I installed viperDNA 1.2.0 and the stock 2.04 kernal boot.img

Anyone know if issues with viperDNA and WiFi Tether? I tried out WiFi Tether last night and it seemed to have disabled the wifi ability of my DNA because I couldn't connect to my wifi at all after that. I had to reinstall viperDNA to fix the issue.

If Wifi tether is known not to work well with viperDNA, does anyone have an alternative tethering option that they can suggest?
[HTC Droid DNA] Overproof:
How do I remove the wifi network available notification?
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Yes, you can dirty flash.

WiFi Tether uses the same connection as connecting to a WiFi network. You can not use them both at the same time with any ROM. I think all the tethering apps are like that unless you use the bluetooth part to do your tethering with say, Foxfi.

You can check in Settings\Wifi\Advanced check the box "Never auto turn on Wi-Fi if it's not already.

It should automatically be gone with ROM. It sounds like you have a bad install and I suggest you install again.

Are there any negative effects of enabling WiFi n support in viper tweaks? I live in US, do I need it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Novakingwai:
How do I use the app? Just run it and it will tell me if it works? I've ran it and it says there's no profiles. Doesn't seem right that such a new phone doesn't have Bluetooth...
[HTC Droid DNA] cloneDNA:
docnok63, thanks for taking the time to respond to my message. I realize that wifi and the tethering cannot be used simultaneously. What I meant to say was -> after using WiFi Tether app then subsequently turning the hotspot back off, then trying to connect to my home wifi network, my phone no longer would connect to the wifi network. Is this normal? I'd really like to have the tethering capability but after having to wipe and reinstall viperDNA to restore my wifi capability i'm very hesitant to try tethering apps again, unless certain ones are known to work with no problems.

Based on other threads here on xda, I edited our gps.conf found in system/etc. It adds another layer of pooling the ntp servers and decreases the accuracy threshold significantly (from 5000 to 80.) Google Maps seems quite a bit more responsive. Give it a go.

Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

Ok very random and no idea why but on Saturday twice, yesterday once, and today once, I lose signal and the only way it comes back is with a reboot. I'm in a good 4g area and has never happened before been on viper 1.2 since release. Any way to determine how or why this is happening? Can't really record log since I don't know when its gonna happen.

[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
When you say you lose signal, is it just 4G or you lose connection to tower completely? Which radios are you on? Are you s-off and have you tried switching? When you have the issue have you just rebooted every time or have you tried to toggle mobile data or airplane mode?
[HTC Droid DNA] jaysinsalot:

All signal completely reflashed 2.04 radio last night same one I was on. Yes s-off and no I havent tried the airplane mode of toggle data.

The next time it happens see if toggling data/airplane fixes. If you didn't have this issue on the 1.15 radios and it continues to happen, you might want to revert to those. Some people report them as better for them.

Can someone post the link of where to get the radios mentioned in "Charliestheman" instructions post on doing a clean install.

"Radio and Firmware Information: You do not have to be on the latest firmware (2.04) to flash Viper 1.2.0. I recommend that you achieve s off and try the 2.0.4 radios if battery life is a concern especially because one will work better for your unique phone's hardware and network, signal strength and usage pattern."

Ok, so I ended up having to wipe everything and reinstall viperDNA in order to restore WiFi capabilities on my phone.

I tried the WiFi Tether app again (which works fine for tethering). But once I turn the WiFi Tether app off and turn on WiFi on my DNA again it doesn't work... the WiFi is set to ON and the home network I'm trying to connect to displays a status of "Saved, secured with WEP". It will not connect. I tested out some downloads to see if I'm connected with that status but no, it uses my mobile data.

Anyone know what I can do to restore WiFi capabilities on my phone?

hey since i didn't really get this resolved bc i forgot to keep checking back....

From time to time my (happening more often now then it was) my phone will drop it's connectivity. the 4G symbol will disappear completely. and when i'm connected to wifi it will still show the symbol and look connected but in my browser and on the FB app it will say no connection.

Also, as of the last couple weeks. the phone has randomly stopped reading my sim card which of course means no calls or data. i have to reboot the phone or shell to make it read again so that i can actually use the phone.

has anyone else run into this?

yeah i'm on 1.1.3. as well. if you find a kernel that happens to correct this issue i'd love to know. though i'm wondering if it might be something with the driver pack that had to be installed over the ROM.

glad i'm not the only one experiencing it. at least makes me feel like it's not just my hardware
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Has nothing to do with the ROM or kernel. It's a DNA specific issue. Power down and pop your SIM card out for a minute. Put it back in and boot into recovery. Go into advanced and fix permissions. Reboot and profit.

@trinity343- Try the same thing for the SIM card/connectivity issues.

[HTC Droid DNA] Droidem:
Its not that most if us don't like beats. It's that there is only a on and off option. Most equalizers have a way to change to lvls around a bit. Beats, AFAIK, just enhances the bass.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

I just checked mine and it recorded the sound. Did you select the camera mod in armora? If so you need to reinstall the rom and not select it. That apk is broken. Iirc there is a link in either this topic or the main topic. I think nits is working on that issue.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Because there is some static, and sound cuts out at low levels.
[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:

[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
New question! :)

So a couple days ago, a change happened without me doing it.

You know how when you pull down the notification bar it would have the toolbar at the top that had the options for power settings and display settings and such?

Well mine decided to no longer show those options and now just shows app shortcuts instead. I would rather it have the power control options.

I've tried going into the viper settings to change it but it inky gives me the option for the app shortcuts. There is absolutely no option for the power controls. Unless it's under a menu option I missed, which may be possible.

And ideas or knowledge on this?
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I think you're trying to change how quick settings are displayed. Pull down notifications and then longpress on the clock.

Re-flash the ROM and don't select full wipe at he beginning. This is called a dirty flash.

Sorry guys I stated incorrectly. I used twrp to sideload up to 1.1.3 then flashed the boot.omg. When I open up Venom Hub and try to download an add-on it starts at 0% never moves and goes to a white screen.

[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

Would I need to flash all the updates too?

And if it fails, like twrp seems to do, then I'll have to wipe and start over.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Yes, you'll need to flash the updates as well, but there's good news. You can nandroid backup your data only. Since you'll be staying on the same base ROM, you can restore your data once patched up to 1.1.3. Specifically:

1) Boot into TWRP and do a backup of data only.

2) Reboot recovery

3) Wipe dalvik cache, factory reset, and system x 3 each

4) Flash ViperDNA 1.1.0. If Aroma fails (it's Aroma, not TWRP), repeat step 3 until you get 100%. Save install log. When it asks you to reboot, say no. Once back into TWRP, wipe dalvik cache/cache and factory restore again. Boot into ROM.

5) Use the Setup Wizard to sign into Google and automatically restore your apps.

6) Either force 1.1.1 OTA through Settings\About or, if you have them downloaded flash 1.1.1 OTA in recovery.

7) Boot into Android. This is to ensure patch updates are applied.

8) Repeat steps 6 & 7 with Android boots in between each patch.

9) Once all patched up, boot into TWRP and do a base 1.1.3 backup. Then restore your data only backup.

10) Profit.

Good luck,

Doc

Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

I've actually done this whole process several times and just left the data partition alone (no factory reset) and am just fine.

I wonder if there is a flashable zip with the mod. Anyone know the name of the mod so I can Google it?
[HTC Droid DNA] nremtp550:
Okay so I sideloaded 1.1.0 and rebooted between each install. I flashed the boot image just ask instructed. When I go into the Venom Hub and click on any add-on I see a 0% please wait message 1/100. The percentage never goes up and it goes to a white screen without displaying any data whatsoever. Help me please. :(

[HTC Droid DNA] trinity343:
ever since the latest update to viper 1.1.3 i've had connectivity issues. from time to time it drops my data or GPS connection (though the signal is still showing strong). for example, today i was driving and using the navigation and from time to time it would just randomly lose the GPS signal for a second or two and then be fine again for a while. and it would do this from time to time. and the same thing would happen with data. i could be on the browser or using an app like facebook and it would come up and say no internet connection.

anyone else having this issue? and if so...do we know of a fix or if it is a known issue?
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Sorry, I don't know what's going on. I've never heard of this happening to anyone else. At this point, I'd say just wait for 1.2 to come out and see if you have the same trouble.

I don't see the discrepancy. He's saying to use the linked .zip file to stop the Verizon OTA after you install 1.1.0. You can either let the Viper OTA's come from the net or flash them in recovery, but you can not flash them consecutively. Regardless of which way you patch, you need to reboot into Android in between each patch to apply the patch.

He's incorporating it into a larger mod which is for the HTC One X
