Rooted and running KaosFroyo v30, couldn't be happier. Silky smooth and much better battery life.

Before I rooted, I was ready to throw it across the room.

If you invoke the Gallery app, and turn the device to landscape as the photos are loading, what happens?

What happens if you wait for them to load in portrait, and when it's finished, then turn it to landscape?

I'm seeing reports of different behaviors in 2.2 ROMs with regard to the Gallery and camera.

One other thing, if you are in Gallery and press the camera icon at the top right, what happens?

These, of course, are all known issues with the 3D Gallery app, I believe all very fixable by removing it and replacing it with the 2D Gallery app.

These issues were not present in Nonsensikal 4.6, which I was testing all day yesterday.

I'm wondering if it's being addressed by the devs, as I see no notes about it at their pages.

Sorry - I guess that I should have said that it's a known issue on kaos froyo, but I have seen it has also been reported on other ROMs.

See the kaos froyo faq: KaosFroyo FAQ - KaosFroyo - GitHub

And the list of open issues in github: Issues - punk-kaos/KaosFroyo - GitHub

(Notably, Issues - punk-kaos/KaosFroyo - GitHub )
 
Running Kaos Froyo V31 overclocked to 768. I do a weekly clean up of cache, call log and messages. This thing is no Incredible or Droid 2 but as far as general os snappiness and smoothness goes it will hang with my buddy's stock droid all day. I actually love this phone now.
 
I've switched to launcher pro, handcent, dialer one, ect. and have noticed a lot less lag. I might be jumping to root soon, but this is definitely an improvement.

The 3D gallery messes up in landscape mode, whether you do it immediately or after the portraits load.

If I press the camera icon, it goes to the camera.

As doogald posted above, it's a known issue, but so far it's the only one I've run across with this version of the ROM. I haven't updated to v31 because I've heard there are camera issues, but v30 is running nicely. :)
 
In my experience, the Android platform isn't great for people who just "aren't technical." I'm not saying that you need to be "overly" technical, but for people with no clue at all, this platform puts them all at a serious learning curve. I have several friends with the Eris and all of them HATE their phones. I'm the only one who likes it. No one realizes that they should be clearing their cache, or deleting old SMS, or clearing their call log, or keeping their contacts on Google and not the Phone. Most of my friends don't even realize that widgets are something they can use. Their screens are a catastrophe to look upon!

Having said that, if you understand just a little bit technically, this is a GREAT phone if you're looking for a small form factor (I am--I hate big honkin phones in my pocket!). As far as Android on Verizon is concerned, it's always been the lowest level of Android from the start. Of course you'll like the D2 or DX of DINC better. But hey, imagine what you'll have to look forward to in the future.

My hope is that when my New Every 2 is available (next November), that we'll have a great Gingerbread or Honeycomb phone out that's still relatively tiny in my pocket.
 
Just Rooted this week and it's made a huge difference in the phone. I've flashed xtr 4.0.6.1 and really like it a lot. Can't believe how fast it is! The biggest thing for me now is getting used to NOT having Sense :D I'm liking LP though.

I'm running Nonsensikal, coming from Kaos31. Nonsensikal does NOT come with the 3D gallery, therefore it would not come with the 3D gallery bug.

The 3D gallery bug is getting better. When I was on Kaos (yesterday) it acted fine one time, tried to show an image to a coworker and it freaked out. So, it's intermittent now...

3D Gallery is present in the Nonsensikal 4.6 on my device and it functions normally every time I use it.

The last time I had the distorted scree image issues in Gallery was on Kaos v24.
 
I love my Eris when it is working smoothly but lately it acts as if it is a PC and LAGS!!! Doesn't matter if I delete apps or mess with settings... it runs as if I have a ton of porn or something on it (which I don't so don't make the joke). It seems to need a defrag or something :(
 
I love my Eris now, rooted and flashed KaosFroyo v34 last week. OC'd to 768 with no problems. Running launcher pro, flashed the new CFS kernel v4. Running smoother then every. Battery life is also much better now. I never had real problems with my phone before, just a few FC's and was terribly slow. I felt ashamed of my phone when I was trying to download the same document as my friend was on his incredible at the same time. He was done, before I even got to the website.

I do have the 3d camera bug from time to time. I think it is intermittent. If I hit the camera button in the corner the camera opens but I get stuck in camera. the only way out is a battery pull. Luckily, I dont use the camera on my phone too much.
 
Recently rooted and running Nonsensikal and like practically everyone else it runs better now. I had a slight problem with the messaging app, but wiping the data cleared that up. It did not come with the 3D gallery but I installed it from the market.
