Depends entirely on how long you keep Clockwork as your recovery. As long as you use it you run the risk of bricking your phone. Only solution is to switch to Amon Ra.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
Another member and myself did some digging around on the CW brickings. We found several interesting items, but nothing concrete. One thing we did find is that if you used AmonRa before CW, then install CW...when CW boots, it uses Amon's kernel. This was the case with myself and the other user researching. Our phones have been solid as a rock. The phones that never had AmonRa on them are the ones that are turning up bricked more than anything. But it's inconclusive because some people insist their phone was ClockBricked, but had AmonRa first...I personally believe these people had non CW issues while flashing...resulting in a brick.

Either way, I have been using ROMmanager and CW for almost a year with no issues. IMO CW is fine now. I don't think the first versions of it used the AmonRa kernel, but it does now...so I personally believe the issue has been fixed and CW brickings will be rare from here on out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
Wooo! Ty so much!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Really? I didnt know that I had always stayed away from rom manager because of fear of bricking. Thank you for the fast response kaos. :-) means a lot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
Just remember, it's all theory. I hope it's correct, as I have been using CW for a bit...but I don't claim this as concrete fact. Just sayin'.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I had mine rooted with clockwork while i was waiting on Verizon to get their thumbs out of their behinds so they could send me a replacement(trackball messed up) bout two months and had nothing go wrong. now i didnt flash too many roms i stuck mostly with 2.1 sense roms.

But still, i didnt run into issues. from what i understand there is a amon-ra recovery that is trackball optional. meaning you can use the remaining hardware buttons to navigate the menus, or use the trackball if you so desire. I'll find the thread it was posted in and link it here for you
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Hmm...guess I'll give it a shot. Worst comes to worst I'm due for an upgrade anyway.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
So I looked for it but can't find it...

Is there a way to copy the recovery partition via adb? I might have it on one of my laptops I just have to find it first

EDIT: i did a quick google search and i found out why i couldnt find it via the search function here on XDA. It was originally posted on Android Forums. http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html there you go
[Droid Eris Android Development] natemup:
did a full and Dalvik wipe coming from KaosFroyo v39 before flashing v8, the Gapps, then v9 of Conap's kernel, then booted to good results until I needed to get all my apps. I chose not to try any complicated app backup/restore methods, but now when I try to download apps (such as ones for mounting my phone to a computer, tethering, autokilling, overclocking; THE BASICS), the market:

1. shows the "starting download" dialog below the progress bar, but never actually starts downloading.

2. appears to do some FC-esque maneuver, where the screen goes white and refreshes, stopping whatever I was doing in the market, and taking me about two steps back to wherever I was within the app. this happens anywhere that I am in the market, including during the pseudo-downloads.

HOW THE HECK DO I FIX THE STUPID MARKET.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
isn't there an apk in the FAQ about the market fix? idk if it addresses that issue though :( :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Shot in the dark, id say your problem is Conaps v9. Either go to v8 or don't use it at all. Regardless, you'll have to reflash it all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Hey, any of you who reported the Eris Market Fix(or other apps for that matter) not showing up, would you guys see if the app will still install from market.android.com? I'm curious as to whether apps your phone for some reason won't show in the market can be installed anyway. I'm gonna try it myself as well, but better to have at least one other person verify it, ya know?

Here's the link for the free Eris Market Fix on there.

(edit) Turns out the site will detect your phone is incompatible with the app if you try to install it. So disregard this. (/edit)
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Fwiw. Tazz got the cam working on his gingerbread rom :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
Tazz's rom is gb themed froyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Actually, on the last page of his rom's thread he has a post for his own Gingerbread ROM which has camera working.

I'm gonna pull the camera libs out and see if they work in KaosGingerbread.

(edit) No dice on just pulling them and pasting them in. Causes camera to force close every time it's opened. (/edit)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
He also just put out a test rom for cm7. He just didn't start a new thread yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
It's here on XDA too, Scary Alien just posted it in the original Amon thread, so it's buried.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
Oh, neat. Hadn't seen that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jolest:
I've seen small (about 0.75 inches long) mini-jack-to-micro-plug adapters (would work for using an Eris AC-adapter with a newer phone), but not the other way around...

Any tips on where to find them? (online)?
[Droid Eris Android Development] natemup:
yeah I reflashed everything except Conaps v9, and all is well for now, except the excessive battery drain in standby even with SetCPU doing it's job. Could this also be a kernel issue? I didn't flash one at all, so which one is default in KG?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Testing out GSB nightly and they have both camera and GPS working. Any chance these could help out here? I couldn't get camera to work by just transferring lib files(specifically libcamera.so, libcamera_client.so, and libcameraservice.so), but I could very easily have just been trying the wrong files(not exactly familiar with the underlying files that make up Android).

Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Think that might be something you have installed. I get generally about 3 1/2 days off each charge on this rom, which is hardly excessive.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Grab libhardware_legacy.so too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Sounds promising
[Droid Eris Android Development] natemup:
any tips? wild guesses?

I looked and I think Conaps v9 is actually still installed (apparently that stays even after a full wipe), but really, any ideas as to what I have installed that might cause that would be helpful.

When I checked the "battery use" settings, it says 91% is being used in "Cell standby", subtitled "Battery used by cell radio). maybe I need to flash a new radio since I full-wiped?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
ah, that's a very different issue. There's a fix in the FAQ that may work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
boo....grabbing both libhardware and libhardware_legacy as well didn't help out. Guess I'll just sit back and wait for your fix for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
It's a good idea, was worth the shot
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
lol this still hasn't been updated?

I totally miss my Eris now. The continuum has a very limited dev team here on xda. And rooting it is difficult.
[Droid Eris Android Development] natemup:
is there a fix for certain apps FC themselves while I'm using them? it was happening in the market the first time I flashed KG, and now after wipes and a re-flash, the market is fine, but Gmail (of all apps...smh) and my Bible are doing it. I uninstalled Autokiller and it was still happening.

and did the FAQ mention the lack of an "auto-brightness" option in the display settings?
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Gmail is known to not work with V8, as well as a lot of other apps. Its still a rough build.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
v9 v9 v9??? each day i hope to see an update. love the work kaos has done but wish he had more time to work on kgb
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Seems like kaos is going to town this time around. Cm7 is awesomeness.. Can't wait for a third option. I wanna roll with kaos so I'm waiting. Will try shed tomorrow though... Tazz was almost perfect. ( though kf 39 felt almost as fast, but that might be the extra free 70 mb)

Why.....?

Because..... Kaos is better than sense. duh!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Sheds is great. I think ull lilke it
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I'm all over it till kgb cm7 comes.

Why.....?

Because..... Kaos is better than sense. duh!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
And, hell, if I'm reading between the lines right, guy just got through with a move... wait, devs have lives too :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Hahaha. True but it's like waiting for christmas as a kid. You know it's awesome just waiting to happen, so you whine about it being a week away.

Why.....?

Because..... Kaos is better than sense. duh!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] blklab49:
How to Question.

Did you flash over v38 froyo? Wipe? Realize this rom is in early stages of development but like many others, want to get involved and use it. Can you provide the steps taken to load Gingerbread.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
I did both. A fresh wipe and then install works fine, but right now the market app is not showing on gingerbread for me. So, I then nand restored my v38 kaosfroyo and did a no wipe flash from it. It saved about half my apps but still no market.

The main apps I use are there though. Except for twitter... I am trying to find a fix for twitter.

so just come on over from kaos froyo v38 with no wipe. Like kaos said, this isn't as smooth as it will be in time and has hiccups. But, I just want the fun of staying with it since the beginning. Plus, if you ever were in a pinch you can just go back to a backup of v38 for a few hours or a day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] libraryclg:
This is awesome, I'll have to follow your directions so I can have at least some of my apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Be aware that while it DOES makes calls, you can't talk :P I don't have the mic working yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
I didn't. I tore this all outa the SDK.
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
So I'm assuming that with no market that means Titanium won't work to restore the missing apps...correct?
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
HAHA. Good to know. I knew it was dialing but no one had picked up yet that I was calling to brag to. Good thing!
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
Saintdice - I can't get titanium or a few other advanced programs to work yet since busy box and super user are not running. If you have file explorer you can find some apk's with it, but so far of the 2 I could find I couldn't install them yet. I think once we get super user permissions it may help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Hey look, we made the front page of XDA again :)

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/breaking-news-gingerbread-2-3-running-on-droid-eris/
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
They tweeted this link last night. That's how I found out. Beautiful.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ferrocene:
Awesome. Can someone make a flashable amon RA zip? For the keyboard that is.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
The Evo guys apparently didn't get the memo though, they were claiming their build was the first out :p Though I only beat them by a few hours...
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
yeah, the ROM from the other site didn't work for me either. Would love the keyboard but can't flash the ROM yet because I need the rest of the functions.
[Droid Eris Android Development] aceboogie_2:
hey kaos

i was trying to flash the gingerbread keyboard to kaos froyo 37 but its giving me some message about the latinIME.orig.apk

do you know any way i could get it to work
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
I haven't actually looked into it yet, I will in the near future though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostsync:
You're amazing. I figured we Eris owners would be somewhere near last getting 2.3
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnston9234:
kaos your amazing, love your Froyo rom and you have my premission to devote all time to gingerbread :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
i flashed the keyboard d posted a few pages back with amon ra just fine, its quite amazing, only problem is the predictive text is limited to the user dic. (no spell check) and i suck at sp.,im using kaosfroyo v38
[Droid Eris Android Development] tburns:
Dayum!! First at 2.2, 2.2 sense, and first 2.3. Whoever you work for better be proud of your work! Can u change your nik to Pimp.Kaos :).
[Droid Eris Android Development] tburns:
Err dbl post sorry.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
lol, Kaos is like Santa, but PK's not a red dot on FamilyWatchDog
[Droid Eris Android Development] chadw80:
Shed = god lol :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] the_scotsman:
I've removed the troll posts from this thread. Please keep it on topic.

There won't be any more warnings...
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Did I miss something big in the last hour or so? I can't think of anything remotely trollish that got out of hand. Just one rude comment that most of us overlooked. Weird.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Yeah, I just finished moving, and am still unpacking things. I'm working on dev stuff between boxes though :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
You do too much! Thanks for everything!
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
i just flashed this rom to my phone like 10 min ago and it said everything went fine i got through the androids on the skateboard screen now its on the screen it just says android with a light through the letters but it pauses about 20 sec in then the light will start going through again like its just stuck on this screen normal? or is my phone done?
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
flash an older version of the rom like v6 or 7 than after reboot flash v8 over v6 or v7 without doing a wipe. this should work and hope this helps
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:

sry i forgot to quote his comment.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
when did you flash the gapps
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
U flash gaps right after flashing v8 before u reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
And killa, the gapps should have nothing to do with the bootup not working. If he did the gaps roung then it would still bootup just without the gapps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
actualy if you get bad gapps or flash them at a dif time, it will boot loop so i was just asking when he did them
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
This is true. I know its happened to me because of screwing up the order of zips.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
lol didnt know, learn something new every day =] lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Hey guys, here's one for you! :)

punkkaos Kaos

http://twitpic.com/3ypxvt here's one for the Eris crew.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
Just saw that on twitter, pretty cool. Can't wait to try it. GSB is working great though. I can't wait to see if it any different.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tylerwatt12:
Looks like he added CM7. Hope we get those fancy screen-off animations, *crosses fingers*
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
only works 5o% on sheds GB
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I wanna see who has the fastest cm7..! and if he bridged the gaps shed and tazz had...o this and so much more!
[Droid Eris Android Development] mech_egr:
Love the spare hdd lying in the background. True sign of a computer ninja
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
So is this rom stable yet ? Haven't seen any updates on the OP, been waiting to try out a CM7 Gingerbread rom kaos. I'm still running kaosfroyo v39 lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
people need to stop asking that, look at the faq, all the comments or the fact that there is no new version yet so how is it more stable when it hasnt been updated, look at the link above, obviously hes working on cm7, just have some patience. go try tazz's or sheds in the meantime to stop your "whining" lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Really !?! Yeah that was necessary. Sorry for asking a simple question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Running tazz. Its good but pk makes the leanest meanest so I'm waiting to see his cm7. I can't give up this rotary lockscreen. Lol

Eclair: fat n lazy

froyo: cool

Gingerbread: runs and makes houses

What would you want?
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
yeah sheds is doing pretty good, still needs some graphics work (game graphics dont work perfect) and some speed boosts
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Tazz is having a couple issues eith bootloops. Me my adw is sucking... But the features of cm7 out weight that. Just waiting for kgb, I'm a loyalist taking a vacation lol.

Eclair: fat n lazy

froyo: cool

Gingerbread: runs and makes houses

What would you want?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
Ya know, I don't like the launch bar of LP as much as ADW, but I do like the 3D screen swipes you can do. So when you swipe between home screens they rotate away. That really adds a classy effect. Plus LP has the spill over application menu like the Nexus 1/S both have.
[Droid Eris Android Development] akajeeves:
Just hope Kaos gets some more love out to us on the Eris before TeamAndIRC distracts him... looks like they are dangling prospects of a Thunderbolt in front of our beloved dev! Not that I can be too sad about that though because that is definitely #1 choice for my next phone at the moment.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I wouldn't blame him for taking it.

Side note, those like me who are stuck till later in the year before they can get an upgrade(stupid change from 13months to 20months) might be better off. Quad-core ARM chips(like in the NGP) are expected late this year - early next year. It's kind of rediculous that that's an option, but hey, me likey.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
Speaking of upgrades, I got my hands on my brothers old phone since he got a new iPhone. Luckily, I wont be leaving Kaos since it just so happens my brothers old phone is a Fascinate :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
i give it another 2 years before we have i7's in our phones with some new kind of led screen or some abbreviation not even thought of yet and our computers will have AI. im shooting for an iron man type house. oh and the suit would be nice too
[Droid Eris Android Development] xbrxlunch:
dead rom???
[Droid Eris Android Development] theoemrys:
No he had been working on other phones. A few days who pk posted pictures of what he is working on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Your face is a dead rom!

In seriousness, no, it's not dead. Kaos just moved, so his life is coming first(as it should). Plus he has like 5 roms on two phones, as well as that Thunderbolt he's being offered. Lot on the table to say the least.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
The early upgrade after 13 months is still there. It will only be after you sign up for a new 1 or 2 year contract. I just checked and I can upgrade now at 14 months.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
noticed that I was also actually upgradable when I went to pay my bill this morning. Which is very odd, since they told me over the phone that I couldn't upgrade until September. I shouldn't be surprised about Verizon flat out lying to my face. Wouldn't be the first time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
I know what you mean. I was actually told over the phone that I could upgrade and then they tried to sell me an iphone. They said that to upgrade early it would cost an extra $20 but I could get an iphone and not have to pay the early upgrade fee. I told them I would rather have a thunderbolt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Man, I hope that happens. I'm planning on moving to the Tbolt since my upgrade is march 6.
[Droid Eris Android Development] theintrepid1:
Any chance for a link to this? would love to upgrade to a dual core. The Eris has been great and i love working with it, but its underpowered for what im doing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Kaos, please please please put down that Fascinate for just a minute. We miss you over here man!
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
New eris work is coming too. Hold tight :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
I'm not sure what link you are referring to, but if you are at or over your 13 month mark then just sign into my verizon and click on the "you're eligible for an upgrade on this month" statement and it will populate a new page with all the phones on your account and their eligibility. For mine it has upgrade at a discounted price. I then called verizon and the CSR said that I was able to upgrade at the two year price but would have to pay a $20 dollar early upgrade fee.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Log in to your account on Verizon and check your update in there. I believe that the main account gets 13 months(until the contract renews) and the sub accounts have 20 months.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bootlejr88:
Good to hear he is being offered the Thunderbolt. That will be my next phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
FTR, I heard that earlier in this thread, so...I can't verify if it's true.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 1234567188:
I can't wait. If there is a time machine in my lifetime I will bring the me zip to me in the present. Stand by for results
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I have a time machine. It only goes forward at a regular speed. It's basically a cardboard box I wrote "Time Machine" on.

Legacy Hardware

So...we're now a Legacy Android phone....boo....
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Ouch!! That's harsh!
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
I'd say if any phone has a legacy, it's this one. Waiting forever for OTA 2.1 then, with the help of awesome devs, getting Froyo and Gingerbread running smooth as butter. We've had a long, fun ride, and it ain't over yet! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 1234567188:

[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
The ride is definetely not over. Especially since my contract wont end until january :(
