Ok thanks for the info
[HTC Droid DNA] HellRayzer:
I had to add chomp sms. It doesn't even give me the option to share images from fb in a text.It would be nice not having to use a 3rd party app.
[HTC Droid DNA] gris1016:
Whats up everyone? I am having the weirdest issues. Out of nowhere my phone is dropping signal and switching between 3G and 4G. Data barely works. So the phone is S-OFF and I have completely wiped every thing and formated data. Had to adb push this rom to the /data/media folder to re flash. anyway, I even got a new sim card and still acting bad. So I was curios of the best way to RUU or flash something that will rewrite all the partitions and get everything crispy clean and new
[HTC Droid DNA] Infinite Jest:
Can any part-time NOS users boil down in a sentence or two their experience between these two (NOS and Viper) ROMs?
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
Sense 4+ (with Venom tweaks) versus sense 5...not really a whole lot more to say besides that.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
If you are 1.3.3 that shouldn't be happening (just checked on my phone and is fine)
[HTC Droid DNA] MrLoompa:
Love the new 1.3.3 and having no problems at all. Now I'm thinking of playing around with a few kernels and have a question.

1. If I install a new kernel and things do not go well, does my nandroid backup also restore the kernel that was used during the time when I did the nandroid? Or also can I reinstall the ROM and get back to the kernel packaged with the ROM? On my old thunderbolt, kernels were flashed through Hboot, so I just want to make sure I understand things before I start tinkering around.

2. And is that kernel in the OP (the Boot.img) the same kernel used with the ROM in case I need to revert back?
[HTC Droid DNA] takota6:
When we go from aosp to sense is it recommended to flash a stock ROM prior?

Æaaa..\„/
[HTC Droid DNA] beyondinferno:
Duh, I wasn't on 1.3.3

Thanks for making me check!
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
1. I believe there is an option to just restore the boot.img from a nandroid. Go to 'restore' then make sure only the boot.img box is selected (but like crpalmer says below, you could have module issues doing it this way).

2. Yes, that is the latest kernel (came with 2.04, and is same kernel as in 2.06)

No, its not necessary to flash a stock ROM, as this is based on the latest stock ROM. Just be sure to do a full wipe, and don't restore any system-data in titanium backup.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
If you restore the boot.img after flashing a custom ROM, you are likely going to have problems with a mismatch in the modules.

I would recommend dirty flashing the ROM as the easiest way to restore the kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mcsquizzy:
I just switched over to the stock ring lockscreen and I have the exact same problem. I have the red theme, and I am running Venom 1.3.1. The ring is invisible. I guess it's cool because others can't unlock my phone easily, but it is also pretty annoying. I love the AOSP lockscreen, but no one has introduced the ability to edit shortcuts, among other things.
[HTC Droid DNA] HollywoodTate:
Did you get the matte skin in the venom hub? I just checked for it and didn't see one.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
UPDATE: :o In double-checking everything I found that somehow the little box in Personalize> Lockscreen Shortcuts got unchecked. Duh.....
[HTC Droid DNA] Mnorton1228:
Nah, go to stock settings > personalize > skin > matte :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
Wonderful...lock screen orientation now works again! Thank you!

Viper seen smother when scrolling between screen *Sense 4.1

Viper Browser Stock Seen Smooth with a faster reflows than NOS

Viper Free Ram (O.S. 4.1.1) keeps a least 764 MB Free memory

Viper Tons of Customization/ setting

Viper Camera likes stock, not so good in low light condition

NOS M7 2.0.3 Sense 5 Android 4.1.2 * Beastmode Viverrine B5.9 | BEATS MPDEC S2W (3.4.37) Gcc 4.8 -O3

NOS browser seen like Chrome, straight fast scrolling between screen

NOS Browser Stock seen load up web pages faster than Viper Browser, look to me like more solid browser performance , even Viper fells smoother

NOS Battery life a little better / depend on user average

NOS Free RAM (OS 4.1.2) keeps a least 1GB Free memory

NOS better memory management * New Sense5/4.1.2

NOS Camera* better Shot in low light condition.
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
I figured out what causes this - I was using a pattern lock. I disabled the lock, and the pause no longer occurs. I don't think it was a problem with the stock ROM, but I'm not completely sure so don't quote me on it. :)

Haven't tried other lock methods yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
Has anyone had any issues with "preparing SIM card" happening every few minutes while connected to WiFi?
[HTC Droid DNA] nimrodsv:
Nice review but u cant compare a rom with stock kernal with a rom with a custom kernal. Use the same kernal for both and then test it.
[HTC Droid DNA] finanandroid:
Thanks Agree, I should be... but yes you can compare Stock Kernel vs Custom Kernel Rom performance thought.
[HTC Droid DNA] MrLoompa:
Just another quick question for those on the DNA, Ive been running almost exclusively the ViperRom and love the Rom and work thats gone into it, congrats boys for making something truly unique. I have however had problems with my mail client. It wont sync with my email account, and it wont pull up new emails I recieve on my account. I have been having this problem on the DNA regaurdless of the Rom Im using so I dont believe its caused by the ViperRom. Is anyone else having problems syncing their email accounts on the mail clients? Any suggestions from anyone out there about a fix or anyone know why its not syncing properly. Currently I have 7 new emails on my account but when I force sync my DNA mail client, it doesnt pull up the new emails in my account on my DNA. Is this a DNA problem by chance?
[HTC Droid DNA] mikeyinid:
Got my DNA yesterday, just got it s-off this morning. Flashed like 3 ROM's before finding this one in "Original Development", which is where this thing belongs. Awesome ROM, nitsuj and co. did an AMAZING job here. Thanks guys...
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Mine syncs but it doesn't sync unless I open up the app so I never know if I have an email unless I open the app. This happened even on stock so I just accepted it.
[HTC Droid DNA] icesteve:
If you use Gmail check the settings for the account in the app and make sure the sync checkbox is checked.

I have 2 accounts and I wasn't receiving email on one of them until I did the above.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Wow sync was off lol I feel dumb. Woops.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
Hmm... Since updating to 1.3.3 and beastmode... It runs nice and quick, but... When I'm on the homescreen it is flashing one of the other homescreens every 5-10 secs or whenever i change screens... Flickering basically

Also, When inside venom tweaks the venom tweak app closes with a msg that says "unfortunately, venom tweaks had stopped"
[HTC Droid DNA] rsims26:
Flickering is caused by the kernel not the ROM. Try a different kernel. Crpalmer has worked great for me. As for the tweaks that happens from time to time. Try clearing cache and if that doesn't work dirty flash the ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
I really need you guys to know that you rock.

And how to disable phone app rotation
[HTC Droid DNA] kun.aries:
How to hide gps icon on status bar in 1.3.3, it's still there :confused:
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
Ok give it a try thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
venom tweaks > misc > enable phone rotation
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Venom Tweaks > Status bar > Hide specific notification icons > check GPS icon.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
Hmm ok reloaded viper to 1.3.3 and installed newer version of kernal (beastmode: default load ) but i had to load the cubed system write module for my wifi to work.

Still flickering and still closing venom tweaks.

I am running desensed if that makes a difference
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
Try a different kernel. Several people have had good luck with crpalmer's and FWIW, I'm currently using elkay's with exceptional results.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
Hmm well crpalmer is still flickering... Guess I'll try another.

Man this phone was running well on viper 1.1.3...just had issues with the sim card
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
how exactly did you upgrade to 1.3.3? were you on a clean install of 1.3.1 (data wipe coming from another version) prior to taking the ota to 1.3.3 (or via 1.3.2 to 1.3.3)

because the only explanation for screen flicker using 2.04 kernels and viper 1.3.x is that you flashed 1.3.3 over an older viper rom (would explain tweaks force closes as well)

let me know how you upgraded to 1.3.3
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
Yeah i installed 1.3.3 on top of my 1.1.3. Didn't think it would matter... Also didn't want to lose data... Guess i should write down what apps i want to re dl. Though it didn't give me the option of wiping when installing like some do
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
only full roms require a data wipe, but our upgrade path is always version > next version (unless specificed)

ie you cannot jump from a 1.1.3 build to 1.3.3 (different bases as well)

to use 1.3.3 you need to have been on 1.3.1 or if you were on 1.3.2 (the broken update) that would work as well
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
well i actually went from 1.1.3 to 1.3.1 and then to 1.3.3 not straight from 1.1.3 to current.

also..while i'm working on backup up app data for a few apps who's data would be an extreme pain to replace...where is app data saved at on this phone? i can't seem to find the files
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
use titanium backup for that purpose
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
i've done that..but it doesn't do a good job at backup the actual app data....at least from past experience it hasn't. on a game i'd still have to start the game over at the beginning instead of where i left off....though the particular app i'm looking at isn't a game...
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
titanium backup makes a copy of the data from the game that is stored in /data/ so any other way that you copy it would give you the same thing, short of a nandroid data restore, which completely defeats the pupose of wiping /data in the first place
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
hmmm ok well i'll give it another go then. the apps i need the data on are backed up. i'm just writing down some settings i want to put back in once i'm up

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

i do have another question with getting this up and running. when i went through the process a last night i had to install the system.write module from cubedkernel to get my drivers working correctly. would something like this still be required?
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
no, the wp module gets installed automatically with any full viper rom install post 1.2.0
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
awesome. well doing the wipe and reload then. i'll let you know how it went. thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] mgault:
I have been using this rom since i got my phone and I love it. Never tried another, I have a program that talks the caller id so i know when its my mother calling and i dont have to go find my phone to answer it :) I went to enable tts and it says its not enables and i can find a way to download it anymore, So it wont work nor willl others like it. Did i install something wrong???
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
hmm it froze while i was going through the deinstall list...and i had to reboot. and now i can't get back to the recovery
[HTC Droid DNA] eriknors:
What recovery are u using?

[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:

a stack of folder/boxes. top left says install....

same one that's in the tutor/demo for viper install
[HTC Droid DNA] firespitta:
Is there a mod or theme that makes the ui dark? Like settings and stuff
[HTC Droid DNA] eriknors:
Sounds like twrp. If u can, reboot into bootloader (vol down +power and hold) or adb reboot bootloader, and choose recovery, it should get u back into recovery.

Also flash this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t= IMO its a more stable build of twrp with less freezes.

Hey, I opted to install the AOSP contacts/phone apps, but under "groups" I am getting a bunch of empty groups created by "HTC" that I can't seem to get rid of. Has anyone else ran across this problem?
[HTC Droid DNA] NNagendran:
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have a couple of requests.

1. Can we have the Security Disabled Exchange ActiveSync Mod in the next build? It is really annoying to enter pin on a face-recognition capable device.

2. Is there a way we could have a condensed font in the Venom Hub?

BTW, this is by far the best custom ROM for any device I have used (Android, iOS, Windows, Palm and Brew)

so glad to have these back :D

i think with 1.1.0 and forward ill add a gsm option into aroma so that gsm users can use a different systemUI then the cdma/lte folks so that the gsm network quick setting and gsm statbar theming is present

Does all the Sense Apps and everything re-size correctly if the DPI is set to 320?

480 is just too big for this phone, so I change the DPI to 320. easier on my eyes

Doing this before in other ROMS, caused htc.sense to FC when opening any htc sense apps (contacts, phone, people, gallery, mms, etc...) Just wondering if this is an issue with sense or the ROM
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
May I suggest this as a lock ring mod I found in another thread.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
the tweak for it as of now only calls for 4 possible lockscreens: stock, arc, left ring, right ring

it would be possible to add more in the future, but given my awful resizing abilities it ll probably take a week just to get the ones i plan on adding to work :p
[HTC Droid DNA] TJMac44:

No I have not had this issues with stock rom or any other rom.

[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
hold the phone upright in your hand when installing w/ aroma (works 95% of time for me)

yes it sounds ridiculous, but my own personal usage and that of many others backs it up :P

will try to use aroma 2.7.0 beta (or whatever is out then) going forward seeing as how it seems to be working well on htc one
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
lol if i didn't think there was truth to that it would be even more amusing. but yeah finally got it to install. and it reboot and viper boot animiation started...and opened to home screen. now i'm back on 1.3.1 and moving forward

hmmm ok so 1.3.3 is now running on the phone. and it's running much better. no flickering. but i do still get the "unfortunantly, Venom tweaks has stopped" when trying to change a tweak setting.

also wifi won't start

where is the option tab like when in the app store and I want to see my apps theres nothing there where it always is, is there something extra i have to do to get this?
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
are you s-on or s-off?

did you install a custom kernel over the rom?

whats the tweak you are trying to use that if fc-ing and we need a logcat of said tweak fc-ing

map one of the soft keys to menu

that works, thanks, Im not familiar with all the tweaks that you put into this rom, its gonna take a while to get use to all this but so far its pretty sweet
[HTC Droid DNA] badfishie:
So when im on a cll and need to check phone screen for a text or email or anything it flashes and its hard to get it to stop flashing to access the screen. Only when on a call. A friend running the venom rom on her 4g lte has same issue. Anyone else? Any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
how do i tell which i am (s-on/off)? i was wondering about that prior. and if i'm s-on...how can i switch it...bc i would rather it be simpler since i know s-off it can install the modules/drivers for you since they are in the ROM.

no i haven't installed a kernel over top since reloading just now

the tweak i was in the CPU window and clicked on get more bc i was curious what was there....

also tried to on the lockscreen menu, change the shortcuts and it gives this error as well
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
you are s-on

you will need to pull the boot.img from the rom.zip and fastboot it

fastboot flash boot boot.img

from hboot

there are very few developers living today who actually help the noobs :P appreciated what you are doing nitsuj. God bless! and wish you prosperity through out.

[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
ok guess i'll have to do that when i get home from work so i can use my computer and the devkit to do the fastboot....unless...there is any easier way without the software.. (i'm not very practiced on having to do this) if i can do it without having to install anything on the computer then i can do it here at work. i'm here for about 2.5 hours so

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

agreed. it's my fourth phone i've rooted and third to put on ROM on, but every one has had to be done differently do i have to relearn and learn new things everytime
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
ok so i found the minimul ADB and Fastboot. i installed it but it is not seeing my phone. might be a driver issue so i d/l'd HTC manager which said it had the drivers built in. still not see it. my phone is in fastboot mode. any ideas?

if anything i can wait till i get home on a Win7 machine which already had the full SDK kit installed on it

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Also just noticed that the screen is still flashing as well...wonder if that has anything to do with the boot.img as well
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
You may have to start your fastboot session with root/superuser privileges. Otherwise the device will seemingly not get recognized.

And yes, having the wrong kernel/modules could certainly cause touchscreen issues.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
yeah i'll just try at home. i can run cmd as admin there. and i know the driver is installed...
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
ok finally got the stock 2.04 boot img installed. getting on my computer at home which already had all the dev tools for root and such on it helped...as did already having the drivers installed on here. my wifi is working again..and so far i don't see anymore flickering.

however, it still crashes the venom tweaks when ever i try to do anything in it. i can open it and change menus but the moment i try change anything it crashes.
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
Unless you bought the phone second hand, you're likely s-on. I'd highly recommend heading over to the moonshine s-off thread and doing that. It'll save you headaches, like having to flash Kernels through fastboot. It could potentially fix your crashes too.

Ps: to check if you're s-on or s-off, boot into the bootloader and look at the top of the screen.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
Yeah I'm the original owner and yes it says s-on... Guess I'll make another stop tomorrow or Wednesday to moonshine

I'm trying to use venom hub but it says click here to register but it won't let me, I didn't have to do anything last time I flashed this, is there something going on I can't even view icon and theme packs I get nothing?

something is very wrong with your setup as that not is an issue that has been really reported by anyone else before

if you post a logcat of whats going on, might tell us why its happening to you

you shouldn't need to register to use venom hub...its possible the server was having issues when you tried to use it last though
