Have been reading a few articles about 2.2 today.
any word as to a ROM for the eris?
I don't think anyone has even seen a features list yet for froyo..
Yeah, nobody HAS Froyo yet. Its hard to port something that doesn't exist yet
I had to post this because the only to working roms are the Gingerbread ones and thats it. Did all the developers stop working on their roms and moved on? or can we expect updates on their exsisting roms?
There are some really good roms out there and it seems as though the Eris is coming to an end.
Hmmm the only two working roms are the Gingerbread ones? I beg to differ....
It seems like most of the froyo roms have been updated around mid-late January.. I didn't know a few weeks was the end of our eris' lives! Your right though, in the sense that CM7 is now the new popular choice, and subsequently the most updated/talked about roms. Also alot of our devs have moved on to different phones and only drop by occasionally here to maintain their work and lend an expert hand

xtrROM was just updated to version 5 a couple of weeks ago. CELB gets updated every few weeks. My guess is that Workshed and Tazz are concentrating on GB rather than Froyo these days, though I think Tazz is still working on the Froyo Sense build.
I think that Froyo has matured, obviously Eclair has as well, and obviously Gingerbread is getting a lot of attention right now.
Tazz is still updating his Froyo rom's, workshed is still updating his Froshedyo build, punk.kaos is still updating his froyo build as well as his GB build. New themes and complete theme roms are being built for cm7 AND cm6 constantly. Just gotta check the forums frequently and watch for updates. There's actually quite a bit of action going on in the Eris forums now a days, on the CM6 side as well as CM7. Also I am about to have a CM6 rom in the works.
Tazz and Workshed are perfecting their CM7 roms at the moment but are still dedicated to their CM6 roms too. There are some amazing devs here at the Eris forums that are working hard through sickness and all kinds of personal issues to give the people what they want. The 1st post is kind of like an insult to their work. Don't give up on them, they just have a lot on their plate right now.
Oh no don't get me wrong, I love my Eris. I do like the new GB roms its basically the same style and it makes it confusing which one to load on the phone. Zenexp, Energyexpress, tenzoRCmix those roms I wish were updated too. Especially those roms with apps2sd which makes it better for the Eris being that the Eris doesn't have lots of space.
But I understand these Dev's working hard to ensure that our phone become part of the whats new in the market on other phones. I commend their hard work.
just fyi both the gingerbread roms now have app2sd and cache2cache working. also, tazz had commented recently in his gingerbread thread about working on the camera for froyo sense.
Any of the 2.1 roms have been taken as far as they can go.
The 2.2 ROMs are almost 100% perfect... so no reason to update.
2.3 ROMs make the most sense.

OR... you could take those ol 2.1 roms and with the permission of their respected devs, and work on them yourself. Use the android kitchen to change some stuff n tweak it around. Then maybe YOU sir can update them for US!

He doesn't seem to be. KF last update was two months ago, and his GB ROM hasn't been updated since Jan 10. I'm not complaining about it at all, but he seems to be spending a lot of time working on his Fascinate ROMs right now.
I think Conap, Workshed, Tazz, Tenzo, and Zach.xtr are the developers most actively working on Eris ROMs right now.
Not so fast, Ranger Rick! They're developing on MANY levels. The Eris is still a big deal, okay? Okay
And now there is another new dev on here..... ME ! Put up my 2.2 rom a few days ago !

Started working on a CM7 build yesterday as well and should have it done by the end of the week hopefully !!!!
Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't mean to sound like a jack, but you're right about the roms. I would love to create my own or better yet take a rom and change to my liking. But don't know how. These roms you guys make are awesome but its like I always want more and always love new updates or new roms.
I'm good with PSCS4 but not coding or even trying to create a rom. I would love to learn and create my own or mod someone elses rom. How?
I think that first learning app creation might be a good place to start, get the basics of programming down. Then try to go deeper with a ROM. Idk, maybe that's just my own idea. I personally am kind of in the process od learning Java coding to make apps and have a few ideas for apps. The developer of one of my favorite apps called Ethereal Dialpad is helping me learn. He suggested Processing. Seems easy enough.

Check out this post bro, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756775
As long as you follow it step by step and don't do anything wrong it's actually kind of easy. Once I got everything installed and running it took me about 2 days to get my own 2.2 rom up and working (very fast and stable if I might add lol) which is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963722
Now I'm working on a CM7 GingerBread rom for the Eris which will hopefully be done by the end of this week. Main thing you need to do is download the Oracle Virtual Machine and install Ubuntu on it. That first link I posted tells you how to do everything ! Try it out man, gotta start somewhere ! If you need any help with making yours, just let me know and I'll help to the best of my abilities !
Great news!

this is great news and I am glad to read this! My Eris was my first Android phone and I am glad to see it is still being developed for! yeah!
The Eris is still alive according to Droid Life's article. We might get an OTA update. AWESOME. I still love my phone and love creating icons and putting ideas on it. Its just that every other phone is getting more attention and the Eris is in the back burner.
I'm still keeping mine.
The update is confirmed and people are already getting it. Justrelaxing on the Android Central forums has already got the update along with a few others. Here's the page, go to post #27

Greetings,
Does anyone have a stable Honeycomb Port that will work on Verizon's Samsung Fascinate? My Fascinate buttons failed on me and really would like to use the phone until the DROID Bionic launches. Any help is appreciated!

Gingerbread isn't even fully working on our phones yet, how would we have Honeycomb?

Hey if u want it so bad, why dont u donate some money to developers eh?
You are just another person who uses it FOR FREE w/o any support.
Being that said, Currently Kaos is working on making stable Gingerbread.
Not even eb01/eb16 is not complete.
So it might take a while for kaos.
Plz do support developers by donating some money.

Just because I am new to the forum, does not make me a troll. But thanks for the vote of confidence. If there was someone working on what I was looking for, I would gladly contribute to their efforts.
The current version of Honeycomb isn't designed to run on a phone. Even if someone was working on it, it would take an awful lot of work to get anything functional.
Thanks Kevin for your intelligent post.
First off, I am extremely sorry if this question has been asked before regarding the Thunderbolt. I searched these forums for a good hour and couldn't find anything related to the subject.
I was just curious now that HTC has released the source kernal, are there any developers out there planning on porting stock, vanilla Froyo or Gingerbread to the Thunderbolt? If so, let us know in this thread!
Maybe we can make this a hub for all related Vanilla Android TBolt activity.
Thanks in advance.

CM is working on a 2.3 rom and their roms are pretty stock android
I don't think I've heard of any pure vanilla AOSP ROMs but, for example, CM7 based on Gingerbread. No sense mess. I figure that's what you're after.
EDIT:ckochinsky125 beat me by a minute....
does anyone think/know if there will ever be a Cognition build for the atrix? I saw some posts out there that made me think there will? what do you guys think?
maybe, I haven't heard anything of it yet though. I guess it would just require the Dev to start developing for the atrix

designgears has deved for the atrix in the past although haven't heard from him lately around the atrix other than him being a contributor on the cm7 efforts. I believe he was close to a cog beta for the atrix from what I remember, but not sure what happened to that.
