Last October I spent 3 weeks in Uganda. I had DROID RAZR maxx then. I got a local sim. Powered down, put it in, fired up, changed my radio's to global and all was good.

Go to venom tweaks, misc, phone info. Then change radio to anything with GSM...

Seems like that would work.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Since the DNA is international ready the main thing to do is to let vzw know you're going abroad. At least that's the steps according to them. Though with a custom Rom....don't know if they would change your signal for you but then you can just do what they said above.

[HTC Droid DNA] shizumie:
That is if you want to use VZW international service. I'd say you don't want to if local service is available. VZW international is high $ and sketchy service depending on where you go. Normally you can get a local sim for 5 bucks or so and service is a fraction of what VZW is. Jmo

Thanks guys. So, the consensus is that a prepaid sim would work without any other tinkering besides popping it in, booting up and changing the settings?

Would this be the same for other verizon global/international phones like the Note 2 and S3?
[HTC Droid DNA] funkbucket007:
Tried flashing this earlier (coming from BAMF 2.0 Sense 5) and initially it worked. However, I selected AOSP messaging and MMS didn't work for whatever reason. Went back in TWRP, wiped everything (x3) and now it crashes in Aroma (5 times so far) during the install process (and at random percentages). I may try it again later.

Score. Finally took.

Galaxy Mods and Tweaks

Does anybody know if it's in the works of team venom to include any mods or tweaks based off of the new S4 coming out? For example, the sound with the picture would be cool, being able to multitask apps, the drama shot would be absolutely amazing if it were possible on the DNA and the group play would be cool too. If not, you think nit and the team would be up to the task?

So I just installed 1.2 to a phone I got off of Swappa which is unlocked and s-off prior to me getting it. Upon first boot I cannot get data access...in the APN settings it I see one called "tfdata" and it has a lock symbol next to it so I cannot edit it. I can select restore defaults which then shows "VZWINTERNET" but it doesn't stay when I hit back and then go back into APN settings the tfdata one shows up again. When I try to create a new APN with the correct settings and click Save it never shows up as an option. Can anyone help me with this? Not sure what to do. Thanks.

Where are the OTA updates?

Hey there! Great work :)

I had a few questions:

- When I navigate to Settings > About > Software Updates > Check Now It says that there is no new update for Venom, yet on the XDA thread it says that 1.2.0 is now out (I am running 1.1.3). Why can't it find the OTA update?

- Also, checking the XDA thread, I cannot find the downloadable OTA update for 1.2.0. Where might I find that?

Thanks a ton!
[HTC Droid DNA] Droidem:
1.2.0 is not a OTA. It's a full rom update. You'll need to wipe your device in order to install 1.2 0. With that said, there should be an update soon so you might want to hold off on flashing 1.2.0.

As for the download it should be on the first page of the original topic. Not this one.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mcsquizzy:
Oh okay! :) I can't find the previous (1.1.0-1.1.3) OTA files on the original thread. Are they gone or am I stupid?
[HTC Droid DNA] Droidem:
There is a post on this thread linking the old files but am unsure on what page.

incoming call causes reboot

Anyone had issues with incoming calls causing reboots? I'm on 1.2 with 2.04.605.2
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
The first thing I would do is make a current nandroid backup.

Then do a clean install as a test control. You will want to go into recovery and wipe menu, wipe these 4 things: Factory Reset, System, cache, and dalvic cache and then flash the rom and install it, once its booted you can skip the setup wizard by pressing home twice, then when sense is done loading call your own phone number from a different phone.

Does it still do it then? If yes, I would just run an RUU and then test it, or flash a stock rom and if that doesn't work run the RUU. If not, then go ahead and go forward with the installation you just did and continue setting it up. If you restore with titanium backup be VERY careful because a batch backup or restore even with only user apps selected will screw up some of the roms native apps if you don't remove them from the list before restoring.

I'll give it a try and see, thanks!!

ads

Doesn't viperdna have built in ad removal? If so what is expected? In a typical app should they be blocked? Maybe there are steps to enable/update? thx
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
You can choose to block ads in the ViperDNA aroma installer if you want. It makes a host file that redirects the ad to a localhost. You can google ad free or adaway or look in the Android Apps and Games section of XDA for them. They will allow you to update the host file.

There's also an ad blocking app called AdBlock plus but I dont like this route because it's always running in the background, I like to manually update the host file.

Also there's a new Viper getting ready to be released and when you do a clean install of the new rom you can choose to block ads and you'll have an updated host file.

Has anybody had a problem with htc dock enabling for no reason at all?

I am not around any magnets, have cleaned my port best I can without disassembling the phone. And still my phone constantly goes into dock mode. I have frozen dock in TB so I don't actually get to dock mode anymore, but I still get the anoying notification witch also keeps me from having a lockscreen. Ie if I hit power button phone opens right up bypassing lockscreen.

Anyway I'm just wondering if anyone else has exp this before I start wiping and trying reinstall in hopes of fix.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] Mcsquizzy:
Unfortunately, that doesn't help me :/ Someone else already mentioned that there isn't a 1.2 OTA yet, but that was the file I was looking for, not the full ROM. Also, do you have any idea why when I search for new updates, it can never find new OTA updates and I have to install them myself?
[HTC Droid DNA] Droidem:
1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and soon to be 1.3 are FULL roms. Which means there are no OTA's to update to the next one. The only OTA that ViperDNA has seen was 1.1.1>1.1.2 >1.1.3.

Good day all,

Quick question, on Viper 1.3 I'm not seeing the tweak to remove/hide the divider bars on the vertical quick settings for the notification pull down.

I know it was in 1.2, did I overlook it or is it missing in 1.3?

yahoo mail and settings issue

After clean 1.3 install noticed a few strange behaviors:

1) Yahoo Mail app notification settings do not stick. After unchecking the vibrate box and selecting no notification sound, these settings reset to default after leaving that settings window. It worked correctly in 1.20

2) In Quick Settings screen timeout it eventually defaults back to 30 sec although I keep changing it to 2 min timeout. Frustrating!

Reboot, reinstall app, and fix permissions tried but with no joy.

Anyone? Bueller?
[HTC Droid DNA] Droidem:
I cannot speak on the yahoo mail app because I don't use it. But for the quick settings reverting does it happen often? Are you sure your not changing it on accident? Have you tried setting it in the actual settings area?

If in doubt provide a log and I'm sure the developers or someone more android code savy than me can/will take a look at it.

yahoo mail and settings issue

UPDATE: Yahoo Mail had an update to fix the non-sticking notification settings. ViperDNA unrelated. Issue resolved.

Sleep timeout, however, is still an issue. After a reboot it defaults back to 30 sec. This occurs using quick settings or using stock settings>display>sleep method. Appears to be a bug. Can anyone else confirm this? Change the sleep timeout to 2 min and then reboot. See if the value stays or reverts back to 30 sec.

I am noticing a little more battery drain lately and I cant figure out where it is coming from. I am running 1.3 and beastmode. I see capacative buttons are flashing now. I cant see any settings to turn that off. Is it a kernal setting or a rom setting and can it be turned off????

That's a kernel thing. Afaik it can't be disabled unless there's an option in aroma. But it won't hurt battery life at all.

GPS crosshair - display only on when GPS active?

I switched from Newt's Sense 5 'cuz I was having some sound issues and figured while I was redoing everything, I may as well try some others out. This is a mighty fine ROM, very stable, lots of tweaks... good stuff.

Got a question about the GPS Icon in the top and can't find an answer. I'd like to remove the crosshair while GPS is turned off, but have it display "normally" when it's turned on.

I'm a lowly web developer and haven't delved into the fantastic world of code for Android (yet), but I do see that in a version of Viper for the Evo 3D 4g that it was actually done... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2124391 (in revision '[1/31] Viper4G 3.0.1').

Can this be done on the current version (I am running 1.3.0)? Am I missing something in the settings? I spent a good few hours last night messing with it.

Thanks,

Mobile data problem

I am constantly dropping my mobile data connection. I have tried all 3 radios out and it seems no better on any radios. I am not sure if its a 3g to 4g thing or what. Its weird, even when it says mobile data is connected everything seems slow. Wifi works great. When I get an actual disconnect I have turned mobile data on and off, toggled the airplane mode etc. I use Slacker, Spotify and now Google Play and it seems to constantly drop connection when using any of the 3. This is a new problem because in the past I always would keep mobile data connection and get quick GPS locks BTW. Right now no matter what kernal/radio used I cannot get this problem corrected.

Presently I am on 2.04 HBOOT and Radio. Every time I switched radios I switched Hboot. Is there something I can check or am I doing something wrong. Totally baffled

Nope. Verizon and selected verizon on install. The only thing I changed on install from default settings is to not delete "my verizon" other than that it was a standard "factory reset" wipe and install.

My BT in my vehicle still doesn't work with certain apps as well. The pause/play functions stopped working on any app. These same apps work fine on my BT headphones. Not sure if it's a viper issue or not but it did work fine when I used it previously with the stock rom. I may try others here soon to see if it resolves the issue.

If you are already rooted yes you can wipe and install. If you are NOT rooted you cannot. There has not been a breakthrough on getting root on 2.06.

I retract my statement about bluetooth. I have no idea what's going on but now a fully stock rom won't stream audio successfully.

I'm on Viper 1.3.1.. wiped everything properly.. for some reason my phones signal bars in the notification turns into a pic of a missing or disconnected SIM nd I lose service. I had the same issue on 1.1.3 (if irc) until I switched over to newts sense 5. I missed the tweaks so I flashed back nd kept having the same issue plus battery drains (noticed phone lasted about 1.5hrs w/o signal). Tried switching between crpalmers nd beastmode to see if it would make a difference but it didn't. I've also noticed a decreased speed/bandwidth in my streaming wether it b on a stock browser or third party. Seems much faster if I download the content then watch. But with no sd slot I hate to eat up my internal space.

Should I try flashing different radios? If so, does anyone have a link? Any advise would b greatly appreciated :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Zer0r:
IMO, you have known problem of SIM-card error. Actually, 2.06 base, among smoothness and other new features, has few very important fixes - 1. Fix for SIM-card error. 2. Fix for GPS+EDGE co-working. AFAIK, ViperDNA 1.3.1 was built from 2.04 with some updates from 2.06. That is why not all 2.06 fixes came to 1.3.1. This conclusion I made trying other "pure" 2.06 ROMs and ViperDNA 1.3.1.

[HTC Droid DNA] KTac:
I just upgraded to 1.3.2 and I'm having issues with the lockscreen. Its already been discussed in the main ViperDNA thread that the sense lockscreen doesn't work in 1.3.2 due to htclockscreen.apk being removed and in order to get the sense lock screen back you have to copy htclockscreen.apk from 1.3.1 to /system/app and set the proper permissions. However, after implementing this fix the lockscreen orientation will not change from portrait no matter what you set it to as long as you are using the sense lockscreen. I just wanted to point this out since one of the bugs that was supposed to be fixed in 1.3.2 was the lockscreen orientation tweak not working but it still isn't working when it comes to sense.

Mobile data never works

I am totally stumped with my phone. I am running the latest OTA for Viper, had the 1.31 prior and I cannot get mobile data to work consistently. I use my phone to listen to music while running and working out. Ever since changing my radio to the 2.06 I have screwed mobile data. I have gone back to 2.04 and 1.15 with same problem. I have tried different kernels, the stock that comes with Viper, Zarboz and the latest CRPalmer which I am currently on. My phone works fine with Wifi, but on mobile data it works maybe 30% of the time. This is driving me so crazy I am ready to go completely stock and if problem still persists I am going to return phone to Verizon.

Other weird things is GPS lock takes forever and drops periodically when using it. I love Viper and the kernels but this is making phone totally unusable. I can't post pictures on mobile data on Hangout or send pictures by MMS or text. So frustrated please help!

I really appreciate any help if anyone has any suggestions.

ok so it's been a while since i've been on here to look at what's going on in the world of Viper on the DNA. so i figured i'd check in and see if someone can give me a quick update from where i am currently on my phone.

current build: Viper 1.1.3; kernal: 3.4.10 Cubed.DNA.Stock

Issues: SIM card detection

Headphone jack doesn't always connect to aux/speaker/headphone cable. i have to wiggle it around for it to finally recognize and even then it is static-y

i saw that version 1.3.x was out but i can't find the update software option on the phone and i didn't get an OTA message about it.

if there are any other suggestions to be made to get me up to date that would be appreciated

[HTC Droid DNA] Droidem:
You can use any Kernal you wish as long as it's the correct base. So yes you can use Beastmode.

As for the steps.

If your not on ViperDNA already download ViperDNA 1.3.1 zip along with the zip 1.3.1-1.3.3 that are located on the second post of this thread.

Download beastmode from the link in my signature as it's what I use and promote.

Boot into recovery.

Wipe all but data 3 times (just do it :))

Hold your phone upright (vertical)

Install ViperDNA.

After aroma does its thing reboot.

Once you are fully rebooted, Reboot into recovery.

Install the update to 1.3.3

Once again hold your phone upright.

Reboot.

Once it's fully rebooted, reboot into recovery again.

Install Beastmode-DNA.

Reboot.

Now enjoy the rom and tweak it to your hearts content.
