So does anyone know how to successfully run the new Fennec pre alpha on a non rooted Droid Eris on 2.1.?
no, but in the brief article I read it said you need a droid or nexus one
its not really possible, it has major force close issues.
I downloaded the apk and instaled it on 2.1 root and experinced fc after a few moments of running. It sucks...really want to try it out.
Running it on droid, its nothing to call home about.
with me being on aloysius 2.0v6, and all my apps instaled, I could not even make room to try and install a 10mb apk... it's actually the one and only true time i wanted apps2sd on the eris.
are you all using this build? http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/firefox-now-available-for-android-2-0-and-above-still-at-pre-al/ it seems like the newest one out there.
Yay I'm running non-rooted Droid Eris 2.1 leakv3 and the latest pre-alpha just runs for a second and then crashes every time I run it, any fixes?

Wait, your saying Opera, of all the browsers is good? That's by far the worst mobile browser available!!!! Not saying Fennec will be better.........Maybe I just need to get used to Opera, but that's just my opinion..

Whats wrong with it? It loads incredibly fast, has a nice UI, offers a nice homepage launcher, etc. I think it's a hell of a browser, from what I understand they load most of the page on their end and send the finished product to you. The only complaint i have is lack of multitouch but that is in no way a deal breaker.
If you don't believe the speed difference a/b between the stock browser and opera with androidcentral.com
Last time I used opera, it was just too clunky and navigating through the menus was a big pain. Im currently using skyfire 2.0 and it does the same thing with loading the page through its servers first to take the load off the phone. It hd some really nice features as well. I highly suggest everyone try it. There was a good tutorial on phandroid.com about all the features. Check it out

Just downloaded on a whim after reading the article on engadget. Seems pretty decent so far, I'll try it out for the next week and see what I think.

Cool, I think its pretty neat.
Using Skyfire as well..it is way better than Dolphin,stock, Xscope and Opera. It is fast and somehow it remembers your bookmarks. Got real tired of saving bookmarks/favorites and losing them when you installed a new OS
My launcher keeps freezing up. Have to force stop it from the apps menu. Any help?

Not that I know of, have you also tried clearing its cache? Maybe even go so far as to clear the cache and data? If neither of those helps, then something's been tweaked or corrupted in your system; at which point a factory reset/manual update would do the trick I imagine. Be sure to back up all your apps and important information off the internal SD card if it comes to that though.
*EDIT:
Just noticed in your signature that you're unlocked and on a custom ROM. Have you tried a third-party launcher? Could it be an issue with the ROM itself?
Was kinda afraid of that. Its a stock blob in CWM wrapper. So it "shouldn't" be corruption but.... we all know how that goes. I've wiped cache etc and even reinstalled the launcher with root. Same issue develops after a few hours.
Tnx for your help. Which other custom rom would you recommend? I wanna stay mostly stock.

Haha, no clue, I haven't watched the dev thread as well as I should I haven't unlocked just yet due to the drop of warranty and lack of proper nvflash. I would do the same honestly, try and keep stock. Maybe just try an earlier version. I'll have a look at the dev section and see if anything pops out. Have you checked the md5 sums and everything, or just tried redownloading?

I've redownloaded 3 times. Everything else works nicely. I did test the motley kernel, however I've since reverted to stock kernel. And I've wiped and reinstalled after that when the launcher kept crashing. I might give virtuous a try if this continues.
Aye, seems to me as though the ROM just isn't handling the launcher well or has some kind of mem leak or something. Try out Virtuous Prime or Primalicious, they both seem pretty true to stock but Primalicious has less minimalist icons. And it is the stock launcher right?

actually. now both launchers i use crash in the same way.
all items disappear. however i can still swipe, and if i randomly tap things open that should be visible.
i use stock asus launcher. as well as GO launcher HD
it just seems that after awhile of either using or sitting the tablet, the launcher just fails. and it takes me frantically tapping it to bring up the "not responding" text.
otherwise i just go into settings/apps and kill it.
thanks for your help. im going to try out a couple different ROMs to see if it can solve this issue.
seems every device i have ends up with very weird unexplainable issues. and ive changed up everything from device to device (you know, scientific method and whatnot) and can not seem to isolate what causes these problems.

Welcome to electronics and programming Lol, really the most important thing is to start off strong and have a solid base to build from. We haven't though, we're still having to shuffle official updates to try and reach that point. Although I have faith in our dev's and they've worked toward fixing a lot of the issues already, it will only get better once true stock gets stable and the dev's get proper nvflash access. Until then I'm afraid things will be pretty sporadic. That's what we get for falling for all the hype on a brand new device.
*EDIT:
Also, have you set your I/O scheduler to something other than noop? Check out ATP Tweak in the dev sub-forum and see if that doesn't help.

yes, i am sadly very used to unstable builds on my devices. but, its always better than what the original manufacturers release.
and thats just the price to be paid for staying on the bleeding edge of this tech.
i am fairly experienced with the basics of flashing ROM's and beta testing, but i am faaaar from being a programmer/developer so i am not quite sure how to change the I/O scheduler anything past using pre-done scripts like the V8 Supercharger.
ill check out that tweak, thank you again for your help.
After listening to all good remarks, I finally got a hold of this tablet. This being a quad core tablet, I assumed it should be fast. But to my surprise, it was actually not a really great experience. Things lagged every now and then. And it seems to be even worse when browsing. I tried alternative browsers but they all seem to be the same. Even Chrome Beta!

As far as I am aware the IO scheduling is not really what it ought to be with the Prime, with regards to browser lag though, I have switched plugins to on-demand in the stock browser settings and that helps a bit.
Some beta testers of the soon to be released firmware are reporting major improvements across the board, so hopefully you won't have long to wait.
Which version of the ASUS firmware are you on? Just out of curiosity.
This is not a question though. If you are having lagging issues; you could try to do a cold reset. This may help out as it has with others. The browser on the other hand has been an ongoing issue. You can help this by installing adblock, use opera, turn flash to on demand, or use the browser2ram tweak here on xda. There should be an update to help also sooner or later.

Hmm.. thats weird... mine does not lagg at all, even if i have games running in background.
-Can you make a short video so i can see how laggy it is?
Can you tell me which firmware you are on? .21 is the latest. Else try to do a factory reset.
Or install AOKP ROM on your Prime which I did.
Hope that helped
The Chrome Beta is known to cause the browser lag. Even it just being installed and you're using a different browser.
Uninstall chrome beta. Uninstall flash and reinstall flash.
Try opera mobile. It's been the best for me so far. I definitely have no browser lag, but did when chrome was installed. Same on my gtablet running an ICS rom.

Yeah my bad. Gave the wrong title. Was supposed to ask how it was for you guys. I'm pretty sure what you said would probably improve the experience on the Prime but don't you think we shouldn't do anything by default? I tried doing cold resets but doesn't really seem to help.

Hmm, okay will try.
I have noticed occasional lag on my Prime from time to time most often while using the browser. Asus has indicated that it might be a problem with nV Flash and that it will be resolved in the next update. I guess we'll see. Really the occasional lag is my only complaint with the Prime, but it doesn't stop me from saying my experience is mostly positive.

Ok this seems to have worked for me (specifically turning on then off the "Don't keep activites" option in the developer options"). I was having a lagging all the time when switching between apps or browsing but this seems to have made a big difference.

Try AndroWook's ROM. The thing is fantastic; especially the newest version based on the TF300 JB base. It's slick as slick can be and takes the stuttering right out it.
I just got my phone and most of the time when receiving a email I'll pull down the menu and it keeps going back up automatically. After trying like 3 times it finally stays down. Does anyone else has this issue?
Not to insult your intelligence or anything but are you pulling the bar all the way down? When I was on GB if I didn't pull it all the way down it'd wonk out on me and shoot back up if I did it too fast.

I had the same issue on GB. I head to drag it almost all the way down to the bottom of the screen. Now on ICS I can just flick the bar downwards and it does the rest.

Yes I pull it all the way down like 3 times then if lucky it will stay down. After reading emails the pull down menu works fine.The work arounds I found is to put my finger at the top of screen and quickly flick downward then it will stay. With my old phone using it's default rom and Cyanogenmod 7, this never happend. The second work around is to use a small app called, One Click Status Bar. Place it on the home screen and when it's tapped the menu drops down.

Your phone must be rooted to have ICS. I'm debating on doing this because I like using CyanogenMod. One of the problems with rooted phones is that the market doesn't recognize the phone and paid apps disappear and it force closes alot.

I flash around a lot usually spending about a couple weeks on different Roms to test and compare features and I can say I never had a problem with Google play ever recognizing any of my paid apps.
The force closes on the other hand do happen, but very rarely if you run a good rom, and don't do anything you're not supposed to

When a phone is rooted the Google server no longer knows what device is being used. You can check this out by logging into Google wallet and look under your device list. You'll also notice that some apps show up for different os like with gingerbread and some don't for ics. After rooting the server doesn't know what apps work with the phone and at times makes some of your paid apps disappear and preventing potential future downloads.

Very true, I apologize. But you must realize that this site EXISTS for the simple idea that we, the members of it(evidently not all of them), do not want our phones stock.
The only support you'll get from a stock ROM, is from the at&t store.
and the "was not" was meant that way. I feel its a stronger form of the word rather than wasn't
This discussion got troublesome and way, way off topic.
But the bottom line is man, if you want to stay stock, there's really nothing we can do, other than advise to wipe data/factory reset via 3e recovery.
What you may have thought you knew about issues that come by rooting your phone, are maybe 1 in a 100, and most likely caused by the person themselves.
There are a few ROM's that are based on at&t "official" leaks. but there rooted.

I think you may be confusing some of your facts. That may hold true for some unbranded chinese tablets running ICS. Those ROMs have to operate as a brand name "something else" just to get market to recognize the device.
The same is not true with our phones. Root away! The issues you're concerned about do not exist on name brand android devices.
Seriously, im disappointed. I loved my phone before the update, but now..after getting the update, I hate it. I want it OFF my phone. It totally fd up this phone. Pinch zoom is incredibly SLOW and CHOPPY. It freezes and lags like a SOB. And facebook...forget it. I visited the full site constantly because the mobile site caused too many problems. It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Im sorry if I came off the wrong way, in a way certain parts are quite speedy...but others, like Facebook took a huge hit. I tried a few of my emulators. They seem to work. Nesoid even works despite what I have heard from others. But it seems to lag on frames. Like, the video frames will appear faster but it will skip many thus the motion is choppy instead of fluid. N64oid works faster. I guess thats a plus. I only tried Goldeneye. Typing seems more accurate, but this sollg and screen jumping business is making it very difficult to type..with what was once cake. It wont stay centered on your text. The text boxes in facebook nuke the cpu as soon as you click inside them. It wasnt bad at all before this. I have not tried maps, but since you asked, I might as well.

It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Unlike on locked down Motorola phones, it is perfectly possible to revert to gingerbread.
1. Unlock Bootloader with HTCDev
2. S-OFF with juopunutbear
3. Run Gingerbread RUU
4. You can stay S-OFF and Unlocked, or if you want to, S-ON and relock.

That's a Maps issue, the latest update broke it on the Rezound.

Sounds like the perfect time to unlock, root and install a custom ROM.

Right? I was on gb until like a month or two ago and I still prefer gb firmware over ica firmware. I have yet to try the latest radios but I still love the gb radios
I found Opera Mobile to work better. But damn...and yea, its either revert back or custom ROM. I still have not ever flashed before. Guess its one of those things I worry about because if reading a few horror stories of someones phone being bricked after flashing or phone radio not working.
I have seen people in here praising ICS left and right like it was the best update ever. I dont come in here often enough so maybe I missed the posts saying ICS is slow. I wonder if it is Sense 3.6 causing the slowdown?
Most things are the same probably butvsome stuff is def faster and hardware acceleration/gpu rendering makes everything completely smooth and not choppy like GB. Things will get better with some gud kernels when they release source

Do factory reset in Settings, storage.

ICS is working flawless and 10x faster than GB. Sounds like you should try to factory reset and try again or somethings wrong. Any there's NOTHING wrong with the kernel....I have no idea why people are saying this, CPU tuner only works for rooted rezounds that have perflock disabled. Try uninstalling it

Major update from gb to ics will cause problems if you don't wipe the phone.
But to each their own
