Gimmick.... NO, not at all. The real improvement with beats is while listening through my bluetooth headset. Its a real noticeable improvement and worth while! That is the only thing holding me back from making this rom a daily at this point. I couldn't care less about a beats splashscreen, boot animation, or b icon....the sound improvement is phenomenal!
[HTC EVO 3D] xb1az3x:
So this might be a stupid question and I am not sure if it pertains to viperROM or the change to 2.3.4 but I cannot remove the sound from push gmail notifications. I had it set up in viperROM 1.3 so that it would place a notification in the notification bar and vibrate once without a notification sound. From what I remember it was completely painless but now no matter what I do I can not replicate this setup. Even when I have my phone on vibrate it is still making the notification sound, I have to turn off the notifications off in gmail completely. These notifications in android are really becoming a nuisance, there is no logic to how they work. Someone help me please!
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesthomas128:
Def a gimmick

Beats audio is definitely a gimmick. It's just a custom equalizer that they have 'optimized' for use with the Beats headphones. If you're not using the beats headphones it's a total gimmick. Even if you are you're better off not using an equalizer at all. People think that turning up the high treble and low bass means increased sound quality. Stupid. If your source material and speakers/amps are good you should never use an EQ.

If you want to impress your homies with more bass get better speakers. An a$$hole can only produce ****, no matter how much you polish and bleach it...
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Normally I don't get upset about ignorant posts like yours, but...

I don't know what the **** your problem is, but it's quite obvious you have no clue what you're talking about. High treble and low bass is not what the Beats post processor does, but it would take a more advanced knowledge of how sound output works to understand that.

Just as you can tune and calibrate an LCD display to work it's best, just as you can tune and optimize an Android ROM to work its best, you can tune and calibrate an equalizer to make audio sound its best. Software is a huge part of a device, it's not just its hardware.

I'm not one to really be fooled by placebo effects in electronics, so I actually did my research on what the Beats plugin does, and it's not a placebo effect.

So maybe when you hear the word "Beats" you get rather angry and judgmental, but the rest of us who actually know how equalizers work will just laugh at your stupidity.

EDIT: I should add that I don't and never will own a pair of Beats headphones, because it's unnecessary. With regular $30 earbuds, I can do the exact same thing and it sounds fantastic.
[HTC EVO 3D] jamesthomas128:
Not trying to stoke a fire but I'm not the only one who thinks this to be the case:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/22/htc-sensation-xe-with-beats-audio-we-go-ears-on-video/

EQ's can be great to account for room accoustics. However, in headphones people use them to turn up the bass and unfortunately 3mm drivers don't produce at 30Hz.

I design speakers and deal with this crap all of the time. Good speakers have a nearly flat response and need little tweaking.

But to each his own. If you like the sound the Beats EQ gives you then great. I'm not judging. Just saying you can do the same or better with DSP Manager or something of the like.

EDIT: If you want to use an EQ with your headphones here is a tutorial: http://www.head-fi.org/t/413900/how-to-equalize-your-headphones-a-tutorial Just remember that turning up the LF can damage your headphones. And FYI, the beats EQ does not use this kind of analysis to tune your headphones. This is the proper way to do it, and it is unique to each individuals ears.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Yes, excessive bass is a bad thing, and does not equate "good" audio. Using the DSP Manager is long and tedious, and the beats post processing is just a generally agreeable preset that is far easier to "set and forget" than to slave over a multi-slider EQ that ultimately does not work as well (this is my experience, ever since the first build of CM that I used on the Hero with DSP Manager).

To call it a "gimmick" though is purely ignorant.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigupurself7:
Ive used both wifi tether and unlocked sprint hotspot, I have to say that sprint hotspot seems to be a lot more reliable. Anyone else experience this? Anyway to get sprinthotspot back to being unlocked?
[HTC EVO 3D] mykeldrip:
Only issue I have is when receiving phone calls the screen does not wake up. I can't answer or see who's calling
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
DSPManager is pretty customizable, it may not be Beats, but I like it. I'm not sure about the Beats stuff. Lemme see if I can squeeze that in before Final.

You made sure to set it per gmail account, right? Anyone else with this issue?

The hack enables the phone to think that any headset plugged in is a set of Beats.

I will have it back in and unlocked in next build :) I hope to have it out tonight.

This doesn't happen to me and I haven't seen anyone else report it. Did you mess with settings in virtuous_oc? Do you have problems waking the phone up at other times?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Isn't beats just high bass but lower sound?

#SWAG!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
mo bass mo good
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Can it be ported to aosp?

#SWAG!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
do you have 2way call record? I had this issue with the rvoix app, messed with the settings a bit (set all to manual in call record) and no more issues :)
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
The current MIUI build already has it.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Oh nice. Im so lazy to flash though. I love cm7.

#SWAG!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] vanjangles:
I have mine set to sleep at 15 minutes and don't have any problems. Once you wake the screen you do have to wait for a few seconds for the wifi to cut back on which I don't think is a big deal. How long did you wait to see if it came back on before trying to surf?
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Well, the benefit to this is that if won't turn wifi off and switch over to 3G and start eating your battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] itsallsubliminal:
Hey, atleast it made it ON the list! :D You da man, keep up the great work.
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
This rom is brilliant Viper. No joke on the battery life with the screen off underclock. The integration of the OC Daemon is perfect. Cheers and looking forward to keeping this one active :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jthein1989:
Hey viper, heads up. When you run the script, its shows you all available frequencies. It shows the max as 1728000,when the correct max is 1782000...
[HTC EVO 3D] ecko210:
hey VIPER ... u able to do any digging on the phone.apk ?? i hope that helped cuz i think you would like the animation.lol
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
It is pulling that info directly from the kernel. If it says 1728000, then that is how it's set in ther kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Kinda hard to do while I'm at work on a computer that barely runs IE lol
[HTC EVO 3D] :
May I ask What script are you referring too?
[HTC EVO 3D] jabrake88:
I wait till it comes back up and shows me connected, the issue though is that when it does that it doesn't work, just acts like I have no data (wifi, 3g, or 4g) till I disable the wifi then re-enable it again.
[HTC EVO 3D] ecko210:
IE!!! YIKKES good luck..lol
[HTC EVO 3D] motoelliot:
Wow viper! This ROM is fantastic! Great work... Like that you keep us all updated with what your up to. Thanks!

I really like the AOSP Status Bar Feel from Supra ROM, with RC1.3 having AOSP apps is there a way to flash the AOSP Status bar onto the rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] jthein1989:
Ok, I'll let the dev know...
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
Since we're talking about Roms here, what's involved in making a 2.3.4? Is that a huge deal?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
2.3.4 isn't really much of an update. The only big thing coming from it is the Google Video and talk I think.. Ehh someone correct me haha
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
I thought it also had some sort of data encryption? It also turned signal and 3g status green when connected to Google and white when it wasn't. IDK, I had it on my AOSP Hero
[HTC EVO 3D] :
That's native for gingerbread already. The color changing icons.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
No problem, I think that is an important thing when you develop. But that's just me ;)

It's done in framework-res.apk. I'm hoping Vinchenzop will tackle that for me while I get some other ROM related stuff done :D

I would need a Sense ROM running that, which at this point, would be a port. And I don't want to get into that for multiple reasons - stability, usability, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMike1:
I am having problem with the cpu script. I froze SetCPU and rebooted. I ran the cpu script and changed my Max Awake Freq to 1512000. I then checked via cat /../scaling_max_freq and it still shows the default 1188000. I am running viperrom with Netarchy Silverneedle.

Ok guys, apps are optimizing. This will take a few hours but once that is done, I forgot to make changes to a couple apps so I need to do that and then I hope to have another test build out tonight/early morning. This test build could end up being the final, I just need to make sure all the little bugs are ironed out before calling it a final. You guys know we like our work stable :)

List of stuff left to do (all should make the test build):

revert HTCCamera.apk to stock + panorama & scenes

Custom Lock Ring

Screen Calibration

lcd density in build.prop editor

tweaks editor for vC (21viperrom)

transparent or tinted lockscreen bar

Beats audio
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
thanks for including beats! i'll be on this for sure!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I warn you, I don't intend to add it into the whole framework, only the HTCMusic.apk, and actually, it's already there. "Beats audio" should really say HTCMusic.apk enhancements, my mistake. You wanted it in the whole framework like Eternity, right? I just fear that it might make it unstable since it's a new thing and it's a modification to the framework.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
So if its in the framework, I can use it with PowerAmp?

#SWAG!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
You have been working like crazy. Thanks for letting us all test for you.

Is this going to have an update like the last one or will we need to wipe and flash?
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I hope the custom Lock Ring will be more subtle than Eternity's?
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
LS what's good man?...so whata u mean by subtle?....sorry I'm illiterate lol.....u mean not as flashy?.....if so, I totally agree.:..I'm using the one that Duble put out....black on the inside with blue outline....nice and clean and not too bright if u wanna say....just perfect in my mind...
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
Oh no, that's quit ok. Just in the music because it works with bluetooth this way. When included in the entire framework, it does not work over bluetooth for some reason. This is perfect! Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
It should be, hi LS

Oh, and I'll be adding duble08's link to my mods post so people can get quick access (thanks for saying something Jon, you just reminded me lol)

EDIT: Duble08's link to his post containing his lockring mods and installing instructions, has now been added under the "themes and mods made by viperROM users" section of my mods post
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Yea, I reworked the Htcmusis.apk so it's in just that

you've got a pm
[HTC EVO 3D] jerofld:
Is there a way of making this a flashable mod in the future? I'm a heavy Pandora / Google Music Beta listener and often disable HTCmusic. But stability is paramount.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
In theory, I think so. But I don't intend to do that, unfortunately.

Because all the apps are being optimized, it is going to be a full wipe. Sorry, I know that can be a pain when running test builds.

What do you think? I like that alot, personally. I think I'm going to make the bar darker or transparent, not sure yet. And it has been suggested to move "Redline" to the bottom of the lock ring. Your thoughts, LS?

Don't worry, Beats won't be in the framework, only in HTCMusic.apk which you can ditch if you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
The whole point was that he was wondering if there would be a flashable mod that would make beats system-wide since he doesn't use Htcmusic. And to answer that question, not at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] jerofld:
Cool. I didn't expect it to be anywhere close to a top priority. I would just like to add it to the wishlist :) Thanks

Edit: I forgot that's what the google code page was for. Adding the suggestion there now.
[HTC EVO 3D] cjdalessio:
It looks like there may be a missing status-bar graphic: icon (?) or something - I'd guess if it's a separate graphic to give the rounded corner look, that may be all it is. At any rate, this morning while demoing a project I'm working on to someone, I noticed that after opening the browser (stock) the top left corner had a chunk missing from the statusbar and you saw whatever was below it.

Of course, as I was in the middle of a demo I did not pause to grab a screenshot and I am now unable to reproduce the issue. :)

This is not at all critical, just an odd glitch that may sometimes show up.
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Vb, Idk whats going on but Test 3 is not flashing for me...Gonna keep trying.
[HTC EVO 3D] aramova:
I'm not so sure about moving from the stock lock ring. there is too much bling on alot of themes as it is. At least provide a flashable zip to return it to stock.

I mean, good god...
[HTC EVO 3D] midna:
First off, I love the rom! Great work!!!

I'm trying rc2 test 3 and I have a couple questions. Sorry if these have been covered before but I'm a huge noob :o.

1) Is there a way to get the recent app list back in the pull down drawer? I tried the theme on post 4 but it also customized a bunch of other stuff (icons) that I didn't want.

2) The other option is removing the "viperROM RC2 Test3" text on the lock screen.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Good boy!

I will blame Vin for this since he has been doing the majority of the theming work on viperROM but I have not seen this happen so I'm not sure what's up.

What error are you getting? If you're using TWRP, just reboot into recovery again and try flashing. It definitely works, but tell me the error you're getting.

Ewwwwwwwww! Did you see the one I wanted to include? It's pretty clean, just black and says "viperROM Redline" in the same Segoe font. Just a nice touch, I think.
[HTC EVO 3D] I_Am_Lorde:
I've noticed this too, but mine just lags
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I believe Vin has a theme for "back to stock" with the recent apps list. I really hate it cause you can access the same thing by pressing and holding the home button. Vin will chime in, I'm sure.

To change that, the file is in /system/customize/lock_carrier.txt but in the next (and hopefully last test build) I am going to put in an option in viperControl to allow you to change that easily.

Did you adjust virtuous_oc? If not, try bumping it up 1 freq from where it is at now from viperControl and see if that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevinrocksman:
found a bug

small bug, for some reason everytime i start my phone it auto-sync's even though auto sync is off... im on RC2 Test3
[HTC EVO 3D] midna:
Thanks for the quick response!!! I'll look for the theme and modify the carrier :). Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I think even though auto-sync is off, the phone still does some syncing activities when it boots.

Yup :)

[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
Man I'm glad I'm just chilling in the side lines with o trusty 1.3 bc I don't wanna have to keep flashing left and right plus it allowed me to see what's been going on and if there's problems or not. But I did read about two different people talking about the notification bar being cut off in the top left corner. But I can't want for u to make that stock lock ring zip to flash threw recovery so I can try and edit some lock rings myself and see how it looks. But I think.u hit the hammer on the nail this time around. Good turn out yalls so thanks V&V for the love of ur community and supplying this wonderful rom. But ill flash when the finals out. But I'm still here haven't gone ne where and haven't thought about the sgs2 in a while either lol. But I can't wait to see this metamorph feature. Well hmm what else to say???
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
O yeah what's this eternity thingy. Is it like the runny bliss this or what. And do u plan on trying to update sense to either one of the hopefully runny but yeah ok
[HTC EVO 3D] makmoneynslp:
Just wanted to post this before i go to work using chainfire and neocore benchmark
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
I think maybe the screenshot I posted yesterday?
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
I tried to help u lol bc I commented on u and someone else that had the same problem as u with the top left corner having a chunk missing but he didn't say ne thing yet lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I've seen the screenshots that have been posted on this matter, but I have yet to have the same issue, nor been able to replicate it. The only thing that I could think that is causing this is an app that people are running that puts a (notification) icon on the top left of the status bar (things like outlook mobile security, wifi tether, etc do this, besides just standard system apps). Maybe the few people that have experienced this issue can find a common app that they use frequently to maybe help me with finding a solution for them

So you're wanting just the stock pulldown bar with the recent app list back?

You're welcome. I could of sworn that we'd had this before, because I know I'd used it to tether to my HP touchpad when following my fantasy football at work. Maybe we had it in rc 1.3 and I hadn't used it since we updated

Can someone please recommend overclock settings. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
@viper, ive made the lock ring zip but it doesnt install as easily as its supposed to and the guy that made the kit said its probably due to the ext4 tweaks...

if i just flash it after clearing the caches i get a lockscreen without a ring at all, i have to reflash the rom in order for it to work...

any ideas on how to fix it?

im gonna try to learn metamorphing and see if i can do it thorough there
[HTC EVO 3D] kevinrocksman:

Bug Fixes: (EVO 3D only)

battery percentage now displays correctly

capacitive buttons

charging while in recovery

Til whatever your phone is stable. Most likely in the low 1.7ghz range. You'll likely get a freeze on 1.8ghz.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
It's got nothing to do with the ext4 tweaks. I have been making them and using the lock ring kit and its been making the flashable zip just fine. I'm not too sure what to tell you man.

Try bumping your voltage up by 25mv in vipermod and saving changes.

Thanks for adding that! I didn't get home and get everything posted until 3am, was gonna throw you the link today. But you're on top of it! Hopefully the metamorph mods are working out!

Thanks Jon, just updated mine. I don't spend alot of time in recovery, but the fact that when i was there, I had no idea what % my battery currently was kinda irritated me. So I updated solely for that lol
[HTC EVO 3D] duble08:
I've had issues using the lockring kit zip too. That kit swaps out some files that are unnecessary to just get a working ring, which I think might affect certain setups differently. When I did get the lockring zip to work, it only changed the main ring. When you drag a shortcut to it, it looked like the stock ring.

With MetaMorph on my mods, all it swaps is the m10 files that hold the ring image, not the whole thing. My rings work for the shortcuts too. If you want to send me the zip you created for your lockring with the kit, I can modify it to a metamorph zip for you and you can flash it that way, if you want to try it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
yeah i know, thats one of my favorite updates in this version....im always in recovery LOL....i became sort of an ultimate tester LOL...so guys, i know ive asked this before in a different way i think...but the EXT4.....is the definition of it basically a WIPING of system data?....i did some searching on the NET and seriously couldnt find any good info...surprisingly...id appreciate a quick brush up on what it is?...TIA guys

Ok. More info on the top left statusbar quirk. I'm on the train and let my mind fully play it back. :)

Stock browser. No apps that use the statusbar except stock.

The browser was launched by another app in overlay mode (hides the statusbar)

A notification was triggered. Bar flashed but I was scrolling so browser immediately back over, then moved out of fullscreen mode. All but the top left rounded corner part popped above the browser navigation bar. No notification icons ever fill that space.

Going to try to reproduce.
