Need a little bit of help. I rooted my eris using KaosFroyo V39 and now certain things do not work or work right.
When viewing pictures, i rotate the screen and i get multiple views of the picture but can not actually see it.
My notification led and track ball do not light up anymore.
I get force closes with apps and all the time with the stock browser.
I thought that when i root the phone that i would get better battery life and that the lag would go away. Dont get me wrong the lag is 100% better but still get it.
So i was looking to see if anyone had any ideas what i should do? Should i switch to a different rom? I want something to be more stable.
Any help would be helpful. TY :D

the 3d gallery on froyo roms is atrocious. I'm not sure exactly what you're describing, but give the 2d gallery a try.

You should still be able to change the notification profiles on a per-app basis. will they not light up at all?

shouldn't happen.

it won't turn your phone into a Dinc, no, and froyo roms aren't the fastest around anyway. I would try a 2.1 rom with autokiller. even celb and gingerbread feel sluggish next to xtr.

How do i get to the 2d gallery?

There is a FAQ for Kaos and it tells how to get the 2d gallery there: https://github.com/punk-kaos/KaosFroyo/wiki/kaosfroyo-faq#camera

(Note: TiBu is Titanium Backup, which you may need to uninstall the existing 3D gallery app.) The rest of the FAQ is worth a read if you are having issues, however.

I was thinking about trying this rom [ROM] Eris Lightning 3.02 Overclock and Apps2sd 5/12/2010 - xda-developers. Do you have any experience with that one?

Eris Lightning is very old and has not been updated for a long time. If you really want to try a 2.1 Sense ROM, I suggest either xtrSENSE, PlainJaneT2 or xtrRCMix.
