Yeah I meant the ROM plus the kernel. After flashing you need to do a couple of initial charge cycles, which means this: flash the ROM, let it discharge to 10-15%, charge fully, discharge to 10-15%, charge fully, repeat. Then let it settle in for a few days before commenting on the battery life.

This is the first report of that problem. Are you coming from a different ROM or are you upgrading from Viper 3.2.8? Take a moment to review the detailed initial install instructions I provided here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1868236&page=1710 did you hit all the steps?

If you've corrupted your system files during the install, you may have to delete the contents of your /sd card. And do a clean install. The instructions for that are provided here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1868236&page=1698 Both process are pretty much the same, except on an initial install you don't need to wipe the SD card.

What ever you do,

DO NOT

wipe the /System partition on the WIPE menu page of TWRP!

Why not bob? I wipe the system partition every time i do a full wipe? Just do advanced wipe from twrp and check all but sd card..then install rom. Odds are very low u corrupted your sd card anyway.

Anytime you are coming from another rom or another version of a rom, you ALWAYS need to do a full wipe!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I agree. Plus it's specifically stated in the install instructions at the beginning of this thread that if you're coming from a different ROM or different base you need to select wipe system in the installer.

Anyone flashing Viper 4.0 is coming from a different base. A different ROM is a different base, and even if you're coming from Viper 3.x you're still coming from a different base.

Turge has stated himself on post #16043 that a full wipe is required, a full wipe includes cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system. Whether you wipe via TWRP or not, you're still required to use the wipe option in the Viper aroma installer.

Bob, I know you're trying to help in this thread but the information you're giving is incorrect. It's common knowledge that when you're flashing a new ROM or coming from a different base a full wipe is required, this is a common requirement regardless of what ROM you're flashing.

I happen to go by the four wipes rule lol cache, dalvik, factory, and system maybe even an extra cache after everything lol. It Runs smooth every time lol you never know what the previous rom had left behind. As for sd I just go through it and delete any folders or app data left from the previous versions before I tibu my apps and def without data. Unless it's like slots or something that you can't get back the levels but nothing serious.

Just wanted to say thank you for this awesome ROM and thank you Turge for all your hard work and everyone else. I came from MagioRom (another great Rom) and was really afraid to flash this Rom because I was scared to S-Off and flash the firmware and a lot of people were complaining about problems, so I followed Bobs step step guide on installing this Rom and it's working perfectly, and EXTREMELY fast. No lags or stutters or hangs at all.

Thankfully I was able to restore my SMS too (glad that worked perfectly cause I have lots of messages with my girlfriend) and I fixed the low At&t signal by using the toggle in Venom Tweaks Misc as suggested. Im running on the stock kernel, firmware 2.15 and haven't experienced any data drops or anything so no need to flash Zarboz's kernal so far.

Thank you once again, and I will buy a Venom key when I get the chance :)

To that end, I will modify my instruction sets to be more clear and specify that the user is to select "Full Wipe" in Aroma Installer while installing the ROM.

As for my instructions being "incorrect", I suppose all of the happy users who've posted that they followed them and they worked perfectly must be doing something wrong! LOL!;)

As I've stated, the instruction sets I've posted are geared toward noobs. Advanced users obviously don't need to follow them.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

As an advanced user, you can do what ever you want. My instructions are geared toward new users who may not have your level of expertise. Besides, when installing the 4.0.0 ROM Aroma Installer does the full wipe of the system files so there is really no need to wipe system in Recovery. I will modify my process instructions to make this point more clear. I personally would prefer to trust Turge's programming to manage the system files then do it myself.

As for your opinionated assumption that my sd card was not corrupted: I made file restore mistakes after my initial install of 4.0.0. My /sd partition became corrupted

after

I had removed the zip files from it. It was reflecting that I only had 487 meg of free space when there should have been nearly 4 Gig, and as such would not let me copy the zip files back to it so I could re-flash the ROM. Fixing permissions in Tweaks, and rebooting multiple times did not resolve the issue, and I had to wipe and reformat the /sd partition, and use adb to push the ROM zip back to /sd so that I could reinstall.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pdj7969:
The umbrage we took with your instructions is that you implied that it is BAD to wipe System before installing a new ROM from a different base than the current ROM and to ONLY do it via Aroma.

Since Aroma does this for us, it is a bit of overkill, but as others have stated, this is standard procedure with installing new ROMs from a different base. Doing so does nothing more than double the work of our fingers, admittedly. I did it, Timmaaa does it, as have countless others. It's automatic in habit at this point. We're grateful that you took the reins and created a n00b-proof guide. It actually has cut down on the number of posts that usually follow a new release where someone comes in and just outright asks how to install the ROM, totally disregarding the OP or the Search tool. But that doomsday proclamation about wiping System struck us as wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yes, Turge has said that with this particular ROM you don't necessarily need to wipe system because the installer takes care of it. But wiping system through the TWRP wipe menu does exactly the same thing, therefore saying never to wipe system is incorrect.

Seeing that users are going to carry on any knowledge that they may pick up in this thread for use with flashing other ROMs, it's really not advisable to tell them not to wipe system because it's needed on basically every other ROM you flash.

Solution To Rapid Battery Drain After 4.0.0/4.0.1 Update

I recall that when 3.2.8 was first released, there were multiple postings regarding battery drain, and the same thing is happening now with the new 4.0.0 release.

I found this solution from HTC right after my 3.2.8 install, and it worked!

It only needs to be done once, every time you update to a new ROM. I'm in the middle of it right now! Can't believe I forgot about it!

Can you add the ability to control voltages lower than 950 mV in venom CPU control. ElementalX allows lower and I love using built in Venom tweaks.

Also I want to bug you about the Emoji messaging support again. That's all I really cared about when I mentioned AOSP messaging because now HTC messaging actually supports true group messaging, Maybe this should actually be a development request to HTC though. I'll email them and see what they say.

Hi guys.

So since 4.x, my GPS has been acting up a little. My location is always a bit jumpy when using navigation. Is there a recommended radio and/ril? I think I've noticed a drop in WiFi performance also, aswell as it being inconsistent.

From what I've read, most people are reinstalling but I've always tried to avoid that if there could be other fixes.

Lastly, is there a way to wipe battery stats in recovery? I haven't had too much experience yet with TWRP. My phone shuts off well before it gets to 0% and starts skipping % dramatically when bellow 10%

Thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oranget:
Try using Waze for an alternate gps. Try the latest t-mobile germany radio and leave ril alone. No need to wipe battery stats, just fully charge your phone to 100% and battery stats are automatically reset.

@turge

I confirm that Venom SD Manager is working after changing kernel to latest ElementalX.

So far I tried it only on Mac but should work fine on PC.

For those wondering this is a Team Venom app that allows connecting phone to PC as a mass storage.

The app "VenomSDManager.apk" is not included in 4.1.0, has to be copied manually to system/app/ and reboot.

Open ViperXL-3.2.7.zip If you don't have it, it can be downloaded from page 1 of this forum.

Go to ViperXL-3.2.7.zip/System/app on your computer

Copy VenomSDManager.apk to your phone's SD Card. Then use File Manager (with R/W enabled in Tweaks) to move it to \system\app\ or push with adb to the same location.

This file is for connecting your phone to your PC as a mass storage device.
