[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moos3y:
The Droid Eris can only handle so much. I've found out even with using all the 2.2 ROMs that I've always kept my apps and widgets to a minimum.

-Less widgets I feel that the phone is more snappier

-Less background app updating won't hog too much memory thus the phone can run faster (i.e. weather updates, facebook etc..)

In any case, ROMs are all different in their own ways and each Droid Eris runs differently. I recommend KaosFroyo / CELB / Nonsensikal

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
It's all in the tweaking.

Try a few different roms. Different kernels, keyboards, launchers.

Explore all menu options. OC and governor options.

If you install/uninstall alot of apps, keep your /cache and /data clean (I find old stuff in there all the time).

Read about build.prop tweaks.

Pay attention to your apps and what they're doing. If something is being a hog in the back ground, find an alternative application.

Delete your bloat. If you don't use it, and it's not a dependency for something else, remove it.

I also move apps that are 'essential' to me to the system partition.

I think I've tried just about all the froyo releases on here and they're all good. Issues always come down to me fubar'ing something.

CELB has always been my go to; FroSHEDyo a close second.

After months of denial, I switched from ADW to LP. ADW is still my favorite, but it lags whereas LP doesn't. Function over form.

Oh yeah, and always run fix permissions. It can iron out the wrinkles most of the time. Its in rom manager or recovery, or from terminal: su <enter> fix_permissions <enter>

"roll your own" froyo-eris v. √-1

FroShedYo, xtrROM, xtrSENSE.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Of course this is all subjective - it probably depends on which apps you run. I run CELB almost exclusively now. I've been rooted since May, and my primary ROMs since then have been:

- Ivan's Official 1.0

- Senseless

- Cyanogen ELB (2.1)

- xtrROM

- Kaos Froyo

- CELB

- Nonsensikal

- Back to CELB

- xtrSENSE 4.6.5 for two solid weeks, to see if I could stay 2.1 stock

- Back to CELB for good

In my experience with all of these, the only ones with any sort of lag after the phone had been running for a while were the full Sense-based ROMs - Ivan's Official and xtrSENSE. I had a few issues with Cyanogen ELB - mostly the occasional random reboot - but really my favorites in this list, and then ones that I think would have minimal lag for the way that I use my phone, are CELB, Nonsensikal, xtrROM, and Kaos.

I was lucky never to have issues with the silent phone bug, and I don't have that phantom call drop issue that some people report with the CyanogenMod ROMs. If I did, I might simply stick with xtrROM. However, the extra battery life with better performance that I get from CELB is what keeps me running that ROM. How you use your phone may be different, but that's what works for me.

Also, what somebody else said is true - it's an Eris, it's definitely not a speedy phone.

i am running launcher pro

i think i might try FroShedYo next
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanlalee:
I havent played with 2.1 roms much but for 2.2 (which I've tried most) nonsensikal and floyo tazz are much more consistant and snappier than other 2.2 roms. I dont know if its coincidence but they both happen to be CM 6.1 based opposed to 6.2 like the others.

And Koas Gingerbread is even better just doesn't work yet. I noticed right away angry birds plays much smoother/faster and download speeds are obviously superior too so I'm waiting/hoping the few things left to fix on that (mainly camera) before switching completely.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyfeffer:
KF is the best period

What everyone is saying is true really just make sure you're cache/memory is cleaned pretty frequently.

I've been with KaosFroyo since v19 and I've tried every other rom, KaosFroyo has always been the most stable and had less issues. CELBFroyo is a close second and Conap's kernals are the best.

I currently run KaosFroyo V38 (because I've had some GPS issues with v39), then Conap's CFS Kernal V9, GOLauncher EX, CPU Boost by Conap, OC to 729 and my phone runs smoother than ever.

I also use Process Manager Pro as a task killer (the widget and amount of resources it uses I think make it the best).

Cache Cleaner NG is AMAZING too I constantly use it to clear my cache on my phone and SD card.

I every other day go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and go through all the apps and clear their cache's individually to clear up memory on my phone.

Also I see you have DS36's thread in your sig, using his guide to move apps from data/app to system/app and deleting unused apps is phenomenal it's made my phone run soooooo much better.

So honestly IMHO KaosFroyo is the most stable, and using the right launcher, phone cleaning tools, and just common sense can make your phone the best it can be.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILikeBubbles:
nothing else to say. . .

Not much else to say, Nonsensikal was my first ROM and i used it for about a month, i switched a few times after that because it was starting to lag but i realize now that that was because of LauncherPro. I'm using KGB now which i absolutely love! its still pretty much in Beta but v9 should be out soon and things should be fixed. it's very stable and very sexy (kaos's stuff just tends to be sexy though i love that splash screen!!). KGB has consistently run more quickly and smoothly than when i did have sense, which i had for a long long time. i didn't root or flash my phone until January of 2011 and received my phone in September of 2009 so i've had a lot of time to hate sense :3

nonsensikal

I've been loving nonsensikal since the first moment I tried it. Totally snappy. No more missed calls because the freaking lag is so bad. I've put it on 5+ other people's Erises and they all love it.

It's been almost 10 months on nonsensikal and I still haven't found anything better! I'm actually still on v5.4 because later versions killed my bluetooth tethering. I'll probably stick with it until there's a really stable Gingerbread build.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPCookieMan:
I am trying to get used to the slight lag that comes with GB. The best launcher HANDS DOWN is not Launcher Pro, but HE-Launcher. It is the fastest launcher you will find, and you can give the GB look to any rom. Plus it changes styles. (NinjaBlur Sense Espresso GB Froyo MotoBlur) If anyone hasn't tried this launcher, TRY IT!

As for the fastest rom, try a 2.1 rom if you can deal with the lack of features. I was sitting on TheCookieRom and it was nice and snappy. Lag free.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoxp:
I would have to say GSB v1.2 is the fastest right now in my opinion after switching from KaosFroyo v39 to Tazz's cm7 version. GingerShedBread is the way I am sticking right now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I've been running GSB 1.2 for several days now, and I have to strongly disagree with this. It's not any faster than anything else, from what I have experienced, and is showing some slight and occasionaly odd UI lags, even with animations turned off. It's quite comparable to any of the Eris Froyo ROMs that I have run otherwise; certainly no faster. And, though I do not use GPS navigation myself, if you do, apparently it will not hold a GPS signal for very long, if that's one of the things that you are going to do.

I agree that it's stable and remarkable for a very early build, but it's no faster than anything else.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoxp:
I can respect that, I should have said out of the ones that I have used since I have not tried a whole lot compared to most people.

[General Questions and Answers] russiandivxclub:
Hello all and right away I'd like to start with this. Please don't think of me like I don't want to do no work at all as you'll understand later on I did a lot of research but I am simply too confused and stuck to continue with confidence that I know 100% all nuances and details so I can do whatever I want successfully so if possible don't flame my questions too if possible :D

A Week ago I got a T-Mobile t959 Vibrant as a gift from someone and because I know pretty much everything about iphone and Android system is same if not more "hackable" I decided to do the tricks myself, I didn't know how much available, and I really love to keep this short and don't bored you with my lack of Android knowledge. Let me begin with complete spec so I possibly can get correct solution to my problem.

Unit: Samsung Galaxy S

Carrier: T-Mobile

Model: SGH-T959

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband: T959UVJI6

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build number: ECLAIR.UVJI6

Manuf. Date: 10.10.2010

I think this should be enough info about my unit but if you need something else plz let me know.

Here are things I am trying to do and already did.

1. Root.

I Successfully Rooted my phone by using a tutorials I found on internet. I have Superuser icon in my apps list.

2. Unlock

I could not unlock my phone. Only tool I found that I can actually understand and complete instructions is SGS Unlock tool. It could not help me on both root and un-root ways. So I'll need help with this.

3. Update to latest version.

from what I understand there are custom builds available like Darkys 9.2 and it's collection of a lot of things that pretty much all in one deal. I almost tried to install it myself but I could not find home button on my Vibrant to go to download mode so I gave up.

4. Rest of cool stuff.

I really don't know guys but I am sure there is soo much for android I don't know. Just like when people come to me with iphone I offer so much I bet it's same with this. General tips I guess.

Well that's it guys. If possible please just tell me in few short words on how to do this things if possible may be some YouTube video or something cause I am soo confused with everything and that "Hold Home button" in instructions was last drop when I said "I don't even have home button on my phone, what am I doing"

Please help, Thank you.

P.S.

1. Can I use ebay to order unlock code ?

2. Will phone remain unlock after I upgrade to 2.2 ?

3. Can I upgrade to 2.2 with Kies mini then root / unlock it ?

So many questions and thousands of answers .....

UPDATE !

I just purchased SGS Unlock pro and it looks like it worked ! I don't have sim to test with but I think I did it. From what I understand it's same people who run this site, Thank you !

So after going through 3 Eris handsets and finally finding a CSR who had enough to sympathy on me to send out an Incredible, I've now gone through 2 of the latter. Both have reboot loop issues, the first wouldn't even go past the quietly brilliant screen while the second can go four hours before deciding not to work for an hour. This is the most frustrating thing I've ever been through. I'm gonna try to talk customer service into a new Inc instead of a refurbished one and see if that changes anything. Otherwise I'm just going to keep the third Eris and steal my moms upgrade in June I guess.

Moral of the story, just because something looks better doesn't mean it always is.
[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
I went through 3 Eris's and I'm on my second D2, which I haven't had any problems with. The refurbs from Verizon are hit and miss, mostly miss. Good luck getting them to send you a new one. I have a feeling your going to have to put up a good fight for that. Hopefully it works out for you though.
[Droid Eris General] zerocool79346:
Fortunately I've had nothing but good experiences with customer service. I'll ETF my contract if they refuse to help and I'll go to Sprint.
[Droid Eris General] gee7201:
Never had an issue with my original new devices on Verizon, so never had to deal with the refurb. But I'd still take mom's in June and get something hardcore (Like the Merge?)
[Droid Eris General] zerocool79346:
If the third one coming on Tuesday has the same issue then that's exactly what I'll do.
[Droid Eris General] eriscat:
I was hoping for the Merge as well, but everything that I have seen rumored about it lately says it is going to Alltel. (several sites are posting that the Merge passed FCC yesterday for Alltel) So probably it wont be in your average Verizon store. :( I was hoping for an HTC device that has something smaller than a the mammoth 4.3 inch screen and the keyboard was something of a bonus to me.
[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
I'll probably be going with an HTC device when I get my upgrade/ get a different carrier. Moto has made me never want to buy another phone from them because of the efuse, and the Evo is awesome....
[Droid Eris General] zerocool79346:
Hopefully the Bionic will not be locked down, HTCs QC is really beginning to worry me.
[Droid Eris General] ngc604:
Why would they not lock down the bionic after the success they had with the x? Sales and security wise. Locking it down didn't hurt either company. A tier 3 Verizon tech told me not to be surprised if it's businessas usual. They know I'm rooted and "hacked" so I don't care. Time to leave Verizon because they want **** locked down as hard as possible.
[Droid Eris General] wwonka69:
what did you say to get them to send you a different phone? Does threatening to cancel your contract early work?
[Droid Eris General] zerocool79346:
I agree that it is probably wishful thinking on my part, but never know, it might happen.

I just told the tech lady that after having had 3, I was really not looking to get another one and she just gave it to me, no ifs, ands, or buts. They've already offered to send me an X because of the Inc trouble, but I said I'd give the Inc one more shot, so tomorrow is HTC's last chance to redeem themselves in my eyes.
[Droid Eris General] Jaimie_M:
Hit or miss again... my husband tried it with Verizon and the rep told him Quote: "go ahead." there was no help at all, no "You've been such loyal customer for 10+ years... what can we do to help?", no "Sorry to see you go." nothing, just a basic "Ba-bye!" He is now with Sprint and so far very happy.
[Droid Eris General] zerocool79346:
This one works! Only problem I've found with it so far is an unexplained lagginess while on the charger, but that I can live with. I wouldn't have had a problem leaving Verizon for Sprint over this issue, it would've been completely unacceptable for them to leave me hanging after all the issues I've had with them, and I would've gladly taken my money elsewhere.

Recovery

Hi, Did you try using the 3 button trick to access your recovery?

3 buttons would be holding: Home, Power, Volume up (all at the same time for a few seconds). This might not work as I hear some Galaxy S phones have it enabled and some don't.

Also, to flash clockwork recovery, the easiest way is to download "Rom manager" and let it flash the clockwork recovery for you.

Additionally, If you want to boot into recovery while your phone is still running, then download "Quick Boot." It does all the work for you and either, takes you to recovery, or the bootloader or simply reboots your phone if you so wish.

Hope this helps!

[Streak 5 General] besony:
I have seen that happen once in last one day!

(Its my first day with streak, and I have really loaded the phone with market apps! lolz.)

I guess there must have been some conflict-condition with multi installed apps here.

Have you tried factory reset? ( works for many such issues..)

I will try that, if it happens again et-all!

[Streak 5 General] rptw:
this topic is all over the forums and people have cracked it down to too much static on the screen which confuses the capacitive sensors. a quick easy fix someone suggested that has worked for me is a screen recalibration but if the problem persists there really isnt a fix. the quickest way to recover the screen is to get rid of the static by wiping your hand over the entire screen

also please your the search function in the forums as this has been discussed numerous times, thanks

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Evander_F:
The Xperia X8 is a good phone but unfortunately its battery life sucks big time. So over a week i came up with some battery saving tips to increase the battery life a little bit more.I'll update this thread if i get more tips.

1. Reduce Screen Brightness

Go to Settings>Sound &Display>Brightness and then reduce to <50%

2. Turn of WiFi and Bluetooth when not needed

Just add a the Power control widget on your homescreen and turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when not needed.

3. Turn of 3G if you dont use it (or your country doesn't support it)

Go to Settings>Wireless & network settings>Mobile Networks>Network mode and in the popup displayed just select 'GSM only'

4. Use SetCPU to change the CPU Scaling when idle.

a. Firstly download SetCPU from the market and give it superuser permissions.

b. Then select Auto-detect.It should show you the speeds your device it currently running at.

c. Move over to [Profiles] and click Enable and if you want click on Notification.

d. Make Profiles

>Sleep Profile - 384 Max/125 Min- Inactive setting

>Battery - less than 30% 600 Max/160 Min- Interactive/Conservative Setting

>Normal usage - 600 Max/125 Min (optional)

Use this tip since its much more effective​

thanks for the tip deedii

5. Charge your X8 only when its on 10% Battery and occasionally (per week maybe) fully drain your battery to increase its life. Please do not charge un-necessarily because i've noticed people charging their phones at 50% Battery (which really silly) :P Not needed actually since many members reported that we're using newer batteries.

5. WiFi Sleep Policy: Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wifi settings -> Press menu -> Advanced and set wifi sleep policy to Never -> Press Menu button and press Save.

So far these work for me. You can try it out and give me feedback. I'll update if i can find out more.

Ok, I've set the profiles how I wanted:

Charging - 600 max/480 min - performance >> Priority: 80

Main profile - 600 max/122 min - ondemand

But I've got a problem - when phone is locked it's switched to "Screen Off". But when I want to wake it up after a long time (>20 mins) it laggs so much I can't even operate through ADW. I can unlock it but then ADW freezes and it takes more than 30 secs for the phone to switch the profile back to Main Profile and sometimes it even restarts.

Any advice?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Evander_F:
I've not noticed this on my X8 but you can try increasing the max frequency to 480 and min to 122 while in screen off, priority can be set to 90 or less. It wont harm the phone. I tink your're using ADW Ex launcher, its a little heavy for our X8 so Launcher Pro would be better.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Graveir:
Thanks for the CPU settings idea, haven't thought of that :) As for charging, right now I'm testing how long can it last without plugging in (yeah, yeah, I've just plugged it to USB for a moment to download the setcpu app, but that doesn't count as charging :P), and so far it has eaten 65% since yesterday 3p.m., and I really used it a lot - music, wifi, talking, texting...

In my opinion JiT helps a lot - since the phone processes data faster it uses CPU less :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] LFSPovo:
Thanks for this! Great tips :-)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] a-k-t-w:
This is misinformation. Li-polymer batteries do not have this problem. They can be safely charged without a full discharge with no decrease in battery life.

The phone already does this.

According to Sony, this actually uses more power.

Edit: If your country does not support 3G, you will not save power by turning this off.
