Oh no, just when I was happy with jh2 and super root. Hilarious!

Hmm wonder what this entails?? My data cable isn't with me today so I can't try it out anyone able to flash this and give us an update?
Just flashed and waiting on first boot now. Will give my 2 cents later on.
Well, it is still 2.1 so I will pass as I have no GPS issues which is probably what this fixes...

do a my tracks test - go drive around and see if it plots it accurately
This is crazyness. I just reflashed JH2/ rooted/ ext2. I don't want to do it all over again unless there is HSUPA or no need for the lag fix.
Im still upset about the USB tethering being taken away. What next no Android-wifi-tether?
So far the ROM looks pretty much like JH2. I haven't tested GPS, and probably won't for a while. I didn't notice any new apps, quadrant scores were typical stock scores.
Designgears Superrooter + runs on this, just ran it and applying lagfix now.
Overall, to my untrained eye, no major changes from JH2. Someone with more experience may want to jump in here.

Downloading it now... I'd be happy if the only change was the removal of GPS logging =P

Honestly I haven't looked. And also, I'm not sure I would know if there were changes. I have never used the GPS on my captivate, just use my Tom-Tom.

If you have root explorer, look at the 10th line of /system/etc/jupiter.xml using the text viewer in portrait mode. You should see an entry called cLogEnabled followed by either ="true" or ="false". If the value is "true", then logging is enabled, otherwise not.

Yes, they are still missing.
After root and lagfix, quadrant score is 1897.
About to restore my nandroid of JH2, not seeing any improvements at all.

On mine, cLogEnabled = false.
You guys aren't going to see consistent improvements in quadrant from just flashing to a new internal build of the stock firmware. It's going to be smaller refinements, all of these things we're getting from samsung-firmwares are internal test builds that are current candidates to be new AT&T OTA updates.
Ok, so I may give it to the end of the day.
One thing missing from market is Digital Clock widget by Maize. I even you the market access tool and still nothing. Does anyone have the apk they can give me a link to or something?

Yeah, I don't put much faith in Quadrant scores, I just list them as more of an FYI. Real world testing, about the same as JH2 so far.
Ok, was getting ready to flash a new ROM (ViperROM Trinity), and saw I needed to first flash DK28 modem and PIT(whatever those are?), anyway, installed ODIN, loaded the files like it said (only, it said use modem.bin, all I had was modem.tar, but seemed to work) and now my DATA is super slow. I used to get about 1Mb down and over 600 k up on 3G and 6-8mb down and 1.3mb up on 4G, now I'm getting 60k down and 150k up on 3G and 600k down and 600k up on 4G.
Also, have Signal Status Bar app installed, gives me my dbm for signal, Usually the CDMA and EVDO are about the same, but now I can have good CDMA (-70 or so) but I am only showing -1dbm on EVDO all the time, it never changes.
I have flashed back to stock Eclair, up to the leaked stock Froyo, a rooted stock Froyo, and now using Viper Trinity ROM, nothing seems to help.
I honestly don't know if I was having this problem before I flashed the modem and PIT or not, but nothing I do fixes it. I have been all over the place today traveling as far as 40 miles from home, still same everywhere.
FWIW, I had already upgraded to the leaked stock Froyo ROM before I used ODIN to flash the DK28 modem and PIT, I just didn't realize I didn't need to do that before flashing the ROM since I already had it.
Any ideas out there?
Download the data governor fix from ViperRom's thread. Follow the directions. Just make sure to take it easy on data. Don't constantly download large files.
hm, I'll try this. Ya, my 3g data speeds have gone down to around 20-30 kb/sec on average... You think this might help it?
It doesn't seem like the data problem is a "governing" issue.. But could anyone elaborate on what this actually does, or what the data problem is?
Thx for the tip!
Sent from the future.
Edit: applied viper's governor fix, and will continue to test- initial speed tests seem faster, but still under 100kbytes/sec down, about 70 kb up.

I wonder if since you just reflashed if you are syncing google/fb/twitter stuffs. and its slowing you down.
I noticed it too, I get around 40kb down and that sucks a lot, luckily I get 4g at work

no-- the stuff I'm syncing didn't change before/after flash, but I have most turned off:
Account sync: only Gmail (I do contacts and calendar manually)
No Facebook sync (..but I wonder what the SNS service is).
No twitter syncing.
Google Voice widgetservice and updateservice are the only other extras I can think of.
The last speed test I did, I was able to get over 100kb/s down. The odd thing is, my up speed has stayed the same. Before flashing Viper's fix, my down was about half my up. As of last test, my up is about twice my down kb/s (which seems a little more "normal").

Well, I hate when I struggle with a problem for a day or two, then post the question, then right after wards I figure it out.
That's what happened though. A little bit after I posted the question I tried Update Profile, and that fixed it. Go figure....
Anyhow, I also installed the data governor fix as recommended and it seems to have upped my speeds a bit. I am now getting over 1.2mbs down, and nearly 800k up. Not too bad for 3G. Haven't tested 4G yet....
Thanks to all for the help.

Will this work on a rooted 2.1 rom?
Ok, just for S's & G's ... I decided to try the data throttling removal zip Myn provided with RLS5. Now in my area I've had speeds as high as 8mb DL, but generally hover around 1.5mb. Not really what I expect from "blazing fast 4G" lol.
So I ran about 30 speed tests before I installed the removal zip. They all looked very similar to this. (No links = FAIL)
1.75mb DL & 0.45mb UL
I installed the zip file and ran another 30 or so tests. They all looked very similar to this. (FAIL again!)
3.45mb DL & 0.90mb UL
I did this between the hours of 8pm and 9pm, why service really starts to get laggy. It still can't eat a Twinkie faster than a fat girl... but I'll take what I can get.
Anyone else using this??

AFAIK, it'll only work on RLS5, but if the services.jar is unchanged between Sense ROMs, then it should work on others. Just take a Nandroid and try it yourself.
Sorry to say this has been proven to do nothing on Sprint.

To quote John Wayne (google it if your young) " It's getting to be re Gawd-Damn-diculous! "

Here is a flashable version of the full HTC Eris stock ROM - v 2.41.605.6.
March2011_OTA_ReferenceROM_v1.zip ( 99,606,802 Bytes; MD5: 770786915545a16f564a42e344ce7bb6 )
( 02/15/2012 - Re-hosted download link - thanks to XDA user doogald for providing a home for this ROM )
This is what you would get if you took the HTC 2.1 Leak-V3 PB00IMG.zip (same thing as the "Official 2.1 RUU") ROM, and then upgraded it twice - first with the July 2010 OTA, and then after that with the March 2011 OTA. (Using this ROM flash basically saves you that trouble.)
The ROM itself is completely stock, but unlike the "Flashback21" series of ROMs, this flash does not restore a stock recovery, nor flash any radio firmware - you can use it just like any other ROM.
(It is not meant to used for preparing a phone for resale or return - use the FlashBack21 ROM for that).
AGAIN, please note that this ROM is completely stock - it is not even rooted.
Feel free to use it as the basis for other 2.1 Sense ROMs.
If you want to have a "pure HTC stock ROM", but with the benefits of overclocking and rooting, I suggest you flash the "engtools3.zip" and Conap's "CFSv9" kernel immediately after flashing this. This would get you "stock+root+overclocking" - kind of like the original "PlainJane" ROM, but patched up to the current (3/2011) HTC software release.
One other note. Out of curiosity, I decided to run some benchmarks on a GB ROM vs. this HTC ROM, but using the same kernel (CFSv9), and clocked at a fixed rate (setCPU min = max = 748Mhz). So, I performed the kernel replacement and then ran a couple benchmarks.
This allows a crude comparison of what the improvements in the underlying dalvik engine have been between the Eclair release and the Gingerbread release - it is sort of "apples to apples" because the same kernel, scheduler, applications, and clock rates are used.
The numbers here are not the absolute benchmark values, but rather their RATIO - GB:Eclair. (In the cases where the benchmark value is "lower = better", or elapsed time, the value is inverted so that in all cases, a number greater than 1.0 indicates an improvement in Gingerbread). I used JIT = on, and compcache off for the GB ROM.
Code:
Ratio Benchmark
1.57 Quadrant Full
1.16 Elapsed Time (wall clock time) for Quadrant Full
1.10 setCPU "Long Bench"
0.96 setCPU "Native Bench" **
-.-- Linpack for Android - Skipped (not meaningful - too sensitive to JIT)
** This one should be very close to 1.0, as native code does not depend on the dalvik app engine.
In "real world" terms, Quadrant's raw score probably is not too meaningful - but notice that in elapsed time for the full benchmark, the GB ROM was consistently about 16% faster to completion. That measurement - wall clock time - is a "real world" metric. So, in addition to all the other goodness of Froyo/GB, you do seem to get a decent improvement - 10 to 15% - by switching to GB.

Great work!!! This will definitely come in handy
Very nice!
This is great - thanks!
Thank you bftb0!
This saves a lot of time for all the base work on future updated versions of xtrROM and xtrSENSE! I really appreciate all you do for us in the Eris community.

I think that the superlatives being tossed around here are causing the eyes of the real devs in this forum to roll backwards in their heads. I hope not!
There's not much skill in putting a stock ROM together - just a bunch of checking to make sure you've got all the symlinks, file modes, and permissions set up correctly. Then, zip it up and sign it!
( I did load it onto my phone and check everything to make sure nothing had gone horrible wrong; I suppose that counts for something - but that's not mad skilz, either. )

Looks like it is mostly bug fixes with some enhancements in the Exchange client, MMS capabilities, and several other things.
Here is what Verizon had to say about it.
I did a "file differences analysis" (see this XDA post) that showed that 101 (out of ~127) different pre-installed apps had (.apk) changes, and 20 different framework libraries (.jar) showed changes too. Whether they were major or minor, I don't really know - just that it was apparent that a lot of stuff got "touched". The "system" image in both releases have a little north of 810 files in them - about 260 of those got changed.
I only had the ROM running for a short period of time (to do testing); the one thing that I noticed is that on my home WiFi (uses WPA), the association process was instantaneous - that was sort of rare for me in the past.
Was the radio changed at all in this update?

I never had problem with WiFi and stock, but I do for sure with CM ROMs running CFS when I turn on WiFi from a widget. However, just to test, I flashed CFS v9 over this last night, turned off WiFi for a while, then turned it back on from the widget, and it also associated right away for me.
I have themed this ROM and am about 80% done with it. Thanks for this runs really well on the stock kernal. I am just wondering how popular 2.1 is now with Froyo and GB out. If there was a base of people that like sense eclair I would consider releasing it once it was finished.

I would love a theme with a blue battery and themed dialer! Would it be similar to the "Sensibility for Sense 2.2" theme you were working on?
No offense to anyone, but I would likely only even try the March OTA in the form of an updated ROM from zach.xtr, or if I modified it myself.
Nothing against you, it's just that whenever I want to go back to near stock, xtr's ROMs are just too well established for me to experiment with anything else.
This caught my attention when I went to check what kernel was being used. I've seen the Nexus One, Nexus S and now HTC EVO(leak gingerbread), Galaxy S(official) all based on 2.6.35 gingerbread kernel. Why does the droid x gingerbread still have a "froyo" based 2.6.32 kernel still? I just don't get it. Thoughts? just curious.

This is the exact reason why. It is currently not possible to flash an unofficial kernel so we are stuck with what we have. I think we should be very happy that we even got gingerbread
You are missing the point. I didn't say why we can't flash any kernel I said why it didn't come with gingerbread kernel. Its Motorola phone and they created the damn thing.
Could be that Motorola doesn't want to push the processor anymore. I do notice a significant difference between Froyo and gb. They could also be waiting till they push the official release. They might be trying to figure out how to block root first. Not that that will work. Just my .02.

Sounds like it. I guess we will see then. My only problem with gb is with wifi and bloatware taking up memory. Can't stream a 10min or 6min video without it timing out. And sometimes it don't find any networks when you turn it on. Annoying. Its a kernel issue though.

I'm not even sure it has to deal with pushing the phone anymore. A kernel is simply an interface to the hardware layer of the phone. You could have a 2.52 kernel that still clocks the phone the same without burning up the battery and the internals. I'm guessing that it is just a Moto thing. I haven't seen any other Moto devices with higher than the current kernel we have. My guess is they aren't focusing on the kernel. Right now, they have what they consider a stable kernel base, so they are just leaving it.
I can talk to a couple of dev's for their input, but I don't think that the kernel makes that big of a difference for us especially from a 2.32 to a 2.36 standpoint.

Yea that makes sense. I agree with you on those points. I'm sure the .35 kernel google is using for gingerbread is stable as well. Anyway Lets just see what happens when the official is released.
The ROM Download page for Liquid 3.0 shows downloads for chevyno1 kernels for both the Droid2 and the DroidX.
Is it possible to flash different kernels on this device?
If so, can you please provide details and instruction or perhaps provide a link to further info?
Thanks!
