I have rooted, and now am trying to to the froyo portion, but when I connect my phone via the usb port on my computer, the computer does not do anything. My light on my eris comes on like it's charging, and I changed the connection options to the 'htc sense' so my computer will recognize it. Is there something else that I need to be doing??

the usb cable that is in the bottom of the phone is very sensitive to movements...set it on a super flat surface...it WILL work...dont give up...i put the froyo/ cyanogenicMOD on my Eris...it is so damn good...a completely different phone now! amazzzzzzzing

You have to go through recovery mode to find it. the same steps you took to root your phone is the same steps you take to flash Froyo. I hope that helps.
So far, KaosFroyo works great. Once in a while, after viewing a video, when I go back to the gallery, I get a weird interlace effect. However, switching the orientation sets it right again. Lovin' my phone. I'm considering not bothering with my phone upgrade. Eris is doin' me just fine now.

ok as a newbie to all of this...I do notice the lag time in performance of this phone. Would this be recommended for me to try and do or should i just deal with it and live with the phone the way it is. Any advice?

I DID IT!!! WOW I was freaking out, but I did it!!! Now just gotta get everything back to where i had it on my home screen, then YAY!

I thought that Angry Birds wouldn't render properly because of the Foyo, but trying to download it from GetJar revealed that it isn't really compatible with Eris. That sucks. Still playable though.
