LCD Density Changer. It's nice because I can set a temporary density of stock so i can download stuff from the Market that stops working when you change the density and i can keep my density of 190 saved as default and toggle between them quickly.

WidgetLocker, great little app!

Just tell me how battery life is :) you may have alot of drain on the first charge, just be aware. But it should get better afterward.

Well 1 it looks like you're using SetCPU or some other CPU program (which is irrelevant but why?? Lol) and 2 I bet you're not running the kernel it came with. This only works on LoStKernel that I know of.

Someone knows their widgets!! Thanks for posting this!

There is a setting to retain system keyguard in one of the menus. Give that a try :)

Well with the new calibration script, it clears battery stats for you when you hit 100% on the charger when you boot back from flashing in recovery. It will also run in the background until you hit 100% everytime you reboot. Your battery life should get better after the first charge. If this ends up not being as awesome as I thought it was going to be, I will remove it in v.3. I tossed it in this update because it's a small update and I can get feedback from you guys and make any needed changes in the next major build.

Sorry, I'm on from my phone. I assume you have a title to your post but the xda app doesn't show it so I have no idea what you're asking lol

You are really getting better life with ondemand? Hmm... anyone else? I just left it as conservative cause that was what Chris had stock. Can I have some more feedback from others?

If you did all that, you should have been fine. Double check the md5 on the file. Maybe you happened to get 2 bad downloads. Did you download from a computer? If you didn't, do that.

0 issues with wifi man, sorry.

Your phone is probably about to go LoS even though it shows you have signal. Just reboot :)

If you have a backup, it should restore. What error did you get??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
I've rebooted four or five times and it hasn't made a difference. Gonna try restoring my nandroid to test if it's possibly a network thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
op im also on setting "ondemand" and get great batterylife and i also lost all my backups on sdcard and reformat fixed it, i got no errors just when i went to restore from cwm it would jump back to screen where "reboot" is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
On v3, will there be a need for a full wipe just like v2? And will it be a full rom or an update like 2.1? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
lmao i played with the iphone just because i never have wasnt impresed. One button what the hell lol. My battery is doing great on this rom how about you. Im going to change out the kernel just to see what happens. By the way download the new go launcher lock screen mod its nice.

Thanks again viperboy love your rom

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exconvictriddick:
Lol I'm blind then rofl. Thanks.

When are you planning to release the update? Cuz I'm having licensing issue just now. It never occur before. As much as possible I want to minimize flashing different version of the same ROM. That's why I wait.

I can't wait for the battery calibration script though. I think its awesome addition to viper script. 5 star....

I love you ( I love your ROM more though, no home)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exconvictriddick:
oh god.....

I want v3 now. I'm in a state of pure happiness.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Thanks. I have finally finished the drain and recharge. draining slower than ever. using version 2.1 thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
First of all I would like to salute viperboy and all the other devs who take their precious time and sweat to develope. It's hard and thankless in some cases, and without them we'd be nowhere.

Having prefaced with that, I'm at my wits end with this phone. Tired of babying it and spending so much time worrying about battery and LoS issues. I swear I take it out of my pocket more times than I blink just to see if I have the "circle" (and I do) or to see how much the battery has drained just not being used at all.

This phone would be ohhh sooo perfect but for these few issues. Screen is crazy good, weight is crazy good, camera is crazy good, performance is crazy good...seemed like the messiah to the NS4G (with its own issues) I was leaving behind but what use is all that if it can last barely a day.

Today was/is the last straw. Didn't realise how I had the circle, and by 3pm battery was down to 20%, took off charger at 5am. Now one would think 10 hrs of "use" is acceptable, but from 5am to 3pm, I made no calls, no SMS, sent nor received any emails, right smack in the middle of midtown with good signal...basically the phone was coasting in my pocket the whole time. I'm also always worrying about turning on and off the wifi because of the wifi bug that just drains battery.

It's back to the NS4G for me, and this bad boy is going up for sale pronto before I lose too much on it. So close to being the perfect phone but not primetime ready. Can't be missing calls and VM's due to LoS issues and e.t.c...

It's painful but it's just not working out for me at all.

There is no way to choose internal storage in cwm when trying to restore a backup. Not that I can find anyway. Everytime I hit restore it just defaults back to previous menu. I go under backup and restore option then hit restore and it doesnt find any of my nandroid backups. I know I have them because I can see them in rom manager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
like i posted to op i also had that issue and i have it now again and i have no clue wtf is causing it cause i also have new sdcard and same issue is there, its seems like its something with cwm cause even when i wipe all **** 3x and flash stock rom some of my apps are still there and there paid apps so its nothing stock rom would have on it but im tearing my phone apart and starting from stock to find out what is causing this but i do have your exact issue now and i never had it on any other rom but im still hoping its a issue with cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Viperboy, is there anyway you could include the latest cwm 5026 in the lostkernel in your next version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exconvictriddick:
Glad someone liked it... lol :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
thats exactly what fixed my issues with loosing backups and data wipes not fully wiping, guess i missed cwm 5026 but so far it fixed me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] takeheart:
Viper, reporting back on Battery life: On first charge, it's going to be difficult to tell how it's doing and whatnot but there is no excessive drain that I can see thus far.

Much more interestingly, however, is that something in this update appears to have finally cut down on my Android OS usage. I never see it below the high 60's on battery use, and so far, on 2.1 with light usage, it's hovering around 20%. Will keep my eye on this to see if that continues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
Nice Rom! :) I really want to keep using it but had a LOS yesterday and today. The wifey is not happy. lol Not sure if I should ask this here but is there any easy way that I can get my phone to reboot once I get a LOS? I don't think I had any issue with the stock kernel but don't really want to go back to it.

[GUIDE] Set Tasker to AutoReboot on Loss of Signal (LOS)

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Viper, just a quick heads up and I apologize if you've already seen this/this has already been done but Chris41g recently recompiled LoStKernelEXP-1.0.0.4 with a series of bug fixes (uploaded 10/26). You may want to replace this kernel with that one, if you haven't already!!

Thank you again for your amazing work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Can you link me to this CWM 5026? I tried installing one of the ones floating here and have been having issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
ZERO LOS today.

On version 2.0 I had many LOS

But whatever you did in this rom I'm showing a much better battery life and no Los (so far)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cricketsmoke:
Edit: gtalk works on 3G now, nevermind.

Thanks for the work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Do you notice a better experience using ondemand vs conservative? How's battery life?

It will be a full ROM and will wipe only /system, /cache, and dalvik, but I always recommend a full data wipe. I always do, and then I just let TB do it's thing. I have the Pro version so I just tell it to restore and let it sit for 5 mins and boom!

Damn, sorry to hear man. You wanna trade for an E3D? Lemme know. But what version of the ROM did you have this problem with?

Thanks for the info here! I didn't know that he didn't release it under a new number and just "rereleased" 1.0.0.4 with new CWM and stuff. I will put this in the next update. I just request that someone toss this into Google Code because I will forget!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
viper, don't forget to include 1.0.0.5 lostkernel on V3! ;) Just released!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Got it! Please put this in the viperROM Google Code page so I put it in v3!

EDIT: Thanks for adding. But that is a feature request, not an issue :p no worries, I will fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Oops! My bad!

<<Google Code n00b!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
I have done that about 12 times. I really think a step is missing or something is severely borked (still havent found a spare sd card to test out yet tho)

Ok, Im more at ease now since i know that someone else is having the same exact issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Viper, just reporting that whenever i flash your ROM i get POOS a lot. (unable to send/receive phone calls and texts/data even though bars show everything is OK). When on the stock deodexed ROM I do not have these issues :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drsteven2:
2.1

I was running 2.0Viper Rom with minimal issues. What I mean is; I know LOS are common, and I know is not because of the Rom. But I updated to Viper 2.1 and I been getting LOS like crazy..I did a wipe and dalvik and flashed 2.1. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
It could be the kernel not liking you phone but I haven't had an issue. You can try flashing my ROM and then the stock kernel.

I didn't touch anything that would have caused that. All I can tell you is maybe you just got unlucky and it's coincidental. Not a great answer, but that's all I can really tell ya.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sumo911:
Changelog says all bloatware has been removed, yet FaceBook and Google+ came preinstalled on this ROM, which to me pretty much qualifies as bloat since I dont use those apps. And since we're on the subject, why does the Facebook, Email, Google+ and DSPManager app always restart itself even after I close them out with GoLauncher's builtin task manager?

Also, the 'expect the unexpected' splash screen is a little creepy; makes me think you cooked in some sneaky **** thats gonna rear its head later on and devour my device. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
dude this rom cant be tailored to everyones specific need. facebook and google+ isnt considered bloat to most of us. If you dont want it in the rom, then go delete it. It takes 20 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Correct me if I'm wrong but bloatware is considered all the unnecessary sprint apps. Google + is a Gapps thing. This ROM is awesome, 'expect the unexpected'...this is his ROM. Viper can put whatever he wants inside of HIS ROM, if you don't like it...try another ROM or make your own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
I flash LoStKernel over the stock deodexed rom and have no issues. When running your rom phone/txt/data locks up a lot.. (the the two hours I had 2.1 flashed it locked up twice). If I stay connected to wifi, I can get data but no calls or text. So odd.

This happened to me when I was on Starburst, too... Locks up when running the ROM when flashing the same kernel on stock deodexed caused no issues. I tried flashing 1.8 and it was working fine but i had to uninstall due to GPS issues.

Anyone else having this problem? Maybe my phone is defective...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
which one did you use? in the AIO thread is SPECIFICALLY states in several post that it wont work on viper because its No CIQ.

If you got it to work, can you let us know how and which one you used??

I would really like to get the lockscreens on here without using widget locker. Thanks homie
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Well, you're wrong. Bloatware is what came preinstalled on the phone. If you don't like the added apps, remove them.

Since I didn't design Facebook, Email, Google+ and DSPManager, I can't tell you why they start when they want to from the top of my head, but before you break out the tinfoil hat download Autostarts from the Market. It will tell you under what conditions apps start and you can block them if you so choose.

And lastly, the comment about the bootanimation is so utterly retarded I'm at a loss for words. Again, easy to change since it scares you. The ":-P" doesn't tell me that you were joking either and I think you were being completely serious. I didn't put anything into the ROM like that. The bootanimation was created by someone (who's name I honestly don't remember) for me on the E3D and I like it enough that it is going to be the norm in all of my ROMs.

+1 thank you. **** like that annoys me.

I installed nociq lockscreen mod on viper 2.1 & its working fine. My battery is draining kind of quick though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Likely from the battery script, give it 1 charge cycle and it should get better!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
yeah the batt shot down so fast . I had gotten 20+ hours before the last update (v.2) I charged it to 100% fell asleep woke up and its on 20%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
I am sure it will. I just installed last night and am on my

first charge cycle. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I have a request. Please add USB OTG support. I feel let down that this phone didn't come with it natively. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
That's isn't just an "add it into the ROM" feature. This needs to be incorporated into the kernel. I don't know if there is native OTG support but I doubt it so that makes it a little tougher to make it work. Hit up chris41g and ask him about this, he might know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
What Locker works better? i have the new Go and i also have widget locker.Which you think uses less battery?

Also i have Go now as my launcher instead of LP since the locker works better with it.

thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Having a couple minor issues with VC OC Daemon...

1. Hitting enter to exit isn't working for me.

2. I opened VC and set the min/max awake frequencies to 200000/1400000 and the awake governor to performance. Closed VC, then re-opened it and saw that my frequencies and governor were displayed correctly. However, I notice that my performance didn't change so I figured "what the hell" and fired up adb shell on my dinosaur office computer and saw that my frequencies were correct, but my governor was actually still set at conservative. I tried this a few times to make sure and got the same result every time. So basically VC is saying that my governor has been changed, but it actually hasn't.

Weird....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
hey did you restart the vc engine after making the configuration changes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Not quite sure what you mean by "vc engine". I did completely close TE and fired it back up. The screen I posted of of VC frequencies was taken after I closed and re-opened VC/TE. Pretty sure I said that in my initial post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
i think its option 7) Start virtuous_oc

try this, after you have made your changes, restart the engine by executing option 7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I've killed and restarted virtuous OC after setting frequencies already as well...but adb still displays my governor as 'conservative'. I wanted a third opinion, so I granted SetCPU SU permission and opened it. It displayed my governor as 'conservative' as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingOfThaJungle:
It works, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18796654&postcount=189... you might have a bad DL, so try redownloading the NO CIQ version and reflash it. The mod was having issues flashing thru CWM, but crawrj has updated the files to work!...I'd flash it twice anyways to make sure it works being that you were having issue to begin with.... I had to flash it 2x w/ the 1st set of versions that he had posted, but the sets up there now are suppose to be working on the 1st try but still...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
kool beans...thanks homie

hopefully this battery calibration script works okay. I was getting great battery life on previous versions...getting pretty bad battery life on 2.1.

Either way..great work Viper
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I like the old Astro better haha but i need to update it. Thanks. Wanna put that in the Google Code page? :D

Wow, this is odd. I can confirm that the enter to exit in the OC settings isn't working. Easy fix.

However, the governor issue is puzzling. You're right, it isn't doing it but I know it was working in previous versions. It's reading the governor from the virtuous_oc files but it seems like it's not changing it. I will take a look at this tonight and likely have an update for vC posted tonight. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and sorry for the inconvenience!

EDIT: ok, restarting the daemon works. But it should be changing it live. To correct this, I will make the daemon restart itself after every change from now on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
any1 try v2.1 with the latest LostKernel EXP 1.0.0.5 ? or chris41g's latest Stock Pulled Repacked with CWM5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Nice. Yeah after restarting daemon a few times it stuck. Reverts back to stock frequencies/governor (200000/1200000_conservative) after reboot though. Not sure if this is the norm, but having to redo settings after reboot isn't a big deal for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
I have a question Viper, the auto battery calibration, at what mv does the script activate? 100% can vary since the max that I've gotten is 1493mv.

I get 17% battery drain from voice command how can i get rid of this as i end it running but it always comes back what is the voice command anyway
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaewang:
Hi, do I have to FULL wipe (you must atleast wipe /cache, /system, and dalvik!) when upgrading to v2.1? Or is it every flash requires full wipe?

Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
With an update that is not a full ROM just wipe cache and dalvik. You will be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaewang:
Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
It doesn't do this on the EVO 3D, so I'm not sure what's up. I will just code something into vC to restart the daemon on any change in the background so you don't even need to hit yes or no.

The script looks for 2 things. It looks for 100% battery AND to check that the battery is "Full". There is a flag, so to speak, that switches when the phone deems that it's full. Both of these conditions need to be met before it clears the stats. I would never set it to a specific mV because every battery is different. Maybe certain ones won't hit a specific voltage, so this is the best way to do it.

So how is the battery thing working for everyone? I'm on my 1st charge after the automatic calibration and my battery isn't doing too well lol so I'm going to give it one more charge cycle and if it's not dramatically better after tomorrow, the script is getting removed.

Just remove it under Menu > Settings > Applications.

Nope, just /cache and dalvik.

Idea

Hey Viper-

You should post a "Themes" post under your ROM posts near the beginning of this thread. I am noticing other Devs doing this, and I think it would be a cool collaboration point for you as well as helpful to the community of fans (like myself) who enjoy your ROM so much. Just a suggestion, take it of leave it. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
Didn't use the phone a lot but battery seems better.

62% after almost 11 hrs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
My battery was draining fast from 99 down to 50. As soon as I changed the governor to ondemand the drain seemed to slow down quite a bit. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Wound up getting 14hrs 30 min with 3hrs 30 min screen on time. Not too bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I don't know what themes work, I don't theme my phone so you guys would have to let me know!

On v.2.1?

Thanks for letting me know, I will test out ondemand tomorrow!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Nice! You're the man viperboy. I appreciate all the work you're doing for this device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
No problem! I'm really liking it! I am going to have an update out in a a half hour or so here for you guys. Nothing major, but a few fixes and enhancements. I'm going to change the default governor to ondemand and tweak that a little bit and you guys can tell me what you think and it will hopefully improve battery life since others have reported better battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
It took a little longer than I thought, but the update is done! Please see changes in OP! I really need some feedback on battery life guys because I won't launch v3 until I see how it's going for people. Enjoy! :D

Hey Viperboy,

I just had a bad experience with StarBurst, and I am going to try this bad boy out. Are the ROM's only 4.25mb? That is what I downloaded lol. Or am I missing a bigger file somewhere in the OP?
