So if I'm on my Dad's plan and my phone is a sub account, then he is the primary (or main account as you put it)? I would like to get the Thunderbolt when it comes out, but my two years isn't up until December. From what I'm understanding, my dad can upgrade to the Thunderbolt for the reported $150 contract price and an additional $20 fee for early 13 month upgrade? Hmmm, Dad isn't interested in upgrading; he know how to use his Eris now and doesn't like a lot of change. Wondering how I can take advantage of this situation and get his early upgrade for my cell number.

Sorry for OT, but really not much else to talk about while waiting for the next ROM upgrade. Thanks to all for keeping my Eris interesting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
you should be able to do that as that is what i did, you just have to switch the numbers around to the right phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
You don’t even have to switch numbers. You can just transfer the upgrade from the primary line to the other one on my verizon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Scott586:
Thanks for the info guys, this makes me VERY happy! I'll update to let you know how it goes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
lol im in my new contract til next march 2012 ,, or something like that,, im six months in my new contract ,, started 7-15 when got my dx,, *****ed about the phone not working the way i want and need it to,,, well in a few dayz ill have the TB :D without extending my contract another 2 yrs ahah
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
How do some people get so lucky... when I complained about my Erii blowing speakers over and over, all they did was offer to let me use my early upgrade to pay for an iPhone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cmajpwc:
Probably because the iPhone didn't sell anywhere as close to as good as they had hoped :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
they told ,me i could chose any android i wanted ,,, tried to make me get a inc ,, i told them nfw lol i told them i wanted the TB

they were like u ,, u cant have the iphone tho,, i said well ,, first off iphone aint android ,, second,, i dont want that POS anywayz lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] akajeeves:
New commits!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] loveoffroading:
If you go into verizon with your dad you can so call "steel" others upgrades that are on the same plan, that is how I got the eris when it first came out
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
That was before it was released, maybe even before the pre-order. They just assumed everybody and their mother wanted that thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
loll i was told they delayed the TB so people who got the iphoney couldnt switch within 14 dayz lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Yeah, it looked like just a merging of the FAQ, but then again, that was a few hours ago and I didn't look past the main page. Still, something is better than nothing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
No FAQ merge, just that fix I tried to do back in the day for MMS. So no need to flash the MMS fix.
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Ah, very good, real progress :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Yeah, it was just the mms fix. I'm trying to merge in everything ive got in a somewhat sane manner :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Does this mean KGB v8 is almost finished !?!

So excited i'm about to pee !!! LOL j/k
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
We have V8 already........
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
kaos, you werent the first to come out with a honeycomb rom, WHATS GOING ON HERE!?!?! lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Lol no that's why I said "almost finished" :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
No we definitely have V8..... Next is 9...........

[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
LOL, ok let me rephrase that. Yes.......yes we do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
HuHey guys just read some of the posts about early upgrades. Just to let you know, there have always been early upgrade fees if you were a primary line and wanted to upgrade between months 13 and 20 of your contract. After Jan 16th though, they put everyone on a level playing field. Now if you are a primary or a secondary line, you must wait till your 20 month mark to receive any discount and everyone gets the same price. If you haven't used your early upgrade yet though, you still get it this last time. Just thought I would share.

But to check to see if you are due one, just call the local store.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
uh...when did that happen? Are you sure you don't mean "...you were the first to come out with a Gingerbread rom..."? It'd make way more sense...

oh, just took a look at the name on the comment. I feel dumb now. :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] empathyislost:
i wish kaos was working on the new LG Optimus V for Virgin Mobile. it's an underdog like the Eris right out of the gate. i love his roms and will miss them. :-/ but i just bought a house so we need to cut back on luxury expenses, and can't afford to be ripped off by verizon anymore. $25/mo for 300 minutes, unlimited text and data and the Android experience on sprint's network is just too good to pass up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
lol, i was reading this article Honeycomb on the nexus

im liking the look of it and cant wait for the Dinc rom to advance

Video Here
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pokelover980:
I pay $50 a month on Verizon for 1400 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data and BestBuy Insurance, which pretty much covers any damage my phone could take. I'm on a family plan, though, so the 1400 minutes are shared, though all five people on our plan combined don't even come close to using that many minutes a good chunk of the time (every few months someone might use a lot of minutes or we'll all use a lot of minutes and come close to 1400, so that's why we have it :P). If I dropped insurance, I'd be at $40 or so. $10 a month for the line (which is minutes and texts), $10 a month for insurance, $30 a month for unlimited data. I don't find it a big ripoff, especially since Verizon is the only carrier that covers where I live (when we had Sprint, I never had a phone that would get service anywhere in my town. With T-Mo, I could never get service within at least a half-mile radius of my house, and it had poor coverage in a lot of places I went).
[Droid Eris Android Development] kerfex:
Only on Family Plan

I have and individual plan, 450 min unlimited everything else. No insurance, thast 126.00 a month. If virgin mobil was in Vermont , I would be all over it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Scott586:
I am on the 1400 minute family plan with zero texting and zero insurance with my parents (3 Eris's total) and it's $207 per month total. That's $69 each. Too much if you ask me, but I'm stuck for another 8 months. Sounds like you've got a case of fuzzy math. I'm guessing your parents are subsidizing part of your bill.

My brother who is not on Verizon just got his Virgin Mobile Optimus V yesterday for $25/month. I like my Eris, but it's not worth $828 per year. Workshed's GSB 1.6 has eased the pain some, thanks workshed!
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
It is definitely not $10 for the primary line. It's $10 for each additional line.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
FWIW, shouldn't we be talking about missing kaos and his un-updated gingerbread rom and not phone plans?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
he isn't missing, just working on some other projects. yesterday, he posted that he was working on cleaning up the github for this project. people are just chatting to pass the time until he posts another update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Folks need something - anything - to "hold the terrible silence at bay". LOL
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
True, but if he's the sub account and doesn't have to pay a percentage, then it's totally possible he only pays $50/month. Personally, on my family plan we all pay a third of the cost of minutes/texts and data is on each of us individually. I pay like $86/month($30 for data), and I know I'm getting ripped off. Just waiting out that contract to shop around and either go somewhere with a better deal or see if I can negotiate a better deal here with the threat of leaving for Sprint.

Also to keep it on the front page. I don't think it'll be too long, though. He's very openly been working on CM7 for the fascinate, which should help him get it up and running on the Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Pokelover980:
I'm not the primary line. Each person pays for their line's cost. Mine is $10 for the line, $30 for data, and $10 for insurance. Our total bill for each month comes to around $200. I'm the only one with unlimited data, my sister has the email data plan or whatever it is (the incredibly small amount of data a month), my brother and dad both have regular lines, and my mom is the primary line. We all have insurance, as well. My calculations are probably a small amount off and I never really look at the bill, so you can probably give or take $20 from the amount I'm guessing.

And to be back on topic, I can't wait until Kaos updates. I've been use GSB in the mean time because I can't live without the camera or the stability it provides :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] spm139:
No more Eris.....

So I dropped my Eris last night and shattered the screen...so new phone for me!...no KGB for me then :mad:

Trying to figure out what phone I should get or let my wife upgrade now and take her Eris...and then I can upgrade later this summer (she is eligible for early upgrade, I must wait).

Really wanted to try KGB, so I may have to take my wife's Eris, because she will not let me experiment with her phone!
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
I know, I totally missed the boat on that one! Its the first Android release ever that I can't call first on!

Actually my son was sick the day it came out and I totally missed it being released until yesterday :(

Kaosfail. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] ivorycruncher:
*gives kaos a cookie*

Don't worry about it. It's not supposed to be a smartphone OS anyway, and family always comes first. :) I hope your kid gets well soon.

Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
[Droid Eris Android Development] natemup:
is that to say there's a Honeycomb ROM for the Eris floating around right now?!?!?
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
no, its only in alpha on the nexus and incredible and a few others, a lot of work to get it on our phone, watch my video it my last post
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I think it's because he couldn't decide between doing it for the Eris or the Fascinate :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
My new money pit!

Sold my DX and dInc. KGBFTW!
[Droid Eris Android Development] mech_egr:
Does this mean the prodigal son returnith to kaos? :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Hopefully. And hopefully I can come back to oj kaos myself. I do miss it. Sic music player, stock black cm theme,.on cm 7,with his speed and battery tweaks. Would never leave again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnston9234:
has kaos announced leaving this rom yet? i havent checked in a while.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Guy just moved, new job, kid got sick, and a whole bunch of other issues. He has a life outside of the Droid Eris. Be patient, and if you really can't wait on a Gingerbread ROM I suggest GSB.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Or you can rock the Tazz GB.:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
all this waiting is kind of a good way to weed out the people who ask for updates as they probably just leave instead of sticking around like all us loyal fans
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
I am excited to wait. Love what im using now but always wonder about this one everytime i come on here specially when i see a new post. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Every time I glance at this thread I think excitedly, "Wait, what v# was that at yesterday?" and then I'm disappointed when I realize it still hasn't changed. But I always have hope that one day it will say v9.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
heh, yeah....

the only way I can find the Eris forum quickly is to google search "kaosgingerbread" and go from there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
easier way is to go to your subscribed posts in your control panel and just favorite that webpage

go to your control panel/left hand side go to list subscriptions, boom, all the threads you visit most, and delete the ones you dont view often
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I was meaning from a just opened browser browser. So...how I get to xda-developers/Droid Eris/Droid Eris Development
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
You can just bookmark the site
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Hey guys. I had a, strange question. I have freaking dust in my screen. Is calling big red better than going in to get a new eris. I mean I sorta love this phone... But if they throw a dinc at me....a camera with flash would be nice.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Why not see if you can get a Thunderbolt out of them ;) (When is it supposed to finally come out?)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
just set it to a favorite, or put it in the other section of favorites so its not actually on screen at the top, im using chrome by the way

you cant get there from subscription page so you would need 2 fav buttons or just go to htc in the find device pull down menu
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Personally, I would call them. I doubt they have replacements in many stores and, if that's what they push on you, you'll have to unroot to show them the phone, reroot to make it liveable until the replacement shows up, then reunroot to send it in. Maybe not a big deal, but more hassle than I would want to deal with.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
My luck isn't THAT good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Speaking of un rooting, got a link to flashback?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mech_egr:
I'd call them and just act really irritated and say you are extremely disappointed in the phone. (Be kind to the PERSON handling the call though).

That's how I got a Dinc
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
http://db.tt/CawZfHZ here you go man
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
I never feel right doing that (i'm on my fourth due to blown speakers) because, since rooting, I absolutely love this phone. Almost feels like bad mouthing your best friend.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
That's how I got a dx six months ago and a tb whenever it decides to come out

sent from my perfect eris ..fueled by Red Sox Nation
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
finally talked my boss into rooting and installing Gingerbread. I talked him into GSB, but the new update is funky and black screens when it boots. I talked him into KaosFroyo though(worked like a charm!), but now he wants a Kaos+Gingerbread rom! Told him I'd ask for an update, so....any news?

(yeah...breaking one of the rules I'm usually enforcing, but it's for a friend who pays me money, so...)
[Droid Eris Android Development] obermayerm:
I like the blender in the background! Are you slurping your way to that Turbo!
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
I've been hidiously sick this week, and have done basically no dev for anyone. I'm on the mend though so once I am I'll hopefully get back into the swing of things.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
It's all good man. Health definitely comes first. He's got enough new toys to play with jumping from stock to KaosFroyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Kaos speaks! Glad to see you talk in this thread again :-) hope you feel better soon
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Glad to hear you're feeling better.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
i blame the kids, wasnt one of them just sick lol. ITS ALL THEIR FAULT
[Droid Eris Android Development] ryanf:
just thought I would pop in and say hi! Kaos, you have a lot of new followers here in the eris forum. sorry guys I jumped ship long ago. Now I am On the fascinate and love it but my friend still has an eris that I rooted and put Kaos on. good luck with everything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
so my brother sold his eris today for 220 to an idiot kid on craigslist b/c it had froyo and working gingerbread on it at the same time lol, thanks for getting him extra money kaos
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
So your donating is what your saying ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
By the way p.k. my girls pregnant! So now Ive added another money pit on top of the rx7 lol :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
Well if you ever find the SOB let us know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
it was my brothers and he bought a new droid with it, sorry kaos :(

btw congrats on the pregnancy (that is if its a good thing :) )
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
Its my first, it's a great thing!

And beside I was only teasing about donating bro its always your choice. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
U understand what I'm thinking
[Droid Eris Android Development] Scott586:
Just curious how you manage to keep blowing speakers?
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Not sure, really. The first was external (which may have happened when I unplugged my headphones and the volume was near max) and earpiece speaker, the next two were earpiece speakers. I usually have the in call volume at max. But I do work in construction so it may just be dust getting in there. On one of them I tried cleaning it but that didn't help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
yeah i had a problem with trackball scrolling up for a while but it seems to have fixed itself so i cant get a replacement yet, probably going to wait and not make the same mistake of picking up the first 4g or dual core on the market like i did with the eris, even though it turned out good once i rooted
[Droid Eris Android Development] spm139:
That is where I am at. My wife gave up her Eris (though she now misses it), and I took it. We are going to wait to either a good deal is out there, or wait till our August upgrade. I do not want an "old" phone, but I would like one that has been out long enough to understand it and have evolved a good developer community.

I would benefit from 4G, but do not need it. Who knows where things will be in two years, so I probably will wait for the new 4G phones and hopefully by then Google will have released Ice Cream (sandwich).
[Droid Eris Android Development] formerflyboy:
I hate to say it but depending on how Verizon prices their data package tiers I may have to go back to a dumb phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnston9234:
i will probably go to another phone if i dont see this rom updated. I know there are others out but i find Kaos to be a wonderful dev and i doubt i will find another rom at this standard.

ill probably move to the thunderbolt :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Yorb:
I'm thinking of upgrading to a gbread ROM, but it looks like there are at least 3 out there. Coming from kaosfroyo, I guess I'm a little predisposed to this one, but it looks like its falling behind in terms of updates. What's you guys' honest recommendation? I went with KF cause it was kinda the obvious front runner in froyo roms. I can't see an obvious choice here.

Thanks. :) and I hope you feel better, kaos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I've been using GSB for the last few weeks and I like it just fine. I haven't tried Ginger Tazz though. But as soon as Kaos kicks the plague and gets CM7 sorted out, I'm going to be all over KGB.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I like tazz its pretty and the thread is equally active to what kf was. Though if you're a loyalist the last kf is really only marginally slower, with comparable battle life. Just not quite as many fringe benefits
[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
Im considering the same thing. My only other option is if prepaid options get better. So far prepaid options have android phones but not great ones. But id love to just continue with a smartphone and use free wifi teethering so u can use a tablet anyehwre.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Kraken on the bus

found this on Reddit tonight. We should have had this ages ago when Froyo(and thus KaosFroyo) was all the rage. Way better than the other Kraken, IMHO.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
That's awesome! Give it some time, I'm sure it will be useful again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] truelove79:
GSB is really good and is updated often. Its fast and stable.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:
I use to have KaosGingerbread v8 and it was great but the lack of updates is what made me transfer to Tazz Gingerbread v11 which is great but i hate how it doesn't come with the stock gingerbread launcher. But yeah.....how to I add an avatar jw?
[Droid Eris Android Development] macman159:
Look for androidify on the marketplace
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
The reason the gingerbread launcher has been removed was for some reason it significantly slowed down the phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
+1 this Rom is still alive & kicking sometimes sleeping. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
its not our fault the bugs have been worked out and no one has Q's or problems,

for now, we wait
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Well, they have questions, but we can only stand being asked "why there no flash" oh so many times.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Very true. Good things come to those who wait. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
one and done then KRACKEN comes
[Droid Eris Android Development] dpiddy14:
Yep it is the waiting game with this ROM, but good things do come to those who wait. From what I see Kaos has been busy over at the Fascinate section with his Rom there!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
when flashing this rom, is it needed to still flash the gpapps.zip after too?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
That's addressed in the top of the FAQ located on the first page and in various posters signatures.

A direct answer: yes, it is currently still needed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
damnit. researchFAIL.

total noob question from me and i apologize.

Blaqbook.com

Kaos! can i do an article on you and your work for Blaqbook.com? I just started adding in my 2 cents and writing reviews and articles for them beings that there was no tech section until earlier today ;) I want to write an article about how handset manufacturers are neglecting there customers after having such a short shelf life. And i want to include how developers like you and tazz and Chevy and koush and so on and so forth are keeping things alive and moving fast in the background.

email me

sjflowerhorn@gmail.com if you or anybody else has anything that they believe should be added into an article along those lines please feel free to drop me a line. Make sure you subject it something with XDA and your handle so i know who to thank.
