Alright then, I may have to mess with busybox in my next version as it seems to be a more common problem. I however don't use root explorer so I can't tell why it's happening. The next update may be a wipe update if I replace busybox.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nickboxer7:
I did a complete wipe with this one. I had a problem with the browser. It force closed everytime it opened for me. I flashed another ROM for now but I'm not sure if this is something any one else has had.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
This happened to me too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] champdr0id:
I forgot to mention that it happened to me with GSB 1.7, if that makes a difference. Hatfield's problem sounded spot-on to mine, and I fixed it myself when I had it.

I'm not saying that it is a busybox thing for Hatfield, but it was with me.

[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
So what do you guys want for the next update?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jhwk316:
Definitely digging this ROM. One of the fastest and most stable i've used. Only issues i've noticed is the force closing of the browser as well as Handcent and a local news app which i'm not entirely sure are related to the ROM. I vote for more battery optimization as my battery life is about the same as it has been with Tazz and Kaos. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
this rom is soppost to be dedicated to speed, so i vote get it even faster and better battery life. though it is pretty fast already =P
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
It can get faster, this is only the first version I released. :) I'll work on getting it faster and I will look into everyone's issues for the next update too. Does anyone rely solely on wifi for this rom? I can increase the scanning time and that will improve battery greatly for those of you that leave wifi on. However that will mean that the transition between 3G and will happen slower (5 mins after you get into your house instead of 1 minute.) What do you guys think? I wouldn't want to make an update that made devices worse...
[Droid Eris Android Development] capcoward:
I would be against the 5 min transition to wifi just because that is an aspect of speed as well. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
my wifi never gets turned off. this i wouldn't mind since i never use my 3g. if im using my phone for net its at home when im to lazy to go on the computer or doing something on the computer and have im+ open on my phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
So the question is, should I trade speed for battery life... I guess I have a really long lasting battery as it is. I will probably leave it speedy as usual then. Does anyone get bad battery on this rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
My battery life has never been better, on any rom. Its really amazing actually.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
So I should be aiming at speed improvements for the next release?
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
If possible lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] B3L13V3:
faster?

I would say if possible a well balance of all, small memory footprint equals speed improvements and longer battery life....if possible and have not done so maybe set the internal minfree to aggressive so we wouldnt have to have autokiller killing off things which also takes up memory. I dont know why but on my phone maps is always running, bothers me cuz i seldomly use it and its just running wasting memory. Well that is my input hope others can shed light but from having it installed it is fast reminds me of lxde full featured and fast :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Oh it's possible my friend, I'm just getting started. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Alright, V0.13 is announced and I'm making some good progress.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jhwk316:
Can't wait to check it out
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
So I have the V0.13 zip on my desktop, give me some time to make sure it's stable and then I will release it. Another quick question, did you guys have to flash anything after flashing this rom? If so I would consider adding that straight into the rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
i think keep it as bare as you can get it and let the flasher install there apps. me personally i always delete ALL preloaded ringtones and just use mine on my card... idk if it helps but makes me feel better. i also always remove apps i never use. ex. news and weather(i use a different app), voice search.etc... gotta love root explorer :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Yeah sounds like a good idea... I honestly have never installed root explorer. I use adb too much and I find that it's easier.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I will be updating with info on THERom on Twitter. Follow me @CPCookieMan. Don't worry, this thread will still get updated, but I feel it would be easier for people to follow Twitter.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Any news on V 0.13?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Most of the news is on my twitter. Even if you don't use twitter you can still check twitter.com/cpcookieman. It's coming along nicely and when it does release, there will be a nice extra rom that will be great for... Well I don't want to give away too much but I'm basing another rom on THERom. Hint: It's not a new theme for THERom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
hope to hear that the wifi issue is fixed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I just took a look and my wifi is functioning completely normal. What problems were you having?
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
none :) i havnt tried root explorer yet so i cant comment on that issue. i just read on twiiter you were having wifi issues with.13
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
So is this rom completely functional and working well? I wanna try this but what changes are coming in the next update?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
This rom as of V.12 is fully functional and ready to use, however V0.13 is fixing some bugs people are having, though nothing too major if you don't need NAV this minute. The GPS is broken currently, the wifi works like a charm.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
New news on twitter:

V0.13 is almost done, finishing testing and my new rom is doing great too. The new rom won't be ready for prime time on first release, it will require setup to get working all nicely, but if you want to take the time, it will pay off. Oh the GPS isn't fixed yet, I will try to get some advice on IRC for that. Sadly GPS won't make it in until V0.14 :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
I am dying to try this ROM, but can't live without GPS.

I'll be eagerly awaiting news of .14!
[Droid Eris Android Development] wildstang83:
Any chance if getting 2.2 with sense?

Powered By: GSB CM7 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] B3L13V3:
hey wildstang you want 2.2 with sense? get a thunderbolt thats what im doing tommorrow! so happy about that. Its also rumored it will get 2.3 in april/may...2.3 with sense say what...
[Droid Eris Android Development] wildstang83:
Meh Thunderbolt shmunderbolt, lol. I just upgraded to the Dinc. I know its an olderish phone but its good enough for me. Besides where I live there is no plans for 4G soon. I'm telling ya after being on the Eris for so long this Dinc is badarse. I'm keeping my Eris though to tweak and play with.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Subscribing so I can try v13
[Droid Eris Android Development] B3L13V3:
its all good the Dinc was my first choice before I heard of the Tbolt, but verizon wants 249.99 and amazon wireless wants 179.99 for it :eek: so ima go with them free 2 day shipping too :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] wildstang83:
I'm actually fairly surprised with the features of the 2.2 w/ sense on this Incredible. Ive been thinking about not rooting. I'm not sure if the Dinc will get GB or not "stock" but honestly I don't think it needs it.

Sent from my Incredible
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
So V0.13 ran into some unforeseen problems with radio, they should be fixed tomorrow. However in line with the Thunderbolt release and with so many eris phones being deactivated today, I want to introduce my new rom, TheMP3Rom! A collab project with CPCookieMan and Wally. This is based off V0.13 and it will deactivate cell radio to make it simply sip battery. It runs very well once you get it completely set up but it will require some tweaking to make work optimally. Download in post #2.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Nice!

But you still plan in a plain jane rom tomorrow right?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Yes, I haven't changed the UI one bit. All under the hood stuff. I also just got my HTC Thunderbolt, but I have said that I won't abandon eris users, and I sure don't plan to anytime soon. Plus Thunderbolt doesn't have root yet so no tinkering with it yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Whew! Okay buddy. I have been looking everywhere for a plain froyo rom without all that cy rom stuff in it and yours looks like a winner.

I can't wait. Tomorrow can't come fast enough!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dreed75:
When radio is disabled, does that mean wifi, bluetooth, and gps are disabled as well or just 3G/voice?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Come on v.13!

Can't wait!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Just 3G and voice but GPS doesn't work either just like in stock V0.13.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dreed75:
Ok, do you plan on getting gps working for the mp3rom? I plan on using my eris as a permanently installed gps/obd2 monitor/mp3 player. It will use my thunderbolt's wifi tether while on the road so the map/pandora will still work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dreed75:
Also, you might want to split the roms on different threads cause otherwise we will always have to specify which one we are talking about. Both of them will probably be popular but due to the fact that one rom includes phone and one doesn't, nobody will use both of them. I, for example, only care about the mp3rom and others probably only care about TheROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] moos3y:
I'm just going to say this: This ROM is the fastest ever that I have ever used. IMO it even beats the GB speeds. THERom is definitely built for speed! I just can't wait until this ROM gets all ironed out

Question: In what ways did you do to this ROM to make it so fast in comparison to other 2.2 "Stock-looking" ROMS i.e. CELB/Kaosfroyo/Nonsensikal/etc???
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
I'm patiently waiting for the v13 for my eris!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I plan to have GPS implemented by V0.14.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
It will come my friend. I'm running a bit off schedule with my testing and I hope to release it very soon if not tonight.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Awesome! But gps will be left for v14?
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
think you could make a 2.1 version kind of like this? i know it wouldnt be anytime soon as you have these to work on but, after seeing how fast you can make froyo i wanna see what you can do with 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
just stopping by hoping......
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
+1

I agree that this should be split into two threads. Too confusing. Which version will have gps? which ROM? When?:confused:

I am very excited I must say...

For both ROMs!:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I could try but 2.1 would theoretically be slower with the same improvements that I've made to this 2.2 revision as 2.2 introduced JIT and other speed improvements. Trust me, I've been using android and the eris for a year and a half almost now, if there was anything faster, I would be experimenting now. I am trying to get a build of 1.5 or 1.6 made up to see if that would gain some real speed, but I'm having some kernel problems that are being... well problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Both roms. V0.14.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Your hopes will be answered as soon as I can put this up on servers.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
V0.13 posted, come and get it! Splitting the forum soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Exciting!!!

But gps? Hows the wait lookin for that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
Also. Got any screen shots of this gem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I'm going to talk to tazz to see if he knows of this GPS issue. Should be released in V0.14.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Supraex:
Yay go Tazz~

I got my Thunderbolt, but I don't want to put down my trusty Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
We should all thank Tazz if this is fixed in V0.14. I think he may have given me the answer. :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
i'll be watching for v14!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Supraex:
I flashed .13, just to get a taste of it. it's really nice, can't wait till GPS works.

Thanks for your hard work~
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I may do a no wipe update to V0.14. It may be a really easy to fix issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Supraex:
Sounds good to me. I always wipe, just in case.
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
I saw speed and has to give this a whirl. Browser kept FC. It 's not playing well with c2ceither. Looking forward to V 14 'cause this is fast!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Browser crash most likely due to gps being broken
[Droid Eris Android Development] daveseris:
As usual, you are correct sir! I just remembered that from back in December.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Supraex:
I haven't had to charge since yesterday afternoon. I love this rom~
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
I will flash once v14 is up
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Guys if you want to flash just flash it, I will be making a small update file that flashes from V0.13 to V0.14 with no need for wipe. (as it is not an entire rom) Of course if you prefer you can download the V0.14 full rom file, but it will be the exact same thing to the letter as using the V0.13 to V0.14 update package.

Currently I have a working build with GPS *yay* but I broke wifi by accident *doh!* so I will get wifi working again and then there will be a release. My goal as always is to never release a file that adds more bugs. Oh and V0.14 will have the bootscreen fix included too.

EDIT: The script that I made to do a no wipe update was breaking a lot of stuff, I am currently uploading the full rom file as that works great. Sorry for any inconvenience.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
NOTICE

THERom V0.14 is up! TheMP3Rom V0.14 will come soon, maybe today if I have time!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zoomy942:
flashing now!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jhwk316:
darn! i was hoping browser would have been fixed but still getting force close. GPS works great though. I use dolphin mini most of the time anyhow so not really a big deal to me
[Droid Eris Android Development] wongk:
Has anyone compared this ROM to xtrROM or xtrSENSE? I have yet to find a ROM that is as stable or performs as well as either of those ROMS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
Any chance that grabbing the Browser apk from another Froyo ROM and putting it in here would fix it? Or is that a dumb question?

Guess I'll haver to try it and let you know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ecs1984:
maybe a 3rd party browser would be a better solution? such as Opera, Dolphin, Skyfire, as they might not require functional GPS... possibly a dumb answer, so we cancel each other out. :cool:

EDIT: just noticed that jhwk316 mentioned using Dolphin mini, so yea that'll do it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
I have trieed to like those other browsers (haven't tried skyfire yet) but I just can't.

Dolphin was the closest to winning me over, but it was so slow and there were too many websites that wouldn't load properly including this one.

Since the first time I opened my browser, it has only crashed once. That was the first time I opened it. Maybe I got lucky with this install... (knocks on wood)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ecs1984:
i hear you, i tried opera for a while but went back to stock. did you try dolphin mini or dolphin hd? maybe the mini version might make it a little more tolerable, probably wouldn't help with certain sites not loading right though.

yea i hope you got lucky {knocking on my ornate mahogany desk while sipping cognac and petting a rare breed of cat}

(lol not sure where that came from)^^
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheAtheistReverend:
I was using Dolphin HD, trying mini now, and it isn't as bad. We'll see...

If the default browser continues to work, I'll probably stick with that. Y'know, stick with what you know.:cool:

Always down for new things though:p

EDIT:

Dolphin Mini and Browser are FCing on me constantly.

I'll check back for V0.15
[Droid Eris Android Development] hellaFAME_HTCEris-2.1_VZW:
i dont understand installation instructions, #3

how do i "Skip setup with 4 corner clockwise touch"
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaymc:
Same here. Very responsive in general but an unusable browser kinda kills the fun for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
When you get to the setup screen touch all 4 corners in a clockwise motion. It skips the setup procedures. You may have to try a couple of times to get it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] oneders65:
WiFi?

Is WiFi suppose to work on this ROM? I think the WIFI concept is great but I want touse it as a IP Cam too. Aslo be able to surf stream on pandora as well on WIFI...
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Wifi should work as of V0.14.
[Droid Eris Android Development] oneders65:
Will try again...

I could not get the WiFi to connect. It kept cycling like it was looking for it but could not pair... Maybe it was a bad download. Will try again soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I am looking into these browser issues. I do now see them on my device as well. I do not use browser that much on my eris so I didn't notice it. Was it broken in V0.12 or V0.13?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragon1018:
if you go into your wi-fi settings and see if its trying to connect and it keeps on getting stuck at trying to establish connection with "your wifi name" just reset your router. Unfortanitly for me the eris is the only cellphone I had that always had a problem connecting with the wifi.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Supraex:
TheRom has had 0.14 out for a while, when will MP3Rom get updated from 0.13? not trying to bug you, just wondering about it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
download link is broken. Just a heads up.

(edit)Working again(/edit)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Yes, I'm building TheMP3Rom again from the ground up to squash some bugs I have been noticing that are not in THERomV0.14. On the front end, there will not be too much difference, other than the reliability and stability of V0.14. Plus I might through some miui music in there for good measure.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Oh yeah and I got a new download mirror. See the first and second posts. Thank you guys for the great reception that this rom has gotten. If anyone complains about a slow eris, show them this. :) So another thing is... Would the community use a 1.5 sense rom? I tried to build one and it ran quite fast, even without oc. Downside is that not many market apps work on 1.5 anymore. I can see it now. TheSENSERom. Yes, I do spend a good amount of time trying to choose which letters to capitalize.
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
1.5? highly doubt it, but eclair yes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Well I won't waste my time with eclair, but I tried 1.5 recently and it was lightning fast.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Probably no interest for a phone rom on 1.5 but maybe an mp3 rom.

Sent from my Evo "Leoben"
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
a nice feature you could add, is disable the trackball driver so people like me with trackball moving by its self wouldn't have the issue any more. i mean, who really uses the stupid trackball except when typing and using the ball to go back and fix mistakes
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I will take a look for you but that may be a kernel thing. I don't do kernels. 0.0
[Droid Eris Android Development] dreed75:
It would be nice if these two ROMs had their own thread. It is getting confusing looking through to find out which ROM someone is talking about.
[Droid Eris Android Development] erisboxx:
+1 thatd be GREAT!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hellaFAME_HTCEris-2.1_VZW:
dont understand this step..

3. Skip setup with 4 corner clockwise touch

cant figure out how to do this..?:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Press the screen in the numbered spots in order. This skips the normal Android setup screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Just realized that the mp3 Rom still has some phone bits in it(in settings and the actual dialer app). Is this a limitation on Android's part? Like a requirement for market or something? It's not a big deal, but it has me curious.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Just thought I would check on my eris community here and check that no new bugs have arisen. Also, I found a really nice fix that you can do right now if you are android inclined. Set the lcd density in the build.prop to 140 instead of 160. It gives a HDPI look. Google how to change lcd density if you don't already know. There's several ways to do it. I will include the new density when I do another update. However I may not see a reason to, all the really major bugs are squished, and I think I may be pushing the last drop of preformance out of the eris already. I guess we will see how this ends up working out. I'm still checking in on you guys, dont worry!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Yes, I decided to bury this rom in the thread for THERom. Consider this as a gift to my loyal THERom users. Now, this is untested, I dont have an eris by me, so I don't know if this actually works. However there is a good chance it should. Nandroid first, there's no radio in this yet. They said it would never be done... They called me crazy... Now it's happening. I give you, TheHoneyRom! (if you didn't catch on yet, it's Android 3.0 HONEYCOMB.) I should stop blabbing and release the darn thing now. Don't worry, this will be public soon enough. :)

LINK: DOWNLOAD (hoping that this doesn't crash my servers)

Oh yeah and credit to the HEROC people that ported 3.0 to the hero.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:
Is this for real. Ill download and test quick

I got unsuccessful download from my phone ill try on computer

its downloading from computer
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:

[Droid Eris Android Development] rougegoat:
Nandroided and downloading the HoneyRom. I'll update this to have my results in a few.

(update)Factory reset, dalvik wipe, flash. Boot loops. At work, so I can't use any special tools to determine the error on it.(/update)
