Evil Eris 2.0.1 Messaging Bugs - Droid Eris Android Development

Hi, I've been searching high and low for others with this problem but here I am starting a thread...
First let me just thank all the devs who worked on this ROM. Your work is very much appreciated.
Is anyone having issues with SMS after flashing EE 2.0.1? I went straight to 2.0.1 no 2.0 first. Seems to be OK except somewhat buggy. Maybe this is why?
Here's the central issue for me so far:
When typing in an SMS text input box with Handcent, screen would go blank/black and just stay like that with no recovery. Could eventually get back to home but message input would be lost . It got so bad I uninstalled Handcent (crying shame, i loved it) and went back to stock SMS (hate it, booo!). Even with that I still have issues though not as frequent. While typing in text box, text box will disappear and I am left looking at the general text thread, but at least when I pull the box back up my message is still there and I can keep going. Happens CONSTANTLY. I am an avid texter and will have to try other ROMS to fix if I cannot resolve. I'm lazy and don't want to do that .
Should I wipe and flash 2.0, then 2.0.1? OR I guess if I'm going to do all that I might as well flash 3.0? Any more conservative suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!

i'd suggest going to 3.0, never used it tho. do a nand back up first, and if you don't like it you could always restore back. the update of the rom might fix what ever is causing your issues. i read most of the EE thread, and don't ever recall anything like what you describe. maybe .... you could try uninstall handcent, then reinstall see if it helps any. just might be worth a try.
also you prolly should of posted this in the EE thread. some people around here get pissy when new threads are started.

Evil Eris 2.0.1 is only a flash update to 2.0 - you must have EE2.0 installed first. It also sounds like you didn't do a data wipe before flashing EE either. Personally, I would move to EE3.0 anyways. Framework is working on an update to 3.0 now that will finish the incomplete theme as well.

What g00gl3 said. Do a data wipe (backup first) and flash 3.0 anyways. There'll be a new version of 3.0 out very soon.

I did do a wipe... I'll try 3.0 and see what happens. That's a project for the weekend. BTW, I cannot find the EE thread. Can someone post a link to that? Search is limited in this forum (and I'm new here so maybe it's right in front of me). Thanks for the advice!

It's in the front now, I had a few FC's at first when I flashed it, but after a couple of days it was smooth sailing.

EE Link is in my sig.

Me too, lolz...

Thanks kindly everyone! Apologies to Mods for the new thread.

Flashed 3.0 yesterday and issue has been resolved, as it mostl likely would had i gone back and instead flashed 2.0 THEN 2.0.1. Anyhoo, LOVE 3,0!!! I especially dig the subtle blue theme (blue battery display, icon backgrounds turn blue when touched, etc). SWEET. Soft key backlights work, runs super smooth. Very nice!

Fresh rom with optimization text problem

i dont know what is up, but i love this rom. only issue so far that i am having is that when i go to message settings it force closes everytime. i was trying to set my notification tone. it plays the one i have in setting in the phone and the text message one. sound funny.
There may be a more elegant fix BUT if you just want it to start working why don't you do a Nandroid restore to your last working setup and then reflash .6? i only offer this advise because nobody else seems to be having any issues with text on .6 including me.

I'm not sure what you mean by "with optimization". But I can't duplicate your issue.
its the zip on i think the first page that optimizes apps. it really inproves the speed. dont know if it did it before.. may do a restore just dont want to have to set my stuff up agian. lol
ok it wasnt doing it after a fresh install so and then all of a sudden it did. im going to try the newer version of the optimization.. really confused now. its either that or the green theme im using.
The optimizations do not effect the text messages, in fact, they do not effect anything, all there is to them is optimized images and zip alignment for faster file access. I am running Fresh 0.6 with my optimizations and experiencing none of those issues
I have the same setup (Fresh Rom w/ Optimzation).
My text problem is a little different though.
I use handcent SMS, and I received a text message today that previewed in the quick reply box, which I closed. Then, when I went to the handcent application, that text message is missing.
Is anyone else experiencing missing incoming text messages w/ Handcent?
ok well im having a issue with phone not vibrating as well and went back to stock so i will have to see. it may be a app i have added, but i have like a 100 so i dont know which one yet.
i'm running Fresh 0.6 and the optimizations from 11/24 and i'm sorry to say gents that I'm not having either of those problems.
everything is running smooth on my end (went from MoDaCo to Fresh 0.2 to Fresh 0.4 and now Fresh 0.6)... only problem I ever had was the wifitether stopped working on 0.2, but has since been fixed.
might be worth reflashing fresh..

Is This true.....?

So I've been hearing a lot of talk about a spanish dev that dropped a rom on these forums that is faster than Super D, FastTEst, Cyan, all the eclairs and Stock roms,.....basically, top of the line and untouchable.
wow....
It is referred to as "SuperCSDIV4" anyone heard of it?
Haven't flashed myself yet, thought I'd get a few more opinions before doing so,
is this true?
Just installed this and did a titanium restore and excuse the language but Holy **** this rom flies!!!
I never thought i'd see the day a rom could get me off SuperD but well all I can say is 'Super who?'
Supsetup is an amazing feature here and has full swap/swappiness controls that work. Compcache is available through spare parts (currently not working) not that either are required. When you first start there is a lot of spanish things such as the widgets an has a spanish metamorph but titanium restore took care of that, even restoring my apn settings for me. the speed of the app draw is scary and somehow advanced launcher is built into the home itself. Also this has NO ramhack on it so 3d gaming is fast and furious if your into that. going to install beholdII 3D cube as well to see how it runs as it was slow and sluggish on SuperD and will update when I have more news.
All I can say is welcome to the future of the G1!
SuperD just lost its crown!

OMG.....Gotta flash this right away, thank you shadowch31
Everything seems to be working but the keyboard ALT symbols are different
on the keyboard, bluetooth, wifi, 3g, messaging, everything really! No force closures or problems, sometimes can stutter a little going to home but other than that this thing really is amazing. Had me up all night playing on it. I feel if compcache was working this would solve the stutter problem but still playing with settings.
Will update more as I play.
Okay fixed the keyboard layout, wasn't to hard to figure out and now have full UK qwerty keyboard with the correct ALT character set, anyone needs it I'll post a tutorial.
Also Fix_Permissions is a MUST! I was having a few issuse installing third party apps at first but this is now working thanks to the script.
I've found it best to keep home apps out of memory (spare parts) still working on the compcache problem but hoping to have that fixed soon.

Me? Good? Don't you read my posts!
There is blue something that is based off this, gonna do a comparison once finished tweaking.
Also found to cut the home screen lag enable swap with 30 swapiness.
Once I have all the kinks worked out I'll learn about how to pack it all up for people to download
Will be a private link as its not my rom so won't be posting in developement.

I didn't I just restored a titanium backup
You could just enter the settings manually, easy to do.
which version did u install? the first one 1.3? because the newer one dont seem to have supsetup and might not be as fast but the older one there was a bunch of issues including sms

I managed to sign in with google from the wifi at the library, but Google talk wouldn't sign in, so everything I downloaded from market was just at a pause....back home now, adb pushed a copy of Titanium back to phone since market wouldn't let me download, now restoring all apps and data with batch proccess, but there is still no data signal???not even edge, after restoring all settings with Titanium and rebooting should that bring data back?
EDIT: by the way you're right, this rom is smoking fast! Twice as fast as super d, if I get the internet working, Im sticking with this rom for a while!
Alright! That did it.....whewww..thank goodness for Titanium backup!
Everything is in place, internet back, settings, and apps restored. now to enjoy the luxurious speed this rom has to offer

Thanks, I'll keep note of that in case I need it, also, just noticed a whole thread about apn's at the top of this forum, can't believe I never noticed it
Edit: By the way, have you tried to use JitHack on this rom yet?
waits for private rom* Hurry it up boy! We don't have all day.

so many roms, which one? SMS specific

i know there are tons and tons of ROMs to try, but i dont really have the time and patience to try every single ROM to find what i need, which is quite simple/basic really. i'm still running a stock ROM that my TMOUS HD2 came with, but the SMS is laaaaaaaaaaggggggy as can be. almost makes me want to return my phone. it's kind of laggy switching between conversations and stuff like that, but the major issue i have with it is when i get an incoming text, my whole phone freezes. sometimes up to 10 seconds. and if i'm talking to more than one person at once, it gets SO frustrating and i want to break the phone into pieces lol
so basically, i'm just curious as to if anyone knows of a specific ROM (or ROMs) that significantly speed up the SMS issue. i've searched a few, but none that got SMS specific. most just say faster and more reliable. so now i'm deciding to post a thread for one. the only thing i have on my phone currently is cookies home tab. along with a few other minor cabs (like the middle unlock slider)
i'm ok about trying a few out, i just cant go down the long list of ROMs flashing for days. so any help would be greatly appreciated
and also, sometimes the whole SMS app will act up and i will get a text, and it will say the exact same message that i just sent, just looks like it's from the other person. so i have to delete the whole conversation to be able to text again. and at other times i will send a text, and i think they get the message, but it never shows up in the conversation. again, delete the convo and restart the phone. it's quite irritating.
i should also mention i want to keep the conversation setup, and i do use swype (i think i read somewhere that swype wasnt compatible with that particular ROM)
If your phone is freezing that long then there is another issue at hand. Try formatting your SDCard. I experienced freezing once early on and formatting the SDCard fixed it for me.
As for a ROM to use, this question is asked at least once a week and no one can answer it for you but yourself. If you don't have the patience to try different ROMS then you really should read abit more on the forum before making a decision.
Energy ROMS work very good for me for what it's worth.
yeah i have a few i am going to try, but i thought maybe someone was experiencing a similar issue that they fixed. would save me some trouble heheh.

aw man guess ima have to live with it then. they need to get a fix for that. it's ridiculous. but i'm still going to flash me a rom or two

format the memory card in the phone with the memory app.. that helped alot for me.

ROM 3.14

I read in another forum that the official release will be another week or so due to some tweaking they want to do to the ROM.
I don't know if this is accurate or not (and I do not have alink to the forum where I read this...I read too many forums), but I think I may wait for the official release.

when 2.13 was leaked it was exactly the same as the one that was released. I'm guessing this will be the same deal. Doesn't hurt to wait though.
3.14 is amazingly stable in my opinion...loads faster than 2.13 to boot!
I didn't wait.
I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable it's been. I've had maybe one or two freezes since the install and that was on day one. Since then it's been rock solid. Even the HTC messaging has been lag free.
It will be some time before I think about switching back to custom ROMs. Although I do miss all those nice features that nrgz has in his builds...
I'll probably install the official release if they've made any tweaks.
I love reading this and am not a patient man, but on the tmo forum (I finally figured out where I read it) they note puling it back for a few more tweaks.
probably bs, but who knows.
I know I should just dicer in with a link from here as I did last time, but I just did a fresh wipe and reinstall a few weeks back due to exchange server policy enforcement and subsequent lock out and thought maybe to wait...just in case.
thanks for the kind responses though!
There is a major flaw. my head phones do not work with this rom. i tested it twice and then had to go back to retail to confirm that my head phone did not become defective. im sure they will review and fix this issue. the speed is the same i can confirm. it needs some more tweaks none the less.
3.14 has been working fine so far. However, my lock screen picture is now stretched. It's driving me insane!!
Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be happening because of something other than the new rom update?
Does anyone know how to adjust lock screen pictures? I can't seem to find any options.
How do you install the .exe file?
What .exe file? The ROM itself? You connect your phone via USB to your computer, let it sync, then run the .exe from your computer to install the ROM on your phone. Read the stickies for exact instructions.

maybe something was wrong apart from the rom, because both stock and my custom roms worked fine... i listen to audi via headphones twice a day every single day... and my headphones work
the rom is a little faster and there are new GUI designs
when i used it as a custom rom, i had no issues. but the moment i used xmoo version of 3.14 i would always get the same issue. i connect head phones and i dont hear anyone talking via phone calls. also for some reason, they are always on speaker phone even if the option is not enable.
can you please link me the version of rom you are using?

God what a huge improvement everything is. I unplugged it from power last night around midnight and left it next to my bed while I slept. With WiFi on. It's now 10 hours later, I've toyed with it for about an hour, and the battery is at 90%.
Unfortunately, HTC Messaging + Swype doesn't appear to be a lot better. Maybe a little, in terms of the initial lag when replying to a msg. Also, when a new msg comes in and you hit the message tab, the thumbnail isn't always the current msg.
Emails look a TON different. Much smaller text = YAY!
Knucklehead noobie here... Where do I get the updated ROM from? Thanks.
Does flashing a new ROM delete all your text messages and stuff?
ranestari, yes it does.
However, just sign up for the Microsoft MyPhone thing (free, and if you already have a live account, you're good to go.) The MyPhone app is in your start menu.
It will back up (sync) all of your texts and pics to their online space, only accessible by you (http://myphone.microsoft.com)
When you flash the rom, just launch the MyPhone app again, log in etc... and it will sync all your texts back to your phone.
There are third party sync options out there, but I've never seen the point.
After flashing 3.14 to my HTC HD2, Microsoft My Phone no longer can synchronize with my computer. It just gets stuck at Authenticating User.
Anybody else have this problem?
Microsoft MyPhone doesn't sync with your computer. It syncs to the cloud (internet). Just put in your live, msn, hotmail or whatever account you configured it with before you flashed, and it should resync.

Can you elaborate on this? My main frustration with the current rom is the stupid HTC messaging client with swype. I absolutely despise this thing and I tried disabling it and going back to the old windows messaging but that didn't go too well (unread counter never resets.. OMFG so frustrating!). My only hope is that they fix this crap in the new rom.
Is the lag when loading texts still ridiculous? Is it at least somewhat better? Why haven't they figured this out, this is just pure crazy in my opinion. A company of that magnitude can't figure out how to fix one of the most basic applications in the phone. this is absurd.
I personally HATE Swype and disable it evertime I flash to a new ROM or come in contact with someone thats got an HD2 with it enabled, but what I can say is that while HTC Messageing in the new ROM is "faster" its also just as slow. What I mean is that (for me anyways) it no longer lags when I get a new text, but its just as slow to load a thread if it has any ammount of messages in it. Personally I don't find HTC Messageing to be all that bad if you just delete your threads every now and then, but thats just me.

[Q] goldeneye reboot after sms

So the title says it all im on current golden eye I have flashed done a clean install and I notice when im on the lock screen and I receive a sms my phone decides to reboot I have used the suggested kernel as im in canada any ideas?
Not sure if I can factory reset while on golden eye and keep golden eye after this is done. I have seen similar issues in here with other roms.
I would love to keep this rom as my daily driver as everything works well except this little hiccup. .
Oh and a little off my original topic I have also noticed XDA keeps reloading after I signed in and cant zoom in I have had this issue on many roms not just this one..
Anyways thanks in advance for any ideas to help.
think I figured it out
Seems as though it was widget locker 2.4.1 deleted it and bam hasnt rebooted yet I liked it because I can swype to unlock and after a set amount of time I would have my lock screen any one know how to achieve this with out widget locker?
I would recommend posting in the GoldenEye thread and asking iB4STiD there. He does great with responding to questions that are not already covered in that thread.
