Petition: ZenExp Rev8 to be Re-opened - Droid Eris Android Development

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.
Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

here's a pic of the zenexp rev7. Now imagine this updated but better with more than 10 themes. It'll be awesome. We need to encourage the developer to finish this project.

i would like to see this reopened.

Yes! I was on this for a year, and I had to finally move on -- one of the saddest days of my life. I would love to see Rev8!

Yea I'll vote even though Im on a Dinc now. I still have my Eris laying around enjoying its retired life. Could have made a poll to go with your thread.
DINC|CM7|INCREDIKERNEL

This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.

Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.
If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.
Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?

Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.
You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.

The reason they are plain is for u to
Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less

I had a feeling it was for people to create their own. I just noticed that with all the CM7 themes. they look awesome.

Why is the DEV section for the Epic so shi**y?

is it due to not a lot of people having the phone ? inexperienced devs? even the roms that exist have one thing or another that doesnt function properly...there only seems to be one solid rom for sure and the rest are just ehh...just trying to figure this out im coming from a device that had so many roms i didnt know what to do and on this side theres really only 3 or 4 choices. is this a froyo deal?lack of people with the units or what?
My best guess would be most devs are waiting for froyo to drop since it should be soon.

Its tuff to dev something knowing froyo us coming. I started my theme to be used on my rom but decided not to cook a rom. It well be easy to port my theme for use with froyo. A 2.1 rom ported to 2.2 us hard. It would be easier to start from scratch with a froyo build

Its the same thing that happened with the moment, almost no dev support. 1 because its a Samsung, 2 because it was the second 4g phone, 3 because its $50 more.
The Evo community is thriving though.
Look at the Moment forum on sdx-developers, then look at the Hero forum here on XDA. Same thing for the Epic vs Evo.

i was just asking a question...thanks for the answers fellas
I really hope people will develop for Epic, I really enjoyed the ROMs on Evo. But I liked this one better, hope I didn't make a big mistake! Oh well, I haven't even rooted this one yet, maybe Ill just give it a rest for a while. I know my wife will like that. Don't mean to insult the devs, you're all we got, just wish more people had this phone.

I concur, in a perfect world this phone (which I am getting tomorrow) would be so great that I wouldn't flash rom after rom for little things such as percentage battery mod or something. I would flash roms because it looked slightly different than the previous. and always felt like something was missing. I hope i can just be satisfied with the roms and such that are available for the Epic.
Don't worry u will have plenty of devving for epic. It will not be as much as evo though as evo has much more devs and is more popular and has been out longer. But we will have quality not quantity and after froyo we will see more devving. Most devs don't wanna waste time if the update is coming in less than a month (hopefully).

Quick question, so now that the Gingerbread SDK is released,,what does that mean? Do that mean that Devs will start making roms based off that or that the official Gingerbread 2.3 is right around the corner?
Any word on whether or not they decided to use that BlindType keyboard that they bought earlier?
I KNEW IT!! haha thank you
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm not going to lie. I'm not impressed. Android's copy and paste icons look like something from about 10 years ago to me. I like HTC's version better.
And the updated ui does look a little better now that everything is black with green highlights. Still an ugly ui overall.
It just helps app developers get up to speed. People have tried to do roms from these but they come out very hacky at best. The source for 2.3 is needed for full roms. The is the sdk.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I suppose that HTC has it in development already so they can inlay Sense over top of this. Also, now all the Dev's can start developing their new Rom's with this base. Hopefully Flipz is still on top of his game! No telling how long it will be before Sprint is done with it. I would imagine they will hold up any official update for whatever they have to do. It's just a matter of time now.
I swear I've embedded videos on the forums here ...
Android 2.3 sure looks ugly. I guess I'll be making a theme that makes it look like Froyo.
it means devs can start making apps for it im i think , but knowing xda theyll do their thing and have roms out before the official release

One of the stated features of GB is "better keyboard". One would assume that may mean "yes" to your question.

Does the Hero have Froyo? Does the Moment? We wont know until/if it happens.
Either way we probably won't see a official 2.3 device on Sprint for at least a few months.

Who else is done flashing Roms/Kernels until Cyanogen comes to the vibrant?

I'm done flashing anything. I stopped on Axura and that's that. It's Cyanogenmod or bust.
I'm not even doing the beta crap either. I'm waiting for the first..maybe second, non beta official release.
anyone else?
Did you call the newspaper and let them know? This could land you on page 9 of the local nitwit section

I like Axura. Just flashed 2.2 today and everything is fine except i havent been able to send a MMS yet. Im sure ill get it fixed soon. 2.1 was running great for me. Guess is should of just kept that one.
I'll hold my breath for cyanogen the same I do for samsung. I've used cm on various devices, and while good, what exactly is it going to bring to the vibrant that team whiskey (or any other current dev besides axura) doesn't? They have bugs and issues, maybe not a ton, but they're there.
I'm happy with my tw vibrant.

I'm running r13 and don't think I going to flash anything else till a stable 2.3 rom or cm comes out.

I Agree!
Cleanup thread!
Deleted Off topic.
Please keep the topic of the thread!
I started with the G1 and have flashed too many ROM's to remember. I have found quite a few that I liked more than Cyanogen. Even though he has done a great job, just his name on a ROM doesn't make it the best there is.
not me!!, I'm going to keep flashing everytime there is a new rom I think is worth trying out, after all how will I know if I like something better if I don't try it?
What has the world come to? How can anyone call themselves loyal XDA followers and not be flashing a rom??? Its your duty.

A few months late to the party buddy, this is yesteryear's news
Hello all
This news is good but look at the work of XDA developers...
They made a lot for rom same as CM7 and Tnmiui, i actualy use cm6.1.3 and a will use CM7.
I didn't think that sony ericsson made best rom than XDA developers.
So i just wait XDA developers use the rom 2.3 of SE to made better rom...
Sorry for the english, i'm french... ^^

Lol, devs here also create great ROMS. But he is a little bit right, if you want a really bug free ROM, SE will provide that. It will take our Devs a little bit longer to provide such a bug-free version. I'm not saying ther aren't good. They are even VERY good. I couldn't do it better.

Agreed, but the point of this thread was like "omg look at the news!!"
I'm just so sick of people not reading, or not bothering to search.
I see it soooo much, and it gets to me
IMO the best rom will be when we customize the SE 2.3, remove the junk, enable JIT if it won't be and similar stuff...that will probably be the daily ROM for most

IMHO the best rom would be a CM7 rom, with all the x10 2.3.3 theming and dialer, phonebook, sms, etc. base apps =D
Sure that would be easy to port since they are both gingerbread and we should get the GB kernal in our update.

[Q] Most complete CM7 based ROM?

Sorry for not spending a huge amount of time researching this, guys. It's not for me.
I'm a flash-a-holic and my friend has your phone model and needs a new ROM installed on it. So I get one shot at this. I won't be "supporting" her phone and flashing nightlies all the time.
CyanogenMOD's site says that CM7 is officially supported, so that's what I'm considering flashing for her. It looks like there are a few threads based on it and many of the dev's have since discontinued support.
Can you guys point me to the most complete/stable CM7 based ROM out there?
I don't want CM9 or CM10 based ROM's because based on what research I have done, those still have some important things broken. Like camcorder or Netflix or 4g, etc.
This needs to be a "Flash once and be done with it" type of deal.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not after the "most popular" or "coolest" ROM. Because I know all ROM's are a WIP and Dev's improve on things daily. I just want the CM7 build that has the least amount of items broken.

Reloaded. Its super smooth. If you only have one shot and wont be supporting, I'd recommend reading into cod tweaks. The updated settings should be linked somewhere in the thread.
And also go to advanced setting/display and make sure screen on/off is checked. Without it, you may have issue waking phone from time to time.
That's about the only "issue" I've ran into on reloaded. Fix that and its smooth sailing out of the box.
If she wants the ics look at all, download Holo launcher (free). Paired with the built in ics cm7 theme it'll look strikingly close.
Good luck
I'll second that. Below is a screenshot from my phone, and I'd say it is indeed striking. Yes, this is reloaded:

Anyways, however you theme it, it's completely solid and once it's set up it runs forever, no drama. Sounds ideal for the situation the OP describes.

Well if were sharing screen shots...
First of all questions go in the q&a (that's question and answer) section. That's usually where you put questions that you want answers to
Second you should search around and notice that any thread asking which rom is best gets shut down asap as its all opinion and you should figure out on your own and make your own opinion.
