I only installed the 2 that it specifically called for on the HTC instructions. I unchecked all the others. So you just need to the top 2 on your list.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
You only need eclipse if you're developing. ;)

And I wouldn't bother with installing all that garbage. The basic package should be fine.

From their instructions:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
Worked! thanks! can't wait to actually try it, lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
I haven't noticed any from my testing or even any during the day today. You should have no problems, but just in case, that's why I included a way to reset it :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
bahahaha. re-rail. that was a real jewel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
If you don't mind me asking, how come you don't like that mod that gets rid of the 3 dot menu bar?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whoisatlas:
Just a few things. I'm in KC and I believe they are beginning to turn on LTE, as I started connecting to it on the stock rom. Just wanted to let you know that it is still connecting just fine on viperROM as well!

Also, one thing I noticed that was somewhat annoying is you can't see a notification from just a short pull down on the notification bar like on stock. Instead of just "peaking" at a notification by slightly dragging down the bar, with this rom you need to pull it all the way down. This isn't anything ROM-breaking, just a slight inconvenience I noticed.

Other than that, it's running great! I'll take it for a complete spin tomorrow and see how it performs. Thanks viper/vin!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
Not sure how much it really matters but my benchmarks have been going down with all the new updates.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Just starting running this ROM (thanks for the help guys). So far, I noticed that the multi-tasking is WAY better. Surfed a web page, played a game, checked email, checked SportsCenter then went back to the website via the multi-tasking button. Page was EXACTLY as I left it. This is the sole reason I rooted and unlocked honestly, so I really am thrilled that it worked. The smoothness has also increased overall! Awesome!

Thanks Viper and company! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this bad boy.

Note: Temple Run still glitches occasionally (it did on stock too). Any ideas what would cause this? Maybe the dual core mod would help. I'll look into this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jabawockee:
How much of a difference is it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Mine went from 5100 to 4800 upon flashing v1.2 (from stock).

Stuck at splash screen

Hello everyone, I seem to be stuck at the splash screen. After installing the rom through with twrp, i tapped on the Reboot System button. When it reboots, it takes me to the white HTC splash screen with the disclaimer but doesn't go anywhere after that. Is it supposed to take a while for it to load? I think I've waited about 5 minutes before resetting the phone.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nofrindsbz3:
did you do a complete wipe. Data, Dalvik and cache? Mine took a bit too load after the HTC screen. But the ROM and the tweaks are legit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmoreno79:
Yes, I wiped Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Factory Reset. I then mounted my external sd card so I can install the rom. Waited for it to finish and tapped on Reboot System - that's when I got stuck. I've rebooted the phone several times and can't get anywhere. I did notice that the next time I went into recovery that I'm now getting messages about failing to mount internal_sdcard. I'm starting to think this my problem. Anyone have any thoughts on how to recover from this. This is cross-posted on the TWRP thread as well since I didn't know where this would fall under.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nofrindsbz3:
try re installing TWRP... I had issues with TWRP install correctly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmoreno79:
Unfortunately reinstalling still has the same result. I first installed the stock recovery img using fastboot, then reinstalled twrp using fastboot. Still a no-go :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nofrindsbz3:
have you tried the other rom that was just released to see if you have the same results
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
The menu button becoming the bottom right button is odd to me. I just worry about stability and compatibility across all apps.

Thanks for letting us know! Sorry about the bar, it was modified by aamikaam and I didn't realize there was a difference.

Well, benchmarks don't matter. I'm going to put this to bed once and for all, and please don't think I'm attacking you, I'm just saying this in general because people always go on and on about this...

In order to provide better battery life, we modify some settings. A few of those settings are related to how the CPU scales. I have increased the threshold to where the cpu will scale up and modified some other values that try to keep the phone in the lower frequencies as much as it can without sacrificing performance. With benchmarks, you're worried far too much about numbers and not how the phone feels when you use it. Let me explain further...

The issue is that when you benchmark, this processor isn't being pushed to it's fullest, so the settings are trying to keep it scaled back to conserve battery. If you insist on benchmarking, you need to set the governor to performance. This will force both cores to use performance, however this won't force the second core to stay on. I even forced it on and ran the benchmark tests just to test something. Essentially, stock v1.2 benchmarked (via Quadrant) at 4781, performance gov increased the score by 200, forced core 2 on with performance gov increased by 200 more.

Also, for what it's worth, I removed the mount options that are done to /data, /system, and /cache via out init.d script and the base score dropped by almost 800, performance gov by 600, core 2 forced on with performance gov by 300. You can feel that the system is choppy. We do what we do here for a reason, if you haven't seen this yet :)

In summary, when you benchmark, the phone is going to try and get back to the lower frequencies. Even the little "breaks" in the benchmark programs will cause the cpu to lower it's frequencies, even for a second or two, which will affect your scores.

Thanks! How does Temple Run "glitch" though? Like stutter?

Redownload the ROM and try again :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pitch007:
Thanks. Sorry for the late reply but we got some hella hail and I lost power for a while. My evo didn't die from lack of charge but it was down to 6% when we got power back. I also wanted to let you know that my Facebook pictures finally came in. This was after I removed the Facebook account, readded and selected to sync all fb contacts. This is on version 1.1. I am installing 1.2 and e dual core mod as I type this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
So, after I do the HTC unlock, there's no need to root using one of the one click roots? Just flash a recovery???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] budeone:
You still need to root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 94tbird:
1 quick issue thats really been bugging me. Wifi.

I cna connect to wifi after booting my phone, but if i leave the area, the phone doesn't release the wifi signal. I can go miles away, and it still says im connected to wifi. 3G wont take over. If i manually disconnect the wifi network, 3g takes over, but if i go back to a wifi area, it will not connect until i reboot my phone. Ive tried disconnecting the wifi while im still on it, turning wifi off and on again, but it seems the only solution is to reboot the phone. Anyone else get stuck on wifi after a connection, or unable to connect to a different wifi network after being connected to one before it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quizo:
Maybe some one can help me. I use to be able to long press a pic in the stock browser and have a big list of apps to use off I want to share it. Now it just asks if I want to save it. Is it something I have to turn on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
That was the feature they took out due to Apple's copyright infringement suit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
ok, i just got my bootloader unlocked, i dont see anything about it being tampered, or does that come after i root? im in the process of rooting now, and then flash a recovery. is there anything anyone wants to point out before i start?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quizo:
Oh but it worked before I flashed this ROM, I gotta find a work around lol I don't want to save every pic, thanks for the info
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
You'll probably end up seeing it after you flash a recovery. Its nothing that I'd worry about...unless you're accident prone and are worried that you'll actually have to worry about a warranty (i'm not)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
I installed 1.2 yesterday and let it settle in a bit during the day but noticed the battery seemed to be dropping quicker than it should. I got it charged up to about 95% before I went to sleep, restarted the phone, left it on Wifi, and went to sleep. I woke up a little bit ago to see it at about 70%.

In the normal battery graph, it didn't show the phone having many periods of being awake. It seems that as long as it was on WiFi (which I know has working data), battery was dropping like a brick. I setup a 2nd email account and initially checked SmartSync. I googled it and saw that it learns how you use that mailbox and changes the sync settings based on that so I changed it to check every 30 minutes during peak time and every 4 hours on offpeak (overnight). Nothing is set to SmartSync anymore. The only other thing I can think of was that I had Better Wifi Performance box checked. I unchecked it and will keep an eye on the battery life.

For anyone interested in this problem, I've got a bunch of screenshots below including several from Better Battery Stats
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
no, im not worried but flashing the ruu would unroot and get rid of that message correct? and everyone here has the tampered message im sure :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darksurfr:
So still running 1.1 and haven't been charging my phone. It was at about 90% the other day....

The flat lines are over nights.

I love this. Waiting to hear back a bit more about 1.2 but that flashlight apk is very tempting. I have no idea why HTC left it off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
The flashlight app can be downloaded from the HTC Hub. I originally downloaded an older .apk from another board and found that the flashlight button didn't line up to where I needed to press on the screen to adjust the light. The one from the HTC Hub worked fine though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
You are correct. I used the RUU last night and "tampered" goes away. I am taking mine back to BB due to the proximity sensor issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darksurfr:
good to know. I think I will do that once I decide to charge my phone. I think if you were to never use your phone you could go about 5 days without charging it easy with this build.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
deleted...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmoreno79:
Thanks for the reality checks. I had assumed my downloaded file was correct and complete. I first downloaded the other ROM and flashed that. I noticed it starting booting into it and went to the setup screen fine. I then went back into TWRP and also noticed my internal_sdcard messages disappeared and I then proceeded to flash newly downloaded viperROM. This finally worked and all is good! Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
ive downloaded goo manager and hit menu/install open recovery sript, downloaded twrp-2.17-jewl.img, now how do i flash it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
Goo installs it for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
This is incorrect. Marvin, I believe that I already told you this. Once you fastboot flash recovery, you don't need to root again. If you have recovery, what would be the point of rooting again? None. All the information is in the OP on how to get this ROM running.

Sorry man, not experiencing this. Did you full wipe when you installed? What version are you on?

Tampered comes out when you root. The bootloader performs a checksum on /system and then it knows its not stock. But no need to worry, an RUU fixed that.

Welcome :)

It installed it for you already. But as I've already told you a few times, there is 0 point to do what you're doing. You're just wasting time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
your correct, im going to do a backup now, should i put a check in enable compression and skip md5 genration? im not use to seeing these options
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] integra3g:
It didn't do anything on mine once it downloaded. I had to do it the fastboot method to get it installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
mine didnt the 1st time either, i had to re download and it installed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 94tbird:
I am on v1.2 It happened on v1.1 for me as well. I will wipe EVERYTHING again and reflash. I will report back. Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] integra3g:
Would it be possible to make the panels circular (meaning you can swipe screens to the left and get all the way around without having to go back). I liked that you could do that on the 3D pre ICS. I didn't care so much about the fast carousel thing it would do sometimes, just the ability to go all the way around. Thanks!

Also, my Play market is working today, but I noticed my speeds via SpeedTest.net app are really slow (200 ping, 215 dn, 30 up). After a profile and prl update up got a little faster. Anybody else see this in the Plano/Dallas area?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 94tbird:
Install Apex Launcher and you can do that. Its the ICS launcher, but supercharged with a few extra features.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I have a question about the cdma/lte setting in mobile network settings. If this is just set to cdma because I don't have 4g around here yet, well it effect anything else besides 4g? Is there a point to turning the lte off? I just wondered if this phone searches for 4g when there is none,.and had anyone else been turning it off?

Swyped from my eVo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
It will drain your battery a little quicker because it will search for 4g even though there is none. I turned mine off until the glorious day we get lte.:rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] integra3g:
Hmm, found something odd. Pull down the notification dropdown, click on settings and then on "...More" and nothing happens. First time I tried it, the phone paused then the screen went black. I finally hit the home button and now when I do it, nothing happens and the setting screen is locked up. I can swipe up to close the settings and do it all over again. Bug???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pitch007:
I am running 1.2 and I am not having this problem. When I hit more, the settings come up fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henderjr:
I noticed that you can't use HTC's function test application on this ROM. You could get to it by dialing *#*#3424#*#*

It has lots of different tests you can run. Helpful if you're having trouble with certain features. I used it to test issues I was having with my proximity sensor. Turned out it was my screen protector covering it. Fixed easily with an Xacto knife.

Not a big deal but thought I'd mention. Maybe it's one of the apps that was pulled out of the ROM and I could plop it back in?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
Just gotta say 1.2 is so smooth and fast, no problems here...

now I just need some d3rp themes to play with on here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Everything is fine here as well. Try another fresh install. I found over the past 2 yrs of flashing that sometimes **** happens during an install and sometimes it takes a second install, or it could even have been a bad download.

Swyped from my eVo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Yeah, will look into the Rosie thing. No data issues here.

No, it won't affect anything else. I have mine set that way and I was trying to make the ROM default CDMA only too, but the setting won't stick. Still looking into it.

Nah man, working here. Sorry, reflash time lol

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
i wasnt rooted before i did the htc unlock, thats why i figured i would have to root afterwards

i dnt understand how im wasting time, i thought i need to flash the recovery. im not sure what step i wasted time on but im rooted and have the recovery installed and i made a back up. now im just waiting for the rom to finish downloading.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] integra3g:
I actually just restart the phone and it works now. No idea what happened.

so 1.2 is an full rom, for some reason i was thinking it was an incurmental(spell check) update, no wonder it was taking a while to download. im even closer than i thought, i was thinking i was gonna have to dl v1 and v1.2, good thing o started with 1.2.

edit: is there a way to verify that the whole rom downloaded successfully with goo manager, it dissapeared out of the notification bar, i checked the file size in astro, it says 272,278,912. im not sure if the equals 554.65 MB or not

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Quadrant (I've said this before, and I'll no doubt say it again) is a useless tool. Antutu is a little better, but let me give you my own personal take on benchmarking:

Benchmarking is only good for the phone you're on, it's useless when used to compare to other phones (even of the same model), and it's ABSOLUTELY useless in terms of real world usage.

A benchmark simply tells what your particular handset is good for at its theoretical max. And even THAT is going to give you skewed results from run to run, depending on what other apps are open, whether you're overclocked/underclocked, the kernel governor, etc.

A better way to test speeds is by usage. Does it feel smooth when navigating screens? How are the graphics in games? Do apps take a long time to open up? That kinda thing.

When using benchmarking to test differences between theoretical max speeds between ROMs there are so many variables involved you're almost never going to get a consistent result...

So if stock is performing faster (memory management alone could account for major differences in benchmark numbers, since the stock kernel set up was super aggressive, meaning that apps were being closed down faster thus freeing resources for your benchmarking) than this (or any ROM) ask yourself the questions I asked above. If the answers are positive, don't sweat the benchmark numbers.

Just my .02 and very humble opinion. Everyone is free to do as they wish, obviously. But for real world usage, benchmarks are worthless.

Power Saver Settings

Loving this ROM so far! I have a question and a feature request.

Question: Power Saver Settings. Are these settings active when Quick Settings "Power Efficiency" if set to On? If Power Efficiency is set to Off these settings are ignored?

Feature Request: Can GPS On/Off be added to Quick Settings? I only use GPS when needed to save battery.

Thanks for all of the work here! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
You need to have 4G enabled in order to enable 3G eHRPD (Enhanced High Rate Packet Data). In other words, even if you only have 3G, if you're on NV towers you will get better speeds with 4G enabled.

THIS^^^

could have not said it better. it's all about how it performs daily as you use it. aggressive performance means more battery used.

1.2 is smooth fast, with n hiccups, performs better than stock and I am getting better battery usage. almost 15 hours off charger and down 25% with heavy usage...not bad at all...considering how much the screen is on (bigger the screen the larger power drain it will be) I am very happy with the performance of this ROM on this phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
What can I say...I work quick
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Lmfao!!

Btw everyone, if you flashed clockwork to this device, you need to check your misc partition since it wiped it out. I've included the file to fix it in the ROM, you just need to write it to misc.

First, check and see if misc is corrupted. Do this by going into terminal and typing su, hit enter, and then strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23. If all you see are two lines that say "FNOC", you need to perform the next step. If you see more than that with mainver and some numbers, don't worry.

The fix is to then type in terminal dd if=/sdcard/viperROM/p23_dump of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 and it should tell you records in and records out. Run the string command above again and you should see more info like mainver and some other stuff. Let me know how it goes fellas :)
