Is there a way I can get my phone to prompt me for which email client I want to use when clicking an email link? Under settings in App Associations I have it set to the built in email.apk, however I can only change it to Gmail or another email client, I want to clear it completely so it will ask me. Right now I have to cut the email address and paste it into Gmail if that's what I want to use. I use the stock email app for my work Exchange account and Gmail for my personal email. I often work from my phone so I would like to find a way to have my phone prompt me for which account I would like to send from everytime I click an email address or mailto link. I have been trying to look for an app that can do it but haven't had any luck. Maybe Tasker could do it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
Unfortunately, due to the patent infringement case between apple and htc (which has now been resolved), htc was forced to switch to the 'app associations' style, but it was pretty poorly done and limited in what you could 'set'. This is no longer a case with newer versions of sense.

SIDENOTE: To any existing tester from venomroms.com. I posted in the "ViperDNA Beta Testers" thread of the beta forum for the droid dna. Please go there when you get the chance. Thank you.
[HTC Droid DNA] -4ndr01d-:
will the 2.0 have the aroma options/venomtweaks as well? or will this be a new base, starting from scratch and adding in tweaks as we go along and test?
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
The ROM we've been working on is based on Joelz 4.2.2 port from the Verizon HTC One. It has all/most of the tweaks you're familiar with, and much much more. I will note, that this build, once tested, will likely be put out on an as is basis, because afterall, it's based on a port. We much prefer to build from RUUs, but hell, we got bored. Whenever the beta is released, I'm sure nits or myself will have to clean up AROMA a bit, but it will be there.

I'm sure you get this a lot but, can I sign up to be a tester? And if so where? Haha thanks either way
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
We were going to rebuild the beta team since some people have moved on, and some people weren't very helpful during the previous testings. However, due to us basing this on a port, which means we are trying to get this out before the official update from htc/verizon, we decided to stick with the existing/remaining people for this. Maybe when we get the official update we will rebuild the team.

[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
In had this problem I think its from the recent Google search update. Its most likely location data services. I always kept GPS on and it wouldn't cause problems but now it needs to be off.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
Vin has done a ton of work on viperdna 2 and I think everyone will be pleased with the final result :) (and don't forget joelz's great work on the rom/kernel base we are using!)

Hopefully the beta team can narrow down issues quickly and this will be public sooner than later

Cuz sense is kind if boring without tweaks (imho) ;)

Sweet and that's no joke I love sense but it's all that much sweeter with some viper tweaks.

Thanks for your work it rocks....

I'd say "I'm salivating over your next big release" but I'm not confident on how that will be taken....
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
Just an update on the progress of the Sense 5 ROM. I just put out beta 2 to the testers. So far, few bugs have been found. Beta 2 fixed a few small bugs and added some aroma options. We're moving along nicely.

[HTC Droid DNA] phoenx06:
Nice! I've got an HTC One on T-Mobile as well and it makes me sad how far behind the DNA developement is as a whole compared to it (less kernel options for both AOSP and Sense, less updated ROMs, less ROM choices, etc.). Can't wait to get my DNA working just like my One that running Viper!
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
For a device that is only on one carrier we still have amazing devs, I don't mind waiting for something that's going to be amazing. I can't wait for Viper 2.0.
[HTC Droid DNA] firespitta:
Drop it!! Lol I can't wait!!
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Will the Blinkfeed toggle be another Viper 1st?!
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
Its unlikely to be in the unofficial sense 5 rom, but we'll see about the official one.
[HTC Droid DNA] antdog24:
I'm running PAC-MAN right now, no reason to run Sense 5 until Viper is out at this point. Any other version will be severely lacking in features. Waiting patiently.... :angel:
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
It won't be in 2.0.0 unfortunately due to lack of time we have to spend on it (again we ent to get this out before Verizon drops 4.3.on us and we go back to the drawing board)

We will make sure to get to it in future releases however
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
So this update should be rolling out really soon. :D

If so I bet us viper geeks could have his thanks meter to 50 thousands if need be haha.....thanks guys you rock

How do I go back to the stock kernel that came with viper DNA. I switch to crpalmer and I keep getting reboots non stop? Can anyone link me to the download or give me info on how to go back after installing a diffrent kernel?

[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Someone could correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can simply dirty-flash the Viper ROM.

the update

Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Update - Android 4.2.2/Sense 5 will come "by the end of the year" according to HTC.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Yeah that's disappointing but nothing we can really do about it. The update probably won't be any different then what we have had from newtoroot for months. Oh well this is why I use xda, we should all know by now we can't expect Verizon to keep us updated. At least we will have ports from the one so I'm sure we will stay up to date for a long time.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
It's very disappointing and makes the fact that we don't have 4.2.2 yet a travesty given that the reason they haven't given it to us was they were skipping it

If joel makes a solid 4.3 port then I'd imagine we could use that to update viperdna beyond 4.2.2

We will see...first things first, need to get out our next update
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
when this gets out of beta, y'all are going to love it! there's so many customizable options now! and it is rock solid with a few cosmetic bugs.

thanks to the viper team we wont have to wait til the end of the year :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] smokeinluke:
lol

The suspense is killing us sense is boring without those viper tweaks .....
[HTC Droid DNA] JeffBea:
Sense we're not getting a update anytime soon from HTC can you have a mod or something to exclude Blinkfeed. Love sense 5 but I hate Blinkfeed with a passion.
[HTC Droid DNA] rsims26:
Use Nits stock Sense 5...it eliminates blink feed. Very stable. Link below.

Chompin at the bit!

Who else is drooling for that next version of viper that we keep hearing about?

Nits/Vin any rough thoughts on when the beta might get released? Days? Weeks?
[HTC Droid DNA] rsims26:
From what I'm reading they are pretty far along in beta testing. What I like about Viper is they only release their ROM's when they're confident they are stable. So, short answer is once they are satisfied they have the bugs worked out, I'm sure we will see it, but not a moment sooner.
[HTC Droid DNA] cenobite138:
I can't say for sure but it should be soon, the bugs are few
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
We don't like to tie ourselves to etas as it never works out well for the devs or end users, but I would say we see closer to the end of beta testing than the start of it

ViperDna sense 5 is awesome though, I'm sure you guys won't be disappointed
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I need to get on this beta team next time around :D
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
Guys don't forget to follow the project (must be using the xda 2013 skin)

When the next update is available (no eta of course) it will be available a day earlier to those who are following the Rom project

When you follow the project you can see any *announcements at the top of the page that take you to links and posts not available to those who aren't following

Just a heads up :)

edit: how to follow project

on lower left side of xda is an option to change your skin/layout; it needs to be on xda 2013 to see devdb projects as they are meant to be shown

once you have switched to that, on the upper right side under the title is "follow project" and you ll be able to see an annoucement bulletin that would be the link to hidden changelogs or downloads
[HTC Droid DNA] pigeonxda:
Noob question, forgive my ignorance. When you say follow the project do you mean subscribing to this thread or something else?
[HTC Droid DNA] mkko:
No on the opposite side of the discussion and review bar, on the top of the page theirs a follow project option if ur using the 2013 skin
[HTC Droid DNA] pigeonxda:
THANKS!
[HTC Droid DNA] kenohki88:
Will these subscriber updates/progress/early downloads be visible through tapatalk app? I logged in via browser and followed as you described but in all honesty I hardly use log in via browser I'm on my handheld ALL the time. If visible only through browser guess I'll have to "open via web" periodically :cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I only use my phone so I guess I will get it a day late.
[HTC Droid DNA] smokeinluke:
follower

Ithink it was just referring to the xda app I think it would be fine on the browser on your phone!

Nits got me checksing the thread every ten min to see if the link is up haha
[HTC Droid DNA] kenohki88:
Yes I figured as much seeing that's how I subscribed using the web browser but either way I'll check via browser every once in a while using nits sense 5 ROM been great but I'm missing those venom tweaks and mods! Feeling like I'm waiting for Xmas morning HAHAHA :P
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
So just curious for those of you beta testing or maybe even the devs how's the battery life been so far on viper sense 5? Is it about the same as joelz or were there any battery friendly tweaks you guys did ?
[HTC Droid DNA] mobitote:
My ringtones reset after rebooting any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] fawkiPhone:
I want to be a beta tester!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Did you do a dirty flash or a clean flash when you flashed the rom?
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
It should be about the same since his is the base rom

There really isn't anything magic when it comes to increased battery life....devs often claim some magic init.d or build.prop tweaks for speed and battery life, but honestly they are almost always full of crap or misinformed

The only times those things make a difference is say for example you included a script that fixes a wakelock problem or kills a rogue service

Otherwise it's just fluff in a devs rom thread

The kernel used will dictate that above anything else (performance and battery)
[HTC Droid DNA] firespitta:
Hook it up nits! I wanna return to sense but I don't want to install sense 4 or any of the current sense 5 BC lack of tweaks
[HTC Droid DNA] fawkiPhone:
I'll be more than happy to beta test :) if you need anymore
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Thanks for clarifying nits
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
i have been able to get pretty good battery life out of the new viperdna 2.0

my average battery life is getting anywhere form 17-18 hours. thats with about 2 - 2.5hrs (and some depending) screen on time. this is within 4-5 days time.

I dont play any games, this is just streaming music all day (pandora/google music) texting snapchat and a little facebooking

I flashed zarboz's kernel beastmode 3.0 and it doesnt seem to hold out as long as the stock kernel, but it does charge a lot faster. i am getting around 14-15 hours with the same setup as above. i have ran this since friday with no reboots/freezes or anything. wifi, bluetooth audio all works flawless

not much longer fellas....and ladies. sense5 with tweaks is almost here!!:good:
[HTC Droid DNA] fawkiPhone:
:D
[HTC Droid DNA] mobitote:
What settings did you use in the beastmode kernel? I tried the kernel but I lost sound on my device, went back to stock kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I think beaups kernel runs really good with this rom it doesn't give you over clocking or all the fancy features and governors but its what I have been using for months and it hasn't given me any problems. When I tried beaups kernel my cores for my cpu were binging and constantly being used when I wasn't even doing anything.
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
beastmode 3.0 only works with sense5 viperdna 2.0 beta

if this is what youre referring to then my setup was:

take all defaults and changed my max from 1.5 to 1.1ghz ..thats all I did

as far as running viperdna 1.3.5 ... i did not use beastmode kernel

beaups and crpalmers sense kernel both work well with viper 1.3.5

-beaups for a smooth stock feeling

-crpalmers for some under/overclocking and undervolting to enhance battery life/performance depending on what you want
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
final beta should go to testers today...only real issue we are having currently is that OTA is not working; hopefully we can resolve that

[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Testing is almost over he said that directly before your post. They choose testers based on different reasons than people who simply want early access to a ROM. Maybe you're not one of those people I just see a lot of requests to test so maybe nits can give the lowdown on how that works exactly.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

He just said directly before your post that its in final beta.
[HTC Droid DNA] fawkiPhone:
Like I stated above I would like to help. I've created and moded ROMs and been successful. I "simply" am not asking just to have first dibs on this ROM but thanks for your two cents.
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
That's cool I don't question your intention to want to test, they just have a different process for choosing testers that doesn't involve asking to be a tester, especially not so close to release. If a final beta has gone to testers, which it has, that means they've moved far beyond the phase of choosing testers.

[HTC Droid DNA] blkhrt13:
Quick question. Is there an option/mod for a 4x5 sense home launcher? I know stock sense is 4x4 but I'm a 4x5 junkie, so was just wondering? Thanks!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
To answer your question I don't think it's possible on sense however I know nova launcher can do it but it doesn't have the sense look your probably looking for.
[HTC Droid DNA] rsims26:
I believe it's an option on Newts ROM. I also believe it causes issues with widgets overlapping but that may have been solved and it very well may be an option with the new Viper.
[HTC Droid DNA] blkhrt13:
Thank you. I appreciate your time man. Reason I was asking is I'm coming from the galaxy s3 and stone of the touch wiz roms have nodded home launchers. They had a 4x5 and a 5x6 as well so I was curious as to whether anyone had done similar with sense
[HTC Droid DNA] Flashme14:
Yeah I tried it out once but didn't like the blink feed but in new viper DNA you can turn blink feed off. Which is bad azz since blinkfeed is the only thing I dislike about sense five !

Guys don't worry about f5ing the thread looking for an announcement with links...vin or I will make a post to the effect of "project followers can now get a preview" or something letting you know

Odds are it's not going to happen in the immediate next few days so just take a deep breath :)

As for those who inquired about beta testing: I'm not ignoring you, and I do appreciate the enthusiasm to help out...vin had mentioned that we just used the remaining individuals from the og huge beta team from January (there were nearly 40 at one point, and still about 10-15 available that haven't moved on to other devices or whatever)..we didn't want to spend the time to go through the process of selecting new members, but will most likely do so for when Verizon eventually releases the official rom and we rebase off of that

Hope this clears some things up!

And remember, lets do our best to keep things light and civil; we are all here to just have fun :)

viper 2.0 question

Nits/Vin

Will we be able to use TiBu to restore User Apps with their data or are we going to need to start from scratch again?
[HTC Droid DNA] antdog24:
Thanks for your hard work. You are the reason I decided to go with the DNA after I retired my INC2. I wanted to make sure I had a device that was going to be supported by team Venom.
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
You'll be able to use TiBu for user apps but it is always recommended to not restore any system data. User app/data shouldn't cause any issues or ill effects for you.
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
i restored user/data app, but each beta i went through on multiple flashes and restores, i had problems with apps that allow push notifications. always have had that issue. those apps do not notify me correctly or wont even show a notification until after i launch the app.

apps like facebook, pof, okcupid, gmail (if using a themed one) xda app and a few others

most other user app and data are safe. i do not restore these, i just reinstall from store and keep on kickin
[HTC Droid DNA] Flashme14:
O ok cool I'm still excited to use it even if I have to have blinkfeed for awhile il just make my home screen the desktop that dosnt have blinkfeed on it so I don't have to see it all the time. One question I always had about blinkfeed does it pull data to refresh all the time? Just asking because when I upgraded my Verizon phone I didn't do the research that I'd loose my unlimited data so I'm on a 6 gig shared plan, but the other line dosnt use any data at all.
