the unlimted plan is supposely done with this summer i just read a article about it says the new plans might be 200mb for 15 bucks and 2gigs for 30bucks haha i hope thats wrong cuz how the hell you going go from unlimited for 30 to 2gigs for 30bucks get the f outa here
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
There is a Gimp for Windows bro... and David's batch processor works on Windows Gimp as well...and Android signer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] formerflyboy:
I knew the unlimited plans were on their way out but I'd think that they could only end it as the contacts expire.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
If that's true that will be the final blow to make me a USCellular customer...big red is really f-ing things up for their customers.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I've run a 480x800 boot animation before but it could be slow, not as smooth, and not fit the screen correctly so it would be best to follow drakko's advice and resize.

You certainly can replace the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with but I prefer to place it in /data/local as it will override the original and all you have to do to revert is delete the new one. Another advantage is that it survives through ROM flash if a full data wipe isn't needed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] formerflyboy:
On yet another topic...what file manager is recommended by you folks? I have both ES Strong and Astro from my Froyo days but neither will manipulate system files for me anymore. ES had root access, too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:
That may be how they do it. Don't have a link to the article but I read it from the news and weather genie widget. Just said they were planning in doing it fall of 2010 and now saying this summer I'd assume they wouldn't just change our contracts midway so I wouldn't worry bout that. But it is motivation to switch carriers. I'm really liking the HTC sensation for T-Mobile
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i was told u will be grandfathered in,,,,
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
If you don't mind paying, Root Explorer is considered by most to be the best.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:
I hope so but I could see them renigging and switching up when you renew your contract. Haha its crazy data is like gold to these companys
[Droid Eris Android Development] formerflyboy:
I've looked into switching but my job takes me all over the country and I don't think anybody else has the coverage area but I could be wrong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Inside the boot animation file, there should be a text file and 2 folders. If you open the text file, the first 2 sets of numbers are the animation size. Change those to 320 480 and it should work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Ok, I found GIMP for Windows, and the Batch Processor and resized all the images. Zipped it all up, and used zipsigner. Put bootanimation.zip into data/local and all i get is a black screen. I made a backup before I copied the file, and the phone just came up, booted fine. Looks like the boot animation didn't work.

I'm gonna try attaching it here, hopefully its not too big. Perhaps one of you could help me figure out what I did wrong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i charge 19.95 a day for things posted in my thread :D lmfao :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
Here, try this... you just forgot to edit the "desc" file and change it to the size you changed the images to... see if it works now

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25219394/bootanimation.zip
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
Lmao...i'll send you another donation...:eek:
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
lol i was kidding
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
nope, didn't work. Glad you figured that one out though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
lol, i was too...er..sort of...I do think you deserve more than what i gave you last, cause you've created what...5/6 roms for us now that are sucky as hell, and i've used every damn one of them, and i'm sure you've got a few more up your sleeve...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I don't sweat that bro.. I'm having fun :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
lol...yeah, got your new toy in the forum now:D btw, is the new lockscreen the one from sense 3.0?
[Droid Eris Android Development] formerflyboy:
I went ahead and bought it. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisdenile:
just flashed V3.5 and went through activation screen, hit cancel to download apps till after done with setup, go to download google maps and it downloads then says unsuccessful, now getting rebooting every 20sec. I reformatted by unmounting from phone then hitting erase all data. Sorry if theres a different way to reformat.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
cache2cache moves the temporary files associated with programs to the sd card, it keeps more memory free on your device even as your programs store more temporary files (here is the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924562 ). i use it so i don't need apps2sd.

and no there should be no need to flash kernel.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
sounds like you followed instructions pretty well. sorry they seem to be fairly convoluted currently. still need a few more people to solidify a sure-fire method. i booted to recovery, mounted my phone to my computer, and formatted the drive in windows. just the standard my computer-> right click on e (or whatever your eris drive is) then click format. try formatting the card that way. the other suggestion is to wait a while (10-15min) before installing any applications to see what the market restores on your phone without you. see how that works and post back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
I'm just giving up. Sorry, I just can't get this to work. I formatted and it still doesn't work for me. I'll try again some other day :-(
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
some of the ambiguity should be ironed out in a couple of versions. sorry for the trouble. have you tried gingershedbread? the only major issue with the most recent release is the gps will lock on for a minute then stop. still recommended to format sd card. with that one you have to flash the rom then immediately gapps. run through the whole setup including the gapps. shouldn't have the restart problems... but like i said, no gps. shame on me for supporting another developer in tazz's thread...lol. since all the developers have such a rivalry and don't all work together on projects ;-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] fo0you:
The exact same thing happened to me, and I reformatted my SD in Linux. Booted up and went through the setup without a hiccup, hit cancel on the download apps, went to the market after setup and the rebooting begins. It just drops out of the VM layer, not a full reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
v3.5 or v3.51? if you had problems on one maybe try the other. or u can try again. my first flash i somehow lost root. raflash of same image fixed it. i'm using 3.5 without issues, but i know several users have 3.51 running. sorry i dont have more help for ya.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I'm running straight v.3. No problems really, little less space than kf 39. However my adw is running crappy since I restored my kf settings. Any suggestions. However the camera is amazin.

(edit) and xda app loads like rocks (edit)

Eclair: fat n lazy

froyo: cool

Gingerbread: runs and makes houses

What would you want?
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
It's just getting so aggrevating lol ! I reformatted and only put the tazz 3.5 rom on my card. then when i flashed and rebooted, i got to the activation screen and got an error saying the multi-touch keyboard had force closed. when i click ok, it goes right back to the splash screen and just keeps doing this over and over. i'm just going back to kf v39 until this gets fixed, or going to frosheds 2.3

Hopefully I can get it working sometime soon Tazz, I really like your work and would love to have YOUR rom up and running on my eris !
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I give up. I have no idea what's goin on.. I.have absolutly no issues and have had non since I released this rom.. we'll besides wifi but its fixed now....

I do nothing but wipe. Then flash..I just don't get it:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
Installed V3. Nearly perfect. Market continually misses apps I have installed. No rhyme or reason to it, just working around it. Sometimes I have to re-register the Google acct after reboot. It's my new daily. A2SD worked out of the box.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
That happened to me. If you have the gingerbread keyboard... flash it and you're all good

Eclair: fat n lazy

froyo: cool

Gingerbread: runs and makes houses

What would you want?
[Droid Eris Android Development] theoemrys:
Tazz, could it be that these issues come from ext4 not being set up right? I thought you mentioned you had problem with this on your old thread when you were working on the first release. When. I switched over to gbd I firmated my card in amon and set up partitions then. Would (could) this be the root of poeples issues? I haven't had time to try v3 yet but am looking forward to it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
How is there not a black theme!!!!!???? Not related, but I loved stock black on cm6.

[Droid Eris Android Development] ijerk:
:help: no USB functionality :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
unfortunately this seems to be an issue. you can mount from recovery or just use dropbox as work arounds until it gets fixed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
no worries. it'll get worked out. i'm not all that familiar with logcat, but if you can point me in the direction of a tutorial, i can see if i can capture what is going on when my usb mount fc's. it is strange that different people are having completely different issues though. let me know if i can help with anything.

edit: the way i have it working, it's my new daily and will soon be my wife's also as long as her phone behaves the way mine does.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Monzsta:
I had the same rebooting issue. I fixed it by reflashing the gapps and Verizon fix from recovery. No more restarts. The market downloads weren't working right so after it "finished " I just uninstalled Google maps and the others and reinstalled them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zackw:
After reading all these posts, I'm almost afraid to upgrade. Currently I am running plain V3 and am having absolutely no issues with it after I solved the rebooting problem. USB mounting works, KB works, WiFi, brightness.. everything works, and not a single reboot in 12 hours. And I never formatted my SD either.

And I just know if I make a nand of this, it'll never run the same if I reflash it..
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
hhhmm this is how it is for every verzion for me :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:
Haha that's the best post I've seen all day. Awesome
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I got it working with the some changes to drakko's version with the correctly edited desc.txt. First, I converted all of the images from bmp to png since those bitmaps were huge(438kb each) compared to each png(33kb). This is also needed because for the boot animation to work, the zip file needs to be created without any compression(store mode). So zip up desc.txt, part0, and part1 in store mode as bootanimation.zip. You don't actually need to sign it so you can go ahead and "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local". Now reboot and you should see it run.

Note: if you use a file manager to move it from the sdcard instead of pushing it with adb, you might need to change the permissions and owner:group to have it work. After pushing with adb, /data/local/bootanimation.zip has permissions rw-rw-rw-(666) with the owner and group both set to root(0).

Edit: Added a version that doesn't squash Andy to make him look fat. I also optimized all of the png images using pngrewrite, optipng, and pngout to shrink the image sizes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
Good catch bro.. I wasn't even looking to see if they had it in png....which as you said is needed...so hats off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I need a new lockscreen... it's the only untouched screen left lol. Hell my music widget is transparent ...now transparent xda... where?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
NICE. What a post season!!!!!!!:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
What's with the new gapps? I still don't see it on cmwiki or goo-inside.me... but some people apparently have it... am I missing something?

I'm spending mine where that dude belongs :eek:
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
*sigh* these are just the latest crazy people to say the end of the world is coming (see 1970's). My question is, why the hell are we not trying to get off this rock!? By the time we realize that all of our natural resources are used up and this planet won't support us anymore, it will be too late to build any sort of space ark to take us to another planet. We need to restart the space program and work on FTL drives if we as a species is to survive another 1000 years.

Thats just my little rant.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
lol its funny as hell tho,, people across the country selling their belongings lol these people need to be locked up somewhere lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
That worked! I'm learning more about Android every time I try this sort of stuff.

It almost seems like an App with SU permissions should be able to do this. Perhaps I'll write that app someday...
[Droid Eris Android Development] DrkSynDc8:
What am I going to do for the last day on Earth? Same thing I do every weekend - get in my spaceship and go back home! Lol!

SHHHHH! Are you trying to get us captured by the Anti-Alien Government forces!? Wait for the signal!!!

(Just kidding. I'm not an alien sleeper agent. And I'm not a time traveling alien either.)

Hey! I'm allowed to be here! I've got my Soylent GREEN card to prove it! ;)

Got bored and decided to capture a logcat when Netflix (the one with disabled device check) fails to start streaming the video.

Looked at it briefly myself and found a few interesting lines of code:

I/ActivityManager( 140): Process android.process.media (pid 364) has died.

I/BootReceiver( 140): Copying /data/tombstones/tombstone_01 to DropBox (SYSTEM_TOMBSTONE)

I/WindowManager( 140): WIN DEATH: Window{40905608 com.netflix.mediaclient/com.netflix.mediaclient.PlayerActivity paused=false}

E/OMXNodeInstance( 97): !!! Observer died. Quickly, do something, ... anything...

Then there was this part that mentioned something about DRM:

I/systemInfoAndroidOMX( 1839): Got IServiceManager interface
I/systemInfoAndroidOMX( 1839): Got IBinder interface to media.player
I/systemInfoAndroidOMX( 1839): Got IMediaPlayerService interface

E/systemInfoAndroidOMX( 1839): CheckOMX drm.play is not available
E/systemInfoAndroidOMX( 1839): CheckOMX drm.play is not available done

I have it attached for those interested. Not sure why DoggCatcher crashed in the middle of this logcat. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Hey bro, you're not charging for updates after the Rapture, are you? lol :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
I think in one of the hero threads there is a drm fix for netflix, then again it may have been in one of the 20 some odd others I'm following so don't quote that...lmao
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
I lost my theme Chooser somehow ... can someone float me the apk????
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
theme chooser

http://www.multiupload.com/Q5U7JHA19S

theme manager

http://www.multiupload.com/GTI506N8PT
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
Theme Chooser won't install...grrr...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Push through adb. System apps wont install the same as other aps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I was gonna say that also.thanx man got side tracked lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
You can also place them into system/app with root explorer and then longpress on the apk and set permissions while in root explorer. There's also a flashable zip to add them in the op of my themes. It installs an older version but still works them same.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:

[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Can't open it here.. they have that site blocked here.. pricks.. I'll check it out tomorrow when I have my phone.

I added a zip to my OP with that has the newly compiled Email apk with the changes made that is supposed to fix the sync stoppage on exchange mail if anyone wants to test it on this rom too. It should work on any of the CM7 roms. I can't test it myself for several reasons.. one being that i don't use exchange mail.. also for other obvious reasons.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
it affects those who watch movies on their phone and being rooted :eek:
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Oh lol. I don't do that anyway. I do like the 1 week free trial of sirius/xm though. I'm waiting now to see if after my week, can I uninstall the app, reinstall it and make a new email address and then sign up for another free week with the new email address... I'm sure I can come up with 52 different email addresses a year..... :eek::rolleyes:

OK.. I'm out now. I can't keep my eyes open any longer tonight
[Droid Eris Android Development] drakko1980:
That's just bs man....what's next any app on the market is not gonna work cause Google decides they want to go against their own open source policy? Shame on you google...didn't you learn from iPhone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Hey tazz, when I updated to the latest build, I noticed that ADWlauncher had been removed. How can I get it back?
[Droid Eris Android Development] empathyislost:
download it from the market. it's free.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
Wireless tether for Root Users does not appear in the market with this version. Help? Any ideas why?
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Verizon banned it from the market. You can probably find a .apk of it floating around here somewhere.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Its Verizon blocking it in the market. You will have to find an .apk and sideload it.

I've been looking into Netflix and came across these patches that replace the media library stack with ones that work with Netflix. They only work with Gingerbread ROM's. This comes from the Thunderbolt forums, and they are so stuck up about having awesome phones that they won't help me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090706

Tried to flash these in recovery and AmonRa recovery says they were unsigned. Used Zipsigner to sign them, and they still gave me an error. I figured Tazz and others might know where these files would go on an Eris and fix the patch for our old Eris'es.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
that lib goes in system/lib folder bro and hey im a tb owner lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
oh right, forgot ^_^

So what, I reboot into recover, do some voodoo with ADB and push the files into system/lib ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
u can push it or, use root explorer or something to place it there
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Oh. So I copy the file to system/lib, replacing whatever files are there and then reboot? I've already made a backup so I'm not worried about screwing anything up.

Ok. Here goes nothing!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
You can download an apk of any version here. I installed the 3.0pre14 experimental version recently and it seems to be working fine after selecting HTC Hero (CDMA) for the device-profile in the settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
You'll probably also want to change the permissions/owner to rw-r--r--(644)/root:root(0:0) if you use root explorer to copy from your sdcard instead of pushing the files with adb.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Oh now you tell me.

Is there any easy way to select multiple files in Root Explorer for copy/paste? Ditto for changing the attributes and permissions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
The option to multi-select comes up when you press menu. Don't think you can change permissions/owner quickly in root explorer though.

Can do it in terminal emulator though:

su

#system partition needs to be r/w if not already
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 644 /system/lib/*.so
chown 0:0 /system/lib/*.so
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Ok, so I copied the minimal patch file over and set the permissions. Tried Netflix and it didn't work. It looked like it was going to load, but never manages to play. In fact it got farther in playing (the controls would show up) before I copied the file.

I'll reboot and try again to make sure, but the minimal doesn't look like its working.

If I change the attributes of the files while they are on the SD card and then copy them over, will they still keep those attributes after the copy operation?
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
You won't be allowed to change permissions or owner of the files while on the sdcard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
not sure if u saw what i posted the other day but if u are rooted,, they are trying to block the ability to stream movies
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Yeah, I figured out that one. That was sure a pain finding all the files, changing the attributes and owners. I see why they make flashable scripts.

Thats only with Google Movies, this is Netflix. There are 100's of rooted phones that are streaming Netflix now that these modified APK's are working.

Should be all done. One final reboot for good measure then I'll test it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
lol ok i dunno i dont use it
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Ah crap. Bootlooped mah phone. Will have to restore from a backup. Guess I left out a checkmark somewhere. Somebody with more experience than I will have to try and transplant these files. Excuse me while I do a battery pull on my phone...
[Droid Eris Android Development] prj71:
Thanks.

Interesting that some say it's blocked when it shows up in the market online...

That number is your voicemail number. You are probably Verizon. They use two phone numbers to circumvent clones. Do not mess with it as mostly all parameters are detected when modified.
