There is no way this phone would still be as useful as it is without these ROMS.

It amuses me to no end when some one comes up to me at work with their Droid X and are asking where a setting is and I pick up my dinky little Eris and start exploring the 2.2 menus. I almost immediately get asked how I did that.

To which I reply "By rooting my phone and loading a custom ROM".

The follow up is frequently. "Can you do it to mine ? To which I chuckle and say "Nope, better not. You can easily find out how, but your on your own."

PRICELESS !!! So hats off guys, for making my phone last through so much more of my contract.

I raise my glass of wine to you all!

Thank you letter from former Eris Owner

I would like to thank every Dev that are making these roms. Even though I was able to get Verizon to replace my Eris with a Droid 2, I will still keep an eye on the work you guys are doing. Thanks to you guys, I wasn't stuck with a slow phone for the past 10-11 months.

I hope other former Eris owners will also give you guys thanks, because you guys definitely deserve it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] smokedkill:
Happy thanksgiving guys. I made a thread for former Eris owners to thank you guys and I hope all of us do thank you. I still remember being able to update to Android 2.1 because of you guys. The Eris will always hold a special place in my heart thanks to you guys.

Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. Never expected to learn so much about Android when I first walked out of the Verizon store with the Eris. Definitely did not know what an I/O scheduler was. XDA is one of the few places to get accurate information on Android modifications. Sometimes, usually after clicking a redirected link to phandroid, I come here just to reassure myself that it exists and the world is still sane. Many thanks to everyone who helped optimize and customize our little phone.

Update: 2010.11.29

This issue appears to affect all unlocked Froyo devices on the Rogers network. It MAY affect all Froyo devices, regardless of network lock status, but we have been unable to confirm this (yet) on the only Froyo device locked to Rogers - The Acer Liquid e.

There are currently 4 threads (that I am aware of) scattered around XDA. As this problem affects multiple devices I will start posting updates in the General Discussion/Q&A thread, and will stop posting updates here. If you are looking for more information, please refer to:

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

Greetings.

Sometime about two weeks ago my i9000m began to fail to find my location using the Rogers network. WiFi and GPS location both still work.

The phone is able to find my location using the network for a brief time after flashing a ROM, but then, sometimes after one restart, sometimes after an hour, and sometimes after approx. 24 hours, it is unable to find the location any more. If I am a little vague about the precise events after which the phone ceases to find locations it is because:

1. As long as I don't change location, the phone reports that it has found the location, so I have to move some distance to diagnose failure.

2. Some time or event has to elapse/occur before failure. I don't think that it's app installation, and I know that it's not system modification (deletion of apps in /system/app or adding/deleting files in /system/media/audio). It MIGHT be phone restart.

3. This is my primary phone, so I can't afford to take it out of service for extended periods of time for testing.

I don't have a logcat yet, but one is included in this thread (in a place where it likely isn't getting much attention):http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845152

I THINK that Bell SIM cards work (it worked first time when i popped it in my unlocked i9000M - after Rogers failed), but I haven't been able to conduct a long trial.

Rogers SIM cards do not work: not the old one, and not the one that I got an hour ago.

I haven't yet been able to try the new Rogers SIM in the phone after a flashing a clean OS.

Is anyone else experiencing network location problems (on Rogers or another network)?

Does anyone have any idea how to correct the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Not sure what it can be

but I'm on FIDO and network location still works fine.

try wiping the phone in Recovery Mode

both data and cache (factory reset format)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantus:
Here's an update:

i9000M + Rogers SIM + wipe (cache, factory, dalvik) = fail to find location

i9000M + Rogers SIM + wipe + flash Doc_V1.1_Bell I9000UGJK3 = finds and tracks location

BUT... fails (network location temporarily unavailable) after first restart (absolutely nothing else changed)

Bold 9000 + Rogers SIM = success

i9000M + Bell SIM = success, every time (app installs, restarts, etc.)

Colour me baffled. It's as if the phone itself doesn't want to work with Rogers (or vice versa).

logcat(s) attached for a failed Rogers attempt and a successful Bell attempt. I think that there's a key entry in the Bell logcat at line 9651, but I couldn't find anything obvious in the Rogers output. Does anyone know how to use this stuff to diagnose the problem? I'm almost ready to ditch this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantus:
And one more bit of information...

For some reason, when I flash back to UGJG8 or UGJH2 I lose the ability to connect to ANY network, no matter what SIM card I use.

*#*#4636#*#* indicates that the radio is on, though the network type is usually set to unknown.

None of the other service menus seem to work properly - black screen, or data fields are empty.

Unless someone helpful has a bright idea, it looks like I'm taking this phone back to Bell for service (or to the garbage).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantus:
Bumping and updating.

This may be important to others. It appears that the network location failure is related to the combination of Rogers' network and either (or both) Froyo and network unlocked phones. There is a functional workaround (stopping google framework services and clearing data and caches), but it's really kinda crappy if you have to repeat it frequently.

Anyway, anyone thinking to use an unlocked or Froyo android device on Rogers' network beware; if you want to use network location, anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchud:
Well, I know there is a fair-sized community of i9000m users using Rogers on these forums. No one else currently has this issue?

Can we get anyone to confirm that they are using an unlocked Froyo phone on Rogers and do have network location capability?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantus:
Really all we need to confirm is:

Network?, OS?, Problem?

Rogers Tech support indicated that they have Froyo devices running without reported problems, but I have my doubts. As far as I know Rogers hasn't carried a device that will have an official Froyo build until the recent introduction of the Captivate and, as far as I know (again) none of the north american samsung galaxy S devices have an official Froyo build yet.

So, no official Froyo on Rogers, and until this month no high-end android devices. SO, any device with tis problem is likely to be unlocked.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantus:
Huh... I didn't think of that. I may have to eat my words.

Apparently the Acer Liquid e also runs Froyo. I guess that I now have two devices (locked to Rogers and running Froyo) I need to get my hands on.

Does anyone out there have access to either of those devices on Rogers? Can you test the network location?

Someone from Rogers stated they have not blocked any location services on unbranded devices. In addition, some one stated their friend has problems on their Liquid E

Could someone help walk me through this? I've decompiled/recompiled plenty of apks, however the framework-res.apk is being relatively stubborn. After recompiling the apk I get force closes in random areas of settings, etc.

I use apktool (as I need to edit an xml file's value), to decode, then build.

Are there any random steps I'm missing?

I've tried this over and over to get the same results everytime.

Someone said it is because of corrupted xml, and if so how do I prevent the problem from happening?

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Check out the theme guides in epic themes and apps forum, grab apk manager, the op says to decompile and recompile without making any changes as some apks can just be problematic and error. But you should be able to edit xmls (no pngs! Drag and drop after!) And recompile with no prob, use like notepad++ as windows notepad adds junk characters tat cause issues too.

for the most part the apps that are needed to make it all work are autostart and anycut so if u flash a rom and internet stops working just install those 2 n u should be fine

I like Viper's latest 2.2 rom...

But I also have a very good backup of the apps I normally use from Quantom's rom... and I would like to restore just the "Data"... but, as nature would have it, I have several apps (in some cases older versions) in the backup, that could possibly overwrite newer, better versions of the apps in Viper's rom. Will the data overwrite the newer apps, or will the older data skip past the newer data
[Epic 4G General] Streamline8:
Do two backups.

1. A backup with ALL your current information for safety in case of Install failure.

2. Reboot, and delete all your old stuff that you don't want to overwrite the new stuff on the ROM.

3. Do a new backup and use that data restore once you have installed the new rom with the newer programs.

Does this fix your problem?
[Epic 4G General] wphend00:
LOL, I was going to do that, but wanted to make sure that I did not need to...

I guess what I was going to do is

Backup all of the stuff from the new ROM..

Then clear Data, and then restore all of the stuff from the old backup...

then restore stuff from the newer backup...

If you're looking for more granular control of your restore, look at thread, "Expand a nandroid image file" here in epic development.

(VIDEOTONEZ-free)

Tired of traditional ringtones?

VIDEOTONEZ is a video ringtone app. How does it work? Someone calls and a music video clip pops up instead of the traditional ringtone that most of us are used to. Incase you're wondering, while the video/ringtone is playing you are able to view who's calling.

(LOOKOUT SECURITY-free)

This app helps protect any android running device from viruses, malware etc. How does it work? Everytime an app, music, video etc.is downloaded this app will scan to check for potential viruses, malware etc. This app can also give users the option to remotely wipe their device via internet.

(POWER AMP-trial)

This app is for users that use their phones as a music powerhouse. Power Amp is a music player that is more than a music player. It has both desktop and lock screen widgets for easy access to the player. Power Amp has a very powerful equalizer with pre amp. The UI is beautiful.

(ZEAM LAUNCHER-free)

Before I start, yes I'm aware of ADW and Launcher Pro! Unlike the two home launchers, ZEAM LAUNCHER has the least amount of settings but that doesn't mean that it can not/should not compete with the two. ZEAM LAUNCHER is very lightweight, not a memory hog and runs very smooth. I personally love ZEAM LAUNCHER'S UI out of the 2 I've mentioned. Try ZEAM LAUNCHER and be amazed!

(PICSAY PRO-not free)

Have you ever taken pictures with the myTouch Slide while using flash and noticed the evil red eye from hell? I have! PICSAY PRO will not prevent red eye, but it will fix the problem once red eye occurs. PICSAY PRO has many features, its like photoshop on a mobile phone. Ok, maybe not photoshop, but it has a lot of nice functions/options to edit photos.

(TUNE IN RADIO-free)

This app is one of my favorites because I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York, but I currently live in Maryland. I can now listen to NY radio stations without being in NY. How cool is that? If I lost or confused anyone this app is not limited to NY radio. Its global! THIS APP REQUIRES INTERNET/WIFI CONNECTION.

(SOUNDHOUND-free)

This app amazing. Have you ever heard a song on the radio, at the club, in a grocery store, at your grandmothers house, etc. and wanted to know who sings it/what's the name of the song? I know I have! SOUNDHOUND allows the user to find out those same questions. How does it work? Push the SOUNDHOUND button and put your phone near to a speaker

and SOUNDHOUND will locate the Artist name, song title, youtube video, lyrics and where the song/album can be purchased. THIS APP REQUIRES INTERNET/WIFI CONNECTION.

After trying a lot of the latest builds the only thing I can't seem to get working properly is the compass. It is not smooth and accurate like the like it is in WM.

After trying a few different compass apps I realised what was happening. Rather than using the compass sensor it seems to be using the g sensor. North actually follows the direction of tilt!

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hinky:
Yes, compass is a bit shaky.

However, it seems to get better when you play around some time with it or move it in a figure 8 pattern.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] siejones:
For me it is not a calabration issue. No matter how many times I figure of 8 it it never calibrates or aknowledges calibration. North exactly matches the direction of tilt every time regardless of the direction I have standing or rotation of the device.

I can't believe no one else has had this issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ugumba:
I'm right there with you. I just hadn't realized the strong correlation with tilt. I also feel the 'figure 8' improves the compass, but it is still unusable.

Hopefully, this is enough to make one of the devs look at the compass driver code, slap his/her forehead, change a '3' to '7', submit to git, and we'll all have perfect compasses within 2 days.

Here's to hopin' ! :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mariad:
This might help. Quote is Hastarin's.

NOTE: To get your compass working with r7+ you may need to do the following via adb shell (or GScript Lite), you will need to su:

killall akmd

mv /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt /data/misc/AK8973Prms.bak

Then restart your phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] siejones:
Sorry guys I missed your replies as this thread was unsubscribed for me.

I think this is on the right lines as the g sensor calibration fix seems to be related.

A couple of days back I nievely calibrated the g sensor. Realising my mistake I looked for the fix. I applied it and it worked. Yesterday I downloaded an app which had a feature that used the compass and it seemed to be working ok. I tried a compass app and low and behold it seemed to be accurate and no tilt behaviour.

Then just out of curiousity I tried to calibrate it and not only would it not aknowledge a calibration the the tilt behavior returned.

I did not try the g sensor reset fix again but I did reboot the phone and calibrate the compass in WM. Booting back into droid I found it was working again!

Interesting?

There is definitely some correlation between the compass and the g sensor and calibration of either.

ALSO, are the messages stored in a sequential file or database? IF SO, is there a way to access this file (or database) to copy or repair the existing structure?

I currently have Android 2.1 installed and it appears the SMS messages (or database) has some type of corruption which prohibits SMS BACKUP & RESTORE, or MY BACKUP or LOOKOUT or TITANIUM BACKUP from saving all my sms messages.

The developer of SMS BACKUP & RESTORE reviewed my LOG COLLECTOR file and said there is some corruption which is causing a DISK I/O error, and therefore I cannot save my messages.
