Am I missing something in this ROM. I cannot for the life of me find where I can turn the vibrate off on the keyboard when I type.

Podivin · Nov 10, 2010

It should be something like menu > settings > keyboard > (select keyboard type)
then under there you should find a check box to turn on/off vibrate on key press.

Lucidot · Nov 10, 2010

I went into Settings/Language & Keyboard/Multi-touch keyboard/ and uncheck "Vibrate on keypress" and the damn thing still vibrates when I type a text. I am using Handcent SMS but I don't think it is the problem.

EDIT: Just tried it in the native messaging app and get the same results

Okay, I flashed the CFSv6 (after performing a backup) and then rebooted. Now when I try to move an app to the sd card, I get the following error message: "Failed to Move Application" again. On one attempt, it said there was not enough storage space. I have 5GB left on my sd and 108MB left in internal memory. I'm not sure why my phone is doing this weird thing.

UPDATE: Ended up installing Move2SD app. Apps moved over pretty smoothly with that. The only one that didn't, Barcode Scanner, kept popping up a msg: Failed to Move Application. There is not enough storage space. Which is not true. Read on a forum to uninstall the app. Change the local installs to External on CyanogenMod Settings. Did that. Reinstalled the app. It didn't install in SD. Moved it to SD Card via the Move2SD app and it moved over w/o issue. Since installing the CFSv6 kernel, phone seems faster and stock camera seems okay.

Hmm, I'm having the same app problem, but Move2SD did not work nor did flashing CFSv8. I am currently on v35-1, and I tried v38 then v37 and had the same problem with both. I'm hoping someone will have a little more instruction. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I found it finally.

Goto: Menu/Settings/Language & keyboard/HTC_IME mod/Text input and there is a setting for "Vibrate when typing" that is the 3rd from the bottom.

Thank God. That was driving me nuts.

Well letting it sit for a while ended up working, I need to stop being so impatient!

DarkStar83 · Nov 11, 2010

This is the first time I will be rooting/updating my Eris and I have no instructions to follow so could somebody give me a link to a video or webpage with posted instructions? I downloaded Kaos' version 38. Thanks!

dont open the zip file. keep it on the SD card. boot into recovery and access it from there.

DarkStar83 · Nov 11, 2010

ok first attempt failed, I guess, because I put the zip file in the wrong place so it didn't use that zip file it used a root me.zip file I had there, so I deleted the root me.zip file. Is the SD card the actual drive my computer is seeing?

DarkStar83 · Nov 11, 2010

got it to work now...I guess it was seeing the rootme file first or something but I just booted into recovery and its going through the process now. Thanks rick for the help!

now I just have a black screen with "andriod" in gray and a white glare bar going from left to right. It's been like this for a few minutes now. Did something not work right or is this supposed to happen?

It takes several minutes for a newly flashed ROM to start up; this is normal.

Good instructions for flashing a ROM, by the way, are here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/127861-universal-eris-root-dummies.html#post1186824

It worked and so far its pretty sweet. writing text messages kinda messes up though, I'll press the space bar and it will register two clicks and add a period, but other than that it runs pretty smooth. Thanks for the help guys!

Right now the only issue im having is camera it forces close every time i try to use it.

What exactly is HTC Sense? Is it just another launcher? What are it's advantages over ADW launcher? How do I install it.

HTC sense is the skin that goes over android. its how the eris looks stock.

buschbarber · Nov 11, 2010

Is there any advantage to using it over what comes with V38? If there is, how is it installed?

you cant install it. you would have to flash a rom that has sense built in. there are a couple of froyo sense roms, but they arent so stable yet.

can anyone tell me if this ROM allows picture messaging? and I'm hearing the camera issue is not any better yet?? I'm new and this is what was on my phone when I got it so I'm just trying to figure out if upgrading the V38 is worth it or just looking for another ROM that allows me to send pic messages and take decent pictures as well.

any ideas?

If MMS messages are important to you, I think that one of the 2.1 ROMs made from the HTC frameworks are the best bet. I'd strongly suggest xtrSENSE or xtrROM (depending on whether you want the Sense launcher; the former has it, the latter does not).

You can find them here: [ROM][GPL][11/5/2010] xtrSENSE4.6.5 [cache2cache,apps2sd,oc,jit,flash10]-HTC Sense - xda-developers and [ROM][GPL][11/5/2010] xtrROM4.6.5 [cache2cache,apps2sd,jit,lwp,oc,flash10] - xda-developers

I liked this but reverted back to 37. The camera always FC the Gallery was glitchy and killed the battery in a few hours. I miss the power control in the status bar tho =/
