Hello all,
Finally iam releasing this rom which is in a next level than any other wm 6.5 or 6.5.x rom only for viva in the sense that it has got some major modifications. Okay now ready to evolve your phone? hey wait a min i thought first a test version would be a excellent idea. So that makes this rom only for little advanced users and not for daily usage.
So here you go the bug fixed/features.
The major problem that is wifi auto start has been fixed
Originallly the scrolling of start menu is not smooth without some type of tweak here without tweaking it is.
No sms bug
lite rom nbh size approx 54.2 mb
ezinput keypad included, dont worry its not that 8mb one its only 1mb
New drivers from latest spanish rom 1.57.707.3
Ultra fast feel the speed yourself
no 3rd party app
Keyboard now hides on single click
This rom has no titanium (intentionally removed will be added after testing). Okay now as a tester please report the following things.
If you have dataconnection active then setup connection and try to connect if it connects open a webpage on you phone, working? report here (i have done some tweaking coz if which it wont connect but if its not connecting for all i will remove that tweak)
The speed that i mentioned can you feel = ultra fast
The phone must be more responsive is it?
Was the scrolling smooth
And then report all the bugs / essential feature missing here. (remember only essential feature)
Thanks to the whole xda community, specially i would like to thank Kilzone, ivanmmj and kane159
Edit: Goodbye, Touch Viva. Was a great experience to learn something new.
Bugs/features adding deleting that will be done on final version :-

Scrollbar will be removed
Successful fixation:

Dude as i said its for testing purpose if u are asking this with the intention of daily usage then plz remember that this rom is in beta and not for daily purpose, if u would like me to complete this evolution rom which i said is completely a next level then please go ahead and test it and report back
Anyways, the answer for your question everything is default absolutely no customization no icon changing, no theme, no taskbar icon.

feedback!!
heres all the things i noticed:
-when i get out of the start menu to home screen....it keeps showing the previous page.....i guess thats because of the lack of titanium.
-please add showcase, since theres no task manager lots of programs remain open and the phone becomes slow in a few minutes.
-bluetooth OK
-wifi OK
-When IE starts it says cannot open blank page....but then works fine.
-When i get an incoming call, i cannot see the name or the number of the person calling.
-When i make an outgoing call theres a scroll bar on the right...for which i see no purpose.
Hope this helps.....what you've done looks good....hope you can figure out solutions for the problems i mentioned......thanks again.....

I just saw those details, but I like that is clean, with nothing changed, looks like a rom drawn from Microsoft, and that is what we all
my feedback
download size is 39.42 which is 7z compressed.
i am downloading it now...will give my feedback soon.
congrats on your release, jagan!!!
Feedback==================
Bugs
#1: Vibrate not working. Phone does not vibrate when set to vibrate mode.
#2: In the Lockscreen, you have to tap 'Unlock' twice to really unlock.
#3: After running some programs (ex. PPC PimBackup) the phone becomes very slow. I checked the processes using FcdSoft Task Manager v3.1 and found one of the process 'cprog.exe' was consuming about 60% - 80% of the CPU resource. I 'killed' it and it becomes okay again...
#4: In USB-to-PC pop-up, there is no 'Storage Device'!!! just ActivSync and Internet Sharing.
Suggestion:
#1: will it be okay if you remove 'Microsoft My Phone'
#2: and what about removing 'Marketplace' too?? I don't think many people uses it. If they want they can install it, right??
more to come soon...
Some more changes

1. It is because due to lack of titanium.
2. Ya i will add arksoft or showcase.
3. & 4. Iam glad that bluetooth and wifi works perfectly.
5. Yes that ie problem that is build related i will change it to newer.

3. Phone option please specify.
4. Windows default not working coz the rom dont have titanium
@All: Whoever participating in this beta testing please feel free to explore your devices and report here, all will be fixed tonight.
Edit: Forgot to say my opinion on freelancers suggestion:
Marketplace and myphone many of here want so i have added it my the way it wont consume much space.
Another imp thing: Someone confirm if the SMS bug fixed and working properly?
Everything that will be fixed on final version, will be put to the second post iam doing that right now check out in few mins. If i miss something remind me here.
Successful things that is fixed in this rom is displayed on 3rd post.

Hi Bro,
1. Volume button started working after few restarts.
2. Agreed with Windows Default
3. Phone option generally has "Vibrate when call connect"
Just one funny thing....when the device is locked you can very well click on "Start" then nothing gets clicked....
Please fix the display problem when person calls its not displaying the name...
rest all is fine...

For showcase you have to first go to home screen then it opens whereas arksoft can be accessed from any screen, so my vote goes to arkswitch let see what others say.
btw complete rom will be up in few hours or may be more than few hours.

So I put the new rom on my mogul. Love the gps. Love the task manager. However, I've run into a few problems that I would like to see if anyone else has encountered:
When i open an sms..it shows me the bottom of the screen..and not the message. not a deal breaker, but annoying.
i had just installed the rom. nothing on it... didn't even put my sd card in. soft reseted around five time to make sure... but when doing ABSO-FRICKING-LUTELY NOTHING the 68-78% of my program memory is occupied. wtf.
you too?
Right now, I have many many ways of turning on the GPS from standby.
So this is my fun part right now.
I got GPSGate, Google Map and AstroGPSLauncher to launch the GPS.
iGuidance 4 need alot of help to get going. iNAV need to work on this fast.
Other than that, it has been OK. I like the upload speed. It make my Remote Desktop more lively OK.
I think life is OK. This is something new on the Mogul, so I can understand it. It can only gets better.

SMS scrolling to the bottom upon opening a message is a known side-effect of the registry edit that changes the 4-way navigation button to scroll instead of tab to the next link on a page. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav; 0 will scroll (and open SMS messages at the bottom), 1 will tab
I am running the OEM 3.35 ROM, with all of the Sprint customizations, and on a fresh soft reset I have 22.56MB free memory. After a day of calls, text messages, and web surfing, I usually have 16 to 18MB free. Are you running the stock ROM or a custom ROM? Have you done any registry edits that would affect the free memory, such as changing cache sizes? Also, did you do an extra hard reset after flashing the ROM?
I am having none of the problems you are describing. Where is the option on the poll for "Yes, because these problems don't exist for the rest of us"?

I agree...new ROM great behavior...this is by far the best that Sprint has done thus far for the Titan, even stock it runs great. I just installed SPB and my memory stays at or near 18-20 and battery never dies on me.
"Yes, because these problems don't exist for me"
i updated wednesday and i use codyppc threaded sms so i dont know about the text prob. but i dont experience any different mem loss than Mario but i dont like that they integrated the tm into the rom cuz i didnt use that either but thats my only issue
well bah. i guess i get the "i just suck" title. i have a severe love hate relationship with this phone,. heh.
I have started working on an app for Windows Mobile 6 phones w/ GPS to do run/walk/bike tracking like the Nike+. Here is a little Video of the app in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIqKHCb21cg&feature=channel_page
Version 0.6.5 9s attached
- Smartphone detection is in
- Run Form updated to be smartphone happy, view log is next.
Version 0.6.4 is attached
- Calories burnt calc!!!! (put your weight in...lbs for now...kg coming )
Version 0.6.3 is attached
- 1 Mile/KM kills the app bug fixed!
Version 0.6.2 is attached
- I am not dead! I promise
- This is mostly a maintence update. All the tracking code has been pulled from the views and put off in modules (as it should have been from the get go) so I can get a Smartphone version working soon.
Version 0.6.1 is attached
- Audio updates - new sounds for mile/km passed and distance goal hit
- Audio updates - updates to how the power management is dealt with for audio, still not perfect, but better
- Center button (on your direction pad) now turns the display off and on and also it stops the phone from sleeping when you use that display off method. This is great for phones that get a bit wierd on their GPS in unattended mode.
Version 0.6 is attached
- New internal tracking code to improve performance and make new feature additions easier (this was more about me than you )
- First audible notices. Each mile/km and distance goal hit. It is just a tone right now, but I will record and add voiced stuff tonight.
- New Settings tab for audible notices
- Smartphone users can atleast start the app and track a run now! (still no settings or view log...that is coming)
Version 0.5.9 is attached
- Fix the View/Save log bug (I hope)...you might have to delete your Run Log (yeah for Alpha testing!)
- New way to calculate speed that is more accurate for me. This might depend on what GPS chip your phone uses...try both and see which you like more (change in the Settings Screen)
Version 0.5.8 is attached
- AppToDate bug fix
- Start of true metric support
- little bug fixes
Version 0.5.7 is attached
- I think the String->Date bug is fixed, please let me know!
- Added an "Action" menu under the left soft key for start/stop/save (silly non-touch screen phone users!)
Version 0.5.6 is attached
- EMAIL A RUN!
(that is a horrible name for the feature right now....since it just gives you a link to share...)
http://www.trackmyrun.mobi/viewrun.php?run_id=18&auth_code=5qii4mfy
Version 0.5.5 is attached
- Settings screen is up and working
- Goal progress is based on settings now (not just 3.1 all the time)
- All based on miles still, KM is coming soon fear not!
- Few more bug fixes and exception catches
Version 0.5.3 is attached
- GPS unattended mode updates
- Few bug fixes
- Ignore Calories/Pace, those spots are place holders/debugging right now...they will work in a later release
Version 0.5.1 is attached
- GPS stays up in unattended mode now (screen off by time out or hitting the power button)
- Few little bug fixes
Version 0.5 is attached
- KML support is all in now
- Go to view a lot (has to be a new one) and select View in Google Maps
- Change the line in the KML file to be green since that yellow was hard to see
Version 0.4 is attached.
- Fixed a few of the stupid SubString() bugs
- Added Experimental KML support! (start a run, do some stuff, then go to options->experimental->Build KML). It will put test.kml in your devices root folder
- Working on new speed tracking code, it is far more accurate...but not done yet (so ignore that it has like 900 #'s after the decimal point)
- Ignore what it says for calories burnt...that isn't what you think it is
ENJOY!
Version 0.3 is attached.
Looks good! I would definatly use this app!
Looks impressive. The auditory upgrade feature would be cool to add.
There are similar Apps. One in particular is also cool is:
GPS Cycle Computer v2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424423
How would this calculate calories burned if your activity differs?
i.e. Rollerblading vs. Running vs Cycling, etc.
or is it simply based on time and distance to give a general calculation?
Nice looking app, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this one. Keep up the good work.
Does this track coordinates? Or does it track via something else? Cause then I'm thinking that you need an active data connection for this to work :|

It tracks coordinates, so no data plan is needed at all for this. Just a working GPS. Now, I plan in the future to have online features for showing your routes on google maps and storing run data online, ect...but that is in the future...

There are some standard formulats that are based on weight, time of exercise and how vigorous the activity is. For walk, jog, run that is easy (since I now your MPH's). For biking, roller blading, ect that gets tougher.
This is looking awesome. Could really do with an App like this. Keep it up and hope your "about a week" estimate is correct for a first beta.
A question though; I have a Touch HD. Has the interface been written to be able to cope with a WVGA resolution?

I have only tested it on a VGA display (my Touch Diamond). I have played with it in the QVGA emulator and the Square VGA emulator. The layout is far from final (I am not happy with it at all right now), so that is in flux a lot.
Go ahead and try the current version if you like:
http://grebowiec.net/trackmyrun.zip
Please be aware this is a VERY alpha version. There are known bugs that throw exceptions that I don't catch...so be nice
If you do however have any failures or success, please let me know.

AppToDate Support
Could you possibly think about having this AppToDate Support. Since this is in the early stages of development, it would be great to run AppToDate to get the current version. Thanks.
Couldn't wait until I got home so just loaded it up here. Everything seems good until I tried to View Log when it crashes out on me.Unfortunately I don't have NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab installed installed so cannot view details.
Also +1 for Apptodate support!

Did you start and then stop a run? The log file isn't created until you do atleast one and I bet it is dying trying to read the log file (which doesn't exist yet for you if you didn't do a start/stop)
I will do some reading on AppToDate in a bit, see what all it takes to integrate it.

Yeah I had done and paced about abit; notched up 0.003 miles. Stopped the run successfully and then tried to view the log.
I've just jogged home from a friend's house (1.237 miles). This time when I stopped the run it crashed. No error code or anything; just said I had to quit and restart.
Sorry that's probably not much good for bug finding!

Yeah no problems there. Slight lag on speed changes but I guess that's to be expected/part of the suposed and much debated GPS lag on the HD!
No complaints about performance at all.
I'm really liking the look of the App, certianly looks good so far; will be awesome if/when audio feedback can be given.
Something that would be good is if you could make the data from the logs uploadable to a PC to plot onto a graph (via Excel).
Like I said, great work so far! Loving this, who needs Nike/Apple!

The lag might be that I only update the display every 5 seconds (that is for all data). I think I might update the speed in real time (there is a call back function I can attach to for that). I do have plans for graphing/tracking/mapping in the future via an upload to a website feature...but that is a bit down the road I want to get all the stand alone client features working correctly first!
Please let us know when you have completed a final version. this program will be very useful. I know its still in the early stages hopefully you will be able to find the bugs and get them fixed, so we can download complete version.

What version is this rom?
It installed great on my phone, and it's already a nice update from 6.1.
The one problem I have is that in the Profiles, the System Volume option doesn't seem to do a thing -- Even if I lower it to nothing, I still get sound. However, the Ring Volume actually affects both the Ringer AND the System Volume. This means that either my system volume is too loud and my ringer is fine, or my ringer is too soft and my system volume is fine! Is there any way to fix this?
Haven't Seen The Volume Problem
It installed fine on my wife's phone. Just as fugly as 6.1 (though orange splash screen instead of green) but at least it seems a bit snappier and has a couple more programs baked in. It'll get much better when officially released and visual voicemail can be enabled ... wife is waiting for that. (I use Google Voice so it's not a big addition for me.)
I haven't noticed the volume issue that pedrovay2003 mentions. I'll see if I can recreate the problem.
I'm happier with the look of Ookba's 3vo ROM though ...

If you want to test it, try playing a song through Media Player, and then as it's playing, raise the volume of the Ring option in the Profiles. Also, it's pretty easy to tell if you mess with the volume levels and try to delete a folder or file -- The little bleep notification sound it makes will obviously be way louder the higher the number.
Remember, this is the Ring volume -- I haven't been able to make the System volume make a difference at all so far. Other than that, though, the update is excellent -- Thanks for the upload, by the way, Bupahs.
You know what? The wi-fi's giving me issues now, too -- It'll keep jumping rapidly between on and off, and I've had to restart my phone to get it to stay on. That's enough to want to downgrade back to 6.1, but I have now idea how to.

try this : go to Start -> Settings -> Profiles and try changing the volume and save it from there. tell me if that works.

When I do this, and check my profiles, they show as having all desired settings, but the new HTC Volume control overides the profile settings. As soon as you touch the volume control, the profile settings (within each profile) are pretty much ignored. A huge HTC co*k up.....
Can't extract RAR
Thanks for posting Bupahs, but when I download from MediaFire and try to extract the RAR, it stops a 1/4 of the way through and gives me this error:
! C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Downloads\RUU_Captain_S_TMOUS_2.06.531.4_Radio_Signed_MAPLE_61.36t.25.29_3.47.25.48m_Ship (1).rar: CRC failed in RUU_Captain_S_TMOUS_2.06.531.4_Radio_Signed_MAPLE_61.36t.25.29_3.47.25.48m_Ship.exe. The file is corrupt

I re-downloaded it and installed WinRAR but still the same problem - any ideas?

Nope, that doesn't seem to have done anything, either. I went into the Normal profile and actually set the System volume to Off, and there was still sound coming out of everywhere. The Ring volume is still controlling the System volume as well as the ring volume itself.
As for your tip with the W-LAN settings, I'll give it a shot and see if it works. I also disabled the auto shut-off in the same menu you listed, and I think that had something to do with it.

official release is showing on tmo's website now. guess enough leaked and they just said forget the wait.
How does this baby do on battery life? In case I want to fall back, can someone please link me to the stock/OEM ROM...Please?

I had a full charge when i flashed over. I got 2 days with out a charge. I am run active sync a lot during business hours and talk on the phone about 1 to 2 hours a day. I get the same or a little more life than on 6.1.
I installed 6.5 on my Ozone and all is well except for one thing: I use the Microsoft Tag Reader App, which opens web pages in IE by default. Youtube will not show videos in IE now. It did before I upgraded. YT tells me that I either don't have javascript enabled, which I do, or I don't have Flash installed. I installed Flash Lite 2.1, but no dice. YT will work in Skyfire, but Tag Reader won't open to Skyfire, even when it is set to be the default browser. Any ideas?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I am now without an Eris, but am looking to acquire one. If you have one you would like to donate, perhaps an extra or one with a bad ESN, or would like to contribute to my Eris fund, please consider donating so I can resume/rebuild this project and make it great once again!

Update - 06/06/10 said:
It has come to my attention that the developer of SetCPU would like SetCPU removed from all ROMs by default, and instead have a link placed from the first post of the ROM thread to his thread here on XDA - where SetCPU can be downloaded either free of charge, or for $1.99 (donation). Until Rev8, I won't be revising this, but I am highly recommending that you consider donating to the developer of the application. You can do so by clicking here.
You can also check out the SetCPU thread by clicking here. It contains the newest version of SetCPU.
I'm terribly sorry for this mishap and will no longer include SetCPU by default.
I would also like to point out that the reason SetCPU is in /system/app in ZenEXP-Eris isn't to stop users from donating to the developer, but because I had issues with it being pushed from /data/app to /system/sd/app - when A2SD is activated - during beta testing where it would FC randomly. Moving it solved the issue for now. Installing SetCPU from your memory card or the market will result in it being properly placed and cached in your phone and the issue shouldn't present itself.

News/RSS widget/app
Recent apps in notification dropdown
Enhanced Browser with quicklookup and text selector bars(Like the Legend)
Set number of home screens in rosie (5 or 7)
..and loads of other things that didn't make the list
What's Broken in ZenEXP Rev7:
Trackball LED. LED notifications work, they're mapped to the charging/battery LED for now.
"Mobile Network Options" FC's. It's not built to work on a CDMA device, thus the FC.
Gmail doesn't always sync automatically. Manually syncing works just fine.
After taking a picture in the stock Camera app, if you select the button to send it to someone, you will get an
instant FC. This camera app is from another ROM, Zippy is working on getting the stock app to work with this and,
hopefully, it will be included in the future.
Added:
Astro File Explorer (com.metago.astro.apk)
Spare Parts removable through Astro
Google Maps v4.2 (upgraded from v4.0) removable through Astro
XDA-Developers by TapaTalk v1.0 (xdadevelopers.apk) removable through Astro
Wireless Tethering removable through Astro
SetCPU
Any of the apps above can be removed with Astro, except Astro itself and SetCPU. You'll need another file explorer or adb to remove Astro, since it can't remove itself, and SetCPU is install as a System App
Warnings:
Code:
During your first boot-up of this ROM you will be presented with the option to choose
what you like to do with your phone, including:
[LIST]
[*]Always checking my social networks
[*]Viewing recent photos
[*]Keeping up with my schedule
[*]Checking my mail
[/LIST]
[U]Do not[/U] select any of these four buttons as
they seem to cause issues, specifically with Gmail. [I]Selecting them doesn't place
widgets on the home screen as they would on the MyTouch 3G Slide[/I]
Code:
Some applications may FC --ONE TIME-- after applying a new myModes theme.
This should only happen to applications that myModes applies it's theme to, but it will
only happen the first time after installing/applying a new myModes theme.

Very Important Info Regarding Overclocking & SetCPU
zanfur said:
SetCPU doesn't actually set parameters until you make a change, and it will default to min/max at 19.2/864, which is clearly going to crash on every Eris we've tried. When you flash this, be sure to do the following, or it's your own darn fault if you get stuck in a reboot loop!
Select "Autodetect" on the device selection screen
Make sure that SetCPU is not set to start at boot, until you know you've found settings that won't freeze your phone on boot.
Make sure that the first thing you set is to move the max down to a value you know is stable. If it's your first time, set it to 528 and increment up from there.
The "performance" governor is like "always use the highest frequency of the range". It's useful for testing.
A number of people have asked what my SetCPU profiles look like. They look like this:
Default: 480/768 (I have it clock down to 480 instead of 528 because 480 actually uses a lower voltage.)
Standby: 160/245 (I like battery life. It takes a while to show me who's calling, though, when it rings while in standby.)
Failsafe: 40C/245/245 (40 degrees is probably too hot. I want to stop it before it melts, which would be around 50 degrees.)
If you don't want to overclock your Eris but still want to use this ROM, simply uninstall SetCPU with Astro or, if you haven't run it yet, don't run SetCPU.

Downloads & Installation said:
How to install ZenEXP-Eris
Reboot into Recovery
Perform a Nandroid Backup
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Dalvik Cache
Flash ROM
Please be patient, it takes a few minutes to boot for the first time
Allow the phone to boot up for 2-3 minutes before having at it, it's
much faster this way
MMS Fix is built-in, do not flash any MMS fixes!
NOTE: If you plan to use A2SD, you need to create the appropriate partition on your SD card. I recommend: Swap: 0MB, EXT2: 512 or 1024MB. Once you've partitioned, it is highly recommended that you convert your EXT2 partition to EXT3 in Recovery. EXT4 is not supported in ZenEXP-Eris. Also note that creating a partition will wipe your entire card, so please back it up to your computer in advance.

If HTC Sync isn't working properly for you, and it probably isn't, please use the guide and files included below to complete the installation and sync.
For the record, I haven't always had to do this. I was able to install and sync as-normal when using Vista on my old laptop (with the exception of having to disable Avast! during sync's) and even when I first got my laptop and had a stock Eris w/ 1.5. That all changed when I started using this ROM.
Although it'd be pretty damned hard to mess this up, please remember that you, and only you, are responsible for your actions and the end result(s) when using my guide and the files below.

NOTE: You should always check your Windows Task Manager -> Processes panel and make sure adb.exe isn't running. If it is, select it and click "End Process" and you'll be good to go.
UPDATE: I've also noticed that, sometimes, I'm unable to sync by selecting "sync now" from the phone. I can, however, sync by clicking Sync in the HTC Sync application on the computer.
HTC_Sync_2.0.33.exe (installs the below files)

1. Save anything you have open and close it
2. Uninstall HTC Sync
3. Start > Run > type: msconfig
4. Go to the services tab, tick the "hide all Microsoft programs" box (at the bottom of the msconfig window)
(This is very important to click on hide all Microsoft services first or computer issues can occur - be sure to tick this box)
5. Now once that is ticked, click on disable all (Microsoft services are hidden as you ticked the box so they will not be disabled now, it's important that microsoft services don't get disabled, so make SURE you ticked the box as described above)
6. Go to the startup Tab, click on disable all
7. Click Apply, then click Restart Now when prompted
8. The PC will restart with only essential Microsoft programs running
9. Click on do not show this again, if prompted
10. Install HTC Sync (use the file I've included here, it includes the correct driver and HTC Sync version!)
11. Plug in your Eris
12. Your Eris should notify you that you're in Disk Mode (assuming you haven't changed the default, otherwise it could be set to Sync mode or Charge Only mode by default)
13. Slide your notifications drawer down on your Eris and select Disk Mode (again, assuming you haven't changed it, otherwise it will say Sync or Charge Only mode)
14. Once prompted, select Sync and click Done
15. Wait a moment and wait for your computer to find your Eris, setup your Eris in the wizard and enjoy!
Once you've completed the above and sync'd your Eris for the first time, you need to do the following:
1. Start > Run> Type: msconfig
2. Go to the services tab, tick that "hide Microsoft services" box again, then click on "enable all"
3. Go to the startup tab, click on "enable all" (You may choose to leave any unchecked that are slowing your computer down, please check google to see what you can and can't disable here)
4. Click Apply, then click Restart Now when prompted
5. Once your PC reboots, plug your Eris back in and try to Sync, does it work? If not, disable your firewall(s)/AntiVirus and try again. I have Avast! and I have to "disable all shields for 10 minutes" before syncing in order for it to work, most likely you will have to as well.
This is the ZenEXP-Eris FAQ section.
Please read through them all before posting for help as your issue is probably covered below.
UPDATE: If you haven't read this FAQ and/or you're asking for help with something that's already been covered here, your plea will be ignored.
I'm sorry to have to do this, but I need to spend more time perfecting the build for Rev8 and less time explaining the same things over and over again.
This FAQ was last updated for ZenEXP-Eris Rev7
Q: Isn't there already a ZenEXP thread?
A: No, not anymore. Hector has moved on and I started an entirely new port.

Q: Why aren't my softkeys and hardkeys lighting up?
A: The softkeys and hardkeys only light up in dark areas. Try covering the light sensor (top left portion of the Eris, to the left of the ear speaker) to see them light up in a well-lit area.

Q: My MMS isn't working, can you fix it?

Q: A2SD isn't working, what's going on?
A: Did you partition your SD card in Recovery (Volume Up + Power on, while the phone is off, will bring you into Recovery. From there, you'll see the option to partition). I recommend the following for Eris users; Swap:0MB, EXT2:512MB or 1024MB, once you've created your partition head to the main menu of Recovery -> Other -> EXT2 to EXT3. I don't recommend EXT4, but you're welcome to try it.

Q: My phone seems slow now that I installed your ROM, what gives?
A: Is this your first boot, or did you just boot up your phone? The fact is that your first boot will always take longer than any subsequent boot, and each time you boot up your phone it will take a moment for things to load.
I also recommend giving the phone 2-3 minutes to fully load each time you boot it up, unless you absolutely need to use it right away. When doing this, my phone running ZenEXP-Eris flies, and that's without overclocking.

Q: I installed a LWP (Live Wallpapers Patch) but it's not working, help?
A: I can't, sorry! HTC Sense isn't compatible with Live Wallpapers for Espresso at this time. There is an HTC Sense LWP patch, but it doesn't function with Espresso yet.

Q: Gmail isn't autosyncing, can you fix it?
A: I wish, but it's been an ongoing issue with ZenEXP and ZenEXP-Eris. The way around this is to a.) Use the Mail App and set it to poll every 15 minutes, or manually sync Gmail. This will be fixed in the future.

Q: My trackball/jogball LED isn't lighting up, what's wrong with it?
A: The trackball LED isn't functioning in this build, but I've mapped it to the charging LED so you still get notifications. Make sure you turn Notifictions on in Settings->Sounds & Display->Notification flash or they won't work at all.

Q: My screen won't change to landscape automatically, can you fix it?

Q: Mobile Network Options doesn't work in Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks, is it broken?
A: Yes, it's broken. It will FC everytime you try to open it because it's built to offer up Mobile Network Functions for a GSM device, not a CDMA device. The Eris is CDMA. This will be fixed in the future.

A: You have to change it from 5 to 7 in Settings->Personalize->Home screen pages. NOTE that once you change this, if you want to go back to 5 screens only, you'll have to do a Factory Reset.

Q: The People Widget doesn't work, what gives?
A: It's been removed in Rev7 because of this. It was never meant to work with this build. Zen and Zippy tried to get it working but, since it isn't yet, I've removed it.

Q: Do I have to wipe anything to upgrade or can I just flash <newest build> over <older build>?
A: I recommend wiping everything (Data/Cache/Dalvik/EXT) before flashing every time you move to a newer build, to avoid issues and conflictions. The only time I don't recommend this is what I specifically state otherwise for a specific build/upgrade.

Q: I didn't read your entire thread and am now having issues, can you fix them for me?
A: Not until you read my entire thread twice and try to resolve them on your own. It takes a lot of time to debug, fix and release these builds and we all do it for free. The very least you can do is make sure the bug(s) you've found aren't already known before asking for help.

Q: If you removed FriendStream, how will I sync my Facebook Contacts?
A: I didn't remove HTCFacebook, which is what syncs Facebook Contacts.
In addition to HTCFacebook, Peep, a Twitter client, is also included, as well as the Official Facebook App.

Q: My battery life sucks now, please fix it!
A: By default, the "Automatic Backlight Control" is turned off. Settings->Sound & Display->Brightness->check the box next to: Automatic Brightness.
You can also try recalibrating your battery:
Charge the phone to full battery; power off and let it keep charging until the light is green.
Boot to recovery mode and wipe battery stats
Use phone until the battery is so low it shuts itself down - DO NOT charge it until this happens
You should also check out this thread on how to obtain bettery battery life.

Q: I have a Class 4, 6 or 10 card, and would like to move Dalvik Cache to it, how do I do this?
A: Plug your phone in via USB, open up a command prompt or terminal and issue the following;
Code:
adb remount
adb shell a2sd cache
Once completed, I suggest rebooting your phone.

Q: I don't care for some of the apps you've included, can I remove them?
A: Certainly! Open up Astro, click Menu->Tools->Application Manager/Backup->Select each application you'd like
to uninstall, one at a time, by tapping it and clicking the Uninstall button.

Q: After flashing your ROM, I only see "E" in my status bar, what happened to "3G" in other builds?
A: This build uses custom icons to indicate whether or not you're in a 3G zone. The "E" means "EvDO". When not in a E (or, 3G) zone, you will see "1x".

Q: Is it normal for the "crosshair" in the status bar to have a line through it? Also, my GPS isn't working or Maps can't find me..
A: I've disabled GPS Location by default - even if you check it during setup - for privacy purposes. You can easily enable it in Settings->Location->Use GPS Satellites (It will bounce to a new screen where you should keep "Location ON" checked). This should also solve other GPS-related issues.

Trying to iron out what went wrong with Friendstream in Rev6 first, sorry
I'm passing the RC3 along to my beta tester this evening and should be releasing Rev7 tomorrow afternoon sometime.

Rev6 is in the second post, please read everything more carefully next time.
Rev7 will be up tomorrow, it may not be worth installing Rev6 at this time, but you're welcomed to.
The mods you've requested can be done but I can't do them at this time as I have prepaid projects I'm working on right now as well as perfecting Rev7.

Don't tease you jerk
Is rotation working in Rev7? It was busted in Rev6, for me at least.

lol yeah, it's good in Rev7 It's much faster now that the entire build is png optimized, too.
LOL it's not nice to tease like that.
.mak, thanks for all the work you've done!
i installed the r6 tonight and it's beautiful. however, titanium backup 3.1.7 hangs when i batch reinstall apps.
Post updated to reflect current version.
OK.. I'm mainly posting this here because my PC is too low to post in the dev thread.. and I think its best to leave that thread to dev discussion...
First impressions:
Installs quite smoothly and pretty fast.
My install method (in case its needed later)
- Back up and copy to pc
- Complete wipe to stock gb. Root gb and install cwm
- Copy ressurection 8.1 zip to SD card
- Reboot to cwm
- Format data/cache, dalvic cache, system and battery stats
- Reboot to cwm
- Select resurrection 8.1 zip and install. Takes about 5 min
- Reboot to recovery and factory reset (probably not needed but did it to be safe)
- Reboot normally and let system boot up. Takes 3-5 min on first boot
Now on to the fun stuff... on first boot I set up language, clock wifi account etc.
I selected and only use nova... I like it better than trebuchet.
Gmail notification crashes Google accounts right off the bat. This is persistent throughout 3 installs. Seems to work fine after initial crash.
Once SD card scanning and such finishes, i disable fast dormancy (*#*#9900#*#* for menu) thenI reboot normally.
Open market, works fine.. install some primary apps... titanium backup & pro key.. better battery stats, root explorer and LCD density monitor pro.
Set dpi to 160 to give me better screen real estate.. then reboot normally
I'm about 11.5 hours on battery and 83% battery with light to moderate use.. I disable mobile data stuff unless I need it, and generally keep wifi active most of the time..
Overall most things run very smoothly. Some apps don't seem to close properly when killed but I assume its due to those apps.
System does get laggy if a lot of apps are open and sleeping.. I use ATK pretty often to keep things smooth...
Problems I've run in to so far...
This one is pretty big I think... when using flashlight from notification panel, if I leave it on until it times out, my phone completely freezes and I have to long power press to reboot or remove battery to get system rebooted. This is persistent and replicated every time I tried.
Gmail app crashes about 30% of the time. Seems completely random. I'v disabled Gmail notification due to this.. (doesn't crash google accounts like above, just the gmail app)
When holding phone I can feel a very very faint vibration coming from the back side up near the camera.. it pulses about once every 2 seconds. You have to very lightly touch the phone to feel it.. like barely touching it. Not sure if its just mine but its very noticeable if you hold it right. Not sure what's causing this.. doesn't seem to affect anything and phone isn't overheating so I can't give more info...
Random reboots are something everyone is aware of so not commenting there. Nova does hang sometimes for 5-10 seconds. Probably due to this being a dev release and such things are expected.
I'll update more if/when I run in to other issues that people haven't really commented on...

android.acore process keep FC..really disturbing..
it bcoz of auto sync and i hope someone have a fix on this
I think v8.2 is the best among Westcripts ROMs. because of the least FC.
V.8.3
Flashed since yesterday , very stable , no FC's at all, however there is an USB problem , PC won't recognise the devised the way it was in previous versions. Nevertheless I believe it's a ICS bug as I found same behaviour in other Roms as well.
Not bad so far using 8.3
I noticed in his dev post he said that official ICS doesn't have blue coloured wifi/signal bars but I've used my friends nexus & his definitely has blue coloured wifi/signal bars when in use.
Everything else seems pretty smooth at the moment.
Looks like this problem with blue bars has been resolved in 8.4 Currently downloading (check change log).
Not being funny, but is there not a thread in the Development section to discuss this rom, surely creating another, just fragments the chefs build

Would have posted my thoughts there but I don't really want to spam 10 posts just to be able to :/
Downloading/Installing 8.4 now
SMe too.. I have flashed the new version and it seems fine. I haven't checked the GPS yet. What I want from this rom is
T9 dialer in aosp theme
Full screen call id like aosp
Aosp boot

Well actually, that thread is supposed to be for development discussion only; not for general Q&A 'how do I do this or that' like it has been. Which means, if people actually adhered to the rules, using this thread for all the 'HALP' posts would likely make development a lot easier for those working on this particular project. The less spam he has to sift through, the more actual development related posts he can focus on.
Not to mention, as I stated in the OP of this thread, I wasn't able to post my bugs there because of my post count.. So i posted them here, along with some other info (like how to install) about the release.
If only everyone who tried to play forum police actually knew what the dev forums are supposed to be for........
no searching for contact when I typing in number in phone, and T9 is not working in v8.4
Do any of u have the issue with notifications having a 'grey background'? I've had this since 8.3.
Also how can I change back to the stock bootanimation?
Thanks.

I used a app called ROM toolbox suggested in the dev thread to change the bootanimation to the ICS one.
Notifications come up grey here on 8.4.

No issue with the notifications that I've seen so far on 8.4
To get the Samsung boot animation back, do the following:
if you have 8.3 or an earlier version, extract a copy then navigate to extracted file > system > media
copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to your sd card
in root explorer, navigate to your sd card > hit menu and multi select. Select the above to files then click copy/move.
Navigate to /system/media > mount R/W > paste.
Remove bootanimation.zip
set back to R/O and reboot phone.

Temporary fix posted by kevjef420:
go to market and install these three apps. ex dialer, ex dialer ics theme and ics adw theme by kovdev.
set the ex dialer as your main dialer in dock. open setting for ex dialer and select ics theme. then long click on the ex dialer icon in your dock and click edit and select adw theme pack and then find the ics blue phone icon.
now you have a very functional t9 dialer that is very similar to the miui dialer and it works great. I am very happy with the results. this is a good fix untill somebody comes up with a t9 fix for asop dialer.
I've flashed 8.5 and set language to German but somehow it's a mix of German and English!?!
Anybody with same problem or similar?
Navigation from Google Maps keeps force closing everytime i have GPS signal. Maps works fine. What could it be?
Thanks in advance!
v. 8.6
Just installed 8.6, really fast and smooth. Hour in use, no more process stopped.
I am not sure why but in one app's browser and in stock Android file browser I get unusual wide slider. It was normal on 8.4, but changed on 8.5.
