[stonehenge]

At first was annoyed with widgetsoid because of not so great translation and the weird way of setting it up but once I figured it out, its pretty damn nice. Have uninstalled QuickSettings nao.

Reading the guidlines for rooting and flashing KaosFroyo2.2 on the eris is making my head hurt.

[stonehenge]

It's easy once you actually do it brah

[SarkOzy]

Going to attempt it later. Just so confusing at first.

[stonehenge]

then just roll the stock firmware for a little bit then

[SarkOzy]

I have to manually update it to 2.1 since HRG never did the OTA. Downloading now

KaosFroyo 2.2 looks seks. DFW

[stonehenge]

Didn't look into it too much but KaosFroyo is most likely vanilla and slightly overclocked so it will probably be a lot smoother. Vanilla is also not as bulky as Sense.

[SarkOzy]

Yup it's vanilla. I'm going to flash V39 even though there is a gps bug. V37 doesn't have that bug but has a battery drain issue. I prob won't use teh gps anyway.

[stonehenge]

look towards the top of this page: https://github.com/punk-kaos/KaosFroyo/wiki/kaosfroyo-faq

Has a link to a gps fix :)

He has an old version, but it should give you a good idea of what Vanilla looks like and how fast it is.

I dont think Koas really supports it anymore tho seeing as last update was almost 2 months ago. Hes been working on the Fascinate.

[.GARY.]

Have you tried playing music from the music player instead of Pandora to see what happens?

Tried this last night, no go. I think I am simply overlooking something that needs to be checked or switched. Going to do more research and see. I hope I can get this to work. I really wish they would just make the same app for the droid as the iPhone so it would just work.

[stonehenge]

He last updated his KaosGingerbread thread in January http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863156 so he may be working on that more now. I wouldn't flash it in its current state though.

Those ROMs Mike posted are good looking. I really like how they went to 4 separate slide unlocks on the lock screen. I assume they take you directly to the option you unlock, e.g. message unlock would go to message program?

[stonehenge]

I posted that foo :read: but that rom is for the Eris.

If you want something like that, just install WidgetLocker. It is a lockscreen replacement that lets you put widgets on the lockscreen but it also lets you make custom sliders. You can choose what Icon is on it and what app it opens. Pretty useful sometimes.

HTC Thunderbolt Release Ahead of Schedule

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/121838-htc-thunderbolt-release-ahead-schedule.html

[stonehenge]

yep, looks like a nice phone but I have my doubts when it comes to HTC. They don't release POSs but almost all of them seem to have something wrong with them. The Incredibles battery sucks, the Evo seemed sluggish to me, the Eris was buggy, etc. None of them are crap phones by any means but they all have some sort of issues.

Moto releases BAMF phones that are usually stable and solid but they lock their shit down :emo:

Haven't decided what I think of Sammy/LG yet :hmm:

I used to have RockBox on my old Sansa. Good stuff imo. Would try if they ported it to Android.

[race2c]

DFW Rockbox on an Android...guess now I may seriously have to consider another device in the near future if they port...:hmm:

Also, they need to come out with Rockbox for 5th generation Nano...Only reason I dont have Rockbox on my iPod Video is due to its incompatibility with Kenwood headunits.

Less than 8 days left with the horrible Android OS for me! I can't wait to kiss it good bye!

[stonehenge]

rofl time to go give mr.jobs a bj?

[Jaymez]

If that is what you want to call it. I've been trying the Android for the last month or so and I can honestly say I hate it. I ordered my new i before breakfast this morning.

[stonehenge]

lol i'm just playing, whatever makes you happiest is the right phone for you. some people looooove blackberries even though they are underpowered, the OS leaks memory like a bitch, there are no apps and the pay ones are expensive, etc. but they love it so its all good.

I just find it surprising that you find Android horrible. I've talked to people who have come from iOS, WinMo, Blackberries, Palms, dumbphones, etc and most of them love it. The ones who don't love it, don't HATE it, they just find iOS to be easier or blackberries to be better for their business or whatever.

[MikeH]

Some people don't like and can't take change.

[stonehenge]

I loved my BB while I had it, couldn't wait for the Storm 2. I also liked my iPod Touch and wished VZW had the iPhone at the time. Then I got my Droid and now BB and iOS can eat a dick. :roflmao:

[Mr.Rogers]

I like android...........

[stonehenge]

:naughty:

[MikeH]

:humping:

[Jaymez]

One of the things I hate about the Android OS is the fact that most of the Apps that I use on a regular basis work better on iOS devices. IMDB, Wikipedia, and Netflix are just a few examples. Add in thew fact that can only use Shazzam three times a month without paying for it and it becomes annoying.

I like the app organization on the iPhone better as well.

I don't like keeping all my contact information on GMail's servers or Google Calendar. I much prefer having that stuff local, even if it means I can only sync to one machine.

But hey, you like what you like. I'll be selling my Incredible as soon as my new phone arrives if anyone is interested.

[MikeH]

You more than likely have to put it on eBay. Be lucky to get 350 for it.

Hey now!?!?!?!?!

I gave Android a shot, and will be coming back once battery technology improves, phone's are capable of lasting a day (don't even use them that much/and i shouldn't have to buy an extended battery), and a screen bigger than D1 (because my fingers have a hard time typing on that touchscreen). Those are the only reasons I came back to my BB9630.

Yeah, its not a powerhouse (media, leaks memory etc), but the push-email of BB BIS/BES is a winner. If I dont get my email, the repercussions of that are pretty great...and well, I need it to last (at least) from 6:00am - 11:00pm.

[MikeH]

you gonna be waiting a while if you are waiting for battery technology.

[race2c]

Well, I dont mean like totally new technology li-ion, platinum, whatever materials, etc. Thats going to be awhile. We can all agree thought that the technology of batteries is lagging behind when compared to smartphone development.

I mean like the use of more battery management in the ROMs themselves, e.g. like CM does. I just want technology that will improve the life without having to adjust my data (2g/3g/etc), adjust my screen, adjust the profiles, etc. I just hate, in the back of my mind, that I have to limit my phone usage so I can make it to the end of the day. Not a fan of having to carry a charger around even though, I do carry a USB cable.

Do you understand what I mean though?

$0.02

[stonehenge]

the main battery hogs are screen, gps, and 4g. If they figure out a way to lower the amount of power those consume and couple that with a slightly larger battery in each phone, that could go a long way. They have been working hard on power saving screens but not sure about gps and 4g is new so its a hog.

[MikeH]

Doesnt LGs screen consume like 50% less power or something like that? I would just carry around an extra battery if I had to have my phone last a certain period of time. Its not like batteries are big.

[stonehenge]

Yeah I think LGs screens are supposed to be nice.

As for the battery, yeah. If I needed it to last that long and couldn't charge anywhere then id take an extra battery like you said.

[MikeH]

I liked having my spare battery. It came handy plenty of times. I didnt need it cuz my phone didnt last long enough but some times I forgot to charge it or got lazy lol.

[MikeH]

I know. But I haven't flashed anything in months, so I'm still reading up again on all of it. I stopped playing once I got my phone just how I wanted it.

[SarkOzy]

I give up trying to root this damn phone. :rofl2:

I've followed every instruction to a T, but no matter what I always get the error screen when I try to boot into recovery mode. Tried every possible combination of press/hold vol up/vol down and power and press/release those keys. Nothing works. Even with the root app not installed I still can't boot into recovery.

[MikeH]

Error screen?

[SarkOzy]

Black screen with a phone in the backgrond and exclamation point on the middle of a red triangle. :shrug:

i may let a buddy of mine play with it later. he said to use vol down but that does the same thing.

[MikeH]

Once you get there you have to use another combination of buttons to get to recovery. Thinks it volume up + power when at the triangle.

[stonehenge]

:word: @ mike

[MikeH]

Oh and the Eris is worth $153 if you wanna trade it in towards an upgrade :rofl:

[SarkOzy]

Still didn't work Mike. Only way out of that screen is to pull the battery.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Not sure if it's related, but when I install the root app from droidforums it always goes to force-close a couple of times before itll run.

[MikeH]

It will work. I dont remember the exact combo but you gotta do it just right. Hit both buttons different ways, I think you have to push them exactly at the same time tho. It might also be volume down. If you are gonna flash a ROM then just use ROM Manager.

[SarkOzy]

It has to be rooted first doesnt it? I'm trying to get the kaosfroyo2.2 on it

[MikeH]

you need to root then flash a custom recovery which rom manager can do. you cant load a rom without a custom recovery.

Mike, I've been following the directions in the eris section of droidforums. My buddy was finally able to get it. He tried all sorts of shit and nothing would work, untl finally it just decided to work. :shrug:

Anyway, 2.2 is running on it now. It's pretty damn neat. The only issue I can see is I'm going to catch hell with battery life. Here at home and at work especially 3g coverage comes and goes, so it's always switching back and forth and I know that's why the battery lasted 1:48 just sitting idle yesterday. :rofl2: I have a usb cable so at least I can keep it plugged in at work.

By the way, I've searched and tried a couple of different apps to get screenshots. Which one do you use? I can't get any of them to work, or I'm just too dumb to figure it out lol

[MikeH]

I had that problem with my old Incredible. I just kept pushing the buttons until it finally worked. If you are in a spotty area and arent using the phone put a widget that toggles 3G so you can turn it off. I would suggest widgetsoid in the market, for screenshots use shootme.

LGB I'm glad you're liking it. If you don't like the stock browser or opera, there is also Firefox and Dolphin and Dolphin Mini (what I use).

Reading up on the kaos/cyanogen gingerbread stuff now over on XDA. It's buggy as all hell but works. I'm gonna wait until it's more stable before I flash it.

In all honesty aside from the smaller screen, teh eRis functions the same as my friend's D1. At least from what I can tell. It's quick and never hangs.

[stonehenge]

besides a theme and some small changes, there isn't much difference between froyo/gingerbread

Froyo should be plenty for now, it is more of a major change. Froyo brought flash in the browser, apps-to-sd which you may find useful on an Eris, and some other things.

Also, if you dislike the white bar, I bet there are themes available for that rom.

[SarkOzy]

I'm really surprised there are 2 developers working on 2.3 for teh eris. For being an old POS by new standards it's nice to have some new stuff coming out for it.

Yeah I'm glad there is still Eris development going on. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see what it's like to see new roms and updates and shit all the time. A lot of us in this thread are constantly flashing new roms :jester:

[SarkOzy]

I reflashed CM7 v1.2 since I'd read some had issues with the tethering. I LOVE it :jester:

You can do it all from your phone too, you don't have to use teh computah.

i just want to find a better weather widget. that one blows

[stonehenge]

beautiful widgets is nice

you can set it up as a single 1x1 that shows your current weather or a 4x1 that shows the week or a 4x1 or 4x2 that is a clock with the weather, etc. It's pretty flexible. Plus when you tap it to view the weather, it looks sexy :jester:

hold on, screenshot time

[JayBo]

i still use Beautiful Home

[stonehenge]

So here is how I have mine set up right now. It is 4x1 and has the "CleanDarkWhite" clock skin and "FlatWhite" weather skin installed:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/gardobus/PhoneDump/snap20110208_082828.png

When you tap the sun/moon/clouds/whatever it will show this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/gardobus/PhoneDump/snap20110208_082837.png

The image changes depending on your current weather and is animated to show clouds moving by, rain falling, snow, lightning, etc.

I like it :shrug:

[Manbearpig]

appplanet hasnt worked for me in forever :emo:

[MikeH]

you gotta download the one Juan linked

[stonehenge]

Chris, there are more BW screenshots with other skins on the market page: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets

appplanet hasnt worked for me in forever :emo:

download the newer version, the one i linked chris to should be pretty recent.

[JayBo]

isn't CM7 onnly nightlies? There isn't a stable version released yet is there?

[MikeH]

That be correct

[stonehenge]

definitely back yo shit up, especially with that phones bish ass attitude

[SarkOzy]

wan, :drool: DFW

[JayBo]

Fuck it. I'm doing it.

[stonehenge]

wan, :drool: DFW
then install applanet! (or buy BW)

That is one of the few apps I've bought. It has a lot of flexibility, tons of skins, and the developer updates it pretty often with new features.
Fuck it. I'm doing it.

Sooooooooo is it a good idea to install some sort of antivirus? /n00b question

[stonehenge]

Not necessary. I install tons of shit, do lots of stuff with my phone, install root apps, etc and have never had a problem.

[MikeH]

Just check the permissions of the app and it something requires an unnecessary permission then dont install it.

EnviroBear is an interesting game. You are a bear and you drive a car around looking fir berries and fish. When you're full, drive to the cave to hibernate :jester:

I'm quite happy with CM7 so far myself. Running @ 800mhz, seems very fast

RubiX Blurry or Tranq :hmm:

Tranq would require me to add blur back in. Blurry would be quick and it still removes some useless widgets and shit. :hmm:

RubiX, you gotta sbf once you decide you dont want TranQ anymore.

Recommendations for apps? Wan/Mike/Yaybo?

I've searched applanet quite a bit and just haven't found much useful stuff.

Personal preference to have nothing on the homescreen? Or is there some advantage to it?

[MikeH]

Personal preference. I only use 1 screen too. I dont like a cluster fuck on my homepage

[stonehenge]

Same here, I just like the nice sexy look of a clean desktop. Sometimes I remove BW but most the time I leave it with a clean theme on it.

Chriz, I'll type up mah applist in a second.
