Navigation, Navigation, Camera
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I'd have to say camera, gps, USB mount. Mms works for me(I never did a dalvik wipe before I flashed this rom and I have no side effects from it, I was thinking that this may be why my mms works. Idk. I came over from celbfroyo if rougegoat or someone wants to try that and see if they have success.) if I had to pick one more I'd say the 4 touch buttons at the bottom of the phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
Navigation, gmail and camera. GPS is working, nav just isn't catching up very quickly.

Eris | Gingerbread | ADWLauncher EX |
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Try downloading gmail from the market. Haven't had the fc problem since.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jaycoke:
camera, gmail, nav

Also I noticed that the tags on mp3 files are not read correctly. Artist/ album displays 'null' Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using the built in music player, and '3' (aka cubed) music player.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I don't have that. everything is displayed properly
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jaycoke:
Hmm, maybe I need to try a fresh flash... Just odd.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
You might want to delete all the music off of your card and put it back on. That's what I did. I can't remember if had the null thing or not before I did that, all I know is that I dont now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Camera, camera, and softkey lights :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
Gonna take the Gingerbread plunge tonight. I'm feeling as giddy as when I switched from 2.1 to Froyo.

I can only hope most of these issues get ironed out soon. I need GPS and camera is handy (albeit not completely necessary).
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Kaos, thoughts on putting Cyanogen 7 into this now that they're getting on a role with it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] duccicucci:
just as a quick observation ... this rom (and gapps combined) seems to be approx anywhere between 15 and 40 mb smaller than alot of the froyo roms ... out of curiosity, is gingerbread a smaller os than froyo?
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
If you read the big red kaos gingerbread thing on the first post, it says mixed cyanogen/ aosp. So yes its going to be in this rom. But cyanogen is only in nightlies right now. So probably a little bit longer
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried any of the conaps kernals? If so,are they working without breaking anything, such as native apps2sd?
[Droid Eris Android Development] loveoffroading:
I was just wondering if anyone else had a problem with the phone portion fc on them after a reboot? If you have how did you fix it with out reflashing v8 again? I just went back to kf v39 because it got annoying, I loved kg though so if anyone has any ideas let me know please.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xbrxlunch:
so whens the next update coming, i've been waiting anxiously :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I've been using v8 flawlessly. I didn't even wanna try 9 in case it didn't work right.Only thing its theres no smart ass governor, interactive works great though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I hate to say this, but I can confirm that the music player skip bug from before is still in V8. I reflashed from KaosFroyo last night, followed accepted steps, and didn't touch it again till this morning. Found the bug still present this morning when I went walking off to class.

It may only show up if flashed over KaosFroyo. When I removed it from the known issues, I had flashed V8 over V6. Can anyone else confirm this is still present?(adding it to the FAQ anyway).
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I haven't had it skip. I've listened for a few hours too. I like the new music player way more.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Tried this myself, and I didn't have a force close until I rebooted the phone. After that, I got a force close every time the app opened. This got really annoying considering I had it set to check for emails fairly often(every 30 minutes). I wouldn't recommend this fix.

(assuming you were meaning remove it from the /system/app folder and then redownload it from the market)
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I didn't remove it. I've only had one fc. Maybe try installing and re installing every boot? Kind of a hassle but it might work. could be worth it if someone needs gmail.

For some reason i seem to not have as many fc's and problems as other people. I really think this is cause I didn't wipe coming from celbfroyo
[Droid Eris Android Development] afaaron25:
Just wondering if KGB v9 is on the way?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Read the FAQ. It's the last question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
I really do understand why afaaron25 would be concerned. This ROM's GitHub isn't showing much activity, and we sat at both v6 and now v8 for some rather extended periods of time. I guess so much as a "here's what we've got in the works" list would pretty much satisfy all the antsy people. I know it would make me feel better.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Kaos its working on a different phone also. Hence the longer waiting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Kaos is working on another phone right now. Once it is up to snuff, he'll come back to work on this.

Don't get antsy, he's just giving some other people some digital love.

That sounds like a euphemism for cyber sex. That's not what I mean, though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
lol win. x.x Stupid Samsung... stealing our Kaos...
[Droid Eris Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Hey guys, sorry for stealing Kaos from you. We needed some help on the Fascinate, as it's getting left behind for many of the same reasons as the Eris, so I donated one to Kaos to start coding on, and he's been going nuts on it ever since. Don't worry, he'll get back to you guys soon enough. :)

Im sad now
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Don't be sad, be happy! While we may not be going forward right now(though, the code is out there so anyone who wanted to try to fix any of the issues is more than welcome to), we know that other people are getting a good dev to help their graveyarded Android phone. It may slow the Eris' progress a little bit, but it helps bring some other people up to date. That's always a good thing.

Plus, you're getting this all for free. So...no complaining about timelines!
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:

[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Oh god, now I've had Levi released on me. Now I know how I made C.Hatfield feel! All I can say now is, "Nooooooooooooooo!"

[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
jesus, i had my headphones on kinda loud when i pressed it, i think im deaf, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I hate when that happens, I had a cd player with digital volume that would randomly jump straight to full volume... it died a horrible death involving a lawn mower.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ngc604:
Eris people need to chill. Everyone here should remember how it felt to be left behind by htc and Verizon. The fascinate is a good phone non the less and it shouldn't be a surprise that samsung and verizon are leaving people behind. par for the course. They need the help of a good dev to help them. we should be glad that an eris dev is that well respected that someone is willing to donate a $500+ phone to them. I am glad kaos, a great eris dev, is helping other people. He has helped our phone show its like the little engine that could. people said it could never run froyo. and if memory recalls right he had it on the eris first. so kick back and enjoy all we have. From all our devs.

Kaos, good luck helping out the facsinate. and i wait anxiously for your return to the eris. thank you for all your hard work.

Phillip
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
...not just an Eris dev, he's done work on better that a dozen phones, we're just lucky enough to be using one of his favorite phones. And I'm pretty sure none of us on Eris got him a phone (mad props to ivorycruncher). I'm glad he's over there helping out, I have a buddy with a Fascinate, bout time they got FroYo.

BTW not dogging ngc604, just quoting you because you're the one stating specifically "Eris Dev"
[Droid Eris Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Just fyi, I didn't pay anything near $500 for the phone I donated (less than half that). I got it off of eBay with a bad ESN for cheap, and Kaos, with his l33t hacking skills, swapped the bad number with another dev phone he had to get it activated on Verizon for proper testing.

Not full keyboard

ok so i just flashed to kaosgingerbread v8 and the keyboard is like on a flip phone, not a full qwerty keyboard, is this normal or can i change it to qwerty?
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Long press in a place where you can type text. An option will come up saying input method. Select it. Then android keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Miss Firecracker:
I keep checking back daily for the updates. Super stoked on this one! Can't wait to see how it develops.

All of you guys are awesome on here that do this stuff.

Now, if only you could find a way to make my Eris' screen bigger... :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Chill out guys. It was just a misunderstanding, one that can be easily forgotten in the long run. Just make sure in the future to remember that communication via just text is the least effective way to get a message across. So in the future, make some clarification and remember that nothing gets accomplished if you just sit around and flame each other.

So....we all cool? No harm done.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
There was a little discussion in here about issues with Swype. The issue was that after the phone reboots, swyping won't work, only tapping. But if we just go to input method and choose another keyboard and then back to Swype, everything works fine. I went to the Swype forums and posted the issue and this is what I got back from the head beta guy:

Here is the full logcat: http://pastebin.com/y1tvgBi3

Thank you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Yeah I had that issue, except I couldn't get it to work at all really. Only one time of many times uninstalling and reinstalling. Im sticking to my cracked version. If anyone wants it it's here http://anonym.to/?http://anyhub.net/file/_fQ-swype-hvga-2.10.52.13753-beta-cracked.apk
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Just so everyone knows. For some reason the phone thinks that the gps isn't there, like there's no hardware. So any apps like gps status or anything won't fix the gps issue currently. That also explains why the gps signal doesn't hone in close enough. Idk how to mess with the system files much but is it possible to take the gps files from kaosfroyo and put them into KGB? Idk if that would fix it but if someone wants to/can try it I'd appreciate it. cant hurt to try to it while we wait for kaos to return with the good word of v9.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
Wow, that was fast lol

Im downloading it right now, can't wait
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Umm, I have no idea what you're talking about. :) It flashes fine with Amon-RA.
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
They were saying the keyboard zip couldn't flash in ARa.

KGB flashes fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Skrip037:
Hey Kaos, when this becomes a beta, or even a release - please make a recommendation on whether those of us using KaosFroyo should upgrade to this or not. Thank you sir.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toolskater:
Ya if someone could fix up that fully functional keyboard for our phone I'd love ya forever ;-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Possible soft brick

I think I know what i did, and I have an engineering bootloader, so I should be able to fix it. I went a little nuts with dalvik wipe and factory reset. I did a factory reset after flash and lost recovery on reboot, and now it's stuck on the android screen. So, just a warning, don't do a factory reset after flash if you have a locked spl.

:( I effed up, so sent from my friends laptop... for now
[Droid Eris Android Development] saintdice:
Just keep an eye on the thread and you'll know when it's good enough for a daily driver.

Or flash the updates yourself and **** around with them. Always make a nand and it's worry-free. A lot of us were on KFC way before it was stable enough for daily use, but that's half the fun.

Strap in and enjoy the journey.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
just curious why would you wipe after flash?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
could someone translate this for those of us who are slightly inept? I'm confused.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Swifty31703:
Thats just the Gingerbread keyboard zip. KaosGingerbread can be installed like any other rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
they flashed the rom and wiped after flashing for some reason and somehow lost his recovery bootup image..hope that helps
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Just to see what would happen:o

In Amon-RA you can do 4 types of data/cache wipes, the two that are a concern when flashing a new ROM are data wipe/factory reset, and Dalvik-cache wipe. I was just seeing what would happen so I wiped them before and after flashing the new ROM. If you do not know what an engineering bootloader is, or what locked spl means, then DO NOT wipe after you flash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
That seems odd....and scary. I don't like it when I lose things I'm not supposed to lose. And yeah, I haven't quite gone THAT deep yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
thats a crappy situation..well thankgod for script and command promt, maybe you can recover yourself in android sdk or something...good luck..
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
All better, just took me forever to get the full android sdk, I killed my computer jumping a fence and won't get a new one till my bonus, so I had to use a friends. But yes, thank the Devs for S=off
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Glad your phone wasn't bricked. Thanks for clarifying things for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
:Dlmao! killed your computer jumping a fence? i bet thats was a first....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Randull:
Wiping data on a whim just to see what happens, hurtling fences with laptops...you live life on the edge don't you? :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] markalyea2:
Oh alright thank you for clarifying that for me. I should be able to use swype though right?
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
swype should work..just make sure theres a nandroid in place just incase, as always....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Okay everyone, I've had enough bickering and flaming.

When I joined this community during the first days of the eris we had true development like kaos has been doing for us skillfully and free. We our not entitled to anything here, we create, share, modify and have fun and new/old members arguing gets us no where.

I will not tolerate disrespect at all. If you don't have anything to contribute or nice to say then don't post. If you have a problem pm me and ill handle it, and if you are disrespectful and rude I will deal with you myself

Dude, there's been like one tiff due to the vagueness of text communication, which is totally understandable. There's not really much of a respect issue here with the people who are actually active in this thread. We get it, and we're a grateful bunch.

Sure, there are people who pop in for one comment to ask a question that's already been answered or to complain about the Fascinate people getting attention right now, but we can't really be held responsible for all the joe internets who post in here randomly any more than you can. Most of the time we just direct them to the FAQ if it has their question in it. It's no biggie.

Besides, be careful what you randomly post. If we went with the rules you stated in your post, we'd have to yell at you for not posting something nice.* :p

I've been searching the forum and either I couldn't see what I was looking for or I couldn't find it, but I was wondering if anyone else had problems setting notification sounds? the only one that I can set is the "Facebook pop". I've downloaded and tried a couple different ringtone apps but I can't seem to get any other sounds to show up in my notification sound list. How can I fix this so I can apply different sounds for my notifications? I'm fairly novice at this I just barely rooted my phone for the first time this last December so I'm still learning, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Try the faq
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
@loveoffroading to use the sounds you downloaded, either open or download esfilemanager then open it. Then use that to find where you downloaded the files from then cut them from there and paste them into your system folder, if you need help finding anythin message me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
There's a flashalbe zip floating around someplace if you need it. Let me take a look and see if I can find it...

Hi, thanks for joining the ranks of Android users who completely own their phones. It takes a bit of time to learn all the troubleshooting steps and tell tale problems and things like that, but given some time I'm sure you'll get the hang of everything.

That being said, I think I covered adding some notification noises in the FAQ. I didn't check using other apps though(such as Ringdroid) to make and store notification sounds...I just assumed they worked. Is that how you've been going about getting notification sounds so far? I'd like to know so I can add it as a clarification in the FAQ and help other people who may have your same problems.

Oh, and a heads up: someone reported a few pages back that they were sporadically not getting sound on ringtones and notifications. No one confirmed it, so I didn't add it to the FAQ, but that issue may be popping up along side whatever difficulties you're having now. Lemme know if that seems to be the case.

One last thing, as you're new to rooting in general, I feel I should say this: You're totally free to run this, but it might be a bit...less than pretty in comparison to some of the other ROMs. It's totally good for day to day use, but it has a lot of...unexpected problems that pop up, and some people may not be comfortable with that. To put it simply, it's trying to run before you can walk. If you're OK with that, then you're good to go. If not, I would recommend going with a different ROM, probably KaosFroyo.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have, but double check the FAQ before hand. Also, report anything if you don't see it mentioned in this thread or the FAQ. Reporting stuff helps people down the line who get in the same spot.

(edit)FTR, I'm not trying to say "Don't do this at all!", but rather trying to give you a warning so that you know what you're getting into. You're more than welcome here if you're OK with the issues that are present.(/edit)
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
i know right, it will come to eris along with cyanogen mad 7. so cant wait for that
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
this method works for making your own ringtones, also i think you can long press a song and set it, otherwise flash the defaults and add customs through ringdroid for notification or ringer
