Working well so far.

But the kernel still the problem on this rom. % battery decrease by 1 every minute. This morning, I was reading the news for 20 mitnutes, goes to 100 (just unplugged) to 80%. But it hang to 70%. I did flash my battery stats.

Anyway, wasn't the first time that happened.

I always use this kernel, witch I dont remember where I found it. 3.0.50-virtuous-Neo2SHYAlien-gb5adb55-dirty.

I think is an OLD version from the thread " kernel with more governor". I always have good battery life with this one.

smartassv2 , I/O sio.

And this is the perfect rom. A lot of features (too much :)) , and the nav button backlight is fixed, finally. With seeder, it makes it very usable. Love it, thanks

Lost my g2, now on one X. Really miss the adventure of flashing something that is way out of your devices reach. Have fun boys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mecmatt:
thumps up!

Just thought I should share my experienses with this rom and I have to say, superior! Because this is a full sense ROM it uses alot of RAM but that can be fixed by removing some pre-installed apps. And I've removed alot of them, including friendstream and even chosed to not install all the different lockscreens. I've basicly made the full sense rosie to lite rose but with landscape support which I think is important to have on this device. Therefor this ROM runs exellent whithout any swapps-scripts and OC to 1.2GHz. Absolutly amazing! A very fast and exellent ROM without any lag at all! In my experienses, with some personal tweeking this is the perfect ROM for this device if you are like me and just can't stay away from HTC:s sense :D

I love all the options and tweeking this ROM brings, you guys deserves alot of credit and all my thanks for bringing this awsome ROM to our device! I can just wonder how many hours of coding you guys must have put in this, good work!

very good rom,thank you !

Where is the v2.2.0 link ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.weber:
I flashed this from CM10, because I had given up on any Sense 4 ROM because of it's lagginess. I have to say, I'm impressed. With full Rosie (more on that*) a few apps removed, the turbo charge and CPU at 1.2GHz max, there is almost no lag and things work just right. Even with all the 3D effects of the full Rosie. Just a thing to state, IDK if I did something wrong but *the option to install lite Rosie didn't work for me, I flashed twice with that option ticked in Aroma and it was the full Rosie (I did wipe). But anyhow, this ROM is AWESOME, if not the best for the Z i have ever used (and believe me, I have used many).

Congratulations, and mainly THANK YOU for making an old device more modern and compelling. :D

Downloaded ROM via link in post #2

Happy from trying so far, but it is version 2.0

Am I correct that there is a version 2.2?

Where to find? Can somebody provide a copy?

Thanks,

If I am correct that link is not ported over to our devices, it would be very likely to have alot of bugs, FC and thats if it would even boot. I may be wrong, and if so plz correct me.

I am installing the 2.0 rom now, always loved viper set of Roms seems really fast after I add my swap and edit my oom (thank you jrummy and your memory management program) it is zooming fast even as a sense 4.1. I do have one question tho.

Does this rom/kernel have the power drain and get hot with headphones plugged in?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxPG_PHANTOMxX:
No . They didn't happen with the 3.0.5 virtuous kernel . cheers:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SmIzUrF:
Well I seem to be not able to remove system app so i'm not sure if it is mounting as r/w
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lms24:
Just to clear clarify the version issue: I ported viper2.2.0 from DHD to DZ and called it ViperZ 2.0.

So although nitsuj renamed the thread to 2.2.0, the most actual version for DZ is 2.0.

I hope that all confusions are cleared.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMTREX:
Thanks for the clarification. I already flashed it, all good so far! Now need to tune...

Don't want to loose my phone with keyboard. This seems to be an excellent option.

too small letters in Russian. on other Rom letters much larger. How to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
It was obvious. If we compare the 2.2.0 change log from desire HD thread, we can say that most of the new features were in this DZ rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lovok:
Currently best Desire Z ROM.

Only one bug I found so far is problem with Mail Widget (the version with one email on whole screen, the other ones with email lists are ok), which is not displaying email body in any email.

Also, I'm personally missing the ability to control ZRAM/Swap in Tweak App. As by default, ZRAM is enabled in this ROM, I've disabled it by hand and enabled swap on 256MB SD swap partition, which works better by my subjective observation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] greed2:
the display resolution is more?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] akafaze:
This is the best rom I have used on my G2 by far. I loved sense but it was always too laggy and a battery drain for me. I like AOSP but its too basic for me, I like how sense looks and feels. This rom has no lag, and actually feels like it has longer battery life than Andromadus. Amazing job, this rom just made my old phone everything I ever wanted on it!

ViperDHD has been updated to 2.3.0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1960734
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SShadowXX:
This ROM rocks!!! :)

Has only one question though.,, under venum tweaks menu, after I've adjusted the cpu max to 1200mhz, then clicking Apply settings on boot.

After a reboot, seems that CPU Max does not apply my last setting value which is 1200mhz, instead its fallback to 1000mhz.

The IO Scheduler and CPU Governor settings works though..

Or its is actually there, and it is not only loaded onBoot?.. :confused:

I have a weird problem. whenever I play music after a few minutes it starts to skip tracks! I couldn't find the issue yet. anybody get that?

I'm using VZ 2.0 but I had it in 1.1 too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lms24:
Never had an issue like that. Did you do a full wipe? If no, flash it again with a full wipe.

Concerning the update for DHD: I'm of course interested in porting it, but I've given my DZ to a friend of mine, until he gets a new phone. So I can't test builds myself. Would anyone want to test some builds? If yes, please PM me.

I didn't start working on it, yet since I had and still have many exams in school but I may have some time next weekend.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aryank:
I did a little digging and i found out it's a very common problem for non-htc headphone users. It's because of headset buttons It messes with htc sense music player.I just don't know why happend after 3 years. so no worries I'm using Poweramp.but still I like sense music player's interface :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
I just turned to this ROM as a daily driver based on the positive feedback in this forum. However I experience the same I had with other roms: one of the main functionalities of a phone doesn't work: getting called. Whenever I get a call (and I tested this from another phone) the phone doesn't show the incoming call at all, it shows it, but only with the green logo in the status bar, it shows it full screen without the phone ringing or it does what it should do but only after the call got disconnected.

It seems as if the phone is simply too busy handling the call event. This is with Viper 2.0 Z, updated kernel (3.0.50 see some posts before), io=sio, gov=smartass v2, min=576, max=1200.

Why oh why... is this happening. ... is noone else reporting this... I fear that I have to get back to the stock rom of this phone or simply buy a new one...

F
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
wow, my incoming calls are instant!

everyday I'm surprised how this sense rom is fast on this device.

First I would disable zram. In the root : etc / int.qcom.post_boot.sh

open it and edit the lines start by " enable ZRAM " to "fi" and add some # in front of all lines.

After, you may check your radio version, it might be old.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nitsuj17:
Just as a heads up, i am closing viperZ as the wvga devices are starting to wind down (imo) and i dont have the phone so i feel awkward having a thread i dont support properly :o

we have opened up Team Venom to new developers with our Venom Developer Application.

Any developer interested in possibly becoming the device maintainer for team venom on this device should apply there, and best of luck.

EDIT: by request i reopened the thread for discussion/community help, rom is still discontinued as of now...so please do not ask for updates/eta's are there are none :P

if things get way off track i will re-lock the thread, thank you

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
this one is very fast for a sense rom.

Otherwise, most of the non-sense recent roms are pretty fast and stable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] abhi-xiaomi-1s:
can i enable Navigation Bar on this rom? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arunal_123:
As stated by demkantor in another thread, no it is not easily possible to enable Navigation bar by just changing some values in build.prop or anything.

Just Google, how to enable or something like that.

Perhaps you'll get something.

Actually to enable you need to decompile framework-res.apk and change some values. This is the case for CM ROMs. I don't know much about how to for sense ROMs.

Just Google around. Read more.

Since DZ/G2 has soft keys, this was not necessary, so this was omitted.

But for cases like yours (softkey not working), you'll have to try and do it by yourself.

Thanks...

on theming

hey guys!! Great rom!! One question/request though... i was following the tutorial for theming, but the rosie_theme.apk has the icons with the red theme... i was wondering if you could upload a rosie_theme.apk with the original icons, since i'd like to theme those (or let me know how can i get them for myself and i'll gladly do so.

Thanks and sorry for any inconviniences!!

Coldsun15

Edit:

PD: if i take the icons from a sense 3.5 rom (from the framework-res.apk), would they work?? or would there be framework issues (or something)??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nitsuj17:
afaik there is no stock theme.apk, we usually use the red venom as an example...though you could check the ViperX or ViperS thread, they might be (i havent look in awhile)

the icons from wherever you get them are fine, as long as they are named and sized properly and you follow the rest of the instructions
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coldsun15:
Any ideas what the correct sizes would be?

Thanks

Coldsun15
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ludidzora:
No, no, no ... I did not mean to criticize. I just wanted to say what I observed. I agree that the ROM is perfect, and I have not tried any faster Sense 4.1 rom. Can we expect this to improve in the near future?

I've flashed this rom after full wipe and I've got to say, that I'm a little bit disappointed.

Viper design could be useful and nice looking on bigger screens, desire Z / vision is not one of them ...

Even if I checked to install HTC skin - I'm not able to switch to that

Battery drain is after one day testing about 30% higher than CM9 (4.0.4 android) ROM and also higher than GenY-VisionX rom

System responses are slow, the system itself is freezing ...

At this point I'm not able to use this as a daily ROM. I'm looking forward to another releases, but there is quite a space for improvement.

Thank you for your job anyway :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nitsuj17:
what does that mean exactly? the wallpapers? the skin? the status bar skin? thats extremely vague, and viperSAGA which is nearly identical looks fine on a 3.7 inch screen for those guys (havent heard that complaint

be specific, otherwise its white noise

ive not heard of any issue where you could go back to stock skin, across all the support wvga devices prior to this

after you wipe data and flash a new rom it takes a few charging cycles for battery to calibrate properly and get optimal battery usage....one cycle is not a good way to gauge

are "lite" sense roms going to be more responsive/faster? yes of course...theyre less resource intensive

for using the full rosie and widgets, this is pretty good however...you can manually tweak the minifree settings in venom tweaks, to try and find the sweet spot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyber-mythius:
No problem with the wallpaper nor with the boot animation (which is pretty cool :)). What I personally dislike the most are small icons (application icons, not on the main screen).

But for the visual side of this rom - this is just my personal opinion. I like much more clear and functional design over fancy colorful one.

ok - no problem than. I just wanted to point out, that the battery drain is higher than what I've experienced before even right after flashing different ROM.

I get this. At this particular device I would suggest you to add aroma option (if the installer is able to do so) and let user choose in something like "speed over functionality installation" or "full viper functionality while loosing some system speed".

Also I have found that multitasking isn't possible for this Rom, because I can't use more than 2 apps ... I have supercharged and "pimped" my Rom ...

too many widgets and apks would need to be duplicated to have that option (lite widgets and full widgets arent compatible)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olobex:
My findings so far on 1.0.

- nice install

- nice first use

- great tweaks

- uses zram as swap

- extremely great rom

- but becomes so awfully slow in daily use, not usable for me.

I think that zram on our device is not a good idea.

I did not yet try to disable zram swap and use regular swap, but I will probably do so later on.

I am back to Android Revolution R4 for now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyber-mythius:

b) what about creating 2 different zip files for each version?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magikstar:
for me using zram swap is better than using sdcard swap (slower access time)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ineedone:
Good ROM fully working :)

Very nice venom tweaks

But...

De-installer does not remove the apps it should, had to remove htc car, locations, friends and some others still manualy. Wheater widgets where removed but didn't select those.

Somethings get really slow. (startups/ executions of some programs

Would like to try this rom with normal swap. ( how can i switch to this) Think zram makes it slower and maybe drains the battery..?

Still think this is the most complete sense rom. Got the best of gen.y and sense revolution.

Battery drain must be improved for daily use

Thanks for this rom. Keep on doin the good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
well remover isn't to necessarily remove parts of sense to de-bloat the sense part of the rom. Its just trying to uninstall some major apps that some people use and others don't. if you want to remove a lot of the apps that eat up your ram from htc you will want to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050283
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magikstar:
i don't think zram cause any issues with the battery.

we can't talk about battery drain when we have installed the rom for any hour.

wait after 2 or 3 full cycles of charge and discharge and then we can say if there's battery drain or not
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ineedone:
Thanks will look into this thread. :)

But maybe the deinstaller can be improved, it's just a little critic to help on some "happy flashing" improvement ;)
