Only on the inside
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I haven't tried wiping or flashing with a different recovery.

Is everyone having this problem using 4ext recovery?

When I get an opportunity I'll try CWM. Which version are you using/where did you get the image?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Just latest one installed through ROM manager
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 9zeronine:
I have tried all three
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
OK maybe some light. All was going fine then I installed solidexplorer beta and it started freezing. Promptly uninstalled and is fine again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] studpuppy102:
I found after installing viper I had either data or system still mounted in my clockwork recovery unmounted and full wipe fix permission and now I'm back on aeros cm 9 with no lag if anyone would like to try that
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Yeah kickass back to bootlooping after a whole night of running perfectly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
could it be possible that our Hboot has been corrupted? I'm on Hboot 6.13.1002......what is everyone else on? Does anyone know how to re-install Hboot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
I'm on 002 also. I have no idea if that's possible to get corrupted. And highly unlikely that a ton of us would have it happen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
It was just a thought.....you'd have thought we could narrow this down somehow!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
The new miui build is giving me the same maxed out cpu issues. Ready to just slam this phone against the wall. Pretty convinced that our phones are completely ****ed up and there's nothing we can do about it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Hey man, I was running Viper for a bit, and it got really laggy too. Now I'm back on CS's CM7 V1.5 and I really couldn't be happier. Runs great, fully functional, everything I need and want really, except Google Now. I can OC, UV and take video.

Come back to the GingerBread House!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Me no likey cm7. If I give you my address will come and bludgeon me to death?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Not even with a launcher, like Holo or GoLauncher?

And, I won't need to bludgeon. I'm a medic. I don't need to waste all that energy, just give me a paper clip and a gum wrapper :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Cool sounds good. I'll PM you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fen0m:
I'm finding myself doing a "clean install" on aroma launcher for viper every couple of roms I install. It formats system data cache as ext4 and seems to solve my problems with ics jb roms. Fyi MIUI4 is amazing

Sent from MIUI4
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
K here we go. New miui was ****ed up. Max cpu wiped formatted everything in 4ext same thing. Booted to recovery flashed viper Rom full wipe. When done pull battery. Boot to recovery. Choose format all but sd card partitions. Flashed new miui. Booted no high cpu no bootloops. This might work with cm10 obviously viper aroma script wipes our offending issue. Idk someone try it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LivingVicariously:
I just tried this with Aeroevan's latest CM9 build and it worked like a charm. CM9 booted right up, went right through setup without a hiccup, using it now without any lag. Good as new. Good find!

Now let's keep fingers crossed that it stays that way.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Fuk yeah! Always keep viper around.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Sounds like the same thing fen0m is saying over in the CM10 thread. I hope this actually works (better than the "fixes" we've seen so far)

If this actually works, we shouldn't need viper again, unless you want to run it of course.

If V is the problem and the solution (read whiskey) then the propblem shouldn't reocur unless you go back to the Vipe.

Please let us know if the fix stix for ya!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Well try it rev. Try cm10 that will be the proof.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fen0m:
Glad your back in action Eric. I'm sure you were just as frustrated as I was, took me 2 weeks to figure that one out
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
My brain can't take flashing cm10 right now. But Living flashed cm9, which I couldn't do too so I think we might have crushed this *****
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Having a newborn means I need to have a solid working phone pretty much all the time, and it has gotten to the point that my brain can't handle it either.

Really,I don't have the downtime available right now. Besides...

So far, it looks like it may not be the answer.

Viper updater script wipes system, data, cache,... Alignment.sh formats, aligns, and checks for errors, blk0p25(system)blk0p28(?)and blk0p29(?). Someone said that 4ext was set up to backup a new partition ie /system/lib, but I was under the impression that we don't have said partition due to the lack of an update from Verizon. The 4ext change log says that this new partition should now be automatically detected and I have no such options in recovery. I know almost nothing about android but digging through /dev files of cm9, viper, and ukb I'm pretty sure 179:** is partition designations of some sort. My thought is that something in the alignment.sh script in /tmp in viper is causing the issues but I have no idea what is being formatted. Thinking of pushing parted or something into/system to have a look unless anyone has an easier idea? I miss a good fstab file.

Edit: 29 is/devlog anyone know what is?

I did the jb v6 supercharger and its been running 2 days no issue. I'll get back if it starts lagging but I'm thinking once I hit the 1 week mark with no issues it'll be an official fix.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

if supercharging it works then theres probably something wrong with the services,jar file
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
My latest try at a fix......I noticed while running Viper that OTA update is default=ON. I don't remember it asking me if I wanted to update (I've been Rev s-off and rooted since Froyo), but thought maybe somehow I lost s-off....even though my bootloader says I'm still s-off. So, I thought I'd try flashing boot.img like those that did HTC unlock have to do.

Loaded and ran Viper for several hours. Extracted CM10 boot.img to root of my SD card. Opened 4ext app while still in Viper and flashed boot.img, then while still in 4ext installed CM10 zip (with wipe options given in 4ext install zip menu....I think it only wipes factory/data and cache/dalvik....not system). Rebooted into CM10 setup with no bootloop!!! YAY!!! Ran thru setup then booted into recovery, wiped cache/dalvik, and flashed Gapps. Fixed permissions and rebooted. Profit!!! So far!!!

Will update after I run for a while (fingers crossed!)

P.S. Also changed governor to InteractiveX (set on boot).....just for something different. 8 hours and still smooth and fast!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
I was thinking of doing that Zelmo. If I get the itch I'll do it. But I really like the new miui. Nice to have working camcorder and ffc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
I haven't run MIUI in a long time! Is the new version ICS or JB? Kinda surprised you're not having the bootloop lag issues on MIUI too! If my current fix doesn't work, I may have to try it! Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] d08speed3:
We still still have to flash Gapps and Aero Kernel?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
you dont NEED to though you could but after you flash this you should be able to flash any cm10/aosp rom again...seems to have fixed things permanently for me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 9zeronine:
I wonder if just the alignment.sh would do it. I couldn't get it to run in twrp terminal

Sent from my phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
if your talking about my zip...i used 4ext to flash the zip...its an aroma installer.. so for best results use 4ext

wipe all other then sd

run my zip

boot it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
If you guys are having issues with some ROMs after using another, then mabey a dev should make a SuperWipe Zip for the dinc 2. One that wipes data, system, and all other files we can't touch with recoveries.

Should have been made a while ago anyway
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
yea but they didnt lol this wipes formats and erases anything viper related on your device and the few files viper installs on your sd
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
Thanks! I'm still running on my fix mentioned earlier.....24 hours and so far so good. If I start getting lag again, I'll give yours a try and let you know!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
Not a problem just doing my part lol thanks for the input no i can continue to try n build PA such a pain in the dix
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 9zeronine:
No I mean the alignment.sh script that's run by the update.zip that formats to ext4 blk0p28,29 which are not partitions that are wiped by recovery, the update.zip is wiping the normal slices and alignment.sh is doing the new stuff. Still haven't figured out how to find partition labels. Can you work up an update.zip that just runs alignment.sh and extracts /tmp?

Sent from my phone which can't seem to find any information on android slice schematics. The tryptophan is making me sleeeeeeeepy.. .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
Here ya go as you requested...

http://d-h.st/399

It runs the 4ext alignment format located in the /tmp folder of the viper zip..THATS ALL IT DOES fyi its non aroma ...let me know if theres anything else u want added

if you have a ROM already loaded and you run this and try to boot into the rom it probly won't boot it as i tried just for the sh!t$ and giggles
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
Will we have to run this every time we load a JB Rom, or will running it once work as long as we don't run Viper again??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I still have, and tried a "SuperWipe" script (by Newt I think) from a long time ago. It did not help at all.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Going to try chillybean's Rom today. I'm sure it will work. So going forward I probably shouldn't restore my latest miui backup because it probably has parts of the viper virus in it. Right chilly?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
I tried this fix last night. I wiped everything but SD, and then flashed the ZIP. At first I also tried flashing 4.2 gapps. But when that didn't work, I re-did the process only flashing the antivenom zip. In both cases, CM10 booted, but was so laggy, I couldn't do anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Awesome!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
well i doubt its a virus lol...i done it n been able to flash between viper and cm10 with no problems in between since so i dont think ud hafta use it each time if it works for you.....

@ttupa : which did you try? antivenomv1? or the antivenom4extalign....when flashing use 4ext with latest build dont flash anything with it ...as for the 4extalign format i put up u need to wipe run the zip then reboot recovery then install your cm10...ps its not my rom :) all credits for the ROM goes to aeroevan scripting on the other hand :) lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tortuga:
Thanks Chilly... I only tried the full AntiVenom1 zip which includes CM10. I'm on 4EXT recovery and I just upgraded one version to the latest. I appreciate your work on this. I'm going to keep trying a few things, as I kind of want to try CM10 again. I've got a good backup of MIUI CDMA that I enjoy, but it would be nice to try something AOSP based.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
not a problem ;) im gonna work on a superduper wipe script shortly lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
My CM10 started lagging again after 1.5 days of running fine....so I guess my most recent fix of flashing the boot.img before the Rom doesn't work either! :( Think I'll wait for Chilly's new SuperDuper Wipe now. If it's SuperDuper.....it has to work! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
Hmm..so you tried my zip? With newest 4ext recovery? Also did u flash anything else after my zip? I'm working on my pa build so I'll be busy tonight so maybe tomorrow after noon I'll have something cooking

Does my CWM 4.01.4 (which I always use for backups and restores) backups work on 4exrt? How can I go back between 4ext and CWM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
Get 4ext flash the recovery as it directs flash my zip when your done if it works revert back to cwm

O yea to answer ur question yea backups should be cross compatible and to go back to cwm from 4ext look in the rom manager app and hit the flash recovery ..that'll flash cwm recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Well that was nice for 30 minutes... Guess
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] d08speed3:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] d08speed3:
OMG Got it to work!!!

Got 4EXT recovery, Flashed AntiVenom4ExtAlign zip, flashed AntiVenom zip booted up and works fine now!!!! Can't believe this and NO LAG!!!! The AntiVenom4ExtAlign really did it for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
The trick is.....will it hold! I've been able to get mine working, but after a while (can be hours or days) the lag returns. Please keep us updated! I tried just flashing the AntiVenom, without flashing 4ExtAlign, and got bootloops.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chillybean:
When I first flashed a/v fix I forgot to mention when it finished n there was no lag I kept the cm10 and let it settle in before flashing any other from...also for a bit I kept the CPU performance open to watch n see if it maxed out ...when I figured it was good I went flash crazy between viper n a bunch of other stuff n I'm still good...soon I'll be clicking away to help ya out ;)

Haha I just noticed that xda app shows its 255pm when i posted its actually 910am here lol silly app I should change my time zone haha

LMAO.......spoken in the words of a truly addicted flasher! Before Chilly posted the SuperDuper, I did a full wipe and then flashed the 4extAlign followed by the AV Rom.zip. Almost 24 hours and still running great! Rebooted several times without problems. Noticed when I first booted it up, even the default live wallpaper was smoother. Hoping this hangs in there, if not, I'll try the SuperDuper.

Many thanks to Chilly for figuring finding us a fix!!!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeayci:
I haven't tried going from sense to source, and I haven't experienced any of the issues described in this thread. I'm also still pretty much an Android and XDA noob, so please bear with me. I'm hoping this is relevant information in the correct location, but apologies if not. I saw chillybean's superduperwipe thread, and poked around a bit more to see what it was all about, and ended up here. So I know there's already a fix, and maybe this is moot. But I might have discovered another possible piece to the puzzle, so I want to share it in case it's helpful.

I just recently upgraded my recovery from CWM to 4EXT, and have been playing with the new tools and options available to me. :laugh: I used 4EXT to "check or correct md5sums" for each of my backups and noticed a funny thing. They were all fine, with the exception of my two Viper backups, both of which popped with the message that the md5sums don't match the file. All backups had been made with the same recovery on the same phone, so the only difference was the rom installed (well, and potentially other things like exactly which apps were installed at the time, but I don't think that ought to make a difference for this, right?).

Soooo... does that help at all in potentially figuring out the cause of the problem?
