Quick question im running serendipity 5.11 lagfix enabled...will I have to disable before flashing? I don't want to soft brick like I did before, I don't have access to a pc. Lol

Can someone help me with flashing the CyanogenMOD 7.0.0 RC0 Gingerbread NIGHTLY for the Droid Eris. I know there is a written guide, but a video guide would help even more. I am very new to the whole rooting thing...

Pls? Thx in advance :)

Did you try searching YouTube
[General Questions and Answers] chihenglee:
yes, no videos of a gingerbread port 4 eris

[G Tablet General] dreamersrevenge:
I'm not sure if this is covered under this issue or not, but after installing Clockwork .8, TnT Lite, doing a full wipe, fixing the partition issues that are supposed to help the force close issue, then installing G-Harmony, I can't seem to get the Calendar to work right. I setup my Exchange account and was hoping to get it to fetch my calendar details as well. That'd be perfect for viewing and adding appointments while away from the office... It's not a major issue, but that and the voice search seem to be the only two apps that aren't working. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Wasn't he supposed to make some kind of announcement on Monday according to his thread? Thought something was in the works and was hoping for more since the other thread got closed.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
He did say that and I've been watching all day for this "announcement"
[Epic 4G General] popper668:
good things come to those who wait.. just chill;)
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Just hoping he didn't get banned from posting since the thread got closed by a Senior moderator. Thats all, I'm not impatient, but really excited to hear what he has to say.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
All threads in all forums (not just Epic's) by John were locked by 'upper management' so to speak with XDA, so I'm guessing they didn't like the initial approach of things for whatever reason. I PM'ed him earlier today myself and asked about it for curiosity's sake and he said 'we' were in talks with XDA and he hoped to be able to post some details again soon in a new thread. Without being privy to the particulars of all that, my guess is that they'd prefer him be isolated to some higher level 'general' XDA forum and all interaction/feedback occur in one central thread than have a separate thread with every device of theirs. But that's purely a guess on my part.

I dont want to believe this, but it makes me wonder.

His last activity was 6:49 today, so I doubt he is gonna make any post regarding what he promised.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
He's got 4 hours until its no longer Monday. He is in Texas, so its around 8PM there now. I sure hope "politics" doesn't get in the way of him making his announcement or whatever.
[Epic 4G General] chino0131:
Did anyone really think that this was going to turn into something great? I mean really? Samsungs track record for putting customers first has been proven time and time again, long before the galaxy line and long before cell phones. Not only that, look at XDA from the eyes and view of a large corporation such as Samsung... not just from the view of a dev, themer, consumer. If you've ever worked for a larger corporation/company who's main priority is profit and remaiming current and ahead of the competition you probably understand. One main priority is keeping products and control over those products within your reach, not within the reach of the consumer.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No one expects anything good from Samsung. We can at least hold on to a little bit of hope that they may change though. From MWC:

There is a small chance that they get it.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Oh how I wish for an announcement of any kind.
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
It will happen in the near future... sprint and samsungjohn will be updated by Q4 of 2011... they are working dilligently to bring 2.2 asap...blah...blah.......blah
[Epic 4G General] chino0131:
Hope I get. Acting like Samsung John was the next coming of Christ is another thing (again, not just on the Epic forums). I was hopeful as well that Samsung would get it, but the Epic is soon to be old news, to me at least.

And yes, I'm sure samsung gets it. NOW they get it. I take that to mean they won't make the same mistakes on the SG2 line that they made on our phones.
[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
Guys, please keep it civil. I know it's frustrating but if you need to rant just chill for a bit.

All this bickering isn't helping anybody.

Darkk
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
Its another disappointment from Samsung and John we got used to that story. It seems like there is a big problem epic and froyo getting along so they want some help from xda dev cuz sprint can't get their things together and who knows the deal is already made.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Sounds like a sucker move to me. They say it wont happen again to suck you into buying a a new phone with the same support, only to drop support for the last line of devices. Not buying it Mr Samsung.

As soon as another competitor has a device that has even within reasonable specs at the same time of launch, they are gonna notice why their failure has come to a reality with their next device release.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Lol.

Yano, the cynic in me, as I'm sure is true with some other people, (and I hope its not lost on those people either) believes his lack of a post today is intentional. Remember, he is a social media "analyst". Looking for what type of reactions he would get for breaking such a small "promise" sounds like a pretty good barometer to gauge just how accurate the "mass feelings of resentment" for samsung for not getting us an update sooner is.

Do believe he's the real deal? Yes, and I'm confident he will post with his details later. But I'm pretty sure he's holding off just to watch us, and see how much we hold people to verbal commitments.

We're all lab rats.

But that's just the cynic in me talkin ;)

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Its kind of weird. Senior moderators locked all of the initial threads made by SamsungJohn in all of the different forums. Now a Senior moderator locked the thread in the Captivate general forum asking WTH SamsungJohn is. Don't think I have ever seen Senior Moderators this active or at all ever before this. You can count on this thread being locked too eventually.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Sooo....lock party?
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
If only I want busy writing code. Look forward to reading it all tomorrow. Seriously I doubt john is here to help us, rather hes probably here cause Sprint and Samsung took a pr beating from mainly xda members and one company actually wishes to save face. I wouldn't expect anything from him to assist on the work going on around here!
[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
I don't think that is the case. Stock Froyo can run on the Epic just fine. Problem is the Sprint's stupid bloatware crap is holding the update back.

It's rumored that once 2.2 is out then 2.3 will be out a little later due to the issues resolved in 2.2

[Epic 4G General] tenaciousj:
Maybe word from John before lock??
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
The whole damn thing is kinda shady. If xda really stepped in that's as lame as it gets.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
So did anybody actually look up this convention he was taking about?
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
If you think we are actually getting 2.3, then I would probably start coming back to reality. It will not happen. Samsung is good for 1 official update, and with Galaxy S2, why would they release 2.3 when they could sell you another phone with 2.3?
[Epic 4G General] mykie242:
XDA stepped in to limit their liability and likely to ensure that SamsungJohn's intentions are genuine.

Be patient. This delay is good for XDA, and therefore, good for us.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Yea. It was a music/film festival thing. Made me think he was just looking for people to help develop an app related to the event or something. Either way, pretty unprofessional to promise updates on monday and not come through.

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
You're actually wrong on that part. The whole reason why 2.2 is having troubles is because a of a really bad bug in their software for touchwiz and all. After 2.2's release, 2.3 should come much quicker than you'd expect.

I remember reading this in one of noobnl's post, so I believe it.

Besides, You have to look positively in these kind of situations, amirite?

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
LOL... yes those asians are ruthless
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
He isn't arguing that its not possible. He is arguing that there is zero motivation for them to actually push 2.3 to our phones. We already gave them money and are locked in for 2 years. They want their new phones to sell.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
I hope so my friend. I really want to be positive, and I hope what you say is true, but only time will tell. I'm not disregarding the entire notion that it will happen, that it with Samsung's track record, that it may not happen at all. Having this phone since launch and being optimistic has gone bye bye. I've had to hold over by buying a used Evo and playing with CM7 and some real features.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Well after the negative PR from the lack of 2.2.x, it would be in both Sprint and Samsung's best interests to get 2.3.x on this phone line before considering it EOL.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
The hero is still for sale. We probably won't be eol for at least a year.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Just another broken promise in a long line of broken promises by Samsung. What a joke and the joke is on us.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
That's more than a bit harsh IMO. He said such before every thread he'd started was shut down, and for him to arbitrarily start posting again before he clears up whatever 'issues' there are with the XDA PTB, *that* would truly be unprofessional. There's nothing positive to be gained by him rocking the boat at this point. Best to see how things shake out first before holding him to that level of scrutiny.

This was his reply. Take it as you will my friends, and I'm going to bed. G'night XDA and hope this turns out better than my optimism.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I was wondering..I am reading over all the threads with SamsingJohn and did anyone bother to ask him what exactly is in his power to do?

I mean I know large companies have people who while have a high title in the company but at best can only offer suggestions and not actually make any changes of their own..

I also see he is his own boss, but would he need authorization from someone to throw us a bone or can he make the call..

and lastly..I still can't figure out what is it he wants..I mean I understand he is here to represent samsung as a social media guy..but I mean what kind of information does he want and what does he expect from us...and if we offer what he needs, can he give us things in return to help us in our progress..aka win win situation kind of thing...

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
It sounds more like there is going to be some sort of relationship between XDA and Samsung. I just hope its something WE will think is huge, and not just something Samsung will think is huge like an XDA theme for touchwiz or something.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
SamsungJohn has something really big up his sleeve. I have no doubt now that we should be excited, lets all hope he lives up to his potential.
[Epic 4G General] dcowboys2184:
I wonder if we getting that lg 2.5 ghz phone I heard that was coming out?
[Epic 4G General] vitreoush:
Will Believe it when I see it.

Unless it's that Samsung is (or has been) releasing source-code/drivers/modems to the Epic and other Galaxy S phones to some XDA developers, I can't really see this being anything earth-shaking. Probably something more like "samsung is now sponsoring XDA" and I dunno whether that would be a good or bad thing. Given Samsung's software track-record at this point, have a hard time being particularly enthusiastic.

<OT Rant> ehh, well samsung, you've brought this lack of enthusiasm on yourself, I started way bullish on the Epic and the other Galaxy S phones, but now I've begun waving people away from your phones because of terrible software support so don't expect such fantastic growth in the future <OT rant>

Anything might be better then nothing..mostly if he has the ability to make change..if we as a community can explain to him the benefits of what we want to both him and samsung then maybe not now but eventually we may get those things implemented...

Keep in mind, Samsung has to not only appease us as the users but the carriers as well + further their own interests as a for profit company...we have to make a relationship where its a win/win for both sides..get the point?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
It could be so many things. A confirmation of Froyo release date? A confirmation we are getting Gingerbread? Source code released day one to XDA? Huge discount on Galaxy S II phones because our phones cannot be upgraded successfully? Could be anything.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathman85:
Hello all! I rooted my EVO last month, and am running the Fresh EVO 3.5 ROM. The developer removed many of the OEM "apps" including the FM radio. (I use quotes, because things like the FM radio aren't just apps... it's part of the functionality of the phone, and without it, you're removing a capability of the phone.)

In order to get it back, I tried installing from the SD card where he stored all the removed apps, which the developer himself says wouldn't work. No surprise, it didn't work. "Application not installed"

I moved it to system/app and tried to install, whence I'm again told "Application not installed."

Downloaded the .apk (found by searching some forums), moved it into system/app and tried installing it with the same result ("Application not installed").

Tried using "AppInstaller" on the .apk, same result.

I'm frustrated that this ROM, while great in every other respect, has killed some of the functionality of my phone. If someone could help me get the FM radio back, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenk:
Try flashing this file from your recovery the same way you installed the Fresh ROM. It will install the HTC FM Radio app in your system/app. Without a zip file like this you would normally need to use an application like Root Explorer.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3000044/FM_Radio-FreshEvo-3.5.0.1-02142011.zip

P.S. Even though this is the app section its more for developing and modifying apps. In the future you should post basic questions like this in the Q&A section.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathman85:
Thanks for the help and advice.

Your .zip did install the FM radio and widget files to the system/app folder, but they still will not install. I get the same message as I did before.

Also, I have Root Explorer - that's how I moved the .apk to the system/app folder in my original attempt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
I posted a tweaked apk in flipz's thread a few month's back that should install for you, by flashing from recovery. You can give it a shot as well.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toxin715:
here you go, just flash
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenk:
I guess I am not sure what issue you are having. I am running Fresh with out FM radio installed. I was able to use root explorer to move the file to system/app, then set the permissions, and reboot and once I was back into the launcher I was able to use the HTC radio app which was not there before. After doing that I restored my backup to before having the radio app installed and tried again using the zip file I supplied, rebooted, and I was able to use the app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathman85:
^ And for some reason, I was not able to do the same. The file was in system/app, but it would not install.

Toxin715 - Worked beautifully! Thank you!

Out of curiosity, do you have anything similar for the radio widget? I get the "Application not installed" error with that, as well... it's not as big of a deal, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenk:
If you have moved the apk to /system/app on your phone you do not need to install it, just reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toxin715:
No problem, glad to help. Um you also need the widget?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
Lol, that's my zip...;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathman85:
If that had been the case, I would've never bothered trying to install it, because "FM Radio" would've shown up in my apps and I'd have been happy to post that the issue was resolved. After rebooting when I had moved it to system/app with Root Explorer, it was not in my apps list, so I tried to install it (to no avail). Even after flashing the .zip you posted (after which I had to reboot to get out of recovery), it was in system/app, but not in my apps list; when I clicked on it in Root Explorer, I was given the "Application not installed" error. Even after flashing the .zip that Toxin715 and JsChiSurf posted, it was in system/app, but not in my apps list - the difference here was that when I went into Root Explorer and clicked on it, it let me install it, so now that issue is resolved.

Similarly, the widget is in system/app, but I assure you that I am not able to use the widget (I was going to post screen shots, but since I'm a n00b, the forum won't let me).

Toxin715 - Yes, if you could provide insight (or a .zip) for the widget, I'd be extremely grateful.

JsChiSurf - Thank you! I now see that it's your .zip, I just happened to try it directly from what Toxin715 had posted, so I didn't realize it at the time. Out of curiosity, what made your .zip any different from the others that I've tried and had no success with?

And open question to all who are reading - why would the app not show in my apps list if it is installed in system/app? Could something have gone wrong during the install of my ROM that perhaps a re-flash might correct?
