[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I was thinking it was more like a driver. Like when you plug something into your usb on your computer you get the little message saying installing drivers. When I emailed the guy from gps status he told me that the log I sent said when the app tried to get to the gps that there was no mention of a gps on the phone. Which leads me to believe its a driver. I could be completely wrong though. Someone with rom building experience wanna jump in and enlighten us?
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
(Someone with rom building experience wanna jump in and enlighten us?) +1
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Interesting idea. Id say grab the GPS flashable from the KaosFroyo FAQ and try it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
Just tried it and the gps still isn't working.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Darn :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Well, it was worth a shot anyway. That method is pretty much the whole of the MMS fix that was put up before, so it's not a dumb idea. Just apparently ineffective.
[Droid Eris Android Development] loveoffroading:
Thanks for the help, with the notifications. Ringdroid helps and it works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] brew182:
Well, the fix was for the GPS force closing right? Maybe that isn't what we needed? Again, I don't know much about the coding so I could be off lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Yeah I think. The guy told me that the log was showing that there was no gps on the phone. I suppose if you copied the gps drivers from a working rom and threw it in a zip it might work. At least that would be nice if it did.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
The fix was just the libhardware_legacy.so(the GPS driver from what I understand) from KaosFroyov38 pulled out and put in a flashable zip.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Are those the old verizon tones, like stock? my girl loves the notification sounds. ( strange but shes pretty) so I've been looking to no avail.

Sidenote: kaos is the man period. I'm waiting version 9! So excited.

Swyped from my froyo eris running on Kaos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
I think that they are. you can always just make a nand, flash, then if it's the incorrect package of tones wipe/restore your nand. I know that's inconvenient, but I have been without the default tones for so long that I can't remember if those are the default. I guess you could always unzip it and play the tones on your comp and see if they're correct, but then I think that you'd have to rezip and resign the thing. You could always just make a copy to play around with so you don't have to go through those last steps. Let me know how it goes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I don't know about that zip, but I do know that the one in the FAQ(my gut says it's the second to last question on there) has a zip with all the default ringtones and notifications. If that one isn't it, try the FAQ one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Thanks Rouge. Do you happen to know what some of the default ones are called?

I unzipped this one and some of the sounds are named chiff, bubble, color, 2 step, curve, innovation, etc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dustintendo:
so did kaos leave?
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
No, he has another phone but he still develops for the Eris.

I'm trying to flash this now but when i flash the latest google apps over V8 it boot loops. i'm dling V6 to flash that then gapps and a dalvik wipe to V8 to see if that works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Yes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I just saw on twitter that kaos was working on the gps fix.. its progressing..
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I just saw on twitter that kaos was working on the gps fix.. its progressing..

Extra note: those WERE the default tones. Second...mentioning twitter feels wrong....just me?:-P
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Yay. He's coming back! Haha.

And yeah I agree about the twitter thing.

And I may be selling my Eris soon guys :(

If Anyones interested let me know. I'll probably be posting it in the marketplace soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
I don't know for sure, but I believe that is in regards to the Fascinate ROM he's been hard at work on. He's getting it up and running as best as he can before he gets back to us.

Maybe I should start following that thread also so I can figure out for sure what's what.
[Droid Eris Android Development] krickatthedisco:
yes i know about the free version, but the paid version tells you how many mb are free and thats what im using. the question i am posing is why is the cache filling up so quickly in kgb, 50mb of cache in less than a week seems excessive. in kfv39 i had 100mb and it stayed above 90 whenever i cleared it. now with kgb every time i clear it seems to clear less and less. i started with 110mb free according to cachemate and now it says 49mb free. i am using the exact same apps with kgb as i did with kfv39, so it must be something with gingerbread
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Well via the twit. He said he just put out th new rom ( theirs >.<)

Erismater can not be erismaster without eris.... jus sayin.. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
did you flash them immediately after flashing the rom without restarting?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Also make sure you're connected to a power source(wall socket or just USB port). In the past, I've found any OS level install tends to get...buggy to say the least if done on battery power. Not always, but it's safer to do it while plugged in than while on battery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Yeah I know :( it'll be a sad day. But I think I'm going to get a D1 for the time being. Then when my 2 year is up I'm getting either the bionic or the thunderbolt. I love htc phones but that dual core is really enticing. It may depend on if moto locks the boot loader on the bionic.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Based on what I saw in the fascinate thread, those tweets were about his froyo build for the fascinate. Not 100% sure, but that's how it looks to me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ngc604:
I'm sure the moto will be locked. Verizon could barely keep the X on the shelf and everyone know the bs that's going on with that. It will still sell. First dual to the market. no doubt about it selling
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
Tried v6 then gapps and boot looped
[Droid Eris Android Development] loveoffroading:
Hey I was wondering if anyone else had a issue with the phone portion fc after a reboot with v8? It does it with me and the only way I have found to fix it is to reflash the rom. If anyone has a solution or idea it would greatly appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
They could barely keep it on the shelves because, sadly, not everyone cares about actually owning their gadgets. Remember that rooted users are the extreme minority in the world of Android, so most people don't care about unethical practices to stymie people like us.

Which is lame. I feel there should be some sort of front of the box badge of approval for devices that don't prevent you from rooting, or that are completely GPL compliant. It'd help my shopping out a lot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
V6 was from back in December and had a lot of issues. You're probably better off flashing from V8 directly. It addresses some of the issues that were big in V6.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
okay going to try making a nand then dalvik wiping and flashing gapps over v8(again) but once i flash it it boot loops(hopefully it wont this time)

EDIT: tried the one i usually flash with Celbfroyo. bootloop. trying the one from the thread now.

EDIT 2: Flashes but no apps show up. Going to try formatting SD card then flashing again
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I read somewhere last night that the main reason they lock it is cause of something in the processor. But that something (i cannot remember what it was at all) isn't in the bionic cause it uses the tegra 2 processor. Although I'm sure moto doesn't mind locking it. If its locked I may have to go htc. Even though the bionic will have slightly better battery life and all the obvious. But htc makes a dang good phone in my opinion.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
still cant get Gapps installed. going to go back to Celb for now till i think of something else
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:

This could be a very good sign for the bionic or any future motorola phones or simply a good pr statement.

If its at all possible, I would love to get wired headset working... didn't realize how much I missed it :)

[Droid Eris Android Development] markalyea2:
I was talking to someone in verizon that has informed me that he knows as a fact that the bionic will have an open bootloader. The bionic is supposed to be strictly open source and made for developers.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xbrxlunch:
so when is v9 coming out
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Check the faq. It's at the very bottom

this makes me very happy and unless kaos gets a near better phone, this will probably be my upgrade phone, cant wait for dual core 4g and for the iphone to be blown out of the water yet again by a droid

I tweeted kaos again. He sais he was compling for kgb!!!! Hopefully I'll be able to jump from froyo! I quite a few of those missing items. I may flash 8 for fun. But I read nands get deleted alot....

Btw I flashed the new gapps and now my battery dies quick. I'm also using a couple icon packs for adw ... Think it's the hardware or the battery crapping out?

[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I finally put one of them on yesterday afternoon!
[Droid Eris Android Development] emaninthenation:

Would really love it if you got the camera working. With that it would be perfect.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
i dont think its the gapps, cause i have the newest and im currently on 3d 3hr 51m since last charge and im stil at 23% battery, try a couple of configurations or reseting bat stats might help
[Droid Eris Android Development] rnot:
How do you manage 3 days on a charge? I last like a day tops. Do you leave your data off?
[Droid Eris Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
With KGB I'm able to get 3-4 days on a single charge with moderate use... When I had KFv39 I was lucky to get 20 hours out of it, it might be your battery going out
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
screen on low, bat reset, airplane mode at night, haptic feedback off, launcher pro, put it on 2g when i am not using data, new radio firmware lowers your signal to minimum on non-use but jumps to max when your on phone(helps a lot) and got rid of a lot of system apps and battery sucking apps, i also dont use as much as i got a free dinc from my bro which is now my main line with the eris as my secondary which was a empty # so im not using it except for music and to text people that dont know my new #, because music does a lot to the battery on my incredible( rooted as soon as igot it, screw sense, miui is kinda nice for a change)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Interesting...I just assumed that ROMs made after that came out already had the newest firmware cooked in. I never thought to flash it again. It's just in the thread about radios on here, right?
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Wait wait wait, if I flashed the newest radio previously on a different rom then I need to flash it again when I flash a new rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Easy way to find out.

Settings->About Phone->Baseband Version

if it matches the newest one(2.42.01.04.27 is the newest one I can find in a thread here), then you're fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
will try.any advice on what apps kill batteries the most. It may also be that i just use my phone alot... like two hours of music...fair amount of fb, and can't live witout my wordfeud/ xda apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Biggest is anything that syncs data. If you use facebook/twitter/whatever, set them to manual sync.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
What are you overclocked to with screen on and what is your screen off profile.

Flashed the new radio today, hopefully that helps my reception on the way home from work :)

As soon as it's ready...LEVI! Sic 'em!
[Droid Eris Android Development] rnot:
I bought my phone used off Craigslist so my battery very well may be going and need to be laid to rest and replaced. It'll suck to buy a new one when I'm up for a new phone next month.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I'd wait then. Or buy a cheap on online.

When you go to buy a new phone I'd trade in your eris. Verizon is giving a $132 credit when you trade your eris in. Idk how long this price is going to last but that seems pretty generous, coming from verizon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
My sync is always off thanks yuo control panel. I killed my oc just running at kf's set speed. Auto at aggressive. It's likely wordfeud then. Thank you guys. Waiting to go kgb when it's got all the basics. so soon I think.

Swyped from my froyo eris running on Kaos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rnot:
Hopefully that credit lasts the Bionic comes out. I don't want to renew to a 3G phone when 4G is right around the corner. I'd rather deal with a ****ty battery and wait until its released.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Yeah I'm going to buy a droid 1 (hopefully) online and get the credit for the eris now (they give you a vzw gift card) and use it towards my bionic when it's released. I'd keep my eris but it's got the scrolling left issue (never been bad untill lately) but verizon doesn't ask for hardware defects, only if it makes calls, and the screen works and isn't cracked. I'm assuming they just use it for parts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
well since this is my secondary phone i only have essentials: FB, maps, market browser, applanet, FML, root ex, youtube.

everything else is gone, tried to delete phone too but it wont let me do anything just keeps poping up telling me it FC. i also set it pack a bit in the overclocking

btw i just now had to plug it in as it was at 6%. (almost 4 days DAMN)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
Does anybody have any trouble downloading apps from the market? It seems like I usually have to do it two our thee times before the installation sticks. Usually it tries to tell me that there is insufficient storage, even though that's not true.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Yeah I have the same issue. I just ignore it cause it still works after a few tries.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rnot:
That credit for Eris trade ins, (and this is my business degree and drunkness speaking) might have something to do with us having such a dev and root following that they want us to move on to the newer phones?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rnot:
Any idea of what software they want? Do they only want stock or are rooted phones eligible too?
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
I don't think it matters as they probably full clean wipe and reload the firmware anyway, though it's easy enough to go back, you might as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
All they really say is to remove all personal info.
[Droid Eris Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Holy moly Batman!! $132 for the Eris?!? Awesome! I played around with the appraisal site checking all the phones in my house and mine is not only the oldest phone but also worth the most for a trade-in lmao!! My mom's Droid X is worth less than $100!!! This is exciting new for me since upgrade time is less than a month away! The only question that remains is do I want to trade-in my awesome Eris or keep it as a secondary phone to play with lol

I just can't wait 'til the Thunderbolt comes out!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I'm assuming they use the phones people send in for parts. something in the eris must be valuable. I read today that the thunderbolt is going to cost $250 with a 2 year contract. I'm hoping the bionic is the same when mine expires or the thunderbolt gets cheaper :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] loveoffroading:
help

I have posted this question a couple times now and haven't gotten a response yet. I'm kg v8 on my phone and when ever I reboot the phone portion fc and the only way I have found to fix it is by wiping and reflashing. It is annoying when I just want to flash a update or something to have to reflash the rom at the same time every time! Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you fix it? any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
I don't have that issue. Try using dialer one from the market and see if that helps. Other than that theres nothing I can think of.
[Droid Eris Android Development] michillin212:
I have read about the trade-in value but I can't seem to find a link to it on the forum. Can someone send me a link? Is the trade-in by Verizon or another company? Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Just google verizon trade in. its done by verizon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Just FTR, that leads to a few pages full of articles talking about(but not linking to) the trade in.

Google is bloated, and way too many people know how to cheat the system so their stuff pops up instead of what you're actually looking for. I wouldn't recommend "Just Google it". I'd just post the link. It's much faster, looks like you're much less full of your self, and less insulting to the person you're replying to.

Just my $0.02

(edit) Just FTR, here's the link for the trade in site. (/edit)

[Droid Eris Android Development] michillin212:
Sweet, Thanks for the help everybody! I love these forums!

If anyone tries to go to the website and it doesn't work try it on your phone. It didn't work on my laptop but it works on my Eris. I guess it's because Kaos is such an amazing dev.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
If you google "verizon trade in" its the first (non sponsored) link. The url is trade-in.vzw.com. If it was more difficult than that I woulda posted the link. No need to get all worked up on an internet forum for someone saying google it, especially if it's the first link.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Its uncanny how you ignored the part where I mentioned what the contents of the first three pages of results were for me when I searched that exact phrase... almost as if it went against your point. Nah, that'd be crazy. I must just be imagining things./sarcasm

But further discussion on this is a waste of time for all involved.

(Edit) I was polite to you, you replied in a dickish manner, so I'm ok with being an asshole back.(/edit)
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
For me when i search that phrase its literally the first link that comes up. I was under the impression that google brought the same search results for everyone. And I wasn't trying to be a **** back but I kinda took your comment to me as a little rude. When I said"google it"i didn't mean it as a go do it your self you lazy piece of ****, but as a friendly hey go over to google and search this and it should be one of the first links kind of tone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] killakrishook3r:
so i also looked it up and there were 2 good links in the very beginning that i think were sponsored and then nothing else for 4 pages so i think it depends on your browser settings(instant, safe search, etc.)

not to mention there were two links to it on this last page or two

cant we all get along lol

so i found this small bug in kgb. when on the lockscreen when i slide it over to unlock it freezes for 3 secs or so. this only started happing about a week ago. anyone else have this problem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
Are you underclocked with the screen off? It marty just be your phone trying to wake up. Mine does the same thing sometimes (on KGB and KF) cause I'm underclocked at 19/245 with my screen off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donthemighty:
ya i am just found it odd that it just started a week ago
[Droid Eris Android Development] erismaster:
Maybe try doing a battery pull. Sometimes that can fix lag issues that your currently having that you usually don't have.
[Droid Eris Android Development] michillin212:
The same thing happens to me on any ROM I have used and stock. It is worse when it has to change orientation. It's funny because I have my CPU overclocked most of the time even with screen off.

Apologies, stressful weekends make me snappier than usual. That's an explanation, but not an excuse. Sorrys. :/

Phone once again(third time now) got stuck in that weird sorta boot loop. I seem to either have a bunch of random, minor issues(music player, GPS, etc) that drive me away or a perfectly running phone that tends to randomly stop working when I'm running KGB. So I think I'm gonna drop out of the KGB(and this thread) for a while, at the very least until v9 comes out. See you guys in a bit.

Swyped from my froyo eris running on Kaos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 5thAgent:
My concern is growing. Kaos hasn't posted here in over 2 weeks, and has released 4 versions of his Fascinate ROM... Before his MIA status from the Eris forum, he told us we'd get some love on this ROM, but I feel a lot less sure of that now than I did when he told us not to fret.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Caitto:
Are you being serious? Kaos has become a well known name around here. His other rom for the eris got to v39 and this one is v8. My count puts the eris 43 updates past what the other phone has gotten. Someone bought him the phone and asked for his help. We will get updates as they come, if you think you could do it better please show us.
