Why does it say Ginger Tazz 28 s.r.e but when you download it, it says Ginger Tazz 27... Oh well, i flashed it and like it better than GSB v 3.5 as of right now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
There were issues with 28 and he pulled it..
[Droid Eris Android Development] AdamFerg:
Gotcha, has anyone seen any prominent issues?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pngaudioguy:
With 27 SRE, I have had 0 issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rickyjohn:
Anybody have 9x zoom? I read something about double tapping the screen.....dont work for me. anybody got info on this or a fix?

EDIT - found the fix!
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:
You have to zoom by using the manual switch there in bottom left after zooming wwith that you Gould be able to double tap

Back to CM7. :) Sense is fun and very pretty... like a vacation to the mountains. but it's good to be back home. ^^ have i ever mentioned Tazz how it's so awesome that you've given us all 3 choices ( i would have capitalized '3' but it's hard to emphasize a number haha. maybe i'll bold. xD) to give us the best overall android experience for us. <3 you're the best!

p.s. can't wait for cm8! ICE CREAM SANDWICH *****ES!!! /convulsion
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Agreed. Tazz is an awesome ROM maker, and Ice Cream Sandwich will be the Android Version to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them!
[Droid Eris Android Development] emarietta:
only if we can somehow use the sense 3.0 lockscreen with this rom.. it would be perfect
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
Exactly! But sense does deserve some credit. And Tazz is totally incredible for getting it onto our little phones. ^^

how did you solve the rebooting in v3?

edit: if i were you i would stay with v3 if all is working well. i have everything except usb mounting and brightness on v3.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
He did a battery pull, it worked for me too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
I wonder how many of the people that are having problems are still flashing gapps? I still think this is part of the problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
gotcha. thanks. i missed the original post of v3 and original problems. it was pulled by the time i saw an update.

re: gapps. I agree that seems to be part of the problem. no flash gapps = no problem here. i'm gonna see if my wife will let me steal her phone when she gets of work tonight so i can try to flash this rom to her phone also. see if it works doing the same thing i did to mine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
hey bus ,,mjb413,,, im tryin the new nightly,, im not gunna post it,, ill send u two a link if its ok ,,, if this dont work i dont know what to do ,, i still have no issues which makes it hard to trouble shoot:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] zackw:
That's the weird thing too.. I also flashed gapps, still no issues. Once I did the unplug USB/battery pull, Gapps installed fine and I been runnin smooth ever since. Seems like there's no real rhyme or reason for the issues..

I should state though that I have NEVER used an apps2sd partition on this phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
yeah i have not either.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
again guys im really sorry u guys are haven these issues,,, u guys know i test this alot before i release it,,, this is why i just dont know wtf is goin on :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
kinda hard to catch prerelease problems if you don't have them. heck microsoft sure doesn't apologize when they have massive issues with their releases, they just make patches... lots and lots of patches. :-)

edit: sure i'll test when i get the link and let you know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
I have no problem with that. I will be out of the house here in a little while so I won't be able to flash it until later.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
I think by performing the battery pull you stopped what is causing the reboots, and by not flashing gapps it never starts. Of course this is just a hypothesis. I have also noticed something is eating up memory. This may part of the problem too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
bro I'm having no problems. At startup some apps failed to install, but that's cause the Rom is underclocked so much it can perform to install 65 apps. It's my last full day and I know I need my phone to work for the random times ill have it. And I trust this one will be fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
mine works perfect. just wiped and flashed 3.5

great job thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
does your usb-mount work? does brightness work? did you flash gapps or format your sd card?

see tazz, its more than four people that get it to work....lol :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Everything seems fine for me bro. Only thing here is the brightness fc and the notification fc when mounting usb. :D flashed 3.5.1 no gapps and formatted sd
[Droid Eris Android Development] wally19:
First off Tazz Awesome job.

Was on V1 for a while until V3 came. Was rocking V1 with awesome Batt Life. had to go back to KF for Wifi. Never have I got that good of batt life. Thanks! Now on V3 it is not as good, but on par with other roms I have run. That is not the issue I seem to be having however.

What I am noticing is when I flashed you rom over KFv39, there seems to be some settings lingering over. 1. my ringtones stayed the same. 2. My wireless access points are all still there. When I flashed V1, I did not format my sd card. But when I did v3, I did format my sd card.

So my question is are the system and data partitions getting completely wiped prior to flashing? Is there a way to completely wipe them so we are starting with a fresh slate and have no lingering parts of previous roms? Before flashing the roms, I wiped data, dalvik, then flashed (PG-13 mind you) and then Wiped both again and reflashed. And I still have the effects of a few leftover parts of previous roms. I am getting ready to try and flash 3.5.1 and I am going to format my sd card again. I would like to wipe/format system and the data partitions prior to flashing if that may help. Just wondering what are your thoughts.

Any one with insite feel free to chime in.

Thanks,

Walter
[Droid Eris Android Development] ianoob:
Mine seems to be working fine. Brightness FC and USB causes the status bar to FC (I had that issue on GSB 1.2 after I flashed c2c). Erased SD, partition with zero in recovery, changed to ext4, pulled SD and added 3.5 from my laptop, wiped everything but battery and rotation, flashed, set up Google account (told it I wanted recovery of apps), canceled 1st gapps, then sat back and waited for Google to sync and add my apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ianoob:
Some of those settings are saved by google (I think). Now that I think of it, some roms have a format option instead of erase... I'll flash some older ones and see what I see
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
Really need help

OK...now I really need some help. I backed up my phone, wiped completely, re-formatted the SD, and installed GB. I had some significant things not working so I wiped the phone again, SD etc. and tried reinstalling Froyo. Here is the problem.

Nothing will install. I can get into Amon no problem and everything seems to work properly within recovery. Wipe, dalvik wipe, etc. What happens, no matter what ROM I try to flash, is a failure like symlink failure. The result is sohewhat different depending on the ROM, but the Installation always aborts with an Error 7. I have re-downloaed ROMS, no dice. I even tried restoring to to 2.1 and losing root with Flashback which I used before. No dice. I have swapped SD cards. Same problem.

Am I bricked, or is there something I haven't tried through adb that might help?

UPDATE: I was just successfully able to reinstall GB 3.5...booting now
[Droid Eris Android Development] BeinDroid:
brightness works perfect.

no flash apps, just start and cancel first request then go to market and they all fully restore.

no format sd card... i figured if it worked for Tazz i wanted to try without the wipe.

dont know on usb mount... missing my cable.

I always download onto my phone and move with astro then install no adb push

looks like July 7.... happy birthday to me.. What do you guys think about moving to T-Mobile? I want the Sensation for my boyfriend but I don't know if i would want to lug around a phone much bigger than 3.2"... his DX is like a tablet in my hands... i was thinking maybe i could go with the G2x because it's only 4 inch however it's running a Tegra 2... and to me Qualcomm > Nvidia... so... idk if i could sport a 4.3" though that's what this all comes down to. Anyway what are you guys going to do if this happens? this may be Ghettro's chance to move up in the world. sprint's too. i really hope that T-Mobile doesn't get bought out by AT&T though because T-Mobile's services isn't nearly as bad. not as good as Verizon but nowhere near AT&T
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
I'm REALLY hoping it won't apply to existing customers even upon renewal. And if it does, I hope they have some fallout. For me, I'm not sure I even use 2GB a month since I always have wifi on at home and don't do much with videos, etc, when I'm out and about. But still - pretty frustrating. Especially to say that they are doing it so that customers can choose they plan that is right for them. So I can "choose" to pay the same amount for 2GB rather than unlimited access? Great choice!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
More information here: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/20/verizon-tiered-data-plans-coming-july-7-starting-at-30/

They have a memo that was sent to Verizon employees in this article.
[Droid Eris Android Development] knipp21:
I vote we send a petition to Verizon...I think $15 for 2gb..$30 for 5 or 10...and $45 for unlimited would make more sense...I might even consider the 45 if it included a 2gb tether...
[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
One important bit from that link..."These new plans wouldn't affect anyone currently under contract"......I've heard similar talk about data restrictions before and then as now when I asked Verizon they have told me I wouldn't be affected ... it was only for new customers. Of course it could be cuz I have a corporate phone...
[Droid Eris Android Development] ozzyager:
I definitely agree. So far I have been grandfathered into "old" plans. However, with the recent end to "new every two" even for established customers, I'm not so sure...

I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out. I like to speculate as much or more than the next guy, but we won't know for sure until it goes into practice.
[Droid Eris Android Development] iggypop123:
they better grandfather us in. if not id consider sprint, but the bad part is then they will do the same. expensive data is here to stay sadly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jayandvic:
Hey tazz..... Sorry about everything going on. Don't let it do you in. Take some time away from everything and get your self right. We all appreciate everything you have done here. I know my phone seems to work best with your stuff.

As far as the new rom, I have gps freeze issues with it. I went back to v27 and everything is great. Just wanted to let you know. I have seen chatter in other threads on this as well. It seems hit or miss per rom and phone.

Thanks again for helping keep my little phone fun while I impatiently await the end of my contract so I can go back to Sprint.

[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
I think that if the people revolt, get the smallest data plans and use wifi all the time ... its possible that the price of data will fall, unfortunately that will take a huge movement. But in the end it will come down anyway I think. Texting used to be expensive, so did voice. Now they're dirt cheap because data is the hot new thing. When something else comes along data will drop.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
hhhmm I hope they figure it out cuz I've used it for.2 days testing with no issues.. I have 2 Eris phones. Both work fine :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] cszui:
Maybe the issues were with the newer version of maps. I've been having problems on occasions with the updates to google maps, and I'm still running v12. Planning to update right now and excited to see everything I've been missing out on for the past couple months.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cszui:
Ummm, I never did this thing with deleting the android secure folder before, just to make certain... is that the folder labelled "Android" that I see when I connect the USB?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
It should say .android_secure (including the period) I'm pretty sure...

Has anyone else notices iffy data? I reprogramed my phone (*228) and there was a different on screen protocol... I think maybe verizon released a new program or something to deal with 4g since Tazz completed the rom... I have no idea of course but it sounds good. Lol anyway since I did that the data has been phenomenal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Letitride:
Hmmm, you might be onto something that I've just noticed myself after running a quick check - yulp, my usual 1x (3G, ha.ha) speed at home is faster - anyway from 50% to 100% better - around 286 kbps down and 345 kbps up, and -83 dbm instead of -86 dbm (improved with the Sprint radio, was -90 dbm before).

To get a stronger 3G signal & speed, I would need to go 1.5 miles south toward our Main Street, LOL - no wonder I'm using an average of 400 MB data a month even after switching to the Eris, taking advantage of true cable broadband turbo speed whenever I can, etc.

Off topic & unrelated to OP, if this latest "interpretation" of grandfathering data for existing VZW customers will hold up after July 7th, even when one switch & activate a different "advanced" replacement device, upgrade to a new one (TB) or what not, then it's good for retention. All plans for renewing or extending our current contract are on indefinite hold (DW's will be out of contract in less than 30 days and my primary in 7 months) even though I get a generous 22% corporate discount on primary including data.

****

On GT-The End SRE rom, my trial run is over for the time being, it's very smooth & responsive overall thus far. Did a full system/data wipe, deleted secure_android folder, clear cache & dalvik wipe 3 times, and flash ROM & May 2011 Gapps - VZ Apps icon showed up in the Market (a nice surprise, huh) - and downloaded my apps again to install. Everything worked but, GPS starting FC's and freezing, announcing "GPS signal lost" while I'm in Car Mode - NAV or Map within a few minutes, and unable to auto recover and resume. Had to exit & restart the Apps (not always safe & possible when driving behind the wheels) - not sure if a weak radio receiver played a role too.

Battery life on standby is fine, but it drained pretty quickly while running NAV or browsing the web, and a short 4 minute Google Voice call dropped the battery level by close to 10% - a little puzzled as I'm using all stock/default settings for the ROM.

As others said, GPS signal problems are not unique to various Eris custom ROM floating around, but also extend to other Droid devices - especially when running Gingerbread?? Back on CS's CM7-V11 ROM for the time being as it's giving my Eris the least bit of FC's, freeze & problems in general, and battery life is better in contrast to GT.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
wel l i still dont get this gps issue for some,,, just got back from pittsburgh and used it there and back,, no losing signal no fc at all ,,,:confused: i just dont get it

It looks like Verizon does have new PRL updates(*228) as of a few days ago. Previous one was from the end of April...my PRL went from 52297 to 52341. Different areas get different numbers but the new ones should be something like 523## most places.
