I agree with being concerned as well. I am glad that kaos is able to help other people out but maybe someone could talk to him and quote him on how he is doing and what he may be working on for this and froyo?

I know that there probably wont be much olf an update to do on the froyo rom but at least on here maybe he could let us know of a estimated date on when the camera and other things that still need work on them will be you know worked on, the camera not working is one of the reasons why I am still waiting to switch over to this myself. I am not trying to complain I am genuinely concerned.

I understand he has a life besides the phones and I respect that, it just would be nice to at least see one update post even if its not by him and not keep being told to just wait.

Someone needs to get a mod over here. And the people dogging on kaos for not pleasing there every need should be banned. I'm not getting worked up or mad, its just disappointing that the people trolling have nothing better to do. Go talk to some girls or something.

Ill clean this and handle this
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Okay guys,

XDA is not for flaming a bickering like what we have seen today. Developers here work hard and do not OWE you anything. We should be thankful for what Kaos has done for the Eris and not be bashing him for taking breaks here and there. Kaos has only been gone for 2 weeks, he has given a lot to this community and I think more appreciation needs to be given to him. This device is nearly 2 years old and we've gotten a lot out of this.

Anymore bickering will be dealt with accordingly by myself or another mod.

I did some more research into the verizon trade in program for those interested. I talked to a vzw rep and he told me that it doesn't matter if the phone is rooted. Good news there.

I've not abandoned anything guys, I'm trying to get the Fascinate rolling like I did for the Eris. They didn't have any custom roms at all, now they do.

Like I said on my twitter, I'm compiling the CM7 frameworks for the Eris right now. It just takes a bit.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Thank you punk.kaos I hope you don't feel at all daunted by the few. I'd like to believe there are far more of us here who have peeked into the coding and been both horrified and overwhelmed with appreciation for what you are able and willing to do. I think that's why we tend to so violently retaliate. Much love for KGB :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayzeroeee:
Haters gonna hate, Kaos. Don't let them get you down. Keep up the good work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nixternal:
Dude, it is just insane, you give up on us for the Fascinate? OMG! WTF? BBQ!

OK, I was just having some fun there, as I knew what you were up to. Anyways if I can be of assistance, you can hit me up here or twitter. Keep on rockin' homeskillet!

Ya gotta let PK do what he wants to do guys....absolutely no reason to be ungrateful...remember, we have a little piece of Eris in our pockets that operates like a champ...PK owes us nothing....be grateful...
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
if anything we owe him some more donated coffee funds for keeping our phone alive, although my custom Dinc is slightly better, sad to say that stock, it was slower on ui stuff than my eris. sense shouldnt suck that much out of a 1ghz phone

I'm gonna miss you guys. I bought a Continuum today out of frustration.

I'm gonna hang on to my Eris for a little while longer, but I think I need the trade-in money more than need the pleasure of using the fruit of all of the Eris' devs wonderful labor.

You're all awesome folk, and the Eris is TOTALLY the underdog of the android world.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
I apoligize for what i said as well. Thank u kaos for all you have done. Im so glad you helped others.

Thank you also for a update. I didnt mean my comment as an annoyance as all.

Hey now! 15 months, not 24 months! Don't start putting nails in its' coffin yet!

I'm reminded of that black plague scene from that Monty Python flick - wheelbarrows of dead and discarded cellphones being hauled off to a mass grave, and the little Eris hollering, "I'm not dead yet!"

Gingerbread dead? Haven't seen an update in a long while ... just pictures of Leviathan ..

sarcasm???
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Kaos is the only reason this phone is still in my hand right now. YOU ROCK DUDE! I'm going to be making some roms for the eris in the coming weeks. I will probably bring back TheCookieRom and will start on TheGingerbreadMan very soon, I want KaosGingerbread to stabilize before I go to work on that. I may get a ThunderBolt very soon and when that happens, I will be able to do more rom work with the eris. I hate doing dev work because people get annoyed when I am testing a rom and can't call then because it bootlooped. Now I have no worries and I am going to try to learn more about kernels and how deeper system things work. I really want to master android. If I master android like Kaos and BTFB0, I can do whatever I want without a tut or someone's help. My skills right now are limited to intermediate rom editing and basic porting jobs. If anyone who knows more than me would like to speed up my learning process then be sure to PM me.

Sorry for the long and rambly post,

[Droid Eris Android Development] jsmith.98:
I agree... PK and Devs like him have turned my Eris into something 10x better than it would've been. We should be grateful for what we have and be considerate of the people who make it possible!

If you don’t like the frequency of PK's updates (and can't respect what he's doing for the Fascinate) you can write your own rom, use another one, or flash the linked one...

FlashBack21_v1.zip

THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY ERIS PUNK.KAOS!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
i really think that if companies wanted better phones they should seek out these devs ( i know PK already works on android for his work) the devs versions of roms really are the future of android and should be made into the stock options, allow an app to DL the newest rom choices and then with each update it DL the newest version like a stock update. if they really want to pull ahead it customization this is the best way to go. i mean the stock eris and Dinc suck so bad that i wanted a new phone. only reason i got the dinc is cause it was from my brother. if it were made easier for people and phones came Pre-rooted cause the people that dont take the time wont mess with phone anyways and we will root one way or another eventually
[Droid Eris Android Development] knitpurlgurl:
Companies (carriers) don't want better phones that customers won't let go of for 2 years. They want to sell you new phones every 6 months. Thankfully there are devs out there who want to get the most out of their phone like we do. Personally, I cannot justify spending $600 every 6 months for the latest, great phone. I want a phone that works and receives regular updates until my 2 yr contract is void. (Okay, stop laughing!!)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
im in the same position, but it would be nice if they did do it. and the roms would go way faster with a team working on it instead of just one man/machine(kaos).

phone prices should not be more than a computer and its ridiculous the amount of people that do go out and spend that 500 every 5 months cause they dont know how to work with what they got
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
FlashBack21_v1.zip

Rather than provide a new download link to existing ROMs, please refer people back to the original thread (using a URL) in which the ROM was announced. Doing what you did (above) prevents people from seeing valuable instructions, file checksum information, or potentially alerting them of new changes, hazards to be aware of, etc.

Don't get me wrong - I understand you were simply trying to be helpful; and there are indeed times when a new download link can be needed (for instance if the original DL link is dead), but even in that case, the right place to disclose the new link is in the original thread.

OK, now back to the regularly scheduled programming :)

[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
The support angle for the carriers would be overwhelming if they officially "sanctioned" developer ROMs - look how many revisions of Froyo ROMs for the Eris it took before everything was more or less "stable".

There are a few scraps of evidence that suggest that some handset makers (HTC) actually want an active after-market "hacker/modder" community, but they need to tiptoe around that carefully - they don't want to piss off the US carriers, who get you to sign up for new contracts by dangling a shiny new phone in front of you. And, of course, they would themselves prefer to sell you a new handset every six months, too - as opposed to providing software updates and support ad nauseum... for zero incremental revenue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mech_egr:
Another important note is that root is a double edged sword. It keeps the less technically inclined from causing major software damage to their phones. Prerooting would cause no end of problems for people that wanted it but didn't know their way around android or didn't do their reading.
[Droid Eris Android Development] empathyislost:
wow. sounds like some ridiculousness happened recently in here.

how could anyone complain? i'd be happy with KFv39 on my eris into the unforseeable future. it's a life saver and seems perfectly complete as it is :)

that said, i wonder if kaos will focus more on KGB since KF seems to be done!
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
People dont have anything better to do. I got caught up in the drama truth id I love how much better my phone is because of kaos. Sure its not updated daily because its not needed. The roms are great. Thank u kaos for making my phone life again @ least til june. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
June.. I'm in untill December, I jave to wait 18 months for some ungodly reason. I don't think the phone will physically survive that long... but if it does I got the best OS around :-D
[Droid Eris Android Development] kerfex:
Me too. I love my Eris. I have never had any problems with it. And Since I am in Vermont, 4g will not be up here for a while. So I will Keep on Truckin' with my Eris. And I know eventually KASO will be back n Gingerbread for ERIS and I am glad he is helping out other phoines. That is just friggin awesome if you ask me. I go back and forth between KAOS Froyo and GB.

Thank you KAOS and may you life be blessed and Long!

I'm still unable to get this rom running well I can get the rom installed and booted but no gapps anyone able to help me here? My gapps, the 12/28 one, will not install on kgb nor any other rom. Same md5 as was posted a few pages back. I downloaded both twice to make sure it wasn't a bad download but nothing
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
I know this may sound dumb, but are you flashing gapps immediately after you flash the rom? Just thought I'd double check to make sure that you hadn't missed that detail.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
if you are indeed flashing immediately after the rom and its still not working, try an earlier one
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
other users have also reported that flashing v6, then moving to v8 worked better for them. Maybe try that if the 12/18 version doesn't stick.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
I asked the above question a few days ago in the froyo forum and was wondering anyones thoughts in here. Thank you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Do you mean flashing v6 the gapped then v8 without rebooting? Or v6 gapps rebooting then flashing v8
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
just flash v8 and this gapps (below) immediately w/o rebooting

http://db.tt/FY6pZZd
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I'd try wiping, flashing v6+gapps(immediately after of course), and seeing if it boots w/ gapps successfully installed. If it does, go back into recovery and(without wiping) flash v8 on top of it. Lemme know if it ends up working for you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Kay I need to redownload v6 first
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I flash them right after and it normally boot loops when I wait to flash it loads but there are no gapps
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
I tried nand backing up ginger bread v8 then restoring to kaosfroyo to use gps. Now I can't get my ginger bread restore to work without boot loops... I can't even wipe and do a fresh install then recover... ever since nand backup I get odd glitches and issues.

I'm waiting for v9 then I'll try a fresh install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
I believe this has been discussed before and is a known issue. Just remember to check the FAQ.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Okay so flashing v6 then gapps then flashing to v8 works but market wont load... if I dalvik before the v8 it removes the gapps
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
I meant flashing the 12/28 on the froyo version sorry for any confusion.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I've tried flashing the 12/28 gapps on celbfroyo and they didn't show up
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Really now that makes no sense
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
There have been various issues with gapps 12/28. I have heard that flashing 12/18 then 12/28 over it works. But i just flashed 12/18 and its been working well for me. Just remember to flash the ROM then immediately flash the gapps before you boot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
nope not there... its no big deal. i will try with v9

I had turned on bluetooth before I nand backed up... it was on for the backup and when i restore its there of course. I can't explain why, but I have a nagging feeling it is the bluetooth being on when I backed up that got me.

:Sadface:

i just flashed this ROM yesterday and it's beautiful!!! after the AutoKiller App it runs so quickly and smoothly! much faster than the Froyo roms i've used. the camera doesn't work but it said that on the FAQ so no worries. the only thing that makes me sad is i want to flash the ChangetoVZW file but there is no USB connectivity on my phone now :( i plug it in, and it charges... but theres no options on the phone for mounting it... it's not a big issue really it would just feel more complete if my phone said Verizon Wireless instead of T-CDMA 64... other than that... Gingerbread is sooo sexy!!! ty kaos!!!! we love you!!

p.s. Why does the 'angry' post icon look... not angry??? lol CANT WAIT FOR V9!! (although i think its awesome what you're doing for the fascinate. even though i think samsung sucks. i'm done now... >.> :o
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
There's three work arounds for this mentioned in the FAQ.

(edit)Then again...those are buried in questions about other things and not obvious at a glance. No biggie on missing it. I'll try to make it clearer on there(/edit).
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Here's a really random idea: try pulling the market.apk from the GApps zip, putting it on the SD card for your phone, enabling installation of unknown source apps under Settings->Applications, open up Astro/Es File Explorer/whatever, and open the .apk like that. I have no idea if that method would even work, but it'd be worth a shot. I've never actually tried something like that with an actual google app.

oh wow thanks! i saw mount/map but i was never sure what that meant. i saw the word 'map' and thought gps for some reason lolol ty for the super quick response!!!! i'm installing multi mount right now. hopefully it works so i can try that apk fix without having to restore nandroid backup and reflash heh.so much for 'measure twice cut once' i just get too excited about android xD

[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
I found out something really odd yesterday that I thought I would share for information's sake.

In the Froyo ROM's, I never had an issue making a phone call. Then all of a sudden with Gingerbread, certain contacts seemed not to work. If I dialed a number directly, it worked fine.

So, in an effort to attempt to find out what was going on, I exported all of my google contacts to a .csv file and started to investigate. A *long* time ago (probably on 2.1), I had downloaded an app from the market that promised to 'fix' all of my contacts so they had the same phone number format - +1 111 111 1111. Also, through several merges of duplicates, I had numbers like the following:

+1 111 111 1111 ::: (111) 111 1111

I went through the .csv file and corrected all of the entries to only contain the one number format WITHOUT the +1 in front and now I can finally call from my contacts again :)

what worked the mounting problem or the gapps problem, and for the above question, you cant extract the apk and install that way, you must flash immediately after flashing 8, here is a link for working gapps

it is the 12/20 because i have had problems with the 12/28 and i dont notice a dif between the two, correct me if there are any big difs
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
the mounting problem. i downloaded that app from the market and it force mounted usb. i was going to do that first because it was easiest... and well... i'm lazy. ^^ lol i would have done gapps if it didn't work but it did.... xD yay!

You're lucky Koas is as patient as he is, if it were me having to put up with comments like yours, I'd stop development for a week on that alone. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to things handed to you for free.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] provicemo:
So I've got a handful of audio files I need to copy to /system/media/audio/notifications and /system/media/audio/ringtones every time I flash a new ROM (even upgrade).

I do this since I often have my SD card mounted (car/desk/etc), and if I do, I get the terrible system beep ringtone/notification, since my N1 can't find the configured sound file.

How would I go about creating a flashable zip that would install those files to the correct location, rather than doing it manually each time?
