Perhaps it's you. If it's BOTH links it's not likely to be server problems.

Secondly I just downloaded the ROM from both sites at the same time and they both finished within 5 minutes.

Edit:

I have successfully flashed the ROM from the first link. Not going to bother with doing it twice just to prove a point. Both links worked fine, no 'failed download' and the downloads speeds were 2mb/sec and higher. There's nothing wrong with either of those links.

In the future rather than saying something like, 'both sites posted stink' it might be more polite to say, 'is anyone else having a problem with the links posted for this ROM?'.

Just a small suggestion designed to keep things civil in this thread.

Just a few lines in the build.prop. There are two instances of ro.da1.enable, the first at line 20 and the other at line 302. I deleted the one at 20, modified the one at 302, and added the new line at 303. Hope this helps. Working perfect.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
This ROM actually shows 1x. The stock ROM doesn't. So it's entirely possible you weren't getting full 3G before you updated, but the stock ROM didn't report it that way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ricansoul:
Thanks SMW but I tried that and still get failed. Anything else?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:

You might try clearing cache/dalvik, rebooting directly into recovery and trying again. If THAT doesn't work I suggest downloading it again and trying again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] finsmaniac02:
I have this problem too... its bad on stock also.

Was looking into it and some people say that google doesn't allow High Res photo sync with facebook anymore? Relationship between google and facebook is getting shaky or something...

There is an app called "haxsync" that is 99 cents that I used on stock. It's another account you have to sync and it appears with Sense that you have to manually change the pic in the contact (edit contact, tap the pic in top right, pick the haxsync one) in order to get it. It is much higher res and looks much nicer.

HOWEVER... (and I think I read this somewhere before I flashed to Viper rom also, but don't know where, sorry) even haxsync is not giving me higher quality now on viper rom. I don't know why, but it really bugs me....

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I don't really want to start an argument on it. I disagree that it should be automatically added into a ROM just because 'it's the way it's always been'. If that was a valid argument we'd still be using flip phones. ;)

HTCLinkify Fix (Remove the Apple Patent Infringement Workaround)

Ok folks, here it is...note that this is ViperROM specific. If you flash on another ROM you chance messing up whatever build.prop edits your ROM dev added in.

htclinkifychange.zip:

This ONLY changes build.prop to add in the changes required to put back the old 'choose your app association'. I've tested on my phone with ViperROM 1.2.1 and it works fine. I was able to clear defaults, tap a link, and have it give me the option of what software to use.

Note that this appears to reset all associations to defaults. You might have to clear out the default for Internet, for example, to get it to give you a choice of what to use for URLs.

/settings/menu/apps/Internet/clear defaults

I am including a revert zip (htclinkifychangerevert.zip) as well in case anyone wants to go back to ViperROM defaults without reflashing the whole ROM.

This also resets the defaults associatiations.

I have tested both zips and they both work as they should. If you have any issues let me know.

Note: Both scripts clear cache and dalvik-cache, so boot is going to take a while. But I didn't see any FC's or issues as was reported in the thread this stuff came from, so I assume that fixes the problem.

Hey Viper, if you like you can put these and the format/wipe scripts I did in the OP. :)

Thanks to SteelH for the build.prop edits and to iconeo for starting the original thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] diestarbucks:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
because of the legality aspects, why should a dev put himself at risk, whereas an individual can do what he or she wants.

and didn't i see that removing the apk does affect something else ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] doitda:
You won't so much when your android phones have always streamed video from the internet, and then all of a sudden you can't because of the app associations incomplete workaround.

Or if you don't, if you ever want to, you can't.

The incomplete app associations prevent successful passing off of video streams to video players. For example RMC will pass off the stream info to your default video players specified in App Associations, but the app opens and then instantly closes.

After build.prop changes this functionality works as intended.

Bottom line is the app association function implemented by HTC prevents passing off of app functions that are natively intended to happen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
That too. :)

Again, I don't want to start a war over this. You have your opinions, and I have mine. I made the zips, they work, anyone can use them. I disagree with making them a default part of the ROM...but it's not my ROM and it's up to Viper and Vin what they do. If they want it changed, they will. It's not like I'm going to leave the ROM over it. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
So here's a non-ROM related question, but someone here can probably answer it.

Am I the only getting an HTC disclaimer on the splash screen at every boot (White HTC screen).

Something to the effect of:

"This is a development release. Do not distribute without the express consent of HTC or we will kill puppies in front of crying children."

not sure about the puppies part, but the rest is there. Is that a side-effect of doing the HTC unlock? I had HBOOT 1.4 on my Evo 3D so I never used it before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimlightner:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I'm getting the same message. Usually it's only when booting into recovery but sometimes i'll get it when going into the rom.

I had both hboot 1.4 and 1.5 and the short time when I was dev unlocked on 1.5 it never showed that message.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Yeah I noticed it ALWAYS happens coming out of recovery, and occasionally happens on a normal reboot. Interesting. And that didn't happen on the Evo3D HTC unlock? Weird. Wonder if that's something new. I don't remember it before I installed TWRP, so I'm wondering if it's TWRP related, or just standard for this unlocker.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkout01:
Battery life seems pretty good and speed of ROM seems good as well. I hate to say it but stock was already so smooth and fast I dunno how we are going to be able to tell the differences w/o total benchmark testing.

Thanks Viper great work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Funny that you say this, I noticed this earlier as well. Vin, wasn't there more available memory stock on the 3D??

Likely because the Market updates and restarts. Like others, I never let it auto restore. Takes too long with my apps, I just use titanium backup.

You need to unlock via HTCdev to get recovery.

Sorry, left the computer at the girls house. Need to update the first few posts. Type su, hit enter, type vc. Should pop right up.

Details please. Did you wipe data when you installed the ROM? How have you been using it? Any wakekocks in BetterBatteryStats, etc.

Lol, yeah. I think it comes from having an unsigned partition, happens after you flash recovery. I guess the bootloader checks and assumes its a development build if recovery isn't signed? That's my best guess.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Just as an FYI, I didn't say (ever) that my opinion was the only one that matters. Of course it isn't. And I said multiple times that it wasn't my call whether it became default with the ROM or not. I even went to the trouble of creating flashable zips for it for people who wanted it 'right now'.

I'm not entirely sure why you seem to have such an attitude with me over it, but whatever. It hurts no one to make the changes manually, and keeps the devs out of trouble with Apple. Whether you agree with that patent infringement ruling or not (I don't, for the record) the point is that it IS a patent infringement based on the decision of a court of law. Like it or not, the 'original' way is illegal to be distributed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I see benefits to both sides. On one hand, the new method gives you one common place to make your associations. It's a step in the right direction, but it's lacking. Not all elements are there. For example, when opening map type urls, sometimes I want to open them in maps, other times in the browser, and occasionally in yet another app. With the hack, I lose the ability to change most of these associations from one place. It would be nice if some associations were fixed, while other prompt you. Otoh, association wise, android now functions as designed.

Distributing a rom with this functionality disabled is simply a CYA type of thing. We now have a simple fix for it, and users can apply it as they see fit.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lc3necro:
On an overall ROM development note, does anyone know if anybody has put thought or effort into the camera button waking the phone and taking the phone directly into the camera app? This was something I had personally read on an endgadget review, and was disappointed to see lacking. As of right now, stock & rooted & viperROM all share the following:

The camera button does not wake the phone.

If you have the camera app on your Sense dock you can enter the camera through the lock screen.

If you have a security lock in place, you may still access the camera without a PIN. However - if you burst shot you must enter the PIN / unlock pattern to review the shots. If you take single pictures you can take as many as you want, however clicking on the gallery prompts for the password / pin etc.

What I would love, and I have to think I am not alone, is adding in so that the camera button wakes the phone and will act out the same role as adding the camera option to the Sense dock.

Thoughts?
