Most likely the Luis Castillo behind the Savaged Zen project (ROM/Kernel) for the Evo 4G. The Savaged Zen team does a great job! Glad to see the collabo'
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Btw viper, I feel bad for cheating on viperROM and testing some others but I can say yours is still fastest and most stable, good job bud. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Nah, I don't think so.

Yeah, you don't want 192/192, that is far too slow and the phone can't do things it might need to do with it off. Plus, it's better to have it scale up a little bit for a few seconds than constantly running at 192 because it has to.

Correct, that's who it was :) great guy, really helpful!!

It's ok haha you have choices, try stuff out. Of course I would love to have you on viperROM, but once you try some of the other ROMs, I suspect you may be back ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ksamani:
i am having a horrible time getting any decent amount of battery. i have decided to wipe everything (including sd.. making a backup of course ) just so i can start fresh and know that nothing is being conflicted. so before i do i need confirmation that the following that i will be doing is correct:

1. copy all contents from SD card to pc

2. reformat SD card

3. transfer all needed items (rom, themes, music, pic. etc)

4. boot into recovery (TWRP)

5. wipe data (factory reset)(2x)

6. wipe dalvik(2x)

7. wipe cache(2x)

8. format menu

9. format cache(2x)

10. format data(2x)

11. format system (2x)

12. install ROM

13. reboot and sign into all accounts. let it settle (approx. 10 min)

14. reboot into recovery

15. wipe cache and dalvik cache

16. flash viper control

17. flash any theme or mod

18. reboot.

is the above steps the correct way?
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
So if we are in recovery does it take the power and volume buttons input? I hope it isn't trying to install zip.choose zip.foder.folder.folder.no zip there lol. Or could we volume down the right number of times and reboot to system?

Or does it just not take in any input
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
dumb, i know ...

[HTC EVO 3D] TrofeoSC:
Hey Vin,

Would it be possible to make a completely clear theme so that the wallpaper could be seen through everything? I have a dark background so I guess white font would be better or maybe being able to switch from light to dark font. How about a blue overscroll?

I love the sprint lovers icons and your circle battery!

Thanks for all of your work!
[HTC EVO 3D] ksamani:
blue overscroll can be found in post 3.. i think... but i know its the first few posts
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Come on pop, all the other guys were doing it! ;p
[HTC EVO 3D] radioguinea:
Sounds good, the ROM is fantastic. And I love the sprint lovers theme, really nice so far :) Excited to see how else you tweak the theme.
[HTC EVO 3D] Khayos:
It works great on a 4G connection & my MacbookPro

[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Make sure to also charge to 100%, wipe battery stats, drain til it dies, and full charge. More info in 2nd post.

No, it doesn't do anything. I have no idea why the hell it does that.

Just more options, that's it :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
I created the fixed Wifi Tether version. I just wanted to point out that the fix was developed using an Evo3D running viperROM RC1.3.

Also the change I made was very minimal. This should be very safe for general use. Atleast on Evo 3Ds which is all it has been tested on so far but I imagine on all devices.
[HTC EVO 3D] jerichey:
Is anyone else using the app Roam Control? For some reason Roam Control does not seem to work with ViperROM. I can only get it to work with a Stock ROM. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] exhilaration:
Hi guys, after every reboot (usually after installing a zip from recovery) I have to manually start the OC daemon. See screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/NQWzz.jpg

I'm running the latest Silverneedle kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
Is there a way to incorporate an app like NueGPS into the ROM? I remember from my Windows Mobile days that was a pretty cool feature. If you ever lost your phone and someone did a hard reset you would still be able to find it because it was cooked into the rom.

Sent from the third dementia...
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Huh?

What happens?

Known issue right now with custom kernels. I have to get in touch with Netarchy about this, use the Stock kernel if it's giving you issues.

That would be as easy as putting an app in /system/app, but the problem is that if there was ever an update to the app, the update would fail. I would love to incorporate something like this, but I could see this being a major user annoyance having to download it, remove the one in /system, move the other one from /data to /system... see where I'm going with that?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
I think he is saying that he created the fix for wifi tether on viper rom 1.3
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
would someone be so kind as to post a screen capture

thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] exhilaration:
viperboy, but then I lose all the delicious power saving features of your awesome ROM because stock doesn't support over/underclock right?
[HTC EVO 3D] evo bryan:
love the rom cant wate to see what you do with it
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
If you're running any one of my themes, then you've got it bro...it adds "media" and "auto-brightness" sliders, etc
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Using a custom kernel that interferes with the viper control script takes away from the awesome of our Rom...
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Well, there is no power saving with overclocking ;) but the 19hrs I got in the 2nd post was on the stock kernel!
[HTC EVO 3D] duclet:
Well, I had to do it. I was so happy with your ROM but still was just too curious and had to try another one that seems to be popular among folks (won't name it since after all the developers did a lot and I don't want to take anything away from them). Your ROM simply blows the competition away in both performance (actual use not some dumb benchmarks) and battery savings.

Before I revert back, just a quick question, can you give a ballpark estimate of when RC2 will come out. If it is within a week, I rather hold off on reverting back to this awesome ROM and wait for it. But if it is going to be awhile, I got to (and I do mean this), revert back to this ROM now.

And for my stupidity for even trying to try out another ROM, I'm making you a donation right now (I'll PM you the details) so I'll have a vested interest in this ROM and won't wander away. Again, so sorry for doing such a stupid thing.

*Going to sit in a corner and feel stupid as I await your response*
[HTC EVO 3D] DeMiNe0:
Wow, this rom is amazing. I would *LOVE* it if you had a publically accessible svn for nightly's like synergy does. Any plans for that in the future?

Have you guys thought about partnering up with anyone to make a custom kernel optimized for viper rom? What do you think is the best one to use so far?

Oh ya, one last thing... Do you have a website for this rom planned? I can tell this rom is going to be *HUGE* in the Evo 3D community!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Dude, I don't know if you're serious or just goofing around but you're free to do whatever you'd like with your phone! I'd like to try some more ROMs just to get a better feel for it, but I don't have the time since I am always working on my ROM :)

My goal is to have it done by Monday but I may not be able to get it done that quickly as I still need to get the kernel configured to how I want and once that is done, building the ROM shouldn't take too long but the kernel could take some time depending on how it goes. And the automated optimizations being done for RC2 are STILL running (been over 3 days) if that tells you the amount of time and effort going into this.

I hope that answers your question :)
[HTC EVO 3D] whatsleft4her:
Hey viper just a suggestion, if people are getting anxious for the new release and you arent ready to release bc of the kernel. How about releasing the rom then when the kernel is ready make it an add on if that helps but i love your work and cant wait til the new release comes out im pumped
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
Hey vince think you can make a theme using the honeycomb circle battery from theme in 3rd post and the rest of the icons from Sprint lovers with 1x/3g icons and no recent apps with extended menu? Pretty pretty please... :)

[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I don't have the kind of time to be putting out nightlies and I've never used it, but do they even change alot of stuff on a nightly basis?

Yes, I am working on a kernel and it will be bundled into the next release. Stock is the most reliable right now because some custom kernels break the init.d support and then the OC daemon doesn't start upon boot anymore.

I have a small subdomain setup that Cayniarb has gratiously provided me for my viperMOD stuff. I could setup a page for the ROM, I just really haven;t had time as that isn't on the top of my list of things to do. I wouldn't want a forum website for the ROM, too much to manage and XDA is a fine place for it anyway.

No, for the next release I want to have this all built into one. Sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
VIPER...seroiusly Bro......take as much damn time as u like....honestly....it seems as if this is one of the big reasons why alot of DEvs have left XDA to begin with, cause of the user complaining and what not (just by what ive heard lately)......dood ive been rocking this ROM since release (not to say i havent tried others either)...but i think i can speak for most of us when i say, things are great the way it is now.....i can undestand how frustrating it may seem when ur waiting for a particular FEATURE and yur sitting there wondering "when is this new UPDATE gonna be realsed....JEEZ"......cause i'd be lieing if i said i didnt say things liek that to myself.....but seriously, dont rush anything man....think back to when VIRUS was working on SENSE 3.0 for the OG EVO, and everyone wanted him to drop whateva he had cause everyone was so impatient....and u remember what happened?....a RADIO zip file was placed on everyone's SD accidently , and some who flashed that new radio lost there WIMAX keys and complained even more.....all because he rushed......THIS IS MY RANT on bugging and asking DEVs for ETA's...LOL.....sorry for being off topic here guys.....just drives me crazy when i see that......i know u would release something unfinished man...this are rgeat the way they are now....just gonna get ebtter from here on in it seems......WHEWwwwwwww !!!.....
[HTC EVO 3D] lowetax:
i nan restored to stock viperROM and then flashed stock font and your circle battery, which gave me the media and auto-brightness sliders in quick settings, while retaining the stock white with black letters notification pull down (no transparent), which i prefer.

now i just need the SL icons, without changing any of the above !!!

thanks dude !

@viper guy - remember - textbooks - not brewskys :)

but what fun is that !
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Thanks. I appreciate what you have to say, but just like in my life outside of the Android world, people cannot force me or pressure me into doing anything I don't want to do. That's why I've never been drunk, never did drugs, etc because I don't believe in that ****. Same for this ROM... a ton of people could threaten me to release it or try to pressure me to because "ROM 'X' has this and OMG I'm switching!" and I still wouldn't.

These things take time, and most people understand that. I am generally a patient person but I really like to keep my Android stuff moving along as fast as possible. Believe it or not, I'm sure I'm even MORE anxious for RC2 than any of you, but I have to be patient, wait for things to finish, make a couple of borked kernels and learn from my mistakes. Patience, people :)
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
It makes me smile that this thread feels like such a family people actually feel bad trying other ROMS. You don't see that often, you've done a good service here viper.
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
**** I didn't know that part about some kernels breaking stuff up. Do you know if rcmix breaks it? Which roms don't break oc daemon?

3vo fre3vo'd
[HTC EVO 3D] duclet:
I guess my sarcasm didn't come out right. Take all the time you need. The thing I love most about this ROM is how stable and bug free it is so definitely don't want to ruin that.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
It's kinda cute, I just don't want any other devs or people seeing this and taking it the wrong way. Like I don't want anyone thinking I guilted anyone into this haha

Stock works, and there have been mixed reports on all of the other kernels.

Thanks man :)
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
BTW, most awesome thing just happened... I'm at work (Best Buy) and someone called to ask if we had the Asus Transformer in stock. I was looking and made some small talk about how it's awesome but the quad-core tablets are going to be coming out soon. I talked about me deving for the EVO 3D and he goes "Oh really? Are you on XDA?" I said, "Yup! Actually just responding to my ROM thread as you called." He goes, "I just flashed Shooter Rewind. What ROM is yours?" I told him viperROM and he paused, looked it up, and said "****, I see it! I'm gonna flash it right when we get off the phone!" LOL, so it's cool to talk to a local guy!! I told him to post here so I know who he is haha
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
lol..that rocks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
Ok so if a custom ROM does break OC daemon, how can we un break it?

3vo fre3vo'd
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
It's not the ROM breaking it, it's other kernels. Just flash back to the stock kernel if the daemon doesn't run at boot anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] BigSK225:
Haha....yeah that was cool! I just called my girl all excited with the story and she did'nt get it. Lol. All she said was, "Good, we can hit him up if we have any problems with our tablets." Anyways, I'll be flashing this beast in a minute. Thanks again, man!
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
Sorry typo, I meant to write kernel... So how can I know if daemon runs at boot? Or if It's running period so i can keep track of it when i flash a custom kernel?

[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
If it comes up blank, the daemon's not running. If it comes up with anything reading virtuous, then it is.

As for ADB it's not that hard to set up. If you google it, or look on the google sdk site they give step by step instructions.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
LOL, yeah man lemme know if you need help but I'm sure you got it under control.

Use viperControl. That info is in the 2nd post.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
If you are on the vC that came with RC1.3, just go into the daemon settings and tell it to start. If it says that it's already started, it's running. If it starts with no warning, it wasn't running.

If you've flashed vC1.1, it tells you when you load it up if the daemon is running.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:

[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
awesome, so I finally got the sdk in my laptop (W7) and installed it perfectly and I opened up the command prompt and types in adb devices and saw my phone there. Now next question, do I just type this command in the next line: "adb shell ps -ef |grep virtuous" w/o quotes ? or what?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
come on man...don't boost his ego anymore! he's hard enough for me to work with!!

:) love you D
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:

Yeah, type that where you typed adb devices or just use vC like I said.

Oh yeah, I'm a real ballbuster lol
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
im gonna use VC, I just wanna learn to use adb being I got it setup and all. so I types adb shell and hit enter, then i put this in: ps -ef |grep virtuous and hit enter and it wrote it back to me the same way.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
If it repeated itself with no output, its not running.
[HTC EVO 3D] brol1k:
nothing else was written after that, It spit it out the same way I typed it. so I guess RCMIX kernel borked it for me. time to flash silver needle or stock rom...SMH
[HTC EVO 3D] james33440:
Yep at work for 2 more hours. Hopefully get the link fairly soon so I can download and install the ROM before getting off then play with some settings at home on the couch.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayv1717:
guys this might be a noob question but what exactly is daemon?
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
LIES, Its been 34 mins now and I am refreshing like a mofo :D

Just messing love your roms so far cant wait to flash 1.2. Thanks!!!!!

*EDIT* Getting 850kb's woot woot!
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Why would that be a noob question?....there's a link in the OPs 2nd post that takes u to another thread that talks about it....im still learning about it myself....everyone's gotta start somewhere right+

Edit.....arrrr.....go 4G goooo.......ok maybe illwait another 15 mins to leave for work haha....Damn I'm an idiot
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
RC 1.2 is finally up! Sorry about the wait, guys. Enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Not a noob question. A daemon is a program that runs in the background.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I need to call PayPal. I haven't used the account in a while. I will post when I get it fixed!

Yup, that's right. You could go with a lower min if you wanted.

Just as an oversimplification, it's a program that runs in the background. So it's always monitoring the phone's state and controlling it's CPU settings while hardly using any battery life or RAM. SetCPU uses over 10mb of RAM!!

Sorry about that lol and yes, scott with miuimods.net did a great job and set me up with my own box!
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Sounds good, sounds good........I may take it easy with pushing my phone to the limit with OC for now.....should read a bit more also.....alright cool.....4G sucks in my house, and its time for work....grrr, alright fellas have a good one...
[HTC EVO 3D] jayv1717:
thanks for answering! so you would recommend using daemon and not setcpu? what if i want to overclock or change governors?
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Lol dont be sorry I was totally playing your roms are epic so far and I cant wait to see what RC2+ brings with what your talking about in the OP. Very nice that you have your own box, speeds were great... Already flashing. Thanks again!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
This daemon, written in C, completely eliminates the need for SetCPU and other CPU controlling apps. The daemon handles min/max frequencies for both screen on and screen off but it has one more trick up its sleeve... It can change the governor INSTANTLY depending on the screen state. I have tested it and I can tell you that it really does work instantly and I think this is going to be a great battery saver! I have set default values within the ROM as follows: Screen Off - conservative @ 192min/486max and Screen On - ondemand @ 192min/1188max. Using these settings, I get NO lag. Battery life is amazing, over 19+ hours for me with moderate usage! See for yourself...
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
I am already up and running 1.2 looking nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
That can all be done through the script. Yes, I would absolutely use the daemon. I will be tuning it more over the next few updates. I can do more with it than SetCPU :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jayv1717:
thanks.. okay 1 more question be patient with me..lol.. lets say i wanna play around with setcpu and netarchys kernel.. how do i revert back to letting daemon do its thing again?
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
With Setcpu just disable it, not positive on this but I believe a kernel wont affect the daemon? But I guess we will find out from -viperboy- :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
1.2 is super snappy wow! And I have flashed everything out there so far and this is just amazing!

Oh and @jayv1717 the daemon is amazing my wife and I both have 3d's left the house today with full charges (she's stock and me running ViperRom 1.1) halfway through our day she was at 50% battery and I was at 90% very similar usage. I got the little sad face from her, so guess what I am flashing for her tonight?
[HTC EVO 3D] M5Rahul:
flashing...now...:D
[HTC EVO 3D] jayv1717:
:eek: nice definitely giving this rom a go! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Glad I was able to help you make a decision.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Well, on every boot, I have a script that will see if you are running SetCPU or or other CPU apps. If you are, it doesn't run the daemon. If you aren't, it starts it. If you change the settings, there is no way to restore back to the settings I have in there (recommended settings, if you will). Which brings up a good point, when I get my main script done, I will add in a feature to backup and restore my settings.

But you can use a custom kernel and still play around with it, by all means.

I think I just answered that right above here :)

That's what I like to hear! I definitely get fantastic battery life on this ROM. I'm personally using the stock kernel for now until one comes out that I really like. Then, I will include it in the ROM.

I may even make my own kernel in the next few weeks too ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Why not reflash the Rom over itself?

[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
OK whatever with this Rom and battery life... 2+gb downloading on 3g, 4g antenna searching, Google maps showing traffic wifi tether all running together. 2 hrs and 20 mins and counting and still 34% battery left.

When I force roam using roam control it shows in the notification bar that I am indeed roaming. However, when I try to place a call I immediately get a Verizon recording stating that the call cannot be completed. Also 3G roaming data doesn't work.

Hey Vinchenzop. Any chance you can make a theme that has all the sprint lovers colored icons except leave the signal bars, battery with percent, wifi and the 3g/1x still green like in standard gingerbread? I like the green for all those but it would be nice to have colored icons for everything else. If this is possible that would be really cool looking. No rush and I hate to bother you since I drove you nuts with my last problem. If you can't do it no big deal. Thank you.
