As far as cases go case mate makes some good cases. If you need or want heavy duty then check otter box or trident cases out.

The black froyo theme is nice but you can only flash it with compatible roms. Check out the thread and it will tell you what its compatible with.

Please read the stickies you will save yourself alot of headaches.

I was wondering what the best rom is for the Eris? I am currently running xtrsence. No complaints on current rom, just wanted to know if there is a better one out there.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Totally personal preference. Lots and lots of great ROMs built by some very talented and dedicated developers.

Take advantage of your ability to do Nandroid backups and restores and try several out. You'll learn a ton and still be able to restore back to your last setup in just a few minutes.

What is the easiest way to restore your apps to a new rom? Titanium? I have already done a nandroid backup before I installed xtr, do I need to do another or just backup current rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spc_hicks09:
I use My Backup Pro, most people seem to like Titanium Backup better but I'm not sure what the difference is between the 2. This is my own personal preference but for a rom I would either suggest Workshed's GB Rom, or Tazz's Gingerbread Rom. I'm running Tazz's rom myself and it's flawless, Tried out Workshed's rom too and it runs just as smooth.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewe:

I'm still kinda new to rooting, roms, etc. but I've been using kaosfroyo v39 for a week or two and love it. I tried LauncherPro and the phone operates much faster and smoother than it ever did with Sense.

I am thinking about trying a gingerbread rom, though. Any suggestions?

Well personally I like worksheds rom. Regardless of which one you get you can always install launcher pro and make it your default home launcher.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
This is in response to the inquiry about how to backup and restore your apps from one ROM to another freshly flashed ROM. I use My Backup, too. I've used both that and Titanium Backup a lot and in my experience, TB is just not as reliable. Some apps would get restored but not the app's settings. Not talking about system apps, just regular apps. Personally, that was at least half the reason I wanted to restore the backups, so I wouldn't have to configure my apps from scratch again.

I have tried going back and forth between the two backup apps every once and a while after many version updates to TB, but I always found reason enough to go back to My Backup. Up to perhaps several months ago, My Backup was a lot slower than TB due to My Backup zipping the backup, but it was more reliable so I still used it. They've sped it up quite a bit now, though, so now it's no contest in my mind.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaze06:
There really is no single best ROM, it's a lot of personal preference and what you lllike to have in a ROM. I personally love GSB because not only is it the latest version of Android available, but it's totally stable after just a handful of releases, helps a lot with battery life, and is extremely smooth and fast.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
That's interesting, as a long time ago I has purchased a license for MyBackup Pro - months before I rooted, I think - but had long ago stopped using it. However, I decided to try it again with CELB a couple of weeks ago, and tried using it to reinstall all of my apps and data in GSB (I chose not to sign in to Google at the initial setup so I could install my apps myself, rather than wait for the to sync, when I installed 1.3).

Anyway, after the restore was done, it turned out that MBP had skipped several apps, without any sort of notification why. I then used TB to restore the missing apps.

This may have been an anomaly, and I'd like to try it again, but for now I have both apps firing off while I'm sleeping.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spc_hicks09:
I actually just had my first problem ever with MBP. I flashed to one of the GB themes yesterday and when I used MBP to restore my apps it restored all of them. The problem with this is that I only checked the box for about 5 or 6 of them to install and installed all 25 of them lol.

I just flashed tazz gingerbread this morning. So far I'm impressed with the battery life and I'm digging it so far. What are the differences between the tazz and shed roms?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spc_hicks09:
Well there are few differences, Shed's GB rom uses LauncherPro for the default home and Tazz uses ADW (which is easily replaceable lol). Shed's rom is also updated to newest CM7 Nightly (RC1). There's only subtle differences but people have their preferences. I'm running Tazz's v6 but also modded it with the Dark Horse Metamorph Theme thanks to johnathanphx1. Now my Tazz GB Eris looks better and performs better than more than half of these new droid phones coming out !!!!!

Personal preference really.

GSB is solid already if you want cutting edge, Gingerbread 2.3.2

Not a fan of Sense, and prefer CyanogenMod so maybe I'm biased :-)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't tried GSB, but I have heard of several people having issues using anything to restore backups of apps and the apps' data. Maybe it's related?

That's definitely an interesting "feature".

Maybe same as my answer above. Maybe both backup apps are unreliable/inconsistent under GB ROMs? Who knows, maybe it's related to CM7 not being final yet, too? I'm sure it'll be worked out over time one way or another, app updates and/or ROM updates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
Simple Question:

When moving my Apps to my SD card using the "Manage Applications" section... Where exactly do they go?

Also, do I need to use an app for this if my EVO already supports this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
They go into .android_secure on your SD card. However, you won't see them while the card is mounted on your phone. If you switch to Disk Drive mode or use the card in a card reader, you'll see .asec files. These are encrypted containers that are tied to a key on your phone (so you can't just insert a card full of paid apps into a friend's phone and do "Move to Phone").

There are a few programs on the market that are out there just to help you identify which apps can be moved to the SD card. They still use the native feature, but out of the box there's no way to tell at a glance what can be moved and what can't. Other than that, you don't need it (but I find it very useful and do use Apps 2 SD Free myself).

There's also the apps2sd method that's an option for rooted users, but that's something totally different. That moves all apps to the SD card, whether they're flagged as eligible for the SD card or not. It involves a little more work to setup.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
I threw together a simple app to change the Carrier Name in the status bar/lockscreen to whatever you want since my alot of people seem to ask how to change it. Feel free to use it. Tested on Incredible and Eris. Dev's feel free to thow it your roms if you want. No ads and free just a simple tool to change the text. Thanks to the great Eris community.

Currently only works for AOSP roms such as cyanogenmod.

V1.3

While trouble shooting some radio issues on a rom I realized there's no need to reboot the phone to apply the new carrier name. I only needed to cycle the radio so I changed the app to toggle airplane mode on and then back off after you input your text so the change should take place immediately. This should make it a little easier to test and try different things or just change it more often.

I also added some shortcut buttons at the bottom to quickly add the text for the ", < and > signs so you don't have to type it all out. Only tested this with cm7 but should still work with any rom's it worked with before. Again thanks to Psiphon for pointing these symbol fixes out.

http://www.multiupload.com/RO6RZUUL16

V1.2

Fix for phones that don't already have an eri.xml file there

Added version number to bottom of screen so people can be sure what version they are running.

http://www.androidphiles.com/files/get/DYIPFG2fur/ccname1.2.apk

V1.1

Fixed force closes when using symbols.

You can now use symbols except for double quotes. Apostrophe (single quote) seems to work fine.

Some usefull info if you want to use quotes....

Added Toast popup to let you know the name has been set.

If reboot button does not reboot phone just reboot the phone manually

http://www.androidphiles.com/files/get/w5A-P2p_tx/ccname1.1.apk

This app does one thing. It takes the input text you type and creates and eri.xml file and puts it in data/ folder on your phone. Then you can reboot for change to take effect. You can uninstall the app after you change it if you want or you can leave it on there(it's pretty small) in case you like to switch it every now and then. If you flash a new rom you will have to rerun the app.

hey bro to give you feedback works great on my eris kudos i always wanted to changed that to my own thx man maybe have a color option as well thx again bro
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
The color is tied in with other parts of the framework. Changing that would change other things as well so it would be more well suited to have that decided by a theme app or settings and not this.

On my Eris running Shed's GSB 1.5, Your ver 1.1 does not change anything.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hallstevenson:
I didn't get an FC when I used a "*" (the 'dot' or symbol for a bullet list) symbol but after rebooting, I had a flashing triangle (roaming) in the status bar and instead of reading "VZW*Rules The Air", it said "Roaming Indicator Flashing" :D

I changed it to "VZW RulesTheAir" or similar, rebooted, and all's well now. Not sure if it's related to the above FC issue or not. I don't know what version I'm running either.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hallstevenson:
I did have version 1.0. Will update to 1.1

Screenshot for the curious...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
I think your issue was if there was no eri.xml file then it wasn't writing to it so I had it create a blank eri.xml and then write the text to it. Try out v1.2 http://www.androidphiles.com/files/get/DYIPFG2fur/ccname1.2.apk

You must have still had 1.0 cause I tried VZW*Rules The Air with 1.1 and it worked fine. The roaming indicator flashing means that the xml didn't have the right format which was the issue with using symbols in v1.0
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hallstevenson:
All symbols allowed now? The symbol wasn't an asterisk, but this

•

Press the '?123' key, then 'Alt', then 4th key, top row.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
Ok i see...yeah just tried that and it worked for me...the only symbol that should cause issues is a double quote " and maybe < or > since those characters have other meanings in xml files. Everything else should work i beleive

Can I use this to change what carrier I'm on?

:)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ecs1984:
is this app simply putting a UI to the process of creating/editing the eri.xml file, or is it accomplishing something different than flashing ChangeToVZW and doing this manually?

a few days before this thread was started, i flashed the ChangeToVZW.zip and edited the resulting eri.xml file to customize the text to my liking, however when i switch to airplane mode or i am somewhere without coverage, the text changes to display "(No Service)". does this app do anything to change the text shown when you have no service? is the eri.xml file that is created identical to the one that ChangeToVZW creates? this is a very minor complaint as the time i spend in Airplane mode or areas of no coverage are very very small, but still something that bothers me :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hallstevenson:
Using this app, in airplane mode, mine says "(No Service)". In that sense, it doesn't override the function 100% like you want.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ecs1984:
thanks for checking that... i kinda figured as much, but having seen the other magic that Conap has performed, i was hoping that maybe this was a little more powerful. i had trying running this app and got the flashing roaming triangle that a few other people had mentioned, so i was worried that i had conflicting eri.xml files or something and restored to a previous install. i will definitely give this app a try on my next ROM flash (which is probably not too far off with some of the new releases).
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hallstevenson:
I should have tried my phone when I got the flashing triangle but I was afraid of roaming charges! Could the eri.xml file really affect the phone like that?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
lol nothing powerful just an automated eri.xml file editor....my magic wand was low on batteries when i made it.

I am about 99.99999% sure your roaming charges are figured on the tower your phone connects through and that the eri.xml file couldn't have any affect on that.

Edit: Moved my response outside of the quoted text lol.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hallstevenson:
I agree, but would you send the overage amount, if any ? :D :D

Seriously, if you recall, I used the bullet symbol in the 'name' on v1.0, and on reboot, the phone thought it was roaming. Why/how would an XML/text file affect it like that ? It was no coincidence either -- I was sitting at an art gallery/class that my daughter was in playing with the phone/app. I was NOT "roaming" ... changed the name ... rebooted and it was roaming ... changed the name to 'VZW' or something simple ... rebooted and I was no longer roaming ! :confused:

Reason I don't simply say, "nah, it can't affect it" is I remember Eris ROMs that had "CDMA-64" or "Sprint" as the carrier and they had Market issues, i.e. they didn't have the "Verizon" tab. :confused:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
No the market issues and the missing verizon tab are all due to things not being correctly set in the build.prop. Think of it this way...the eri.xml file has a number that corresponds to the roaming indicator. The phone recieves a signal of what area it's in. That number corresponds with the eri.xml file. The reason you get the roaming indicator when you put a symbol that the xml file can't parse is that the phone can no longer read and the xml file therefore it has no number to match to see if you are roaming or not and then the phone think's your roaming when you aren't because it's returning false when trying to match with the eri.xml file. Can you really get a plan that doesn't have free national roaming anymore anyway lol?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] workshed:

On the EVO it just wipes the "Sprint" text. No text remains in the notification bar, but the eri.xml file on my SD still shows text in the EriText="Sprint" portion. Strange. I tried multiple times both rebooting and not.

Nice idea for an app though, saves having to do the Terminal commands in the manual method. Also the toggling airplane mode tip works great with the manual eri.xml method so that saves me a few seconds of rebooting time :)
