speed up htc eris
 
Hello all I'm a first time Droid user and I have a question . I know the Eris isn't the fastest phone on the market but is there a way to make it faster and will "rooting" the phone make it faster ? If so how do I go about doing that ? I don't wana mess it up ....lol . Ive also heard that it can't support the new 2.2 Android OS . if I root the phone is there a rooted 2.2 I can install ? Thanks for reading . Don't judge I'm new @ this and looking for help lol ... thanks

Welcome. Yeah go ahead and root. I rooted and the first ROM I tried I'm still on and it's real stable and very speedy and the battery life is amazing. I can last all day using 3g, Location on, Gmail sync, and still text.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726467 <-xtrSense. It keeps most of the stock stuff but runs MUCH better.

xtrSense. It's the second link on my initial post in here. If you have any questions feel free. I won't laugh I promise because I actually had to look up how to get the ROM to flash because it was stuck in an endless boot animation and I freaked out.

Re: speed up htc eris
 
No problem I think ima try it tonight. Do I have to back anything up and how do I go about doing that . I downloaded both links lastnight and they r saved on my computer . Also when i do this what programs should I turn off. Like I said I know nothing. My friend got me into this stuff and it looks cool. U might know him ppcgeek .....lol so I thought I'd join ... just let me know thanks for all the help and maybe one I can help someone too.

Re: speed up htc eris
 
Basically you back up what you want to keep. Your SD card should be safe but you can back up your apps (or redownload them from Market after you reinstall). Your contacts will be on your Gmail too. It's pretty much just a matter of making sure you wipe good after you get rooted to install the new ROM.

Re: speed up htc eris
 
ok thanks ill do that then. so when i root it, then put the new rom on it it will b wiped clean right..... ( sorry for the questions) and as far as the things i should turn off is what ? or will the new rom do it for me? like i said sorry for the questions ima try in a couple of hrs so fingers crossed. hope it dont over heat......lol and if i wanted to get the factory rom back how would that be done? ( in case i sell it when i get a new phone in nov.)

No PC Needed!!

Step 1) download and install this apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/erisone010.apk - VERSION 0.1.0 to SD card. Backup your contacts with an App or something else.
Backup your SD card.
Step 2) Run the erisone010.apk, read disclaimer, press button

Step 3) Reboot, once rebooted your phone should have Amon's recovery. Yay.

Step 4) Use the Amon's recovery to flash rootme.zip that is now on your SDCard, or the custom rom of your choice. (To get into recovery turn off you phone and hold the Volume Up + Power until it boots into recovery.) Use the track ball and to select what you need to do and the volume down lets you go go back in the menu. This is what I do. 1.) a good nand backup. 2.) wipe,wipe#1, and wipe#2. 3). Flash Custom ROM. Partition SD Card to 0 swap and 512mb other and then 2 to three. 4). Reboot phone.


Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.
