My Venom hub is Completely empty; no themes, icons... nothing! Also I cannot choose the circle battery icon that everyone seems to be using. Any help/ideas? I also had the same issue when trying to restore my apps via My Backup Root i. e. it stopped halfway through restoring.

Apart from these so far so good. Very smooth and quick. Thanks!

Guess there is. I will know because I am checking every couple of hours :D Thanks for the heads up
[HTC Incredible S] thoufiq72:
This is how I implemented all the steps as you have suggested :)

1. Long pressing on build.prop in a file explorer(ES file manager) did not pop up the properties bar, but instead it just opens with the ES note editor.(so that is a bummer) :o

2. I found the original build.prop from the ROM as you suggested and I opted for the second method, i.e., copied to my sdcard and copy/paste to /system(replaced the build.prop)

3. Then Rebooted the device.

Issue Resolved(only issue with the cam would be the snaps during the camcorder session freezes the cam app)

:victory: Graci'as Amigo :) .

The new Issues that has poped up after patching,

1. Venom Tweak ain't responding mate(so is the venom hub). :(

* When You asked me to reflash the ROM as the third option, did you mean like Flashing over the current ROM???
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Good to know it worked :)

Maybe wipe cache and dalvik. What's not working? And the hub is down atm

Yeah I meant just flash without wiping but I guess it doesn't matter now

Battery mods are on the hub lol you'll see them when the hub is back online

The one I am using is conveniently linked in my signature :D the one in my streenshots is Infected Venom

install like a regular apk and it will show up in venom tweaks under status :)
[HTC Incredible S] thoufiq72:
wiped cache and dalvik. Following would be the issues,

1. Venom tweak ain't responding. clicking on it only takes me to the home page.

2. Cam seems good(minor issue would be the snap while recording a video and the snapped gallery thumb nails seems stripy).

ll let you know if anything else comes :)

Thanks for the assistance mate. :angel:
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Do you mean when you press on the tweaks, it crashes? What about when you press menu on the homescreen and enter that way? If its crashing you might have to go settings and clear venomtweaks.apk data

Yeah the photo while taking video doesn't work on any device WVGA Venom.

No problem :)

Venom tweak is not working even after clearing the data in settings....

may be some problem.

Also I have flashed nik camera patch on this ROM..... but i want to say that camera picture quality is not so good.... do you have any suggestion here......

Cam Issue Resolved!!!

Re-flashing the ROM over only takes us back to the default (previous) stage. So I replaced the build.prop of nik's cam patch with the original build.prop and flashed the modified patch from recovery and Wolah. The Issue is resolved and the tweaks still works :cool:

Thanks for your assistance mate :) :) :)

Been using this ROM now for a while and its very stable. The only issue I've found is only ONCE, my flashlight came on randomly and wouldn't turn off without a restart. Also, been running Google Now M7_Online without issue. Battery life is stable and mod works great. No other issues to report. Best ROM out there!!!

gps problem

Been using this rom for a couple of days now.

Love the rom and the tweaks are amazing :)

But unfortunately I've encountered a bug with gps mentioned a couple of pages ago.

When I turned gps on for the first time it worked, then after turning it off and on again it doesn't work anymore.

A reboot usually lets me activate gps again but not always, sometimes cache+dalvik wipe does the trick.

I tried a full wipe (including sd) before installing viper and it still happens.

Rebooting before using gps is a deal breaker for me so I'll be using a different rom until this is addressed.

I'll happilly repeat this bug and post any helpful logs/info if needed. just pm me with some basic steps on how to do this.
[HTC Incredible S] thoufiq72:
The GPS works fine at all time mate. The only reason that the GPS won't work is if you had Flashed the ROM by choosing wrong locality, as in, while flashing the ROM, you would be asked which region (Asia, South America, etc). There you have to select your region correctly. It is clearly mentioned that if you choose the wrong region, your GPS may not function properly. So try flashhing the ROM with correct procedure as indicated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Don't forget to thank me if I was able to resolve your issue ;)
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
This is wrong. Ive reflashed the Rom twice to check. Yet, my GPS still takes forever to connect - 5 mins plus.
[HTC Incredible S] blu3zy:
I live in israel so Im not sure what my locality should be :)

I tried north america, europe and asia but the problem still happened.

I don't think its related to locality.

The gps works perfect the first time, then the second time the gps icon doesnt even apear in the status bar...

Edit:

Also, there's no problem with speed of connectivity. when it works it finds a lot of satelites and gets my location in less than a minute.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Absolutely no issues with GPS.

I am quite hopeless with directions so i have to use GPS navigation and it has not failed me once.

I used 'Faster Fix' from the market to get connected quickly & it works smooth.

Btw, why do you need to turn off GPS?

Leaving GPS on does not consume any extra battery charge
[HTC Incredible S] thoufiq72:
Then I ve no idea what it could possibly be man. Mine works fine. report it to mark and nits, they might help you resolve the issue :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
What exactly are you guys doing to test gps? Like, what app etc?

Sent from my Infected ViperVivo
[HTC Incredible S] thoufiq72:
I gez he probably used google maps or some other gps navigation app. The dude says that GPS worked in the beginning but not anymore. Thought it would be the regional selection from ROM flash.:) He is from Israel and Dunno his region. I reckon it to be Asia. Another user(vizzy) faces similar issue and his report is "my GPS still takes forever to connect - 5 mins plus" . Anyway, if you have any suggestion, let 'em know. :)
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
There's an app called 'GPS test' or something like that by Chartcross (i think)

Turn it on, it shows you how many satellites you connecting to...

Use 'faster fix' and then again try the test, you'll see an improvement for sure

[HTC Incredible S] blu3zy:
I used gps test and faster fix when i had this problem to try and analyze what was causing it.

On the first time activating gps, after boot or cach+dalvik wipe, it would work excellent.

gps test would show plenty of satelites and would get my location very fast (20 seconds most of the times).

Then after turning gps off and on again, even without exiting gps test, i wouldnt get any sattelites reception.

The weird part is that usually when gps is on there is a status bar icon for it.

The first time activating gps it would be there but afterward turning it off and on it wouldn't appear anymore.

It's like turning the gps on would do it logically but not physically.

So the system thinks its on but it actually wasn't.

That's what it looks like to me...

Note - I flashed blackout rom for now and there's no such problem. so it looks like its viper rom related.

I'll try and download the rom again, or run a checksum check against mine.

It's a long shot but maybe something was wrong with the download...

EDIT - checksum matches

Any one tried flashing Redux 0.8 to fix minor bug on hotpot??
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
This ROM is awesome. Tweaks are amazing and customibility is out of this world. Only issues are that when using multicon the apps are not aligned, read through the section though and realize this is a known issue, and the ROM is very laggy. Takes a long time to get to the phonepad and make a call, get to the camera etc. I have no abnormal apps installed, just the usual. Apart from that, it's sh*t hot :thumbup: Thanks guys

I'm getting sense reloading on me quite regularly, but have NEVER attempted editing the build prop before. I've tried using ADB in the past with no luck. Is it advisable to use the build prop editor app on the market? It has ro.HOME_APP_ADJ with a 0 underneath it. Should I replace the 0 for a 1 or actually do as Cyb0rgz says and add in =1 after ADJ? Does "#Force launcher into memory" also have to be added?

Hey Guys!

If you want to thank the guy who started this all J4n87.

Please go to the following thread.

you don't have to write your own post, thanking any of the posts mentioning J4N87 is also good!

I know Jan does not live in the US so he will not be able to get the device,

Stil I think he deserves the recognition!

Also, some of you might no know this, but J4n87 otherwise known as Jan is the one who started the PKMN rom, and team, which later got rebranded to the Venom team, with their great Viper roms!

- Read my post in the mentioned thread for all the info ;)

My post to thank them is on the first page.

Also: I don't live in the US either, so I won't be able to receive the device either ;)

I don't need it and I don't really care about it..

P.S. Maybe Jan will come back with some more awesomness when he sees the great support ;)

i think its pretty obvious what jan has meant to team venom and viperRom development across all platforms, he and m0narx are always credited first and thanked profusely

however, jan has decided to refocus his time away from xda and android development, and we all respect that decision

it would be nice to have him back on board one day, but it wont be anytime soon, and the team has reorganized accordingly
[HTC Incredible S] Cyb0rgz:
Yes, you need to add the value 1 as i said in my earlier post.

You can use rom tool box lite app from market to take backup and edit build.prop files. They provide some easy ui to edit build.prop.

As others clarified, anything prefixed by # means the comment line, which is ignored by android os. Its defined to add some description about the code used for references.

and what is difference between sense 4.1/4.5/4+
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
How long since you flashed the rom/kernel? If its not properly calibrated, it can do things like that. Give it a few cycles if that's the case. Mine never jumped overnight, only on reboots

Sense 4.1 is for ICS

Sense 4.5/4+ is mostly the same but slightly redesigned for the JB ui eg. statusbar

4.5 was the leaked version of 4+, they are the same. The official name when it was released is 4+

Go to Venom tweaks, sense, icon, and select default icon if you want your device to have the default icons. If not, download new icon set from the venom hub and do the same.

GPS works fine as long as you don't turn it off. If you turn it off, it won't turn back on unless you do a full reboot. I just leave it turned on in quick settings and whichever app you use will turn it on and off anyway.
