll be flashing tazzs latest since its so sexy
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
It's all good bro, I was just stating :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
What is that clock in the first pic? I want it!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
I believe it's the old Digitalclock.

I attached it to this post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
It's called digital clock (original huh) its not on the market. It is from a sony erickson xperia rom. You have to use adb to push it to the system files though. You cannot install it like a regular apk from the sd card. Will try and find the link to it.

Edit: Oh look its in the previous post LOL
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
Great, thanks! adb push wouldn't work (kept saying it was a read-only system or something) so I just pushed to /sdcard/ and then copied to /system/app/ using RootExplorer. It is not showing up anywhere though so I'm rebooting to see if it works... is there anything I missed?

EDIT: Alright, rebooted, and it's still nowhere to be found. Not in the list when adding widgets, not in the app drawer... but it is still in /system/app/ though. Also if I try to run the .apk it just says "Application not installed" after trying for a few seconds. What next?
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadster99:
yes, very interested!
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
you have to do a remount before you push

adb remount

adb push DigitalClock.apk system/app/DigitalClock.apk

just like that ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
Cool thanks that worked :D

Is there any way I can modify it so it will open the Clock app when I tap it? I use DigiClock right now and that's my #1 favorite feature... this clock looks much nicer, but I want quick access to the alarm clock.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
I think so. I haven't used it all that much recently, but I did include it in the pink rom I did for the ladies with Tazz.

Look in your app drawer for clocks or digitalclock, I don't remember taht well :o

Pretty sure it's in there though, just run that for options I believe.

Don't quote me, but I'm sure it'll do what you need it to :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
On shadowrom.com he has posted a new boot screen for this rom if your interested. It looks pretty cool on the phone bye green skateboard guys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
Yep I checked there... There is "DigiClock" which is the one I used before, and that does have the settings and such, but there is nothing for this new one DigitialClock. Bummer :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Not sure u r correct. I flashed this rom and I don't think its faster then mine or conaps rom. Just my opinion
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Been running for week now, +1 ^
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
What this rom? U think its faster? Like I said its my opinion lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
lol I been using this shadow rom, but I've ran all except your latest as well as conaps, it's not faster.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Lol my bad I thought u meant this was faster
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
But it does have some cool features built in, cpu settings, ad blocking, all cm6 stuff and probably more I can't think of but most of that doesn't mean much, I been using it cause for some reason the gps signal locks immediately every time which every other froyo hasn't done for me, the script lasts reboot too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Well I don't block adds cuz people make money off them and I don't think its right. If people wanna block them there are apps for that
[Droid Eris Android Development] billygalbreath:
Ad Blocking can be turned off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
I respect that, like I said though most of those things don't matter to me and believe I'm not dissing you, conap, listy or kaos, you guys all make great f'n roms that are all beasty beasts. It's just the gps matters cause I deliver when I have time
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
[ that is y i wanted to try this oneQUOTE=billygalbreath;8546353]Ad Blocking can be turned off.[/QUOTE]

Hey im not downin ur rom bro I've used them on my droid
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Ya can't down any of these froyo roms or any rom for that matter in my opinion, it's not right to do when people are taking their time to do this and then are generouse enough to share it. I really like all of them, I usually flash every froyo rom update from any Dev Haha. You all rock this sh!t and I really appreciate it, keeps me occupied Haha. Thanks guys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] billygalbreath:
Sure seems like you and workshed are indeed "downin my rom" in multiple ways then just that. I dont go into your rom's threads talking down, I'd expect the same treatment in return.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Honestly id like to learn the droid dev stuff I have it sittin aside doin nuthing lol those guys are the reason I started with the eris. Its easier lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Read my posts bro I wanna learn from u guys.I apologize if I came off the wrong way man but read what else I said
[Droid Eris Android Development] shiznit05:
It would be nice to even just install this ROM so I can give my opinion on it. I've never been able to get it to install and boot. It always bootloops at the skateboards. Anyone else have the same issue and find a workaround?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Think u need rom manager
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
shiznit, are you running amons recovery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
No you don't. The rom isn't signed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] billygalbreath:
He's able to install the Rom, but he's getting bootloops. I've seen a logcat from someone else with the same issue. Seems there are about 2 or 3 out of 100 users that get this error on this device. The logcat doesnt help me pinpoint the issue either, except for that its definitely not kernel related.
