Just back in town, is the new official release going to be posted soon?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
tazz, my feed back, i gave 4 v9 a test drive. It still had an issue with GPS. It worked great for about 10 miles, then lost the signal. it never fount it again. i also had a problem with Youtube. The app wanted to update, but the update failed, with requries manual update. I flashed from v23(after the wipes), not all of my apps came back from google. Thanks

Tom
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

[Droid Eris Android Development] tcrappa2:
Been running 4.0 with v8 flawlessly! Thanks again Tazz.. can't wait for the 'official' release to see if there are any extra goodies :) Thanks bro!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
it looks like the issues are with the v9 kernel
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
official

ok guys this should be the official release 4.5 v8

i made one for v9 also just gettin reading to flash it, but it seems like the complaints are from users with the v9 so ill only release that one to a few peple to test

the wallpaper that was on 4.0 is in gallery , blue version and black

ask and you shall receive!... Thanks a lot dude!
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
I've been running V9 (I think. It says @conap-laptop #2) for about a day and a half w/ no issues, but I haven't tested gps. Love this rom and the smooth calendar/mask clock. Great work, as always tazz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Tazz all my testing was V9 w/no probs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Ok I was just seeing people saying they had issues..where using v9 .. thanx bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I had no problems with 9 either... 8 just feels smoother on my phone.

Sent from my Floyo Tazz
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
I flashed 4.5 over Test 9. Been running well all day, no issues. GPS stayed locked for over 60 miles.

Lovin it!
[Droid Eris Android Development] RubberDucker:
Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I've been using both of Tazz's ROMs for a while now. I just went back to Vanilla V24 since I was having GPS issues with this ROM. Of course now that is fixed on V4.5

What are the main differences between the two ROMS? Other than cosmetics, I'm not really seeing a performance difference.

I think both are awesome, but since I just flashed back to V24, it is really worth while to flash back to V4.5?

Interested in everyone's thoughts...
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
never mind
[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
4.5 V8

Been running it until about an hour ago cuz my battery is dead but GPS locked in tonight in like 2 seconds!

I like the blue theme alot, and I am glad you put back the status icons from the previous version, much easier to see.

I had a few FC's early on but I am sure it was the apps, or even the phone.

My battery was low and I flashed a few ROMS and then went back to nands and I think I freaked it out !

Anyway great job Tazz and thank you man, this is really working great for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
tazz,

This is interesting. I flashed my eris to v23 and then the V9 kernel. Then tried the GPS on the way home from work. I had the same issue as this moring on the way to work. I got about 10 mi and lost the signal. The signal never reconnected. I was wondering if it has something to do with the way Google restores the Map application.

Thanks,

T
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i dont understand y ,, it looks like no one else is haven the issue ,, try the v8 , im wondering if ur issue is with the kernel version,
[Droid Eris Android Development] itbedave:
I'm looking forward to trying again with the 4.5 v8 again on the wife's phone this weekend.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Thanks for the update Tazz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] syrusmx:
!!!

My camera works...again! The gallery works...again! My screen rotates...again! Navigation doesn't force close when I rotate my phone...again! My PHONE WORKS...AGAIN! You have no idea how happy this makes me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
Hey tazz - just flashed last night. When it was re-downloading all my apps from the Market, it wasn't able to download Facebook, Google Search, Maps, or Youtube, I guess because they were already installed on the ROM. But now it won't let me update those apps in the Market either. I keep getting the "Installation Unsuccessful."

I would like to have the latest versions of those apps. Any way around this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
Tazz, I ran the GPS on 4.5 with v8. It was flawless. I'll probably flash v9 on it for the ride home tonight. Thanks, T
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
Yo bro...just back from jury duty and see the new version...awesome. I installed V9 with 3.5 and it seemed fine, not any better or worse than V8. But I'm downloading 4.5 now, so I'll try both out.

Hope you feeling some better bro.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scottjb:
I had this happen with Youtube. I removed it with Titanium backup then installed from the Market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Hey bro, no problem. But do realize that the 15min return policy isn't .apk specific, it's on google's end, so it's going to be in effect no matter which market you use.

Just a heads-up :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
Just tried this. Uninstall from Titanium was successful, but when I tried downloading facebook from the Market I still got the "Installation Unsuccessful" message
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Make sure the Facebook.apk isn't still in system/app before you install from the market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
checked. it's not in system/app and still no dice.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
check data/app for something like com.android.katana-1.apk ... try clearing data or cache for the market under settings > applications ...
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
this is getting so annoying.

There wasn't anything in data/app for it, but it's showing up in my Manage Applications as com.facebook.katana.

When I searched for "katana" in Root Explorer, the only thing it gave me, I couldn't delete because it's a read-only file system.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Use Estrongs file manager, you need to gain root to be able to delete files in data, I use root explorer and hit the button at the top to switch from read only to read/write to be able to delete. Sorry you're having the troubles :(

You can also use adb to remove it, but that seems to be the issue, you have to get rid of that file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
ok, switched over to R/W, deleted the file, restarted my phone, and now I have it installed from the Market. Cool
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
You're welcome :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] znel52:
Ok so i'm beginning to think this new market force closing is not a ROM issue. I flashed this rom and installed the new market. I am still getting force closes even though it works fine for other ppl on the same ROM. What could be different about my phone? and I did do a dalvik before flashing it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] znel52:
should have mentioned im on floyo 4.5 now
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
Tazz, I guess my GPS problem may stay a mystery. I flashed V9 over my 4.5 v8. The GPS works fine now. Thanks, T

P.S. I hope you are feeling better.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
cool im glad it works now :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Trying 4.5 V8 for a few days. I'll report back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
im at the point bro i dont think im ever gettin better , thanx for the well wishes :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] scottjb:
Glad you got that working. A better solution is Tweetdeck. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdaaaniel:
dude that's not cool what's the matter?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Back is pretty screwed up .. been through two surgeries. And im only gettin worse.. its been two yrs and haven't been able to work or anything
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
Was the file in data/app? I have the same problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Sorry to hear that bro.... back problems suck. Im not far from having to get surgery too but the drs don't want to do it because of where it is. They say its too risky. Hope things get better for you man.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Dude if u can avoid surgery do it.. I had no choice it happened at work so I had to do what they say
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
Tazz...it seems no one else is having these problems, so I'm a sample of one, but I am having problems with 4.5, mostly around the market. It doesn't find all my apps (that happens a lot anyway, and I can fix that), but the ones it does find all fail on install.

I have tried installing two or three times...full data/cache wipes and Dalvik wipes each time before install, and the same thing occurs on every install.

Back on 3.0 for the time being...will try some other things when I get a little time.

Hope you are feeling better bro!
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Just use Appbrain man, it will ALWAYS remember & restore your apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Hhmm its not happening that I know of on this rom or vanilla. And I used the same build prop market app ext on both:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Trust me..... I am. Lol. I have a brace im supposed to where all the time too but it gets im the way on the bike :rolleyes: don't they take important things like that in consideration when they make these things? Lol. It stays home a lot lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
Yeah, I don't know...first time I ever had a problem like this. Could be my replacement Eris, I don't know. Let me give it one more shot and see if I can come up with something a little more concrete. Or maybe just get it to work.:D Forgot one thing...the smooth calendar is rendering incorrectly...in the month view, the calendar is too large for the screen.

UPDATE: Well, before I tried another install, I downloaded AppBrain at Shed's suggestion and synced up. Reinstalled v4.5 and I'm watching the sync...looks completely normal now. Will keep you posted.

UPDATE 2: The problem seems to be with Google apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
UPDATE 3: Totally weird...google apps will not update. Tried deleting the apps and reinstalling. Works for some, not for others. I have no idea what's happening. Like I said, it seems to be me specific, so don't worry about it. I'll go back to 3.0 for a while. It's rockin' for me!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcmaddhatter:
I'm having the same issue with the Market like doublebyte, done the same things trying to fix it. I froze the Market due to constant FC's...
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Have you guys tried using rommanager and fixing permissions? or tried doing the fix uid mismatches in recovery under "other" ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Hhmm I am haven no issues downloading.. updating .. removing ..apps .. wtf:confused:..its not happening with the vanilla rom and its the same thing
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
And it only seems to be maybe three people so im really confused. Between this rom and vanilla it should be everyone haven the issues. Cuz I used the same everything on both roms
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
The Eris isn't exactly the most stable phone. Look at all the issues/returns it had, and the fact the sunset it so quickly. I would bet a majority of the issues people post about here are due to problems with, and/or caused by, the phone itself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] regis_star:
YouTube app

For what it's worth, I can't update the YouTube app. Always comes up as "unsuccessful". Strangely, in the market the automatic updating is checked by default for YouTube. I uncheck, attempt to download, but unsuccessful. Go back into the market and it's checked again, and yet there's red print under the check box telling me that automatic updates are not allowed for this app.

Running Vanilla Tazz 23
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
I believe tazz is using the Gingerbread YouTube.apk. You'll have to delete that first, from system/app ... then it should install and update fine... but it won't be the Gingerbread YouTube after that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea im using the gb you tube
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdaaaniel:
damn dude i'm really sorry to hear that. i really hope you'll be able to pull through that and start working again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcmaddhatter:
It's not the rom Tazz, they rock, had no issues ever with them. It only started with the market update. Love your work man! (& all who helps out) Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i was gunna ask if those with issues updated the market ,, thanx bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
not sure if ill be able to ever again,, its been a ruff 2 yrs ,, specially around the holidayz ,, itsa good thing the kids are old enough to understand they cant get everything they want til i get through this lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] tj13:
FYI, I had problems with both Facebook and YouTube. I had to hack both of them off before they could be updated.

Just a comment about the Eris, stability. The real problem with them was Verizon. They got a realy bad rap when Verizon pushed the first 2.1 update. There were lots of issues with it. It took months before they would admit there were issues. So basically they had months of people calling to complain. I can only image how many replacements they sent out. They were willing to give me the normal 2 yr price on a new phone. The patch came out shortly afterwords, before I had a chance to pick up a new phone. The patch fixed any issues I had. I have nothing but good things to say about the hardware. I've dropped the thing so many times. Thank god, there are poeple porting ROMs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
not sure about facebook i just updated it with no issues ,,
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
The ROM installs fine bro...the issue is only the Market for me and specifically the google apps. Is Facebook part of that? I had issues with it also. The issue is always unsuccessful update. Had to delete them to get them to install...the only one that would not install after a delete was YouTube.

Also as I mentioned, Smooth Calendar does not render properly...too big. I changed that out.

Gonna give it another go and see what happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i wonder y everything works for me :confused: dude try and reflash gapps maybe? ive never had these issues... i just noticed that there is a new version of this rom out ,,,, when i get my laptop back ,, im gunna update to it and see if it fixes the issues
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
Yeah, I did reflash the gapps and made things worse. :)

I have an idea...trying it out now and will let you know what happens
[Droid Eris Android Development] jflowers:
Keyboard Issues

Thanks for the great ROM! I was previously using FroShedYo, and I switched because I was having several little issues including the keyboard would stop working. I could type the keys and see them respond as if I am writing something, but there would be nothing in the "dialog box". I just started having the same issue with Floyo. If I reboot the issue goes away for about half a day, and then reoccurs. Any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I've had no issues with that kb to be honest.. its the best keyboard I've used on the eris..I was gunna add it to my x but I just found out how fun swype keyboard is lol I know im late to the party lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
You can just restart your kb instead of the phone...long press in the dialog box, change input method, and then change it back to your original. It happens to me every blue moon..
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdaaaniel:
Well don't give up hope man that's the worst thing you can do! That's good about the kids though lol. I hope for the best for you man good luck with everything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Just out of curiosity, what version of gapps are you guys using? I'm having no issues with updating, or installing or anything from the market either. :confused:

I just got the new beta version of swype when it was released too. First time I've tried swype myself but I only used it for a day and didn't reinstall it when I flashed this update lol. Maybe I'm old or something :eek: but I just can't seem to get in to the whole swype thing. :eek:

Edit: Also, have you tried running fix permissions from Rom Manager? That helped me a while back when I was having market issues on another rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dcmaddhatter:
Ok, so I fixed my market issue. I remembered I had flashed the new blue themed market from the first page. I uninstalled that, flashed newest gapps, and reverted to the older market before the update. All issues with my market are fixed now. Thanks to all for your input! It's running like a champ! Thanks again guys...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yup from what i read the new market is haven issues with cm roms for some reason, glad u fixed it
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Damn.... I just realized last night that I never flashed the official updates release and was still running the test version. Lol :rolleyes: dumbass.

sent from the depths of hell
[Droid Eris Android Development] sungal:
Wow, really? You're just trying swype?? lol I've been using it for months -so much easier if ya ask me :) ah well, better late than never haha!! :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i dont use it al the time,, i love the keyboard that came with the x better ,, :p i think i did try it once on the eris but i didnt like it :D i stand corrected lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] sungal:
guess you're just not a "swyper" kind of a guy.... ;) stick to your voice to typing thang :p lmao
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I don't always use voice input.... you should be able to tell that. Lol

sent from the depths of hell
[Droid Eris Android Development] sungal:
it's all good, to each's own ;) I came from a blackberry with actual keys, so it was hard getting used to a touchscreen lol swyping is easier and much faster for me. I think my nails make it harder typing on the keys too, which is something you guys don't have to really consider. :eek:

yea I can, just messin' with ya :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Oh yea sungal.. what was the mood around there after we destroyed the bears ? Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] sungal:
well you know I'm not a Bears fan, but it was reallllly quiet lol and quite funny how the focus became all about how Detroit beat Green Bay! denial, denial, denial...lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
You're right.... we have other things to consider about your nails besides how hard it is fir you to type :eek: lmao

sent from the depths of hell
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Swype is easier to use with a bigger screen lol. Like the x. The eris is just to small lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
The Lions won a game? Yay!! lmao
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i think its more green bay laid a egg hhaa just like this weekend when we add them to the almost but not yet list lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
I don't generally flash the gapps...only if there seems to be an issue. Latest version which I get from CyanogenMods site.
[Droid Eris Android Development] revthwack:
Even with all the talk about issues with the new market I decided to try it. Flashed the rom, then before rebooting flashed the green market from the first post... thing works like a charm. Smoother and more responsive than the old one ever was for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i just dont understand bro,, this doesnt seem to be that widespread and im tryin to figure it out,, im gunna be without my laptop for a few dayz but ill get back to it bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] sungal:
hahaaa :eek: no comment.... :p

I'm an HTC kind of a girl ;) and hey, the Eris screen is bigger than the one on my pink blackberry pearl! :)

lol shed! Hopefully the Red Wings won't be winning tomorrow night when they play the Blackhawks!! haha!! :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Agreed... but they still won, right? lol, more like you're just trying to get under my skin ... but I'm not a Lions fan, so I don't know why you try ;)

Thank you for reporting that. I'm tired of seeing the opposite, it works fine!! lol

... HA! They're going down, again! It should be a good game either way, original six's usually are :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Boston bruins all the way to the cup:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Lmao, it 'could' happen... but it won't :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea i believe it will this yr lol:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
No rush bro...I don't understand it myself:confused: Tried another reinstall after full wipe...several apps will not install or update without a manual delete: YouTube (I get that one), Facebook, Google Search, Voice Search. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.

But I am on your most excellent V3.0!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] sungal:
I hope not! lol I have to be honest, I'm rather disappointed in them so far though, they really f**cked up a good thing here :confused:

yea, I'm with him... it won't!! :p lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
we have a better chance then his red wings and ur blackhawks ? lol we will see in the end :p we will have the sb , nba title, world series, and stanley cup :p:D well maybe not all but we will rule sports this and next yr:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] itbedave:
I think I figured out why my wife's Eris wasn't working with Tazz's Floyo v8 or v9 ROMs - until I caught up on the thread tonight with all the football banter, I for some reason never made the "Patriot" connection. THAT would explain my problems! :-P

P.S. If we pull out a win this weekend over the Jags and our guys get healthy...Peyton will be passing through N.E. on his way to the Superbowl...again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yup or u could just look at my avatar :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
dude ill get it fixed for ya bro , first i gotta find out y ur haven issues hahaa ,, when i get my laptop back ill see if the new update fixes ur issues bro:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
y does everyone have excuses? just bout all our defence are rookies ,, 3 or four are rookies on our offense maybe more ,,

how bout this for a if ? if the refs spotted the ball correctly , u never woulda had a superbowl at all bro lol pats got screwed bro, but its about the now , not the past:D
