hey chevy I have been using ur rom from a long time.....yestarday when I switched back to energy rom and after using it for a day I noticed few thingsss......

1) amaze got very hot when used for about continous 10 minutes gaming or surfng....but on energy it did not get hot even though same clock speed...of 1.5 was used by me....

2) when ever I swithd airplane mode off the device became unresponsive on viper rom when it searchd signals....nothng like this on enrgy rom

3) When the alarm rang amaze used to get very hot too on viper....but on energy rom it dfidnt.....

I did not edit my viper rom in any way and was using faux v29 kernel.......is this problem wid the port or is it becaus energy rom is based on stock ics ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
I disagree with u......

FIFA12 running very well on my device with either viper1.4xx or viper1.6xx ,

I suggest u check your data.

Battery fixes

Sometimes it takes a few cycles.

Also use the battery calibration app.

Three good drain and charge cycles usually help.

Set govenor settings to conservative.

Dim your screen to low levels.

Any Video intensive app will drain your battery.

The Rom, when freshly installed without restoring data, should operate very well without any further modifications.

Of course it's nice to have your data back without having to install 100+ apps and their data manually.

I do a fresh install every time I test run a future release. I experience 12 to 20 hours of good usage.

IMO I think that the best feature that we have with this Rom is that it sleeps well. A few of the other roms I've played with always seem to have some strange wakelocks.

This one doesn't.

So under normal use your battery is going to drain normally, but there is no extra drain due to some extra "unneeded" stuff running in the background.

Another hint is to go through and use an app installer to remove apps that run by themselves to update data (check ins) if you don't use it, and might never, remove it.

Viper comes preinstalled with twitter (HTC Peep) and I use Plume (@chevycowboyusa) . That's two apps downloading the same data. So twitter gets deleted.

If your screen/phone (usually the back side) is getting really hot, what are you doing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
airplane mode

:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] waver21:
I always use brightness to lowest....

by lag mean that while searching for network this device became unresponsive for few seconds.......only happens while switch btwn airplane node or after complete reboot.........

alright one more thong this only happnnd after I updated my unbranded amaze to latest radioo.....can this be the prob....???
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
unbranded

That is quite possible, but i'm not totally sure.

What provider do you have?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
PHONE HOT!!

When phone start heating up on 3G/gameplay.....

Solution: i turn off my data/unplug charger,

Thats help atimes but kindda weird/boring..

RATE****

Have tested many Roms== SpeedRom,CM10,miui,EnergyRom but None of the listed Rom has match the BROWSING/DOWNLOADING SPEED given to me by VIPERS ROM +1..

The problem with Viper is battery issue.

if anything can be port out from SpeedRom it wil be appreciated,SpeedRom battery is awesome(might be the stock kernel he uses).

Yet still I can't stop loving VIPER :D

GREEN THEME FOR VIPER V.1.6.7

soon tonight after that each one in a few days of each other since I'm redoing them while I'm working ssshhhhh don't tell my boss though. Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yay themes! :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Um VPN FIXED!!

I fixed VPN I'll be uploading 1.6.8 in about an hour...

I'll see if I can make a small zip... and I'll do the whole thing too..

I'm hoping it was just the settings.apk got to rebuild and flash it one more time.

I also think I might have a very slight chance of getting wifi calling working.

Going to focus back on that next..

My beautiful wife has been gracious and has not complained that I'm on the computer again!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
VPN

FIXED!!!!!

One more test and I'll post it!

Waiting for it to boot....

And...................... It works!

goo.im/devs/ChevyCowboyusa/ViperAmaze/ViperAVPNFix.zip

Enjoy!!

Now for some wifi calling!
[HTC Amaze 4G] static!:
Second download link not working. Does anyone know if play store WiFi tether apps work or if they're all broken?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:

You'll have to wait for just a few, It's uploading now...

Wifi tether does not work on this rom (yet) I'm working on it :)

Maybe I was wrong...Can you give me your download link of your FIFA12 game?I want to try again.Thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:

Damn, I forgot to try it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Great,...... kudos Justin.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
OP Updated

Op updated and I verified the links are good!

If you are running 1.6.7 you only need the AmazeVPNFix

or

you can download the whole thing..

A few extra files added test them out!

I'm going to try Justin's green theme!

P.S. sound should be better too!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
lemme try..
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I tried it.. it's a waste... I'll remove it from the next build.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Done flashing the full Rom......

Works Fine :D

Untill After restoring my data,

com.android.phone and messages stopped working...

Can dis be fixed??
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
usually a sign of flashing back more than just the apps. to fix, wipe, re-flash and be very selective of what you restore.
[HTC Amaze 4G] playa0506:
Wait, so is the GPS still being a pita or is it fixed in 1.6.8? :( Anyhow, I'm loving your work and you seem on top of it! Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Not working though......

back to v1.6.7 ,

working fyn
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Usually with GPS, the easiest fix is to grab the gps.conf from a ROM in which GPS is known to work and replace it in the system etc folder. Works like a charm every time for me. I will attach the file here, first extract it, then just go to system, etc and paste it there and over write the existing file in root explorer. Let me know if it works; obviously make a backup of your original gps.conf file just in case...
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Try Googling bro
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:

EDIT: haha, now I'm in violation for quoting it lol. Fixed
[HTC Amaze 4G] olegkievusa:
I didn't have gps.conf in my system/etc at all! Putting your file there fixed my GPS !

I'm on ViperAmaze1.6.7
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sorry, that was my fault. I must have missed that file...

It it's in the 1.6.8 version.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Loll glad to help
[HTC Amaze 4G] playa0506:
The GPS works, it's a bug with the switch, apparently.

The GPS works fine, after a hot reboot, but it's the toggle that seems to bork it after you switch it off and on again. The icons will no longer show up nor will it get a lock anymore. The file was helpful though! So thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I'm working on it. I can replicate the issue. Just need some time to look at the catalog.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:
Having a weird issue with my camera closing out sometimes and not giving me a FC message. And it's hard to replicate but I can do it. Ima flash 1.6.8 without that special camera option in aroma. See if it helps. If it don't I'll get a logcat.
[HTC Amaze 4G] azcledel:

I flashed 1.6.8 and was unable to make a phone call. Said android.phone.apk stopped working.

Wiped, reflashed and same issue.

Any idea what happened?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Had the same issue but didn't mind cos I don't make calls wit amaze.....

Then I decided to restore my data backup and com.android.phone and message stoped working.....reflashed but same thing,

Then I gave up cos couldn't stand the heat of installing 100 of apps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
VPN

This may sound strange, but I really haven't used vpn. I tested out the set up and made sure that everhting was accessable to click and select. I sent the fix to a friend who tried it and was told it worked.

I'm learning how to use all the features as I get to them.. It's a lot. I never really realized how much our phones can do until I started this project.

So I'll be looking up the directions on how to set it up, then I'll be able to see how to fix it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Phone.apk

Did you restore data as noted in the comment below?

I don't release untill I've tested the rom fairly well for the basic functions (Calling / messaging/ few other things)

and I use my data backup on top. What seems to have happened is that the phone.apk may have been copied twice. I'll look into it.

One more question for those with this issue. Did you restore only your data?

I would suggest wiping dalvik and cache. you can do that in the advanced settings in Venom tweaks.

THANK YOU!!! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] kemihansome:
Yeah I restored only DATA
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
I got the same thing. I just uninstalled and flashed a different rom. I need to be able to make calls.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
1.6.8

Well, The problem just manifested on MY phone too.

If you made a back up of 1.6.7 or your last version, I apologize, but roll back to that if you need to make a call.

I'll fix 1.6.8 in a few. I'm at work, but I should be able to get a fix out on my lunch break...

Sorry again..

[HTC Amaze 4G] azcledel:
So I just had the scariest crash I've ever had... Middle of a phone call phone reboots to HTC splash and just hangs... Pulled battery powered on... Infinite hang... Pulled battery booted into boot loader them recovery cleared all cache fixed permissions reboot... Infinite hang... Mind you I wasn't home so at this point totally freaking out. Pull battery format everything click format boot recovery freezes... Fuuuuu! Pull battery... Recovery... Flash cyanogenmod 10.1 nandroid clear cache fix permissions reboot... Infinite hang........ Battery is almost dead. Get home switch batteries. Repeat last process... Infinite hang... I'm really flipping out at this point. Boot to recovery... Full wipe... Install cm10.1 clean... Clear cache fix permissions reboot........ Success! Boots fine wait 10 mins boot back to recovery advanced restore of cm10.1 data clear cache fix permissions reboot... Golden.

Sorry for the rant but I have no clue what happened one min phone was fine next that happens. Sorry to say as much as I liked viperamaze I don't want to risk that happening again. Figured I'd share my horror story in case it happens to anyone else.

1.6.8 problems

Did anyone who flashed the vpn fix (small file) to update the rom have an FC trying to make a call?

I'm trying to narrow down the file that made it mess up.

I reposted the VPN Fix and removed some unneeded files.

If you updated to 1.6.8 go back to 1.6.7 and flash the vpnfix.zip (not needed unless you use VPN)

I'll have a full rom update later tonight, I put the link back up for 1.6.7.

Again, sorry for the problems.

Fix something and something else breaks.... :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
I flashed vpn fix and all is well. Haven't tried the actual feature.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
cpu screen off speed is way too low, you need to set it to 702Mhz, don't worry this won't affect your battery life at all... and wake ups will not lag anymore, and strange issues like this will probably be eliminated as well... it is also safe to set minimum cpu to 192Mhz, the most important setting though is the screen off max... way too many people clamp the phone down and it does NOT like being clamped down when it wants to "breathe" per-se...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Feq too low...

Very good answer! Thanks Blast!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EduardoZ714:
Can anyone kindly explain to me what exactly is that VPN setting? What's the purpose of it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
no problem man, I would actually suggest you set an init.d script that the more knowledgeable can delete on their own if they want a lower screen off max, but I think for the average user 702Mhz should be the MINIMUM screen off max setting... don't know if you've used the yank555 installer for faux kernel? but use it and check the file that gets put in the init.d folder, you could basically just copy the screen off max part of that into either the init.post_boot.sh or one of your init.d startup scripts...

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

if you don't know, then you have no need for that information... it's obviously for VPN connection via your phone... read up on VPN before wasting your time tinkering with it on your phone...
[HTC Amaze 4G] EduardoZ714:
I searched it up and read about it being a way to bypass censorship on certain private networks wether that's all you can do with it idk. If I would have know what it was to begin with I wouldn't have asked. There's nothing wrong with asking and a proper response would have been appreciated.

If you tried Bluetooth you need to make sure it's off and do a full reboot.

did your icon pack include /system/framework/framework-res.apk?

if so, I don't care what the about/version screen says... I can make sense 1.9 say it's sense 6.0
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
He's at least got the build prop.

The sense 4.1 is from the ext.jar.

And that does look like the battery from the all in one mod.

What were you doing? Did you watch videos or play some intensive games?

That will also drain the battery fast.

Viper gets better battery life because it really sleeps when not in use.

It will drain the battery like any other Rom with heavy usage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:
Well I bet that dip right before 8Hours was because he was playing vector. I played vector and that game eats the f**k out of the battery. He prob played for like 20 minutes and everything after that looks like normal use.

I don't understand what you are implying. Just because you are not having an issue does not mean the issue does not exist. Asking a question does not make anyone a troll. This forum is to post inquiries and suggestions for the rom so don't be a prick to people doing so.

anyway, any help is appreciated with the pass-through chevy (I've re-flashed but that did not seem to help)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Please stay on topic....

Please, We are all here to help each other. Yes, some people have slightly different devices. No two amazes are the same.

Adding modifications like posted above kind of breaks the Rom in different ways. I don't know for sure what the all in one mod will do to the rom because it's not designed for our device.

I've seen by changing one file (that wasn't really needed anyway) while fixing the VPN issue broke many other things.

Faux kernels are really good, but I have had very good success using the nightmare kernel that comes with the rom. And I get great battery life for general use without tweaking the govenor settings. Heavy drains and heating when playing Candy crush saga. So intensive apps will be intense on your battery. It's an underpowered battery for a phone that can suck it dry in an hour.

I havent had any reboots, but I'm sure others do.

I can't help much when madifications have been made by y'all. I would have to install tweak cheange and modify my installation on my phone to accomidate every one and that's not possible. Plus my deving device IS my only device. So while trying to fix the next broken thing, I'm without the use of my phone.

Once again, let's please try to stay on topic.

Thanks,

Chevy
