I'm currently running MeatROM v106.1 with eb13 overclocked kernel with ext4 by rodderick and the eb13 modem. My phone is so wicked fast and surprisingly smooth. Idk if I want to change my ROM when new ones come out for fear that it will dissappoint. I was sitting in my living room and tried google maps after replacing my modem. It got within 1 meter in about 5 seconds. My phone is 100% perfect right now.

There is a fix for rotation lag search for it. Also my camcorder is perfect

[Epic 4G General] Paltomiel:
Yep..I saw the topic to fix rotation lag...but in order to do that I have to be rooted...and I'm a noob :(... I'm afraid I can brick my phone.

Thanks anyway :)
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
These phones are almost unbrickable so I wouldn't let that stop you also the rooting process is extremely easy. You just run a file from your pc and your rooted

[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
My video recorder also seems kinda stuttery. Used the update.zip. the official one. Not too big a problem for me though. I'm sure if its fixable, itll get fixed down the line.
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
Search for the app "Z4root"...it's not in the market, but is here on xda. Used it right from the phone to root my epic and it was fantastic. the app froze a couple times, but I just rebooted the phon and tried again... worked just fine. :) As far as I know it's (almost totally) impossible to brick your phon with z4root.

I prefer the one click method, as it puts cwm on the phone so you can flash all the mods you could want.

Thanks for the help guys :D
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
wow that was couragously fast. see, no brick
[Epic 4G General] iil:
I flashed to eb13 and found my epic running slightly slower than when I used the update.zip. could really see it in the launcher. Ended up flashing back to eclair and then using update.zip. and could not be any happier.

I never had the auto-rotational bug some of you talk about and I will be the first to admit that there is no reason why one should be different than the other.

This...

I went from bonsai dk28 and used the .exe from the samsung site and went straight to eb13 and my phone runs wonderfully. The odin method is a waste of time honestly. No point in flashing back to di18 then eb14. Just use the samsung file. It does everything for you.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
well everyone said you needed the di18 modem so i just wanted to make sure it was flawless and no issues. and thats what i got flawless so waste of time not at all considering how many people are having issues with the way that you upgraded. it took 23 seconds for me to flash through odin
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Yes, the .exe samsung updater tool is version of Odin that is set up specifically for the Epic and is Noob proof. It has the EB13 tar built into it, and installs all the proper drivers, and makes sure they are installed during the update process.

The only down side is if you need to use the actual Odin program for anything else in the future, you may have to manually install the other drivers again. They are known to interfere with each other.
[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
OK, I've done Odin, I've done the Samsung EXE, I've done DI18 to EB13 via the update. I've done every upgrade path I have available. Now:

I have a phone with EB13 that takes 4 seconds to change from landscape to portrait and rooting it, loading Android Terminal, and running /system/bin/systemcalibutil_yamaha succeeds, but has no effect whatsoever.

I also have a phone that, when I flash it back to DI18 via Odin, does no rotation whatsoever and running the above prompt through terminal yields the same result (says Success! but does nothing).

Is there a solution that I haven't tried to fix any of these problems? Its a sad day that I can't even go back to the build that USED to work because of the rotation problem.

[Epic 4G General] shahin26:
I had the same issue for rotation lag. I used the android terminal Command and rebooted a few times and it's all good now. Make you sure you lay your phone flat with the screen facing you when using the terminal. Using Odin to go back to DI18 almost always messes up rotation.
[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
Did the Android Terminal thing fix your problem on EB13 or on DI18? I went through the big deal again with flash DI18 and then use update.zip, but when I did it that way my bluetooth voice dialing was broken. Am I to have to choose between screen rotation and bluetooth voice dialing?

When I open the removable disc folder I cant find a folder that say SD anywhere. I know this is my complete lack of understanding but could someone please help a brotha out?

My little brother updated right on his phone of the samsung site using the mac file. He is having trouble with the rotation now so is that a reason? haha I just want to get this done. Thanks for all of your help in advance.

Take it back to sprint and get a new one for rotation lag. Does anyone know how to replicate this? My hinge is getting wore out.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
+1 to sprint store... my launch week epic has such a tight slider... this one from Jan, meh... anyways, it would be funny to sit there at the store and go thru all the eb13 bugs, having the tech reflash over and over. I have the rotational thing... gonna try the samsung method... dont mind redoing the sammy drivers later, they are so sketchy you may as well reinstall them every time you need to use adb...

so if I am on the Odin'd version, I can use the sammy version to redo it??? (for rotation bug, and complete obliteration)... I am wondering if the sammy exe wipes with better tissue than CWM and Odin... just a thought...gonna wipe my SD again too...
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Do the horizontal calibration screen facing down

Epic 4g
[Epic 4G General] shahin26:
just flash EB13 (try using the samsung dl method) Then root, then fix screen rotation. Android Terminal fixed the problem when i went from DI18 to DK28 a few months ago and again when I updated from DK28 to EB13. I think if you do not fix the rotation your compass will be messed up too. Feel free to PM me if you need help.

Okay so she lied and told a different story to her mom.

I told my friend someone stole my sisters phone and he said was it a g1

I said yes and he said

Did it not have a back?

I said yes and I got excited because there are no other phones with the same identity

Today she told her mom she didn't have it it was another girls and my friend said she was lying because she even showed him the phone I know he's not lying because I have never told him about a g1 or he doesn't know my sister.

So tomorrow were calling the police

Update: so she was under so much pressure she started crying and gave the phone back!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Ok, so here goes..

Smart me decided to open up my phone to clean out all the grime and give a go at solving/fixing my headphone problem. Smart me also severed the touch screen connection to the LCD screen lol. Now, here's my few questions that I need help with.

1)Is there any way to enable Trackball Wake on CM7 w/o the touch screen? If I could enable that, I could use the phone no issue until I buy a new front plate. (I'm currently using GSB1.5)

2)How much is a replacement front plate for the eris?

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and drops some feedback or help!

PS- I DID fix my headphone issue, too bad it took breaking my damn screen!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
$34 from Amazon
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
I may try to find one already mounted in the front housing to make life easier, but thank you, that's exactly it :)

Also, I was wondering if a nandroid backup of the same cm7 ROM with Trackball wake enabled would work on my phone?? My recovery is still up and running and usb still works so I can use my bros Eris and copy his nand backup. Sound like it'd work?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
It will work - but with his Gmail credentials - and his contacts, not yours - on your phone. There is a way to wipe those from an adb shell, but then how would you re-enter the values for your account?

I'm assuming that this temporary "touchless" phone you are proposing would be able to only answer in-bound calls, yes? Or maybe you are thinking that you will be able to bring up the dialer app by pressing Send, and then using the trackball to scroll through contacts to somehow dial that way?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Quick! Here's a different idea:

Edit and replace the XML file in your own ROM at

/data/data/com.cyanogenmod.cmparts/shared_prefs/com.cyanogenmod.cmparts_preferences.xml

look for the string:

<boolean name="pref_trackball_wake" value="true" />

You might want to do this in an offline mode (using Amon_RA), so you are sure the phone is picking up that setting during boot.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Alright, here's what I did..

1) Made a NAND on my phone and copied it into the nandroid folder on my bros phone (made a specific note on which folder to choose, so as not to confuse myself lol)

2) Made a NAND on his phone, then wiped data/dalvik, then NAND restored my backup onto his phone. Booted it up, changed the CM settings to trackball wake, booted back into recovery and made yet another NAND (also made a specific note on which folder to choose)

3) Copied that NAND to my phone again, did a full wipe and restored.

Eureka!...-ish :/

It works... I can now get past the lock-screen upon boot and access my phone/messages/app drawer/market/dolphin-browser.

Here's the problem now. I cant back out of anything lol, and its awful pesky (and prob not healthy) to have to reboot the phone every time I need to get back to the home-screen.

I tried looking in CM setting to see if there was a way to set up my volume up/down buttons as the home and back buttons but no luck.

Would anyone here happen to know if a button function re-routing is possible/fairly easy?

Thank all of you for the suggestions and help.

*Bftb0, thank you for your last post, I knew something like that was possible but I was already too deep into my NAND solution to attempt it. I appreciate the knowledge and help greatly :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Most likely the latter. Pretty much the only useful function w/o the keyboard is the phone. I can access messages and pretty much anything else through the app drawer, but without the keyboard and back/home button, its all useless. I can dial and call/end with the trackball, that's now the ONLY useful function lol
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Ok, so Spare Parts held the key. The End button now serves as the home button. I still can't type or do other various things but that's all I need now to use a few more features.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you spend another 2 days tweaking it, the replacement parts could be at your door. ;) :D

Here's an idea - we'll all get together and write an app with a "SHAKE KEYBOARD".

If you shake the phone just right, it will type whatever letter/digit you want. LOL :)

You'll only need to learn how to shake your handset in 128 different ways.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
128? Bah! Why not set up the shakes in Morse Code format!?

On a side note though, can either three of you explain to me why we can't use the Eris trackball to access/type on the keyboard? I'm using GSB 1.5 atm, but I can swear that back in the days of Sense ROM's that the trackball worked on the keyboard...?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
:)

I'm on xtrSENSE v4.6.5 right now. I tried all three of the keyboards that came with it just now, HTC_IME mod, Touch Input and Multi-touch keyboard, and the only aspect of any of them that I could control with the trackball was if it made a word or letter suggestion, then I could scroll between the suggestions. Otherwise the trackball only appeared to control the "Share" and "Cancel" buttons in the case of the Facebook app/widget's "What's on your mind?" text entry field.

Anyone else know anything about this?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Thank you for trying that out for me bro, I really appreciate it! It definitely wouldn't have been worth it for me to flash a 2.1 ROM to check for myself lol :D Especially since it's taken about 2 1/2 days to get my phone to a controllable setup using only hard buttons and logic.

So far I've been able to make due using a combo of the Button Re-mapper app and Spare parts. All of my hard buttons can now take me into and out of any app, the menus, home and sleep. I can use the trackball to dial on the phone, so that function is still useful, and I can view texts, just no reply lol :(

Back in the day I used Handcent SMS on 2.1 and 2.2, and that had an option to speak out your reply to texts... used to work like a charm for me. So I downloaded this onto my busted phone but for some reason it wont work. It keeps saying "Recognizer is not present" when I hit the speaker icon on the SMS popup. Is this a CM7/GB issue on the Eris? I already have Pico TTs (Duhh!) and downloaded another TTs app on the market, enabled it in the settings, and still no luck :confused:

If I could figure this out though, my phone would be tops again, even w/o any touchscreen capabilities. Texting and calling are all that really matter to me until I either upgrade/replace the broken part. I'm tight on cash (who isn't?) and won't be able to do either until next week at the very soonest.

Any ideas? Are any of you using GSB and having the same issue with voice input?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Bravounet:
Ok, so I am starting a new thread as I didn't find any answer, neither have received a reply previously in other threads (Specific roms threads)

In custom roms such as Cyanogen's and SuperTe@m's - no Sense roms - the Dialer is very basic.

Actually, it is impossible to get a contact filtering when entering numbers (what T9 does in SMS/Messages apps... Ok, I don't know how to explain that in a comprehensive sentence, but I hope you get it)

I played with a rom that a friend of mine installed on his Galaxy S, and the Dialer is pretty much the same, such as Google phones with basic android software, no additional features,... But that one has the predictive thing....

Is there a way to implement this feature within the phone (Dialer) apk of custom roms?

Thank you guys for ... Well, first, trying to understand what I wrote, ... and then for your answers! :p
[Legend Themes and Apps] Skardy:

[Legend Themes and Apps] karlanal:

[Legend Themes and Apps] Bravounet:
Thank you guys, for answering.

I know Dialer One, but don't like it, ... Have to discover TAKEPhONE dialer...

However, I wanted to know if it was possible to add the feature in the original phone application for Legend, as it seems to be implemented in the dialer from the custom rom for Galaxy S... (I assume it is...)

Because that app, the original phone app above mentioned, is pretty much the exact same app than the one for our Legend, except it has the T9 filter feature.

Thank you guys, anyway !!!

Seems logic. But im still not getting past the problem with RSDlite. It did work on my first Defy so I thought it might had to do with a new update or somthing like that (that it could'nt be found by RSD)..

I can't see any suggestions or somthing like a check list of (other) things to do.

Can it be the W7 x64 OSystem that makes the problem?

Or is there any late firmware that wont mate with RSDlite?

God.. ive been spoiled with Hero, HD2, Galaxy S and Desire-.- This is hard work!
