i am hestitant to switch to this rom just yet, is there a way to make my system be able to boot to multiple roms? and is there someone who would post a pic of what it looks like
[Droid Eris Android Development] libraryclg:
Just reposting the FAQ link: https://github.com/rougegoat/KaosGingerbread/wiki/KaosGingerbread-FAQ
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
just do a nand, and if you dont like it restore back to your nand backup
[Droid Eris Android Development] wierdo124:
Is this ready for full time use? what's still broken?
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
A pic of what? Theres a Team ADX thread that allows you to boot into 2.1 sense or AOSP/Cyanogen 2.2 with relative ease. Im on my phone otherwise i would post the link. Just look in the forum and youll find it. The only way for you to see what this gb looks like is to flash the ROM and take a look
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
I think whats working/not working is listed somewhere but i cant put my finger on it......
[Droid Eris Android Development] Caitto:
your have MMS as both known to work and known to be not working btw

please ignore i read further and spoke before i looked
[Droid Eris Android Development] Caitto:
I pic of what the gui looks like, i have seen people do it with other roms was curious if someone was able to here

ROTFLMFAO :D ..... I feel bad for our little pet KGB Leviathan - He has gotta be absolutely stuffed from devouring ALL THE CRAP that he has to feed on just from the last couple of days :D:D:D

WOW .... MY AMAZEMENT IN PEOPLE'S LAZINESS, or SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT, or LACK OF RESEARCH SKILLS, or LACK OF FUNDAMENTAL 'KNOW HOW', or MAYBE THEIR INABILITY TO READ or READ THOROUGHLY (if it's dyslexia, i do apologize, I mean NO disrespect :p) .... MY AMAZEMENT NEVER CEASES - ITS, MY FAULT FOR MY ASSUMPTION THAT RESPECT IS INSTILLED IN THE INDIVIDUAL & DEF. NOT SOMETHING THAT ONE NEEDS TO 'GOOGLE', riiiight ?! ....

** My post is intended for the ever growing 'SPECIAL NEEDS' members arriving daily in PK's KGB thread ! **

I mean, c'mon there are probably no less than 1 or 2 FAQ 'LINKS' PER PAGE, ALWAYS 1 ON THE OP ..... but I must not understand the newer members individual and/or situational needs OR deficiencies .... I just dunno anymore .... ?!?! PLEASE RESTORE MY FAITH, WITH RESPECT, SELFLESSNESS, PLEASES & THANK YOU's, FOLLOWING THE VERRRY FEW 'RECOMMENDED' GUIDELINES & SUGGESTIONS, PROVIDED TO NEW MEMBERS ON XDA's PROTOCOL ... IT'S FOR EVERYBODY'S BENEFIT !!!!

READING, RESEARCH, FAQ's, USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION .... THESE ARE NOT REQUIREMENTS, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF SANITY, DO IT JUST TO SHOW YOUR RESPECT FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE INVESTED MUCH TIME & EFFORT INTO MAKING EITHER THE ROM's OR MAKING VERY DETAILED & UP TO DATE FAQ's TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR THE NEWCOMER's ..... PERSONALLY, I READ THREADS/FORUMS FOR A SOLID MONTH BEFORE I EVER EVEN ASKED MY FIRST QUESTION - IT'S ALL ABOUT RESPECT !!!

SO NEW MEMBERS, PLEASE DO YOUR PART AND JUST READ .... THEN READ SOME MORE ... THEN SEARCH FOR MORE TO READ :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Hey Kaos, is there a chance you could put the link to the FAQ on the first post? It seems a lot of people refuse to do the logical thing and read through the posts, or at least read through the FAQ linked on the exact same page as they're posting. I keep it up to date, so accuracy shouldn't be a problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] C.Hatfield:
A HUUUUGE PLUS ONE on that idea Kaos !!! ... Maaaay-be put my (slightly frustrated) post from the bottom of the previous page, too ?!?! :D

[Droid Eris Android Development] kevitoNY:
nope not yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] elitenls:
This is how it happens when the FAQ isn't in the main thread, and people who are joining the forums have no idea what *alpha* *beta* and *testing* mean. :( At least the FAQ part is fixed (and is pretty much the only thing you can fix there).

Keep going PK, you're doing great!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisking:
:( ok thanks. cant wait till it is, not gonna stopme from flashing though. :) truly nice rom so far i've flashed v6 through 8 cant wait for the next.

Nand Gone

After playing with KGB for the weekend, I went to restore my nandroid backup of my last Froyo ROM and it was gone. I had about 6 nand backups and all but the most recent one were gone. My only thought is that my SD card was low on storage space and android removed them to make space. Is this possible? If it is you might want to make a backup of your nands just to be safe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I noticed something like this, but it was my camera pictures folder that was randomly deleted. Thought I was crazy and just didn't remember doing it since no one else reported random file/folder deletion.

curious....
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
No, Android will never remove files to 'make space'. It only deletes files that you tell it to.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Thanks Kaos!
[Droid Eris Android Development] vrienduinen:
Nand Gone

Good to know, but I have no idea how the files could have been deleted. Could an App have done it? Only other thing I can think of is that the SD card is bad. A good reminder to make backups.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stiltzkin:
This is purely cosmetic, and most of you have probably figured this out yourselves by now, but it's something you still might want to add to the FAQ (since it's in the KF FAQ and people will probably keep asking about it).

You can change the banner from "T-CDMA 64" to "Verizon Wireless "(or whatever you want) by saving this code as a file named eri.xml and pushing it to /data with adb.

<EriFile VersionNumber="1357" NumberOfEriEntries="1" EriFileType="1">
<CallPromptId Id="0" CallPromptText="CallPromptId0"/>
<CallPromptId Id="1" CallPromptText="CallPromptId1"/>
<CallPromptId Id="2" CallPromptText="CallPromptId2"/>
<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="128" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Verizon Wireless" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0"/>
</EriFile>

Usually takes a reboot to show up.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you've got it in there. Carry on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Check out the faq on the first page. It addresses what works and what doesn't.
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
So i posted about this a few days ago, tws at about 50%. I did the airplane mode trick and it works well for me until i try to open the xda app. It just fc's on me til i reboot. I realize that there isnt really much to do about it other than deal with it. But I was just wondering if this is an issue affecting others or not. Its not something that affects my using the rom, but im just curious to see who else has this going on
[Droid Eris Android Development] freeulster:
Thanks

Just want to use my first post to thank Kaos for his many hours of hard work. I've been following you rwork since the early stages of Froyo. It is amazing what you have done for us and our forgotten phones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erispimp:
I have using this for a couple days now and it is so cool so fast with setcpu. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] teggy6:
I'm in the same boat, 50% without signal 87% battery use, only on my first full day, display is only at 8%, this is also using an extended battery. didn't see any fix in the FAQ??

Flashing Problem

So I have an Eris with amons recovery and 1.47 s-on. When I try to flash KGB it keeps getting to writing boot and then I get error at line 199 cannot write boot.img , of course when I try to reboot it never gets past the three skateboard screen. Anyone have any idea what this might be?

I have tried downloading from both links and the MD5 checks out on both of them.

I have also tried to wiping multiple times and formatting the SD card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
That's because I haven't seen a fix reported. Lots of suggestions but no confirmations.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I can confirm that the airplane mode trick works. I'm currently at 13% tws and 46% battery use. Been on for 12 hours. My battery use is cut down to about half. I actually noticed a fairly large difference. My battery isn't draining with the screen off anymore. To do the trick do as follows:

Put the phone into airplane mode for at least 3 minutes. Then reboot phone leaving it in airplane mode. Upon turning the phone back on turn airplane mode off. This must be done each time you power off the device.

Ive had anywhere from zero tws to the mid teens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] teggy6:
alright thanks i'll go ahead and try that tomorrow see if it helps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ssgtob1:

I Just wanted to report that I was able to download from the browser directly. Its listed as known not to work in the FAQ. Anyone else have success?
[Droid Eris Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
This happened to me too. The first time I flashed KGBv7, i found that a lot of the data was deleted from my SD card. Luckily, I had a made a very recent backup so I was able to recover most of it. Still, it was strange....
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I too was able to download. I'll remove it from the not working list.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
yeah i did several things from my drop box cause my phone wouldnt connect to comp
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
To be able to use browser to download install astro file manager, push menu, preferences, than scroll down and click enable browser download. This will allow you to download any type of file from phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I was able to download without that checked. I'm assuming your post was to inform us that was maybe a fix for it.

You are AWESOME! I can't wait to try a stable version. I want to try it now but I need to keep my phone fully functional.

Now all we need is someone to create custom hardware upgrades. I like the simplicity and size of the Eris too much to get rid of it.

Keep up the great work!

[Droid Eris Android Development] Fodizzle1978:
Camera doesn't work but Facebook does (just no sync to contacts), Wifi works beautifully, and gmail doesn't but most of us are using the built in mail client which works flawlessly or a mail client from the market.

Has anyone tried another kernel with KGB?

I tried conap's CFS V9. Seems to run a little smother, but when I select the smartass governor it locks up and reboots.

I have issues with swype. Only on my official beta version though. I can tap words on it like normal but when I try to swype a word it just flashes a blue border around the keyboard. Any suggestions? I had the same issue with celbfroyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
that just means that the beta version you are using has expired. and you need to update/get a newer version.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
How do I get a new version? And i've had the same issue from the day I I've become an official beta member.
[Droid Eris Android Development] krickatthedisco:
you dont need a new version, mine was doing the same thing, but only in kgb, and only when I tried to swype a word it didnt know, like my xda username. go into the official beta installer and hit "select swype" reselect it, and it should be fine. this has been working for me since this morning
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Thank you! I coulda swore I tried this before
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Is swype on your sd card? I had that problem with any keyboards/ widgets on sd card. Just move it to phone and it should be good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I noticed something today. My ex sent me a picture of a plushie of Cartman(from south park) as a middle aged black woman to try to get us back on the talking again. That's the irrelevant bit. The important bit is that the MMS came through without issue, and I haven't(as far as I can remember) flashed that sorta fix for it. Can someone who knows for sure whether or not they flashed it try it out for me?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PierceO9:
why does this not come with a file manager...

can anyone help me? I'm stuck with no market, no file manager, and the browser will not allow me to download any files. In addition, there is no option to select hard disk when connected to a computer via USB. I'm not new to flashing roms, but i use rom manager to reflash to old roms and such. I want to install rom manager to revert back to my old rom but am stumped at this point having no file manager on board. any help? it would be GREATLY appreciated :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] sheeksta:

thank you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
If you reboot into recovery select usb-ms-toggle or something close to that then you can send files to your card. Then you can flash gapps and get rom manager. Or use a nandroid? Which I'm assuming you didn't if your having to ask this question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PierceO9:
I have a nandroid backup. But I can't run it from recovery because it comes up with an error. I'm assuming that's because I need to run it from the Android SDK? But does gapps include rom manager? or the market in order to get rom manager? just a little clarification. Sorry it's just frustrating that I have finally had a problem after all these months of flashing differnet roms hahaha
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Sounds like he isn't using AmonRa as his recovery. ROM manager requires that one recovery that's known to brick Droid Eris phones. I know ROM Manager is pretty much a pretty GUI that can flash and backup, but it only works as a GUI. Taking the pretty way out sometimes leads you to not know what your doing.

Sent from my mind. Yeah, I'm that awesome.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Gapps( short for google apps) includes the market. If you head on over the FAQ's then you will find the link to gapps. Flash that just like a rom(you may want to re-flash kgb and flash gapps before your first boot just to make sure it works properly) after that you should be able to download rom manager and go from there. I'm having no issues with this rom(besides the obvious like camera and mounting) I can download from the browser and do mms. Did you do a full wipe before flashing kgb?
[Droid Eris Android Development] andreaua:
Thank you very much
[Droid Eris Android Development] PierceO9:
Thanks. I'll flash AmonRa recovery once I get myself back to normal. I just always used ROM Manager because it was a simple GUI, you're right. And it always worked. Until I found myself in a pickle like this. But I think I found a way out of it :)
