[HTC Amaze 4G] inyallan:
you asked if USB Tethering is working right?

okay let me explain my response:

"i tried it and its perfectly working." meaning the rom works when in terms of the USB tethering. given that the proper driver is installed in your computer. check your device driver if RNDIS is installed properly. I can share the driver that i used if you ask nicely and say please.

"and the other way around." this means the Internet pass through (if you know what it means). This basically enables your phone to get internet connection from your PC's ISP. then again, if proper driver is installed in your PC or laptop's operating system.

and please, i dont intend to prick anyone! if you misunderstood my answer, don't misjudge it. ask and dig in for further info. before posting anything, it is common that you search/research first. and what's with the "troll" statement? i am sorry hunny if i made you think that you are one if you ask questions. it is soooo self inflicted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Can you put viper back on?

Are you s-off? Or s on?

Maybe you're stuck with my Rom.. lol

We'll get it figured out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Stock. No mods. Little usage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
I would download the factory rom, flash that then start over.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Agreed. Would suggest the ruu..
[HTC Amaze 4G] GrofDraculaa:
Im s-on and i can put viper on with no problem.....i gues u r right Chevy im stuck with your rom...lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
S-on

S-on seems to be your problem, and as much as I'd like you to stay with Viper I'm compelled to tell you how to fix your dilema.

The reason you can flash Viper with no problem is because that was your last succsessfully flashed boot.img/kernel.

You mush have lost the SMARTFLASH function through 4ext.

Make sure you enable it before flashing another rom and you should be ok.

I am S-off and no longer need to worry about smartflash. Also some roms that use the aroma installer to load the Kernel might not load right for s-on people.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Chevy, are you working on this ROM alone? I feel you might need some help from other Viper Venom Devs.

Also, I wonder if you can add a swipe-to-wake script into the kernel? Sensation has it, Once S has it, not not Amaze which is between them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GrofDraculaa:
I always have smartflash enabled in 4ext when i flash roms and kernels......it doesnt help....
[HTC Amaze 4G] mgp53:
Try changing to an earlier release of

4 ext.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Viper Devs

I've been working with Ivica, but mostly by myself. The problem is that none of them have an amaze, and porting blindly to it is proving to be very difficult.

The kernel they are using we modified to try with amaze, but to no avail.

And right now they are busy with the jellybean problems.

I've spent quite a few hours sending logs and flashing files to try to get bluetooth working.

We almost had a working bluetooth. but it got corrupted and wasnt able to recover to figure out what files were needed...
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
That happen to me once and I am s-off what I did was flash the ruu and unlock the boot loader again. Then did the root, recovery process etc.... Yeah so try that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Swipe to wake

I'm learning how to poke around in the kernel.

If I can get the specific code to add to it I might try to put the swipe to wake in there..
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
I have been pounding this drum for a long time.. I don't know why people are afraid of soff.. I'm glad to see a respected personality /dev saying the same thing...
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
I thought it depends on the ICS kernel source code which was released for Amaze long ago. :confused: I mean we have the HTC Kernel Source...but lacking a good custom kernel. All kernels we have for Amaze not 100% working like for Sensation or Ville - GPU OC is still inactive, Swipe-to-Wake inactive...

I wonder if you can ask someone like Elemental, Zarboz or Faux for an advice? thnx
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin lamantia:
all themes updated

for 1.6.8
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Kernel

I'll see if I can get ahold of them and see what they say.

They got a kernel for the old G1 booting Jellybean! Sheesh....

Oh, might have another minor update tonight....
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Themes

Oh Yeah!!!! Going to try one. (or two!)
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
F...k me! G1 is still alive :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
HTC Dream

Yes. alive and well. Good for them booting a very messed up jellybean. But jelly it is ... AOSP
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
Wow. I never thought I'd be accepting a terms agreement before installing a rom lol. There's a first time for everything
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
TOA

Lol. it's a toa for the rom install..
[HTC Amaze 4G] 92drls:
I tried searching through a bit but didn't find it; is Bluetooth still broken? This ROM looks killer but that's a major blow for me if so. Otherwise this looks great!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ivicask:
Yes hes right, i could probable fix Bluetooth for you, but i cant do it without device..sending hundreds of logs, files and test's than waiting while someone trys and responds back than i give next test...

Its just not possible that way, need device in my hands to work on it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
if I was able to buy a One right now, I'd gladly send you my amaze... but timing is absolutely horrible right now... moving in a few days and my life is pretty upside down hectic... grrrr... will see what I can do...
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
Hmm, could that phone be with some issues? For example, with broken but still working glass or some buttons (volume or camera) missing? I think I can look at e-bay for a cheap device, maybe I/we can get something for you...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ivicask:
Probable yea..this device doesnt even work in my country so a broken one would be superb for testing :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] statsman007:
Amazingly enough, Venon ROM worked to get S-OFF and SuperCID working ..... I didn't need stock RUU to get S-OFF ...

Worked very well...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
ROM

Viper has been one of the coolest roms! The tweaks are great. I haven't had this kind of battery life on any device/rom before.

With absolutely minimal use, I went almost 40 hours before I plugged it in and it still had 9%.

Very fun Project. And If we do get BT and the other stuff working, this will be the best rom on the amaze hands down (as far as a sense rom).

CM10 is great too.

I love sense though and have learned to deal with the lack of bt,
[HTC Amaze 4G] statsman007:
CPU Settings

I am getting terrible battery life though ....

Can you please let me know what are your settings under "Venon Tweaks" ????

The read ahead size , governor, and minimum screen off frequency....???

Thank you... I attached a photo of mine...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
A few questions...

Did you turn Bluetooth on? If so, turn it off and do a full reboot.

Have you run fix permissions in the venom tweaks? If not, try that.

Have you calibrated your battery? Use a free battery calibration app and run it and follow the directions.

Oops.. notice the version I'm running... lol

When you flash, did you restore your data from a backup, or did you reinstall apps from titanium?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kiran1991(Clandestine):
I don't get any sound at all

I just flashed Viper 1.6.7 from stock 2.3.4. I flashed this like 3 times already with different option while flashing. I can't hear a beep from the phone anymore. What could be the issue?

When I try to play music, the songs skip in gaps of 2-3 seconds not producing a sound. Can't hear sms sound, can't hear any notifications, can't hear phone calls, no nothing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
what recovery are you using? are you s-off/s-on? international version? u.s. version? we need a lot more specifics before we can even begin to help you... please everyone, when posting an issue, post recovery (+version number if not the most current), s-on/s-off, carrier, phone version (us, international)... it at least gives us something to go on instead of tying a blind fold on us, handing us a pocket knife and asking us to perform heart surgery...
[HTC Amaze 4G] kiran1991(Clandestine):
More info

Sorry my bad I did not gave enough info.

IT is HTC Amaze 4G International Version

Recovery: 4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC7 (flashed from All-in-one-kit 5.1)

Bootloader unlocked using htcdev

Carrier: NCELL (Nepal)

Baseband: 1.13.550L.13DC_30.69b.550L.101D

HBOOT: 1.92.0000

S-ON
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
ok, do you have smart-flash turned on in the ext4 settings? if not do this and re-flash the rom (without wiping anything)

please report back, if smart-flash is already turned on, try flashing faux kernel v.29 via the aroma installer (found in the faux kernel thread)

make sure with the aroma installer that you choose 702Mhz for the screen off max setting (this is the most important setting, all other you are pretty much free to set how you please, but this one is VERY important, setting it too low can cause many other issues)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xDC23:
now how does that work? i thought we were supposed to have used an RUU that was running ICS so we could be able to flash any ICS roms :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
It is always mandatory to wipe everything, including \system partition when coming from a different ROM before flashing a new custom ROM. This includes if you are coming from the stock ROM also. Do backup of your current ROM, then wipe everything, then flash new rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] statsman007:
Hello, and Thank you for bring up the battery calibration issue...

I downloaded a Battery calibration app, followed the steps... Even erased the "battery stats" via 4EXT recovery... And still poor battery life... I mean 4 hours and fully depletes the battery...

The phone is 3 or 4 months old, so the battery can't be near its end of life....

I am running the stock kernel that came with Viper ROM 1.6.6... Would flashing "faux kernel" be any better????

Thank you..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jkozan:
Try fast dormancy make sure it is off and make sure bt is off shut off the phone and pull battery. Restart and your best bet is a set of anker batteries best 28 dollars I have ever spent on the phone, when the battery gets low just swap and charge I get am average of 12 hours of moderate to heavy use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
battery

The Amaze has been out for a while. There's no telling how long that battery sat before use.. could have been on the shelf for a year and the battery was not at a full charge so it's possible it whas bad when you recently purchased the phone...
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
I'm watching one on e-bay - will this one fit?
[HTC Amaze 4G] PHAROSngm:
External Storage Problem

I've suddenly come across a problem as of a few hours ago that the phone cannot distinguish file types until opened. It says I have no music, movies, or documents. Under the file explorer it is listing everything under misc. but if I manually go to the folder and open it from there I can view the media. It also says it cannot take a screenshot because of a problem with the storage (I was planning on taking a few to show the issue) but I have been able to transfer data between my PC and the phone without any errors. Not sure whats going on exactly =S
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Very odd

Sounds like you need to move everything you can off of your sdcard and reformat it..

I havent had any issues like what you're reporting.

Can you post a logcat please? when you're having these issues?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Cool!

Lol... it would be awesome if it had viper already installed!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kusso92:
Hey Chevy, really tiny request would you be able to make the sound enhancer be available without the headphone jack having a wire in it? I've seen it on a few roms so I wouldn't be surprised if you can't or its not possible. Just asking if you can or if it's possible on this Rom. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Processes

Yep... There some that'll drain the battery like there's no tomorrow!

There is a setting in the viper tweaks that kills everything when you close out of the app, but it creates a really bad screen lag..

The first Viper (accidental release) 1.4.1 had a bad battery drain for the first few cycles.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
whered you get the icon packs and what not from?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrlokoo:
Re: [ROM] Viper Amaze 1.6.3 [ICS |Android 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1]

Do you think the battery drains quicker cause the screen brightness ? On cm10 the brightness was more dim.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SpiritFyre:
Re: [ROM] Viper Amaze 1.6.3 [ICS |Android 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1]

icon packs are adw themes. status bar is from venom hub. overall theme and font is from the all in one theme zip thing

*waving the magic muffin they let us pass*. Sent from a Force filled Muffin wielder.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
ahh okay. I like the icons you have on the dock but I don't want ADW. and I cant seem to download the all in one mod ): the download keeps freezing on me.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

can someone possibly upload the all in one mod on a fresh mirror? the first mirror my average dl speed is 50 kbp/s and keeps getting interrupted. mirror 1 is broken, 2 you have to sign up and the third is all in Russian or something and interrupts also.

would be awesome if someone could do that, ive tried downloading it like ten times.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
Re: [ROM] Viper Amaze 1.6.3 [ICS |Android 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1]

Flashed faux kernel fixed all battery issues :).
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
really? how do you flash a kernel?
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
Re: [ROM] Viper Amaze 1.6.3 [ICS |Android 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1]

Just go to faux thread and download the ice cream zip and flash it through Recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
awesome thanks/

memory usage appears to be lower with it too.

still having the task manager issue though ):

new look since reflashing (:
[HTC Amaze 4G] xDC23:
sooo....on a scale of 1-10 how broken is bluetooth?? i wanna switch over to this but i need bluetooth for an OBDII reader that i use. not for music or anything else, but im wondering if it would at least pair with my code reader.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
pretty sure it doesn't work at all. don't hold me to it tho, I haven't tested it myself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xDC23:
lol im pretty tempted to try this. but i need bluetooth for that one reason only. i might do a quick run tomorrow to see if it'll work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
its awesome, most easily customizable rom for the amaze yet. runs a lot better with faux kernel than the stock bricked kernel in the rom.

I hope theyre able to fix BT along with the rest of the items soon...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SpiritFyre:
Re: [ROM] Viper Amaze 1.6.3 [ICS |Android 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1]

hmm uts best to download via pc. itd take me a long time to upload to db

*waving the magic muffin they let us pass*. Sent from a Force filled Muffin wielder.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xFalse Profit:
ive been trying to on my laptop.

normally I average anywhere between 800 kbp/s - as high as 4 mb/s on my download speed. all those mirrors are going at less than 100kbp/s for me, freeze up so I have to pause and resume the download or it interrupts and I have to resume it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] inyallan:
i tried changing my governor from intellidemand to ondemand and i noticed a bttery improvement.

i hope this works for you guys too..

just sharin... :)

btw, im using.faux kernel v26.
[HTC Amaze 4G] soblecram:
has anyone tried firing up this rom, and adding dcacklam's kernal and BTFix? Or will it bork the install?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:
Re: [ROM] Viper Amaze 1.6.3 [ICS |Android 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1]

I can be totally wrong here but I though dcacklam's kernal and BTFixes were for cm and not sense roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Bluetooth

Bluetooth 100% will not work. It can find a device and pair to it but never completes the connection.

This only means it software, not hardware. if you revert to a sense 3.6 rom, it works. Like I said before, we got left behind at android 4.0.3 sense 3.6.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Dcacklams Kernel

Yes, I've tried it and it doesn't work.

There Still is a few minor issues that I'm trying to clear up. I've been going throught logcats and noticing a few errors that I'd like to get resolved.

It's at a base level of the structure that I'm not familiar with yet. But I'm reading and learning (Google is my best friend)

The brightness is not as dim as it should be and I should have a remedy by tomorrow. I believe it's just a build.prop edit.

Once elerything is settled, I will see about editing the framework res and a few other files to see where exactly the bluetooth is failing.

The bluetooth apks for this ROM are different from the android 4.0.3 ota update. I'm looking at the one x and sensation bluetooth structure

to find out which one is more like what ours should be.

Please remember that if you turn bluetooth on it will not fully turn off until you do a full reboot!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ivicask:
Thats why u have Xloud, and no theirs no point of adding those effects to speaker it would only distort it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
This for development and testing purposes, for your teammate. :cyclops:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sound enhancer

There's sony Xloud setting in the Venom tweaks...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Device

Yes, I know that.... I just thought it would be funny if it was already on the device..

There's no way of telling exactly how many people are running Viper on their amaze...
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
I see on the photo that this one is not rooted, it's running stock TMUS ROM.

It's heart breaking to see the cracked screen....
[HTC Amaze 4G] bry2872:
So any word on how the phone call problem is coming along?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
phone call problem

If you are referring to the system fc when trying to make a phone call, the issue has been fixed. Just install 1.6.7 then flash the 1.6.8 upgrade.

I have been working 12 hour shifts for the last two weeks straight so I haven't had much time to make more improvements.

I did a test build last night with as much sense 4.5 stuff as I could get in Viper without messing it up, and I might release it within the next few days. Just want to make sure it's stable.

There are some people that are still working on the wifi calling/wifi tether.

One of the people working on bluetooth got bt almost 99% working. Didn't make a backup and lost the build. we are trying to retrace steps to redo it. He was able to pair and connect to a bluetooth device, but wasn't able to fully test it. so he's starting from scratch.

After my job goes back into normal mode, I'll be working on some more indepth fixed.. Lot's of little background things that should make the rom more smoother when they are fixed and some battery improvements.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kusso92:
See I've tried that and its not as good as I've heard the beats or are play in other roms. Xloud gets kinda scratchy when u play it loud.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Are you on the 1.6.7 or upgraded the small update to 1.6.8?

If you're on 1.6.6 the sound was kind of weak. I redid the fixes from 1.6.5 in the 1.6.7 build which also fixed the headset reboot issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kiran1991(Clandestine):
SmartFlash was turned on, but that was not the problem.

I finally figured out and have a stock ICS running in it right now flashed via a RUU. The root of all problems was the unbranded version requiring update via stock ICS RUU before anything could be done to it. It needed stock GB RUU, S-OFF, SuperCID, stock ICS RUU then reflash of recovery to flash any custom ROM. Took almost 2 days to do it (about 1.5 GB of downloads was required in total, and my connection is pretty slow).
[HTC Amaze 4G] ghost_boy1412:
I had problem with my camera app in ViperAmaze 1.6.7 :( i can just only take pictures but cannot record any video despite downloading many camera apps to record, but it's still hopeless :-s Plz help!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Did you install the hd camera? From the aroma installer?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kusso92:
I'm on 1.6.7 with the 1.6.8 small update and I also have been getting random shutoffs too on my phone when I access the play store once and then over and over when I play the game hill climb racer. There were probably some other instances too and I just dont remember.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Reboots

Did the game work on previous builds?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ghost_boy1412:
you mean HTC camera Plus? i don't really remember, so what should i do? install it? or remove it? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:
I would fresh instal without camera plus. That messed up my camera too and that's what I did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
hd camera

I'm removing it from the next release
[HTC Amaze 4G] xDC23:

Its too not to and we will get more updates, hopefully wifi tether soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Working on it almost every night! I have some people who are helping with the kernel and framework files. They are narrowing down on the Bluetooth issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] uvt_novice:
F..k, the price for the device I was watching is skyrocketed. I'm afraid it's not longer worth the price nor can I afford it myself for testing purposes. :(

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Yep, I am pretty much sure you guys need to look into Sense 4 Settings.apk and Framawork.apk to fix the BT issue since we have BT working on ICS but Sense 3.6. So it should definitely be the HTC Sense internal issue but not the Android. :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I have noticed that the sense 3.6 has different Bluetooth services than the 4.1 we are trying the 3.6 Bluetooth apps and have to change the framework to match.. there's a lot of code that we are picking thru...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Camcorder

There is no camcorder icon

You can download the camcorder "Shortcut" App from the market.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5icnlhbm93ZW5zLkNhbWNvcmRlciJd

You can install this and it'll give you a "Shortcut" to the camcorder, but... It will not work with the camcorder button.

Camcorder button DOES NOT work on ANY 4.0 and up rom...

Don't worry chevy I'm certain you'll get bluetooth working because of all the progress you have done and with the other group trying to help get it working. This isn't like the evo 3d where it's near impossible to get 3d working on aosp roms! You can do it! :thumbup::) I know you can!
