*LAUGH*

Ok, I'll shut up for awhile and stop cluttering your thread (for now). Thanks again for the ROM, Vin and Viper. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Overall, just tweaks for battery life. I increased the up_threshold so the processor won't scale up as much and decreased the sampling_rate_factor and down_differential. Those tweaks try to keep the phone in the lower freqs if it can but it shouldn't cause lag or hinder performance. If you're really interested as to what everything is doing, read /system/etc/sysctl.conf, the main screen of viperControl, the 21viperrom file located in /system/etc/init.d, and the viperROM section of the build.prop. this is where most of the tweaking is done.

Thanks man, surprised you're still running that lol that **** is oldddd lol

I'm up for the moment. Be nice, Vin. Let's not scare people away just yet.

Lol, fantasizing about me again...

Atleast he's honest lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
lol...the day I'm afraid of VIN is the day I get that sex change he wants me to get.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:

im gonna charge it to 100% and see if i notice any differences in battery :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:

Nice F'in work guys...vin your a beast...now all I need to do is use my upgrade...always nice to have a dev 10 feet away from ya....:D....I luv this guy(no homo)just saying..:rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Everyone poke fun of this guy for not preordering when I told him to. However, he is also the person that showed me what rooting was, and directed me toward xda, so maybe thank him?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
I want you guys to know how committed I am to this phone... Granted this is my own fault and I lost too much money in Vegas, but I'm going to return my beloved Prime as defective to BBY, get that store credit, and redo the EVO 4g LTE purchase transaction so I get an almost full refund back to my card cause I need monies for bills lol

Damn, dev work just don't pay well, does it? It's almost as bad as working for BBY :P but whatever it takes, guys. I was gonna use the Prime for my schoolwork again (store my books as PDF's so I don't have to lug around books) but I will find another way. Maybe pickup an old Transformer or something before I go back next semester.

Hope the ROM is running well :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:

Is landscape rosie enabled in this rom? It was on my Sense 4 Rom for my sensation and I loved it. I think it's as easy as changing a setting in the rosie.apk.

It would be much appreciated. I see it in a lot of the one x mods. :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firegoblin:
Vin or Derek what kind of battery life are you getting out of your Rom. I'm running 1.2.1 with the ultimate dual core mod and nothing else. Phones been sitting with screen off on WiFi and I'm getting a steady drop in battery that I never got with stock. Any thoughts or ideas. I know viperrom made my 3d a battery sipping beast i know it can do the same for the lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Start by installing better battery stats. My phone has been plugged in 90% of the time I've had it since I've worked most every day in the same amount of time.

But in the 10% it's been unplugged, it's been low drain, but I'm also a minimalist...gps, mobile network, sync all turned off unless I'm using them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firegoblin:
I have battery monitor widget pro installed. I usually keep it plugged in as well but I read that Derek said with the ultimate dual core mod it should get great battery life so I flashed it and unplugged it to test it out. But I'm getting about the same as I was before I flashed it. I just know that on stock if I'm not using the phone the battery barely drops at all. I had best WiFi performance on but I turned it off with hopes that it will help. I'll probably calibrate the battery over the weekend and see if that helps any bit with the phone being so new I don't think it will

Battery Drain

Attached is my battery drain with moderate use during the day. So far I am very happy with over 24 hours of batter life. :)

Looking at the picture that you posted, it shows that you have wakelock. In terminal emulator type su then dumpsys power. It will show what wakelock you have.

i know my phone should be getting better battery life than it is its dropping about 10% an hour just sitting. im not a noob by any means not a developer though so im trying to see what i can do to get my lte to last like it does on stock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Better battery stats will show you wakelocks (if any), that's about your best place to start
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Agree 100 %, dumpsys power shows wakelocks at the present moment not overall.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
You are good now, but your previous pic shows wakelocks. As Vin said try better battery stats, just don't use the phone at all for a few hours.

what am i looking for in better battery stats? kernel or partial wakelocks. and Ill let it sit for a while and post screenies later on. For now I'll play with the nexus s 4g ive been using as a google music phone.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

where do you see the wakelock in that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Did you get the version from xda or from the play store? You'll want the one from xda, sorry should of mentioned it before. Link can be found in the FAQS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firegoblin:
i got the one from xda
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
The screen of the battery usage that you posted. You can see that your phone wa not on yet it was awake.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
It didn't look all that bad to me. You're always going to have periods where your screen off and your phone is on. Auto syncs and crap.

What you want to watch for on that screen is high wake times when screen is off, not the onesy-twosy lines you saw on that screenshot. There are a few points where it's a little higher than I'd think normal but that shouldn't account for the major drain he's seeing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
But that was also that many wakes within 3 hours. That many wakes won't let the phone go into that deep sleep where you only lose a few %'s over a few hour duration
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I dunno. Mine looks fairly similar and I didn't have any issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
How do you determine he has a wake lock from that picture?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
My battery life has been pretty bad too since I've been on ViperROM 1.2.1 with Ultimate DCM. When I'm using the phone (WiFi on, that's it), I'm losing percentage points way too quickly. My screen brightness is about 40% or less. No phone calls.

Thoughts?

Edit: BTW, ROM is smooth as silk, and Temple Run no longer has any performance issues in my brief tests today. Excellent work on this, I just need it to last longer. :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Maybe it's the dual core mod? Anyone getting great battery life on the ROM AND using that mod?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2LoWw7:
How far are we from having inverted stock messaging or at least having the background black instead of the white. Also the LED to flash while charging.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ewalk4866:
I have great battery life in my opinion and I'm on this rom and using the mod.

sorry dont know how to put a pic in so..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
Got this rom installed and i don't have dual core mod. I was wondering if it's just me but does the phone seem a lot slower below 30% battery? it seems really sluggish...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Probably from the phone going into Power Save mode. Open the app and tweak the settings if you want.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
Power save isn't enabled. Unless it's enabling itself
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
my experience with the dual core mods on the 3D were that screen on battery drained a little quicker...because of using it...but when it slept, it barely inched, so overall battery cycle would be comparable, you just have to get use to the fact it will drain faster when on, but usually will deep sleep better. YMWV. depends on usage and if you're on wifi or a good signal. a bad signal will kill the battery.

I am using the ultimate DCM for now and its been similar drain.

as always performance and screen on come at the cost of the battery.

just my 2 cents.....and I am a very happy customer with the setup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] meansixx:
I just rooted minez and wanna flash this badboy, but for sum reason i cant download this rom, keep getting error. using laptop, and used different browsers but still a no go....

I've been on vipeROM for about 3 days now (1.2.1) and also am running the dual core mod and the menu rerouting. Everything has been GREAT! My problem is for probably the last hour my phone is sitting next to me and it keeps waking about every three minutes or so. Anyone having any kind of issues or suggestions? Nothing major but I keep looking at it like I got a text or an email.

To root, or not to root... that is the question!

Just got home with mah new Evo LTE and realized that to restore all my app settings I'm going to need to root. I was planning on waiting a while to make sure all the hardware was good to go but I'm thinking about just going for it now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bhint15:
Really everyone by now should stop using low/medium/high usage...just show your screen on hours and let everyone decide your usage lol.

Screen on says it all...just would like to see that myself because "usage" varies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'm on 3% right now after 3.5 hours of screen on time. Not thrilled. I removed the DCM Ultimate and I'll see if it improves tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
So, looks like I can't even reflash it. The SD card shows up blank in TWRP (fine on computer), and when I mount internal storage, file transfer sits at "Calculating" forever.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Does this ROM have the ability for 5 rows on the home screen?

Also, I see people asking for volume wake & flashing LED... are you planning to make these options or just default w/o the ability to disable? These are two examples of small things that would make me not use this ROM. For me bumping the volume rocker is too easy and I don't need my battery being zapped sitting in my pocket and the flashing LED is just WAY too bright at night especially with two phones plugged in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reynoldsrobbie:
Isn't that a launcher option? I'm using Apex and you can change rows and columns in landscape and portrait.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
I haven't been using viper too long, but I believe he leaves those as optional downloads. The wake is already a mod available which I understand you don't want but it's there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
I already made the volume wake, its an optional download, available to those who want it in my MOD thread. viperROM will always remain 'fairly' stock (mostly for stability purposes), and mods will be made compatible yet remain optional for those who want it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Good point. I'm running CM7 on my Evo 4G right now and it has ADW baked in. I know on my MikG ROMs it was actually part of the ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

That's cool. Just so long as it's an option. I prefer things to be near default with the option to change things for those who wish to. I've seen some ROMs on other devices make such things just how it is and I can't stand having my hands tied like that.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Perfect. Thanks!

Also, while we're making requests... while listening to Music the ability to skip to the next song by holding down the volume button is something I've grown accustomed to. Is this something this ROM is capable of? I read this entire thread believe it or not and I saw someone asking about this feature but I don't recall seeing if it was addressed yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Its been requested (in this thread), and it's on my list (though runandhide is also making headway on it).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
Vin I think i read in runandhide's thread that you worked on a mod to wake on long half press cam for voice search. will you make it as an available mod download? Plus will there be an option for wake on long full press cam for camera app?

all my pics disappeared in my people widget. They sit show under the contacts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Good to hear.

Also, before I waste too much time searching... what's the best/easiest way to root this phone? In my previous Evo 4G I plugged it into my PC and clicked a button and that was that... did it all for me. I found this link which outlines something similar to that... is this the general consensus and quickest way to root these?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
No, there's a half-click method out there somewhere.

Let me see if I can find it for you...

Sorry, had to. That's the one I used. Simple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reynoldsrobbie:
Believe us early birds used the HTC unlock method and also a easy root from Zedomax. Then used Goo manager for recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
Are they facebook contact pics? This happened to me. I think I just restarted my phone. Either that or its when I unsyned then resyned with Facebook.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Half click... good one. :D

Hey, was that screen brightness issue resolved? I don't like dim screens on brand new phones that I will be showing off to my iPhone owning friends. ;)

I don't know what any of this means.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
You don't need to root the phone.

Unlock it with HTCdev unlock, load the recovery of your choice, flash the ROM, it's rooted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
Do Dev unlock first

Then follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26521659&postcount=1

Then download goomanager to install recovery.

At least this is how i did it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megazac1:
Anyone know how to get the stock battery icon back?

I've looked at and flashed all sorts of battery icon mods, but all I want is the stock one WITHOUT the percentage shown. I find that I get way too distracted and into glancing at my phone to check the battery level when it's right in my face.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
How is this better/easier than the link I posted?

When I click the drop down on the right there is no option for the Evo LTE.

Maybe if I read this I will answer my own questions... Watching a video in that link now which seems like it will walk me through the whole process.

Does this give me the same recovery screen I have with CM7? It's the same recovery screen I've used since my OG Droid days and I know how to use it and it's worked well for me and I would like to keep that. Are all recoveries the same or is ether different ones? I don't like using ROM Manager or anything like that I just like to flash things from recovery so that's why I ask.

I don't care which method I use so long as it's simple and reliable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
The link you posted is the same as the second link i posted. The link i posted is just the thread to follow. For the HTC Dev unlock, select "All Other Supported Models". The recovery you will get with goo manager is TWRP 2.18.

Edit: There is also this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679289 that will root and install recovery at the same time, but I didnt use it so I dont know if it works as it should.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
What is HTC Dev unlock as compared to this YouTube video?

Here is the recovery screen that I'm used to:

Is this what I will end up with if I follow the steps in the YouTube video I posted above??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
Ostrich-you are confusing root with unlocking.

You need to unlock the bootloader with htcdev unlock and then load a custom recovery so you can flash ROMs

This ROM has root privileges, you dont need to root the stock ROM you are on.

IF you wanted to run rooted apps on the stock ROM you are on THEN you would root it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
Yeah what i knowsquat said.

But the recovery you would get with goo manager is TWRP 2.18.

I know both of us are telling you different methods. They both give you root. I hope we are not confusing you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
Root is part of the ROM that allows superuser permissions

you need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash a recovery, so you can flash a ROOTED rom (such as viperROM).

go to www.htcdev.com and follow their instructions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Yep, confused. I need root for some apps to work so I need root. I don't need unlock and I've never unlocked anything before so I wouldn't know about that. I need root for lots of apps that I use regularly and most importantly I need to recover all my apps & settings from the Titanium Backup from my Evo 4G since I just now got my new LTE and need all my backups so I can set everything up. That being said, will doing what is in this link get me to where I need to be and then I can flash this ROM from recovery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
No offence, if you're only looking for rooting the stock rom, you're discussing it in the wrong thread. This is for viperROM, which you would need to be unlocked in order to flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
My plan was to flash this ROM after I rooted the device. This is how I've done it on all past devices so someone please explain why there are two methods and the method I want to do is wrong or what's wrong with that link I keep posting? I'm completely lost here now and I'm not sure what has advanced so much since I last rooted a device and loaded a custom ROM that's caused me to not know what's going on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
"this is how I've done it on all past devices" = I had an easy program that gave my device S-Off and flashed a recovery for me

We don't have that.

The only way to flash this rom, is to unlock with Htcunlock. I'm sorry to sound rude, but if you can't handle that, then its probably safer for your phone that you don't try to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
The Evo 4g didnt have the bootloader locked so there was no reason to do HTC Dev Unlock. However, HTC started locking the bootloader requiring HTC Dev Unlock until an alternate method is found. If you want to root and install a custom rom, you need to dev unlock.

There is nothing wrong with the link you posted. You can either:

1. Do HTC Dev Unlock

2. Follow instructions on the link you posted.

3. Download goomanager to install recovery

4. Install ViperRom

or

1. Do HTC Dev Unlock

2. Use fastboot method to install custom recovery

3. Install ViperRom

Both methods will give you root and give you viperrom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
I hate such statements.

Who says I can't handle any of this? I just haven't had to do it in the past. I've got three different people telling me to do four different things and nobody is being specific so how am I supposed to know how to proceed? I posted a link and a video... what's wrong with those? Maybe tell me specifically what parts I'm missing or doing incorrectly so I can learn what the differences are.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Thank you! This is all that had to be explained and I fully understand this.

So, I need to do the HTC Dev unlock via that link where the Evo LTE wasn't listed, right? Just click 'all other devices' or whatever the option was and follow the steps, right?

Once I get that squared away I will ask a couple other specific questions I have about the next steps before I decide which method is best for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
And all 3 people had one thing in common...no matter what methods they said they used. They (myself included) said to use the Htcunlocking method from www.htcdev.com. You can mince words all you would like,

These words are pulled from the official recovery developers website...SOURCE

If you want a recovery, you need to be S-OFF (which we can't aquire as of yet) or have taken HTC's unlock...which we've told you to do.

if all you want is root, on the stock rom, then any of those methods are fine, but you wont be able to flash this rom with those methods.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ldostang:
Yes follow the instructions within that link.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iknowsquat:
This isn't the unlocking thread. It's the thread for a custom ROM.

Vin, 'Stang and I are all trying to HELP you.

Vin and I were telling you the same thing.

'Stang just did the most extensive hand-holding.

The information is out there, if you did the research (and refreshed before posting) then things wouldn't be so confusing.

Good luck.
