Question: Regarding theming, am I right to assume that the framework.res is probably quite a bit different than Froyo's and that metamorph themes developed for Froyo would likely not work (or only partially work) on GB?
[Droid Eris Android Development] shatterpoints:
Even with setcpu this is still slow as molasses. I can't wait for this to be solid, also cannot change the number of screens :( so had to go with launder pro
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
We must be using very different roms and/or configurations. Even with the default launcher, its running fairly smoothly, considering its an alpha.
[Droid Eris Android Development] malcolmia:
Setcpu?

I see frequent references to setcpu, autokiller, etc. In KaosFroyo, the conclusion was to not use services killers and overclockers, but rather to only use Autokiller Memory Optimizer, as PK had set cpu to a good max of 710 already through the ROM. Does this hold true in this ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mordant80:
It won't hurt anything to run setcpu.. just opening the program will tell you what the rom is clocked at by default. As for the autokiller programs.. I like to think GB has AT LEAST as good memory handling capability as Froyo does, I'd stay away from the autokillers myself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] malcolmia:
Autokiller Memory Optimizer is not an auto killer program (badly named) as I understand it, so that would be the exception. It was provided by PK in KaosFroyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
Auto killer is the best app

Everyone should be using it

Hell I bought the full version

It is not a task or process killer.

It does not run in the background

It makes your phone faster and gives a little battery boost.

Read up on it people you are missing out in a great must have app.

I will always use this app ALWAYS until otherwise

set cpu is fine as long as you don't have any profiles. Use it as a monitoring tool

There is way too much misinformation about these two apps.

And apps do get updated to fix bugs you know

It may have had issues before give it a second try
[Droid Eris Android Development] mordant80:
I didn't word my post well.. I am refering to the task and process killers I wouldn't use.. "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" is a good app (at least it is on froyo.. is memory management the same in GB?) I used to use it. I just personally don't see much of an improvement with my usage over the stock setting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Every time an update comes out re-read the OP.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Is the screen auto rotate working? Mine is not.......
[Droid Eris Android Development] il Duce:
man you guys post fast.... somebody asked a few pages back how the hero was coming, so here's the latest: GB runs very well, but not complete, I think we are about where you are. most things work... here's what is still NOT working= accelerometer(rotate/compass), camera(any), gmail app - the app syncs and pulls fine(it FC's only if you open an email), and there's a weird bug with superuser, it wants to update (new binary) and if you do it, you lose root, also people are getting mixed GPS results, seems to lock well but not stick well. There's also some issue with wifi hotspot. The rom is pretty damn fast and totally usable. And yes installing adw or lpp with autokiller and OC works well. Sorry if I missed something, it does seem to change every few days :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] shatterpoints:
Gmail worked fine for me, updated su binary and kept root, rotate worked for me, camera worked ok-ish, GPS was good for me too. I dunno why you experienced those issues...

On a side note, if I don't use setcpu this rom is not oc'ed so at the stock 528 speed the thing crawls and it takes me minutes to type in words. Once with setcpu to 748 I could type and nav menus faster but the scrolling was atrocious on the home screen. With launcher pro it isn't so bad.

*edit* I am still playing with it and have seemed to get it to be a little faster, dunno about battery life yet, though 2.3 installs apps suuuper fast.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
DarkEdge installed most of the Framework.apk files and booted with no problem.

The phone is different in GB so the phone/contacts wouldn't work correctly.

The font took with no problems.

I did notice I had no ringtones, only two notification tones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stiltzkin:
I'm happy to say that this is now mature enough to replace KF as my day-to-day ROM.

As others have said, with overclocking, RAM management, task management, and Launcher Pro, this is well up to usable speed. The only major issue I've had is with the Gmail app (FC when opening a message), but I can just use the web client for now. I was very impressed with some speed improvements in the OS - for example installing apps is extremely fast.

So just to recap so those who are still confused can see everything in one place, this is basically what you need to do to run this ROM at optimal speed:

1. Nandroid backup (optional)

2. Wipe, flash KGBv6

3. Flash 12/28 gapps package linked in OP immediately, without booting first

4. Link Google account, get Superuser from market

5. Install Autokiller, Advanced Task Killer (ReChild), SetCPU, Launcher Pro, and any other apps you'll want (i.e. Wireless Tether for Root Users is not included)

6. Overclock to 710-768MHz using ondemand governor in SetCPU, check "set on boot"

7. Set AutoKiller profile to Moderate (or to taste)

8. Set LauncherPro as default launcher

9. Turn off animations/window transitions in Spare Parts

10. Enjoy!
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
Not pointing fingers at you bud just reading through the post :D

Your points are understandable

But does properly close apps which gives you more memory which makes the phone a little faster.

I will take that speed bump though.

On another note I want to hook up a friends eris with kgb.

What are the obvious bugs here so far?

Thanks everyone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
If I were you I would stay away from rechild an app I wish I never bought.

Also with spare parts you can speed up window transitions but stay away from window animations part it will ruin the crt screen power off feature

Eris Gingerbread -- Sorry not quite ready for prime time

Hi kaos,

The lead article on XDA by : Captainkrtek states that you are working diligently on it and fixing bugs and not to send you a bug report because" You know what is and is not working"

Well I would have to say , not correct. He states :

# Working OpenGL

# Wifi

# Bluetooth

# In-call microphone

# Audio

# Notification Lights

# Sensors working(Ambient, rotation, etc)

# Data/Radio.

I would beg to differ:

Open GL:

Not functioning fully.. The radial menu with the little triangle in them on all set up menus, Still very pixilly, however check boxes look great....Go figure.

Wifi: Works Fine

Bluetooth:

Half ass at best right now. It connects to the device and pairs with it, but the device does not function. All I get is a bunch of static in the ear piece. I tried 3 different Bluetooth headsets. all different manufacturers. Same, nothing but fuzz.

In call Micro:

Works just fine.

Audio:

Works just fine.

Notification lights:

Works just fine.

Sensors:

Auto-rotate and little slow and choppy, other than that perfectly fone.

Data/radio:

Works just fine.

Now on another note, I did a full factory/reset Wipe. Flashed KasGB V.6 and the latest Gapps, buy the way all Gapps functioning properly!

I installed about 30 apps on my phone that I use on a regular basis and half of them FC constantly. The other half work smooth a butter. Oh I also use ADW 1.01. I do not like the new version nor do i like launcher Pro.

I have the phone overclocked to 245-748 on-demand. and Swapper 2 running just fine.

So far so Good KAOS, awesome job I must say and its not Froyo smooth or fast, But its getting there for sure.

However, except for the new smokey glass type menus, I think Froyo is better looking. I personally do not like the new notification BAR. I do like the notifications pull down menu; but the bark looks lame to me. Flat with no pop, the Icons are smaller and harder to read. Just my opinion but what the heck was Google thinking.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stiltzkin:
Thanks for reminding me about window transitions - I forgot I turned those off as well. Updated my post.

Why don't you like ATK? I've used it pretty much since it first came out and never had a problem. And I'm using the free version, not the paid app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shatterpoints:
The theme and look of the rom is the least important thing imo. The rom should be made stable and working as best as can be before any issues with looks come up at all. There are a couple 2.3 themes already and you can manually theme the phone to your liking if you wanted. Try to be a little more gracious as you have a decent version of gingerbread running on a phone that 2.3 isn't even for...
[Droid Eris Android Development] shatterpoints:
I finally got this working the way I'm used to, I never knew about the minfree app. I found it when searching for the low memory killer codes for 2.3 since they were completely different then what I'm used to. The minfree app fixed that problem and I'm good to go. Also again I'm not having any FC issues with gmail.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
For real.

10 char
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
Atk's are not good for systems 2.0 and up and can interfere with system processes. auto kilter on the other hand tells the system how to handle processes and to be more aggressive in killing apps and give you the option of of how aggressive to be as you know........depending of course
[Droid Eris Android Development] stiltzkin:
ATK ignores most system processes by default, and I have other things I don't want killed on the whitelist. I use it in conjunction with AutoKiller.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hubbu09:
Great work PK! It's almost ready for every day use IMO. The last straw before I convert to KG would have to be the speed. It's just slow enough to make typing on the keyboard a pain. Sometimes the key taps will register as ALT keys because the time between is too long.

I used Autokiller (Aggressive), SetCPU 710-748 ondemand, and LauncherPro. Then I went into SpareParts to turn Off all animations to make it look faster. Looking forward to v7! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
here you go
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
wait so this rom does the turn off crt screen thing? my phone did a boot loop and was too late to try to fix so i nand back to v39 and didnt get to try v6 out yet
[Droid Eris Android Development] stiltzkin:
I'm a little confused about this as well...mine has never done it, even before messing with any settings at all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shatterpoints:
LOL funny this should be mentioned. I was doing a backup of this 2.3 rom to hop back over to my daily for work when I noticed the power off is not the old tube screen power off either. It just turns off, I've tried changing various settings like animations all on and still no dice. I'm sure it will be in an update/ later version.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
Pk you are all over the news man.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
OpenGL is working, as in, it runs. It can always be improved from "working" to "what to be expected." But then again, this is an ALPHA you arrogant prick. If you don't understand that basic fact, then stop using this rom and go back to stock. You shouldn't be root on a machine if you aren't aware of basic things with software releases.

Bluetooth is working just fine for me. This is using it for either a headset or headphones. Maybe it's a bad flash. Have you tried reflashing it? Maybe your phone's actual hardware is being buggy in a way that's unique to it. That's always a possibility. I haven't seen any other reports of what you're saying. Again, this is an ALPHA, and not for every day "this is absolutely perfect" use. To quote Kaos

Some apps won't run fully. Many will force close. This is because the rom is an alpha. You'll notice that I brought that point up a lot. That's because it answers every one of your points you felt like bringing up. We're aware of the issues. That's why Kaos is telling people not to file bug reports yet. He knows it's not perfect. We're not acting like it is. It's still an alpha, so we expect it to have a lot of flaws(which are dropping in numbers dramatically each release).

last points: it's free, you don't have to run it if you don't want to, stop being an ass over stuff we already knew about. Phrasing and tone in a comment can change dramatically how people take it.

(bad day at work + condescending noobs = rant. I trimmed this down from the super long post it would have been.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Okay, you've made your point... ummm, noob question here: what's an alpha? ;)

rant => whimsical response :p

Gmail/Gapps newest version?

Sounds like some people are having luck with their Gmail app working fine... I noticed the previous post that included a zip file of the newest version of Gapps. Is the link on the first page of this thread not the newest version? Maybe I missed something... would love to to get my Gmail app to a more stable point. Also, I would like to know how the dude with the crazy long post has a working camera... It does not work. Thanks to Kaos for all his hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
Haha I think its funny how people are so quick get on people's backs when they think they're dissing kaos that they don't even read what they say, that guy was saying he doesn't like google's design so relax, he wasn't freaking on kaos
[Droid Eris Android Development] douglasmcusmc:
This is what I did... installed v6 and gapps...rebooted..... Installed superuser...task killer... Autokiller...gscript light (748).... Installed adw home.... this is now running great.. also installed ShapeWriter keyboard.....

So far running great after changing settings.. I would go as far as saying working Smooth..... thank you for all your hard work..
[Droid Eris Android Development] C.Hatfield:
Good lord people ! Are any of you guys (esp. the ones with 2 or 3 posts that have a December join date), that are asking questions like this^, even reading ANY of the previous posts ?! It blows my mind that the SAME QUESTIONS fill each page of the thread as it goes along ! READ PEOPLE, PLEEEASE !!!

YES - its the latest gapps !!! (look at the date in the zip - 2010-12-28 or similar ! -PLUS PK SAYS ITS THE LATEST ... go with it !!)

The guy who has his camera working is either lucky, flashed over a ROM or whatever, but its a well known issue about the unstable Gmail and the camera and the video .... PK knows all of the issues, I am sure !
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
may wanna check that file. I flashed it to see if this one's version of gmail would be stable, and it caused my phone to get stuck in a boot loop.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Weudel:
I just came over to say the same thing.... Keep it up Kaos!
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Man, seriously. I always know someone published something about me when my email box blows up like that :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
Thanks PK, I've got GB up and running with LPP and just loading my other apps back up :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ChannerT:
I played around with this for a bit and it was actually pretty stable, just slow but thats expected. Awesome job p.k
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
I do have one small request for a later time, one of the features I really liked on my Froyo ROM was the 'grouping' feature in the widget picker. If we could re-enable that - I think all of my dreams will have come true!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
+1, especially as one of my apps has widgets from 2x2 up to 4x4 (11 sizes)!
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
im thinking that the article about KGB in DroidLife is gonna bring some major traffic to this thread.... hopefully those people will read and search the thread and not ask a thousand repeat questions :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] jethro357:
Jesus man. My question was based off of a previous posts that I read as you wisely suggest I do and had a question about. There are conflicting posts about the Gmail app force closing and someone posted a zip file purporting to be the newest Gapps package. Hence my question. I downloaded this supposed new Gapps version and briefly analyzed the contents of it. Based on this I decided that I would like some clarification since the package posted by Kaos was about 15 MB larger. You act like the fact that someone just decided to be involved in the thread makes them ignorant. Chill out dude.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Hey PK I think the reason superuser is not working without downloading it from the market is because its not in the app folder. Its just sitting there in /system. Right next to build.prop
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Yep, that'd be the reason. I dropped it in the wrong place before my final packaging.

:o
[Droid Eris Android Development] Skyllos:
disregard this =P
[Droid Eris Android Development] stiltzkin:
Just out of curiosity, has anyone figured out a way to get the Droid X multitouch keyboard working on this ROM? I tried pushing Kaos' ARMv6 version with ADB per his instructions, but it just makes the input method process FC. Must not be compatible with 2.3, or the support's just not there yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
that reminds me, hey PK were you able to get the multitouch to work on the Gingerbread Keyboard? or is it not possible with the Eris?

[Droid Eris Android Development] kerfex:
Sorry, I was not directong the looks on KAOS, I love his work. Just staeing my OPINION on what GOOGLE has changed. I siad over all great work and I know it will just get better and better as KAOS's work always does.

But I am not sire if everone was aware that Bluetooth does not work. Thats all. Sorry if I gave my opinion on what I thought the stock look looked like.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Apologies from me for my rant at you. Nearly got fired today, took it out on you. Shouldn't have. My bad.

Though one thing to know for future reference, how you phrase something means a lot online. Very little meaning from communication is in the actual words used.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kerfex:
It's all good no problem, I will be more careful how I type things instead of just rambling! Buy the way I re-flashed a froyo rom I never use then full wiped and re flashed KAOS GB V6 and now only a few apps lock up and almost every app is working fine.

My bluetooth still does not work though....:-( But I know in time KAOS will have GB going as if it were just made for our ERIS's!

Now I know this is and ALPHA release, pretty damn stable fr ALPHA, Any way I noticed somthing funny and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this...

The Wifi and phone Bar icons keep switching colors on there own. When I installed they were green, now they are white. But sometimes when I let the phone sit, they go back to green. Weird huh? Anyone else experiencing this? Just wondering. Doesn't really bother me. I find it kinda neat!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I noticed that also...maybe it has something to do with when that radio is in use? Green for idle or something? Anyone know what's up with this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] kerfex:
Also I am very glad you did not lose you job. :-) Times are to tough for that ....stuff. I know I have been on reduced hours where I work for 2 1/2 years. No OT. My college education did not pay off. But i did get a good education and had a blast...but i digress....
[Droid Eris Android Development] T.C.P:
actually its suppose to change color when it is syncing with your google account, or so i read :D :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] kerfex:
I think that is it. makes sense. let see....... nope, when I fired up the stock browser the wifi satyed white. huummmm... I will say this, the browser is lightning fast! Wow!

Hey so I flashed KGB this morning and been playing with it all day, it works great for an alpha build thanks for your hard work pk!

I know we're not supposed to report bugs here but I ran into an issue and I was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue. I was gonna test a theme on kgb to see if it worked but before I applied it I did a nandroid backup as usual and it backed up without issues. After I rebooted though it said my SD card was damaged and now I can no longer access it or mount it, the sd card was fine before the nandroid backup. So I restored an earlier nand backup and it restored fine so I know the sd card isn't damaged, but its still reporting it damaged, i tried manually removing it and putting it back in but no change, anyone having sd card issues or trouble making a nand backup of KGB?

Im going to reformat and see if that fixes the issue. Not sure if the issue is at all related to KGB or if my sd cards just failing on me.
