Has anyone done this successfully? I know it has been done with the Optimus v. Is it a different process for this phone?
[Motorola Triumph] rubbachicken:
it should eb the same w/ them both being cdma i just havn't done it since 1.6 or 2.1 and i guess what i remember is wrong...

can you link me? i'll search for it too, thanks.

Edit: If you are running one of the Froyo based roms, you can edit the build.prop file located in your system folder and achieve the same results easier:

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile

You can use more than the 17 charatcer limit of the eri.xml edit using this method, confirmed by mmarz

Thanks to mmarz for posting this in info!

I've been hacking on the firmware guys - the alpha tag is coming from the CDMA firmware (I've managed to log it), and the firmware is probably getting it from the carrier itself.

great interview, i like reading about the devs that make my dreams come true
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Thanks for the interview, PaulB007 and great work putting it together! I realized I talk too much after reading this :D
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
I realized afterwords that I forgot to add in the question about how you and your partner started working on the ROM together, you could elaborate on that here too if you'd like and I can add it to the OP. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
You can just throw in what I sent you if you'd like, that's fine with me.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I think It's a good idea..I enjoyed reading about the devs and found it interesting that two average guys were able to put together such a complete Rom without tons of experience..must be smart guys..good job op..hopefully some other devs will participate..and i know more will be coming around sooner or later..hint myn..
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Great Stuff and great Idea. Beings that I just rooted my first Android Phone Ever this will help me get a look at some of the Roms out there and get some user feedback.

[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Nice idea man, damn a lot to read lol, but is good specially for new people to know their developers, you should contact zone23, Ava and myns since they been in the of evo as well and they work has been recognized as well :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Thanks paulb, either I'm like I am in real life...soft spoken, and only speak when something is worth saying, or it just appears that way based on the 8 part novel that Derek wrote when responding to his interview questions...trying to get on the best seller's list viper?
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Thanks for the positive feedback fellas, I appreciate it. If I get enough comments and views I will continue to do this in the future.

Paul, this is one of the greatest idea's here and really enjoyed reading this. I hope you continue to do it.

I was glad to see team Viper up first as there ROM is not only sweet but they seem like great people as well.

For anyone who hasn't tried their Rom yet, what are you waiting for! Also, there ROM thread is a joy to be a part of. It is like a family in there.
[HTC EVO 3D] AvidBlake:
Great interview questions. I'm running ViperROM after having tried Shooter and Supra. Viper has an excellent balance between speed/power and battery life. the OC daemon just rocks.

I'm definitely a raving fan of ViperROM - can't wait for more!

[HTC EVO 3D] nuprotocol:
Not only is battery life the BEST in this rom, its fast, and above all Dev Support. Viper answers almost every question and in a timely manner. He's not some silent dev god that answers once in a blue moon. The support makes him number 1 to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:

[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
This is really cool and and a great idea, I would've never thought of hosting interviews with the devs of this forum, it's interesting to see what they do outside of XDA and where they're at in life. A good read. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Thanks for the support all, I was hoping to do an interview with toast about the status of CM7 and AOSP on the Evo 3D since I know thats a hot topic right now, sadly he hasnt responded to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
That would be freekin awesome. Hope he responds. Maybe your PM didn't go through. You should hit him up again just to make sure:p
[HTC EVO 3D] sflg35:
thanks for the review.

been using viperROM since it was released and has been great.

battery life is amazing. i used to be able to only get half a day out of the phone before it would die. now ive gone 36hours with light use.

heres a picture to how well this rom works.

thanks!!
[HTC EVO 3D] error4o4:
This thread does not do the Viper team justice. I've never seen a rom team so dedicated to their work as these two. Seriously, go into the Viper rom thread and read about 20-25 of 250+ pages.

You'll see both team members replying left and right , taking so much time out of their work just to answer questions. Many of which do not even need to be bothered to answered, they truly show to me in that light how much they really care.

Its like the normal retail store mantra, customer first, but these guys actually live it. For a free product on top of that.

Its rare when I donate to a rom developer and feel warm and fuzzy about it. These guys earned it.

Love a Post" has a little humor in it, helps me...wake up! :) Just couple questions if I may,

Step 1. Video to repeat? One folder, would this include sound?

I'm making a video which would be in .wmv ext but would like to hear sound as well in the start-up.

Step 2. Images, said "File > Save for Web & Devices to reduce the file size drastically" and every video is different. Understood the 400x800tall would be the size on the screen, but the pixel's?

Can this be more or higher to give it a clean crystal clear look on start-up screen? what "save" should be best to keep and not loose any clarity on the Origin Image(s)?

Step 4 takes me back to 1 "reflected in your desc.txt"

I am renaming it right, as I save it?

Getting funky and so for, I am going to wait til I get there, and thank you for the knowledge...
[EVO 4G Android Development] civicboy1791:

When i save it I saved it as "all text files" cause it was not specified in op. Should I have saved it as a script of some kind?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DNarsingh:
When using Notepad++, you have to go "Edit", "EOL Conversion", and then make sure "UNIX Format" is selected. You must also make sure that under "Encoding", "Encode in ANSI" is also selected. Then just save it as a normal txt file.

and in GB like the location you are refering too /system/resource/customize I had to rename form bootanimation.zip(aosp) to spc_bootanimation.zip(GB) and sound too. Although video on aosp works great and i don't have sound on aosp yet, when i have time i have relocate file or rename I know it's just a minor. hope this help

long press on the file and either permissions or properties, I always see it in properties and it shows the specific info on the file with a button to the right on the permissions line saying "Change"

Pull the XML to PC and make them edits the place on sdcard then use es file to move. (Rename the old one to default.back.XML )

any specific progran i need to use to edit the default.xml file?

ran jared's too that thing was awsome, did KDeck's too and same results, still WIP on both and now if Im not mistaken one is running on tiamat and the battery improved by far!
