[Droid Eris Android Development] GreginNH:
Yeah, I tried this V8 and after 3 attempts it was actually somewhat usable but I cant afford to run it as an everyday...

with that said, I was pleased to see how smooth it ran even in Alpha and I am excited by the prospect of having a Gingerbread ROM running as an everyday on this little old Eris.

I will say it again, the Dev's on this site are FANTASTIC!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
I'm running it everyday... It is most likely WAY ahead of KF at this point. It is much faster. You should see downloads and installs. I can't figure out why they would be faster but they are twice as fast.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
I've searched and read the whole thread (I think) w/ no mentions of this, but does anyone else get the 50% time without signal bug? The airplane mode trick works to get rid of it, but I just thought it was kind of strange. Is that an AOSP thing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
agreed. It's pretty amazing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Part of that is due to downloads being uncapped in KGB ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I installed v8 last night with SetCPU at 710 and its running pretty well. The only problem I've had so far is Gmail acting up, but other than that its pretty snappy. I'm looking forward to future releases.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Hey, for the record, you still have to flash the Google Apps package before the first boot, right? I vaguely remember someone saying they didn't flash it till after first boot, but not much else.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
Flash the apps right after the rom. Don't boot first
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Thanks. I was adding an explanation for that on the FAQ and then started to wonder if it was still a must do or not.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
your right flash both without rebooting
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bootlejr88:
See, I tried that at first, and all I got was a boot loop. So I flashed, booted, then reflashed both V.8 and Gapps. That worked for me... Just saying. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] joffen12:
Alot faster then V6

i had V6 on my phone for about a few days just got on web and saw v8 and tryed it what can i say alot faster
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Same 50% tws here. Airplane mode fix worked, but kinda curious as to why it happened on gb and not on froyo? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
It's kinda strange. I pulled up the stats and about 85% of my battery was going to cell standby. :eek:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Demon8654:
Hix, Camera and 4 induction touch not working? Can you help me?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
what in the world are "Hix" and "4 induction touch"? I've never heard of either!
[Droid Eris Android Development] T-Keith:
All this talk of speed has me interested, I was worried gingerbread would be slower or even with Froyo. Any word on how it plays angry birds?
[Droid Eris Android Development] emichroc:
I flashed v8 with the gapps that were listed with v6. I did not reboot in between and it worked great. I also flashed CFSv9 after a successful boot.

With and without CFSv9 the market refuses to download. Has anyone else hit this issue? Is there a fix?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Doesn't really work at all. You get the main menu, the level select, and then a bunch of glitchy display.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joffen12:
signal lost

is anyone noticeing random hangups now sence v8?
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
*228 to update your roaming towers and flash the newest radio, be careful with the radios first as those can brick you
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I too am having that issue. I went from CELBfroyo4.0 to KGB v8. love the rom so far. Trying it out as my daily for now. But i noticed right away that the cell radio was hogging my battery. Before it was the display on Celbfroyo(which is normal and expected) but now the cell radio is 57% with 20% no signal(maybe had 2% on Celbfroyo, same daily use) and its been on for just over 8 and a half hours.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Using the standard "wipe, flash, gapps, boot" steps, my cell standby is generally between 3% and 10%, with display being the major puller of battery life.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Huntredgo:
Well done sir, but farewell... for now :)

Wow... the fact that you are able to push this device so far has astounded me. When I first acquired an Eris last may, I was somewhat disheartened at the speed or lack thereof w/stock software. After rooting, however, everything was amazing! PK, i have been with you since v12 of KaosFroyo, and i can not tell you have thankful I am personally for all of your efforts. Alas, however, it is time to upgrade. While i will be checking up on the ol' eris community from time to time, I will be moving to the Samsung Fascinate next week....

Any thoughts of switching when your upgrade rolls around? ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
That is exactly what i did. I don't know why I get the 50% bug.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Huntredgo:
Are you using Autokiller?

sometimes when i set the preset too high the market installer is killed after it finishes downloading the apk... might want to check on that if that is the case.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
While it won't be my daily phone, I am doing dev work for the Fascinate as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
you should get a dual core phone when its upgrade time, those are going to be so fast
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
I'd take 4G over dual core honestly(And thats currently the choice you have to make)

My Evo, D2 and Fascinate are plenty fast for everything I use them for right now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Not if you get the bionic, right? and yeah, I know that's not out yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] libraryclg:
I think what I may do is get the Thunderbolt with a 1-year contract, therefore if by next year everything ends up being dual-core I can just upgrade. Of course even that is up in the air.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Dude, you know fascinate is still stuck on 2.1

Edit: lol, and then I read PK's post, so maybe not 2.1 for too long
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Not for long with Kaos behind it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vrienduinen:
Sipgate

Can you explain how you did this.

I registered my sipgate account, but when I go to make a call there is no option to use Sip. Under "use internet calling" I have selected "ask for each call".
[Droid Eris Android Development] Fodizzle1978:
You have to add your account under call settings, internet calling, click add account.....sipgate issues you a user and pass, (11*****a7 not my actual but has this format then a 6 digit pass) I set the server at sipgate.com and outbound proxy as sipgate.com.....left everything else at defaults. Works like a dream...made my first outgoing last night and you can barely tell it. I have it where it prompts me each call. Hope this helps!

You find your sip credentials under "my settings, click on sip credentials on the right. Those are you user and pass. Good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] orion421:
Does this mean we can expect to see you popping into #samsung-fascinate from time to time now? Jt134 and birdman are the guys to get with in case you don't know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Already there :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] empathyislost:
I was bummed to find out the LG Optimus 2X is not 4G, but then I realized: 10.2mbps HSDPA is faster than my cable modem service at home. Why do I need 4G?! The Tegra 2 is amazing - 1080p recording and 3D gaming.
[Droid Eris Android Development] orion421:
yeah i saw that after i posted here lol...birdman is looking for you...pm him on irc...thinking he's partying right now but he'll get it later...by the way...we are all excited to have you on board
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
but what if you didnt have to choose either or, and could have them both in one phone, thats the future. then you dev for it and it become even better
[Droid Eris Android Development] firehazard159:
This is officially my day today rom now. looking forward to future iterations!

Much love to you kaos <3
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
im just waiting for a 4g phone with a duel core running gingerbread. 1080p recording and a 10mp front and back camera with duel led flash. thats what i want.
[Droid Eris Android Development] waffleb051:
Now that this rom is stable it has been mine also. I wonder when we will get a working camera (jk i dont care lol)

V8 is my daily OS
[Droid Eris Android Development] woofers02:
I'd gladly trade one of those processors for more RAM and slimmer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
--Open dial pad and dial *#*#4636#*#* (If Testing menu doesn't come up than click "Call" and it will come up)>Go to Phone information>Scroll down and you'll see preferred network type>click it and switch it to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

I found this over at android forums. I'm trying it now. Hopefully it works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] empathyislost:
Am I crazy, or is the link to the FAQ gone?

Nevermind, found it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10388613&postcount=1375

Kaos, could you please link to the FAQ in the first post?
[Droid Eris Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Kaos if I could make love to you I would (no homo) lol my Eris has never run this fast it's just awesome!! Can't wait until it is fully operational (including the planet destroying laser) it's become my new day to day rom.

Thank you Kaos and may the droid be with you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Future reference, the FAQ link is now also my signature. I'm a rather active commenter in here, so it'll always be near or on the last page.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Lemme know if it ends up working for you. I'll add it in to the FAQ, since we know a few people are having that issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Demon8654:
Camera not working. Can you help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Okay i just set it up so Well see how it goes. Ill report back tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
This ROM still isn't 100% functional yet. Among the list of things that don't work is the Camera.

Nothing we can do about it. I'm sue Kaos will get it working eventually, though. He's a beast like that :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Just a quick question i read somewhere in this thread about the gb kb needing a fix for auto correct and as im mobile atm its more than a pain in the ass to search for the specific post can someone link the file needed for the fix? Please and thank you :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
i hope its up and working in v9
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
I'm assuming i just flash via recovery with this? It would be nice to have auto correct...
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
yes, works quite well
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
One thing I have noticed is that at times this keyboard runs much slower than the original one in the rom, don't know if that's just me or not but just a forewarning. Its nothing horrible, just annoying sometimes :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Thanks a bunch killa!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
So far I am having no luck. A little soon to tell though. But the airplane mode trick has worked. Put it in airplane mode for about 3 minutes and the re-boot the phone(leaving it in airplane mode) and then once it reboots turn airplane mode off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
I haven't had that issue yet, any idea what causes it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] vrienduinen:
Internet Calling and Google Voice

Thats what I did, but it was not working. I found that using google voice for calls prevents internet calls from working. I disabled GV and it worked. Anyone find a way to use both GV and internet calling together?
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Okay it worked on the tws issue but cell standby is still at 35%, which seems like its still high. Ill see if it improves as my battery goes.down
[Droid Eris Android Development] hotaru:
use gizmo 5, if you have a gizmo 5 account. that's what i do.

or you can use sipdroid to set up a pbxes account linked to your gv and then put the settings for it into the native internet calling thing and then you can get rid of sipdroid if you want.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
Gah, it's frustrating toggling back and forth between KF and KGB because it keeps resetting my home screen on KF to default and removing my widgets. Any way to prevent that? I'm wiping each time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] elelau:
Kaos ROCKS!

Kaos, I just wanted to say that you are the man! I am still running KaosFroyo v38, but have flashed all of your versions of Gingerbread and am excited to see the awesome progress. Keep it up brother! Know that your efforts are greatly appreciated by all us Eris owners. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jupackippur:
gTalk and Gmail

So I separately flashed gApps.... am I doing something wrong or are gTalk and gMail unusable at this point?....
[Droid Eris Android Development] antEris:
Backup/Restore homescreen

what launcher are your using? I think both launcher pro/lp+ and adw/adw ex both have a way to save your home screen layout and configurations to your sd and restore them. Hope this helps:).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Emunny:
+1 but you should try go launcher and give that a shot its very stable and has the ability to use 30 home screens with out lag
[Droid Eris Android Development] C.Hatfield:
I am not even running KGB yet, but I've been reading every single post since day 1 .... and I am pretty sure EVERYONE has suggested/recommended to flash gapps after flashing the ROM .... then reboot ! Have you read any of the previous posts ?!

Just curious .... :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I wasn't very happy with Go Launcher the few times I tried it. It seemed to freeze up on me a lot...
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
ive had a pretty good experience with it, try it with v39
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Read the FAQ. It says gmail is known to be unstable and that many apps just dont work.

I'll add gtalk to the bad list though. Thanks for reporting the issue.

(EDIT)Didn't read closely enough, or I'd have realized that you flashed, booted, then flashed flashed gapps(separately), which is known to cause problems. That is also covered in the FAQ.(/EDIT)

Edited from my Craptop computer.

I wish I knew why I can't make outgoing phone calls, but have no problems with incoming ones :( I updated my PRL and still having issues. Anyone else?

Eris | Gingerbread | ADWLauncher EX |
[Droid Eris Android Development] dfurr88:
First I want to say thank you for bringing this to the Eris!!

I tried to install V8, wiped/delv wipe then flashed the rom and then gapps. Phone went into boot loop forever. I then tried flashing just the rom and it boots. tried flashing gapps after with the same effect as flashing the rom/gapps. I believe im gonna wait just a bit longer before attempting again. Just wanted to let you guys know my attempt.

Thanks again Kaos! Keep up the good work.. I'll give it a shot again at a later date. I must be doing something wrong or Gingerbread doesn't like me.. hahah

Scanned the first post quick, but didn't see a list of known issues as was protocol for KasoFroyo. Is there a running list of issues somewhere?

Did you not get that memo?
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
No, it was sent to his gmail.
[Droid Eris Android Development] EhudBenjamin:
I believe the words you are looking for are at the beginning of the post

"Don't expect it to work, or be useful for any reason."

It is very basic right now with very little completely stable functionality, i tried it for a bit last night and it has a lot of potential, but as of right now its not a daily use ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Find a post by rougegoat, there's a link to the faq in the signature.
[Droid Eris Android Development] EhudBenjamin:

Yessir there is. It's linked in my signature(recent addition). I keep it nice and updated.

It's a known issue, in the FAQ. There's a bunch of other issues that are also worth knowing bout also mentioned in there. I highly recommend reading through it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] adrenalinerush12:
I love this ROM. As soon as the proximity sensor works when I'm in a call and the camera app works, it'll be my daily ROM. Thanks for all your hard work!

most likely, he hasnt been able to use it till they upgraded the frame work, lloks like kgb 9 is going to be a whole lot better, id still like to see some of those kgb wallpapers everybody helped vote on in the actual rom

* looks like it will give us the screen off animation, woot
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Downloading V8 to test now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
dont know if its just me or not but with v8 my eris reboots itself 2 to 3 times a day. not a big problem for me but thought id put it out there. im still gonna use this as my day to day rom because i just love it so much =]
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Not meant to be day to day so you can definitely expect the random reboots/ wishy-washy GPS and other such issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
ya i been using this rom sense v3 and and it works fine for my mane rome sense v6. all i need it to do is make calls, txt, and wifi. for basic users like me its fine as a day to day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I suppose. I don't know why you'd voluntarily choose to use a gimped ROM... I just flashed it. Very nice UI but so so so choppy and slow. Can't wait for more updates so it's not so slow, though obviously Kaos is already doing a ton since he doens't have a ton to work with.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
well the speeds not rly an problem for me. its not as fast as kfv39 but i got it overclocked to 806 running launcherpro plus and it runs as fast if not faster than stock.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
ur doin something wrong if its slow and choppy. its faster than other roms for most of us.
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Hey kaos, you even got the gingerbread easter egg in there!
[Droid Eris Android Development] stanlalee:
if he's using the stock android launcher and had been using anything else with prior roms it does scroll slow and comparatively choppy but a simple launcher switch changes that. Few of us are accustomed to the relaxed speed of stock andriod launchers.
[Droid Eris Android Development] capcoward:
Do we still have to flash the Gapps for version eight?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I dunno...maybe it's in the FAQ...could be a good place to start. :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Default launcher works very well and is not choppy at all. I'd pair it speed wise to LauncherPro on KaosFroyo. I use it, mainly cause it's one of the strong points of Gingerbread that isn't hardware related. I mean, what's the point of moving up if you immediately disable the things that you can actually use in the new version?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mdparent:
I had to flash gapps for v8 but everything works great for me except gmail restart issue. No biggie :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
Ditto, I saw there is a gingerbread skin for adw, but I still prefer the stock myself
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
its actually a new app called adw ex or something, i think this is what your talking about
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnston9234:
exact same situation, everything runs smoothly except for gmail. Hope it gets fixed soon and thanks a bunch kaos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Randull:
I never use the stock Gmail app, is there a reason you guys want to use that as opposed to one of the 3rd party options like K9?
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
Idk about that ex app but there is a separate theme you can download for the regular adw launcher. Just search the market for "gingerbread adw " its the one that has the gingerbread android icon
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnston9234:
Gapps are best thats why lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
It would be helpful if the FAQ was linked in the first post... that would help folks to find the information they're looking for :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] C.Hatfield:
Release the leviathan ..... -again- :d
[Droid Eris Android Development] MrObvious:
ROFL. This ROM just needs a little more work IMO (no camera = no go for me as I use it for work) because I tried it and it's not bad.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnston9234:
once video playback starts working it will be the perfect rom
[Droid Eris Android Development] guitarokr:
Is anybody having a problem with the GPS not working? Just curious. Idk if I may have missed a step. Other than that, works like a charm :)
